Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

After being away from home for many years, it's time to go back and take a look. There are not only annoying people in Beijing, but also some friends.

It can also avoid investigations into murders.

Having made the decision, Ai Shutong did not delay and immediately got up from the bed and packed her luggage.

Most of it is placed in the space, leaving only one bag outside.

Xia Yu watched Ai Shutong packing her luggage, thinking that she was preparing things for moving in advance, and whispered to remind her: "Miss, the house has not been renovated yet, and these things are packed in advance. You have to open them when you need them."

Ai Shutong said as she packed her things: "I'm going back to Beijing!"

Xia Yu looked at her in confusion, "The New Year is coming soon. If we go back now and the road is not smooth, there may be traffic jams on New Year's Day."

Ai Shutong said in a muffled voice: "I received the investigation report from Lin's mother. She has an incurable disease and is dying. She has returned to Beijing. I want to see her for the last time."

"I remember your parents are servants in the Jin Mansion. Do you want me to go see them?"

Xia Yu thought of her parents' gray hair and wrinkles when she left home, and couldn't help crying. "I don't know how they are doing now. The year I left, Li Tai often asked them about my whereabouts."

"My wife not only deducted their monthly salary, but also always punished them. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I always felt that they were gone."

Ai Shutong glanced at her grief-stricken expression, stopped what she was doing, put her hands on her waist and said, "If you are so scared, go back and take a look."

"Don't stand there, go back to the house and pack your luggage."

Xia Yu was happy at first, but then became depressed, "What if the people from the Jin Mansion find us?"

Ai Shutong: "After President Liu died, Prime Minister Meng took over. Mr. Jin had offended Prime Minister Meng's cronies before, and his position as deputy director of the Education Bureau was long ago taken away."

“Now I’m just an ordinary rich man.”

"I have several high-ranking friends in Beijing. If he tries to use force, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."

Now Xia Yu felt relieved. She hurried back to the house and started packing her luggage.

Ai Shutong turned around and went to the living room to call Nichang.

"Hello? I'm Ai Shutong, who's in the store?"

Hu Ying answered the phone and said quickly, "Hello, Manager. Manager Zheng is here. Do you want me to call her for you?"

Ai Shutong: "Okay."

Less than a minute later, Zheng Qiuying's voice rang out, "Shutong, what's wrong? Are you not coming to work today?"

Ai Shutong felt a little guilty. She had just promised to work hard some time ago, but today she had to run away to Beijing and wouldn't be back for more than a month.

"Qiu Ying! I have to go back to Beijing for something. I'll leave Nishang to you!"

The next second, Zheng Qiuying's sharp voice came over with murderous intent, "Ai! Shu! Tong! What are you doing again?!"

"You were just kidnapped a while ago, and your scars haven't healed yet, and you're going out to eat, drink, gamble and whore again?"

"What did you tell you then? What did you promise me?"

Ai Shutong quickly comforted her: "Qiu Ying, listen to my explanation..."

Zheng Qiuying's roar interrupted her, "I don't know you yet? As soon as you pouted, I knew you were going to make an excuse. Just tell me whether you still want Nishang or not? Do you still want to open the women's bank you mentioned last time?"

"There are so many things waiting for you to do in Shanghai! But you are so bored that you want to go to Beijing."

"I still want to go to Beijing! I miss my cousin and my grandma. Can I put down my work and go to Beijing to see them?!"

"Yes!" Ai Shutong cut off Zheng Qiuying's roar with one word.

"You've been busy for almost a year. If you want to take a break, I will definitely agree!"

Ai Shutong never thought of herself as an unscrupulous profiteer. Since Nishang opened, Zheng Qiuying has hardly had a rest.

In fact, she had long wanted to let her employees take turns to take holidays, but her employees were too enthusiastic. Whenever she mentioned it, they always looked at her as if she was not doing her job properly, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

"Qiu Ying, you've been busy for so long, it's time to take a break."

"You have made a great contribution to the development of Nichang, but people always need to rest. If you don't rest for a long time, your body will have problems. Where can I find such a good employee then?"

"I think we can let Ci Sui and Hu Ying take turns to manage for a while, so you can take a break, what do you think?"

Seeing that Ai Shutong not only recognized her efforts but also cared about her health, Zheng Qiuying's anger subsided a lot and she was finally able to speak in a normal voice, "I'm in good health and don't need to rest."

After a few seconds of silence, Ai Shutong suggested, "Don't you miss your family in Beijing? Why don't you go back with me for a while? I'll reimburse you for the round-trip fare!"

Zheng Qiuying: "No, the New Year is coming soon, my parents will definitely not want me to go to Beijing, let's talk about this later!"

Ai Shutong spoke again cautiously, "Then I'll go by myself? Is that okay with you?"

Zheng Qiuying said disdainfully, as if shooing away a fly: "Go! Go! Just remember to come back alive!"

Ai Shutong chuckled twice and said coquettishly, "Qiu Ying is the best."

Zheng Qiuying couldn't stand her coquettish tone and immediately said, "I'm busy now, hang up now!"

Ai Shutong sighed at the hung up call and resigned herself to her fate as she dialed again, "Hello? Far East Hotel? I'm looking for Shen Jiaxing."

The Far East Hotel staff politely replied, "What do you want to talk to Mr. Shen about? Do you want me to pass it on?"

Ai Shutong: "Tell Shen Jiaxing that Ai Shutong wants to talk to him about something, and ask him to call me back as soon as possible."

Shen Jiaxing and his sister Shen Jialing are now living in the Far East Hotel.

We will move in after the villa is renovated.

At this time, Shen Jiaxing had just finished breakfast and was about to take his sister out to Nishang when he was told by the service staff that a lady named Ai Shutong asked him to call back.

When Shen Jiaxing heard this, he smiled and said to Shen Jialing, "Your sister Ai must have urged you to buy clothes. She is a modern person and can't stand girls wearing old-fashioned clothes."

The two of them went to the hotel lobby with the maid Xiao Cui, picked up the front desk phone, and called Ai Shutong back.

Ina, the hostess of the Lilac Garden, had just got up. Seeing the brewed coffee on the table, she immediately poured a cup. Just as she was about to drink it, she heard the phone ringing.

"Butler, answer the phone."

At this time, Ai Shutong jumped over like a rabbit, "Looking for me, I'll do it."

Pick up the phone and call: "Teacher Shen."

Seeing her series of unladylike actions, Ina shook her head and murmured, "Fortunately, my dear is not here, otherwise my petty mind would flare up again."

Shen Jiaxing smiled and replied, "It's me. Jialing is next to me. Are you looking for her?"

But as soon as Ai Shutong opened her mouth, she revealed a bombshell to him: "I'm looking for you. I'm in a hurry to go back to Beijing. When will the savings bank's fundraising meeting start?"

Shen Jiaxing was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in confusion, "Why are you going back to Beijing? What's the matter that can't you wait until after the New Year?"
