Chapter 1349: You Have to Go Oversees Too? / Sent Off by Dong Jun
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“We still need President Bao to show up personally.” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said, “Let’s do this. We will each take back the contract and study it again. If there is no problem, I will come with President Bao to sign it here tomorrow morning at nine o’clock.”
“No problem. See you at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.” Xu Xiaobin and Jing Xiaolu shook hands. They began to pack up their things and then left the meeting room.
Once the contract was confirmed, Jing Xiaolu and Xu Xiaobin all relaxed. Once she was out of the door, Jing Xiaolu called Bao Sanli first and told him about signing the contract at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. Bao Sanli said that there was no problem. He would be there by that time.
After calling Bao Sanli, Jing Xiaolu also called Yang Ming.
“Xiaolu?” Yang Ming was at Fang Tian’s home discussing going to Europe together tomorrow. Fang Tian’s tickets were booked. They would fly directly from Donghai International Airport to the b.u.t.terfly Castle at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
“Yang Ming, the cooperation with the Jiangyan Group has been discussed. Our company holds fifty-one percent of the shares, and the dominance is in our hands,” said Jing Xiaolu.
” Hehe , not bad. It’s very good.” Yang Ming praised after listening. Yang Ming had roughly understood this Jiangyan Group. It was one of the largest private enterprises in the North. The most important business they were involved in was the bank escort business.
“I didn’t lose your face, right?” Jing Xiaolu heard Yang Ming praise her, and her heart was sweetened. She always wanted to be a useful person to Yang Ming and his helper. Now it seemed that she had done this.
“What do you mean by “losing my face”? You are now doing things for Bao Sanli; you represent the company.” Yang Ming smiled and replied.
“But, everyone thinks that I am yours now!” Jing Xiaolu said delicately.
“-” Yang Ming sweated a bit. It was a bit hard to reply to Jing Xiaolu’s words. Her words made Yang Ming feel a little ambiguous. In the eyes of others, these words could mean that Jing Xiaolu was someone from Yang Ming’s faction, which was normal in officialdom and some large enterprises.
However, on the other hand, Jing Xiaolu was a girl, and she and Yang Ming were a little nebulous. When she said this, it did not only mean what it meant on the surface, but it also had a deeper meaning.
Yang Ming knew that Jing Xiaolu might have deliberately said this, but he couldn’t find any mistakes in it. He could only pretend to be unintelligible and say, “Yeah, I arranged for you to be in the company. Everyone thinks that you are one of my cronies.”
And your woman! Jing Xiaolu added a sentence to Yang Ming in her heart, but she did not say it. She knew that it was fine as long as things were implied. It made no sense to say more; on the contrary, it would make Yang Ming unhappy.
“I’m going to sign the contract tomorrow. Are you going?” asked Jing Xiaolu.
“I am going overseas for work tomorrow. You can ask Bao Sanli to go.” Yang Ming had to rush to Donghai tomorrow morning, and then he would fly to Europe to break off the engagement.
” Ah ? You have to go out…” Jing Xiaolu wanted to invite Yang Ming to attend the cla.s.s reunion, but she was a little disappointed when she heard Yang Ming was going overseas.
“Why? Do you have anything?” Yang Ming felt that Jing Xiaolu wanted to say something, but she hesitated, so he asked.
“I have a cla.s.s reunion at the end of the month… Sister Xinyao and Brother Bi Hai are going too. They also invited me…” Jing Xiaolu hesitated and said, “Everyone is taking a boyfriend with them. If I don’t bring one, others will look down on me…”
Look down on you? Yang Ming broke into a sweat. This is a nonsense theory! She probably wants me to go with her, but she was embarra.s.sed to say so. Therefore, she fabricated such a reason.
However, Yang Ming indeed did not have any good reason to go. I almost become an expert in pretending to be someone else’s boyfriend. First, Lin Zhiyun and then Zhao Ying… Now Jing Xiaolu probably has this idea too.
However, Yang Ming was too embarra.s.sed to reject her directly. His impression of Jing Xiaolu was very good now. His relations.h.i.+p with her was also good. Yang Ming could only say, “The earliest I can come back this time is after a week. If it goes slow, it might take more than half a month… I probably won’t make it to your cla.s.s reunion. It can’t be helped…”
“It’s okay. The cla.s.s reunion is scheduled to be before the May Day holiday, which is the end of April. It’s only the end of March now. There is enough time.” Jing Xiaolu was excited when she heard Yang Ming’s words.
“This…” Yang Ming didn’t think that there was still a month until this cla.s.s reunion. He a.s.sumed that since Jing Xiaolu mentioned it now, it must be within these few days. He didn’t expect it to be after a month.
He already said that he could come back in half a month, latest. If he didn’t agree with Jing Xiaolu, it was inexcusable! Yang Ming had no option. Who asked me to talk so fast without first asking about the date of Jing Xiaolu’s cla.s.s reunion? Thinking of this, Yang Ming had to force himself to say, “Alright, when I come back, we’ll get in touch again and discuss this.”
“Thank you… Yang Ming.” Jing Xiaolu also knew that she used a little trick, so she felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. “If there really is no time, I won’t force you…”
After noticing that Jing Xiaolu had the intention to admit her mistake, Yang Ming was also more comfortable. Although Jing Xiaolu liked to play some small tricks, she never hid anything from him. Yang Ming said, “It doesn’t matter. If I’m free, I’ll accompany you.”
“That’s great.” Jing Xiaolu pumped her fist. She didn’t expect that the words she said later had such a great effect! Originally, Yang Ming only said that he would discuss the cla.s.s reunion. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to say that if he were free, he would accompany her.
Thinking of this, Jing Xiaolu completely grasped Yang Ming’s mentality. He was a person who yielded to soft approaches but rejected force. The softer you were, the more he didn’t know what to do with you. In fact, Jing Xiaolu also guessed it correctly. For a chauvinistic person like Yang Ming, the more you clamored with him, the more annoyed he got. On the contrary, if you were pitiful, Yang Ming really didn’t know what to do.
Yang Ming didn’t want to leave after he just came back. He hadn’t been at home for a few days, and now he had to go overseas again. However, he had to go. This time, he was going to break off his engagement. If he didn’t settle this, he might bring back another wife, and then it would be even more troublesome.
He told Chen Mengyan that he had something that he needed to go out and do. Chen Mengyan now knew that Yang Ming was different from before. His business was getting bigger and bigger, and it expanded overseas. Therefore, she did not interfere when Yang Ming said that he had business to do. She just instructed Yang Ming to be careful when he was out.
As for the safety of Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun, Yang Ming was not worried. Victoria was protecting them by the side. It was difficult for ordinary people to harm them.
Zhou Jiajia and Xiao Qing stayed in school, so there should probably be no problem.
As for w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, Yang Ming hadn’t contacted her for a while. He knew that Zhao Ying stayed with her, so Yang Ming didn’t dare to hara.s.s her. However, when Yang Ming was about to leave, he still decided to call and notify her.
“Yang Ming? I was about to call you. You called me first?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan sat in the terminal of the Donghai International Airport and picked up Yang Ming’s phone call.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had just arrived at the Donghai International Airport and changed her boarding pa.s.s. She was about to find a place to sit down and call Yang Ming when Yang Ming’s phone call came in.
“You wanted to call me? Is there anything the matter?” asked Yang Ming.
“I’m at the airport. Something happened at home; they asked me to go back.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said, “When I get there if the phone can’t roam, I might change phone numbers. I will contact you when I get there.”
“You have to go away too?” Yang Ming was stunned. He didn’t expect there to be such a coincidence. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan actually went to the airport.
“Yeah, it can’t be helped. Something happened at home, so I have to go back.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was very happy when she thought that she could break off the engagement, so she did not notice the word “too” in Yang Ming’s sentence. “Right, Yang Ming. Sister Zhao Ying is in my house. When I am not around these days, you can accompany her… Of course, you can pretend to look for me and accidentally meet her.”
“What? She knows about us?” Yang Ming was surprised. When he listened to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s meaning, it seemed as if Zhao Ying knew something! Otherwise, why would he find w.a.n.g Xiaoyan for no reason?
Chapter 1353: Sent Off by Dong Jun
After Yang Ming asked this, he felt that he asked something funny. From the Internet, he already knew that Zhao Ying saw that he was in a relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Xiaoyan; his question was somewhat redundant.
Although it was never said on the surface, Zhao Ying surely knew. However, listening to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s meaning, she seemed to have cleared some things with Zhao Ying. Then, do I have a chance?
If Zhao Ying accepted w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, can my relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Ying go further?
“Of course, she knows, or else, wouldn’t we have a barrier between us?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Sister Ying’s knot in her heart has been solved. You can find her at ease. This time, I created an opportunity for you. You have to grasp it!”
“Yanyan, I have to go out too… It seems that I am not blessed to enjoy this opportunity of yours.” Yang Ming could not help but smile bitterly. However, Yang Ming was very thrilled that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and Zhao Ying were able to bury the hatchet and become good friends again.
After all, if Zhao Ying and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan are against each other, I would have a tough time stuck in the middle. Moreover, Zhao Ying re-entered the Cold War with me this time partly because of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. Therefore, since they both reconciled, if I put in a little effort, most likely, there won’t be a problem for Zhao Ying to change her mind.
It’s just that I’m going out this time, too, so there’s no other way. Such a good opportunity is wasted.
“You have to go out too? Really? Is there such a coincidence?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan heard that Yang Ming was also going out, and she was a bit puzzled. “What are you going out for?”
“With my master,” said Yang Ming.
“Oh, so it’s like this.” Seeing that Yang Ming did not say much, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan thought it was a secretive matter, so she did not ask further. Although she and Yang Ming were intimate, Yang Ming definitely couldn’t talk about his master’s matters. “That’s a pity. I wanted to create some opportunities for you.”
“It can’t be helped. Hehe, but I will try to come back earlier before you,” said Yang Ming.
“It can only be like this. Right, are you going abroad? Or is it domestic?” asked w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
“Of course I’m going abroad.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “We probably won’t be in touch. If there is something, we’ll come back and talk about it.”
“It could only be like this.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said with some regret. She also wanted to immediately inform Yang Ming of the news of her successful break off from her engagement. If possible, she would like to take Yang Ming home to see her father.
Although she chose Yang Ming herself, and she would never give up, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was also very willing to see her family accept him. With Yang Ming’s power, he would probably be highly regarded by her father.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming came out of the study. Today was the last night to sleep at home. Naturally, he had to be intimate with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun. It was just that Zhou Jiajia was not at home, but he also couldn’t go to Xiao Qing’s place, or else, what should he do about Zhou Jiajia?
Sun Jie was in Donghai. If he had time tomorrow, he could see her first, but it was hard to have enough time.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn’t help but sigh. Why am I so busy? There was a song called “Cowboy on the Run [1].” Yang Ming thought that he was even more hectic than the cowboy.
Early the next morning, Yang Ming called Bao Sanli and asked him for a ride to the villa area. Yang Ming was unable to drive to the airport because he had to travel overseas, so he asked Bao Sanli to take him to Fang Tian’s home.
After waiting for a while at the door, he saw Jing Xiaolu’s BMW park in front of him. The door of the front seat opened, and Jing Xiaolu stuck her head out from inside. “Get in the car, Chairman Yang.”
“How come you are here?” Yang Ming pulled opened the car door and got in the car. “Where is Bao Sanli?”
“We have to sign the contract in a while, so he wants to prepare the materials at the company. He is too busy. Therefore, I came to pick you up.” Jing Xiaolu said naturally.
“He is too busy, but you are free? Aren’t you the one who negotiated this cooperation?” How could Yang Ming believe Jing Xiaolu’s excuse?
” Hehe , since you have to go overseas, why can’t I send you off?” Jing Xiaolu did not deny it this time, but she changed the subject.
“You can. Of course, you can.” Yang Ming nodded. “How about it? Are you getting used to driving this car?”
“Nonsense. How could I not get used to such a good car?” Jing Xiaolu said, “You don’t know that people in the company are jealous of me. Even Sister Xinyao envies me.”
“Since you are like this now, even if you don’t have a boyfriend, wouldn’t you still be impressive when you go to the cla.s.s reunion? How can someone look down on you?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.
“Ah…” Jing Xiaolu didn’t think that there would be a time when she would fall into the trap he had set. She was immediately at a loss for words.
Yang Ming was amused, looking at Jing Xiaolu being embarra.s.sed.
“Well, I only want you to accompany me. Is this okay?” Jing Xiaolu was a gangster. She directly said her thoughts.
“Alright… I didn’t say no…” Since Jing Xiaolu said this, Yang Ming really could not refute. Girls sometimes had this advantage. After making a mistake, they could also do so reasonably.
“I know you treat me the best.” Jing Xiaolu smiled.
“Don’t think so much nonsense. Do your work properly,” said Yang Ming.
“I got it. Am I not always working hard now?” Jing Xiaolu nodded.
Yang Ming did not let Jing Xiaolu drive him to Fang Tian’s door. As for Fang Tian, Yang Ming tried not to let others know that he was an apprentice of the King of a.s.sa.s.sins. It was a secret. If this were spread out, it would definitely lead to a lot of trouble.
Stopping at the entrance of the villa area, Yang Ming got off. He waved to Jing Xiaolu. “I wish you good luck in signing the contract.”
“I wish you a pleasant trip.” Jing Xiaolu also waved with a smile. She initially wanted to say “may a favorable wind send you safely,” but she thought that Yang Ming was flying, and it didn’t seem auspicious if she said that, so she changed it to “have a pleasant trip.”
After Yang Ming waited for Jing Xiaolu to drive away, he turned around and went into the villa area. He came to Fang Tian’s villa and saw a Land Rover Discovery 4 parked there.
Yang Ming was a bit puzzled. This car is not listed yet in China. Who got this here? It seems that there are quite a lot of rich people in this community. The road is quite wide.
When he entered the villa, he heard voices from inside. When he looked up, he found that Dong Jun was also there. At the moment, he was chatting with Fang Tian.
“Senior apprentice is also here.” Yang Ming nodded to Dong Jun and greeted him.
“I will take you and Master to the airport in a while.” Dong Jun smiled and said, “I know you can’t drive, so I came to be the driver.”
“Hehe, I was still worried about this,” Yang Ming said after listening. “It seems that someone can take us.”
“Dong Jun just happens to be in Song Jiang, so I told him to send us,” said Fang Tian.
“I should do this. Even if I’m not here, I will come back.” Dong Jun said quickly.
Yang Ming looked at Dong Jun and nodded. He asked, “Senior apprentice, what are you busy with recently?”
“It’s nothing. Just going around and helping a few children to go to school.” Dong Jun shrugged. “My days are carefree.”
“Hehe, it’s so leisurely. If only I can swap with senior apprentice, then it would be great.” Yang Ming laughed after listening.
“Swap what? You have to inherit Master’s career. How can you do nothing like me?” Dong Jun was stunned, then he smiled and said, “Even if you want to swap, Master would not agree.”
“I just made a joke.” Yang Ming changed this topic indifferently, “Senior apprentice, is the Land Rover at the door yours?”
When Yang Ming saw Dong Jun here, he thought of this possibility. Dong Jun was very fond of cars. This Land Rover Discovery 4 was most probably his. Otherwise, others would have no way to get this. This car just came out not long ago, and there were only a few overseas.
“It’s mine. How is it? Not bad, right?” Dong Jun said with a smile, “This car has just been imported from abroad, and it has only been a few days since it landed here.”
“Not bad. It’s very powerful.” Yang Ming nodded. “Senior must’ve spent a lot of money on these every year, right?”
“Yeah, hehe.” Dong Jun smiled. “Don’t talk about this. Are we leaving now?”
“It’s almost time to go. Let’s go.” Fang Tian nodded.
The three men went out together. Yang Ming sat in the front seat position, and Fang Tian sat in the back.
Dong Jun started the car and slowly left the villa area.
“Senior apprentice, does this car have a Mount Jing license?” After Yang Ming got in the car, he smiled and asked, “Why don’t you put one on from Song Jiang?”
