Ye Shuning followed Qin Zongye out of the port, and no one questioned her. It was probably because of Qin Zongye.
Ye Shuning breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car with Qin Zongye. Now she had finally set foot on the land of Nangang and was considered to have returned home.
Qin Zongye saw that the little girl from Shu Ning didn't show any surprise or curiosity after getting on the car. It seemed as if the car was a very common thing. It was obvious that she often rode in cars or saw cars.
He also has some understanding of the situation in the mainland. There are very few cars in the mainland, and the ones that exist are only in big cities. They are completely invisible in rural areas.
Qin Zongye was very curious about the girl's identity. He felt that she must have an extraordinary family background. Since he had already decided to help her, he might as well help her a little more.
Qin Zongye looked at the little girl and said, "Come home with me first. I'll send someone to take you to get your ID tomorrow. It will be ready soon."
Ye Shuning would never follow Qin Zongye home. Although Mr. Qin had helped her before, she still remained vigilant. Besides, she didn't want to trouble him all the time.
She considered it carefully and said, "Mr. Qin, there's no need to go to your house. That would be too much trouble for you. Could you please help me book a hotel or inn? I'll pay for it myself. Tomorrow, please send someone to the hotel to meet me to apply for an ID card. Also, please tell me how much it costs to apply for an ID card. I'll pay for it myself."
Qin Zongye also saw that the little girl really didn't want to go home with him, and he couldn't help but look at her with a higher regard.
Nangang didn't know how many people wanted to get close to the Qin family, and many women even wanted to marry into the Qin family and live a wealthy life as a young lady. But the little girl in front of him was not tempted at all. He didn't think she was unaware of his family's status.
Just because his family has its own fleet, you should know his strength.
Qin Zongye said: "Okay, I'll take you to a hotel and book a room for you first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Zongye said, "It's nothing. Getting an ID card might be difficult for someone who just came to Nangang, but it's just a piece of cake for me."
Ye Shuning looked at both sides of the road through the car window. Nangang was indeed much more prosperous than the mainland. There were all kinds of bedding on both sides of the road, and people were coming and going. The clothes they wore were also much more varied and colorful than those in the mainland.
At this time, Nangang is full of vitality and provides many people with opportunities to make a fortune.
Seeing that the little girl was curious about the street scenes of Nangang but not very surprised, Qin Zongye became more certain that she must live in a big city.
Qin Zongye sent Ye Shuning to a hotel not far from his home. He didn't choose a high-end hotel because he was afraid that the girl would not have money to pay the bill. He booked her a more ordinary room.
He had been observing the girl and found that she didn't seem very curious about the hotel. She seemed to be quite familiar with it. Some of the questions she asked showed that she had stayed in a hotel before. This made Qin Zongye even more curious.
But he didn't ask too many questions. After booking a room, he said goodbye to her and went home.
Ye Shuning went into her room, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally settled down for the time being. She had found a benefactor this time. Once she got her legal ID, she would be able to move freely around Nangang. With the start-up capital, she could do anything to support herself and Li Jingyu.
She was worried about Li Jingyu and rushed to the research institute. She returned to her bedroom and saw that Li Jingyu was actually sitting on the bed and playing with toys. This child is really sensible.
Ye Shuning made two bowls of beef noodles and ate them with Li Jingyu. After dinner, Ye Shuning said, "Jingyu, if you want to sleep after dinner, take a nap. If you're not sleepy, play with your toys. Auntie still has some things to do. I'll come and accompany you after I'm done, okay?"
Li Jingyu nodded and said, "I can do it myself, Auntie, go and do the work."
Ye Shuning gently touched Li Jingyu's head and said, "Jingyu is so obedient. Auntie will make you something delicious tonight."
After Ye Shuning arranged for Li Jingyu to go and look at the things she had brought to the research institute, she needed money. She remembered that there was gold among the things she had brought. Gold was always a hard currency, and it was the easiest to exchange it for money.
Ye Shuning found gold bars in a box. It was a whole box full of gold bars, at least dozens of large yellow croakers. If she didn't count anything else, she wouldn't have to worry about this box of gold.
She had not sorted out the things she collected from the ship yet. She would have to sort them out and register them when she had time. She also had not had time to sort out the treasure she found in the ancient desert city last time. She would also have to register it so that it would be convenient to check it later.
Ye Shuning was not planning to use a large amount of gold. She just wanted to exchange some money to get through this most difficult period.
Ye Shuning changed into better clothes. Some people judge people by their appearance. She hoped to exchange them for money so she could pay back the money Qin Zongye had paid.
She took the gold bars and left the hotel. She had seen a pawn shop here on the road before, and she could go to the pawn shop to exchange the gold for money.
She currently does not have an ID card, and the exchange procedure at the bank is rather troublesome.
Walking along the streets of Nangang, Ye Shuning felt the vibrant and bustling city. The streets were filled with small vendors, shops of all kinds, and signs of various kinds hung densely. Cars and motorcycles were everywhere.
She heard that most people spoke the local Nangang dialect, while some had accents that were obviously different and she could tell they were not locals.
Ye Shuning, speaking the local Nangang dialect, inquired about pawnshops and found a fairly large one. A pawnshop is essentially a pawnshop in the old days, where you could pawn things in exchange for money.
Ye Shuning walked into the pawn shop. A young man of about eighteen or nineteen greeted her and said, "Miss, are you looking to pawn or redeem the pawn?"
Ye Shuning said: "I'll pawn it."
The young man greeted, "Then please, let our master see the things."
Ye Shuning followed the waiter to the window and said to the master inside, "Master, I want to exchange gold for money. Can you do it here?"
The master's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Change it, I want to see the quality of the gold."
Ye Shuning handed a gold bar to the master.
The pawnbroker was very enthusiastic when he saw that Ye Shuning's gold was a large yellow croaker of high quality. He started bargaining with Ye Shuning. The pawnbroker wanted to pay less, while Ye Shuning wanted to get more money.
In the end, Ye Shuning exchanged a little over 8,000 yuan, which was not a small amount, equivalent to several months' salary for an ordinary worker in Nangang. She knew that the pawnshop's master must have bargained for the price, but she didn't intend to make a big deal about it, after all, it was only a one-time thing.
Prices in Nangang were much higher than in the mainland, especially rent, so this amount of money wasn't much. But it would be enough to support her for a while, and during that time, she could look for ways to earn money.
