Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Chapter 276 The train tickets to Beijing are sorted out.

Two days later, a steady, forceful knock on the door broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

Yuan Bao jogged to open the door and saw Boss Chen dressed in a suit and tie, followed by a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase, who was none other than Manager Li.

"Yuan Bao, long time no see!" Boss Chen smiled and reached out to pat Yuan Bao lightly. His cheerful voice made the whole courtyard lively.

Yuan Bao hurriedly welcomed them into the living room, where Butler Bai served them freshly brewed tea.

As soon as Mr. Chen sat down, his eyes were drawn to the neatly arranged documents on the table—the formula for "Body Cleansing and Fat Reduction Pills," pharmacological analysis reports, clinical trial data, and even detailed solutions to potential production challenges.

"Yuan Bao, your preparations are even more thorough than those of my company's R&D team!" He flipped through the documents, nodding in admiration.

Yuan Bao smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "It's all based on experience accumulated from developing other medicines before. By the way, Uncle Chen, there are a few Chinese medicinal herbs in this formula that require special processing, and I've marked them in the remarks column."

She leaned closer, her finger lightly tapping the document, "For example, this Poria cocos must be soaked in spring water for three days and nights for its medicinal effects to be fully extracted."

Mr. Chen listened very attentively and even took out a voice recorder to take notes: "Professional matters should indeed be left to professionals!"

As he spoke, he winked at Manager Li, "Old Li, bring out our cooperation agreement for this time."

Manager Li quickly opened his briefcase and took out two gold-embossed contracts.

Yuan Bao carefully read the terms, while Boss Chen added from the side: "The profit-sharing ratio will still be as agreed before..."

In addition, regarding the subsequent research and development funding..." The two discussed it in detail for another half hour before solemnly signing the contract.

Just before leaving, Boss Chen suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory! I almost forgot the important matter!"

He turned to Manager Li and said, "Old Li, Yuan Bao's family is going to Beijing in two weeks. Could you help arrange their train tickets?"

Manager Li immediately pulled out his notebook to record the relevant personnel information, and patted his chest to assure Boss Chen, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I guarantee it will be done!"

He turned to Yuan Bao and smiled, "Miss Yuan, how many people are there with you? Do you have any requirements regarding the berths?"

“There are 13 people in total, and it would be best if they were all in sleeper berths.” Yuan Bao thought for a moment, “It would be even better if they could be arranged in the same carriage.”

"Yes, no problem, I'll take care of it!" Manager Li noted down the information and hurriedly went to make a phone call to coordinate.

Half an hour later, he returned with a confident smile on his face: "It's all sorted out! 13 sleeper tickets for the same carriage. Although there are only 5 lower berths, the middle and upper berths are all next to each other, making it easy to look after each other."

Yuan Bao thanked him repeatedly, but Boss Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing! Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

The group escorted them to the gate of the courtyard and watched as Boss Chen's car drove away.

A few days later, the train ticket arrived at my home.

Yuan Bao opened the package; 13 light blue train tickets were neatly arranged, with the carriage number and berth number clearly visible.

"Tsk tsk, it's always easier to get things done when you have connections!" Mr. Yuan sighed as he looked through the train tickets. "If we were to buy them ourselves, it would be difficult to even get so many sleeper tickets, let alone the same carriage."

"That's right!" Aunt Yuan smiled as she put the train tickets into her folder. "Now I can rest easy and look forward to a happy trip to Beijing for the New Year!"

Yuan Bao then made calls to his uncle, aunt, and great-aunt to tell them that the train tickets had been arranged.

On the other end of the phone, Yuan Bao could hear Xiao Shan and Ping Ping chattering about the snacks they would bring on the road, which made Yuan Bao hang up the phone immediately.

After hanging up the phone, I laughed and told Yuan's mother that the two little ones on the other end of the line were overjoyed and probably would have blown the roof off the house.

With a week to go before leaving for Beijing, Yuan Bao sat at his desk, thinking about Xiao Shan and Ping Ping's repeated instructions before they left, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

On the desk lay their report cards from the final exams – Xiaoshan got 100 in math and 98 in Chinese, while Pingping excelled in all subjects, fully meeting the agreed-upon standards.

"Little 9, it's time to prepare our 'secret weapon'." Yuan Bao called out in his heart, and the intelligent entity in his arms, glowing with blue light, immediately started flashing, popping up a holographic mall interface.

She skillfully typed "Grandpa Panda Spirit Beast Pill" into the search bar, and two pills, as white as jade with golden patterns on their surface, immediately floated in front of her, priced at 50 gold coins each.

"Hey! Little Nine! I noticed that the price of these spirit beast pills has gone up. When I bought them for you before, they were only 100,000 yuan."

"It's gone up to 50 now, that's really expensive!" Yuan Bao clicked his tongue, but thinking of the expectant eyes of the two little ones, he still decisively clicked to buy.

As the notification sound of gold coins being deducted rang, the pills steadily fell into her virtual inventory.

"Little 9, can this spirit beast pill really be used on ordinary cats in the game world?" Yuan Bao asked with some concern. "Won't there be any problems?"

Little 9 stretched its chubby back, its eyes sparkling with joy, and a clear voice rang in her mind: "Don't worry, Master! This is a high-grade spirit beast pill, which can be used on various life forms in the game world."

And after using it, it will be like me, not afraid of shedding, and even has a self-cleaning function, although its brain won't be as sharp as mine.

As it spoke, it brought up a user manual interface, "However, after using it, you can adjust the appearance, otherwise the panda grandpas will all look the same, and it will be impossible to tell who is who."

Yuan Bao scrolled through the interface with great interest and discovered that the adjustment functions were far more powerful than he had imagined.

In addition to basic options such as fur color and body size, even pupil color and ear shape can be finely modified.

She immediately summoned two spirit beast pills from her backpack. With a flash of light, two adorable panda cubs appeared on the table, playfully shoving each other with their round paws.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Bao rested his chin on his hand and decided, "I won't name them yet. Let the two little ones choose their own names later."

Then she made some adjustments to her appearance.

Yuan Bao darkened the fur of the dog he was going to give to Xiao Shan, added metallic patterns to its paws, and adorned its belly with a few light gray hairs.

The one I was going to give to Pingping wasn't changed much; I just changed the eyes to a dreamy deep purple.

After the adjustment, the two kittens are the same size as Xiao 9, but slightly smaller and not as round as Xiao 9. They are also different in terms of fur color and eyes. They are equally soft and cute, each exuding a unique charm that makes people want to hug them.

"So cute!" Yuan Bao couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but her fingertips passed right through the shadow.

Little 9 offered a timely reminder: "My dear, you'll be able to touch it once it becomes a physical reality. However, we suggest waiting until you buy the actual cat before doing so, to avoid any unexpected issues."

Yuan Bao nodded and put the two kittens back into his backpack.

Thinking of the surprised and delighted expressions on Xiaoshan and Pingping's faces when they received the gifts, she couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor, filling the room with a joyful anticipation.

"This trip to Beijing is sure to be even more exciting and interesting," Yuan Bao murmured to himself, his gaze falling on the calendar on the wall, where the departure date was another day closer.

On the morning of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, before the thin mist had dissipated, Yuan Bao and his family of thirteen arrived at the train station with their luggage.

Xiaoshan and Pingping, like two cheerful little birds, skipped and hopped along at the front, constantly turning back to urge, "Hurry up! I can't wait to get on the train!"

After passing through the ticket check and entering the station, the group found their carriage and discovered that all 13 sleeper tickets were indeed in adjacent seats.

Yuan Bao settled the elders in the lower bunk, while Xiao Shan and Ping Ping excitedly climbed up to the middle bunk and peeked out curiously.

"Wow, this is my first time riding a sleeper train!" Xiaoshan lay on the edge of the bed, watching the platform slowly receding outside the window.

The train slowly started moving, and a cheerful announcement rang out in the carriage.

Yuan's mother took out the snacks she had prepared in advance from her bag, including sunflower seeds, fruit, and homemade dried beef jerky, and distributed them to everyone.

My aunt and my other aunt sat together and started discussing the New Year's goods they would buy in Beijing.

Bao Guo then took out his favorite martial arts novel, ready to enjoy it thoroughly.

Xiaoshan and Pingping ran over and asked him to tell them more about the delicious food in Beijing.

Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the next room.

Yuan Bao frowned and got up to check.

A stylish young woman was pointing at the middle-aged man opposite her and said in a shrill voice, "What's wrong with you? This is my lower bunk, why are you taking it?"

The middle-aged man looked aggrieved: "Young lady, this is my ticket. Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Yuan Bao stepped forward and said softly, "Everyone, don't rush. Let's take out our tickets and check them." After checking, it turned out that the woman had bought a ticket for the next carriage but mistakenly thought this was her berth.

"I'm sorry, it's my first time taking a train, I made a mistake," the woman said somewhat embarrassedly.

But just as she was about to leave, she suddenly screamed, "Where's my bag? My bag is gone!"

A commotion erupted in the carriage. The woman, on the verge of tears, cried out, "My ID card, wallet, and gifts I bought for my family are in my bag..."

Yuan Bao reassured her, "Don't worry, we'll look together." She turned to Bao Guo and said, "Brother, go and inform the train conductor, and the others can search the area."

Xiaoshan and Pingping also peeked out from the cubicle and asked nervously, "Sister Bao, what happened?"

"Someone lost their bag, let's help look for it." Yuan Bao said, while mentally asking Xiao 9, "Is there any way to find the lost bag?"

Little 9's light flashed rapidly: "My lord, I can scan the fluctuations of the items inside the carriage, but it will take a few minutes."

Just then, the train conductor arrived and began organizing the passengers to search the carriage.

Yuan Bao then quietly activated the scanning function of the small phone, scanning the crowd with his eyes.

Suddenly, she noticed a man with a flustered expression trying to walk towards the connecting area between the carriages. The black backpack in his hand was very similar to the one the woman had described.

Yuan Bao followed without making a sound, while giving Bao Guo, who had returned, a wink.

Just as the man was about to reach Baoguo, Baoguo stopped him in time: "Brother, wait a minute."

The man's expression changed, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked, "What are you doing?"

At this moment, Yuan Bao stepped forward, looked directly into his eyes, and asked, "Can I open your bag and take a look?"

"Why should I? This is my bag!" The man tried to push Baoguo away.

Just then, Xiao 9's voice rang in Yuan Bao's mind: "My lord, it's confirmed, it's this bag!"

Yuan Bao had a hunch and said loudly, "Everyone come and see, the bag in his hand is very likely the one that the lady lost!" The surrounding passengers all gathered around.

Seeing that things were not going well, the man suddenly threw down his bag and tried to run away.

Baoguo reacted quickly and grabbed his arm.

The train conductor quickly arrived and subdued the man.

Upon opening the bag, it was indeed found to contain the woman's belongings.

A round of applause erupted in the carriage.

The woman excitedly grabbed Yuan Bao's hand and said, "Thank you so much! I really don't know what I would have done without you."

Yuan Bao smiled and said, "No need to be polite. It's only right to help each other when you're traveling."

After the incident, the atmosphere in the carriage became more harmonious.

To express her gratitude, the woman shared some local specialties with everyone.

Xiaoshan and Pingping looked at Yuan Bao with admiration: "Sister Bao, you're amazing! Just like a superhero!"

Yuan Bao gently pinched their noses: "Don't panic when you encounter problems in the future, use your brain more."

The train continued its journey, and the scenery outside the window changed from familiar villages to vast plains.

Yuan Bao felt a surge of warmth as he watched his family gathered together, chatting and laughing.

She knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered on their journey, as long as the family worked together, there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome.

As the sun set, the train slowly pulled into Beijing Station.

On the platform, Manager Li, whom Boss Chen had sent to pick them up, had been waiting for a long time.

As Yuan Bao and his family stepped off the train, the unique atmosphere of Beijing enveloped them. In the distance, the skyscrapers twinkled in the twilight, as if welcoming their arrival.

"We've finally arrived!" Yuan Ma exclaimed.

Looking at his family's excited faces, Yuan Bao smiled and said, "Let's go, our trip to Beijing has officially begun!" Everyone dragged their luggage and followed Manager Li toward the exit, their laughter echoing on the platform.

As soon as Yuan Bao stepped out of the station exit, he heard a cheerful shout: "Yuan Bao! Over here!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Boss Chen, dressed in a crisp navy blue overcoat, was waving in front of a brand-new 19-seater minibus. Beside him, Brother Lin was holding a thick file bag, and behind him stood several assistants.

"Uncle Chen! Brother Lin!" Yuan Bao hurried over, with Xiao Shan and Ping Ping following behind her like two happy little deer.

Mr. Chen smiled and opened his arms wide, first giving Yuan Bao a strong hug, then warmly shaking Yuan's father's hand: "You must be tired from your journey! I've been looking forward to you coming to Beijing for the New Year!"

Brother Lin skillfully took Yuan Ma's luggage, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "Auntie, let me take care of it! Our minibus is equipped with heating, and the seats are all padded, so you'll be delivered to your accommodation comfortably."

His assistants immediately divided the work, some helping to carry luggage, others guiding the elderly man to the car, their actions quick and thoughtful.

"Mr. Chen, this is quite a grand affair!" Mr. Yuan said, looking at the suitcase that had been properly arranged, feeling both touched and embarrassed.

Mr. Chen waved his hand and pointed to the words "Chen Group's Exclusive Reception" printed on the side of the minibus: "We're all family, so let's not be so formal! I specially asked the driver to take a detour beforehand to buy some hot roasted chestnuts and milk tea so we can have a bite on the way!"

As he spoke, he opened the insulated box, and a sweet aroma wafted out.
