Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Why Waste a Big Opportunity If You Don’t Make Use of It? (Bonus)

Sea City.

Getting off the train, Jiang Cheng found the tram station with the help of a kind-hearted elder sister.

The three of them took the tram to the guesthouse closest to the plastic factory.

Both rooms were on the third floor. Director Lu worriedly instructed Jiang Cheng and Director Lian, "Put a chair against the door at night."

"With so many people coming and going, it’s better to be careful."

Director Lian nodded in strong agreement, and naturally, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t say anything negative to dampen the mood.

The three of them separated and returned to their rooms to place their luggage.

The room was small, less than twenty square meters, with two single beds, a table, and two chairs.

The bathroom and hot water room were at the end of the corridor, shared by everyone.

Jiang Cheng and Director Lian organized their luggage, keeping important items with them.

After tidying up, the two of them opened the door and called for Director Lu.

The three agreed to take a stroll around the area to get familiar with it.

Walking out of the guesthouse, the three of them headed towards the crowded areas.

This was the moment when Jiang Cheng’s role became particularly prominent.

She naturally walked into a group of people chatting, speaking with the local dialect effortlessly.

Within minutes, laughter could be heard from the group.

From behind, you couldn’t tell that just a few minutes ago, Jiang Cheng was a stranger to them.

Director Lu and Director Lian stood a few meters away, afraid that getting too close might disrupt Jiang Cheng’s performance.

However, Director Lu skeptically asked, "She just blended in so naturally? No one suspects she’s a spy?"

Though equally puzzled, Director Lian fully supported her, saying, "We can’t do it, but Jiang Cheng can!"

Director Lu nodded vigorously, saying, "Indeed!"

After twenty minutes, Jiang Cheng returned with some unidentified small fruits.

"Director Lu, Sister Lian, take some, they’re quite sweet!"

Jiang Cheng offered the fruits in a friendly manner, and Director Lu and Sister Lian accepted them without hesitation, continuing on together.

"Jiang Cheng, when did you learn Sea City dialect?"

"There were quite a few Sea City people chatting on the train, listening to them I just picked it up. Is that difficult?"

Director Lu felt flustered: he didn’t even need to ask!

Sister Lian chuckled aside, curious, "You just went up and talked to them, and they didn’t doubt you?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

"I said I was from the street committee doing a population census, and the lady who guided us earlier is from the street committee, she mentioned she’s been busy preparing for the census."

Director Lian’s mouth opened wide in surprise.

"That... actually worked?"

Jiang Cheng nodded confidently, "Why wouldn’t it? When you’re out, you make up your own identity."

"The key is I haven’t harmed anyone’s interests or asked about anything too suspicious."

"But I wouldn’t recommend Sister Lian try it, you’re too honest and can’t tell lies."

Sister Lian nodded, accepting she couldn’t do it.

Even with prepared lines, she’d fail.

Feeling anxious!

The three continued walking, and next came Jiang Cheng’s time to shine.

Director Lu and Director Lian fully assumed the role of bodyguards, watching from afar as Jiang Cheng chatted all the way.

From elderly grandpas and grandmas to three-year-old kids, she didn’t miss a single person.

In over two hours, Jiang Cheng went from a population census taker to Sea City happiness index surveyor to housing allocation investigator...

Basically, she was whatever was needed at the moment.

The most amazing thing was that she could eloquently talk about every made-up profession on the spot, making people genuinely believe her in just a few words.

Director Lu and Director Lian went from being shocked to numb, then to see it as routine.

Daily operations, no need for surprise.

If it weren’t so late, with almost nobody left outside, Jiang Cheng could’ve kept chatting.

The three returned under moonlight, meeting the guesthouse aunt’s disapproving look.

Guesthouse aunt: Out so late, can’t be up to any good!
