After the Lantern Festival, the Automobile Company started getting more driving assignments, and Ling Chengyan had two days off after going on two long-distance trips consecutively.
She went to the department store to buy things and 'bumped into' Gou'er there. After a brief chat, Gou'er left. Ling Chengyan bought two pieces of fabric and then went to the third floor's home appliance section to look at the newly arrived televisions before leaving.
Even though the festival was over, the street outside the department store was still bustling. The department store had set up two stalls in front, selling winter clothing and shoes that were about to go out of season. Because of the discounts, many people were eager to buy, creating a lively and crowded scene.
