The next day, Ye Shuning got ready early and waited for Ling Xuan and others to pick her up.
At eight o'clock, Ling Xuan came upstairs to find her on time and helped her carry her suitcase downstairs.
When Ye Shuning went downstairs, she saw a middle-aged man in his forties who looked somewhat like Ling Xuan standing next to the car. She knew that this should be Ling Xuan's father, Ling Qisheng.
Ling Xuan took the lead in introducing: "Sister Xiao Ning, this is my father. Dad, this is Sister Xiao Ning."
Ling Qisheng stepped forward, shook hands with Ye Shuning, and said, "I've been wanting to come and see Miss Ye for a long time. It's really rude to meet her now."
Ling Qisheng had not come to see Ye Shuning before because he was afraid of causing trouble for Ye Shuning. After all, someone was always watching him, and all his actions would attract the attention of other families.
Ye Shuning said, "No, I should be the one visiting Uncle Ling. Just call me Xiao Ning."
Ling Qisheng nodded and said, "Let's get in the car quickly. There's someone else meeting us at the customs inspection office."
The driver quickly helped put Ye Shuning's luggage into the trunk of the car, and the three of them got in the car.
Ye Shuning sat in the passenger seat of the car.
Ling Qisheng said, "Xiao Ning, are you familiar with Secretary Li's information?"
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I'm familiar with it now. I've memorized it firmly."
Ling Qisheng said, "From now on, I'll call you Secretary Li. You look quite like Secretary Li."
The group arrived at the customs passenger inspection office, where there was someone waiting for them.
They entered the passenger inspection office and waited for their documents to be checked before passing through the checkpoint.
The management is very strict now and there are few people traveling between the two places, so they completed the inspection quickly.
They quickly passed through the checkpoint and arrived at the territory of Shenzhou, which belonged to the inland area.
Nangang and Shenzhou are actually separated by only a river, but they are two different worlds: one is prosperous while the other is poor, one is advanced while the other is backward. People on both sides of the river are curious about everything on the other side.
The people in Shenzhou stood on the north bank of the Shenzhou River and looked towards their dream paradise, hoping to live a prosperous life like that in Nangang.
Ye Shuning knew that this shallow river could not stop the pace of the times. With the reform and opening up of the mainland, people on both sides would begin to try to contact and communicate, and this river would become a historical witness to the common development of Nangang and the mainland.
Today, Shenzhou is still desolate, not yet as prosperous as it would be in later times. This is a land still dormant, but in a few years it will be revitalized with amazing vitality.
When they arrived here, people from relevant mainland departments were there to pick them up. After some introductions and greetings, Ye Shuning and the others got on two cars that came to pick them up.
Ye Shuning looked at the scenery outside through the car window. Even though this was not her hometown, Ye Shuning still felt very familiar.
After two hours' drive, they arrived at a state-owned restaurant in the city. After having a fairly hearty lunch, they continued on their journey and arrived in ZZ City in the afternoon.
They then checked into a local hotel that specializes in hosting foreign guests. ZZ City can be said to be the mainland's gateway to the world, and many foreigners settle here first.
Therefore, there is a hotel here that is specially designed to entertain foreign guests. Because it is an external window, the hotel is decorated very luxuriously. Ye Shuning took a look and felt that it was equivalent to a three-star hotel in the future.
Ye Shuning and the others were arranged to stay in rooms on the second floor. Since Ye Shuning was a lady, she had a room to herself, Ling Qisheng and his son had a room, and the rest of the people had their own rooms.
Ling Qisheng and his son came to the mainland this time mainly to discuss the supply of clothes, fabrics and other materials to the mainland.
The Ling family has its own textile and garment factories, and has had business dealings with the mainland for a long time. This is because the Ling family has a long history in Nangang, a high status, and good relationships with the senior management of Nangang, so they can sell things to the mainland.
The mainland also needs partners like the Ling family.
After settling in, Ling Xuan knocked on Ye Shuning's door and said, "Secretary Li, the leader of the Foreign Trade Bureau in Zhuzhou wants to treat us to a meal. You should come with us."
Ling Xuan winked at Ye Shuning as he spoke. Ever since arriving in the mainland, Ling Xuan had always addressed Ye Shuning as Secretary Li, in order to avoid revealing the truth and arousing suspicion.
Ye Shuning saw Ling Xuan blinking and curled her lips and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes and come find you right away."
Ye Shuning quickly changed into a suit, a white shirt, a black suit jacket and a black one-step skirt. This outfit made Ye Shuning look much more capable and older.
Ye Shuning wore a pair of black wide-rimmed glasses and her bangs were relatively long, which covered a lot of her face.
After changing her clothes and looking at her appearance, Ye Shuning went to find Ling Xuan and the others.
Ling Qisheng and his group of four went downstairs to meet the leader of the Foreign Trade Bureau who was waiting in the hotel lobby. At this time, the reception staff of the Foreign Trade Bureau had already arrived.
Ye Shuning was walking at the end of the group. When she was going downstairs, she looked down and saw Li Shaozhong in the crowd at a glance.
Ye Shuning grabbed the handrail of the stairs to keep herself from losing her composure. She hadn't expected to see Li Shaozhong here at this time. It was such a coincidence. Now she didn't have to worry about informing her father and the others.
Li Shaozhong knew in advance that the people who were going to receive him this time were from the Ling family, so he tried to participate in the reception. His purpose was to ask the Ling family about Ye Shuning's news and then ask them to find Ye Shuning's whereabouts.
He was the first to see Ling Xuan, who was walking in second place, because Ling Xuan had stayed at Ye Shuning's house for two days and Li Shaozhong knew him.
When he looked back, he could hardly believe his eyes, because the lady walking at the end was actually Ye Shuning, the one he had been thinking about day and night and the one they had been looking for.
Li Shaozhong even rubbed his eyes, worried that he was hallucinating because he missed his young fiancée too much. But it wasn't an illusion. The person walking at the back was indeed Ye Shuning. This was truly the biggest surprise God had given him.
Li Shaozhong tried hard to suppress his excitement and not lose his composure. Then, they introduced themselves to each other, and he and his leader shook hands with the representatives from Ling's Enterprise in Nangang one by one.
When Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning shook hands, their hearts were beating violently. They couldn't help but hold each other's hands tightly. Their eyes also communicated silently.
Li Shaozhong looked at the person he had been thinking about day and night. She was more beautiful, more elegant, and exuded a charming charm. He knew that his young fiancée should be living well in Nangang.
Now that he knew his fiancée was fine, what he wanted to know most was his nephew's condition. However, he thought that if Ye Shuning was fine, his nephew should be fine too.
