Chapter 308: Chapter 222: Departure! _2

"Wait a second," Yi Chilian called out to her.

Sui Yi turned around.

Yi Chilian stood with his hands behind his back, his sword-like eyebrows arching as if in flight, leisurely watching her, "Aren’t you always the one who dislikes owing favors? Now that I’ve sent you a basket of fruit, you should send me a basket of fruit in return someday. This is called reciprocity."

Didn’t you see the brain hemorrhage-like expressions on the faces of the people behind you?

Sui Yi found it somewhat amusing and actually laughed, nodding, "All right."

"You can’t just send me anything... It has to be something I like. I’ll think about it and let you know. Otherwise, if you send me something I don’t like to eat, it’s still me who’s the unlucky one," Yi Chilian spoke with a somewhat biting tone.

Sui Yi couldn’t quite figure out what the other person was thinking, so she fell silent for a moment before agreeing and then left.

As soon as she walked away, Yi Chilian turned to those people and said, "I’m going to meet a friend; you all go eat on your own. After eating, submit your expense reports."

When her cup of fruit tea was half-finished, someone took a seat opposite her.

Jiang Yunxiu looked up and chuckled, "I didn’t know Mr. Yi would coincidentally dine at the same restaurant as me."

Yi Chilian looked at him indifferently, "Thus, some coincidences really seem too coincidental, even to me."

"It seems you’re not in a good mood."

"Are you in a good mood?"

"Suddenly, I’ve discovered that fruit tea is quite delicious."

Yi Chilian sneered.

------

Sui Tang Square had a grand opening, albeit with quite a bit of heavy-handed embellishment. Nevertheless, it did make a name for itself. The store was so busy that the staff barely touched the ground, forcing Lin Yun to recruit more people... and advance the company’s agenda. But despite the hectic schedule, the BOSS spent everyday going to and coming from school without ever leaving early.

Lin Yun was frustrated, but even with his frustration, he still had to inquire about his boss’s recent mock exams...

"Boss, how did the mock exams go?"

"Hmm? Mock exams...? I thought it was just a regular quiz."

.....

Alright, after the exam, and with the arrival of New Year’s Day, you have a three-day holiday plus a two-day weekend, Yunxiu. You should finally be able to take a rest and then handle some company matters...

The next day, Sui Yi told her she had to go away on a trip, and... it might take a very long time.

--------

Saturday, with beautiful weather and warm sunshine at seven or eight o’clock, the temperature in the city was quite high, especially in the south, so it wasn’t too cold. Coupled with indoor air conditioning, it was very warm, giving people in the waiting room much leisure time to observe others...

For example, beautiful women.

Three beautiful women were definitely a breathtaking sight in the vast airport waiting room: one with short, spirited hair, another with long, graceful hair oozing sexy charm, and the third, although appearing to be the youngest, seemed to possess the strongest aura, most composed as if nothing could shake her.

However, it was clear that these three very different individuals were not getting along harmoniously.

The spirited short-haired beauty was pinching her delicate throat and taunting, "I don’t know who said we were going out for work and suggested we dress comfortably and casual and not unprofessionally, so as not to hold others back..."

Instantly dropping the dramatic tone, Miss Gong immediately flicked out an index finger, pointing at Flower Demon in front of her, coldly laughing, "Shorts, seven-centimeter high heels, tight sheer short sleeves, a tight little blazer—dressed like an office lady, are you going to strut on the runway or walk the streets? Even if you’re streetwalking, aren’t you cold?!"

Flower Demon raised an eyebrow, extending a finger polished with bright red nail polish to separate Gong Jiu’s finger, while saying in a standard posh accent, "Oh my, my dear Idiot Gong, it seems like you’ve worn your outfit back from the Qing Dynasty after living for a hundred years, huh? Look at your comprehension skills, so retro. You still think casual and relaxed means wearing military boots, fatigues, and a leather jacket! Are you heading to the countryside to fight bandits or into the mountains to hunt tigers? If you lack a sense of fashion, better not to parade around in clothes, sister. Moreover, I really don’t want to remind you, we’re not handling business today, my lady. You’re not in such a rush to switch into workwear like a bride on her wedding day!"

Pausing, she looked Flower Demon up and down, "Everyone says your martial arts talent is better than mine. Why do you still look like a bear, feeding all your cultivation level to polar bears?"

In terms of sharp-tongued repartee, truly, Miss Gong was no match for Flower Demon, so she habitually turned her head to grab Sui Yi’s sleeve...

Just as she was about to ask for help, Miss Hua already interjected sharply and swiftly, "Don’t look to Sui Yi for help. You think everyone’s like you? Look at her outfit, it’s perfect. That’s what true casual and young beauty looks like; even in sportswear, she’s stylish. Look at you, almost twenty-five, right..."

"Hmph, Flower Fairy, I have to tell you, you’re already twenty-five."

As the two seemed ready to argue, Sui Yi closed her book, "The plane has arrived... Let’s go."

On the screen, the flight from Provincial City to Xinjiang had arrived.

However, this trip to Xinjiang wasn’t just about the so-called Treasure Map. There was also the upcoming Xinjiang Jade Public Trading Conference. Elder Tang and others didn’t just come to Provincial City to check out Sui Tang Square, but also intended to fly directly to Xinjiang. Now, they had already gone to Xinjiang by plane, and the trio of Miss Gong followed later, first to the Public Trading Conference, then treasure hunting!

Of course, for Miss Gong and Flower Demon, it seemed to be more than just about treasure hunting.

Sui Yi felt like these two were each hiding something, but since they weren’t talking, someone of Sui Yi’s nature wouldn’t ask; she just followed them to the boarding gate.

Yet as they entered the gate, Sui Yi suddenly felt a nagging thought, looked around...

Seeing nothing unusual, just passersby coming and going.

It seemed that the gaze she felt on her a moment before was merely an illusion.

With a brief glint in her eyes, Sui Yi turned her head and entered the boarding gate. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
