“I’m here, Zhiyou.” she quickly spoke up, the phone was on speaker, and Yang Mogui was listening next to her.
After a pause on the other end, he responded with a calm “Hmm”, as if he were listening to a piece of societal news that had nothing to do with him.
Lu Weixi didn’t mind, and asked first: “Are you coming back tonight?”
There was a slight pause in his breathing on the other end, but through the phone, she couldn’t see if his expression was a frown or a pursed lip. After a while, she heard him ask with a bit of seriousness: “Why are you asking like this. Is it because you want me to come back?”
Lu Weixi naturally nodded: “Yes, I do.”
However, there was a long silence on the other end. Lu Weixi waited for a bit, Yang Mogui next to her was getting impatient, and the person on the other end seemed to be a little shaky in his voice. She figured that Qin Zhiyou was about to lose his cool, so she brought up Yang Mogui in a hurry, “Of course, mom misses you too.”
As expected, after she said this, the slightly unstable breathing sound from the other end of the phone stopped a little. Then Qin Zhiyou’s tone softened: “Hand the phone to mom if she’s by your side.”
Lu Weixi was startled; she didn’t expect Qin Zhiyou to figure it out so quickly. The phone was on speaker; she looked back at Mrs. Yang, and Yang Mogui naturally took the phone from her hand: “When are you coming back?—- Do
you disregard your health in the midst of your work every day?———————- When will
your work be done?? Where are you now?”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mogui handed the phone back to Lu Weixi. Perhaps Qin Zhiyou said something to her, she seemed to calm down significantly. She just said: “You take the soup to him later.”
Lu Weixi was shocked, wasn’t Qin Zhiyou just calming her down? Why is she still saying this?
Yang Mogui said nonchalantly: “Zhiyou is very busy. He went to the shipyard a few days ago, so he couldn’t come back. His flight arrives in Yan City at three this afternoon, you go to the airport and wait for him. Even if my son is back in Yan City today, he has a lot of work to do and maybe won’t return home for the next couple of days.”
Lu Weixi finally understood, no wonder Qin Zhiyou hadn’t been coming back, he was out of town.
The upcoming 50th anniversary of the Hanhai Group, and the maiden voyage of the Hanhai Group’s cruise ship, are being planned. Hanhai Group shows no interest in expanding into tourism or maritime industries. But an enterprise’s growth always needs to discover new points of growth.
This cruise company is an arm of an established European entity. Qin Zhiyou infused this near-bankrupt company with capital a year ago, buying up 10 percent of the shares. Therefore, when this company wanted to open up routes to China, they would prioritize Hanhai Group’s interests. The new ship built by the shipyard was named “Hanhai”.
Purchasing the cruise ship served a dual purpose: it provided a venue for their events. Also, the cruise ship traveling into international waters would lack cell signals and general Internet, only satellite transmission was possible. Moreover, international waters are lawless territories, only subject to international law. To ensure the safety of some contracts, it’s best to negotiate them out at sea.
Yang Mogui furrowed her brow: “I’ll have my assistant drive you there later, you’ll carry the soup. She’ll tell you his flight details later.”
Asking her assistant to drive meant she had to be sent to the airport. By not letting her drive back, she was hoping that Lu Weixi would ride back with Qin Zhiyou to improve their relationship.
It could be said that Mrs. Yang was really going all out to foster a good relationship between the two..
