Chapter 167 Partner
As soon as she entered the room, Li Xiaoqiu handed her the visa and said, "Okay, it's done."
"Let me tell you something funny. When my assistant went to apply for a visa, the embassy staff told her that she really liked you and that she wanted to watch 'The Chase' when it started airing."
Lin Xi took the visa and pinched Li Xiaoqiu's cheek. "Thank you, and thank your assistant for me. I'll bring her a gift when I get back."
Chen Qianyu turned around and asked, "Is there any gift for me?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Of course, how could I forget you?"
"What do you want, lipstick or perfume?"
Chen Qianyu said excitedly: "Lipstick, lipstick, of course it's lipstick."
Lin Xi smiled and gave her an OK sign.
Yang Shuyi sat at the desk with a gloomy face.
She just clearly heard Li Xiaoqiu mention assistant.
How does she have an assistant?
She is a student, but she has an assistant!
Haha, I don’t know why she needs an assistant. Apart from occasionally applying for a visa, does that mean the assistant just sleeps at home every day?
Yang Shuyi has rarely stayed in the dormitory recently and spends most of her time studying in the library.
But now it was almost time to go to bed, so she had to go back to the dormitory. Who knew that they would trick her again?
She bit her lip, not knowing when there would be any news from Butler Chen.
She was really fed up with this kind of life, watching people showing off every day!
The visa was approved, and after contacting them, the departure date was also set, and Li Xiaoqiu was responsible for booking the air tickets.
Lin Xi is responsible for asking the counselor for leave.
The instructor was a young man in his early thirties. After hearing Lin Xi's request for leave, he said in embarrassment, "Your leave is too long. Over a month. If other students knew about it, they would have objections. I can't say anything to the teachers either."
Lin Xi clasped her hands together and said, "Teacher, please, please, I have no choice."
Finally, Lin Xi persuaded the instructor, and although he agreed, he said seriously, "I won't say anything else. If you do well in the final exam, I will have something to say to the teacher who recognized you. If your test results are not up to par with your college entrance examination score, don't even think about asking for leave in the future."
Lin Xi could only say: "Teacher, I will do my best."
Lin Xi turned around and went to the library to sign up for a bunch of books and brought them back to the dormitory. She put a few of them in the box and placed the rest in the space.
As for the freshman textbooks, she had already finished reading them all.
The day before departure, Lin Xi had just finished class when she unexpectedly saw Anna at the dormitory door.
Anna did not leave the Flower Kingdom. She traveled around alone. She first went to see the Terracotta Warriors and took a tour of the Magic City. She was going to continue to travel around, but she couldn't contact Daniel for several days, and even Lin Xi's phone was unreachable. She felt a little uneasy and decided to return to the capital.
The first thing Anna said when she saw Lin Xi was, "Do you know where Daniel is? I can't contact him at all, and there's no one in his dormitory."
Lin Xi asked in surprise: "Isn't he in the dormitory? I haven't seen him for a long time. I used to run into him in the school cafeteria sometimes."
"Have you asked the teachers in their department?"
Anna looked a little anxious, "I asked, and they all said that they haven't seen Daniel for a while, and no one knows where he went."
"I've been to his dorm, and some of his clothes and daily necessities are still there. It doesn't look like he's been anywhere."
"If he were traveling, he would definitely call me."
Lin Xi also looked anxious. "What should we do? I think we should call the police."
It is a normal reaction to call the police, and it is abnormal not to call the police.
Anna was about to cry. "He's been missing for more than half a month. My God, I have a bad feeling."
Lin Xi couldn't say that your premonition was accurate, so she gently comforted her, "How about this, I'll accompany you to the police station to report the crime."
She accompanied Anna to the nearby police station. Anna's Chinese was limited to "hello and thank you", and it was Lin Xi who communicated with the police throughout the whole process.
When the police heard that the missing person had been missing for quite some time, they quickly filed a case and asked Anna to wait for news.
Anna left the hotel's phone number and her own cell phone number.
However, the police also told Anna, "Generally speaking, missing persons cases like this are difficult to solve. You have to be mentally prepared."
Lin Xi translated the police's words to Anna, who was about to cry.
Lin Xi took her out of the police station and treated her to a meal nearby.
Hearing that Lin Xi was about to go to Baiguo, Anna said dejectedly: "I should go back too. I really don't have the heart to travel around now."
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Xi began to make the final check before departure. While looking at the suitcase, she received a call from Song Huaijin.
She stood up and walked to the balcony to answer it.
When the call was connected, Lin Xi apologized first, "My phone was tapped before, so those words—I'm really sorry."
Song Huaijin didn't care, "Old Wang told me everything, you don't have to say sorry to me."
"By the way, I'll go with you to the White Country this time."
Before Lin Xi could say anything, he continued, "I've already applied to Lao Wang to return to the institute, and Lao Wang has approved it. I'll slowly hand over the company's affairs to the two vice presidents."
"This time, I will be responsible for delivering the intelligence Zhou Ying obtained to you, and also cooperating with your rescue operation."
Lin Xi was silent, and Song Huaijin continued, "I've discussed it with Lao Wang, and from now on my identity will be your godfather—don't get me wrong, it's not the kind that's popular nowadays."
When Lin Xi heard the word "godfather", she couldn't help but chuckle, "That's not good, I may lack fatherly love, but I can't really find a father for myself."
Song Huaijin lowered his voice, "You lack fatherly love, isn't it good for me to give you fatherly love?"
As long as he could love her, he didn't care who he was.
He even felt that this identity was better, as he could approach her and pamper her with justification, without any psychological burden.
He didn't need her to return any feelings, he just wanted to give her everything he could.
Lin Xi listened to Song Huaijin's words and shook her head firmly, "No, I can't treat you as my godfather. We are partners."
"How about this, you can come with me. With your cooperation, I will be more confident in this rescue operation. However, you can only go with me as a friend."
Song Huaijin sighed silently, "That's fine, but if we go together, the media will probably make up stories and write something that might affect your reputation."
Lin Xi said softly: "It doesn't matter, I never care about these things."
"Okay then, I'll wait for you outside the school at noon tomorrow and we'll go to the airport together."
The next day at noon, after lunch, Li Xiaoqiu dragged Lin Xi's suitcase and sent her to the school gate.
Song Huaijin's car arrived and stopped on the side of the road a moment later.
When Li Xiaoqiu saw Song Huaijin get out of the car and take the suitcase from her hand, she was speechless. She looked at Lin Xi, "He, Uncle Song, he——"
