Chapter 1442 Xiaomei Arrives in the Capital
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her grandmother in front of her with wrinkles on her face and sharp eyes. Her eyes turned slightly red and she almost shed tears.
Grandma curled her lips, with a look of disdain and disgust, and said, "Look at you, you are so useless. Are you bribed by my small favor? Humph, I used Fu Yanchen's card anyway, so don't be so moved."
Xu Xiaoxiao felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She opened her mouth but only uttered a few words: "This old lady..."
She shook her head, feeling helpless but also grateful. Although her grandmother was harsh in words, she still loved her in her heart.
As night fell, Fu Yanchen returned under the moonlight. He looked tired, but his eyes were determined.
He knew Xu Xiaoxiao's determination and knew that she would never give up the child easily.
He went upstairs, walking lightly, thinking that Xu Xiaoxiao was already asleep.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't sleep. She was lying in bed reading a book. He had a faint smile on his face and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I've thought about it. You can just rest here peacefully. You don't have to think about anything or do anything."
"I have carefully considered your coffee shop. Sister Na and her friends can do most of the work, but there is no one to make coffee and red wine. As for the problem of the mixer, I will send an experienced person to help. I have plenty of them in my restaurant."
This way you can rest assured. As for other things, you don’t have to worry at all. I think Sister Na can handle it well. "
"On the last day of every month, I will ask Sister Na to send you an extremely detailed account report. This report is like an accurate navigator, which allows you to clearly know every income and expenditure, every cost and every profit point of the store."
"Through this report, you can gain an in-depth understanding of the store's operating conditions. It's like being in a transparent business world where all financial information is clearly visible."
Fu Yanchen's words made Xu Xiaoxiao feel warm in her heart. She nodded and agreed.
As expected, the next day Fu Yanchen dispatched his pharmacists to Xu Xiaoxiao's coffee shop.
When the coffee master appeared at the door of the coffee shop, Sister Na and Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
They originally thought that Xu Xiaoxiao was just leaving for a while, but they didn't expect someone to take over her job so soon.
Sister Na and Xiaomei looked at each other, and they could see a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
However, they were also very smart and quickly realized that there must be a reason behind this, that Xu Xiaoxiao had gone back to take care of her pregnancy.
Xiaomei stood at the door of the coffee shop, looking into the distance, thinking secretly in her heart.
She suddenly had an idea, so she took out her cell phone and called Xu Xiaoxiao.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a few minutes, and finally agreed to Xiaomei's proposal.
In fact, when Xu Xiaoxiao had just left, Xiaomei had planned to go to the imperial capital with Xu Xiaoxiao, but at that time, Xu Xiaoxiao herself had not decided what to do.
Now Xu Xiaoxiao has decided to stay in the coffee shop, and she feels that she can also try her luck.
Now that someone has taken over the coffee shop, she naturally has no worries.
She quickly packed some necessary clothes and daily necessities into her backpack, zipped it up, and put it on her shoulder.
Everything seemed so simple and straightforward, as if she had long been accustomed to this lifestyle.
After packing her bags, she left home without hesitation and embarked on her journey to the imperial capital.
In order to reach her destination more economically, she decided to take the high-speed rail after careful consideration.
Although the high-speed rail journey is relatively long, it is a more affordable option for her.
She knew in her heart that the journey would be long and tiring, but she had no complaints at all.
On the contrary, she was full of anticipation for the unknown that was to come.
She believes that in this city full of opportunities and challenges, she will be able to find a place of her own.
Sitting by the car window, she looked at the passing scenery outside the window, her heart full of anticipation but also a bit of reluctance. She knew that this departure would be a new beginning.
Xiaomei dragged her suitcase and walked out of the Imperial Capital High-Speed Railway Station, looking at the tall buildings.
Her heart was full of anticipation and excitement. She took a deep breath and dialed Xu Xiaoxiao's number, but there was a soft beeping sound from the other end of the phone. Obviously, Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer the call.
Xiaomei...if Xu Xiaoxiao doesn’t come to pick her up, she...is unfamiliar with the place, what should she do?
At this moment, the phone was suddenly picked up, and a gentle and familiar voice came: "Hello, is this Xiaomei? This is Nan Weiwei."
Xiaomei was stunned, and then a warm feeling surged in her heart. It was Nan Weiwei.
"Weiwei, where is Xiaoxiao?" Xiaomei asked.
Nan Weiwei explained softly on the other end of the phone: "Xiaoxiao is in a special situation now. Fu Yanchen basically doesn't let her go out. She just fell asleep, so I answered the phone for her. Do you... have something to talk to her about?"
"Weiwei, I'm at the high-speed rail station and I don't know the way. Can you... come pick me up?"
Nan Weiwei looked at the time. There was still an hour before work started. If she hurried over, she should be able to make it in time.
"Have you arrived yet? Wait, I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station now."
"Thank you." Xiaomei responded quickly, feeling extremely grateful to Nan Weiwei.
Soon, Nan Weiwei appeared at the exit of the high-speed railway station.
She wore a simple white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, looking fresh and refined.
Xiaomei saw her at a glance, her heart bursting with excitement, she walked up quickly and hugged Nan Weiwei tightly.
"Weiwei, thank you for picking me up." Xiaomei said gratefully.
Nan Weiwei patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to me? We are all friends, and it is only natural for us to help each other.
On the way, Nan turned his head slightly to look at Xiaomei, with a bit of concern in his tone: "Xiaomei, what are your plans next?"
Xiaomei slowly lowered her head, as if she was deep in thought about something, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes a little confused, as if she was thinking about the direction of her life.
After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly raised her head and looked ahead with a firm gaze.
"Weiwei, I have to find a job first," Xiaomei said. Although her voice was not loud, it revealed a kind of determination. "Now the most urgent thing is to rent a house and settle down here first."
"Yeah," Nan nodded slightly.
"Weiwei, I'm new here and I'm still unfamiliar with this bustling imperial city. If it's convenient for you, could you do me a small favor?"
"You say." Nan Weiwei said.
"You should have a lot of connections in the capital. Can you help me find a job? I don't have too many requirements for the job. I just want a job that allows me to support myself."
"As for where to live, you don't have to be too particular. After all, I know that rent is quite expensive in a big city like the imperial capital."
Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for Xiaomei.
In this strange city, Xiaomei did not choose to escape, but faced the challenges bravely, wanting to survive through her own efforts.
She patted Xiaomei's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaomei, since you have come to the capital, you are my friend. I will help you find a job and a house. You will always find a suitable one."
"Now I'll take you to get a room and have some rest. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."
"How about, let's go see Xiaoxiao first." Xiaomei said.
Nan Weiwei looked at the time and realized that it was too late. However, Xiaomei had just arrived and she couldn't refuse. She told Nan Yifeng about the situation. Nan Yifeng asked her to accompany Xiaomei and he would take care of the company's affairs.
Nan Weiwei replied with a "I love you" and a muah expression and agreed to take Xiaomei to see Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xiaomei felt grateful. It was her greatest luck to have a friend like Nan Weiwei by her side in this strange city.
The two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Xu Xiaoxiao's residence.
When Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei stepped into the door of Fu's house, Xu Xiaoxiao had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a bowl of soup carefully prepared by Hou's mother, drinking it in small sips, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Xiaomei saw Xu Xiaoxiao at a glance, and she was delighted and walked up to her quickly: "Xiaoxiao, you're awake."
Xu Xiaoxiao raised her head and saw that it was Xiaomei. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Xiaomei, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I just arrived. When I called you, it was Weiwei who answered the phone."
Xiaomei replied with a smile, her eyes moving between Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei, feeling the rare warmth of friendship.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Nan Weiwei and said with a smile, "No wonder I couldn't see Weiwei when I woke up. After all this time, it turned out to be to pick up Xiaomei. Weiwei, you are so stupid. Why didn't you tell me?"
Nan blinked slightly and smiled, "You're asleep, and I knew Fu Yanchen would never let you go out, so I volunteered to pick up Xiaomei. How about it, my decision was right, wasn't it?"
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's right, I know you're the best."
Several people sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting about recent trivial matters. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The topic unknowingly turned to Xiaomei's accommodation problem. Xiaomei frowned and said worriedly: "I don't want to rent a house that is too expensive. The rent in the capital is really too expensive."
Nan Weiwei thought for a moment after hearing this, and then she suggested, "Xiaomei, Nan Yifeng and I have a vacant house. Why don't you move in first and then slowly look for a suitable house. That way, you don't have to rush to rent an expensive house, and you can save some money."
When Xiaomei heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she hesitated: "This... this is not good, right? How can I trouble you?"
Nan smiled, patted the back of Xiaomei's hand, and comforted her: "What's wrong with that? The house is empty anyway, and you can help us look after the house if you move in. As for work, we have a project these days and are a bit busy. After this project is finished, I will take you to the talent market. If it doesn't work, let Fu Yanchen or Nan Yifeng arrange one for you. Don't worry, we are here."
Xu Xiaoxiao also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Xiaomei, don't be polite. Weiwei and Nan Yifeng are both good people, they won't mind. Besides, you can feel more at ease with them supporting you behind your back."
Xiaomei felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to what the two said.
She knew that having such a group of friends around her in this strange city was her greatest luck.
She looked at Nan Weiwei and Xu Xiaoxiao gratefully and nodded: "Then...then I will live there first and move in when I find a suitable house. Thank you, thank you so much."
"As for work...I'll go out and see if there's anything suitable these days."
Xiaomei said firmly that she didn't want to trouble Nan Weiwei and Xu Xiaoxiao any more. They had helped her enough. She was full of gratitude and secretly determined to become independent as soon as possible.
The next day, Xiaomei got up at daybreak, packed up her things, and set out to the streets of Zhengdidu in search of a job. Xiaomei walked almost every corner of the city.
She went into shop after shop, asking if there was any job suitable for her.
However, the reality was not as good as she imagined.
Either she was rejected because of her low academic qualifications, or she was not qualified because she lacked relevant experience and skills.
Xiaomei's feet were sore from walking, and a sense of frustration gradually welled up in her heart.
She began to doubt herself, wondering if she was really so useless that she couldn't even find a job.
However, she quickly shook her head again and reaffirmed her belief.
She believed that as long as she didn't give up, she would find a job that suits her one day.
The afternoon sun was hot and bright. Xiaomei was exhausted from walking and felt as if she had been sunburned.
She looked up and saw a cold drink shop not far away. She was delighted and walked in quickly.
The cool air in the store hit her face, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiaomei walked to the counter, ordered a glass of cool lemonade, and then found a seat by the window.
She sipped the lemon water gently, feeling the coolness from the inside out, and her tired body and mind were gradually relieved.
Just then, someone suddenly patted her on the back.
Xiaomei was startled and turned around quickly. She saw a familiar face and blurted out, "It's you!"
The person who greeted her was Lu Feng, "Xiao Mei, what a coincidence to meet you here. Why are you here alone?"
Xiaomei smiled and briefly talked about her job search in the capital.
Lu Feng then encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged, Xiaomei. It's not easy to find a job, but as long as you stick to it, there will always be opportunities. I've spent quite a while in the capital, so I have some connections. How about I go back and help you find a suitable job?"
Xiaomei was filled with gratitude when she heard this. She nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you so much. If you find a suitable job, please let me know."
"OK." Lu Feng made a gesture and left as he had something to do.
Xiaomei....
