Before boarding the plane the next day, Gu Linxi sent a text message to Cui Jiangjing about her departure from Capital City, then turned off her phone and took a nap.
Upon waking from her nap, she returned to the long-missed Lin City, and the plane landed steadily at Puxi Airport.
She collected her suitcase and exited the airport, hailing a cab straight to the hotel from the roadside.
After a brief rest at the hotel, she arrived at the agreed-upon location.
Jianda Real Estate Company was located just across the street from Gu Real Estate. Unlike the lavish architecture of Gu Real Estate, Jianda Real Estate was pitifully small, with only a single office building. There was not even a Starbucks beloved by white-collars downstairs—just a few sporadic fast-food styled beverage shops open. Occasionally, a person in a suit and tie would pass by to grab a coffee, looking worn out, with no trace of vitality on their face.
