Chapter 104 The boss is crazy about greed

At three o'clock in the morning, Tiananmen Square was crowded with people. Young and middle-aged people, students, children, the elderly, and even many people with mobility problems were all waiting in line.

Waiting for the moment when the national flag of our great motherland slowly rises against the morning sun.

No one felt cold or tired, only anticipation and excitement for that touch of red.

After several hours of waiting, I finally heard the deafening sound of the powerful goose-stepping.

Like everyone else, Xizhi was also very excited.

In the past, she felt very excited just by watching the video, but when she was actually there, she truly felt the pride, honor, and indescribable excitement.

The national anthem played, and the bright five-star red flag slowly rose against the first rays of the morning sun. At that moment, Xizhi's eyes couldn't help but flash with tears of excitement.

Many people were like Xizhi. The unique sense of pride that belongs only to Chinese people made them sing the national anthem loudly together.

Next to Xizhi was an old man wearing an old military uniform. His hair was all gray and he was held up by his two sons. The old man sang the national anthem in a loud and full voice with full energy. The tears in his eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

It was a grand and pious ceremony.

After it was over, everyone was still restless for a long time.

Xizhi asked Song Meimei to help hold up the phone and take pictures, and she chatted with the veteran for a few words.

The old man is a veteran who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and his feelings for the motherland are stronger than those of ordinary people.

"I'm so happy to see our country so strong and so good... How wonderful it would be if all my old friends were still alive..."

Among the foreigners standing nearby, there was an old man with gray hair who was also wiping his tears. When he saw Xizhi and the others taking pictures with their mobile phones, he thought it was an interview.

He also took the initiative to come over and talk.

"Hello."

After saying hello in not very fluent Chinese, he started speaking English.

"I'm from Türkiye and I was really shocked. This is something I haven't experienced in my country, with so many young people gathered here.

Just to see the national flag rising, it was so crazy and touching. Although this is not my country, my tears fell.

When they sang the national anthem together, I got goosebumps. I was really shocked. You all love your country so much..."

Next to him was a foreign young man with a nose stud, earrings, and tattoos all over his neck, who was also in tears.

He said: "I don't know what to say, I just want to cry, I really don't know how to say it, I like this place very much, I think it's great..."

His companion, a young British man, said: "The cohesion of the Chinese people is incredible. I now understand why China has become so strong and number one in the world. No other country can do this.

No one is as united and loves their country as the Chinese, it’s really great.”

The flag-raising ceremony has ended, and many people looked at the five-star red flag fluttering in the air for a long time and were reluctant to leave.

Xizhi and Song Meimei woke up early and didn't feel sleepy. They went straight to check out some delicious food. The soy milk and fried dough sticks in the alley almost made them vomit. Fortunately, the mending meat pie saved the day.

After visiting two pre-booked check-in spots, the two of them had Kyoto noodles for lunch, then went back to the hotel to check out, pick up their luggage, and headed straight to the station.

On the way back, everything was fine at first. Xizhi edited the video and photos of today's flag-raising ceremony and posted them on the platform.

Song Meimei beside me was already fast asleep.

She could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

The two of them slept until their phones rang wildly before they opened their eyes.

"Zhizhi, your phone is ringing."

"Hmm... I'm so sleepy."

"Mr. Huo called. Zhizhi, wake up. We're almost at the station. Tell Mr. Huo that we need to get our things and get off the bus."

"oh!"

The train will arrive at the station in ten minutes.

Xizhi picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Wake up, it's time to get off the bus, grab your things."

"Um...Boss Huo, your call is just in time. Mua~ Let's pack up and get out of the car first."

"Well, after exiting the station, take the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, Building A area. I've sent you the route map on WeChat."

"Uh... okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xizhi drank some water to sober up and hurried to get her luggage.

After a while, the car stopped and everyone got off in a hurry.

Xizhi showed Song Meimei the route map sent by Huo Yanting, and the two of them easily found the place he mentioned.

After stopping, Xizhi made a phone call, and soon a black Maybach stopped in front of them.

The rear door and the driver's door opened simultaneously.

Assistant Chen and Huo Yanting got out of the car at the same time.

Huo Yanting looked at the woman who was still in a daze after not seeing her for three days. The floating feeling in his heart finally settled down when he hugged her.

Assistant Chen moved very quickly. He had already placed the two suitcases in the car and came around to open the passenger door.

"Ms. Song, please get in the car."

Song Meimei originally wanted to take a taxi and leave directly, but now the cars behind her were waiting in line, and her suitcase was already in someone else's car, so she didn't refuse pretentiously.

"Thank you, handsome."

She also experienced the feeling of being served.

So cool.

The car started slowly.

The man held Xizhi's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Zhizhi, thanks to you, I'm riding in such an expensive luxury car for the first time in my life. It feels so good."

Xizhi: "Then I am blessed by Boss Toho, haha..."

Song Meimei: "Then I'll ask for your help. Thank you, handsome driver, for taking me to Jintang Road."

Xizhi: "That won't work. I have to go eat first and then I can send you off. Has Boss Huo arranged a place for dinner?"

"Um."

It's already seven o'clock.

Xizhi and Song Meimei were already hungry.

Assistant Chen said, "Ms. Yan, Ms. Song, let's go eat first. We've booked a table at Xihe's Private Kitchen. It's in a good location, and it's convenient to send Ms. Song home after dinner, and it's also convenient to go back to Tanyuan."

Xihejia is one of the best private restaurants in Haicheng. Reservations have to be made three days in advance and a table is hard to come by.

Song Meimei became excited again and wanted to speak. She turned around and saw a man with a strong aura hugging Xizhi tightly, letting her head rest on his chest.

Song Meimei was too embarrassed to look at that disgusting look any longer.

He quickly turned his head and looked straight ahead.

Chen Yi was very tactful and opened the partition to separate the front from the back.

And turned on the music. The boss was so greedy that he couldn't wait even a minute.

The moment the partition was opened, Xizhi's head was held by the man and a passionate kiss followed.
