Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"Sis, did you write all of this? What's the point of writing all this?"

Su Fengnan glanced at her. "You really can't tell?"

"It's probably used in the descriptions of those pictures!"

"Hmm," Su Fengnan responded, her fingers continuing to fly across the keyboard. Seeing this, Su Fengxia wisely shut her mouth and tiptoed away.

By the time she finished typing the last word, the setting sun outside the window had already disappeared. The air became muggy and humid, and heavy clouds hung low, as if a heavy rain was about to break out.

The next morning, Su Fengnan was awakened by the sound of rain outside her window. Opening the window, she saw a steady drizzle, enveloping the town in a misty haze.

At 10 a.m., her phone beeped. Su Fengnan received the retouched photos from the photographer immediately. She quickly opened her computer and uploaded the images to her online store, simultaneously activating the previously purchased Google Ads slot. With homepage recommendations and search rankings working in tandem, Su Fengnan was determined to present this first wave of sales figures impressively to her parents, giving them more confidence when they took over.

Su Fengnan arranged a job for her younger sister, Su Fengxia, as a customer service representative for an online store, paying her twenty yuan a day. With work to do and money to be earned, Su Fengxia was secretly delighted, muttering to herself, "Finally, I can save money openly! Once I've saved enough, I can go learn to paint..."

"What are you muttering about? I called you but you didn't answer." Su Fengnan walked up behind her and gently patted her shoulder.

"Ah—did you call me?" Su Fengxia was startled.

"What's wrong? Why are you acting so strangely?" Su Fengnan was both annoyed and amused.

Su Fengxia chuckled and scratched her head: "It's nothing, it just feels really good to have something to do and get paid, hehe."

Su Fengnan shook her head helplessly: "Alright! I've sent the customer service script to your email. Take a good look at it, and starting today, keep an eye on store messages."

Su Fengxia immediately gave a standard OK sign: "Mission accomplished!"

Three days flew by, and all the arrangements for opening the shop were finally settled. Su Fengnan breathed a sigh of relief. Her parents took some time to buy them new mattresses, making it much more comfortable to sleep at night.

During these three days, Su Fengnan was busy with her online store during the day and, without fail, spent two or three hours each evening writing her novel, making the most of her time. However, she got stuck when she got to the part that required consulting historical materials, so she decided to go to the city library as soon as possible to look up some ancient texts.

The three-day holiday flew by, and Su Guoyuan's factory received a new shipment, meaning the family would be back to work.

It's still raining today, but thankfully the rain isn't heavy, so riding a bike with an umbrella is fine.

"Dad, I'm going to Ruicheng Library today and I'll be back this afternoon. You don't need to come with me to work," Su Fengnan said while eating breakfast.

Su Guoyuan had just finished eating. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, his brow furrowed slightly, and asked, "Are you sure you can go alone?"

"Dad, don't worry! I'm all grown up, what could possibly happen in broad daylight?"

Su Guoyuan stood up, took a folding knife from his keychain, and handed it to Su Fengnan: "Take this, for self-defense."

Su Fengnan was speechless. Was her father's protectiveness a bit too strong? However, she knew that this was her father's deep concern, so she obediently nodded and accepted it: "Okay, I'll keep it with me at all times."

Seeing that his daughter had accepted the food, Su Guoyuan nodded in satisfaction: "Then hurry up and finish eating, pack up and leave. Remember to come back early."

"That's good." Su Fengnan finished her rice in a few bites, grabbed her schoolbag, and headed out.

Just as she reached the door, Su Fengxia stopped her: "Sister, could you bring me a beginner's book on painting?"

"You want to learn to draw?" Su Fengnan saw through her sister's little scheme at a glance.

Su Fengxia twisted her fingers a little shyly: "I kind of want to... hehe..."

"If you want to learn, just say so. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't worry, as long as you want to learn, I'll find you a teacher, and I'll cover the tuition."

"Really? Sis!" Su Fengxia excitedly hugged Su Fengnan's arm and rubbed against her.

Su Fengnan feigned disgust and tugged at her arm, "Can I leave now?"

Su Fengxia released her hand, her face beaming with smiles: "Let's go, let's go, come back soon!"

"Okay, customer service lady, the online store is in your hands now. Don't slack off."

Su Fengxia immediately stood up straight and saluted solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

……

When Su Fengnan arrived at Ruicheng Library, it was already packed with people. The reading room was full, and people were constantly coming and going to use the computers and rent DVDs.

She went straight to the history section, picked out a few urgently needed classics, found a quiet corner, and simply sat cross-legged on the floor to read them.

Su Fengnan reads extremely fast and has a photographic memory. She read for so long that she didn't stop until the afternoon. It wasn't until the librarian came over and gently reminded her that she snapped out of her reverie.

"Little sister, I've seen you sitting here all day, aren't you tired?" the caretaker asked with concern.

A whole day? Su Fengnan quickly pulled out her phone and checked; it was four in the afternoon. She had indeed been sitting all day. Just as she was about to get up, a wave of tingling and numbness washed over her legs: "Ouch—my legs are numb."

"Do you need any help?" the administrator asked.

Su Fengnan shook her head and smiled slightly: "No need, thank you! I'll be fine in a bit."

Seeing that she refused, the librarian said no more, and instructed, "Then put the book back after you've rested. The library is about to close." After saying that, he turned and left.

After a while, Su Fengnan shook her legs vigorously. Once she regained consciousness, she got up, put the books back in their place, and left the reading area with her bag.

Afterwards, she inquired about the area where the library sold writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and quickly purchased two wolf-hair brushes, two mixed-hair brushes, two bottles of Yidege ink, several calligraphy practice books, two introductory painting tutorials, and two reams of three-foot Xuan paper of different sizes. Only after paying did she leave the library, satisfied.

When I came out, I realized my stomach was growling. Just then, my cell phone rang; it was my mother calling.

"Hey, Mom, I'm on my way back... It's okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Su Fengnan found a small restaurant by the roadside and wolfed down a bowl of noodles. Then she found where her bicycle was parked, stuffed the small items she had bought into her backpack, put the Xuan paper in a plastic bag, tied it to the back seat, and rode home. Fortunately, the rain had stopped, and the ride home was exceptionally smooth.

Meanwhile, a thrilling chase is unfolding on the national highway leading from Pingyang County to Linyang Town.

Three cars sped along the wet, slippery road after the rain, closely following each other.

"Young Master, fasten your seatbelt, the brakes have failed!" Uncle Wu's voice was tense from the driver's seat.

Upon hearing this, the young man in the back seat felt a sudden chill and quickly checked his seatbelt: "There's no problem."

He observed the road conditions through the car window and calmly directed, "Uncle Wu, if there's a fork in the road ahead, just turn over and take the other way!"

"Young master, hold on tight!"

With the brakes failing, Uncle Wu could only grip the steering wheel tightly to control the car's speed. When he saw the fork in the road ahead, he glanced at the rearview mirror—the car behind him was still hot on his heels. He made a decisive move, and as soon as he reached the fork, he swerved sharply, turning left onto a small rural road.

The car behind was clearly caught off guard and didn't have time to slow down or turn. It sped straight ahead, almost colliding with an oncoming vehicle and causing an accident.
