“It’s me, Zhiyou.” She quickly spoke up, the call was on speakerphone and Yang Mogui was listening next to her.
There was a moment of delay before a “Hmm” came from the other end, the tone was calm, as though they were listening to a piece of irrelevant social news.
Lu Weixi didn’t mind, she asked first: “Are you coming back tonight?”
There was a slight pause in his breathing on the other end, but she couldn’t see his face through the phone. She couldn’t tell if he was frowning or pursing his lips. After a while, he asked in a somewhat serious tone, “Why are you asking this? Do you want me to come back?”
Lu Weixi naturally nodded: “Yes, I do.”
There was a prolonged silence on the other end. Lu Weixi waited for a while. Yang Mogui beside her seemed to have grown impatient. The voice on the other end seemed somewhat unsteady. She guessed that Qin Zhiyou was about to curse. Quickly, she brought Yang Mogui into the conversation, “Of course, mom misses you too.”
As expected, after she said that the somewhat unsteady breathing on the phone paused. Then Qin Zhiyou’s tone softened, “Mom is with you, right? Hand the phone to her.”
Lu Weixi was startled and surprised that Qin Zhiyou had guessed so quickly. As the phone was on speaker, she looked back at Mrs. Yang, and Yang Mogui naturally took the phone from her. “When are you coming back? Neglecting health for work every day? When will your work be done? Where are you now?”
After hanging up, Yang Mogui handed the phone back to Lu Weixi. Guessing that Qin Zhiyou had said something to her, she seemed much calmer. She simply said, “Take the soup to him later.”
Lu Weixi was taken aback. Qin Zhiyou had just reassured her, why this?
Yang Mogui said very normally, “Zhiyou is busy. He went to the shipyard a couple of days ago, so he can’t come back. His flight lands at Yan City at three this afternoon, you go wait for him at the airport. Even if my son gets back to Yan City today, he still has a lot of work to do; he probably won’t be coming back for the next two days.”
Lu Weixi suddenly understood, no wonder Qin Zhiyou hadn’t come back for a few days, he was out of town.
The Hanhai Group’s fiftieth anniversary event was approaching, and the maiden voyage of Hanhai Group’s cruise line was also in the works. The Hanhai Group had no intention of expanding into the tourism sector, and had no interest in the maritime industry. But the development of a company always needs to find new growth points.
This cruise line company is an iconic European brand. A year ago, Qin Zhiyou injected funds into this nearly bankrupt company and bought ten percent of its shares. Therefore, when this company was planning its China route, it would consider the Hanhai Group’s ideas first. This new ship named after the company: “Hanhai”.
Purchasing the cruise liner served two purposes. One was to provide a venue for their events. Second, the ship sailed into international waters where there was no mobile signal and regular Internet only transmitted via satellite. Furthermore, international waters are a lawless area, only governed by international law. For some contracts, for safety’s sake, it would be best to negotiate in international waters.
Yang Mogui frowned, “I’ll have my assistant drive you there later, and you bring the soup. My assistant will tell you his flight details later.”
Asking her assistant to drive meant she wanted to make sure Lu Weixi was sent to the airport. She didn’t want her to drive back, hoping she could catch a ride with Qin Zhiyou and build a good relationship with him.
It must be said, Mrs. Yang was going all out to foster a sense of marriage between them..
