Ye Chen did not concern himself with other business matters, as these were not his areas of expertise. Instead, he conducted a detailed investigation and discussion on the welfare home and the academy.
Several hours later, when Yufei walked out of the room, she felt a thin layer of sweat on her back.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, she quickly regained her composure and led the group of leaders back to the office area. Ye Chen had brought up many things today, and she didn't have time to waste; she needed to quickly put together a feasible plan.
Guo Chong and Liu Xueyi followed behind her, their hearts filled with trepidation. Neither of them wanted to lose their jobs, especially since the treatment at Duobao Group was truly excellent.
After Yufei and the others left, Ye Chen also came out of the room. He played with the children in the orphanage for a while, chatted with Xiao Chan, and then left with Ye Chen.
Xiao Chan's matter is not urgent, and he will not leave Blue Star so soon. At least he will have to wait until Si Meng returns. Moreover, Xia Qingyi and the others also need time to familiarize themselves with the affairs of Duobao Group.
A week later, Si Meng finally returned to the Blue Star plane. She only needs to wait for the registration and review process to be completed before she can return to Blue Star.
During this week, Ye Chen and the others spent most of their time at the welfare home and the academy, living with the children and deepening their understanding of the facilities.
He even pretended to be an ordinary external teacher and taught a few classes at the college.
If we're being strict about it, Ye Chen has lived for several decades now, making him older than most people here. He's also read more books and has more knowledge than anyone else.
However, because he spends most of his time in the territory and holds a high position, he inevitably neglects interpersonal relationships. But his dignified demeanor is just right for a teacher.
Although no one knew that Ye Chen was a lord, all the students listened attentively to his classes and benefited greatly from them.
"I said, she only returned to Earth this morning, why did you drag me here in such a hurry? It'll be a while before we pick her up from the airport!" Outside the embassy, Ye Chen yawned and looked at the fat man with a helpless expression.
This guy woke him up at four in the morning and left at six to pick up Si Meng from the airport. What the hell? She might not even have arrived on Earth by then. What are you trying to do?
Sure enough, after waiting until ten o'clock, Ye Chen finally received a message from Si Meng that she was already at the embassy completing the formalities. During this time, Ye Chen had already taken a nap in the car.
"Oh dear, what if she comes back early?" the fat man said, sounding slightly excited and nervous. He was dressed in a sharp suit and even had his hair slicked back, all thanks to advice from the elite staff in the science park. He wondered what Si Meng would think if she saw him.
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with him. Men in love always have a lower IQ, not to mention that fat men don't have much of an IQ to begin with...
Soon, Si Meng, dressed in an eye-catching palace-style ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), walked out of the embassy. The lord, who had been in the territory for a long time, was used to some retro clothing, but this ruqun perfectly accentuated her beauty, making her the most beautiful sight outside the embassy.
"Tsk~~~ Some people go out to see the scenery, while others are scenery themselves!" Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh as he watched the fairy descend, while the fat man next to him had already trotted over to her.
"Meng'er~~~Here, here~~~" the fat man shouted excitedly.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Si Meng took off her mismatched sunglasses, smiled at everyone, and then walked over.
Several girls were also with her, and they were equally good-looking; they were probably the Awakened Ones accompanying her.
"Long time no see!" Si Meng greeted Ye Chen and the fat man with a smile.
"Hehe, that's right! It feels like three autumns have passed since we last met. We haven't seen each other for thousands of autumns! Are you tired from the journey? Come on, come on! Come and rest in the car!" Before Ye Chen could even speak, the fat man had already eagerly invited him and led Si Meng to the car.
“Indeed, it’s been decades. Let’s get in the car first and talk slowly on the way. If you don’t get in now, Fatty will be worried to death!” Ye Chen teased with a smile.
Si Meng smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more. Her gaze remained fixed on the fat man as he led her into the car. Her docile demeanor surprised the Awakened Ones who had returned with her.
"Go on up! Yufei has already arranged a place and is waiting for us to come over for dinner!" Ye Chen said with a smile to the girls, and everyone filed into the car.
The maglev trains of today are very fast and have a high passenger capacity; more than a dozen people were put on board before it slowly took off and sped towards the hotel.
"Meng'er~~~ I missed you so much~~~ You have no idea how I've gotten through all these years~~~ I've been thinking about seeing you every single moment~~~ Today my wish has finally come true~~~" The fat man snuggled against Si Meng's shoulder, crying and sniffling.
"If you keep doing this, I'm getting off the bus and going back right now!" Si Meng looked at the crowd of onlookers with an embarrassed expression and said helplessly to the fat man. She really didn't know how this person could be so oblivious to everyone else.
"Okay! Meng'er~~~ Are you hungry? I brought a lot of food, you can have some to eat first!" The fat man immediately sat up and said in a serious tone, and at some point he had taken out a snack bucket, which was full of all kinds of snacks.
"I'm not hungry! And the car will be here soon!" Si Meng said softly. Although she was helpless, she was not angry at the fat man's actions. Instead, she felt a little sweet. At least after decades, these people still remembered her.
"Are you thirsty? Want some water?" the fat man continued to ask. Si Meng thought for a moment, took the cup, and drank some water.
Are you feeling cold? Are you tired? Do you want to lie down for a while?
By the time the fat man finished asking around, the car had arrived at the hotel entrance, and everyone in the car had been fed an unlimited amount of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Even Ye Chen gave up on exchanging pleasantries with Si Meng, simply nodding to her before getting off the bus with the others.
At this time, there were already quite a few people waiting in the hotel. Yufei was even leading a group of executives to greet the cars outside the hotel. When she saw Ye Chen and the others' car arrive, she immediately came over to greet them. However, after she had greeted everyone, she still didn't see her beloved Si Meng get out of the car, and she was a little dumbfounded.
"Alright, let's go up first. They'll come up on their own in a bit!" Ye Chen said helplessly. Before leaving, he called out to the others, "Hurry up, or we won't have any food left!"
