Chapter 486 – Arrested by the Airport Police
One day…
Two days….
Three days….
Mu Zhengzhong’s hotel project has started getting tenders, and other projects from the investment fairs had started their construction. Dong Xuebing had been busy with these, but their Agency has to coordinate between the investors and the relevant departments. The other departments will take care of the rest, as the construction.
Soon, it’s time for them to go overseas.
Morning.
“Old Sun, please watch over the Agency when I am not around.”
“Leave it to me, Chief.”
“Panwei, you must a.s.sist Chief Sun and take care of the Office Department.”
“… Yes, Sir.”
Dong Xuebing gave some instructions to them outside of the Agency. He waved to Luo Haiting, Zhang Fan, and the other staff member to board his black Porsche Cayenne before driving to Beijing. The City had prepared their pa.s.sport, but there are no direct flights from Hebei Province to Tokyo. They must fly from Beijing.
On board the car.
Luo Haiting felt uncomfortable. “Chief, let Xiao Zhang drive.”
Zhang Fan also felt it’s not right for Dong Xuebing to drive them to Beijing.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. He had not driven his car in Yan Tai County these few days and want to drive it. “It’s alright. Oh, what’s your name?”
“Chief Dong, my name is Yu Rui.”
Yu Rui is a staff member who knows j.a.panese in his early twenties.
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Xiao Yu, we will count on you to translate for us in j.a.pan.”
Yu Rui quickly reply. “Yes, Sir. I will do my best to complete this task.”
“Xiao Yu is hardworking.” Luo Haiting laughed. “He had been working hard since he came to the Office Department, and he is the one who translated all our marketing materials. He is quite capable.” Luo Haiting might not be interested in her work. Still, she has a good relations.h.i.+p with her staff in the Office Department. She seldom reprimands her staff when they make mistakes and will praise them in front of the Leaders.
Yu Rui is grateful to Director Luo for praising him in front of Chief Dong, and he replied modestly. “I had just graduated from University and still have a lot to learn.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Haha… it’s good to be young.”
…….
9 am.
Beijing International Airport.
It’s crowded in the departure hall. Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting walked in front, and Zhang Fan followed behind with the luggage. Their luggage contained all the promotional materials for the investment fair and needed to be checked in. Yu Rui went to the check-in counters to check-in for them. The City Government Leaders will be traveling tomorrow, while Yan Tai County and other Counties’ investment Promotion Agency staff will be flying today. They must set up the venue before the leaders.
One can spend a thousand days in comfort at home, but spending a day away from home can be challenging.
Luo Haiting knows this. They might be Leaders in Yan Tai County but are nothing in Beijing. That’s why they need to stay low here. You could accidentally step on a stranger’s foot, and that person might be a high-ranking government official.
“Chief, it’s all ready.”
“Let’s go in. We are slightly late. The other Investment Promotion Agencies’ staff should have arrived.”
“Let me carry your bag for you.”
“No need.”
A few drug sniffer dogs are running around in the departure hall.
Dong Xuebing looked around the immigration and customs counters. He remembered how he smuggled the relics he stole from j.a.pan’s National Museum. He hopes everything will be fine when he goes to Tokyo this time.
It’s their turn to go through the security checks.
“Chief, please go first.” Luo Haiting stepped aside to let Dong Xuebing go first.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Ladies first.”
Luo Haiting giggled and went through the checks.
Dong Xuebing looks at his watch. They still have an hour before the flight departs, and there’s no hurry.
But at this moment, something happened!
Two airport staff checked Luo Haiting’s bag and saw some cosmetics. Her clothes and other personal belongings are checked in, and she is only carrying a small bag. One of the staff took out something wrapped in newspapers from her bag. He unwrapped it, and it is two apples.
Bringing apples to eat onboard the plane is fine, but the problem lies in the piece of newspaper used to wrap them!
No one will notice the words on the crumpled newspaper, but that custom staff spotted it. He frowned and stopped Luo Haiting before signaling to his coworker.
Luo Haiting is puzzled. “What is happening?”
“What do you think?” That staff rudely replied. “Stay here and wait.”
Dong Xuebing frowned and walked over. “What’s wrong? Apples are not allowed to be brought onto the plane?”
“Are you two together?” That staff looks at them and points to the words in the newspaper. “Look at it this yourself. How can you bring such things around?!”
Dong Xuebing and the rest looked at the newspaper. It’s a promotional brochure for “Quan Zhi Gong”!
Luo Haiting turns pale! Quan Zhi Gong?! That is a cult targeted by the Government! She works in the Government and knows about it.
Dong Xuebing is speechless. Why does trouble follow him everywhere?
Before they can say anything, the Airport Police arrived.
“Come with us!”
“Team Leader Sun. These people are together.” The airport staff said.
“… all of you follow us!”
“Wait. This newspaper…”
“You can explain later!”
Team Leader Sun waved his hand, and Luo Haiting and the rest are led away.
