Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 82 Come to the door

Thanks to Fu Jiaming's matchmaking, the meeting with the new person in charge of the Sixth Factory went smoothly, and the order for the goods was agreed upon.

Although the quantity of the first shipment fell far short of the required amount, it was enough to temporarily satisfy the demand, and more could be added later when the inventory of blended fabrics caught up.

After everything was settled, Su Ning informed the Zhang family and Xiao Qiao and others in the Little Red Building. The next day, Su Ning and Fu Jiaming from Yanbei set off on their return journey.

Nothing unexpected happened during the five-day return journey, and the three of them arrived safely in Gushi.

Following Fu Jiaming's advice, after returning to the city, instead of rushing back to the factory to cancel his leave and go back to work, he asked Director Liang for three more days of leave so he could rest at home for a few days.

……

Although she hadn't lived in the South Gate Courtyard for long, she already felt a sense of belonging there.

Lying in a bamboo chair under the grapevine trellis, gazing at the vines on the wall and the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon, one can hardly relax.

Little Circle no longer has to stay alone in the Peach Blossom Spring Space; she can come out and play happily in front of her owner.

"Woof woof woof~"

"Ning Baogai!"

"Hehe~ I knew you were here when I heard Little Circle calling me."

Moving her hand away from her face, Su Ning smiled as she watched Luo Shuangshuang jog into the yard, her voice always preceding her arrival.

Today she was wearing a pink top and black bottom short-sleeved shirt and trousers, with two braids hanging down her back and a few strands of hair falling across her forehead and face as she ran.

Because of her teasing words and feigned fierceness, she tried to scare the little dog, but unexpectedly, the dog wasn't afraid and barked even more enthusiastically at her.

Luo Shuangshuang helplessly spread her hands, "Perhaps it's because I'm too charming?"

"Alright, little circle, no matter how much you like me, for the sake of your life, I won't bring you home!"

"Wang Wang!"

"Hey, what's with that expression? Ning Baogai hasn't seen the puppy for days, has it become a spirit?"

Seeing the little circle roll its eyes at her in a human-like manner, Luo Shuangshuang exclaimed in amazement.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are we not allowed to become spirits and forget things after the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

"Hehehe~ That's right."

I sat up and poured her a glass of cool boiled water. Knowing she didn't like brown sugar water, I didn't add any sugar.

She took the enamel mug and drank most of it without any hesitation, then burped. Luo Shuangshuang looked at her with bright eyes, her red lips curving into a smile that practically revealed her little secret.

"Heh~ It's on the table inside. It's all for you, go get it yourself."

"Hahaha~"

She winked at her mischievously, then excitedly put down her cup and dashed into the main room.

Several beautifully wrapped gifts were displayed on the pear wood coffee table.

A tube-shaped orange-red lipstick, and a sky-blue silk scarf embroidered with dark green Xiangfei bamboo.

A box of chocolates, a bottle of pink perfume, and a high-end women's watch with a similar style to the one she's wearing now.

Holding such a pile of gifts, Luo Shuangshuang couldn't help but happily spin around in circles.

The Luo family, now a wealthy family with three employees... oh, four employees, is also the only daughter in the family, so she has naturally seen these rare and good things before.

But it has a different meaning; this is a gift that her first truly close friend specially chose for her!
"Ning Baogai, waah~ I like you so much!"

"So happy?"

"Of course!"

With a grin, Luo Shuangshuang skipped out of the house and placed the gifts in her hand on the low table next to the recliner. As she spoke, she fondled each gift.

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

He slapped his forehead, and a blush immediately spread across his fair skin, showing just how hard he had unconsciously slapped it.

As if she felt no pain, Luo Shuangshuang leaned closer to her and said, "A couple of days ago, I had just finished watering the flowers and plants in your yard after get off work. When I was locking the door and heading home, I ran into a woman who was looking for you on the street."

"She looks about our age, and her accent is similar to yours. She said her name is He Yue and she's your best friend?"

What best friend? She even said she was Ning Baogai's best friend.

Your best friend has never heard Ning Baogai mention this before? Your best friend doesn't even know your exact address?

Pouting, Luo Shuangshuang, feeling instantly resentful, glanced at her with the eyes of a heartless woman, "But I didn't tell her where you live~"

The way she looked—almost like someone with a lot of hidden agendas, her eyes darting around—was exactly the same as her two-faced, sycophantic 'friends'.

"He Yue?"

Why would she come to Xiangnan Ancient City?

Could it be…? A hint of coldness crept into Su Ning’s eyes. She lowered her gaze, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest of the rocking chair.

Based on the estimated scores given to her at the time, He Yue was far from being able to continue her studies at university.

Given the He family's deep-seated patriarchal mindset, at most they would find her a job to increase her value and help her find a decent man to marry quickly, at which point they would demand double or even triple the return.

With such a large dowry and opportunities to exchange favors for He Yu, how could they possibly let her run so far away and escape their control?

How did she find her way here?

"From what she said, it seems she found the textile factory first, but I don't know how she got there. What? Are they really good friends?"

"Who hasn't been blind once or twice when they were young?"

"Pfft~"

Luo Shuangshuang laughed so hard she almost fell over, wiping her eyes. "Before I could even ask her anything, she proudly told me that she was here to study at Xiangnan University."

"With that level of intelligence, did he buy his spot somewhere?"

Su Ning paused slightly at the tip of her finger, looked at her, and nodded seriously, "Very likely."

Although Xiangnan University is not as famous as those two universities, it is still a well-known university in the country.

It's still far from the start of the school year and registration period, and Xiangnan University is in Xingcheng, not Gushi. What does He Yue want to do by coming here at this time?
Luo Shuangshuang picked up the palm-sized perfume bottle again and gently sniffed it. "Judging from her attitude, she probably won't give up easily until she finds you."

"Ning Baogai, how about I help you..."

Grasping her clenched fist, Su Ning chuckled and said, "That's it? Just tickling someone?"

"Hey, do you think I'm stupid? If I just spread the word, I won't have to do anything myself. Plenty of people will be willing to help."

"Good, good, good, as expected of you."

Of course!

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

There was no problem for the two of them to lie down on a large bamboo chair.

Luo Shuangshuang, undeterred by the heat, squeezed onto the chair and lay down next to her, the bamboo chair creaking and swaying.

"Speaking of which, Ning Baogai, why didn't you choose to go to university?"

"And what about you? Why don't you?"

She had glimpsed the future and knew that universities would soon be closed, and even she thought it was impossible to complete her medical studies in one or two years ahead of schedule.

Rather than wasting time and energy learning only half-baked skills, it's better to do it this way now.

"I'm really annoyed by those people. It's so much better now. I can start working early, earn my own money and spend it as I please. I don't have to make excuses for them anymore. It's so free and easy!"

Luo Shuangshuang leaned on her shoulder, watching her long, curled, and thick eyelashes tremble gently, and her hands felt a little itchy.

"Hey, Ning Baogai, let's not talk about them anymore. Come with me to my grandma's house tomorrow, okay?"

"Going to your grandma's house?"

"Yeah, you still have two days of vacation left, and I'm taking tomorrow off too. This awful weather is getting hotter and hotter. Going to the countryside would be fun and a great way to escape the heat and relax. What do you think?"

"Where..."

"dong dong dong~"

They stood up simultaneously, and Su Ning waved to the person who was about to open the door, "Xiyou, I'll go."

What's meant to happen will happen. Besides, even if it really is He Yue outside the door, why would she need to hide?

"I'm with you."

The two people and the dog arrived behind the gate, one after the other.

Hearing the knocking on the door again, she opened it without warning, nimbly turning to the side to avoid the person who nearly fell over.

"Hoo~"

Startled, He Yue nearly tripped and fell flat on her face. She pouted unhappily, "Ningning, what... what are you doing here?"

"Hi, Comrade He, we meet again. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Luo Shuangshuang, Ning Baogai's best friend."

She emphasized the words "best friend," and seeing the sudden change in the other person's expression, Luo Shuangshuang smiled even more brightly.

"Since you're also Ningning's friend, and we can be considered friends too, why didn't you tell me last time that Ningning lived here!"

Why should I tell you? Who else is your friend?

"you!"
