Chapter 89 - 89 89 Take Me with You_1
Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Take Me with You_1 Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Take Me with You_1 “It’s now April 8th.
Wang Ye and Angelina got up early, washed, had breakfast, and then headed straight to the airport.
By the time they arrived at the airport, Liu Jun was already there, as well as the directors of the foreign affairs offices of both Moscow University and Friendship University.
Seeing Angelina, the director of Friendship University’s Foreign Affairs Office greeted her with a laugh. “Haha, Angelina, I didn’t expect you to be working at Qingyun Company. Good to see you again.”
Although Angelina was a teacher, she was not a subordinate of the Foreign Affairs Office.
Therefore, the director knew that she had resigned, but he was not clear about where she had gone.
The director of Moscow University’s Foreign Affairs Office was a bit more reserved – a tall middle-aged man with grey hair who looked quite professional in his three-piece suit.
No wonder, as Moscow University is a world-class university, and the director of the Foreign Affairs Office is a person of significant influence. Being a bit haughty is understandable.
After some brief pleasantries, they didn’t pay much attention to Wang Ye. They were unaware that Wang Ye was the real boss of Qingyun Company.
This suited Wang Ye just fine, giving him some peace and quiet.
………
Boarding and take-off went smoothly.
Wang Ye and Angelina donned eye masks and leaned on each other to sleep.
The economy cabin was small and cramped, but they made do.
The hustle and bustle of the past two nights had left them utterly drained.
When Wang Ye woke up, they were almost at the capital airport, having slept for seven to eight hours!
He got up and went to the back of the plane for a smoke.
Back then, smoking was allowed on Russian flights. There was a designated smoking area at the back of the plane where heavy smokers could puff away.
After smoking, he went to wash his face, and felt much more refreshed.
Not long after, the plane landed at the capital airport.
They needed to make a connecting flight here to the capital city of Zhongyuan Province.
At the international arrivals exit, Wang Ye saw Nalan Yaqi’s mother.
Yaqi’s mother, Liu Mei, seemed quite young. She didn’t look like she was in her forties but rather appeared as vibrant as a woman in her thirties.
Her hair was neatly arranged in a high bun, she wore a grey dress-suite with high heels and pantyhose, emanating a mature woman’s charm.
“You must be Wang Ye. I’ve often heard Yaqi talk about you.” Liu Mei looked at Wang Ye strangely, sizing him up from head to toe.
Wang Ye smiled calmly and politely responded, “Hello Auntie. I’ve also heard Yaqi talk about you often. Here, this is something that Yaqi asked me to bring you.”
With that, he took the paper bag out of his suitcase and handed it to Yaqi’s mother.
“You’ve gone to so much trouble. It’s a shame you have to catch another flight. Otherwise, I could show you around the capital. By the way, I heard from Yaqi that your company is doing quite well and has received strong support from two local education bureaus?” Liu Mei appeared quite interested in Qingyun Company.
As for the paper bag Wang Ye handed her, she didn’t pay much attention and casually put it aside.
“We’re doing fine, just muddling through and trying some new things, sorry for our amateurish efforts,” said Wang Ye modestly.
He had heard that Liu Mei also ran her own company, but didn’t know what it did.
Liu Mei smiled, elegantly brushing her hair back from her ear with a gesture full of feminine charm.
“If you can achieve such great things by muddling through, it seems you have a natural gift for business. I need to learn from you. Here’s an idea, you’re holding that promotion conference on the 10th, right? I’m thinking of coming to observe and learn.”
Wang Ye looked hesitant. They were tight on time and had a lot of work to do for this trip. He wasn’t keen on having an extra “burden” to worry about.
Seeing Wang Ye’s reluctance, Liu Mei laughed lightly, “I won’t be a burden. I’ll drive myself. I just want to be present at the meeting.”
The capital was not that far from Zhongyuan, about seven or eight hundred kilometers. However, driving there would indeed be tiring.
Seeing this, Wang Ye felt a bit awkward and quickly said, “It would be impolite on our part if you were to drive yourself. How about this, I’m not sure if there is still time to book a flight. If there is, you can just join us.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei’s face brightened and she hastily said, “There should still be tickets available. I’ll go purchase them now, and we can all meet up in the waiting hall later.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
Once she was gone, Angelina asked, “What were you two talking about? Is that Nalan Yaqi’s mother? She looks quite young.”
Wang Ye nodded and said, “Yes, she wants to go with us. She’s interested in our Study Abroad Promotion Conference.”
Honestly, Wang Ye was quite puzzled.
Liu Mei ran her own company and must be busy most of the time. Why would she have the free time to go to Yangnan City just to attend a Study Abroad Promotion Conference?
However, Nalan Yaqi was also a shareholder of the company. Perhaps her mother was a little concerned and wanted to see for herself if the company could really make money.
………
When Liu Jun heard about Liu Mei, he was pretty speechless.
However, he didn’t object, presumably because he also considered Nalan Yaqi’s status as a shareholder in the company.
Furthermore, their group already consisted of seven or eight people – one more wouldn’t make much of a difference.
As it turned out, Liu Mei did manage to get on the same flight as Wang Ye and the others.
Without further ado, they set off. The flight from the capital to Zhongyuan was fairly quick, taking just over an hour.
By the time they arrived in the capital city of Zhongyuan Province, it was already evening. Li Changyun, accompanied by two working personnel from Yangnan Teacher’s College, was waiting for them.
After a round of greetings, they all got on the car brought by Li Changyun.
Yangnan Teacher’s College was not as well-off as Qingyun Company, the car was simply a Toyota minivan that could accommodate more than ten people.
That was convenient enough.
The car sped along the highway. It would take around three hours to travel from the provincial capital to Yangnan City, as there were no expressways back then and they could only travel on the regular highway.
Li Changyun originally suggested that they stay the night in the provincial capital and set off early the next morning.
However, Qingyun Company politely declined his good intentions, hoping to get to Yangnan City as soon as possible so they could have enough time to prepare for the promotion conference the next day.
Even if it was a bit tiring, work was important…
…
When it came to Wang Ye’s return, Li Changyun was rather baffled.
In the preliminary communication with Qingyun Company, it was mentioned that a Russian education expert would give a speech. However, he wasn’t sure what this had to do with Wang Ye – Wang Ye didn’t seem to qualify as an education expert!
At their first meeting, Li Changyun didn’t have the chance to ask. Once they got in the car, he finally had an opening and took Wang Ye aside to whisper, “Why are you here too?”
“I’ll be delivering a speech at the conference as a student representative. Consider it a favor I’m doing for Qingyun Company,” replied Wang Ye with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Changyun nodded. An international student sharing their personal experience at the Study Abroad Promotion Conference would indeed be quite credible.
What do you think?
