Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

When it came to going to the black market, Liu Jingxue quickly shook her head, denying the idea.

“No, you must not go to the black market.

The people I met yesterday sounded like black market organizers.

From what they said, it seemed that something had happened in the black market in Xinshi, and several forces were attacking each other.

If a newbie like me were to break in at this time, I would probably be in danger.

And I don’t even know if there is a black market now.” Liu Jingxue said to herself.

But if I don’t go to the black market, where can I find a way to exchange those tickets for money, or for tickets that I can use?

Liu Jingxue began to search in her mind for the people the original owner knew, to see if she could find someone who could help.

Suddenly, she glanced and thought, this guy seems to be a good choice.

Chen Yanran, the original owner’s high school classmate.

When the original owner went to get her high school diploma at the end of June, she heard her bragging in front of her classmates that she would soon go to work as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative in the south of the city.

Being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative is a job that everyone dreams of in this era. Not only does one have access to all kinds of scarce materials in the supply and marketing cooperative, but one also has a wide network of contacts.

It is said that most of the defective products that others cannot get are consumed internally by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Only when I cannot digest it all will I tell my relatives and friends so that they can also benefit from it.

Although the relationship between the original owner and her was not very good, they could still communicate.

Chen Yanran comes from a wealthy family and is a bit arrogant, looking down on many people in the class.

But he treated the original owner, the child of a martyr, differently. Although he was not so friendly, at least he was not too arrogant in front of the original owner.

If I take those tickets to her, she should be able to exchange them.

Especially the watch tickets and bicycle tickets inside, they are hard to come by.

If Chen Yanran could help someone in urgent need get a ticket, it would be a big favor in front of that person, and she would not suffer any loss no matter how you look at it.

Otherwise, go find her and try.

After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue disguised herself, took a backpack, and planned to take a bus to the south of the city.

It’s not that she hadn’t thought about riding a bicycle there, but the bicycle in her space was brought from the modern era, not the one in the original owner’s home.

In this era, bicycles need to be registered.

Generally, after buying a bicycle, you would go to the public security bureau to register it with the receipt issued by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Her bicycle doesn't have a license plate. If she rides it outside and someone sees her, they might think she got it illegally and detain both her and her bicycle.

After getting off the bus, Liu Jingxue walked for a distance and arrived at the South City Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Because she was not sure whether Chen Yanran actually came to work here, Liu Jingxue immediately started looking for her at several counters as soon as she entered the supply and marketing cooperative.

At a glance, I saw Chen Yanran at the counter, greeting customers with an impatient look on her face.

This young lady still hasn't changed her temper and is never friendly to customers who come to shop.

However, this is also a common problem of this era. No matter whether it is a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative or a waiter in a state-owned restaurant, ordinary people can never expect to get a good look from them.

Otherwise, after the restrictions on private business were relaxed, the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants would not have been the first public institutions to go bankrupt.

But this time I'm here to ask for help, not to lecture her, so I have to have a correct attitude.

Liu Jingxue silently adjusted her mindset.

There were not many people shopping in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time, as the peak period had passed.

Liu Jingxue came to the counter where Chen Yanran was on duty.

Chen Yanran was getting something from the customer and thought someone was cutting in line. She didn't even look over here and just yelled, "Don't you see everyone is queuing up? You're the only one who's not.

Why don’t you go and queue up at the back?”

Liu Jingxue deliberately teased, "Our classmate Yanran has such great authority that even classmates have to line up to talk to you.

Then I have to make an appointment a few days in advance to see if you are available for the interview."

Hearing a familiar voice and someone affectionately calling her classmate Yanran, Chen Yanran quickly raised her head and looked over here.

Seeing Liu Jingxue standing there, looking at her with a smile on her face, Chen Yanran couldn't help but say happily, "It turns out to be Xiaoxue, why are you here today?

Isn't your home in the west of the city? Don't you usually buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative over there?"

Liu Jingxue did not hide anything and directly stated her purpose, "I came here specifically to find you. I need your help with something."

Chen Yanran immediately became interested when she heard this. She had been classmates with Liu Jingxue for two years, but she had never heard her speak like this in front of her.

My family background is not bad, but Liu Jingxue's family is not an ordinary family. Although they are not as high-profile as me, the food and things they use are not difficult for ordinary people to get.

I didn't expect that the sun would rise from the west today, and this person would actually come to me for help.

Chen Yanran felt that her vanity was satisfied and she no longer had the heart to greet the customer in front of her. She just wanted to know what Liu Jingxue wanted to ask her.

"If you need my help with anything, don't worry, I will never refuse as long as I can do it," Chen Yanran promised.

"It's hard to talk about this place. When you're done, we can talk about it in detail somewhere else."

In this era, buying and selling is prohibited, and exchanging tickets with others must be done privately without letting others know.

If this were to happen in public, some villains might report it.

Liu Jingxue didn't want to bring such trouble to herself or Chen Yanran.

Chen Yanran glanced at the two or three customers at her counter, then looked at her colleague who was chatting at the counter next to her, and greeted them directly.

"Sister Hong, Sister Hong."

"Yanran, what can I do for you?" The salesperson who was greeted by Chen Yanran responded quickly.

Although Chen Yanran has only been here for a short time, she has a considerable background, and other colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative are usually very courteous to her.

"Sister Hong, my classmate came to see me for something.

There is no one over there right now, please come over and help me greet these customers."

"It's just a small matter. Okay, no problem."

Sister Hong left her counter and came to Chen Yanran to greet customers for her.

After the customer took over, Chen Yanran lifted the counter partition, walked out, and walked to the back holding Liu Jingxue.

"Yanran, let other people help you. If the leader sees it, it won't have any impact on you, right?" Liu Jingxue asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay, this is a common thing here.

As long as it doesn’t interfere with work, the leader won’t care about these trivial matters.”

After pulling Liu Jingxue for a walk, Chen Yanran said hesitantly, "It's only been two months since we last met. How come you've lost weight? You seem to have grown taller."

“I have lost some weight, but I haven’t grown any taller.

Maybe it’s because I lost weight that I look taller visually.” Liu Jingxue lied.

"That should be it."

After arriving at an empty corner behind the house, Chen Yanran asked Liu Jingxue why she came today, "You said you wanted my help, what is it?"
