Since it was the terminal, everyone slowed down and walked leisurely. They didn't see the soldiers until they exited the station. Xia Ran looked at the time and saw that it was 7 minutes to 2 o'clock. She planned to find a chair and sit until dawn.

Wang Yu said, "Sister Xia, this comrade said that if you spend some money, you can get a private room at the station and stay there until dawn. How about we go together?"

Wang Yu naturally hoped that Xia Ran would agree. It would be so safe with this girl around.

"Okay." Xia Ran knew that there were VIP lounges in the future, charging by the hour, but they were mostly used before boarding a bus.

In the end, everyone asked for two small rooms next to each other, with sofas in them.

Xia Ran walked around the house and looked around. She didn't find any problems at the moment. Plus, this was the train station's business, so everyone settled down with peace of mind.

There was one room for men and one for women. Xia Ran had slept all the way and was no longer sleepy after all this tossing and turning. She leaned on the sofa and studied the map of Shanghai in detail, which she had bought when she first came in.

This was Xia Ran's first time in Shanghai in his past and present life. His knowledge of Shanghai was limited to text and television. He knew nothing else and was like groping in the dark.

The beautiful woman looked at Xia Ran who was looking at the map seriously and asked: "Is this your first time here?" She couldn't say why, she was just very curious about the other person and couldn't help but want to explore.

It turns out that the other party can speak Mandarin. Xia Ran replied: "Yes."

The beautiful woman looked Xia Ran up and down and asked, "Are you visiting relatives or looking for a job?" and started chatting directly.

"It's like looking for a job."

"What do you know?"

"I can do nothing but have great strength."

I was surprised. This guy is really brave: "You come here without knowing anything? My name is Chen Jin, what's yours?"

Xia Ran said with a smile: "My name is Xia Ran, you are quite straightforward."

"What are your plans next? Have you decided where to go?"

"Let's find a place to live first and then look for other options. I plan to go to the Big World first."

Chen Jin raised an eyebrow. He came here so calmly without confirming anything. He couldn't help but sigh again that he was really carefree: "The cost of living here is quite high. What about the place to live? Don't you have any idea?"

"No, I have a day today, so I can look for a place to stay."

Chen Jin was silent for a long time before he said, "How about coming with me? Let's go to my place first. My place is very close to the Great World, so we can just walk there. Then you can find a place to live after that."

Now it was Xia Ran's turn to be surprised. The beautiful woman lying opposite her with her curves showing off didn't look like someone who was blindly kind and ignorant. Why would she invite a stranger home? So she asked curiously:

"Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you? We are strangers."

"I don't think you will. When you were asleep at night, I heard that guy named Wang Yu tell me what happened during your journey. So, I don't think you will."

Xia Ran nodded in understanding. "Okay, thank you. I'll go with you today. I'm not familiar with this area. But don't judge a person based on this. People are complex and fickle and can change at any time."

Chen Jin smiled coquettishly, took out a cigarette and a lighter and asked, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

Xia Ran waved her hand: "As you wish."

Chen Jin lit up the cigarette, took a deep puff, and then asked, "Will you let me lose?"

Xia Ran thought for a moment and then shook his head: "It depends on whether you are going to stab me in the back. As long as you don't hurt me or stab me, I will never let you lose."

After Xia Ran said this, Chen Jin didn't do anything. The older sister quietly shrank back into the sofa, trying her best to make herself invisible, for fear that Xia Ran would remember what she had done. Like a bullied young wife, she didn't dare to say a word.

Chen Jin took a look and understood. He had felt that there was something wrong between the two women before, and now it seemed that there was really something wrong.

Afterwards, the two chatted about all sorts of things, with Chen Jin basically talking while Xia Ran listened, and would occasionally respond with an "hmm".

Talk about which area is prosperous, which area is messy, which area has many thieves, which factory has good welfare benefits, which factory is almost unable to pay wages, where the vegetables are cheap, where the snacks are cheap and delicious, and which breakfast requires a long queue every time.

It seemed like they were just chatting casually, but Xia Ran knew that the other person was deliberately trying to spread knowledge to her. For some place names that she didn't know, she would look at the map and listen to what the other person said. While listening, she would look at the map and find the places with her eyes to help deepen her impression and memory.

After this chat, the unfamiliar city of Shanghai instantly took shape in Xia Ran's mind and became vivid.

Previously, I thought this was a cold gold-digging place, a place to help her make a fortune and realize the original capital accumulation. Now I think it may be a warm harbor, where she can stop and rest for a while even if she does not stay for a long time.

Then we talked about the Montagut polo shirts that everyone was scrambling for, with an average price of over 1000 yuan.

Xia Ran had seen this plot when she was watching a TV series. Even so, many people were scrambling to buy it. She thought the TV series was exaggerated.

I asked in surprise: "Is this thing really so expensive? What is the average wage of ordinary people here?"

"Well, the expensive ones are over 2000 yuan each, made of ice silk. Like Adidas shoes, Yili leather jackets, old man head leather shoes, none of them are cheap."

Chen Jin paused and thought for a moment before continuing: "The average wage is just over 100 yuan. For high-income people, 200.300 to 80.90 yuan a month is normal. For low-income people, it's only to yuan."

"That is to say, people spend half a year or even almost a year's salary just to buy a short-sleeved shirt. What's the point? Do they think wearing it can make them prettier or make them look better?" Xia Ran couldn't help but complain. Isn't this a complete waste of money?

But after complaining, she immediately became happy. It's good to be willing to spend money. Otherwise, who would she sell the wool carpet in her space to?

Chen Jin smiled: "Maybe it's to save face, or maybe it's because he has no place to spend his money."

You laughed again and again, Xia Ran said directly: "You should laugh less, your smile is too beautiful, most people can't resist it, I can't stand it even as a woman, it can easily lead to crime, remember to laugh less in the future, so as not to attract thieves."

Chen Jin was smiling before, but now she burst into laughter and asked, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"

She had discovered before that the other party loved to stare at her appearance with admiration in his eyes. He looked at her again and again without any jealousy. It was indeed true.
