The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70
Chapter 39 Checking into the Guesthouse
Xin Yi walked all the way to the newsstand, "Grandpa, I'm here to pick up my things!"
When the old man saw the small leather suitcase in Xin Yi's hand, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "This little girl is really amazing, she managed to snatch the stuff back."
Xin Yi picked up her things and said, "Sir, I've taken that thief to the police station. The police might come to visit you later, so could you please be my witness?"
"no problem!"
Xin Yi checked the time; it was almost lunchtime. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two pens, a stack of paper, five envelopes, and stamps.
Everything is ready except for the final push. Once I can successfully submit my work and earn income, I won't have to hide the resources in my space when my spatial ability awakens.
At the state-run restaurant, Xin Yi ordered a braised pork and a bowl of noodles with gravy, and enjoyed a delicious meal.
As soon as Xin Yi stepped out of the state-run restaurant, she saw a jeep parked by the roadside. The figure in the passenger seat looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized she didn't know anyone who could ride in a jeep, so she went straight to the town's guesthouse without stopping.
"Brother Feng, we need to hurry, or there won't be any good food left!"
A young man got out of the driver's seat, looking hurried.
The passenger door slowly opened, and Feng Yi stepped out. "Xiao Meng, you're never this excited when we're on a mission, but you get all worked up about food. Why don't you go order some food first!"
Xiao Meng chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, it's been a long time since I've had a proper meal, and besides, someone's paying for it. Eating is the most important thing in the world, so I'll go order first!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the state-run restaurant.
As a soldier, Feng Yi required himself to be observant and attentive in all situations.
I just sensed someone watching me. It was brief, but I still managed to notice. I wonder if it will affect my mission.
Feng Yi was observing the people around him when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
"It's her? Impossible, this place is so far from Chongqing, it should just be someone who looks similar!"
After glancing at the others and finding nothing amiss, he decided to follow in Xiao Meng's direction.
Xin Yi made several inquiries before finally finding the guesthouse.
"Excuse me, could you please give me a room?"
There was a woman at the front desk, fast asleep.
"Hello, I need accommodation!"
The woman looked up impatiently. "Give me the letter of introduction!"
Xin Yi didn't want to offend anyone, so she immediately handed over the letter of introduction with a smile.
"Miss, I'm a former educated youth who came to the countryside. I need to take care of some things in town, which I can't finish in one day, so I'll stay here for the night. Thank you for your help!"
The woman glanced at Xin Yi, her expression softening slightly. Who could resist such a charming and adorable little sister?
"Hey girl, my name is Wu Jie, you can just call me Sister Wu. It's tough doing things alone in an unfamiliar place, I understand. Do you want a single room or a standard room?"
Xin Yi hadn't yet processed Wu Jie's change in attitude when Wu Jie continued, "I suggest you get a standard room. That way, people will assume you're not alone, which is a bit safer. But you still need to lock the door at night!"
Unsafe? I'd love for someone to come looking for trouble, but Xin Yi couldn't say those words out loud. Instead, she asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, Sister Wu, how much are single rooms and standard rooms respectively?"
"Single room is 1.5 yuan, standard room is 2 yuan!"
"Then I'll still prefer a single room!"
Wu Jie earnestly advised, "Xin Meizi, you can't risk your safety just to save five cents!"
Xin Yi looked surprised. "Isn't the guesthouse safe?"
Wu Jie didn't dare to answer that casually. "Of course it's safe. Isn't this just in case?"
"Hey, Sister Wu, when you're traveling, you should save money wherever you can. Could you please book me a single room?"
Wu Jie glanced at the small suitcase in Xin Yi's hand and wondered to herself, "She doesn't seem like someone who's short of money. Why would she do this just to save five cents? Oh well."
After a quick registration, Wu Jie handed the room key to Xin Yi. "Xin Yi, the room is 203. It's the second to last room on the right when you go upstairs. Don't worry, I'll have the security guards on patrol at night check your room more often!"
"Thank you, Sister Wu. I'll go up now!"
Xin Yi took the key, picked up her things, and headed upstairs.
Upon opening the door, a rather unpleasant odor wafted out.
Xin Yi quickly put down her things and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Actually, the rooms are quite clean. The main issue is that it's located in a small town, so there's hardly any foot traffic. The occupancy rate only gets decent during holidays.
After lifting the plastic film covering the bed, Xin Yi was relieved to find that the blankets, sheets, and pillows underneath were relatively clean.
I took off my shoes, lay on the bed for a while, but because I had something on my mind, I didn't linger. I took out the paper, pen, newspaper, and magazines I had bought and sat down at my desk to read.
If you want to submit an article, you must first understand the style of these newspapers and magazines in order to find the right fit.
Just as Xin Yi finished reading two magazines, she heard from the next room, I think it was room 201, that someone had moved in.
Shall we act tonight?
"No rush, let's go out and scout ahead first!"
As soon as two men's voices rang out, Xin Yi immediately became alert. Just as she was about to listen carefully, the next room suddenly fell silent again.
Actions? Could it be something bad? Why aren't you saying anything? I guess I'm overthinking it.
Xin Yi rubbed her temples, continuing to consider the magazine's style.
Everything in this era revolves around the red theme, so one cannot be unconventional. Since it is a magazine, it cannot be as conventional as articles in newspapers.
After some thought, Xin Yi finally began to write, producing a lengthy piece of about a thousand words. Her summary was: "Red represents China, green represents the Chinese people, and the people resolutely defend China; therefore, red and green is the most fashionable color combination right now..."
Xin Yi read the article repeatedly. In her previous life, she would have been ridiculed, but in this special era, it was quite suitable.
Suddenly remembering something, Xin Yi picked up a new sheet of paper and continued writing.
This time, I wrote a short story in English, roughly meaning: "This is China, a vast and resource-rich country where the people are hardworking and prosperous. Industry and agriculture are inseparable, and everyone is dedicated to the development of China... We firmly believe that China will soon stand at the pinnacle of the world's powers..."
As she wrote, Xin Yi murmured excitedly, "China will definitely become a powerful nation. Even if this world isn't the same as my previous life, I just hope that the crisis of my past life won't happen again..."
Xin Yi checked the grammar and vocabulary again, and after confirming that there were no errors, she folded the two pieces of paper, put them in the same envelope, and filled in the address clearly.
Having finished submitting her article to the magazine, Xin Yi stretched. She couldn't even remember the last time she had written an essay.
