The girl with a ticket clung to the door frame of the sleeper compartment, overcoming her shyness to shout: "Okay!"
Jiang Cheng and the other two crossed their arms, looking like they had never seen such a "scene" before, watching the drama unfold.
Director Lu: Thankfully, he has a son. If it were a daughter, and his daughter behaved like this outside... hahaha.
Director Lian: What’s the point?
Jiang Cheng: Two women fighting over a scumbag.
The girl who shouted okay turned around and met six puzzled eyes.
She instinctively lowered her head, embarrassed, and said, "Sorry for the trouble I caused you."
After exchanging glances, Jiang Cheng, as the representative, said, "It’s okay, who hasn’t been irrational—scared a few times in their life."
"Haha, let’s tidy up a bit."
Jiang Cheng and the others began to tidy up.
The sack was stuffed under the berth, and the luggage was piled up, trying to organize a space where people could stay.
"Jiang Cheng, do you want the upper or lower berth?"
Jiang Cheng pointed to the upper berth and said, "I’ll stay here, I probably won’t stay in the compartment for long."
Director Lu was a bit confused.
"What are you planning to do?"
"To build rapport, of course."
Jiang Cheng answered as if it was perfectly natural.
With that, she casually opened a hand-carry bag and took out some fried peanuts and sunflower seeds.
"I’m going for a stroll."
After speaking, she left.
Director Lu looked twice, worried, and said, "Nothing’s going to happen, right?"
Next to him, Director Lian calmly said, "Nope, she’s carrying a vegetable knife."
Director Lu: "..."
Do these two things have any causal relationship??
After Jiang Cheng left, she visited every compartment.
Free peanuts and sunflower seeds may not be worth much in modern times, but in this era, they were definitely a powerful tool for breaking all communication barriers.
Jiang Cheng relied on her eloquence, chatting from one end of the soft sleeper carriage to the other.
Her chats were tailored to people’s tastes.
Talking recipes with cooks, talking progress with teachers.
When meeting someone who liked to preach, she’d seriously listen and respond at just the right moments, satisfying their needs.
Complimenting kids when with parents, telling fashion-lovers they look young, praising someone’s outfit as only suitable for them.
In short, after making her rounds, everyone in the compartment was extremely warm towards Jiang Cheng.
Initially, Director Lu was a bit worried in the compartment, but after hearing the laughter and chatter from other compartments, he felt immensely proud!
Jiang Cheng, the "proud specialty" of City S!
From the time the train started, four hours had passed, and Jiang Cheng hadn’t returned once.
Director Lu checked several times and finally saw Jiang Cheng coming back.
"Oh my gosh! I thought you weren’t coming back."
Jiang Cheng walked into the compartment and said, "They wouldn’t let me leave, insisted on inviting me to dinner at the dining car. It took a herculean effort to refuse."
"Blame me for being so charming!"
Director Lu listened habitually, his expression remaining natural after the tale.
"Done boasting?"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Done."
Director Lu was amused by this response.
Jiang Cheng never failed to refresh his understanding.
"Alright, then let’s go eat. You and Director Lian go first, and I’ll go afterwards."
"Okay!"
Jiang Cheng and Director Lian left together, and the girl from the upper berth came down as well, shyly saying, "I’m going to find Brother Qiang for dinner."
Jiang Cheng and Director Lian smiled politely, offering no opinion.
The girl, named Bai Lu, aside from her poor taste in Wang Qiang, was actually a very polite and well-mannered girl.
Jiang Cheng and Director Lian headed to the carriage, taking a good ten minutes to get there.
No choice, people kept talking to Jiang Cheng wherever she went.
Including the conductors in this compartment.
Director Lian secretly gave Jiang Cheng a thumbs-up: Awesome!
Jiang Cheng reflected on herself and said, "Still a bit off, haven’t connected with the head conductor."
Director Lian encouraged, "Don’t worry, it’s just the start. You’ll do it for sure!"
"I think so too!"
