In the next few days, Bai Chen had endless things to deal with every day, so Lin Yan walked around the city by himself.
On this day, she came to the place where Mei Ying and others were placed. In the north of the city, the courtyards are neat and uniform, and the streets are very clean.
Lin Yan quietly hid in the darkness and watched Mei Ying listen to the class carefully.
It is the morning class time. After lunch, the children who are over ten years old will go to work and do whatever they can to earn money to support themselves.
Nanhai Port City is built near the sea and is rich in resources. As long as you use your brain a little, you can support yourself.
In the past few days, Lin Yan has discovered that businessmen have a keen sense of smell. There are already dozens of shops in the city, buying all kinds of seafood.
There are various methods of acquisition, including exchanging money for goods. It all depends on personal choice.
She saw with her own eyes that a dozen children went to the store to exchange fish and shrimps picked up from the beach for snacks. At that moment, the expressions on their little faces were extremely satisfied, as if they had gained the world.
After careful questioning, it turned out that the children went to the beach together after school and relied on their own skills to get the snacks they wanted.
In fact, as long as you are not lazy, there are opportunities everywhere in this brand-new city, and you can get everything you want with diligence and hard work.
Lin Yan met Mei Ying during lunch.
At that moment, Mei Ying looked surprised. She never expected to see Lin Yan again so soon. She thought it would be difficult to meet again, perhaps many years later.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, are you surprised to see me?"
"Very unexpected, you, why are you here?" It's no wonder that Mei Ying was surprised, she already understood what Lin Yan's identity represented, and it was completely different from hers.
"Let's see how your resettlement is going. Are you getting used to it these days? Are you satisfied with your food and accommodation?"
Mei Ying nodded, "Everything is fine. Just like you said, I have my own house and a home, and my heart is completely at peace."
"It's so easy to be satisfied. Those are just the most basic. If someone bullies you, be sure to seek help from the Ministry of Public Security in time. Don't stupidly carry it on your own."
Mei Ying nodded heavily, "I know everything. On the first day, the teacher told us what to do when encountering various situations. We should not swallow our anger when being bullied. We must find someone to make the decision."
"It's good to know. I'm just afraid that you might not adapt to it for a while and don't know how to use the law to protect your rights and interests."
"No, I understand everything." What Mei Ying likes most is the various laws of the Sun Alliance, which are powerful tools to protect everyone.
When Cheng Mengxue came over, the two of them had already finished eating and were about to leave.
She looked at Lin Yan in disbelief, "It's really you. I thought I was dazzled."
Lin Yan was helpless, "Why do everyone look like this when they see me? I'm in Nanhai Port City. Isn't it normal to see me?"
"Hehe, what you are saying is that I reacted too much." Cheng Mengxue followed suit and decisively changed the subject, "I heard that City Lord Bai Chen grew up with you and is a great person. She was the one who picked you up that day?"
Facing two pairs of bright eyes, Lin Yan said: "...What do you want to say?"
Cheng Mengxue: "Everyone has been talking about City Lord Bai Chen these days and admires her very much. I am just curious to know what kind of person she is."
Mei Ying: "They all say that City Lord Bai Chen is very low-key and resolute, but few people have seen him."
"Oh, I understand, think about it, the Alliance attaches so much importance to Nanhai Port City, so Bai Chen must have something special about her to become the first city lord. As for her, you will know when you meet her."
Mei Ying was dumbfounded. It was either said or not.
Cheng Mengxue: "...We can't see the city lord."
"I'll definitely see you, don't worry." Lin Yan felt that after Bai Chen finished his work, he would personally check on their placement.
These immigrants are related to the development of Nanhai Port City. As the city lord, Bai Chen will definitely pay great attention to them.
Now that the first batch of people have just arrived, after giving them time to adapt, they still need to arrange their work and study. Even if the arrangements are made in advance, Bai Chen must check the specific implementation in person.
Cheng Mengxue and Mei Ying looked at each other and saw some kind of brilliance in each other's eyes.
Over the past few days, they inquired a lot. Nanhai Port City will be controlled by Bai Chen in the next few years. When they first arrived, what they feared most in their hearts was that this place was the same as Heping City.
The words of the Gu family in Pingcheng have harmed the people at the bottom.
They had confidence in Lin Yan, but they had no experience with Bai Chen, so they still had doubts.
Lin Yan's identity is destined not to stay here for a long time. What the future holds is in Bai Chen's hands. They want to know more about it.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the promise given to you by the alliance will not change because of anyone. You may not believe it when you first come here, but time will prove everything. I hope you can all become the pillars of the alliance in the future and work hard for a better alliance. Work hard."
After seeing Lin Yan off, Mei Ying whispered: "Do you think she can really be trusted?"
"I believe in Lin Yan." Cheng Mengxue became much firmer, "Bai Chen and she grew up together, they should be the same type of people. In the past few days of class, the management of the alliance is different from that of Pingcheng. We must learn from it and protect ourselves. "
Mei Ying: "I also believe in Lin Yan, but I'm just a little scared. Compared with Heping City, this place is really great, like a dream, so unreal. I never dared to think that one day I would have a home. This home is completely mine and no one can take it away.”
Cheng Mengxue felt the same way. Their tragic past made them feel the same pain. She took Mei Ying's hand and said seriously: "We have left Pingcheng. Forget about what happened there."
Walking on the street, he saw people coming and going in a shop. Lin Yan joined in the fun and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, her eyes widened as she saw something.
Colorful glassware holds fist-sized pearls, pink and white, which are very eye-catching.
After taking a closer look, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask the waiter, "Are these pearls fished from the sea? How are they sold?"
The waiter was a girl with beautiful big eyes. She was dressed in the same store uniform, a white slim-fitting suit, focusing on a high-end and elegant look. She smiled and said: "What you are looking at is of the best quality. The color is clean and thorough. They are all salvaged from the South China Sea." Here you go. The pink crystal bead in your hand costs three yuan."
"So expensive?" Lin Yan was stunned. The purchasing power of Sun Coin is very strong. Many people may not be able to earn three yuan a year. It is really expensive.
Pearls are very beautiful and full of temptation, but it is definitely impossible for her to spend so much money on one.
The waiter smiled and explained: "It is very difficult to salvage such a big pearl. It is very rare. You can only get one a month. The ones over there are smaller and of good quality. The price is only half of this one. You might as well take a look. I Bring it to you?"
Lin Yan shook his head and asked, "How long has this shop been open?"
"One year. It opened on January 20 last year. Big figures from the league came in person at that time, and it was very lively."
Lin Yan's eyes rolled around and he asked a lot of questions. He didn't spend a penny and left calmly under the suspicious eyes of the waiter. (End of chapter)
