Over the next few days, they watched as a steady stream of foreign merchants arrived in Guangcheng. Most of these foreigners checked into the major hotels, and those who arrived later had to be guided around to find lodging. Fortunately, Li Xiulan and her group had arrived early; otherwise, they wouldn't have even been able to book a spot at the local guest house.
Everyone familiarized themselves with all the exits of the trade fair and learned the surrounding routes. This was not only to ensure their business transactions went smoothly but also to get closer to the foreigners. If they encountered anyone who was lost, a bit of helpful service might just earn them enough favor to get those foreigners interested in the products displayed at their stall.
One day, while Li Xiulan was out, a woman's voice suddenly called out to her: "Sister, what are you doing here? What a coincidence! I took several looks just now, but I didn't dare to be sure it was you."
