Lin Shen nodded. After finishing breakfast, he left with Qin Yuenan. Sitting in the car, he began scrolling through the contacts on his phone.
His task for the morning was quite simple: to see if he could contact a nearby convenience store and buy it outright in cash. However, since he rarely returned, Lin Shen felt a bit unfamiliar with his hometown. Therefore, he could only contact a childhood friend who still lived there.
"Hello, Xuxu. How have you been lately?"
"Shen?" Upon hearing the familiar voice, a stunned tone came from the other end of the line. "Why are you calling me so suddenly? Didn't we agree to meet up tonight? What's wrong? Did something come up so you can't make it?"
"No, it's not that," Lin Shen replied over the phone. "I just wanted to know if there are any convenience stores up for sale in our hometown?"
"A convenience store?" The person on the other end was clearly taken aback, so Lin Shen continued to explain.
