Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Another winter has come, and Lin An'an has been out of school for five years.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already the mid-to-late 1980s.

The development of this era has been rapid, with the economy growing at breakneck speed, technology advancing by leaps and bounds, and people's living standards greatly improved.

More and more people are leaving the countryside to participate in urban construction and industrial development.

Skyscrapers are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and modern transportation facilities are making the connections between cities closer.

The streets and alleys are filled with shops offering a wide variety of goods, making it seem like a completely different world from Haishi five years ago.

When Lin An'an first graduated from university, she worked as a translator at a local radio station for a period of time.

Due to her busy work schedule and frequent business trips, she simply couldn't adapt to this high-intensity, high-frequency work style.

After careful consideration, she finally decided to resign, ending her six-month career.

After that, Lin An'an looked for two more jobs related to her major in companies, but she never felt that they were quite suitable.

After more than a year of trial and error, I finally decided to stop working full-time.

Lin An'an has now picked up her old hobby of writing again.

When writing was no longer seen as a means of making a living, but returned to being a pure hobby, Lin An'an's creative inspiration reached its peak.

In this state, her creative passion was ignited to its fullest extent, and words flowed naturally from the tip of her pen, making her feel incredibly excited and thrilled.

In just a few years, Lin An'an has written and successfully published several novels.

Sales were neither high nor low, but for a new author, it was still a pretty good result.

Today, Lin An'an's life is full of joy and freedom.

She spends most of her time at home writing novels, and when she gets bored, she takes on some translation jobs to pass the time.

Sometimes, when she stayed at home for too long, Gu Qingsong couldn't stand it and would pack her up and take her away when he went on a business trip.

Lin An'an had gotten used to working part-time as Gu Qingsong's "little assistant" from time to time, helping him with chores and going out to play, which was quite interesting.

Of course, Gu Qingsong would never admit that he had selfish motives.

He genuinely couldn't stand it, not that he wanted his wife to accompany him on the business trip...

Meanwhile, Gu Qingsong's department store in Haishi has experienced several years of rapid development and has now become a large-scale department store.

This building not only witnessed the rapid rise of his career, but also demonstrated his business acumen and hard work.

The department store has everything; you can buy almost everything people need for daily life.

In addition to Gu Qingsong's own businesses, many local businesses from Shanghai have also moved into the building.

Because of the wide variety of goods and affordable prices, the residents of Haishi often come here to buy products.

Even if they don't have anything in particular they want to buy, they will still choose to come here in their spare time to browse around and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Especially on holidays or weekends, this place is bustling with people.

Even young people dating often choose department stores as their first choice for dates.

A young man takes his crush to a department store, buys some clothes on the second floor, and then has a meal and some pastries on the third floor.

If the girl already had feelings for him, then after a day's activities, the two of them would basically be able to get together.

Before the official wedding, we can go to the department store together to buy wedding supplies.

After a day of shopping, there's no need to look anywhere else; you can buy almost anything you need in the building, which is very convenient.

Gu Qingsong, taking advantage of a rare day off, took his wife out on a date while their two children were at school.

Lin An'an linked arms with Gu Qingsong, strolling around the department store like any other young couple.

Gu Qingsong's department store was different from the large shopping malls Lin An'an had visited in her later life. It lacked the luxury and high-end feel of those malls, but it was more lively and down-to-earth.

Lin An'an listened to the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and haggling all around her, and found it all very lively.

If Lin An'an hadn't known she couldn't sit still, she would have been itching to start her own business and open a shop in this building.

"Honey, is there anything you want to buy?"

Seeing that his wife had been browsing for a while without buying anything, Gu Qingsong asked her what was wrong.

He witnessed women's purchasing power firsthand during his work inspections.

Unless you're truly broke, no one can leave empty-handed after walking around the area.

Gu Qingsong had prepared plenty of cash before leaving home; a large stack of banknotes bulged in his pockets, all for Lin An'an to spend.

If his wife hadn't stopped him, Gu Qingsong would have originally wanted to bring a crocodile skin briefcase.

When he went out to discuss business, he saw that all the big bosses dressed like that, with briefcases tucked under their arms, paired with shirts, trousers, and shiny leather shoes. They looked incredibly stylish.

If you then style your hair with mousse and hold up a mobile phone, that would be incredibly stylish!

But his wife didn't seem to like his outfit, so he decided to forget about it.

Gu Qingsong regretfully comforted himself, thinking that it was for the best. His wife didn't like this kind of dressing, and she certainly wouldn't like those fashionable but clueless young men.

It's good, it's good...
