Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 253: Maybe a Citizen of the World (Extra Update 2)

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Maybe a Citizen of the World (Extra Update 2)
Principal Wu spoke eloquently for several minutes, detailing every single step.
Reissuing the admission letter was indeed troublesome because there were so many steps. If any one step had a problem, it might lead to no reissue.
Lin Xiang finally held back and didn’t mention that she had already received a new admission letter.
She bowed deeply to Principal Wu, "Thank you, Principal Wu."
"This is what I should do. Speaking of which, it’s partly the school’s responsibility that your admission letter got lost. I hope the reissue process goes smoothly. First, go back to Li Hua Team to get a proof document, and I’ll take care of the subsequent procedures for you."
"Principal, I actually have a simpler way," Lin Xiang said, "I could ask the Township Party Secretary and Director Chen to help me issue a proof document, which would help skip quite a few steps."
Principal Wu suddenly realized, "Yes, the Township Party Secretary knows you, and Director Chen even considers you the lucky baby of the cotton spinning factory. With a few leaders to back you up, it’s definitely much simpler. So Lin, go get the proof document, and let me know if you need my cooperation at any point. I’ll be at your service."
Lin Xiang thanked Principal Wu again and left the office.
She had just walked to the stairway when she ran into Yu Xiumei.
Yu Xiumei was obviously there to find Lin Xiang. Upon seeing her, she walked over directly and straightforwardly asked, "Lin Xiang, how did it go with the admission letter issue?"
"Principal Wu said it can be reissued, it’s just that the procedures are quite tedious. I’m planning to go handle the procedures now and hope to get it done before heading back to Beijing."
"When are you returning to Beijing?"
"As soon as I finish the procedures, I’ll go back."
Yu Xiumei: "..."
She suspected Lin Xiang had figured something out and was keeping her guard up.
"Do you need any help from the teacher?"
"No need to trouble you, Teacher Yu. It was already a hassle to ask you to help collect the admission letter for me last time. Now that it’s lost, you must be feeling very guilty, right?"
Yu Xiumei: "...!"
Lin Xiang definitely knew!
She couldn’t hide the panic in her expression as her brain worked quickly to figure out how to respond, but Lin Xiang found an excuse and left directly.
Yu Xiumei stood there watching Lin Xiang’s back, her expression blank, lost in thought.
Ge Family.
In the evening, Lin Xiang, Chunya, and Ge Yuanyi sat in the courtyard. The three similarly-aged girls seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
Although Chunya was sitting in the middle, she felt that Lin Xiang and Ge Yuanyi were drifting farther and farther from her.
"You’re both heading to Beijing soon, leaving none behind. When I’m lonely, who will I chat with at home?"
Chunya’s tone was filled with endless melancholy.
Ge Yuanyi turned her head to look at her, "Have you thought about going to Beijing with us?"
"Come on!" Chunya said, "I’m already nineteen, been out of school for a few years. Going back to school now would be more painful than starving for three days and nights. School’s not for me."
"But going to Beijing doesn’t only mean college. Right, Lin Xiang?"
The topic turned to Lin Xiang, who slowly opened her eyes and said, "Beijing isn’t suitable for Chunya."
"Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt definitely wouldn’t consider moving to Beijing, and Chunya wouldn’t want to be too far from them."
That’s also why Lin Xiang never considered asking Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt to move to Beijing.
Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt aren’t the type of parents who prefer sons over daughters. They’re a little biased, but it’s because Dong Sheng is still a child, and Chunya has grown up.
And not because Chunya is a girl and Dong Sheng is a boy.
So, Chunya’s original family is very happy.
Especially after the marriage incident with Chen Chunshui, they became her strong support, allowing her to call off the engagement without worries.
Piece by piece, they made Chunya unwilling to be too far from her parents.
The outside world is indeed bustling, but its glamor can dazzle the eyes but not the heart.
Chunya’s ultimate place is still in Mianyang Town, or to be better, moving towards the city.
"Niuzi is right," Chunya said. "I might visit Beijing for a few days, but to live there by myself apart from my parents, I couldn’t handle it."
"By the way, when you graduate and get your job assignments, will you return, or stay in Beijing?"
Ge Yuanyi thought about it, "I should come back. My parents and brother are here, I can’t stay in Beijing alone."
She chose a university in Beijing partly to escape the past shadows. Although Beijing is unfamiliar to her, with Lin Xiang and Mrs. Lin there, it wouldn’t be so lonely.
Secondly, the Beijing Medical College is, in her mind, the best medical college.
"Give me five years to settle down, and those rumors and gossip that bother me now won’t have any effect on me later."
Unknowingly, Ge Yuanyi’s mentality began to change too.
Toward a better direction.
"Niuzi, what about you?" Chunya turned to look at Lin Xiang again.
Lin Xiang didn’t lie and said truthfully, "In the future, I might be a citizen of the world."
"Are you kidding me?"
Lin Xiang wasn’t joking.
Because she had chosen a foreign language major.
She wanted to be a diplomat.
And diplomats, although not exactly citizens of the world, do travel extensively.
Chunya thought Lin Xiang was joking and didn’t continue the topic.
"Both of you are making progress, even Dong Sheng has found something to do, but I feel like I haven’t achieved anything. Niuzi, what should I do?"
Having bought a storefront, the barbecue business could continue, but come autumn and winter, business wouldn’t be as booming as in the summer. Even if Chunya helped, it was limited.
She wanted to find something she could do, something only she could do at home.
Lin Xiang thought about the looks of envy from the three female classmates when she gave Yang Lihua the hair clips and flower accessories in the morning.
"How about making hair accessories to sell?"
"Making hair accessories?"
"You’ve been learning how to make clothes from Fifth Aunt since childhood. Last time you made me two hair accessories using leftover fabric from clothes. The stitching was very neat and looked great."
Chunya’s face fell, "But anyone who knows a little bit about sewing can make those hair accessories. There’s no technical content. To sell them, someone has to buy them first."
"Making hair accessories isn’t hard, but if we put some thought into the designs and create unique pieces, wouldn’t people buy them?"
The more Lin Xiang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, "Okay, let me first draw a few designs, and you can see if you can make them. If you can, I’ll go to the cotton spinning factory in the morning to ask Director Chen for scraps of different fabric patterns."
