Reborn as a woman in a superpowered society: My father remarried and gained an older sister.

Through this scene, Gu Qing deduced that although Su Changqin and Aunt Su were sisters, they did not seem to communicate very frequently after they started their own families and careers.

There was a hint of polite awkwardness in their familiarity.

After the meal began, Gu Qing listened to the two of them talk about their work and life.

Gu Qing learned that Aunt Su lived in Nanjing, the provincial capital, but worked in Shanghai for a long time.

They engage in import and export trade, and their main dumping commodities are daily necessities, textiles, and some light industrial products.

The export destinations are some small countries in the African continent.

"However, business has become increasingly difficult in the past two years." Aunt Su picked up her wine glass and clinked it with Su Changqin's.

The designated driver definitely won't leave empty-handed tonight.

The following time almost became Aunt Su's venting session.

The turbulent situation and ever-changing policies in Black Continent, even with the backing of the Xia Kingdom, could still lead to times when all investments were lost.

Moreover, Aunt Su's business is not large in scale, and her ability to withstand risks is very limited.

“I’m thinking that Jinglan is getting older, and if I keep messing around like this, I don’t know when it will end.”

Aunt Su sighed and then revealed the true purpose of her trip.

“I plan to go back to Nanjing to do some business in medical equipment. I’ve already made some connections, but I’m still a little short.”

After Aunt Su said this, she stared intently at Su Changqin.

Su Changqin picked up her wine glass and said with a smile, "You're my own sister, who else would I help if not you?"

"After Xiyue and Qingqing finish their college entrance exams, I'll go to Jinling to visit my old boss. Let's go together then!"

In a sense, Gu Qing witnessed a resource exchange.

Alternatively, it could be expressed in a derogatory way.

After the business was settled, Aunt Su's smile widened, and she encouraged everyone to raise a glass together.

Gu Qing and Su Xiyue's cups naturally contained water, while Su Jinglan was drinking wine.

That said, Gu Qing has not yet touched alcohol since he transmigrated and been reborn into this world.

In his previous life, his drinking capacity had been honed and he had some skill, but in this life, it remains to be seen.

However, Su Jinglan, who was sitting directly opposite Gu Qing, clearly hadn't been trained in drinking, and became somewhat drunk after just a few sips.

Alcohol, once it takes effect, can make people more reckless.

After Su Jinglan clinked glasses with Su Changqin and Gu Yuan, she turned her attention to Gu Qing.

"Qingqing, the college entrance exam is just a few days away. As someone who's been through it, let me tell you, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Treat it like a normal exam. Eat and play as usual. Mindset is the most important thing!"

After Su Jinglan finished speaking, she took another sip of wine.

The liquor on the table was a strong-aroma baijiu, and judging from the packaging, it seemed to be 45 degrees, which wasn't considered high.

"Thank you for reminding me, cousin."

Gu Qing picked up the water in her hand and raised it to the distance to express her gratitude.

Su Xiyue, standing beside him, secretly sneered.

If we were to name the least nervous person in the entire No. 2 High School regarding the college entrance examination, that person would definitely be Gu Qing.

Su Xiyue had observed that Gu Qing never studied at home; he spent most of his time reading strange books.

Seeing Gu Qing's lukewarm reaction, Su Jinglan was slightly disappointed.

Because of the relationship between Gu Qing and Su Changqin, she could not express herself too directly, and she also suppressed the unreliable greed in her heart.

Her feelings for Gu Qing were more of attraction at first sight; she hoped to gain his admiration or affection, just as she would with other young men.

She wanted to stand out and gain the favor of the opposite sex; it was that simple.

After failing to find a breakthrough from the front, Su Jinglan changed her strategy and started chatting with Su Changqin using some hearsay knowledge and vocabulary from her university days.

It's more like Su Changqin is trying to be compatible with lower-level users than chatting.

Su Jinglan suffers from a common problem among many college students—being ambitious but lacking practical skills.

"I believe Los Angeles needs at least one subway line; this would greatly benefit people's lives!"

Su Jinglan made outrageous remarks, attempting to attract the attention of everyone present, especially Gu Qing, with her lofty and eloquent speech.

Unfortunately, upon hearing this, Gu Qing reacted in the same way as Su Changqin, both frowning.

As one of the high-ranking leaders of this small city, Su Changqin not only instinctively disliked people who knew nothing getting involved and interfering.

I am even more disgusted by those who make statements about "the people's livelihood" without any basis.

"Jinglan's idea is quite good. After all, she studied at a university in the capital, so she has a broad perspective and a promising future," Su Changqin said.

She naturally had no reason to refute a junior's whimsical theory.

However, if we let our older sister continue to be so naive, it would be a breach of the principles of being an elder.

After a brief pause, Su Changqin suddenly turned her head, smiled at Gu Qing and Su Xiyue, and said:

"Xiyue, Qingqing, what do you think of Jinglan's thoughts?"

What's your opinion?

Su Xiyue was slightly taken aback when the topic suddenly turned to her, but she quickly recovered.

She wasn't particularly intimidated, and compared to Su Jinglan, she had a significant advantage.

That is, she knew the attitudes of her own mother and Gu Qing, who were by her side, and they clearly did not approve of this suggestion.

If that's the case, then all we need to do is find a reasonable reason to oppose this viewpoint.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiyue tried to organize her thoughts and said:

“The city center of Luocheng is only an hour away by car from south to north and from east to west. Isn’t it a bit of a waste to build a subway?”

The girl's views were simple and down-to-earth.

Los Angeles is too small to require the subway as a primary mode of transportation.

"That makes sense. Where's Qingqing?"

Su Changqin nodded, already quite satisfied that her daughter had thought of this.

She knew her own daughter better than anyone.

He's good-looking and has a good physique, and he's not stupid, but he hasn't experienced hardship and lacks experience.

On the contrary, Gu Qing, the boy Gu Yuan described as independent, self-reliant, and opinionated since childhood, has already surpassed many of his peers in terms of experience.

—Although that wasn't exactly good luck.

"My thoughts are similar to those of Sister Xiyue."

Gu Qing glanced at Su Xiyue, then recalled, "I think I saw it in Auntie's study last time. Luocheng's GDP last year was 3500 billion, and its permanent population was 400 million."

"The urban population is less than 300 million and is declining year by year."

"Although we don't know what the future holds, if we start building the subway line now, we might not even be able to pay Uncle Su's salary!"

Gu Qing ended with a joke, but the meaning was already very clear.

Los Angeles simply cannot afford the cost of building a subway.

After a meal, Su Jinglan finally realized that she and Gu Qing were not on the same level at all.

With her mother's deliberate, veiled warning, Su Jinglan finally gave up the idea.

She is flamboyant and likes to show off, but she is certainly not stupid for being able to get into a top university.

Gu Qing's face, figure, and temperament were indeed very attractive to her.

However, the high cost and extremely high failure rate of the strategy led her to choose to tactically abandon it.

The world never revolves around any one person.

Compared to the high cost of dating Gu Qing, wouldn't it be better to just find a few pure and cute young men to date and chat about life?

Even simps come in several different types.

A smart sycophant will never sycophant only to one master.

……

Although the villa has a large interior area, Su Changqin only reserved two guest rooms during the renovation.

One of these two guest rooms has become Gu Qing's bedroom.

Therefore, the remaining guest room is not enough for both Aunt Su and Su Jinglan to stay at the same time.

For this reason, the two had already booked a hotel in advance.
