Chapter 22: Arrive At Juncheng City
Assistant He was silent for a long time and asked, "Miss, do you really want to leave this country?"
Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "I changed my mind. I won't leave this country, but I don't want to live in this city anymore. I will move to Juncheng City."
Hearing this, Assistant He understood why she wanted to leave. He sighed, "That's good. You'd better stay away from your father and his family."
There are not many people in her life who care about her, but Assistant He is one of them.
Yao Ran thought for a while before saying, "Assistant He, I got a secret message from someone that a typhoon was coming."
The news of the approaching typhoon had been broadcast for several days, and Assistant He also knew about it. He looked at Yao Ran and said, "Miss, don't worry about me. You need to take care of yourself."
Looking at his sincere face, Yao Ran took a step closer to him and lowered her voice, "Assistant He, hurry up and stock up on supplies and find a higher place to live."
When Assistant He heard what she said, his expression sunk, and he asked, "Miss, do you know something confidential?"
Yao Ran nodded, "When the typhoon arrives, it may be accompanied by torrential rain and cause floods. You should also make preparations for extreme weather."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Assistant He nodded, "Thank you, Miss, for reminding me."
Yao Ran sold the company, and Assistant He was no longer her exclusive assistant. He looked at her with a hint of reluctance and a worried expression: "Miss, remember to call me when you need anything."
"Mhm. I know."
After a long silence, he finally said, "Then I will leave now. See you next time, Miss."
Yao Ran watched him get into his black sports car and waved to him. Assistant He took one last look at her and then drove away. After the black sports car disappeared from her sight, Yao Ran transferred 300 million to Assistant He.
After this separation, she didn't know if they would ever see each other again. However, she hopes the money she gives him will help him survive and lead a better life in the future.
Yao Ran clenched her hands and looked at the gloomy sky. With only a month left before the end of the world, the weather begins to change. In her previous life, the end of the world did not come without warning.
There are many signs, but humans fail to notice them. There will be a month of rain before the typhoon hits. The rain comes and goes, so people don't care. In addition, it is normal to rain in September.
Just as she was recalling about the past, the first rain of that year finally fell. When the rainwater fell on her cheek, Yao Ran came back to her senses. She looked away from the gloomy sky, called a car, and bought a plane ticket to Juncheng City.
The distance between Haicheng City and Juncheng City is quite far. It takes three hours to reach Juncheng City by plane. When Yao Ran came out of the arrival gate, she was already starving.
She looked at her phone and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Yao Ran rubbed her flat belly and thought, 'No wonder I felt so hungry. I haven't eaten in almost twenty hours.'
She sighed and called a car with an app. After waiting for another ten minutes, Yao Ran finally got into the car and said, "Sir, please go to the nearest restaurant."
The driver looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, is this your first time in Juncheng City?"
When Yao Ran heard the driver's question, her aura changed instantly. She was used to being cautious in her previous life, and once the driver raised a question, Yao Ran became alert.
The driver almost died of fright when he saw her suddenly opening her eyes.
Stared at by her cold eyes, he smiled awkwardly and explained, "Under normal circumstances, people will tell me the name of the restaurant. Only tourists will tell the driver to go to nearby places or take the lead in choosing a restaurant or hotel."
Yao Ran stared at the driver for a few seconds before retracting her murderous intent. Feeling the change in the air, the driver secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"This young lady looks innocent, but her eyes are terrifying.'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran didn't know that she had scared the driver with her gaze. She closed her eyes and said, "I see. Then I will trouble you to go to a recommended delicious restaurant."
The driver was frightened by her and said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Then, the driver stepped on the accelerator, almost breaking the maximum speed. In just fifteen minutes, he parked his car in front of a famous restaurant.
"Miss, we are here."
Yao Ran opened her eyes and said, "Thank you."
After she closed the door, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly disappeared from her sight. Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly but was too hungry to think about what had happened to the driver, so she walked into the restaurant.
A few minutes later, Yao Ran had ordered a bowl of beef noodles and searching something on her phone.
She remembered that in her previous life, she had heard that a place in Juncheng City was still in good condition after experiencing floods, extreme cold, extreme heat, and earthquakes. Because it is located in the new development area of Juncheng City, not many people buy apartments in that complex. When typhoons hit the country, only forty percent of apartments were rented out.
Yao Ran searched for a while before finding it. Her eyes lit up when she saw the promotional pictures and the familiar name.
"Ling Yuan apartment complex. This should be the place."
