Yang Kai slumped onto the sofa, his mind in turmoil, unable to calm down at all.
If Zhang Lu hadn't called during the day, I might be in that sea of fire right now.
The assistant, hearing the phone suddenly go silent, frantically called out on the other end, "Chairman? Chairman Yang, are you listening?"
Yang Kai snapped out of his daze and said into the phone, "Xiao Hu, don't panic, I'm listening."
Assistant Xiao Hu's voice was trembling with tears: "Chairman, thank goodness we came back. I was thinking that maybe I should go first, because I was afraid that the Han side would be unhappy if they couldn't pick up anyone today."
Thank goodness you said we'd leave together tomorrow. Chairman, we were so close...
"Xiao Hu, young man, don't cry! Are you at the company or at home now?"
Go home and take a hot shower to calm down, then have the translator contact the Korean side to see if tomorrow's schedule will proceed as planned or be rescheduled.
Are other flights able to land normally at Busan Airport?
"Huh?" Xiao Hu hesitated for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then said, "I'm a little scared to go. It's too intimidating. What do you think about having the Koreans come over to sign the contract?"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Kai's tone became serious. "This is just a preliminary cooperation intention. They inspected our factory, but we haven't even inspected theirs yet. How can we sign a contract directly?"
"Isn't this what we were supposed to do—go and check it out first? If we don't dare go because of this incident, what will the Koreans think of us?!"
The thinking and mentality of leaders and employees are really different. When Xiao Hu heard that the chairman was getting a little anxious, he quickly apologized and said that he had lost his mind.
Yang Kai realized that he had gone a bit too far. After all, Xiao Hu was young and had just narrowly escaped a major air disaster that hadn't happened in many years. Anyone would be terrified in that situation.
So he softened his tone and comforted his assistant, saying, "Xiao Hu, the original time and date were chosen by us. We've already changed it once today. Changing it again would be a breach of our credibility."
Have your translator check with the South Korean side. If Busan airport is still operating normally, we can take the same flight tomorrow. Besides, don't worry unnecessarily. Airplanes are the safest mode of transportation in the world; how could accidents happen every day?
That's what he said, but after hanging up the phone, Yang Kai found himself drenched in a cold sweat. The television was still repeatedly broadcasting news of the plane crash, but there were no new details being reported.
He calmed himself down and went back to the bedroom to check on Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was still fast asleep on the bed, her small face calm, her belly slightly protruding.
Yang Kai slowly walked to her side, sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently stroked her belly, thinking to himself, "This unborn baby has saved my life today."
He didn't make a big fuss about it. After Zhang Lu's condition stabilized, he still went to South Korea on a business trip the next day. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were no further setbacks.
Zhang Lu hadn't been his assistant for a long time because of her pregnancy, so when she heard he was on a business trip, she didn't initially inquire about his specific destination, and therefore didn't connect the location and time of the plane crash with Yang Kai's business trip.
It wasn't until long after Yang Kai returned from South Korea that he heard him mention that the baby in her belly was a lucky star, able to bless her father even before birth, and might even bring honor to the family in the future.
Zhang Lu then realized that the child in her womb had not only saved her father Yang Kai's life, but also reversed her fate of possibly being aborted before birth.
In this way, Yang Xile, while still in his mother's womb, relied on his extraordinary luck to not only save his father and himself, but also lay the most solid foundation for his mother's "legitimacy".
The birth of Yang Xile made Yang Kai, who was in his forties and had entered middle age, feel as if he had returned to his youth, so it was only natural that he was favored. However, this was quite a blow to Yang Kai's eldest son, Yang Xiguang, who was just entering adolescence at the time.
Yang Xiguang and his sister Yang Xilin are full siblings, both born to Yang Kai's first wife.
The first wife came from a humble background and had little education. After Yang Kai became successful, the relationship naturally became unstable, and the disintegration of the family was almost expected by everyone.
Fortunately, Yang Kai has always been generous to women, and his first wife is also virtuous by nature. She knew that she couldn't compete with him, so she obediently took the money and divorced him. Both children were raised by Yang Kai.
Yang Kai's second wife gave birth to a daughter, Yang Xishu, who was very beautiful from a young age and was once quite favored.
Unfortunately, the girl's personality became less and less likable as she grew older, and she also seemed to lack intelligence, so neither of the eldest nor the second eldest sons of the Yang family paid much attention to this half-sister.
Of the original three children, Yang Kai originally valued the eldest, Yang Xiguang, the most.
Firstly, because he was the eldest son, he spent the most time with his father. Secondly, because Yang Kai was still in the startup phase when his son was born, and although the family was not poor, it was far from the luxurious life they have now. Yang Kai felt that his son did not enjoy many good conditions when he was young.
Moreover, he was busy running around to start his business at that time and rarely spent time with his wife. A few years later, he divorced and remarried, which gave Yang Xiguang a stepmother and a younger sister. Later, he also had a younger brother who was more than ten years younger than him. Therefore, Yang Kai always felt that he owed something to his eldest son.
Therefore, Yang Kai has always placed high hopes on his eldest son, and the name he gave him means "light of hope," representing that he is the future hope of the Yang family.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiguang was not a good son. Perhaps because he lacked maternal love from a young age, he became addicted to material pleasures as an adult, buying whatever was expensive and playing with whatever was novel.
