Chapter 180 A Trip to the South City Black Market
Chapter 180 A Trip to the South City Black Market
She guessed right. Gu Changhong's trip was indeed related to Chen Ce and his wife.
But what was that look in Gu Changhong's eyes? Probing, doubtful... all kinds of emotions intertwined in his eyes. Could this kid be planning something bad?
But when she found herself squatting under the spread legs of a male waiter, she shrank back in extreme embarrassment.
Oh my God! She actually crawled under someone's crotch just to see him, a person she couldn't possibly have any contact with. She covered her burning face and stood up to walk back.
"Daddy, Mommy, wait for me!" A delicate and boneless voice came over, making her back numb.
Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but turn around again, change her position and look over again.
A modern girl got out of a car behind. She was wearing a beige windbreaker that would still look good in later generations. Her long black hair was curled into big waves, making her face look smaller. She had big eyes and a hawk nose, and she was wearing bright red lipstick.
She wore a little black dress under the trench coat and a pair of high-heeled shoes, which was very modern.
Zhou Ruoyu also thought she was pretty and had a Hepburn vibe. Although she dressed maturely, her face looked like she was in her early twenties.
Chen Ce's wife turned around, stretched out her arms and opened her hands, waiting for her daughter to hold her hand.
My daughter said coquettishly, "Mommy, how come Mr. Qin disappeared after leaving the airport? His handkerchief is still with me, I have to return it to him!"
"Alright, alright, I'll ask the receptionist to help you find him later. Stop making trouble, dear!"
Chen Ce's wife has a nice voice, just like the sister on the emotional hotline who helps people solve their problems. It is a pleasure to listen to.
Only after the family of three entered the Jinxing Hotel did the crowd of onlookers disperse.
"They look different from us ordinary people, especially the expert's wife. How can there be such an elegant woman in the world?"
"Aside from their brains, there's nothing else that's different about them. They all have two eyes and a mouth. Oh, stop envying them. Let's just live our own lives..."
Several waiters were talking at once, and Zhou Ruoyu followed them back to the guesthouse.
Mr. Lin was explaining the situation of Chen Ce's family to everyone: "This time they came back not only to help build the country's industry, but also to look for relatives. When they left, all the relatives were scattered. Fallen leaves return to their roots, and they all have attachments."
Director Zhang sighed. "At Expert Chen's age, it's likely his elders are no longer alive. The only ones we can look for are probably brothers and sisters. Besides, people these days are afraid of having overseas connections, so they don't dare to disclose them. It's going to be hard to find him."
"That's right!" Lin Sheng also sighed.
Zhou Ruoyu wasn't interested in any of this, and she didn't come to South City just to watch the fun. "How about Director Lin take us to visit the South City garment market today?"
Li Ming also suggested: "Yes, we have made a plan. We are going to visit all the markets in South City. Time is a bit tight."
Director Lin patted his forehead and laughed: "Look at my head, my attention has been diverted to this family. Come on, let's get down to business."
The state-owned garment factory where Lin Sheng works is a little-known factory in Nancheng. In his own words, the factory has long been in a half-dead state.
"I don't have the courage of Lao Zhang, who hired a capable person to revitalize the Luancheng Garment Factory. These days, money is what goes into your own pocket. Come on, I'll show you what money is all about."
Entering the door of an old factory building with the words "Nancheng Luggage Factory" written on it was like opening the door to a new world. Zhou Ruoyu watched the blatant black market transactions in front of her without blinking, and there were even people shouting loudly about the goods in their hands.
"Come here, miss, take a look at this dress. It's the favorite of Miss Yuanyuan, a famous star in Hong Kong. With your looks and figure, it would be a shame not to wear it!"
A small vendor in his twenties with greasy hair and powdered face stretched his neck and called out to Zhou Ruoyu.
Zhou Ruoyu has been in this era for several years, and this is the first time she is attracted by this prosperity that seems like that of the future.
My eyes were involuntarily drawn to the young man's shouting and fell on the dress he was showing in his hands.
It was a dress with great personality and charm, with a very advanced design concept, showing a unique and charming style.
The tailoring is exquisite and ingenious, perfectly outlining the graceful curves of women. In particular, the one-shoulder design can perfectly show off the charming clavicle line of women, exuding endless sexy charm.
The overall shape is simple and elegant yet fashionable, very much in line with the style of Hong Kong female stars of this era.
The sexy little black dress seems quite familiar. Oh yes, it seems to be the same style under Chen Ce’s daughter’s windbreaker this morning.
People still have to look forward. Coming to this world, like the women of this era, she got married and had children, but she did not expand her career to the fashion capital like Nancheng, and her vision became closed.
Fortunately, she came to Nancheng and raised her cognition to a new level. Not only can she do what the people of Nancheng can do, but she also wants to carry it forward.
Seeing Zhou Ruoyu taking the dress from the vendor and trying it on, Xiao Li blushed and pulled her aside: "He actually called you Miss. We can't stand such a bourgeois name."
She took another look at the skirt and tugged at her arm: "... that... her breasts are almost exposed. How can I wear this outside? Sister Xiaoyu, let's go."
"Please pack this skirt for me. I want it." Zhou Ruoyu smiled sweetly at the vendor.
The vendor's eyes sparkled: "Miss, you have excellent taste. This dress is all about sexiness. Why would a woman with such a beautiful face and figure have to hide herself in a dusty military uniform?"
He muttered to himself as he wrapped up the skirt and handed it to Zhou Ruoyu. "From the lady's accent, she doesn't sound like a local. It's rare that you have such good taste. Here, ten dollars."
"Can it be cheaper if I add cloth coupons?" Zhou Ruoyu used the bargaining method she knew in the Luancheng black market to communicate with the vendor.
"We don't accept cloth coupons, only cash."
"What?"
"Since you can find this place, you must know where we are.
Let me put it this way, food coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, etc. are no longer used in the black market of South City. Those things were originally distributed per person and were subject to restrictions.
Sooner or later, they will be eliminated. We don't want to accumulate a bunch of useless things. This thing is more economical!"
As he said this, he stretched out a few fingers and twisted them, making the gesture of counting money.
"I understand," Zhou Ruoyu smiled faintly and paid the money. "The skirt is very beautiful and worth the price."
The vendor, having received the money, had a fawning smile on his face, and his compliments kept pouring out like a barrage of bullets:
"Oh my, young lady, you are such a rare beauty!
Look at your graceful figure and your beautiful face, you are like a fairy descending to earth!
I dare say that even the big stars in Hong Kong would be ashamed of themselves if they saw you! With such outstanding qualities, such beauty and intelligence, it would be a waste of talent if you didn't become a star! "
Zhou Ruoyu turned a deaf ear to the vendor's flattery and continued to walk leisurely into the shop as if she didn't notice.
Li Ming, who had been standing behind her silently listening to her conversation with the vendor, couldn't help but frown and trotted to catch up with Zhou Ruoyu.
He ran up to her and said, "Isn't this dress a little too revealing? How could a girl from an ordinary family wear something like this to go out on a normal day?"
