The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 103 Jiangcheng
Gao Qinghe came out of the bathroom and was not surprised to see Huang Yanqiu standing outside the door.

The system has just told her what happened at the door.

After Gao Qinghe washed her hands, the two exchanged glances and walked to their seats one after the other.

Huang Yanqiu had two bags in front of her and behind her. One bag contained their luggage, and the other contained government bonds she had bought for 50,000 yuan.

None of them were heavy, and Huang Yanqiu didn't feel anything carrying them by herself.

She looked at Gao Qinghe walking ahead, who was wearing a loose navy blue shirt, black trousers, sneakers, her hair tied in a low bun, and a gray baseball cap.

If someone else wore this outfit, they would be completely inconspicuous in a crowd.

But Gao Qinghe's attire was different.

She stood upright, her exposed neck was long and fair, her chin was perfectly pointed, and her light-colored lips were pitiful.

Huang Yanqiu looked at her, then looked down at herself. The clothes were similar, but on her, she looked like Cinderella.

"She's so eye-catching, maybe we should just put a sack over her and kill her," Huang Yanqiu thought with a touch of jealousy.

The two hadn't been gone long, but when they returned, their seats had been taken.

Without saying a word, Gao Qinghe gestured for Huang Yanqiu to go up.

Huang Yanqiu yelled, "Are these your seats? Why are you sitting here like this? Get out of the way!"

The little girl looks very young, but she acts like a shrew.

The two people who had been occupying the seats knew they were in the wrong and left while muttering curses under their breath.

Gao Qinghe had ridden the train countless times, and now, clutching the bag Huang Yanqiu had thrown back at her, she closed her eyes to rest.

Huang Yanqiu was very excited. It was her first time riding a train, and she found everything interesting.

The eighteen-year-old girl was at a lively age and kept chatting with the person sitting next to her.

My intense curiosity was finally satisfied and I quieted down when the train, which had been running for six hours, came to a stop.

As they were about to get off the train, Gao Qinghe and her companion stood close together, following the crowded flow of people out of the train station.

The bright neon lights of the big city, with their strong dreamlike quality, crashed in.

Huang Yanqiu's eyes widened, and she murmured softly, "So beautiful."

It was just getting dark, around 7:30 pm.

The restaurants next to the train station were packed with people, and bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles weaved back and forth on the sidewalks, making it extremely crowded.

The system beeped several times; if it hadn't been for the warning, the thief would have already reached into Gao Qinghe's bag.

Gao Qinghe just wanted to leave this chaotic place as soon as possible.

Huang Yanqiu also snapped out of her initial excitement and scanned the surrounding suspicious figures like an eagle.

Jiangcheng is a more prosperous metropolis than the provincial capital of Southwest China. It is developing rapidly, has many new and exciting things, and people's lifestyles are approaching the level of the early 21st century.

Gao Qinghe bought a local map at a newsstand, and the two sat at the bus stop looking through it, while also collecting the voices of locals coming from the vicinity.

I was just about to look for a hotel near the nearest bank when someone next to me shouted in panic:
"My wallet is missing! Has anyone seen my wallet?"

As they were shouting, a loud crash of shattering glass suddenly came from the alley behind the bus stop.

Huang Yanqiu tensed up immediately and pulled Gao Qinghe away.

She had already memorized the location on the map; she turned left and right, and stopped in front of a bank.

The bank was already closed at night, so Huang Yanqiu suggested that they might as well sleep in front of the bank instead of staying in a hotel.

However, she couldn't make the decision herself, so she could only stay at a small hotel nearby with Gao Qinghe.

A room costs eighteen yuan and has a private bathroom with hot water.

"I thought such a nice environment would be more expensive than what we have back home."

Huang Yanqiu stood naked in the bathroom, testing the hot water while sighing.

Gao Qinghe first checked the doors and windows of the room to make sure there were no problems, then placed her bag on the bedside table.

Hearing this, he smiled and replied, "That's the advantage of big cities. With a large area comes greater competition, but the cost of living and transportation is actually lower."

Of course, the subsequent skyrocketing housing prices in Jiangcheng are not included. In her previous life, Gao Qinghe visited Jiangcheng only a few times, maybe five or six.

They went straight into the shopping mall after landing at the airport, showing a very superficial understanding of the city.

But she knew that breakfast here had to be mixed rice noodles.

The next morning, after having breakfast at a breakfast shop downstairs, the two waited at the bank entrance.

As soon as the bank doors opened, Huang Yanqiu immediately asked how much the government bonds were for today.

The staff member replied, "It's 105 yuan today, the same as yesterday."

As they were talking, the small blackboard was put up, and it indeed showed 105 yuan.

The teller assumed the two wanted to buy it and told them that the interest rate was higher than that of a deposit, suggesting they hold it long-term as it would appreciate in value.

Unexpectedly, the white girl behind the black girl stepped forward, placed her schoolbag on the counter, and said in a calm voice:

"We want to redeem it."

The teller immediately noticed something unusual and tentatively asked, "How much do you want to exchange?"

Gao Qinghe unzipped her backpack. "All of them."

All the government bonds purchased for 50,000 yuan are inside. Because they have been sorted, they are bundled into stacks of one hundred each, making it look like there are a little over five stacks.

"Can I redeem it?" Seeing the teller's slight hesitation, Gao Qinghe asked again.

The teller nodded in return, indicating that she should let it in through the small window.

"Manager Zhang!" The teller called over another person who looked like a leader, and the two of them calculated the government bonds together.

The final exchange amount was set at 53025 yuan.

"Please confirm the amount, and sign if it's correct."

After Gao Qinghe signed the form, the teller took out the money box and handed her more than 53,000 yuan.

As the two young girls calmly stuffed the money into their bags and left, the teller and manager exchanged a glance, both somewhat shocked.

The buzz surrounding the "ten-thousand-yuan household" hasn't died down yet.

Someone actually sold over 50,000 yuan worth of government bonds!

The two, who seemed calm on the surface, were anything but calm once they arrived at their temporary hotel.

Gao Qinghe was happy that she had made the right bet, and she checked each banknote over and over again, smiling as she looked at each one.

But this was not her final destination.

Next, she will head south, where the prices are highest in Shanghai.

She also knew that the lowest-priced area was in Huicheng.

However, just in case, I went downstairs and bought several newspapers to study in advance.

As for Huang Yanqiu, she was still shocked that she had earned three thousand yuan in just four days.

"It feels like the money just fell from the sky?"

Gao Qinghe thought to herself, "This is nothing."

"Check if anything is missing, then we're off."

Gao Qinghe slung the bag full of cash over her shoulder and gestured for Huang Yanqiu to check it.

After the two finished packing and checked out of the room, Gao Qinghe's pager went off.

She picked it up and saw that it was indeed Jiang Baohai looking for her.

I was so happy today that I forgot to call him. It's only afternoon, and I'm already frantically calling him.

Gao Qinghe hurriedly returned his call from a nearby phone booth, told him her next destination, and then hung up.

The two took a taxi to the train station and bought tickets for the next train to Shanghai.

The train departs at 4 PM and arrives at 11 PM.
