Chapter 37: Going South with Yu Hong

“I’m going south with Sister Hong to look at goods.”

Xia Keqing didn’t plan to hide it from her roommates.

She was planning to open a clothing studio.

Transmigrating to the 1980s, she couldn’t afford to miss out on making money.

He Xiaolan immediately widened her eyes, “Keqing! You’re amazing, you dare to go so far to buy goods?”

Xia Keqing asked back, “Why wouldn’t I? Opportunity favors the prepared.”

He Xiaolan was increasingly admiring her roommate.

She really dared to do things that she wouldn’t even think about doing.

“When is your ticket for?”

Xia Keqing looked at the ticket and told He Xiaolan a date. He Xiaolan calculated, it was a Sunday, she had two days off, but she had already told her parents that she was going home.

Her mom knew she was going home and said she would make her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.

Ugh! Compared to Keqing, He Xiaolan felt like she was a complete waste!

Since she couldn’t go, He Xiaolan thought, “Keqing, then can you buy a lot of beautiful clothes? Can you help me style a few outfits?”

Of course.

Xia Keqing was still in college, and she would be in school for several more years, so her target audience was mainly students. In other words, besides being her model, He Xiaolan was also her main customer.

Besides, Xia Keqing genuinely considered her roommates as good friends.

So she would definitely bring a few outfits for each of them, according to their individual characteristics.

The whole dormitory knew about Xia Keqing’s plan to go south to buy goods that night.

Li Fen and Zhao Juan weren’t surprised, but He Xiaolan seemed clueless. She said awkwardly, “Why aren’t you guys curious? Why is Keqing going south to buy goods?”

Zhao Juan was as taciturn as ever.

Li Fen had a daughter, although her daughter was still young, she looked at He Xiaolan like she was looking at her own daughter.

She said kindly, “Didn’t Keqing say she was going to open a clothing studio?”

“It’s said that the clothing industry is developing very well in the south. The stalls in Sister Hong’s shop that we often go to are basically all goods from the south.”

In this era, many industries were just starting to develop in various places.

But the south was developing faster, like electronics, the clothing industry, it was simply changing by the day.

Of course, it was just hearsay.

Li Fen felt that she not only had to study hard, but she also had to take care of her daughter whenever she had free time. She really couldn’t help.

But she also kept in mind what Xia Keqing said about opening a clothing studio.

So she specifically asked around.

But no one would be stupid enough to spread the word about such a money-making opportunity.

She hadn’t had time to tell Xia Keqing, but this girl was decisive, she directly bought a train ticket to the south and planned to go south to see for herself.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, you could achieve twice the results with half the effort.

It has to be said, Li Fen admired Xia Keqing very much.

If it weren’t for…

In short, she felt that she didn’t have such courage.

At this time, she looked at Xia Keqing differently.

This girl would definitely not be a small fish in a pond.

“So Keqing going there to take a look is definitely a wise choice.”

Zhao Juan also nodded when she heard this.

Xia Keqing was a little embarrassed by her roommates’ words.

He Xiaolan: …

It seemed like she was the only one who was a naive newbie in the whole dormitory.

…

Xia Keqing had made an appointment with Yu Hong to meet on the train.

The trains at this time were still green carriages. They were very crowded, and the smell inside wasn’t very pleasant.

But relatively speaking, with Yu Hong, an old hand, accompanying her, Xia Keqing saved a lot of trouble.

They successfully found their seats.

It has to be said, it was convenient to have someone you knew.

For example, Yu Hong only bought a standing ticket, but Xia Keqing bought a seat.

It took over fifteen hours to get from the provincial capital to Shenzhen by green carriage. If she had to stand the whole time, her legs would probably break.

After Xia Keqing found her seat, Yu Hong sat down in the empty seat next to her.

“Never mind, let’s sit down first. If someone comes later, I’ll let them have it.”

But as soon as she finished speaking, a haughty voice rang out, “Move aside, this is my seat.”

Yu Hong’s face was a little embarrassed, but she immediately stood up.

The one speaking was a stylishly dressed woman, her expression was also very arrogant. She looked at Xia Keqing, her gaze fell on her fair and delicate face, she paused slightly, her expression turned cold.

“You move aside too.”

Xia Keqing raised her eyes, “This is my seat.”

Yu Hong also quickly said, “This comrade, I was sitting in your seat because I thought you weren’t here yet. But my niece’s seat is hers, why should she move?”

The stylish woman snorted, “Just because you say it’s yours, it’s yours? Do you have any proof?”

Xia Keqing didn’t expect that she would encounter such a difficult person just by taking a green carriage?

Yu Hong had been doing business for many years, she always kept the peace to make money. She was so angry at the woman’s tone and attitude.

“Why are you talking like that? My niece has a ticket.”

She said to Xia Keqing, “Xiao Qing, show this comrade your ticket. We’re all traveling, how can you be like this?”

Xia Keqing showed the woman her ticket and immediately took it back.

The woman pouted, “What’s so great about that? We have tickets too, we just couldn’t get seats together for a while. Can’t we just swap with you?”

Xia Keqing almost laughed at this woman.

They were all traveling, it’s fine to help each other out.

But with this woman’s attitude, she didn’t want to swap.

She said coldly, “Sorry, this seat is mine, I paid for it, I don’t want to swap. How do I know if you really have tickets? What if I swap with you, and you have standing tickets, then I’ll have no seat?”

The woman instantly became furious, “You dare to look down on us!”

Although she was arrogant and domineering, she didn’t dare to fight Xia Keqing in public, so she looked at the man behind her, “Say something! Are you mute? You don’t know how to help me when I’m being bullied?”

Xia Keqing couldn’t help but shiver.

Ugh, this woman, she’s bossy towards them, but her voice is so soft and sweet when she speaks to the tall man behind her.

It’s unbearable.

Yu Hong couldn’t help but cringe, she finally looked at the man behind the woman who had been silent all this time.

She took a look and realized that the man was tall, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome young man, only slightly less handsome than Xiao Qing’s military officer partner.

Of course, the rude woman was also good-looking, it was just that her character was far inferior to Xiao Qing’s!

The man was much more polite than the woman.

“Alright, Xiaoxue, we’re all traveling, don’t make things difficult for them.”

“Sorry, it’s our Xiaoxue’s fault. I’ll just sit in my own seat.”

The woman called Xiaoxue was unwilling.

But her tone was much softer than it was to Yu Hong and Xia Keqing.

“Han Feng, what about dinner later? I have to find you.”

The young man called Han Feng immediately coaxed her, “I’ll come find you. I’ll buy it and bring it over, don’t make a fuss.”

The woman pouted and finally compromised.
