The girl with a ticket clung to the door frame of the sleeper compartment, overcoming her shyness to shout: "Okay!"

Jiang Cheng and the other two crossed their arms, looking like they had never seen such a "scene" before, watching the drama unfold.

Director Lu: Thankfully, he has a son. If it were a daughter, and his daughter behaved like this outside... hahaha.

Director Lian: What’s the point?

Jiang Cheng: Two women fighting over a scumbag.

The girl who shouted okay turned around and met six puzzled eyes.

She instinctively lowered her head, embarrassed, and said, "Sorry for the trouble I caused you."

After exchanging glances, Jiang Cheng, as the representative, said, "It’s okay, who hasn’t been irrational—scared a few times in their life."

"Haha, let’s tidy up a bit."

Jiang Cheng and the others began to tidy up.

The sack was stuffed under the berth, and the luggage was piled up, trying to organize a space where people could stay.

"Jiang Cheng, do you want the upper or lower berth?"

Jiang Cheng pointed to the upper berth and said, "I’ll stay here, I probably won’t stay in the compartment for long."

Director Lu was a bit confused.

"What are you planning to do?"

"To build rapport, of course."

Jiang Cheng answered as if it was perfectly natural.

With that, she casually opened a hand-carry bag and took out some fried peanuts and sunflower seeds.

"I’m going for a stroll."

After speaking, she left.

Director Lu looked twice, worried, and said, "Nothing’s going to happen, right?"

Next to him, Director Lian calmly said, "Nope, she’s carrying a vegetable knife."

Director Lu: "..."

Do these two things have any causal relationship??

After Jiang Cheng left, she visited every compartment.

Free peanuts and sunflower seeds may not be worth much in modern times, but in this era, they were definitely a powerful tool for breaking all communication barriers.

Jiang Cheng relied on her eloquence, chatting from one end of the soft sleeper carriage to the other.

Her chats were tailored to people’s tastes.

Talking recipes with cooks, talking progress with teachers.

When meeting someone who liked to preach, she’d seriously listen and respond at just the right moments, satisfying their needs.

Complimenting kids when with parents, telling fashion-lovers they look young, praising someone’s outfit as only suitable for them.

In short, after making her rounds, everyone in the compartment was extremely warm towards Jiang Cheng.

Initially, Director Lu was a bit worried in the compartment, but after hearing the laughter and chatter from other compartments, he felt immensely proud!

Jiang Cheng, the "proud specialty" of City S!

From the time the train started, four hours had passed, and Jiang Cheng hadn’t returned once.

Director Lu checked several times and finally saw Jiang Cheng coming back.

"Oh my gosh! I thought you weren’t coming back."

Jiang Cheng walked into the compartment and said, "They wouldn’t let me leave, insisted on inviting me to dinner at the dining car. It took a herculean effort to refuse."

"Blame me for being so charming!"

Director Lu listened habitually, his expression remaining natural after the tale.

"Done boasting?"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Done."

Director Lu was amused by this response.

Jiang Cheng never failed to refresh his understanding.

"Alright, then let’s go eat. You and Director Lian go first, and I’ll go afterwards."

"Okay!"

Jiang Cheng and Director Lian left together, and the girl from the upper berth came down as well, shyly saying, "I’m going to find Brother Qiang for dinner."

Jiang Cheng and Director Lian smiled politely, offering no opinion.

The girl, named Bai Lu, aside from her poor taste in Wang Qiang, was actually a very polite and well-mannered girl.

Jiang Cheng and Director Lian headed to the carriage, taking a good ten minutes to get there.

No choice, people kept talking to Jiang Cheng wherever she went.

Including the conductors in this compartment.

Director Lian secretly gave Jiang Cheng a thumbs-up: Awesome!

Jiang Cheng reflected on herself and said, "Still a bit off, haven’t connected with the head conductor."

Director Lian encouraged, "Don’t worry, it’s just the start. You’ll do it for sure!"

"I think so too!"

The two exchanged a smile and reached the dining car.

The meals available in the dining car were not bad: braised pork, braised eggplant, shredded potatoes, plus noodles and wontons.

They ordered wontons, paid with food coupons and money, intending to eat in the dining car before switching places with Director Lu.

The wontons needed to be freshly wrapped and cooked, so there was a short wait.

Jiang Cheng took a thin wooden board out of her backpack.

The board had clearly marked cutting lines.

Director Lian watched as Jiang Cheng disassembled the variously shaped thin wooden pieces along the cut lines.

"What’s this?"

"Puzzle blocks, wanna try?"

Jiang Cheng and Director Lian disassembled all the wooden strips, then followed the pre-cut grooves to piece them together in order.

In just a few minutes, a beautiful little wooden bird was completed.

Director Lian, amazed at the little bird on the table, was speechless with shock.

"This——"

"Isn’t it fun?"

Director Lian nodded.

Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.

As long as it’s fun.

These were all prepared as bait for fishing.

"Wontons are ready!"

With that call, Jiang Cheng and Director Lian got up to fetch their wontons.

The little bird sat at the side as the two began to eat.

While they were eating, Bai Lu, Du Shanshan, and Wang Qiang, who wanted both women, came over from the same car.

Jiang Cheng saw Du Shanshan pay for a portion of wontons for Wang Qiang.

Bai Lu seemed regretful she hadn’t beaten Du Shanshan to it.

Jiang Cheng turned her gaze away; this Wang Qiang had some skills indeed!

The group sat three tables apart, without interacting.

Just as Jiang Cheng finished the last bite, the dining car door was suddenly pushed open.

"Is there a doctor here!"

"Is there a doctor here!"

Du Shanshan stood up abruptly, pointing at Wang Qiang, "Wang Qiang is a doctor!"

Jiang Cheng was slightly surprised.

But Bai Lu also stood up, proudly affirming, "Wang Qiang is a college student!"

College student, doctor.

The two words earned Wang Qiang the envious and respectful looks of everyone around.

"Great! Come with me!"

"There’s a foreign guest! It’s very urgent!"

Wang Qiang was forcibly pulled to his feet and dragged forward.

Hearing the word "foreign guest" activated all of Jiang Cheng’s cells entirely.

All along the way, she chatted with no particular aim, just passing time. Who knew if there were important people in the carriage to help?

With a mindset of expecting nothing, Jiang Cheng prepared many things.

"I’m a translator!"

Jiang Cheng volunteered, raising her hand and shouting.

The person looking for a doctor casually replied: We have a translator!

Jiang Cheng was not surprised.

But she didn’t give up either.

She got up and followed until she was stopped.

"The compartment ahead is the foreign guest compartment, no entry allowed!"

"I know! Here’s my translator ID, if you need me, come find me in car five at any time."

"My name is Jiang Cheng, say my name and everyone will know!"

An extremely informal handwritten name card was thrust out by Jiang Cheng, and the conductor looked at Jiang Cheng with a peculiar expression.

Say the name, and everyone knows? Who are you?

"Ugh, all this fuss, not realizing her own status."

Du Shanshan, who followed along, sneered. Bai Lu glanced apologetically at the volunteering Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng didn’t mind, shifting slightly to catch sight of a corner of the compartment.

Opportunities are fought for, who knows?

"No! I’ve never done surgery!"

Wang Qiang’s voice came from within, as Jiang Cheng caught a glimpse, shouting, "I can save him!"
