Chapter 1224 Leaving
Chapter 1224 Leaving
Before she knew it, it was the end of August. Shen Xuening had been preparing to leave these past few days. This time, she wouldn't be back until the end of September, almost a month. She had never been away for such a long time before, and to be honest, she was a little worried.
However, with the deputy manager overseeing the company while she was away, and Feng Helin and Cao Wenyu assisting her, the company is unlikely to collapse or encounter any major problems, given their strong work abilities and the presence of many talented individuals.
The deputy manager has been with the company for over a month. During this time, he has been familiarizing himself with the company's business and has been learning from Shen Xuening from time to time. He has over ten years of work experience, and his work ability goes without saying. He is a very capable person.
Shen Xuening handed over all the details and held a large meeting, thus completing the handover of company affairs.
That evening, Shen Xuening returned home and knocked on Shen Yingying's door: "Yingying, pack your bags tomorrow. We're going to City A this afternoon."
Shen Yingying immediately opened the door and replied with a smile, "Okay, sister."
Shen Xuening said with concern, "Get some rest early."
Shen Yingying nodded obediently: "Yes, sister, you should rest early too."
Shen Xuening turned around and went back to her room.
Shen Yingying closed the door and immediately sat down at her computer desk, sending a WeChat message to Jiang Rui: "Rui Rui, I'm going to City A tomorrow. When are you going to City C?"
Jiang Rui: "I live relatively close by, so I'll go the day before enrollment."
Shen Yingying: "Okay, when we get to school, take some pictures of me and I'll take pictures of you too."
Jiang Rui: "Okay, by the way, is your flight in the morning or the afternoon? Shall I come and see you off?"
Shen Yingying: "My flight is this afternoon. My sister will probably have my dad drive us to the airport. Let's have lunch together tomorrow."
Jiang Rui replied excitedly, "Okay, whatever you say we want to eat, we'll eat it."
Shen Yingying was overjoyed, finally ready to begin a new journey: "Okay, then I'll pack my bags."
Jiang Rui thought for a moment and said, "How about I come find you now and help you pack?"
Shen Yingying agreed: "That works too."
Jiang Rui: "Then I'll be right there."
From the same village, Jiang Rui arrived at Shen Yingying's room within minutes, where Shen Yingying had already taken out her suitcase.
This suitcase was specially bought for her by Liu Juan. In preparation for her going to university, Liu Juan bought her a lot of things, not to mention clothes, pants, and shoes, as well as electronic products such as computers, headphones, and watches. Basically, she bought everything that could be used.
Many things have already been sent to City A, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to carry so many things. Now she only needs to pack a few things and travel light.
Jiang Rui said reluctantly, "Yingying, this time we won't see each other again until the New Year, right?"
Shen Yingying thought for a moment, then nodded: "Probably."
Jiang Rui suddenly hugged Shen Yingying: "I already miss you even though we haven't parted yet, Yingying. I really want to go to City A with you."
Shen Yingying patted Jiang Rui on the back and comforted her, "You can come to City A for tourism when you have free time. I'll take you to eat delicious food and have fun activities."
Jiang Rui said excitedly, "I want to climb the Great Wall and see the Forbidden City."
Shen Yingying readily agreed: "Anything is fine, I'll arrange it."
Jiang Rui said, "Yingying, you are so good to me. Whether in the past or now, you have always been so good to me. Your attitude towards me has never changed."
Shen Yingying said, "You're my best friend, how could I change? No matter where we are in the future, our hearts will always be together, and we can be together again after we graduate."
Jiang Rui released Shen Yingying, looked at her, and asked expectantly, "Will you come back to work?"
Shen Yingying replied without hesitation, "Of course, I will definitely come back. I want to help my sister manage the company."
Jiang Rui asked, "Then aren't you going to pursue a master's degree?"
Shen Yingying hesitated: "Uh... I haven't thought about this yet."
Jiang Rui said confidently, "You will definitely pursue a master's degree, but it will only be a few years, it won't delay things."
Shen Yingying took this to heart and said seriously, "I'll think about it again and see if it's necessary."
Jiang Rui laughed and said, "Okay, no rush, we haven't even started university yet."
Just then, the door opened and Qin Yaoyao walked in: "Yingying, Jiang Rui is here too."
Jiang Rui called out sweetly, "Sister Yao Yao."
"Good girl." Qin Yaoyao gave one of the savory pancakes she bought to Jiang Rui, and then gave the other to Shen Yingying. "Eat first, then we'll clean up."
Shen Yingying said, "You've given them all to us, aren't you going to eat them?"
Qin Yaoyao showed the milk tea: "I'll drink the milk tea, you guys can eat it. I brought it for you anyway."
"Then I'll feed you." Shen Yingying fed Qin Yaoyao a piece. "Good sisters, we share the good times and the bad. Let's eat together."
Qin Yaoyao ate the savory pancake and then said, "When we get to City A, I'll let you stay in the room at the old house. Don't be shy with me, or I'll get angry."
Shen Yingying flattered, "Okay, when we get to City A, I'll stay in Miss Qin's room. It'll be so fragrant and soft, I won't want to get out of bed once I'm asleep."
Qin Yaoyao said, "Anyway, you'll definitely like it. Besides, I've already made arrangements. The room is all ready, so you can move in right away."
Shen Yingying hugged Qin Yaoyao and said happily, "Okay, I'll gladly accept your offer."
Qin Yaoyao laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? I still occupy your room every day."
Shen Yingying hugged Qin Yaoyao and rubbed against her, saying in a joking tone, "You are Miss Qin, how can I compare to you?"
Qin Yaoyao said, "Then you are still Miss Shen the Second, no less than me."
Jiang Rui swallowed the savory pancake in her mouth and said, "You two are both young ladies, and I'm just a little maid. I'm here to be your foil."
Shen Yingying and Qin Yaoyao both laughed: "Haha..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Xuening's voice came in: "Yingying, we need to go to G City first, and then to A City. My hot pot restaurant in G City is about to open."
The door was already open, and Shen Yingying appeared in front of Shen Xuening with a smile: "I'll do whatever you say, sister."
Shen Xuening looked at the adorable Shen Yingying and couldn't help but pat her hair: "Good girl."
Qin Yaoyao poked her head out from the side: "Sister-in-law, I still have some work to finish. I'll come back for your wedding in September. How about I drive you there tomorrow?"
Shen Xuening said, "I asked my dad to send it. It's all arranged. You can focus on your work."
Qin Yaoyao nodded: "Uncle can send it too."
Shen Xuening looked at the three of them and said, "Alright, I won't disturb your sisterly reunion. I'm going back to my room."
The three of them waved to Shen Xuening together: "Sister, sister-in-law, Xuening, take care."
Shen Xuening turned around and went back.
Shen Yingying gently closed the door, then turned to look at everyone: "Haha, I didn't expect to be able to take a trip to G City. I'll take pictures of you guys then."
Qin Yaoyao suggested, "G City is quite famous for its embroidery; you could go and check out cheongsams or something."
Shen Yingying nodded: "I'll remember. If I see anything I really like, I'll bring it to you."
Jiang Rui waved her hand and said, "My figure is not suitable for wearing cheongsams, so you don't need to bring one for me. But if you see any nice accessories, you can bring them for me. I like them."
Shen Yingying agreed: "No problem."
……
In the afternoon, Shen Xuening, Shen Yingying, Shen Baohong, and Shen Dong got into the car together and headed to the airport. Shen Baohong drove, and after dropping them off, Shen Dong drove back alone.
Shen Baohong is going to film a video for Shen Xuening. Shen Xuening is no longer going to hide their wedding video; she plans to let Shen Baohong film it openly and post it online to announce the good news of their marriage.
We boarded the plane smoothly and landed safely at the airport in G city.
Tu Yue was already waiting at the airport. The three of them could see her as soon as they came out of the airport. She took off her sunglasses and waved to Shen Xuening: "Xuening, it's been a long time."
Shen Xuening quickened her pace: "Tu Yue, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Tu Yue smiled sweetly: "We didn't have to wait long, only about ten minutes. Get in the car, it's almost dark. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Shen Xuening introduced the three of them to each other: "Let me introduce you first. This is my younger sister, Shen Yingying. This is my cousin, Shen Baohong. Yingying, cousin, and this is my college classmate, Tu Yue."
The three greeted each other and got to know each other.
Tu Yue tilted her head and said warmly, "Get in the car."
Shen Xuening said, "Let's go."
Tu Yue drove, Shen Xuening sat in the passenger seat, and Shen Yingying and Shen Baohong sat in the back. The car drove smoothly and then arrived at a private restaurant.
They had booked a private room in advance. The four of them entered the room, and the dishes were served quickly. The group, who had been traveling for a long time, were hungry as soon as they saw the food.
Shen Yingying said politely, "These dishes look delicious."
Tu Yue looked at Shen Yingying, whose obedient and well-behaved appearance made her like her more and more: "Then little sister, please eat quickly. We're all family, so there's no need to be polite."
Shen Yingying politely thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Tu Yue."
Tu Yue patted Shen Xuening's arm and said excitedly, "Xuening, your sister is so well-behaved. I wish I had a sister like her too."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Is it too late for your parents to have another one?"
Tu Yue laughed and said, "It's definitely too late."
Shen Xuening took a sip of her drink and smoothly changed the subject: "Has Gong Li contacted you recently?"
Tu Yue said, "We've been in contact. We talk every day. She said it's so great that she's doing so well at your place. Business is good, she's in a good mood, and her embroidery skills have improved a lot. She doesn't want to come back."
Shen Xuening said, "I've met Gong Li twice, and she seems to be quite comfortable with it."
Tu Yue said, "Gong Li is a girl with a good personality. She can get used to being anywhere. Now that she can be useful to you, she will definitely adapt."
Shen Xuening nodded in agreement: "That's true." She then changed the subject, "You're welcome too."
“I’ll definitely go there often in the future.” Speaking of this, Tu Yue remembered the sweet potato incident. “Why didn’t you sell the sweet potatoes you dug to other places? Heaven knows how much I wanted to buy them.”
“I remember you mentioned it to me,” Shen Xuening said. “The sweet potatoes are very good, but the yield is only tens of thousands of catties. If we sell them to other places, it won’t be enough. I mainly want to give back to my fans, so…”
Tu Yue said, "I understand."
Shen Xuening changed the subject: "But I brought two with me, I'll give them to you in a bit."
Tu Yue was deeply moved. Who was Shen Xuening? The fact that she remembered her and even brought her something already showed that she was someone of high status: "You're so kind of you, you even brought me sweet potatoes."
Shen Xuening explained, "Those sweet potatoes are too heavy, I can only bring you two."
Tu Yue didn't care about the quantity: "It's enough that you have the intention."
Shen Xuening instructed, "Sweet potatoes are good for beauty and health. Keep them for yourself and don't give them to others. If you don't want to cook them, you can eat them raw. They're just as delicious."
Tu Yue took it seriously: "I'll remember that."
Shen Yingying couldn't help but interject, "Sister Tu Yue, the sweet potatoes have only been on the market for ten days, and almost half of them have already been sold. That's really great."
Tu Yue said, "I know, I've been to your area. The food there is excellent, especially the vegetables, they're all very good."
Shen Yingying added, "Keep the sweet potato for yourself. It's best if you eat it yourself; it's very good for your health."
Tu Yue smiled and said, "I understand, I will."
The group chatted and laughed, ate and drank, and happily finished dinner. Then Tu Yue took the three of them to the best room in her hotel: "You can stay here while you're in G City. If you need anything, just ask the front desk or me."
Shen Xuening nodded: "Okay."
……
The best rooms in the hotel are the suites, which have exactly three rooms, one for each person.
After returning to the room, Shen Xuening told Shen Yingying and Shen Baohong about the work arrangements, and then told them to go and rest, as the journey had been tiring and they wouldn't have to do anything else today.
After a good night's rest, all three of them were full of energy the next day.
Shen Xuening said to Shen Baohong, "We also need to film at the store today. The store is opening soon, and I need to do some promotion."
Shen Baohong gave an "OK" sign: "Understood."
Tu Yue left a car for Shen Xuening, and Shen Xuening didn't stand on ceremony. It's only through reciprocity that friendships develop, right? She drove straight to the hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant is located in a shopping mall in the city center. The mall has a large flow of people and there are many restaurants around. As long as the hot pot is delicious, the business will definitely be good.
Shen Xuening was very confident in the taste of her hot pot restaurant, so she did not refuse even the high rent.
The hot pot restaurant has been renovated for a month and is now fully completed. The manager has recruited employees, the shop has been cleaned, and the ingredients have been delivered and stored in the warehouse. Everything is ready for the restaurant to open.
Because Shen Xuening was arriving today, the store manager and all the staff greeted her in the store: "President Shen."
Shen Xuening nodded to the store manager, then glanced around the store and looked at the employees: "Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay." The store manager led Shen Xuening into the store.
Shen Xuening sat down at a table. The store manager stood to her side, and the other employees stood in front of her, partially surrounding her. "Are these all the employees in the store?"
The store manager replied, "Yes, Mr. Shen, everyone is here."
