Since Sanwa had to go on a business trip, he couldn't drive his own car to the airport, so his mother arranged for someone to take him.

Li Huai's current rank means he not only has a dedicated car with high security, but also a considerable number of guards and support staff.

However, he still doesn't like too many people living in his house, and prefers to have as few people as possible.

As for Zhao Qinglan, although she doesn't manage the group's affairs, she controls the majority of the group's shares and remains an invisible queen.

She was impatient with the traffic in Beijing and hired a private driver to take her around whenever she needed.

The driver lived right outside their compound, and Zhao Qinglan could simply ask for his help whenever she needed the car.

They could have arranged for people to stay in their house, but Zhao Qinglan didn't want to.

Knowing that her son was going to the airport, Zhao Qinglan wasn't reluctant to part with him and simply contacted a driver to take him there.

Sanwa is fluent in foreign languages ​​and travels abroad frequently. Even though he is traveling alone this time, he is not flustered at all.

After the driver dropped him off at the airport, he sent the driver back and went inside with his suitcase.

With some time before boarding, he sat in the coffee shop and opened his laptop to look at some information.

"Mr. Xie, you haven't eaten yet. Would you like to have something to eat first?" the thoughtful secretary suggested.

Considering the long flight time, Xie Yunyun nodded even though she didn't have much of an appetite.

They also dragged their luggage into the coffee shop.

After putting her things down and sitting down, Xie Yunyun went to order food, and, feeling bored, started looking around.

She was stunned when she saw it.

Professor Li? She rubbed her eyes. It was indeed him; she couldn't possibly mistake him for someone else.

Her heart began to pound wildly.

Many years later, she unexpectedly met Professor Li again.

The third child was so focused on his notebook that he didn't even notice someone staring at him.

The secretary returned with two cups of coffee and placed them on the table. She noticed her boss staring in one direction and looked over curiously.

"Mr. Xie, what are you looking at?"

"Ah!" Xie Yunyun panicked for a moment and accidentally bumped into the nearest cup of coffee, causing chaos in the room.

The secretary quickly gave her some paper to wipe it off, and the restaurant staff also came over to clean it up.

Such a commotion attracted the attention of the rest of the restaurant staff.

Xie Yunyun was afraid that Professor Li would see her in such a disheveled state, so she covered her face with her bag.

Sanwa wasn't one to enjoy crowds. He glanced at the spilled coffee, muttered "clumsy fool" under his breath, and then went back to looking at his things.

Xie Yunyun peeked in a panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Professor Li was not paying attention to her.

The secretary was Xie Yunyun's confidante, having followed her before she climbed to her current position. She had never seen her boss act like this before, and found it very strange.

In her memory, President Xie was an absolute strong woman. She always maintained a calm demeanor in the face of any difficulties and told everyone that everything was fine. Of course, she was also seen by many as a ruthless female devil.

In just the last two months, President Xie has dealt with several people who were not obedient to her.

"Mr. Xie, are you feeling unwell?" the secretary asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Xie Yunyun regained some composure, but after sitting down, she deliberately turned to the side.

The secretary, puzzled, stared at the direction her boss had just looked in for a few more times before turning her gaze away with some confusion.

When the waiter brought over their food, Xie Yunyun quickly ate a few bites and then hurriedly told her secretary to leave.

After escaping the coffee shop, Xie Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief.

The secretary hesitated, suppressing her curiosity to investigate.

Xie Yunyun thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, after boarding the plane, she saw Professor Li already seated in the business class.

She quickly went to the back of the economy class to find her secretary and asked to change seats.

The secretary wouldn't dare.

"Mr. Xie, what's wrong with you today?"

Xie Yunyun didn't know how to explain, so she just vaguely said, "There's an old friend over there, and I don't want to run into him."

The secretary suddenly realized what was happening and immediately changed seats.

After sitting down, Xie Yunyun began to regret her decision.

Why is she so timid? Professor Li isn't even in the same row as her. She could have sat comfortably in business class and maybe even caught a few more glances at Professor Li.

The secretary, who had switched to business class, looked around like she was exploring a mystery, and that's when she spotted the conspicuous third child.

People with outstanding looks are already memorable, not to mention, she remembered that her boss was looking in the direction this person was sitting in the coffee shop.

No wonder Mr. Xie was acting strangely today; it must be because of this person.

Judging from Mr. Xie's appearance, he doesn't seem to have any grudges. So, who could this be? Could this be Mr. Xie's ex-boyfriend? The secretary couldn't help but imagine a dramatic love-hate relationship.

After boarding the plane, Sanwa looked at some things for a while, then closed his eyes to rest.

When the plane landed in the foreign country, Sanwa was picked up by someone after leaving the airport.

It was a staff member from the event organizer who picked him up and took him to the hotel he had booked.

Xie Yunyun lingered behind him, watching the person leave from afar before daring to go out with her secretary.

Since the target had already been identified, her actions seemed to confirm her secretary's suspicions.

Mr. Xie is so afraid to see that person, could it be that he did something wrong to her in the past and feels guilty?

Could it be that Mr. Xie started this relationship only to abandon me later?

Ahem, it's not good for Mr. Xie to think like that. Secretary, please quickly forget this absurd idea.

But she couldn't help feeling a pang of regret; that guy was so handsome.

She had wondered before what kind of partner a good-looking and strong woman like Ms. Xie should find. The man in question seemed more than a match for her.

With Professor Li no longer in sight, Xie Yunyun finally returned to her usual self.

She and her secretary were not picked up, so they took a taxi to the hotel to check in.

After only a short rest at the hotel to adjust to the time difference, she changed her clothes, put on exquisite makeup, and went out to work.

She spoke fluent English when talking to clients, which drew admiration from her highly educated secretary standing nearby.

When those people were cursing and being jealous of President Xie, did they ever really understand how outstanding President Xie is, or how hard he works in private?

To this day, President Xie remains a role model for many female employees in their company.

She single-handedly fought her way out of a workplace that was not very friendly to women, working hard while also pursuing a part-time postgraduate degree.

And that fluent spoken English is the result of countless hours of hard work.

Besides English, Mr. Xie also knows some basic French and Japanese.

Meeting clients, negotiating, dining, discussing, attending banquets.

Xie Yunyun and her secretary worked tirelessly for three days to finalize this business trip assignment.

“It’s not easy to go abroad, so I’ll give you half a day off. Go out and go shopping,” she said.

"Mr. Xie, aren't you going? I heard that cosmetics and bags are on sale here and are much cheaper than in China."

Xie Yunyun was somewhat tempted.

Now that she's in her current position, her outfits naturally need to be more upscale, and buying them abroad can save her money.

"Then let's go together."

Meanwhile, Sanwa finally finished attending the three-day international conference.
