"Alright! Leave the strategy to me!" Fu Mutian snapped her fingers, quite satisfied.
"When should we go?" Ye Lin's voice was filled with surprise. "I need to talk to my Erlang beforehand."
She has a bit more free time now, but her husband is still a professor and very busy.
"Hmm... Tomorrow? I'm free anyway," Shen Beian suggested. Transportation was convenient, and he didn't have anything else to do. He mainly wanted to see the other three.
"I'm fine with it!" Ye Lin was the first to speak. It was still morning, so packing was easy.
“Me, too,” Fu Mutian replied. She didn’t have much work to begin with, and she wasn’t involved in the family business. She did some things on her own, and with professional managers around, she didn’t need to worry at all.
Only Sheng Jingchen remained.
"Brother Chen? Is he still there?" Fu Mutian asked after not hearing Sheng Jingchen's voice for a while.
"Ah, yes." Sheng Jingchen's voice sounded somewhat tired for some reason.
“Brother Chen, what’s wrong? If you’re busy, we can go out and have fun another time,” Ye Lin said.
Brother Chen's voice doesn't sound quite right.
Shen Bei'an naturally understood as well. He remembered that when A'yan came to pick him up after the wedding of the Fu family and the Wei family at the beginning of summer vacation, it seemed that the eldest son of the Sheng family had something to discuss with him.
What's wrong?
Sheng Jingchen stood up, his eyes scanning the entire office. "It's nothing, it's just... my brother transferred me to the United States."
The Sheng family is also a large and powerful family, headquartered in the capital of the empire, with branches in several countries around the world.
Sheng Jingchen initially managed a small entertainment company in Beijing, which was considered extremely small by the Sheng family standards.
But he has the advantage of a leisurely lifestyle and is not short of money, so he enjoys it.
But going to the US…
Putting aside the time difference, he was essentially cut off from almost everyone in China.
"What! You're going to America?!" Fu Mutian jumped up from her chair, her voice sharp.
Shen Bei'an and Ye Lin were also incredulous.
Why would the eldest son of the Sheng family suddenly send Sheng Jingchen to America?
Sending someone abroad is not much different from exile in ancient times for a prominent family in the imperial capital.
The harmonious family dynamic of the Sheng family is no secret in the capital.
Because of his eldest son Sheng Da Gongzi's outstanding abilities, Master Sheng retired early and gave way to Sheng Da Gongzi.
Under the leadership of the eldest son of the Sheng family, the family has made steady progress.
How could it be that the young master of the Sheng family and Sheng Jingchen are brothers from the same father and mother?
"Jingchen, why did your older brother suddenly send you to America?" Shen Beian asked, puzzled.
According to Ayan, the eldest son of the Sheng family is actually a very nice person.
Someone had already come to hand over the work to Sheng Jingchen. As he walked out, he said, "I don't know, but there's always a reason why my brother does things."
She lowered her eyes slightly, just as she had always done since childhood.
"But..." Ye Lin opened her mouth to retort, but found herself at a loss for words. Which family isn't like this?
"I'll have Ah Yan ask him! How could he let you go directly to America?!" Shen Bei'an was furious. Did he think the Sheng family was his personal fiefdom?!
She angrily opened Gu Nanyan's message box.
Typing away, he wrote, "Has your older cousin lost his mind? Why did he send Jingchen to America?! Is this some kind of exile?"
“Beibei, no need.” Sheng Jingchen seemed a little helpless. “A change of environment is actually not bad. Besides, I know a few people in the United States. Nothing will happen.”
Gu Nanyan replied almost instantly, "My cousin just wanted Jingchen to get some experience, that's all. Jingchen has friends in America, and my cousin has already made all the arrangements. Everything will be fine, don't worry."
“Everything is fine, but you mostly go to America for sightseeing. You probably haven’t participated in any of the activities there. Besides, what’s the point of going there if you’re unfamiliar with the place?” Ye Lin was also somewhat dissatisfied.
Children from prominent families in the imperial capital rarely study abroad, since the world's top educational resources are located within the empire.
Kyoto University and Imperial First Army need no further explanation.
Kyoto University has many exchange students every year, and they almost always come in rotation to ensure that every Kyoto University student has the opportunity to participate in an exchange program.
Sheng Jingchen's exchange school was Cambridge University in England.
"It's nothing, my brother's arrangement makes sense," Sheng Jingchen smiled. "Alright, I haven't even said anything yet, and you guys are already complaining on my behalf."
His eyes were filled with an irrepressible smile.
As he left, people kept greeting him, and he politely returned their greetings.
"Going to Jinling is probably not going to happen. I'll leave in five days."
It was quite a rush, to be honest.
In these five days, he has to complete the handover work in Beijing and prepare to go to the United States.
Who knows how long I'll be staying in the US?
The masquerade auction in Jinling took place five days later.
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Bei'an said, "Let's not go to Jinling. See when you're free these next few days, and we can go to Qietingfengyin for fun. I remember Xiao Yezi said she would treat us last time, didn't she?"
“Haha, that’s right, Beibei is right. It’s been so long, Xiaoyezi, isn’t it time to keep your promise?” Fu Mutian chimed in.
Ye Lin cried, "Brothers and sisters, it's only the beginning of the school year!"
Go and listen to the wind whisper...
I can't even imagine the cost.
Shen Bei'an laughed, "Little Yezi, don't complain about being poor. You hardly need to spend any money right now. We agreed on this a long time ago, so don't stand me up."
"How could I possibly stand you up!" Ye Lin said. "Alright, so, Brother Chen, when are you free?"
Membership is required there, and all four of them are members.
Sheng Jingchen glanced at the schedule. "The day after tomorrow, I think. The handover of things at the company should be done by then." He needed to go to Shengshi Group on Chaoge Street to find his brother first.
Chaoge Street was the world's financial center (roughly equivalent to Wall Street today, though Wall Street also existed here), and most of the major families in the capital had their headquarters on Chaoge Street.
“Okay, then how about 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow? Beibei, I'll pick you up.” Fu Mutian asked. All four of them were adults and had driver's licenses.
Moreover, the Zouwu Cloud series does not require a driver's license to drive on the road.
However, none of the three were entirely comfortable with Shen Beian traveling alone.
Shen Bei'an yawned lazily, "No need, A-Yan has arranged a driver for me, don't worry. This is the capital, nothing will happen."
Now it turns out those two are indeed very useful.
He is a driver, assistant, and bodyguard all at the same time.
If he asks, the two of them definitely will.
I have no idea where my wife found her.
"Alright, then let's just listen to Feng Yin's words." Since it's the eldest son's arrangement, nothing will go wrong.
