"If you like it, I can order some more from her. Many people in our group want some too," Yu Hai immediately offered.
"Could we order more? My colleagues want to too..." Wang Miao said to her husband, looking at the people who had gathered around her.
"No problem! Give me the number when you get back tonight," Yu Hai said generously. It's just a few zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). If it can help his wife maintain a good relationship, he'd even make the call himself.
"By the way, our group order price is 20% of the store's price. If they want to eat other things, they can order those too. As long as the total quantity is large, the store can make it," Yu Hai added, recalling the conversation he had just overheard.
"Great! Let's order some more egg tarts for Mom! She didn't get enough last time." Wang Miao gets along very well with her mother-in-law, and the two often go shopping together. Yu Hai has to take a backseat in front of her mother.
"It's up to you." Yu Hai chuckled, said a few more words to his wife, and then the two hung up the phone.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zi's shop became so famous. Yu Hai held up the milk tea card, looked at it from both sides, and then put it in his inner pocket, which he couldn't lose!
As the National Day holiday approaches, more and more tourists are coming to Beijing, and the Tianqiao area is becoming increasingly lively.
Every day from eight o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock at night, the streets are crowded with people. Liu Zi marvels at the good business of the store, but at the same time worries about how to live here in the future.
Especially after the store's business improved, more elderly women were hired to help out, and there were people coming and going, which was very inconvenient.
Everyone comforted her, saying that things would get better after this period, but Liu Zi knew about the situation in the future. Beijing was the most famous tourist destination in the country, and everyone was proud to come to Beijing Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
After thinking it over, Liu Zi decided that in order for her family to get a good rest, she would not move from the overpass area for the time being, but would stay in the tenement instead!
Not long after, Aunt Zhang brought Liu Zi some terrible news.
"Demolition?"
"Yes, it's still in the planning stage, but some news has already leaked out that Aunt Zhou from the next courtyard has relatives in the community."
Liu Zi thought back carefully and realized that she hadn't paid much attention to the demolition and relocation situation in her previous life, and she hadn't bothered to inquire about it when she bought the house.
Residents living in large courtyards might be willing to relocate, but Liu Zi and Aunt Zhang felt that no apartment building could compare to their own small courtyard, which was spacious and had its own entrance.
However, Liu Zi also knew that such a large-scale planning project could not be stopped by one or two people.
If we demolish your property now, you'll be relocated to a place around the Third Ring Road. But if we demolish it again in twenty years, you'll be relocated to the Fifth or Sixth Ring Road.
"We haven't even had a chance to settle into this house yet, and we have to move again!" sighed Aunt Zhang.
Liu Zi was also a little annoyed. Although the demolition wouldn't cost her money, she would have to find a new place to live.
"No, I have to go to the market and buy some incense and candles. We must have forgotten to offer incense to the Kitchen God and the Earth God when we moved. I have to make up for it." Aunt Zhang grabbed her wallet and rushed out the door.
Liu Zi ignored her, just to put the old woman at ease.
She took out her phone and called her parents, asking them to help her find out some information.
Before afternoon, Liu Daqiang called back.
"They said they're going to build a road in your area, but the location hasn't been decided yet."
"Ugh! It's like having a sword hanging over our heads; we don't even know when it will fall!" Liu Zi said, somewhat irritated.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The government is paying for you to move into a new apartment and you're still not happy!" Liu Daqiang scolded his daughter.
“I’m not happy about it. I like my little courtyard. I hate how stuffy the apartment building is.”
Liu Daqiang was speechless for a moment. He hadn't felt it before, but now he also felt uncomfortable living in his apartment building.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zi had another idea. She didn't earn money easily, and she couldn't use it all to buy a house!
She's even thinking about starting her own media company!
I make my own movies and TV series, and plan and produce variety shows...
These are all wishes she couldn't fulfill in her past life; she doesn't know if she can achieve them in this one.
Forget it, there's no use worrying about these things. Let's just take it one step at a time!
Of all the rebirth and transmigration novels I read in my past life, none of them had a story as miserable as hers.
Liu Zi lowered her head; she would continue writing "King of Soldiers," a story of never giving up on anyone.
Wang Yan followed the editor-in-chief off the train; it was his first time visiting Beijing!
My eyes looked around curiously; there were so many people at Beijing Railway Station!
"Wang Yan, hurry up and keep up, or you'll get lost." Someone called out to him from ahead.
Wang Yan immediately snapped out of his daze, grabbed his bag, and chased after him.
"I'm so sorry, Editor-in-Chief!" Wang Yan said softly as he sat in the car that had come to pick them up.
"It's alright, is this your first time in Beijing? You'll get used to it after a few more visits. I was the same way when I first came." The editor-in-chief was a nice guy, patting Wang Yan on the shoulder.
"This is my first time. I went to university in the province before, and this is my first time in the capital," Wang Yan said shyly.
"That's perfect. Let's go out and have a good look around tomorrow while we're free."
"Hmm!" Wang Yan hadn't told Liu Zi before coming, so he didn't know if she was in Beijing!
Everyone fell silent and turned their attention to the street scene of Beijing outside the window.
Especially when passing by the square, everyone almost crawled outside, exclaiming in amazement.
The car drove for another half hour before arriving at the guesthouse where they were going to stay. After getting out of the car, the most discussed topic was how huge Beijing was.
Wang Yan made the call from the front desk, and Liu Zi was a little taken aback when she received it.
"You're already here? Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" Liu Zi was quite surprised.
"The organizers will provide transportation, why would you need to make the trip?"
"Are you in Beijing right now? I'd like to talk to you about the upcoming arrangements for the column." Wang Yan didn't have much to do; the editor-in-chief and the president were the ones who were busy.
"Sure! Where do you live? I'll pick you up tomorrow and treat you to Peking duck."
Liu Zi readily agreed. To be honest, she was very satisfied with Wang Yan as an editor; he was responsible, had few problems, and could handle things.
After nearly a year of getting to know each other, Liu Zi felt it was pretty good.
To thank them for their hard work throughout the year, and also to show some hospitality as a host, Liu Zi had to treat them to a meal!
"No need, no need, we can just find a place where we can talk." Wang Yan was too embarrassed to let Liu Zi spend money.
"You didn't refuse. Tomorrow I'll have Wang Jian drive over to pick you up. After dinner, we'll go to my studio to talk."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Wang Yan had no choice but to agree.
Liu Zi then called Wang Jian again, telling him to come over early the next day and to organize the works she had written over the past year, as she would need them tomorrow.
Wang Jian readily agreed.
It just so happens that we've arranged some work together this time, and Liu Zi plans to go to the military base for research in a few days.
It's not close to Beijing, and communication isn't convenient there, so she needs to make preparations for all of that early.
