Chapter 708: Chapter 709 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 41_1

With the diploma in hand and the luggage already shipped to America,

the bags would temporarily be stored at the place of a senior who graduated from Harbor City University and is now studying in NY.

After Zhang Li arrives, she just needs to pick up her luggage from there.

Saying goodbye to classmates and professors, terminating the lease on her apartment, it can be said that everything is proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Looking at the apartment she had lived in for three years, Zhang Li felt somewhat reluctant to leave, remembering the countless nights she had spent analyzing data there.

Working on her paper, researching, she had seen the four o’clock mornings of Harbor City countless times, and as someone who disliked the taste of American coffee, she had nevertheless gotten used to it and could now down it in one gulp.

Yang Xue stood at the door. "Let’s go, our next journey is about to begin."

That said, Yang Xue sighed softly, "When I first saw this apartment, all I could think was how incredibly small it was."

"Yeah, so small." Zhang Li wiped away a tear, "It’s just a pity that we couldn’t afford a bigger place back then."

"Life will get better and better." Having lived here for three years, and with Mother Yang also having visited several times, she was no stranger to the small apartment.

"Right, once we’re in America, we must have two rooms, one for guests and another as a study," Zhang Li insisted that even if the guest room remained empty, it needed to be there.

Yang Xue felt the same way. Although she enjoyed living with Zhang Li and often stayed up late chatting over the past three years,

if possible, Yang Xue still hoped to have a room of her own, as everyone inevitably craves some personal privacy.

Mother Yang knew that the guest room was actually prepared for her and Father Yang; she had initially considered accompanying them to America as a chaperone.

In Harbor City, with its proximity to home and familiar food, she never had to worry.

But going to America, dietary issues would definitely be a concern—would they have the time and energy to cook amidst their busy studies?

Mother Yang thought that if she went with them, she could at least help with cooking and cleaning, simple tasks she could undoubtedly manage.

However, Father Yang objected. Occasional visits were fine, but a long-term stay was out of the question. No matter the conflicts between the two girls, it was their internal matter.

If Mother Yang got involved, it would only escalate the problems. It was better not to stay there regularly, only visiting when missing her daughter.

Mother Yang thought it made sense and thus abandoned the idea, not even tempted now by the mention of a spare room for guests.

After descending the stairs, the four grabbed a quick bite to eat downstairs before hailing a taxi to the airport.

Wei Xudong was also scheduled to return on today’s flight. There were things he needed to resolve, without which he would not be able to find peace.

The siblings happened to run into each other at the Harbor City airport. Upon seeing him, Zhang Li’s immediate desire was to curse him out.

Zhang Li harbored much dissatisfaction, but now Wei Xudong was truly a stranger to her.

Wei Xudong saw Zhang Li too and just stood there in front of her motionless.

Zhang Li walked right past him without a greeting or a second glance, treating him like a complete stranger.

Wei Xudong was taken aback as he watched Zhang Li, wondering whether to greet her. After a moment’s thought, he decided to wait and see how she acted before responding.

But to his surprise, Zhang Li really did treat him as a stranger, passing by without a second look.

Wei Xudong was dumbstruck, simply staring after her foolishly.

As Zhang Li pushed her luggage towards the boarding gate, showing no reaction whatsoever, Wei Xudong understood—he truly did not matter to her.

Yang Xue, aware that Zhang Li had severed ties with the Wei Family, naturally showed no response. Old Yang and his wife didn’t even know Wei Xudong and were even less affected. The four of them chatted as they made their way to the boarding gate.

The plane landed, and Zhang Li efficiently bid farewell to Yang Xue and her family. They were taking the airport shuttle back, while she had to make a trip to Wei’s Headquarters.

Originally, it was agreed that Wei’s would assist with the design plans because they had a comprehensive plan already.

Zhang Li came this time to make the final confirmation. If there were no issues, they would be ready to start the bidding process and begin construction.

The earlier construction started, the sooner it would be completed, which meant faster income. Once this office building was up, she would truly be comfortably collecting rent; just thinking about those easy days was exhilarating.

Her good mood lasted all the way to Wei’s, where she pushed her simple luggage through the bustling Wei’s Headquarters.

Well, in this era, for Wei’s to have such a scale, it’s no wonder Wei Xudong was quite proud.

The front desk at Wei’s was busy, receiving deliveries and contacting the offices upstairs.

After waiting for a moment, it was Zhang Li’s turn. "Hello, I’m looking for your president."

The receptionist didn’t expect someone to come looking for the president directly, especially a young girl. "May I ask who you are?"

"Zhang Li, just tell them that Zhang Li from Harbor City is here," she said, introducing herself briefly.

As soon as Zhang Li finished speaking, the receptionists were stunned, looking up at her.

They had truly never imagined that, in their lifetimes, they would see the legendary Zhang Li.

Seeing them frozen in place, she asked, "Is there a problem?"

The receptionist was jolted into action, "No problem at all, I’ll contact them immediately."

They certainly knew about the company’s major project, which was related to this young lady.

They also knew that Miss Wei from the Wei Family, who had really cut ties with the Wei Family so decisively, was not just anybody.

The receptionist quickly got in touch with someone upstairs, "I’ll take you to the elevator."

If it were a regular visitor, the receptionist would have just directed them to take the elevator up, but this person was different; she needed to be carefully accommodated.

"It’s alright, I can manage on my own," Zhang Li insisted. It wasn’t like she didn’t know where the elevator was, so she went by herself.

As Zhang Li left, many people rushed to the front desk, "Zhang Li, President Wei’s daughter."

The receptionist nodded again to confirm, "That’s her."

Everyone took a sharp breath, "She doesn’t seem like the type you’d want to mess with."

Now that they had their answer, they of course sped back to their offices to spread the news.

As soon as Zhang Li set foot in the President’s office, the office floors below were abuzz with the news that the former President’s daughter had arrived at the company.

Looking at the detailed plans, Zhang Li could say that the plan was really quite good, but there was one issue, "We should add a three-story commercial area below."

A commercial area? The head of Wei’s design team was taken aback, "Isn’t it supposed to be an office building?"

"Yes, Wei’s has its own cafeteria, so the employees have no issues with meals, and we don’t need to worry about that."

"But the situation is different for this office building. I’m renting it out floor by floor, and not every company will set up a kitchen—many employees will have difficulties with meals."

"Having a commercial area below, there could be places to eat, stores, even coffee shops and a gym."

Since the plan was to create a high-end commercial area, these factors must be taken into consideration.

"That way, the office workers upstairs won’t need to leave the building to eat," Zhang Li said, briefly explaining the plan.
