Chapter 926: Breaking the Window Paper
The next day, Lina and Peter left China one after another. Lina's flight to Paris was in the morning, and Peter's flight to New York was at noon.
Liu?, his mother, and Yu Zhan came to see them off. Lina was very satisfied when she left, but she was reluctant to leave. Every day in China was worth her lingering. She hugged Liu? and refused to let go. She also invited Liu? to come to Europe to play in the summer vacation. She wanted to take her to Paris and London.
Liu agreed, but it was just a verbal agreement. There were still two months left before summer vacation, and plans could not keep up with changes. Lina herself might not be free by then.
Reluctantly letting go of Liu?, Lina's big, flickering eyes suddenly looked at Zhang Pei, who was standing one step away behind Liu?.
The expectation in Lina's eyes startled Zhang Pei. She smiled and said to her, "Goodbye, Pei. I look forward to seeing you next time."
Peter found an opportunity and invited Lina and Zhang Pei to have a meal together in the name of introducing their daughter. Liu? was not present at the time. Zhang Pei did not think much of it at first. She thought Peter just wanted her to meet his daughter out of courtesy. After all, they had worked together for some time and were already friends. Besides, Peter's daughter was so beautiful and outstanding, and it was an honor for parents to have her by their side.
At the dinner table, Lina asked Zhang Pei, "Will you and Liu live in New Zealand in the future?"
Zhang Pei was puzzled. Peter had often described life in New Zealand to her, and she had learned a lot about New Zealand through the Internet and other channels, but she had never considered settling abroad. If she left, who would take care of the domestic business? She was worried about leaving it to someone else. Could it be that Liu wanted to go to New Zealand herself? She was indeed a very ambitious child.
Zhang Pei said, "I am more adapted to the living atmosphere in China. My relatives are all here. As for Liu?, she is an adult and she has long stopped living with me. I cannot interfere with her life. If she wants to go abroad, I will not stop her."
...
...
Finally, Lina said to Peter, "So are we going to move to China in the future?"
He looked at Zhang Pei awkwardly and said vaguely, "Let's talk about the future later." He was worried that Lina would say something shocking again. Alas, he shouldn't have been in a hurry to bring Lina to see Zhang Pei.
Lina observed the expressions of the two and suddenly realized that after all this time, her father had not yet dealt with Liu?'s mother! He even boasted in front of her that they were making rapid progress! It was as if they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, which made her excited for nothing.
After the meal, Lina did not say anything that could lead to misunderstandings. She was very polite and courteous to Zhang Pei, but Zhang Pei seemed to have noticed something and began to keep a distance from Peter. For example, during working hours, Peter would work in her office and answer or make phone calls without avoiding her. After the meal, Zhang Pei invited Peter to work in Liu's office. Liu rarely came here, so the office was idle.
Peter was unwilling to move. Zhang Pei was clearly trying to distance herself from him. Peter felt aggrieved. He said to Zhang Pei, "I used to work in your office. It doesn't matter."
Zhang Pei said seriously, "How can there be no relationship? You are the vice president of the company, and we are just agents. It was my fault before. I was too careless and didn't pay attention to the boundaries between superiors and subordinates. Sometimes I can also hear some of the content of your phone calls with agents in other countries. It involves a lot of industry secrets. If you continue, and let those agents know, it will affect your work."
Peter wanted to say that there was no impact at all, but this was obviously a lie. Not only the agents, but several other presidents of Cats' Garden had called him to ask why he was so fond of Chinese agents.
He had no choice but to tell Zhang Pei, "I'm going to the United States soon and won't be in China for long. The last few days don't matter."
"Now that the problem has been discovered, it should be corrected immediately," Zhang Pei said, "It is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost!"
