Chapter 119 Going to the Capital
Chapter 119 Going to the Capital
Hua Qingmeng walked over and stood next to Ye Xinghe. "She's going to the capital with me to take care of some things."
Su Nanqing complained, "This isn't me criticizing you, Qingmeng. This trip back to the capital was a family trip, but you took that young girl with you to work while you stayed home enjoying your retirement."
Hua Qingmeng looked slightly displeased. "I'm mainly accompanying her on business this time. Besides, Ye Xinghe can also come to the family gathering."
At this moment, the flight attendant came over and informed the group that they could board the plane.
This aircraft is a small passenger plane owned by the Huashi Group, which can seat 10 passengers excluding flight attendants and pilots.
After boarding, Hua Qingmeng and Lin Hao sat in the first row, Ye Xinghe and Qiao Lin sat in the second row, and Su Nanqing sat in the third row by herself.
After the plane stabilized, Su Nanqing moved closer to Ye Xinghe and asked, "Miss Ye, did you come to Beijing this time to handle matters concerning the Ye Group?"
Hua Qingmeng turned around and said, "This is an internal matter of our Group C. Group Leader Su shouldn't interfere."
Ye Xinghe smiled and said, "Team Leader Su, I just follow the leader's instructions. I do whatever he tells me to do."
Su Nanqing said with a smile, "It's not work time now, so just call me Nanqing. Qingmeng and I are the same age; we've been classmates since we were little."
Hua Qingmeng turned around and said, "I haven't formally introduced you yet. Besides being my classmate, Su Nanqing has another important identity."
"She is my sister-in-law."
Ye Xinghe smiled and said gently, "So that's how we are. I'll call you Sister Nanqing then. You can just call me Xinghe from now on."
Su Nanqing was only three years older than Ye Xinghe and didn't like being called "sister," so her expression became a little stiff. "Xinghe, your performance at the conference last time was excellent."
Ye Xinghe blinked, a hint of innocence on her face, "Is Sister Nan Qing praising how well I slapped you?"
Hua Qingmeng, sitting in the front row, covered his face and smiled. He had complete confidence in Ye Xinghe's ability to be sarcastic and sarcastic; she was second to none.
Su Nanqing was surprised by Ye Xinghe's directness and said awkwardly with a smile, "Xinghe, chatting with you is so much fun. When we go back to Jiangyang, we should get together often."
Ye Xinghe smiled and nodded in agreement.
"The plane will arrive in Beijing in about two hours. You can rest for a bit." After Hua Qingmeng finished speaking, she handed Ye Xinghe a pair of earplugs.
Ye Xinghe asked in confusion, "What's this for?"
Hua Qingmeng glanced at Lin Hao beside her, "You'll find out soon enough."
In less than five minutes, Lin Hao's snoring filled the entire cabin.
Qiao Lin had been sleeping very little lately and had planned to take a nap, but the snoring annoyed him. "Boss, where are we now? Is there a parachute under the seat? I need to get off the plane!"
Ye Xinghe handed her the earplugs, saying, "Put these on, I'm not going to sleep."
Qiao Lin stood up and slapped Lin Hao's chair back hard. "I'm not going to sleep either. I'll go to the back and see if there's anything to eat."
Just then, Lin Hao mumbled something from the front, "Bring me a chicken leg."
For a moment, it was unclear whether he was lucid or talking in his sleep.
Two hours later, the plane landed.
Lin Hao stretched and said, "I didn't sleep well at all, all I heard was you guys talking non-stop."
Qiao Lin, who was walking in front of him, turned around and elbowed him, "You have the nerve to say we're noisy? If airplane windows could be opened, even the birds in the sky would think it's thunder!"
"Don't slander me! I've been sleeping the whole time, I haven't said a word." After saying that, Lin Hao turned around and asked Hua Qingmeng guiltily, "Did I just talk in my sleep?"
Hua Qingmeng remained silent and turned on her phone's recording app.
Lin Hao looked puzzled. "Huahua, why are you playing this? What does it have to do with me? Isn't that just the sound of renovations?"
After getting off the plane, Su Nanqing and Hua Qingmeng walked side by side in front. "Qingmeng, let's take Xinghe to the hotel first. Then we'll go home."
"Xinghe, which hotel did you book? Qingmeng didn't tell me, and I didn't know you were coming to Beijing, otherwise I would have made arrangements in advance."
Hua Qingmeng dragged her suitcase out of the airport. "She's not staying at a hotel."
"My older brother will land in an hour. Aren't you going to wait for him at the airport so you can go back together?"
Su Nanqing stopped in her tracks, her smile momentarily freezing. "You're taking Xinghe home? Does Grandpa know?"
"We'll find out." Hua Qingmeng glanced back at her. "Then we'll be going now, sister-in-law."
Ye Xinghe also greeted them from behind and followed Hua Qingmeng out of the airport.
After the four got into the car, Lin Hao asked, "Where are we going now?"
Ye Xinghe and Hua Qingmeng said in unison, "Let's go to the Shen family."
Lin Hao turned around. "Huh? Aren't you going to eat? I asked about a restaurant!"
Hua Qingmeng glanced down at her watch. "It's 12:30 now. I need to be sitting on the Shen family's sofa before 1:00."
Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Shen family villa.
After the car drove into the yard, Shen Yan's parents greeted her at the gate. "Qingmeng, what brings you here today? Aren't you busy with the new project in Jiangyang?"
"I came to get something from Shen Yan." Hua Qingmeng walked straight to the living room as if she were in her own home and sat down on the sofa. "She owes me something and hasn't returned it. Didn't she tell you when she came back?"
The Shen couple naturally knew Hua Qingmeng's purpose, but they could only pretend to be ignorant at this time. "This child said she was going home to stay for a few days. I'll call her down now."
"Yanyan, come down quickly, Qingmeng is here." Mother Shen called out a few times symbolically from the stairs. "This child is probably listening to music again. I'll go up and call her."
Mr. Shen instructed the servants to make tea for the guests, saying, "I don't know what our Yan Yan owes you that you would bother to make this special trip. I need to talk to this child about it later."
Hua Qingmeng crossed his legs and said indifferently, "A tongue."
Mr. Shen's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly put on a kind smile again. "This young lady is..."
Ye Xinghe raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "Mr. Shen, hello. My name is Ye Xinghe. I am Shen Yan's... former colleague."
Mr. Shen's face darkened. So she was Ye Xinghe, the one who had bullied his daughter!
"Ah, so you're the daughter of the Ye family's pharmaceutical business. I've heard so much about you."
Ye Xinghe's smile, which had just begun to bloom, slowly faded. "Mr. Shen, you flatter me. I can't compare to the Shen family of Beijing."
Shen Huihao chuckled twice in response, then looked at Hua Qingmeng, "Qingmeng, you should spend more time with your grandfather this time you're back. I went to see him this morning, but I didn't see him. He said he wasn't feeling well."
Hua Qingmeng spoke casually, directly pointing out, "He usually says this when he doesn't want to see someone."
Shen Huihao's facial expressions changed repeatedly, making for a truly fascinating display.
