Jiang Ning led them to the post office, where they indeed found many people reselling stamps.
A sheet of monkey stamps contains eighty stamps and costs 640 yuan. Through bargaining, the price was reduced to 600 yuan per sheet, and she would buy as many as she could get.
Upon hearing the news, many people brought their treasured stamps to the site.
In the end, Jiang Ning bought one hundred sheets and some loose tickets, while Gao Baoliang bought two sheets.
Lin Qiao trusted Jiang Ning's judgment and bought five copies.
She didn't have that much money on her own, so Luo Guangming paid for everything, and she didn't dare to buy more.
After buying the monkey tickets, Lin Chen suggested going to a dance hall to dance.
Gao Baoliang recalled that there was renovation work being done next to Huai Mansion, and it seemed to be a dance hall.
Dance halls and video arcades began to spring up like mushrooms after rain.
However, Lin Chen took them to a different place.
He hadn't been there himself; he was just taking everyone there to see it.
However, there are always people who have both money and leisure time. The place was smoky and crowded with people swaying to the music.
These things are all newly emerging.
Some self-employed individuals who ventured into Guangzhou made a little money and then thought of opening a dance hall to earn more.
They sell alcohol and soft drinks inside; they don't make too much money.
At first, only some idle young people went there, but later more and more people accepted it, and the level became higher and higher, gradually developing into a karaoke place where singing and dancing were allowed.
Ballroom music began to play.
Jiang Ning could dance, so she led Lin Chen in a dance.
Neither Lin Qiao nor Luo Guangming knew how to do it, so they could only imitate Jiang Ning by hugging each other and jumping around aimlessly.
Gao Baoliang had no one to dance with, so he could only drink by himself.
However, by the end of the day, he was in a much better mood.
He realized he wasn't the only single guy in the dance hall, and he chuckled to himself, thinking, "Well, I'm not the only one without a partner."
Along the way, several fashionably dressed young girls mustered up the courage to invite him, but he refused them all.
He doesn't like heavy makeup, with a thick layer of powder on his face, and he doesn't know what he looks like after removing his makeup.
He couldn't help but sigh at how fast times had changed. People used to admire simple beauty, but now things have changed.
Just as he was lost in thought, a girl at the next table, also wearing heavy makeup, said to a rather older-looking man sitting opposite her:
Are you really only twenty-six years old?
The man gave a simple, honest smile and adjusted his glasses: "That's right, I'm twenty-six and already a section chief. My mom says that it's not enough to just be successful in my career; I also need a happy family life for it to be a perfect life."
Don't worry, once you marry into my family, you won't need to work at all. You can stay home, tidy up the house, take care of my mother, and look after the children. My monthly salary is over a hundred yuan, which is enough for our family to live comfortably.
"Of course, you can't come to places like this again, and you have to take off your makeup. My mom doesn't like women who wear makeup..."
Gao Baoliang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
With this man's appearance, how can he make so many demands?
He keeps talking about how great his mother is, why doesn't he just live with her?
He felt sorry for the girl.
However, it's really too exaggerated for a girl to draw a picture that looks like a monkey's butt. If it were him, he would turn around and leave immediately after such a blind date.
After the man finished speaking, the girl laughed and said, still chewing bubble gum and occasionally blowing a bubble, shaking her leg with an air of arrogance:
"Didn't the matchmaker tell you my conditions? I must own a courtyard house, decorated in a palatial style, and a car—not a bicycle, but a sedan..."
She listed her conditions, and with each one she mentioned, the man's face darkened further.
In the marriage market, he was definitely a top choice for a son-in-law, but unexpectedly, this woman was still not satisfied and wanted more.
Does she really think she's some kind of noble lady? So what if her family has a powerful background? She's just a lowly clerk with nothing to brag about!
Unable to tolerate her unreasonable demands any longer, he abruptly stood up and gave the girl a cold laugh:
"It seems you're not really interested in going on a blind date today, so I won't waste your time. If you miss out on me, you'll regret it!"
The man walked away with a long face.
The girl stuck out her tongue behind him, and when she saw Gao Baoliang looking at her, she gave a shy smile.
Gao Baoliang lowered his head awkwardly, finished his beer, and headed towards the restroom.
He actually stared at the blind date for more than ten minutes, it's amazing.
After he finished using the toilet, he suddenly felt nauseous and vomited violently in the toilet.
When I came out to wash my hands, I saw a girl shake herself off and leave.
The clothes were clearly the same ones the girl had just worn, but her face was completely devoid of makeup, having been washed clean with cold water.
I must say, she looks pure and lovely without makeup, and her skin is so smooth and delicate, she looks a hundred times better than when she's wearing makeup.
Her hair, which had been loose, was now casually tied into a ponytail, giving her a girl-next-door vibe.
He scooped up some water to rinse his mouth, put the strange girl out of his mind, and went to find Lin Chen.
They're all in pairs, while he's the only one feeling sorry for himself. He might as well go home and get some sleep!
The group had a great time, and the New Year celebrations were finally over.
Lin Qiao and Luo Guangming bought tickets back to Hunan Province and left quickly.
Wang Xiufen was naturally reluctant to part with them, but the thought of them coming soon filled her with anticipation.
The wholesale market has reopened, and Gao Baoliang continues to wholesale clothes.
The renovation of the courtyard house is nearing completion, and he occasionally takes a stroll around to check for any omissions or deficiencies and see if there are any projects that need to be added.
Lin Chen and his group weren't short of money; their main concern was finding comfortable accommodations. Besides, he had a room here, so this place felt like his home, and it had to be perfect.
Lin Chen also became busy, preparing for his graduation defense and interning at the power design institute, spinning like a top every day.
He also needs to find time to find someone to clean up all the garbage on that piece of land.
The garbage piled up like a mountain, and it would cost more than a thousand yuan to transport it all to the garbage station.
That's quite an expense!
Jiang Ning also went to work, which coincided with the start of school for her two children.
She drops her child off at school every day before going to work.
As soon as he arrived in class, Jack called a meeting.
First, everyone received a start-of-work bonus, and then an important personnel change was announced.
Because of last year's success, he specifically hired more people, and the business was no longer handled by him alone, but rather three business teams were established.
Xu Yan, Zhao Chunlan, and Jiang Ning were appointed as team leaders, each leading a salesperson and a sales assistant.
When Zhao Chunlan heard that Jiang Ning had become the group leader, she said sarcastically:
"She's just here for an internship. Can she handle such a heavy responsibility?"
Jack chuckled: "Then why don't you take on the workload of two groups by yourself? Can you handle it?"
