1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 255 Selling the Pharmacy and Going to South City

The office opened by Gu Hansong in Nancheng was not in the provincial capital, but in a second-tier city near the coast.

In order to take care of my family, it is definitely appropriate to buy a house here.

There were no commercial housing in that era, and the house Gu Hansong bought was the kind with a small courtyard in the urban village. He had not yet registered his household registration here, so the house was registered under the company's name.

When the group came from the train station, Shen Chengyuan took a special detour and took Meng Shulan to see where they worked. Of course, he didn't go in, but just stopped on the side of the road for a while and pointed her in the direction.

It can be seen that Shen Chengyuan is very satisfied with his current work status. He is much more confident and calm than before. Wearing a brand new shirt and trousers, he is no longer the rural boy.

Gu Hansong's workplace is not far from his home, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there by bike.

The car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Jiang Jun came out to greet them with an old woman in her forties or fifties.

The woman was a servant specially hired here to do the laundry, cook, and take care of Gu Zhongyuan.

The courtyard is quite old, with a patio in the middle, divided into the main hall and wing rooms to the east and west.

Although some parts were rebuilt after liberation, the overall structure has not changed.

Such a courtyard is quite suitable for a family to live in. Meng Shulan worked in a cultural center in her previous life and she likes these buildings that still retain a nostalgic atmosphere.

The yard has been cleaned in advance, the beds and cabinets have been bought, and daily necessities have been prepared. We can move in as long as we put our things in.

"Miss, your room is this way. Come, I'll help you carry your things."

The woman's surname is Ruan, and everyone calls her Aunt Ruan. Judging from her accent, she is a local, but she speaks Mandarin quite well and has no problem communicating in daily life.

Meng Shulan coughed softly and said to the woman, "Aunt Ruan, my last name is Meng, and my name is Meng Shulan. You can just call me by my name, or Alan."

People here like to add the letter "A" in front of names. Meng Shulan doesn't care. Anything is fine. It's better than calling her Miss.

If this term were used a few years ago, it might have caused trouble.

However, the cultural heritage of each place is different, so maybe it’s okay for people here to call it that.

Aunt Ruan immediately shook her head when she heard this. "That won't do. You're clearly Miss, but you're asking me to call you Alan. It just sounds weird. Miss is Miss, and Master is Master. You can't call them that randomly."

Meng Shulan: “…”

Forget it, she doesn't spend much time here anyway.

Although Gu Hansong prepared a room for her here, Meng Shulan planned to live on campus after school started.

The university she enrolled in is in the provincial capital, more than an hour's drive from here.

At noon, because we were busy cleaning and tidying up, we didn't cook at home, so we went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

During the meal, Jiang Jun and Shen Chengyuan toasted Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong, offering belated blessings and congratulations on their engagement.

In the afternoon, Gu Hansong took Meng Shulan to the office and asked her to call home to report that she was safe.

The phone rang only twice before Meng Changli picked it up.

The two sisters chatted first, and then He Jinqiu and the Meng Fude couple took turns speaking.

Anyway, it's good that you're here. Be good at school and call the factory if you have any problems.

The three of them took turns talking for about twenty minutes and then hung up the phone.

Gu Hansong held the cup and asked her if she wanted tea or coffee.

Meng Shulan wanted tea, as she was not used to drinking coffee.

The two chatted casually for a while, and then Jiang Jun came over and called Gu Hansong, as if something happened.

Gu Hansong said, "Please sit for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

Gu Hansong went out, and Meng Shulan walked around his office.

This is a single-person office, usually used by Gu Hansong alone. There are not many things in it, it is simple, with only a few photos taken when they visited the park.

The photos were all framed and he kept them quite well.

Meng Shulan was admiring it when the phone on the desk rang.

Gu Hansong just went out, this call came at a bad time!

The company has three offices here, and usually there are about a dozen employees working there, but because it happened to be the weekend, they were all on vacation. Meng Shulan thought for a moment and went over to answer it.

"Hey."

Perhaps not expecting a female voice, the other party was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is that my sister-in-law?"

Meng Shulan was also stunned. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Are you Tan Hu?"

Tan Hu is Hu Zi.

Not to mention that Meng Shulan knew Hu Zi in her previous life, in this life, it was he who led the lion dance team at her graduation banquet. Meng Shulan was even more familiar with this man.

Hu Zi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me. Are you here?"

"Yeah, I arrived this morning."

The two chatted for a few minutes, and Hu Zi asked, "Where's Brother Han?"

"He's out. It's a holiday today and no one is in the office. What do you want to talk to him about?"

Hu Zi chuckled, "Yes, it's a little thing."

Meng Shulan: "Then leave me your phone number and I'll ask him to call you later."

Hu Zi: "Then don't bother. I'll call Brother Han later."

Hu Zi hung up right after he finished speaking.

Meng Shulan didn't think much about it and mentioned it to Gu Hansong when he came back.

"He said he'd find a chance to call you later. By the way, I saw you were pretty close to Hu Zi when you went back this time. Why didn't you bring him out?"

Meng Shulan was quite puzzled, as the company was supposed to be hiring people right now.

Gu Hansong: "It's almost time. Leave him there. I have something else to do."

Meng Shulan rarely asks about work matters.

The two of them quickly left the office and went to a nearby shopping mall to do some shopping.

Aunt Ruan prepared dinner for us. It consisted of four dishes and a soup, all of which were relatively light and typical of the local cuisine.

Meng Shulan felt pretty good. There were either elderly people or children at home, so a light diet was no problem. Besides, Aunt Ruan was a good cook, and the soup she made was very delicious.

After dinner, Jiang Jun and Shen Chengyuan came. The three of them had work to deal with, so they went to the office.

On the way, Jiang Jun said to Gu Hansong, "Hu Zi called again this afternoon. He sounded a little anxious. I asked him to go to Sister Chang Li's factory tonight and wait for your call."

Gu Hansong nodded, went to the office and made a phone call back.

Meng Changli answered the phone. When she heard that they were looking for Tan Hu, she quickly called him over.

"Brother Han?"

"Ah."

Hu Zi looked at the empty office and said softly, "The Ye family's pharmacy is ready to be sold."

"Oh?"

He had only been away for a few days when the Ye family actually wanted to sell the pharmacy.

"Han Ning's idea?"

"Yes. I asked someone to tell me that he was planning to go to South City."

Lower Nancheng...

Gu Hansong raised the corner of his mouth in a satisfied arc, and said lightly: "I understand. If he leaves, you can come over."

Hu Zi's voice was joyful, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Hansong chuckled softly.

A few steps away, Jiang Jun asked, "Brother Han, is there anything good?"

Gu Hansong shook his head. "It's not a good thing. I just feel it's a little magical, a little unbelievable..."
