After one layover, during the seven or eight hours of waiting, the two of them did some sightseeing in the area, and finally arrived at their destination smoothly the next day.

Ms. Samuel had arranged for someone to wait for them at the airport. As soon as they got out of the car, someone helped them with their luggage and showed them the way. The driver was clearly very professional, driving smoothly and without any delays. In less than an hour, they arrived at Ms. Samuel's hotel.

They were all old acquaintances, so after greeting the two uncles and aunties at the front desk with familiar expressions, they followed the waiter upstairs. After asking Jasmine's opinion, she chose to have separate rooms, one for each of them, opposite each other. Originally, Yu Lian had planned for a double room so she could take care of Jasmine when she needed to get up at night. She underestimated Jasmine's stubbornness and pride—she guessed she was the kind of woman who wouldn't even cry out in pain during childbirth.

After resting overnight, Yu Lian met with Ms. Samuel, who had rushed back the next day.

"I'm sorry I'm late. My friend was so hospitable that they wouldn't let me leave." Samuel smiled broadly, unlike her usual self. It was clear that this friend she was talking about was someone she was very close to.

Yu Lian waved her hand to indicate that it was alright: "It's just right, we rested for a night. If you had entertained us last night, I might not have been able to muster the energy. But since you rushed back so urgently, you should rest first. I can go and check out the location myself."

Samuel rushed back and was indeed quite tired. However, she didn't let Yu Lian go alone, but instead called over her most capable assistant.

"Sally will go with you. If you have any questions or are confused about anything, ask her. If you still can't solve it, come back and discuss it with me."

Yu Lian accepted the offer graciously, thanked them, and then got into the prepared car and left the hotel.

On the way, Sally proactively discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the various locations with her. Yu Lian was there for work, so when Sally brought it up, she actively participated in the discussion. However, the content was repetitive, and the journey was quite long; by the time they finished their conversation, they hadn't reached their destination yet. Not knowing others' likes and dislikes, Yu Lian didn't dare to speak up, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

But Sai Li was a talkative person, and she immediately started talking about Yu Lian.

"Ms. Samuel, how did you meet her?"

We met while traveling in the snow-capped mountains.

Sally was surprised that it really was a coincidence, just as Ms. Samuel had said. She was quite astonished by the new friends Ms. Samuel had made in her later years. According to her usual habits, she disliked new things and wasn't open to new people around her. Partly to avoid being scammed, and partly due to her personality. But the person sitting next to her was an exception, appearing out of nowhere and with a foreign face unfamiliar to many.

When they first met, her native language wasn't even fluent. But before long, Sally noticed her fluent spoken language.

"Have you specifically studied our local language?"

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Actually, no, I only know a little bit about it."

Sally was quite surprised. She had assumed that the man's fluent speech was due to his relationship with Ms. Samuel—that one might not get any benefits without currying favor with Ms. Samuel. But now he said he only knew the basics.

Seeing her incredulous expression, Yu Lian quickly explained, "I only know a little bit, and the rest was taught to me by my eldest son. Actually, it wasn't like he specifically taught me; he just switches languages ​​with me whenever and wherever we need to communicate. Sometimes people need a language environment, and over time you'll get the hang of it."

Sally's eyes widened, and she immediately understood why Ms. Samuel had repeatedly favored this person. Indeed, Ms. Samuel had always had a penchant for the intelligent, from her youth until now.

"Wait a minute, how come your son speaks our language?"

"He learned it specifically when we came here for tourism before."

"How long have you been learning?" Selena asked cautiously.

"Haha, you might not believe it, but he taught himself for a week."

Sally's preconceived notions about Ms. Samuel only deepened after teaching her a mother who spoke fluent English in just one week. It seems intelligent people only associate with intelligent people. If her son is this capable, the mother must be even more so; she just hadn't yet grasped the woman's exceptional qualities.

An hour and a half later, the car stopped at a plot of land on the outskirts of the city. A team was already waiting for them. Sally gave a brief introduction, telling them to skip the small talk and get straight to the point, explaining the advantages and disadvantages thoroughly to maximize efficiency, as they needed to get to the next location.

Yu Lian secretly gave Sai Li a thumbs up. Her itinerary was actually to visit one place per day, but Sai Li's words undoubtedly increased the other party's sense of urgency. To some extent, this would make the other party show their utmost sincerity. Sure enough, after a few words from Sai Li, the other party made a small concession, concisely and fluently explaining the pros and cons of the location.

Yu Lian was actually quite satisfied with this location; it complied with local laws regarding factory construction and was relatively close to the city center. However, they hadn't seen several other places yet and couldn't make a decision easily. After a brief exchange with the other party, Sai Li sent them away.

She looked at Yu Lian and asked, "Shall we continue? Ms. Samuel said you plan to stay for several days. If you feel tired, we can continue tomorrow."

Yu Lian took a nap and drank some spiritual spring water. She didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt refreshed. However, she wasn't sure if the effects of the spiritual spring water were stable, otherwise she would have given Jasmine a cup as well.

"No need, let's go straight to our next destination. I don't feel tired."

Hearing this, Sally was immediately filled with enthusiasm. The two instructed the driver to go to the next address. This time, the two addresses were much closer, less than a twenty-minute drive.

This was an abandoned factory, containing a lot of equipment that hadn't been moved yet. If Yu Lian bought it, the original owner planned to give her all of this equipment. It was indeed a very tempting bonus. However, Yu Lian didn't rush to reply. Led by the factory owner, she took a walk around the factory, conducting a basic inspection.

In fact, all these observable details were included in the investigation report that Sally gave her. Even the minor flaws that the original owner had tried so hard to conceal were uncovered by Ms. Samuel. The original owner wouldn't have mentioned them a word if she hadn't asked.

"Thank you, but we have to rush to our next destination. We'll let you know as soon as we have any good news."

Hearing Yu Lian's words to the factory owner, Sally became somewhat worried. The first two were the factory sites that she and Ms. Samuel considered to have the best overall conditions and were most favorable for her business, but judging from Yu Lian's words to the factory owner, it seemed that she hadn't chosen them. This inevitably made Sally, the one looking for a factory site, feel uneasy.
