Liu Yanran looked at Gu Shimiao sincerely, her eyes full of anticipation. She gently held Gu Shimiao's hand and said firmly, "Sister Shimiao, come with me to Jing City and become the manager of Liuji Hotpot there. That way, we can look after each other."
After spending some time together, Liu Yanran realized that although Sister Shi Miao had not attended high school, she was very intelligent. Following Liu Pianran's lead in learning accounting, she made few mistakes at the beginning, but nothing happened since then. For matters involving money, it was more reliable to leave them to one's family.
Gu Shimiao was stunned, a little hesitant. She knew Liu Yanran's suggestion was out of concern for her, but she had just adapted to the pace of life in the border area, and she was a little worried about going to a completely unfamiliar city at this time.
In addition, if she left, her mother and brothers would have to go back to eating in the cafeteria again.
Liu Yanran seemed to see through her concerns and continued, "Sister Shi Miao, I know what you're worried about. But this is really a rare opportunity! We can work together to make Liuji Hotpot even better. Now that Shi Jing and I are engaged, we're all family! Can't we just have Mother Gu and the two brothers come over for dinner? Besides, I'm not taking you because you're Gu Shijing's sister. I'm also planning to bring Li Hua with me so she can stay away from her awful mother."
Hearing this, Gu Shimiao was deeply moved. She knew Liu Yanran was truly thinking about her and Li Hua, and she understood how important this opportunity was to them. Although she was still reluctant to leave her family, the thought of going to Beijing with Liu Yanran to start a business filled her with anticipation.
"Yanran, thank you." Gu Shimiao held Liu Yanran's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes. "I am willing to go to Jing City with you, and we will work hard together!"
Liu Yanran smiled with satisfaction, patted Gu Shimiao on the shoulder and said, "Okay! It's decided then! In a few days, my fourth brother and I will go back to Beijing to take care of things over there. Then, I'll send someone to pick you and Li Hua up there."
The two smiled at each other, as if they saw a beautiful life in the future. At this time, Gu Shimiao also secretly made up his mind to cherish this opportunity and create a beautiful future for himself and Liu Yanran together.
Liu Yanran and Liu Guoxing successfully obtained a letter of introduction, and then they successfully transferred Liu Yanran's food allowance to the school. Liu Guoxing had already transferred his own food allowance in his hometown last time, and this time he expertly assisted Liu Yanran in completing the formalities.
The next day, Liu Guoxing and Liu Yanran boarded the train to Beijing. They had been there before, so they were familiar with the route. Unfortunately, it was no use as they couldn't buy sleeper tickets. However, they listened to gossips from other people along the way, so it wasn't boring.
Because the weather was hot, they rejected their mother's suggestion to boil eggs and take them to eat. After all, the boxed meals on the train were actually quite delicious. Although they were a bit more expensive without tickets, they were enough for two people!
After arriving at the station, the two looked at each other with disdain, feeling that they were about to go bad and needed to clean up as soon as possible. They were about to go to a nearby guesthouse when they heard a cheerful voice. "Liu Guoxing, this way."
Oh, it was Fourth Brother’s classmate Gao Zhonghua. He calculated that the train would almost arrive, so he came here an hour early. Because of the delay, he had been squatting here for more than two hours, his face covered in sweat. Now he came here with a silly smile on his face.
Seeing the two, Gao Zhonghua immediately came forward and greeted them warmly. "You're finally here! I was afraid I'd be late," he said, scratching his head with a silly grin. Then he took their luggage and led them to the car. He borrowed a tricycle from a neighbor.
Along the way, Gao Zhonghua chatted with them about their recent situation, introduced the decoration of the hot pot restaurant, and asked for their opinions from time to time. Liu Guoxing and Liu Yanran listened with great interest.
Soon, they arrived at the guesthouse next to the hot pot restaurant. Gao Zhonghua helped them check in and then took them to their room. The room was small but tidy, with a bed, a table, and a chair. The two rooms were adjacent to each other.
Liu Guoxing and Liu Yanran put down their luggage, packed up briefly, and then got in the car to wash up. After washing up, they felt much refreshed and invigorated.
Gao Zhonghua was waiting in Liu Guoxing's room. He was grateful to his classmate for offering him a job. He only had to help oversee the renovations, and he was paid 40 yuan a month, more than a regular worker could earn. He decided to treat them to a meal at a restaurant later and would do his best to help them in the future.
"Let's go, I'll treat you. Let's go to a restaurant for a meal and welcome you back." Gao Zhonghua said with a smile.
"That's embarrassing. You've helped us so much." Liu Yanran said a little embarrassedly.
"You're welcome, we're all friends. Besides, you've come all the way here, so I should play the role of host." Gao Zhonghua pulled them out.
The three of them went to a home-style restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and chatted while eating. Gao Zhonghua introduced some of the situation in Beijing to them, allowing them to have a better understanding of this unfamiliar city.
The Liu siblings did not compete with Gao Zhonghua to pay, but only hoped to help him in other places in the future.
After dinner, Gao Zhonghua took them to a hot pot restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant was basically completed, with only some details to be processed.
