Chapter 344 Two arch-rivals clash: What a coincidence, you're going abroad too? Me too!
Above the clouds.
Dining room.
While arranging the plates, Wang Ma secretly glanced at the two people sitting opposite each other, eating without saying a word.
Did you have a fight?
I don't think I heard anything!
"Miss Pei, your soup." Wang Ma put the soup down and gently reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang."
Pei Jinwu smiled slightly, and while drinking her soup, she glanced at the man opposite her, her pink lips moving guiltily: "I might be going abroad for a few days next week?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing the little girl's words, Shang Shiyan, who was wondering how to find an excuse, suddenly looked up: "Which country? What's the matter?"
"Country M".
Pei Jinwu put down her spoon, picked up a chicken wing and started gnawing on it, answering vaguely, "Professor Tong is participating in the World Programming Competition finals, and he's a little nervous going alone, so he brought me along."
Country M?
What an absurd coincidence!
Shang Shiyan stiffened, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Approximately when should we go?"
"Departing on Friday."
Pei Jinwu wasn't very good at lying, so she simply lowered her head and ate her chicken wings, naturally avoiding the other person's gaze: "The competition is on Saturday, and I'll take a short rest over the weekend and come back on Monday."
Eat slowly.
Shang Shiyan picked up a tissue and wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, saying gently, "I happen to be going to the US on a business trip next week."
"?"
Pei Jinwu opened her eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression, "You're going to the US too?"
"yes."
Shang Shiyan curled his thin lips, raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Isn't it a coincidence?"
"The consortium has a collaboration deal with a large sum of money that I need to negotiate in person."
"It happened to be the weekend."
"After we finish discussing the collaboration, we can come back together on Monday."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu stared at Shang Shiyan and found that what he said made a lot of sense.
only--
How can it be the United States?
fine.
The two haven't officially announced their relationship; they've kept it well hidden.
No matter how powerful the leader of the S Alliance is, that old bastard could never discover it.
"OK."
After a few seconds of silence, Pei Jinwu responded softly, "I'll rest at the hotel this weekend. You go and handle your work."
"good."
Shang Shiyan nodded and put some food into her bowl, his expression full of affection.
It will be soon.
Once the "ghosts" in the dungeon are dealt with, no one will be able to threaten the little girl anymore.
——
Friday.
Wang Ma had packed their things for the two of them in advance.
Feng Xing and Feng Zhi were already waiting at the door in their cars.
After breakfast.
Shang Shiyan pulled Pei Jinwu outside and asked in a low voice, "A car has already been sent to pick up Professor Tong."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu climbed into the carriage and had just sat down when she received a voice message from Professor Tong.
Professor Tong: "Xiao Pei, what's with the people in black at the door? They said you sent them to pick me up?"
"Who uses a Rolls-Royce to pick someone up? I've never seen such a nice car in my life."
Pei Jinwu couldn't help but smile and immediately replied, "Don't worry, just follow the people who are picking you up to the airport."
Professor Tong: "You only promised to pay for my airfare and accommodation, but you're not going to expect me to pay for the hired car, are you?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu was speechless.
This is the first time I've met someone who's even more concerned about money than I am.
——
The two arrived at the airport ahead of time.
To avoid any unnecessary trouble caused by Shang Shiyan's identity, they had no choice but to enter the VIP room.
Pei Jinwu stood at the door waiting for Professor Tong.
Not long after.
Professor Tong arrived at the airport, pushing his suitcase and glancing back at the car repeatedly: "Xiao Pei, this car is really nice, how much is the fare?"
"It's free."
Pei Jinwu smiled and answered honestly, "Did you bring all your documents?"
"Yes, I brought it."
As Professor Tong was checking his bag for his documents, a Mercedes suddenly pulled up to the side of the road.
Immediately afterwards.
Professor Sun, dressed in a sharp suit and looking very respectable, walked confidently toward the entrance, surrounded by several assistants.
He spotted Professor Tong at a glance, dressed in a wrinkled Brazilian suit, worn-out gray leather shoes, and with alternating black and white hair.
snort.
A professor of such stature shouldn't even bother to take care of himself.
All I know is that he's going abroad to participate in a competition.
If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some kind of beggar.
"Old Tong."
Professor Sun stepped forward, stopped next to Professor Tong, and said sarcastically, "Are we on the same flight?"
"Right?"
Professor Tong looked at Pei Jinwu; Pei was handling the plane tickets.
There seems to be only one flight to country M at this time.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Professor Sun became even more arrogant and continued in a sarcastic tone: "It should be first class, right? Perfect, we can discuss the competition later."
First class?
Although the girl kept saying she would cover his travel expenses, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
I was thinking of giving her the money after I got reimbursed.
Economy class.
Professor Tong answered without hesitation, a smile on his face.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter where he sits.
The money from first class would be enough for him to do a lot of research.
No need.
Economy class?
Professor Sun got more and more excited as he spoke, his face full of sarcasm: "Economy class is crowded and smelly, I'm used to traveling in first class."
"..."
Professor Tong glanced at him, knowing that the other party was showing off, and was too lazy to waste his breath arguing with him.
"I was going to upgrade you to a cabin, but..."
Professor Sun paused for two seconds, his sarcasm deepening: "We're at different levels, so the school's subsidies are naturally different. If I really upgraded you to first class, I wouldn't be able to get reimbursed."
The implied meaning.
Professor Tong should be sitting in economy class, and then watching him enviously as he sits in first class.
"No, no need."
Professor Tong packed his documents, picked up his luggage, and said to Pei Jinwu, "Little Pei, let's go."
My good mood was ruined by some old geezers.
What's wrong with first class?
On the same plane, how could he arrive first?
Isn't it the same as him, with all four wheels on the ground at the same time?!
snort.
They talk about all sorts of nonsense all day long.
"good."
Pei Jinwu kept his hands in his pockets and didn't say a word the whole time, only responding faintly after Professor Tong spoke.
The two walked towards the entrance.
"snort."
Seeing Professor Tong's frustrated expression, Professor Sun felt extremely relieved.
First class?
Professor Tong probably has never even seen what the inside of a first-class cabin looks like in his entire life!
With such limited understanding, you still want to argue with him?
Overestimating one's abilities.
——
"Xiao Pei, our flight is at 2:30, right?"
Professor Tong remained unaffected, adjusting his reading glasses to look at the airport's large screen, and asked curiously, "Is this the flight I'm on?"
"no."
Pei Jinwu glanced at it and answered indifferently.
"no?"
Professor Tong frowned and asked in confusion, "Is this the only flight to the M country? Don't get the time wrong, or you'll miss the competition."
"rest assured."
Pei Jinwu took the suitcase from his hand and said, "Let's take a private jet."
"oh."
Professor Tong responded softly, then quickly realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise, "A private jet?"
Oh my god.
How much would that cost?
How many years would it take him to save up his secret savings to pay off the debt?
——
There will be more updates.
