Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Mistaken

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Song Chu smiled, sat down, and took a piece of peanut candy to eat.

There were also very few people taking the sleeper cars now. Pang Chun and her granddaughter were the only two in their compartment.

Pang Chun looked at Song Chu with a smile full of affection, “Xiao Song, I feel like we’ve known each other forever. I like you more and more.”

This was the first time she had met such a beautiful, well-mannered, and kind young girl.

“Aunt Pang, I also feel very close to you.” Song Chu could feel that the other party genuinely liked her.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Ying, who was sitting beside them, also joined in.

Soon, they revealed their identities to each other.

Pang Chun was returning home to visit her family with her granddaughter. Her son was a cadre in Guangdong Province, mainly responsible for foreign affairs.

Song Chu also revealed that she was the director of a pig farm.

As expected, Pang Chun praised her for her abilities.

She wanted to do something for Song Chu to repay her kindness, “You’re here to find cooked food processing technology. Don’t worry, I’ll ask my son to help you inquire about it.”

“Okay, this is our first time here, and we’re not familiar with anything. With your son’s help, we won’t have to wander around blindly.” Song Chu didn’t refuse.

She could tell that the old lady was determined to find an opportunity to repay her kindness.

To avoid making her worry, she agreed. Anyway, helping to find technology was not a difficult task.

The vacuum packaging machine was being built, but she did indeed plan to come and investigate if there were any other cooked food technologies she could learn and take back.

Pang Chun’s smile deepened when she heard Song Chu’s words, “Yes, otherwise, being unfamiliar with the place, you might get cheated.”

“Chu Chu, I can take you around.” Xu Ying felt that she got along well with Song Chu, and coupled with her previous gratitude, she wanted to befriend her.

Song Chu smiled and nodded, “Okay, then we’ll rely on you to show us around.”

When you’re away from home, having more friends means having more options.

The next day, the train finally arrived at the terminal station.

Pang Chun held Song Chu’s hand as they got off the train. Song Lao Si and the others helped them with their luggage.

As they exited the station, they saw a middle-aged man and a young man walking towards them.

“Mom, are you tired?” Xu Wei looked at Pang Chun and asked.

Pang Chun replied, “Not really, but I almost died.”

Xu Wei’s expression changed, “What happened? Mom, don’t scare me!”

“Yes, Grandma, what’s wrong?” Xu Ting, who was standing beside him, also asked with concern.

Pang Chun smiled and said, “I accidentally choked on a chicken bone while eating earlier. I almost couldn’t breathe. Fortunately, Xiao Song helped me get the bone out.”

Then she introduced them, “This is my savior, Song Chu.”

“This is my son, Xu Wei, and this is my grandson, Xu Ting.” She introduced them to Song Chu.

Neither Xu Wei nor Xu Ting expected such a thing to happen. After the initial shock, they were relieved that his mom/grandma was okay.

“Comrade Xiao Song, thank you so much for saving my mom.” Xu Wei said to Song Chu with gratitude.

Song Chu smiled and said, “Comrade Xu, you’re welcome. It was nothing.”

“Aunt Pang, now that you’ve met up with Comrade Xu, we’ll be going.” She said.

Pang Chun thought for a moment and said, “Weren’t you going to stay at a hotel? Let my grandson take you there. You’re unfamiliar with the place, so it’ll be hard to find.”

Xu Ting was also grateful to Song Chu for saving his grandmother, “Where do you want to stay? I’ll take you there.”

Song Chu wasn’t familiar with the current Guangdong Province, “Is there a hotel in the city center with good living conditions?”

Xu Ting was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting her to ask for a good one.

◈◈◈

He smiled and replied, “There’s a good one in the city center. I happen to know someone there and can get you a room. How about I take you there?”

That hotel wasn’t just for anyone. He could help repay his grandmother’s debt of gratitude.

Song Chu understood immediately, “Okay, thank you.”

Then, under Pang Chun’s reluctant gaze, she left with Xu Ting.

Xu Ting took Song Chu and the others to take a bus to the city center from outside the station. There was a direct bus route.

After getting off the bus, they walked for a while before reaching the hotel entrance.

This hotel looked much more upscale than the one they stayed at in Nan Province.

The lobby was at least twice as large. Tang Youhua and Tang Wei were a little nervous, constantly reminding themselves not to embarrass Song Chu, and followed closely behind them.

Song Ping and Song Lao Si, who had been taken out by Song Chu to see the world a few times, were much better.

As for Gu Yue, he was even more composed. He walked beside Song Chu, looking cool and aloof, occasionally chatting with Xu Ting.

As for the others, they couldn’t connect with Xu Ting at all.

It wasn’t that Xu Ting looked down on them, but they couldn’t keep up with the conversation and didn’t understand what he was saying.

Xu Ting knew the hotel manager. Song Chu took out the certificates from the village and the pig farm.

After checking the certificates, the receptionist took out a booklet and let her choose a room.

Tang Youhua and the others craned their necks to look, and were shocked by the prices listed.

The cheapest room was twelve yuan a night. That was too expensive.

Song Chu pointed to the mid-range rooms, “Three rooms of this type, for three days.”

Song Chu chose the fifteen yuan a night rooms. Originally, Tang Youhua and the others wanted to persuade them to stay in the twelve yuan rooms, but they were afraid of making her lose face in front of Xu Ting, so they held back.

After she finished speaking, Xu Ting directly took out money and prepared to pay for them.

Song Chu had saved his grandmother. He could afford to pay for a hundred yuan or so in room fees.

He had previously thought that Song Chu chose such a good room because she expected him to pay.

But just as he took out the money, Song Chu beat him to it, counting out the money and handing it over, “Please give me a receipt.”

Xu Ting was stunned for a moment, “Let me pay.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “Thank you, Comrade Xu, but no need.”

Seeing her refusal, Xu Ting didn’t insist. He suddenly felt that he had been mistaken earlier.

“Then let me treat you to dinner. Please don’t refuse this, or my grandmother will definitely scold me.” Xu Ting put the money back and said with a smile.

His grandmother might look like a kind and amiable old lady, but she was actually not easy to get close to. She rarely showed such affection to anyone.

This was the first time he had seen his grandmother show such affection to an outsider. Just now, she had repeatedly told him to take good care of Song Chu and the others.

Xu Ting certainly had to comply, and since Song Chu was young and beautiful, it was easier for him to develop a good impression of her.

Song Chu thought for a moment and said, “How about not today? Let us take a shower and rest first. How about tomorrow?”

Xu Ting thought they might be tired and nodded, “Alright, then tomorrow at noon. I’ll come here to find you.”

“Okay, then we won’t see you to your room. See you tomorrow at noon.” Song Chu nodded.

Xu Ting got Song Chu’s room phone number from the front desk before leaving the hotel.
