Chapter 118: Chinese Education, You Win!
"Sure, you can have her come over later, around the 21st or 22nd. I'll contact you then."
They were all mentored by the same teacher, and among them, she, Pei Yi'an, and Tang Wanhua had the best relationship.
She naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request.
Pei Yi'an placed a piece of food on Ji Linghe's plate: "Thank you. If you need anything, you can come to the office to find me. I should be here unless I'm out on fieldwork."
Ji Linghe waved her hand: "It's nothing serious."
Seeing how easily the matter was resolved, Pei Yutang felt a surge of joy.
She tugged at Pei Yi'an's sleeve and asked, "Auntie, will I have a chance to play?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Linghe smiled and said bluntly, "No, my dear niece."
“You’re too inexperienced right now and not capable of handling the job. If we let you go, things are likely to go wrong.”
"Let's gain more experience."
Pei Yutang's smile froze on her face.
If you agree to something so easily, does that mean you're just agreeing to let her watch from the sidelines? What's the difference between that and not doing anything at all?
Pei Yutang never imagined that such an opportunity was something her classmates could only dream of.
Pei Yi'an remained silent, while Ji Linghe continued to offer her suggestions.
"If you ask me, you should finish the CATTI exam, then ask Senior Sister Pei to arrange for you to get into the company, and start working slowly."
"Even though there will be a lot of challenges once you join the company, at least you can learn something."
Pei Yi'an didn't deny it and touched Pei Yutang's hair.
“Your Aunt Linghe is right. These things can’t be rushed. We can only take it one step at a time.”
"Whether it's basic spoken English, listening comprehension, or even courage, it all comes down to practice gradually. You can't achieve your goals by being impatient for quick results."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yutang immediately lowered her eyes, concealing the disappointment within them.
She obediently replied, "Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."
She already has such a great network of connections, so why did she have to start from the bottom?
Do you want others to suffer the same hardships you've endured?
Pei Yutang felt a sense of irony.
The two were catching up and neither noticed.
Next door, Tang Wanhua's business deal was almost finalized.
"Alright, then we'll take our leave now. The rest of the content can be done according to the contract."
Jiang's father smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang's father helped Tang Wanhua open the door.
Jiang Tingbai stood obediently behind her father.
"Goodbye, Sister Yihuan."
Xu Yihuan smiled and nodded casually, "Okay, goodbye."
He followed Tang Wanhua out the door, just as they were about to leave.
A voice came from behind.
"Senior Sister Wanhua!!"
Tang Wanhua and Xu Yihuan stopped at the same time.
They all turned their heads to look behind them.
The three people were standing not far from them, and Ji Linghe waved to them.
Upon seeing Pei Yi'an and Pei Yutang, Xu Yihuan's expression involuntarily turned somber.
She clutched the bag she had brought tightly in her hand.
Pei Yi'an clearly didn't expect to run into them here.
He stammered, "Wanhua, Huanhuan, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Yes, Pei..." Before she could finish speaking, Tang Wanhua interrupted her.
Tang Wanhua sneered twice, her words laced with sarcasm: "What? You own this hotel? Can't we even come?"
Pei Yi'an took two steps forward, wanting to explain: "That's not what I meant."
Tang Wanhua took two steps back to create some distance, rolling her eyes: "Who cares what you mean?"
Then she looked at Ji Linghe, her expression changing to a gentle smile: "Junior Sister, what are you doing here?"
Ji Linghe is the youngest junior sister among them, and everyone dotes on her.
Even though she had a conflict with Pei Yi'an back then, it didn't affect their relationship with Ji Linghe at all.
"I'm here to eat with Senior Sister. Is Senior Sister Wanhua here to eat too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang's father came out of the private room with several people.
Saying goodbye to Tang Wanhua.
"Teacher Tang, we'll be going now."
Tang Wanhua nodded, then said to Ji Linghe, "Yes, I have some work to take care of here."
Ji Linghe nodded in understanding.
"It's been so long since we've seen you, Senior Sister Wanhua. Senior Sister Pei and I have missed you terribly."
Tang Wanhua smiled and looked at Pei Yi'an beside her.
"Really? Not necessarily."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yi'an looked up at Tang Wanhua and explained, "It's true, everything Junior Sister Ji said is true."
Tang Wanhua scoffed, "Oh, so what?"
"Huanhuan, let's go."
After saying that, Tang Wanhua turned and left with Xu Yihuan.
The three of them were left standing there.
Ji Linghe looked somewhat guilty: "Senior Sister Pei, you and Senior Sister Tang are still having a fight..."
Pei Yi'an smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
Pei Yutang stood there, her eyes dark as she watched the two figures leave.
Isn't that the Jiang family?
So Tang Wanhua is going to take Xu Yihuan to cooperate with the Jiang family?
Pei Yutang bit her lip, her face full of defiance.
Why is Xu Yihuan so lucky? How did she manage to win Tang Wanhua's favor?
And here she is, eating with someone who is nobody?
Jealousy grows wildly like spring buds, entangles the heart, and suffocates.
Tang Wanhua led Xu Yihuan downstairs.
A cool breeze blew by, and both of them felt much more awake.
"What, you know Pei Yi'an?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan remained calm: "Have you forgotten? At the last presentation, it was Director Pei who came."
Tang Wanhua slapped her forehead: "Look at me, how could I forget about this?"
I don't know if it's a side effect of alcohol.
Tang Wanhua mocked without any restraint: "Pei Yi'an is really something else. He's really not picky when it comes to promoting his family."
Pei Yutang is in her class, how could she not recognize her?
Pei Yutang is impatient, competitive, and impractical.
Whether in officialdom or business, this is a major taboo.
I never expected Pei Yi'an to support her.
Hearing Tang Wanhua's words, Xu Yihuan did not respond, her mind already wandering elsewhere.
Tang Wanhua turned her head and glanced at Xu Yihuan.
She curled her lips into a charming smile: "Alright, look at you."
"Do you want me to take you home? I've been drinking, so I'll need to call a designated driver."
It's not far from Kyoto University; it's only four subway stops away.
Xu Yihuan shook her head: "No need, teacher. You should go back and get some rest."
"I'll just take the subway back later."
Tang Wanhua did not refuse.
He simply added, "Okay, let me know when you get to your dorm."
Xu Yihuan nodded and turned to walk towards the subway entrance.
The young girl was wearing a formal suit, and right in front of her was a cold office building.
The streets are crisscrossed.
She stood alone at the intersection, her direction resolute.
Tang Wanhua smiled and took out her phone to call a designated driver.
Xu Yihuan walked towards the subway entrance.
The image of Pei Yutang standing next to Pei Yi'an kept flashing through his mind.
My heart felt a mix of emotions.
I never imagined that I would see my mother again in such a scene.
Xu Yihuan walked along, feeling utterly lost.
She should probably find an opportunity to ask her mother.
But this was the first time she had encountered something like this...
Xu Yihuan was a little tired from walking after wearing high heels for too long.
They happened to arrive at a bus stop, and Xu Yihuan plopped down to rest.
Anyway, there's no rush, it's the same if I go back later.
Xu Yihuan hunched over, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the asphalt road, lost in thought.
Just then, a car with its lights on drove towards them.
Xu Yihuan subconsciously turned her head to look over.
You can only see the car logo when you get close.
It's a very ordinary Volkswagen.
The bus driver arrogantly occupied the bus lane and stopped in front of Xu Yihuan.
The moment the car window rolled down, a delicate and alluring face appeared before Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan's heart started beating again at that moment.
