Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 796: Seven hundred ninety-four, shopping for the New Year.

With that thought, Zhang Qinghe became even more enthusiastic towards Lin Helian, smiling as he asked, "Comrade Xiao Lin, what do you think about being assigned to the sales point in Beitian District?"

"Great! Thank you, Director!" Lin Helian happily agreed, excitement filling her heart. Beitian District was the closest town to the Guard District. The Guard’s Wives usually went there to buy groceries, a mere ten-minute walk away. If she could work there, it would be incredibly convenient.

Zhang Qinghe smiled and waved his hand, "Then it’s settled; you’ll work there. Are you planning to start work before the New Year, or after?"

"After the New Year. It’s almost the New Year now, and there are things to take care of at home." Lin Helian said. She had already decided to spend a joyful New Year with her husband and son. It had been three years since they had last celebrated together.

"All right, the sales point will be closed until the sixth before resuming work. I’ll arrange everything for you. You can just show up there to report for duty." Zhang Qinghe smiled.

"Got it, thank you, Director! I’ll take my leave now." Lin Helian gratefully said. She finally had a job, which was really wonderful! Once she got her first month’s salary, she was sure to cook a big meal to thank Luo Shu.

"Let me see you out." Zhang Qinghe stood up and escorted Lin Helian out of the office. Upon seeing Luo Shu outside the door, he quickly approached her with a smile, "I’ve already arranged the work placement for Comrade Xiao Lin at the sales point in Beitian District. She can officially start work after the New Year, on the sixth."

"Good, thank you, Director Zhang. I’ll remember this favor," Luo Shu said with a smile. She certainly knew what Zhang Qinghe needed the most.

"No need to be polite! It’s all part of the job," Zhang Qinghe said with a hearty shake of his head. With Luo Shu’s words, that was enough for him. Now that he had made a good impression on Luo Shu, any potential promotions would certainly bring her to think of him first.

Luo Shu nodded in satisfaction, "We’ll be going then."

"I’ll see you out," Zhang Qinghe said, escorting Luo Shu and her companion away from the sales point before returning to the store when they had walked a significant distance.

"Director! Who were those two women just now?" a curious waiter asked.

"Leaders from above," Zhang Qinghe replied with a smile, stepping back into his office.

"Really? I didn’t realize those two women were leaders from above."

"If Director Zhang hadn’t said so, I would have thought they were his relatives."

"I thought the same. It goes to show, appearances can be deceiving."

"With Director Zhang treating them so warmly, if there’s a chance for a transfer, he’ll certainly be the first one considered," said a waiter as Zhang Qinghe emerged from his office.

"Exactly! Our Director Zhang is such a capable man. If I were a leader, I would promote him first," another commented.

Hearing the staff’s discussion, Zhang Qinghe’s face lit up with a smile as he hummed a tune and headed to the break room. Once Lin Helian joined the sales point, it seemed he needed to take extra care of her. Luo Shu would surely have a better impression of him if she found out.

Luo Shu and Lin Helian were unaware of Zhang Qinghe’s thoughts as they were strolling through the mall at that moment. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Luo Shu, do you think these shoes look good?" Lin Helian picked up a pair of cotton shoes from the rack and handed them to Luo Shu. It had been several years since she last bought shoes for Yhan Cheng. The pair he was wearing was patched beyond repair, and soon they would be celebrating the New Year. She wanted to buy a new pair of shoes for Yhan Cheng.

"They’re not bad," Luo Shu nodded. In her eyes, all the shoes now looked similar, and none stood out as particularly attractive.

Lin Helian turned to the nearby sales associate, "How much for these shoes?"

"Five yuan," the associate replied indifferently.

"Oh!" Lin Helian nodded slowly, carefully placing the shoes back on the rack. She only had about ten yuan on her, and she still needed to buy goods for the New Year. If she bought the shoes, there wouldn’t be enough left over; it was better to keep looking—perhaps she might find something cheaper elsewhere.

"Let’s look somewhere else," Lin Helian suggested, giving the rack another glance before turning to Luo Shu. If they couldn’t find cheaper shoes here, she would check the street stalls outside to see if they offered anything more affordable.

"Okay," Luo Shu agreed, following Lin Helian toward the area dedicated to selling New Year goods. Though the sales point also sold festive items, the variety wasn’t as extensive as in the mall. Most importantly, the sales point’s prices were no more favorable than those in the mall.

The area selling New Year goods was crowded, with every temporary stall jam-packed with people.

"Luo Shu, what do you want to buy? Let Xiao Jin and I help you with it. It’s too crowded here, and it wouldn’t be good to get bumped in your stomach," Lin Helian said with concern, looking at Luo Shu’s belly.

Luo Shu nodded and handed over some money to Lin Helian, "Then please buy me some black fungus, wild mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms." She had only come out to pass some time and didn’t need to shop as her space had everything.

Moreover, she and Hanmo were likely to return to Jinchen for the New Year, as well as the Divine Doctor Family. They had already agreed with everyone that if they couldn’t make it back, the rest would come here to celebrate with them.

"Sure!" Lin Helian took the money and squeezed her way into the crowd with Xiao Jin.

Luo Shu walked to an area with fewer people and waited for Lin Helian and Xiao Jin to finish their shopping.

In the not too distant place, a woman wearing a hat and mask was coldly watching Luo Shu. Since leaving the hospital, she had been waiting at the entrance of the Guard District for Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo to come out, and today, she had finally found her chance.

What pleased her even more was that Luo Shu was currently alone. It seemed as if the heavens themselves were helping her.

Slowly closing in on Luo Shu, she crept up behind her. With a sinister smile, she thrust her hands forward, pushing hard against Luo Shu’s back. Even if Luo Shu didn’t die from the fall, the baby in her belly would certainly not survive. She wanted Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo to suffer; after all, they had ruined her life.

"Luoluo, stop!" Mother Zhuo had been worried Zhuo Luoluo might do something reckless, so these past days, she had been secretly following her, keeping a close watch from not far away.

When she saw Zhuo Luoluo approaching the unsuspecting Luo Shu, she was frozen with horror! If Luo Shu were harmed, Lu Hanmo would never let the Zhuo Family off the hook. Even though the Zhuo Family had already cut ties with Luoluo, the Bai Family might also get dragged into the matter.

Snapping to her senses, Mother Zhuo hurried towards Zhuo Luoluo. She had to stop her; she couldn’t let her daughter do something foolish.

Accustomed to madness in her eyes, Zhuo Luoluo pushed with all her might towards Luo Shu’s back, "Die!"
