The plane landed smoothly, and the early autumn in Nanjiang City was still hot. Zhou Yao looked at Su Li next to him worriedly, who had been absent-minded ever since he got on the plane.

"Boss?"

"We've arrived? Let's go." Su Li quickly regained his composure.

According to the fuzzy memories from his dream, he found the old street. The old street had been renovated several times and looked different from his memories, but when he looked closely, he could still find some familiar scenes.

Zhou Yao watched as Su Li's hand brushed over the bamboo fences, as if he was cherishing something.

"Boss, were you from Nanjiang City before?" Zhou Yao couldn't help asking.

"Probably," Su Li said with a smile. He didn't hide the feeling of joy bursting out of every pore. It really felt like coming home.

He bought Zhou Yao a milk tea at the street corner, then walked slowly along the street until that familiar yet unfamiliar little shop.

It was covered in dust.

There was no hustle and bustle, no customers coming in and out.

There were no wooden signboards or wooden sliding doors either.

There were no lush flower beds at the door or small blackboards writing today's specials.

There was no smiling mother who always stood at the door.

Su Li stared at this place for a long time. He felt this dusty and dilapidated look was really unsuitable.

"Yao, go ask the owner of this house if he is willing to sell the house to me." Su Li said.

Although Zhou Yao was very puzzled, he still agreed and went to the neighbor's house to ask for the contact information of the owner.

Soon he came back, "The owner is an elderly couple, but they have passed away already. Their children have settled overseas. I have emailed them."

"Um." Su Li stood at the door and looked at it for a long time. "Let's find a house to stay in Nanjiang City, and then find a carpenter."

"Boss, how long do you plan to stay in Nanjiang?" Zhou Yao was taken aback. He thought Su Li was only here to take a look. He didn't expect that Su Li was going to stay.

"I don't know. I should be here for the near future." Su Li said, "And there are some other things that I want you to help me find out as soon as possible."

Zhou Yao was puzzled, but he didn't dare to persuade Su Li and could only go to get things done.

Su Li sat in the back seat and slowly closed his eyes. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. He hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.

Zhou Yao had already parked the car in the hotel parking lot and was just waiting for him to wake up.

"Boss, you're awake?" Zhou Yao was organizing the handover of follow-up work. After all, if Su Li was going to stay in Nanjiang City long-term, many tasks needed to be transferred over to proceed smoothly.

"I booked dinner at the hotel. Shall we go upstairs?" Re𝒂𝒂d the latest stories 𝒐n nov𝒆lbin(.)com

"No, let's go to Wang's Restaurant." Su Li fumbled with his phone for a while.

Zhou Yao opened the navigation. Fortunately, it was not too far, less than half an hour later, they arrived.

There were many people at Wang's Restaurant. The welcoming lady at the door politely told them that they might have to wait for a while.
