Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The clothing store at Yuanxian Bus Station and the supermarket owned by the big boss in Gangcheng were completed one after the other.

Bai Zhenzhu and Guo Yongliang went to inspect the goods with the boss.

After the other party paid the balance, Guo Yongliang directly sent Bai Zhenzhu three thousand yuan.

Bai Zhenzhu calculated it herself; it should be over two thousand.

"Brother Guo, didn't we give you too much?"

"What's the big deal? Just take it if I give it to you."

Guo Yongliang, accompanied by his newly hired driver, ordered three dishes at a restaurant and invited Bai Zhenzhu to eat with them:

"By the way, little sister, your sister Minjing has found a shop for you in Rongcheng, it's quite big."

"The location is good, it's next to a square, and there's a lot of foot traffic there."

"So that shop isn't cheap."

Bai Zhenzhu's face lit up with joy:

“It’s okay, I trust Sister Minjing. Brother Guo, could you talk to Sister Minjing and ask her to help me make a decision? I’m afraid someone else will beat me to it.”

Finally, I can buy a shop again, and it's even in Chengdu.

Guo Yongliang was also amused by her enthusiasm for buying the shop:

"What's the rush? The house is right there, it's not going anywhere. You haven't even asked about the price."

"I estimate it will cost at least 50,000. Are you buying it or not?"

"Buy it!" Bai Zhenzhu said with a smile. "You and Minjing both said the location is good, so let's buy it."

Guo Yongliang is increasingly admiring her courage:

“Okay, I’ll call your sister when I get back and ask her to buy it for you first. Then you can go there and complete the transfer of ownership.”

Bai Zhenzhu diligently poured tea for Guo Yongliang:

"Brother Guo, then I'll have to trouble you and Sister Minjing."

"Please also keep an eye out for the courtyard houses."

"I remember, I remember," Guo Yongliang assured him repeatedly.

There are a few orders in Yuan County, and those people are still hesitating.

Guo Yongliang wasn't in a hurry. His office in Yuan County was almost finished, and he also had a lot to do at the furniture factory, which kept him busy.

Since the workers were free, Bai Zhenzhu asked them to set up a private room for her at the hot pot restaurant.

Guo Yongliang stopped interfering in this matter, essentially lending the man to Bai Zhenzhu, while Bai Zhenzhu was responsible for the materials and labor costs.

After a month of hard work, the private rooms at the hot pot restaurant were put into use.

Liu Fang found it unbelievable; the once dark room was now completely brightly lit.

Each private room has two tables, separated by a partition.

Bai Zhenzhu also renovated the bathroom, separating men's and women's areas, adding more toilet stalls, and installing faucets outside for handwashing.

The warehouse was converted into three separate employee dormitories, and the old beds were all moved in.

The hot pot restaurant started making a profit in March, but all the money earned was reinvested in the construction of the restaurant.

All the profits from the clothing store and other stores were transferred to Xia He's god-sister.

We ordered some spring clothes, but most of them are new summer styles, and they're all stocked up.

That day, Bai Zhenzhu was taking inventory at the clothing store when Xia He suddenly arrived.

In April, she wore a yellow long-sleeved dress underneath a trench coat, and she looked absolutely stunning.

He just didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"What's wrong?" Bai Zhenzhu closed the ledger. "Who made you angry?"

Xia He leaned against the counter:

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and you can bring Shuo Shuo along."

White Pearl was puzzled:

"Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"

Xia He rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.

"I miss my godson, is that not allowed?"

Bai Zhenzhu doesn't understand her?

"Tell me, what's bothering you like this? Didn't you come all this way just to talk to me?"

“…” Xia He sighed: “Someone introduced me to a potential partner.”

Bai Zhenzhu glanced at her:

"If you don't like it, just say no."

Then he realized:

Who introduced you to them?

Xia He: "Fang Xia".

Bai Zhenzhu's brows furrowed slightly:

"Sister Fang?"

Xia He put her hands behind her back and simply confessed everything:

"The person she introduced is her husband's youngest brother, who is 27 years old this year. He is a proper college graduate and just transferred to the No. 1 Middle School this year."

"And the high school teacher?" Bai Zhenzhu asked.

"The conditions are quite good."

Looking closely at Xia He's expression, it doesn't seem to be because the other party's conditions are bad or anything.

Xia He continued to sigh:

"The conditions are good, but the key is that this person was my classmate in junior high and high school. It's just that I didn't finish high school, while he got into a teacher's college."

"Moreover, Sister Fang also told me that the reason I was able to rent that shop was because Sister Fang put in a lot of effort."

Bai Zhenzhu's expression changed slightly:

"They used this to coerce you?"

Xia He quickly shook her head:

"No, Fang Jie also said that even if I don't agree to date Qin Ming, it won't affect my relationship with her."

Bai Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Fang Xia really liked Xia He.

She understood why Xia He was acting this way.

That's just how this person is; she can turn on her sister-in-law and slam her fist on the table.

However, Fang Xia was on good terms with her, so she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Bai Zhenzhu: "Is Qin Ming coming to your house tonight too?"

Xia He: "We're not going to my house, we're going to your hot pot restaurant. Qin Ming is treating."

Bai Zhenzhu looked at her suspiciously:

"It seems that someone isn't completely indifferent to Qin Ming after all."

Xia He was a little embarrassed to look at Bai Zhenzhu:

"Back when we were in school, they were really, really nice to me."

Anyway, she bullied him quite a bit back then, and she also ate a lot of Qin Ming's snacks.

After saying that, he stomped his foot:

"Are you going or not?"

"As my best friend, how can you not help me check things out?"

Bai Zhenzhu chuckled:

"Aren't you classmates? Do you need me to vet you?"

Xia He: "It's been a few years since I last saw you. Who knows if things have changed over the years?"

The last time they met was when she had just started dating Xu Qinglin, when Qin Ming was about to graduate from university.

She met Qin Ming by chance while shopping with Xu Qinglin, and she hasn't seen him since.

"And to be honest, I don't want to talk about these things right now, I just want to make money."

“If he’s not the person I remember, I’ll just refuse him outright, and you can go and support me.”

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Okay, then I'll take Shuo Shuo with me."

That evening, Bai Zhenzhu drove up and picked up Shuo Shuo, and they went to the department store together.

"Godmother, I'm here!"

Shuo Shuo charged towards Xia He like a cannonball.

Xia He picked him up in one swift motion and weighed him in her arms:

"Son, have you grown taller again? You seem much heavier than you were during the Chinese New Year."

White Pearl: "It's long and very heavy. You should put it down quickly."

Xia He looked at Bai Zhenzhu and suddenly said:

"I'm so envious of you."

White Pearl was puzzled:

"Why do you envy me?"

Xia He sighed:

"I have money and kids but no husband. This is the life I've always dreamed of."

"Oh, and she's beautiful."

Bai Zhenzhu couldn't stop laughing:

"Are you not feeling well right now?"

"If you really don't like it, then just reject it. Don't worry about it so much."

Xia He nodded:

"I understand, I won't wrong myself."

Bai Zhenzhu took Shuo Shuo to buy some snacks, and when it was almost time, she drove Xia He and Shuo Shuo to a hot pot restaurant.

Fang Xia and Qin Ming have already arrived and are in a private room inside.

Bai Zhenzhu pulled Shuo Shuo and followed Xia He inside. They saw Fang Xia and a man wearing a leather jacket sitting in the private room.

The man was wearing sunglasses on his chest.

Bai Zhenzhu remembered that Xia He said this Qin Ming was a teacher at No. 1 Middle School?
