"Ma’am, this is the place. You should get some rest. I’ll be going now, but if you need anything, just let me know."

Wang Xi wanted to chat a little longer with his group leader’s beautiful wife, but with the group leader away, he didn’t dare to linger in the man’s home. So after setting her things down, he said goodbye to Shen Nian.

"Okay, thank you for all your help! When Lu Cheng gets back, you should come over for dinner."

"Okay, thank you, ma’am."

Wang Xi was overjoyed. He’d heard that his group leader’s wife was an incredible cook, but he never expected to receive an invitation from her himself.

After watching Wang Xi leave with a jaunty spring in his step, Shen Nian smiled, shook her head, and opened the door to her new home, stepping inside.

The apartment was on the third floor, a good level. It had two bedrooms and one living room, making it much more spacious than her previous tiny dorm.

The furniture inside was simple—just the bare essentials like a bed, a cabinet, and a table. They would need to purchase all other daily necessities themselves.

Shen Nian took a quick tour of the apartment, making a mental list of everything she still needed. She would have to find Wang Xi in a little while and ask him to drive her into the city to buy it all.

But before that, she needed to call home and let her family know she’d arrived safely so they wouldn’t worry.

After closing the door and heading downstairs, Shen Nian found the telephone at the guardhouse of the family compound, just as Wang Xi had described.

It wasn’t far from her apartment. ’Making calls in the future will be quite convenient,’ she thought.

After calling both the Shen family and the Lu Family to put their minds at ease, Shen Nian found Wang Xi again and explained that she wanted to go into the city for a major shopping trip.

"Sorry to trouble you again."

They had just driven back from the city, and now, only a short while later, she was asking him to go back again.

But Shen Nian couldn’t help it. After all, she hadn’t known about the family apartment before arriving, so it would have been impossible for her to figure out what she needed to buy.

"You’re being too polite, ma’am. The group leader already told me that for the next few days, my only job is to help you. Never mind one trip to the city; even ten would be no problem."

"Alright then. In that case, I’ll try to get everything I need in one trip so we don’t have to make any more."

Having Wang Xi drive was certainly convenient. Plus, the car he brought was spacious enough to hold quite a lot of things.

An hour later, the car pulled up in front of a large supermarket on the west side of B City.

"Ma’am, they have a pretty wide selection here. You should be able to find everything you need."

"Okay, you can wait for me here. Or, feel free to walk around for a bit yourself."

"It’s fine, I’ll just wait for you here, ma’am. Once you’ve bought everything, just call me over to help carry it."

"Alright, then."

Shen Nian nodded and entered the supermarket.

Wang Xi was right; the selection here was very comprehensive. The supermarket was even larger than the ones owned by the He Family in the capital of H Province.

’This is B City, after all—the heart of the nation.’

Since Shen Nian had already made a list of what she needed, and since the store’s selection was so complete, it didn’t take her long to find everything she wanted.

Before she left, the Shen family, the Lu Family, and even the He Family had all scrambled to give her money. Lu Cheng himself had also given her a bankbook before he departed, telling her to use it freely.

As a result, Shen Nian wasn’t short on cash at all, so buying everything she needed was no problem.

After paying, Shen Nian looked at the pile of things before her. She was about to go downstairs and call Wang Xi over to help her move everything to the car, but when she moved her foot, she discovered that something seemed to be tangled around it.
