Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

Newspaper office.

Her colleagues piled all the submissions they had accumulated over the holiday onto Lin Siyan's desk.

"No rush, take your time reviewing it. Oh, by the way, here's a private email of yours, don't confuse it with your submission."

Lin Siyan quickly took the private letter, but after only glancing at the envelope, she threw it aside.

Tang Guo happened to be passing by Lin Siyan's workstation, then took a step back, picked up the letter on the table, and asked with a smile, "Is it another love poem written to you by Officer Li from the Cultural Bureau?"

Lin Siyan was a little annoyed and asked Tang Guo, "How can someone be so shameless? I've clearly rejected him so many times."

Tang Guo did not give a direct reply, but watched as Lin Siyan suspiciously moved the submitted letters from left to right one by one.

I don't understand what she's doing.

With so many manuscripts, is it enough to just review the envelopes?

"Hey, would you mind taking a look at the love poems that Secretary Li wrote for you?"

"Do as you please, but don't go around telling everyone."

"I promise!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Guo tore a hole in the envelope.

After taking out the letter and reading it for less than two seconds, Tang Guo suddenly slumped onto Lin Siyan's desk and began to sob uncontrollably.

"Guoguo, what's wrong?" Lin Siyan was startled.

Tang Guo didn't speak, but held the letter between her fingers and handed it to Lin Siyan through her armpit.

Upon seeing this, Lin Siyan also collapsed onto her desk and began to sob.

The ink on the letter paper was still fresh:

Letter to Siyan, No. 23

Your eyes are like two grapes.

I want to take a bite

Your lips are like two slices of orange.

I want to nibble on it.

Ah! Siyan!

You are my fruit platter!

After laughing enough, Tang Guo squeezed the envelope again: "There's something else inside."

Upon taking it out, I found it was a movie ticket for 19:30 PM that evening—"All's Well That Ends Well," starring Chow Yun-fat and Sylvia Chang.

"Are you going?" Tang Guo asked Lin Siyan.

"I'm not going, you go," Lin Siyan said.

Tang Guo made a vomiting gesture and was about to leave when she saw Du Heng passing by in high spirits.

"Let's go eat!" Du Heng greeted Tang Guo and Lin Siyan.

Tang Guo rolled her eyes: "Are you a glutton? It's only this late and you're already out eating?"

Du Heng snapped his fingers: "Someone's treating me to a meal, I'm going to kill the thugs!"

"Tch, who would invite you to dinner!" Tang Guo said dismissively.

"Lu Zifeng, the one from Dong County."

Lin Siyan was just laughing at Tang Guo for calling Du Heng a good-for-nothing, but her smile vanished as soon as she heard Lu Zifeng's name.

Tang Guo glanced at Lin Siyan and asked Du Heng, "Isn't he inviting Siyan at all?"

Tang Guo didn't know much about Lu Zifeng and Lin Siyan.

At least, Lu Zifeng got to know Du Heng through Lin Siyan by submitting his work, and she knew that.

Du Heng was also taken aback, and explained, "Perhaps we don't have Siyan's contact information. How about Siyan comes along?"

"I'm not going." Lin Siyan turned around and mixed the envelopes that had just been separated into two groups together.

Seeing her like this, Tang Guo guessed the reason why she had just divided the envelopes.

"If she won't go, I will," Tang Guo said.

"How can you be so shameless? Nobody even knows you," Du Heng said with a look of disgust.

"Why don't you just introduce yourself?"

As they left the newspaper office, Tang Guo pressed Du Heng for details: "How much do you know about Siyan and that Lu Zifeng?"

Du Heng said, "You and Siyan are such good friends, you know everything I know."

"Tell me you don't know."

"Uh, it was probably when I went to Dong County that Siyan asked me to bring a book to Lu Zifeng."

"What book?"

"Sanmao's 'Stories of the Sahara'".

Tang Guo slapped her forehead: "It's over."

Du Heng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Tang Guo said, "This book mainly tells the love story of Jose and Sanmao, which they regard as the model of 'soulmates.' Now you know why I said Siyan is finished, right?"

Du Heng was still somewhat confused and asked, "Siyan has only met Lu Zifeng twice, is that really the case?"

Tang Guo sighed helplessly, "You don't know anything. For an artsy young woman like Siyan, it's more effective to fool her with poetry than with money."

"No... if you put it that way, then why did Officer Li from the Cultural Bureau write so many poems for Siyan..."

"Don't talk, let me laugh a little longer." Tang Guo couldn't straighten up, leaning on the sidewalk railing, when she thought of Officer Li's poem.

Suddenly, Tang Guo's expression changed: "You wait for me downstairs, I'm going up to get something."

Tang Guo was a well-known eccentric at the newspaper, and Du Heng couldn't keep up with her train of thought for a while.

When he arrived at the restaurant where Lu Zifeng had arranged to meet him, he was still in a daze.

He didn't know what Tang Guo had gone back to get.

Lu Zifeng brought Gu Quan with him this time when he went to the city, mainly because he wanted to buy a batch of clothing from the wholesale market and sell it in Dongxian County.

The biggest difference between clothing and daily necessities is that, due to the continuous upgrading of styles, big cities not only lead the trend in county towns, but also have a huge premium.

From fruit baskets to New Year's gift boxes, he has always followed the high-premium route.

He has over ten thousand yuan in his hands now. In this day and age, it sounds quite frightening to save over ten thousand yuan in less than a month, but when it comes to actually doing something, it seems like a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, we still need to explore the quick and easy shortcuts.

Now that we're in the main city, we should try to maintain our relationship with reporter Du Heng.

But with his mind preoccupied with making money, he momentarily forgot about Lin Siyan.

Du Heng led Tang Guo into the restaurant, then looked at Lu Zifeng somewhat awkwardly: "Should I introduce you...?"

"No need, I can do it myself." Tang Guo generously extended her hand: "Hello, Tang Guo, the Tang from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing."

"Hello, Lu Zifeng."

Tang Guo then reached out to Gu Quan.

Quan Ge, who was a powerful figure in Dong County, was momentarily flustered.

After all, city girls are beautiful, stylish, and well-dressed, like celebrities straight out of a video arcade.

He wiped his hands on his trouser leg, then carefully touched Tang Guo's fingertips: "Hello, Gu Quan, the Gu who takes care of the head but not the tail."

What a goofball!

Out of politeness, Tang Guo did not laugh out loud.

After exchanging pleasantries, Du Heng asked Lu Zifeng about his purpose in coming to the city.

Lu Zifeng didn't hide anything, saying, "I plan to go to the wholesale market to buy some clothes to resell."

"Great, Boss Lu!"

"Not at all, your colleagues at the newspaper have more stable jobs and better benefits, unlike us, who can only earn a meager living."

Tang Guo slammed her chopsticks on the table: "Comrade Lu Zifeng, I don't like hearing you talk like that. Whether it's working for a newspaper or doing business, isn't it all about serving the people?"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Zifeng's response, she added, "You know what I mean, right?"

Originally, Lu Zifeng understood.

But Lu Zifeng was a little confused when she added that sentence so abruptly.

"Do I understand, or do I not understand?" Lu Zifeng was a little confused.

Gu Quan, who had already finished a bowl of rice, reached out to the owner and said, "Another bowl, please!"

Tang Guo glanced at Gu Quan, took a movie ticket out of her bag and handed it to Lu Zifeng: "7:30 tonight, Shancheng Cinema, row 4, seat 19. Siyan asked me to give this to you. Now you understand?"

Lu Zifeng: "..."
