Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

"I just happen to have a batch of goods on hand. I'll pick out some good ones when I get back and send them to you!"

"No need to pay, just consider it my investment. You know, I've always wanted to get you into this business."

Ina raised her red wine glass and clinked it with his, "Thank you in advance!"

"This time's clothes are just a share of the investment, but next time's clothes must be paid for!"

"This is business. Besides, there are other people's shares here. You can't be the only one to suffer the loss."

After dinner, Ai Shutong said with a smile: "Yina, Peter, our clothing store is on this street, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Both of them readily agreed.

After reading it, Peter also made some suggestions, "You should prepare more beads and beautiful buttons, which are very popular now."

Ai Shutong quickly said: "Yes, we can also prepare some brooches and accessories."

After two seconds of silence, she continued, "Let's get some cosmetics too! Then we can provide a full range of services to the celebrities attending the banquet. In simple terms, it's image design!"

Zheng Qiuying happily agreed, "Great! Great! We are the only one in Shanghai that can provide this kind of image design. It will definitely be very popular."

Luo Cisui hesitated and said, "Then do we need to hire a master who is responsible for image design and makeup?"

"It's hard to recruit people in this field, isn't it? Those who can afford cosmetics won't apply, and those who can't afford cosmetics can't even put on makeup, let alone image design."

After hearing this, Zheng Qiuying signed up enthusiastically, "I know how to put on makeup! And I have a good aesthetic sense, so let me do this!"

Ai Shutong: "Cihui and I have to go to school, so we can't come every day. You are also responsible for receiving customers and recording their requests. It's too busy to handle it."

"Let's recruit people first! Then we'll take turns training the new people, and when they're ready to take up their posts, we'll start this business."

Zheng Qiuying looked regretful, "It's true that one only regrets not having enough people when they need them!"

After being busy for a few days, Ai Shutong received a call from Shen Jiaxing.

"Shutong, I've already asked Henry. He's free the day after tomorrow. Let's meet at the Hengbai Western Restaurant next to the International Hotel!"

Ai Shutong: "Okay, then I'll call Du Wanqing tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and then asked, "Do I still need to go?"

Shen Jiaxing: "It's best to go. Huang Lanying and I will go too. Huang Lanying has asked Inspector Huang, and he will also attend."

"It's better to make enemies than to dissolve them. Du Rixiao is a big shot in Shanghai. We are not afraid of him in the white world, but there are many people in the underworld who don't care about food or clothing. If he just reveals that he doesn't like you, there will be a lot of people rushing to help him!"

Ai Shutong curled her lips in displeasure. "I'm a law-abiding citizen, how could I be tainted by corruption? I really don't want to see them."

Shen Jiaxing advised: "Life is not that easy. You are still young and inexperienced. When you encounter more things in the future, you will naturally see things more clearly."

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes and mouthed: You are the one who has no vision!

Shen Jiaxing held the phone, but couldn't hear Ai Shutong's voice, so he asked loudly: "Shutong?! Shutong, are you still there?"

Ai Shutong quickly said, "Yes, I am still here. What else can I do for you, Teacher Shen?"

Shen Jiaxing: "Are you going the day after tomorrow?"

Ai Shutong sighed and said, "Go, I'll be your grandson!"

Shen Jiaxing laughed at her: "I've never seen a grandson who is so good at talking back at people."

"Then I'll send a driver to pick you up at 10:30 the day after tomorrow. Please be prepared in advance."

Ai Shutong: "Wow! Teacher Shen has a car now? When will he become Boss Shen?"

Shen Jiaxing: "Isn't this just what I need to deal with Huang Lanying? My father gave me a car to pick up and drop off the perfect daughter-in-law in his eyes."

Ai Shutong: "Hey! It's not easy for you either!"

Shen Jiaxing: "Who can live an easy life in this world?"

Ai Shutong immediately thought that although Prime Minister Meng now holds real power in the Beijing government, he has not yet ascended to the position of president, and he must be unhappy about it.

Suddenly her mood improved.

"See you the day after tomorrow, Teacher Shen!"

After finishing the call, Ai Shutong turned around and was shocked to see Li Rong standing quietly at the door looking at her!

"Are you okay? Li Rong!"

Ai Shutong said loudly.

Li Zhong, who heard the voice, hurried over and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Ai Shutong: "I just finished a call and turned around to see Li Zhong. I was shocked."

Without waiting for Li Zhong to ask, Li Rong took the initiative to reply: "I have prepared dinner, and I would like to ask if the young lady wants to eat here."

Ai Shutong patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "No need, Xia Yu is still waiting for me to eat, I'll go back first."

After returning to the room, Ai Shutong thought more and more that something was wrong. She was frightened just now. First, she didn't hear Li Rong's footsteps, and second, his eyes. Yes! It was his eyes, full of haze and calculation.

At this moment, Ai Shutong began to think about moving out.

It was sunny on March 8.

Today is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. When Ai Shutong was leaving, Xia Yu told her, "Miss, today is the Ghost Festival. You must come back early and don't wait until dark."

Ai Shutong didn't believe these things before, but since she traveled through time, she has become much more timid and feels that it is better to be more reverent.

"okay, I get it!"

Ai Shutong, wearing a champagne-colored short-sleeved cheongsam and exquisite makeup, got into the car that came to pick her up.

When they arrived at the Hengbai Western Restaurant, Shen Jiaxing, Huang Lanying, Du Wanqing and Mrs. Lin were already there.

Ai Shutong walked up to them and greeted them with a smile.

"When will Mary and the others arrive?"

Ai Shutong asked Shen Jiaxing.

Shen Jiaxing: "Mary and Ellen should be here soon, but Henry won't come until the last minute."

"Although he usually doesn't act arrogant in front of us, he actually cares about his reputation the most. Today he will appear as a baron, so he can't come early."

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement and said, "Well, the big shots always appear last!"

At around 11:, Inspector Huang, who had a mustache, arrived with two police officers. Everyone stood up and came forward to greet him. After some greetings, he sat next to Shen Jiaxing.

Like an elder, he asked, "Is Jiaxing's work going well recently?"

Shen Jiaxing began to make a report.

At nearly twelve o'clock, a Pontiac drove up to the door of the western restaurant. After Alan got out of the driver's seat, he turned around, opened the back door, and stretched out his hand. The next moment, a hand wearing a white lace glove came up to him.

Mary slowly got out of the car and looked up. "Is this the place?"

Allen: “That’s right!”

Their handsome faces and luxurious attire made them look like a prince and princess from Buckingham Palace, which deeply shocked Du Wanqing, Inspector Huang and others.

The corners of Ai Shutong's mouth twitched unnaturally, and she thought, I wonder how long Mary can hold on.
