Jiang Cheng didn’t explain anything to Director Yan.
After their phone call, the three of them walked back to the guesthouse.
That night, Jiang Cheng slept very well because she dreamed of Shen Que.
When she woke up in the morning, Jiang Cheng slowly thought: Actually, getting married isn’t so bad.
With a small creak, the door opening quietly made Jiang Cheng look toward it.
Tiptoeing, Director Lian came in carrying a washbasin, quickly closing the door and asking, "Awake?"
"Morning, Sister Lian."
Director Lian nodded with a smile, putting the basin on a nearby stool. "Warm water, just wash up here for a while; the water room is full of old men in tank tops."
"Great! Thank you, Sister Lian."
Jiang Cheng sweetly thanked her, and Director Lian, with a face of reluctance, said, "No need to be so polite with me."
"Sister Lian is right!"
Jiang Cheng quickly washed up and changed clothes, getting ready for breakfast.
But before she could eat, the receptionist downstairs came up, saying someone was looking for Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng instantly knew it was the person Shen Que arranged to deliver something.
She hurried downstairs.
Shen Que said he got a comrade to help....
Rushing to the entrance, Jiang Cheng saw an elderly lady with a cane, momentarily reminded of the first time Shen Que came to find her.
"Hello, are you looking for Jiang Cheng?"
The elderly lady with a cane, slightly hard of hearing, stepped closer, saying "Huh?"
Jiang Cheng pointed to herself and said loudly, "I am Jiang Cheng!"
The old lady smiled.
"So pretty! No wonder Shen kept saying you’re the most beautiful one!"
The hard-of-hearing old lady spoke very loudly.
Her voice reverberated around the guesthouse lobby.
Only Jiang Cheng could handle it; most people would want to crawl into a hole.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward to support the old lady, smiling sweetly and saying, "That’s right, I’m the prettiest!"
The old lady smiled even more, pointing to the bags on the ground. "Shen had me prepare this for you."
Jiang Cheng nodded in understanding.
After a not-so-private conversation, everyone knew the old lady’s grandson had accompanied her.
Jiang Cheng escorted the old lady outside, seeing her grandson standing straight outside.
After another round of thanks, the old lady’s grandson grinned with a big smile, saying, "No thanks needed, just invite me to the wedding banquet."
"Definitely!"
Jiang Cheng watched them leave.
She returned to the guesthouse, carrying her stuff upstairs.
At the same time, Director Lu also brought breakfast back, and the three of them ate together in the room.
As they ate, Director Lu and Director Lian started expressing their envy.
"Young love is something else; they even send stuff to Sea City."
Director Lu finished, and Director Lian agreed, "That’s what’s called... romantic!"
Director Lu gave an "oh" and looked at Jiang Cheng, saying:
"I don’t know about romance, but it’s definitely a bit extravagant."
The three of them couldn’t help but laugh.
After breakfast, Jiang Cheng didn’t hurry to leave.
Until a messenger from Director Mu arrived, saying Rose was on the plane, she was ready to go out.
The messenger quickly asked, "Director Mu wants to know when you’ll be visiting the Laine couple; she needs to make arrangements."
Jiang Cheng didn’t answer but asked, "What day is it today?"
The messenger looked puzzled for a moment but honestly replied, "Friday."
Jiang Cheng frowned.
Germans don’t like the number 13 and Fridays.
Although there’s no solid data to support it, why take the risk of bad luck when there’s another time available?
"I’ll go tomorrow at three in the afternoon."
The messenger noted the time and went back to report to Director Mu.

Jiang Cheng tossed her head with pride and walked briskly toward the train station’s employee lounge.
