Chapter 26

Chapter 18, Cousin

The train carriage was rather quiet. It was the season for returning home for the New Year, so there weren't many people on this train from Luofu Province to Jinjing, the capital of Nansu Province. However, it would be crowded on the return trip.

Nansu Province was one of the country's major coastal economic provinces, with a thriving township and private economy.

Yang Zixuan gently rubbed Su Chen's small face with the back of his hand, a warm tenderness welling up in his heart.

With Cao Mei's help, Su Chen had already set up a store in the provincial capital, Zijin.

Cao Mei, who had an accounting background, was very shrewd and had a good business sense. With Yang Zixuan's help in solving their household registration issues in Zijin, she worked even harder.

This saved Yang Zixuan a lot of trouble.

On weekends, Yang Zixuan, despite his busy schedule at the county government, took time to accompany Su Chen to Nansu Province to pick up goods from Motorola's provincial agent.

Nansu Province had a thriving township enterprise sector, with many small bosses and merchants sporting a large mobile phone and a pager, looking quite impressive.

Therefore, Motorola's agency business in Nansu Province had already been well-established.

Su Chen was woken up by the rough texture of Yang Zixuan's palm and giggled.

Wearing a long black coat, Su Chen rested her head on Yang Zixuan's shoulder, feeling a warm sense of comfort. This man always made her feel at ease.

"Almost to Jinjing, sleep a bit more," Yang Zixuan said, brushing the hair behind Su Chen's ear and taking a light sniff. His mind, however, was on the Motorola pager provincial agency in Nansu Province—Shahé Group.

In his previous life, he had heard of Shahé Group. In his time, Shahé had become a giant in domestic electronics, expanding into real estate and investment. The CEO was very mysterious, and the vice president was a regular on the Forbes and Hurun Rich List, with a deep but hidden official background.

At this point, although Shahé Group was not as prominent as in the future, it still ranked among the top in the country. After the February Southern Tour by the country's leaders, Shahé Group was expected to experience further rapid development.

Yang Zixuan was now trying to contact a small sales manager in Shahé Group. As for the CEO and senior executives, he had no way to connect with them.

Pulling Su Chen, they got off the train. Looking at the well-developed Nansu Railway Station, Yang Zixuan couldn't help but sigh, "Just from the provincial capital, you can see the difference between Luofu and Nansu. Jinjing's infrastructure and commerce are much better than Zijin."

Su Chen, curious about this bustling ancient capital, didn't hear Yang Zixuan's words clearly.

After leaving the station, Yang Zixuan found a hotel nearby and checked in.

The hotel's front desk attendant, seeing the two of them holding hands, asked, "Do you want a single room or a double room?"

"A single room is enough!" Yang Zixuan answered before Su Chen could react, taking the luggage upstairs.

"Who said I want to stay with you?" Su Chen followed behind, playfully hitting Yang Zixuan's arm, but to the attendant, they looked like a very close couple.

If they were in Hongshui County, Su Chen wouldn't have the courage to stay with Yang Zixuan. As a traditional girl, she was more dependent on him now that they were in a different place and could勉强 accept the fact of staying together.

Yang Zixuan usually didn't wear glasses, but since they were in a different place and not appearing as the county magistrate of Hongshui, he specially put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Yang Zixuan, who was already handsome, looked even more refined and capable with the glasses.

"You look like you could act in a TV drama with those glasses on," Su Chen said, laughing as she tidied up their clothes.

After finishing, the two of them went out to stroll around Jinjing. Near the landmark Jinjing Tower, they found a place that looked like a bar and lounge.

"Since it's still early and not yet dinner time, let's go in and sit for a while," Yang Zixuan suggested.

It was Su Chen's first time in such a place, but she followed Yang Zixuan's lead and went in with him.

Yang Zixuan entered the bar and looked around at the interior. The high-end decoration of the era made him realize that the people who frequented this place had some money.

Actually, Yang Zixuan didn't come here just for fun. These places were full of people and information, and he might find something useful. He was now basically cut off from his family in Beijing, so the latest political information couldn't reach him. He could only rely on his memories from his previous life to navigate.

Yang Zixuan and Su Chen casually ordered drinks and sat at a nearby table, chatting idly.

At that moment, a man appeared at the door, wearing a cotton shirt with a blue thread pattern and dark blue jeans, with shiny leather shoes. He looked like a successful person from the future, very eye-catching. However, the woman beside him was even more eye-catching, with an exaggerated figure and fluttering eyes, instantly attracting the attention of the men in the bar. Yang Zixuan couldn't help but look up, but quickly lost interest.

Although the woman was beautiful, she couldn't compare to Lin Ruoshui or even Su Chen, who was dressed more simply and hadn't fully grown into her body, unlike this woman who exuded a mature woman's charm.

The woman clearly enjoyed the attention, walking in on high heels, with the man following closely. It was clear that she was the center of attention. The waiter hurried over, bowing and scraping, "Miss Zhang, your reserved seat is on the second floor. Please follow me."

Miss Zhang nodded, glancing at Yang Zixuan with a hint of curiosity. She was intrigued by this man who had only glanced at her once and then looked away, a calm attitude that somewhat offended her vanity.

So she deliberately walked closer to Yang Zixuan's table. As she approached, she suddenly stopped, her face changing, eyes wide with shock and confusion, covering her mouth.

The man beside her and the leading waiter were puzzled, looking at Miss Zhang.

Her high heels slowly moved toward Yang Zixuan, and she stood in front of him. After a long moment, she spoke in a choked, hoarse voice, "It's impossible, you can't be him, you look too much like him! Really, too much like him!"

"But you're not him! He was a fool!"

After saying that, Miss Zhang returned to normal, walking up the stairs in her high heels...
