On Monday morning, Fang Xiaogang arrived at the company in a good mood.
Ada greeted the receptionist, who he hadn't seen for a week, and entered his office. It was very clean. It seemed that the company had arranged for someone to clean it.
He couldn't see Shirley, so he picked up his phone and wanted to send her a WeChat message. However, she quickly walked in from the corridor.
"Here, business trip allowance." She handed him a cash check.”
"Thank you. You rarely speak English now.”He took it with a smile.
"I got used to it after the context changed. After all, Chinese is my mother tongue.”She returned to her desk.
"More than 160,000? The benefits are so good?" He was surprised to see the number on it.
"Uh-huh, I've calculated it according to your salary, plus all kinds of subsidies that you can enjoy. Especially since you were injured on duty. Have you forgotten about your leg?”
Fang Xiaogang touched his thigh that had been scratched. He didn't feel anything anymore. "This is considered an injury on duty? Alright, the company was not short of money anyway. It would be a waste not to take it.”He put the check in his wallet.
Shirley watched him put away the check and said,"Bring the check back to your wife before your next business trip. Anyone can take a cash check.”
"What's wrong? Are we going on a business trip again? Have you received any news?" he asked.
Xue Li smiled and said,"Wait for the notification."
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard someone knocking on the door. Fang Xiao turned around and saw that it was President Ma.
He leaned against the door and smiled at them with a cup of coffee in his hand."Mr. Fang, your business trip is really enviable. With a beautiful woman as your companion, you can relax for a week.”
Fang Xiaogang didn't know how to respond. Xue Li frowned and replied,""This is a subsidy from the head office. It won't affect the business of the branch office.”
He raised his hand and smiled.""I'm just here on behalf of Sophia and Simon to ask if you want to treat us to lunch.”
"Ah, this is necessary. I was afraid that you wouldn't do me the honor." Fang Xiaogang quickly smiled and continued.
"Then let's say that. I'll go tell them the good news.”Boss Ma smiled and nodded before turning around to leave.
He turned around to look at Xue Li, who was still frowning. Fang Xiaogang couldn't help but ask her with a smile,"What's wrong? It was human nature. After taking so much, he had to entertain his colleagues.”
She nodded and said,"I'm afraid I won't be able to treat them to dinner in time."”
"What's wrong? Are you really going on a business trip again?" he asked in surprise.
President Ma knocked on the door of General Manager Simon's office and said with a smile,""CEO Feng, consultant Fang is treating us to lunch.”
"Is that so? I'm afraid not." "He's going to Europe for a business trip in the morning."”
"F * ck, this guy doesn't stop at all.”Boss Ma cried out involuntarily.
When Feng Xingmo went to Fang Xiaogang's office to look for him, he saw Shirley chatting with him. Two large Rimowa suitcases were placed in a conspicuous position in the office.
"It seems that Mr. Fang already knows the itinerary?”He smiled and entered.
"No, I'm still waiting for CEO Feng to arrange a job for me.”Fang Xiaogang said.
President Feng smiled and said,"What arrangement? At most, I'm just a messenger." Ever since Mr. Fang came, our branch company has finally seen the true strength of the head office. In the past, we only had a vague concept.”
"I'm ashamed, ashamed." He felt a little awkward.
"No need, really. This is a good thing. It also gives us hope that one day we can enjoy the treatment of being close to you.”CEO Feng did not seem to be mocking him.
"Then what is my job?"
"I don't know. I can only tell you that you have to leave for Shanghai's Pu Dong Airport as soon as possible and take a flight to Frankfurt at one o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, you should go with Xue Li.”President Feng said.
"F * ck, the plane tickets are so expensive." He smiled and stuck out his tongue.
Shirley wasn't surprised. She returned to her desk and carried her bag with her notebook. She urged,"Then let's hurry up and set off."
"Wait, we're leaving today? I don't think I have a visa. No, I don't have a passport either.”Fang Xiao had just reacted.
"You didn't prepare all these?" President Feng asked in surprise.”
"It's okay. We'll just go to the airport.”Shirley placed a suitcase in front of Fang Xiaogang and pulled the handle of the other one, indicating for him to set off immediately.
" Looks like I'm in a hurry. I'll be leaving then. About that, the lunch I promised Boss Ma…"
"Don't take it to heart. It's all work.”President Feng left the office and made way for them."Be careful on the road. Treat us to a meal when you come back."
"Definitely, definitely." He and Shirley left the company with their luggage.
They went to the garage and put their luggage into the car. Shirley got into the driver's seat first.
"Let me drive." She sat there without saying anything.
Fang Xiaogang was happy that he didn't have to drive, but he saw that her expression was a little serious. Shirley focused on driving the car to the ground, her fingers subconsciously tapping the steering wheel handle. Her brows were locked, and she looked especially serious.
Before he could ask her anything, she spoke first,"Put the check home first and let your wife retrieve it. There are only ten days.”
"Oh, alright. Will you be gone for a long time?"
Shirley did not answer his question. She looked at the time in the car and said,"Time is a little tight. Do you want to go back to your house and see the children?”
"What? There's no need, right? Let's talk when we get back."
"Oh." Shirley didn't say anything. She drove very fast and even ran a red light when she passed an intersection with few cars. He could feel the flashes of light behind him in broad daylight. It was obvious that he had been photographed. Fang Xiaogang thought to himself,"It seems that the head office doesn't care about the penalty."
Xue Li had never been to his house, but she drove the car into his neighborhood. However, he didn't know how to drive after entering the residential area. He had to rely on Fang Xiaogang to guide him. After parking the car at the entrance of the unit, Shirley said,""Hurry up and come back."
"Do you want to go up and take a look?”he said.
Shirley shook her head in the car. Fang Xiaogang was just joking, but she seemed to have something on her mind today, so she didn't take his burden.
When he got home, he placed the check on the living room table and found a pen and paper to write: "The company gave me the allowance for my business trip. You just have to withdraw it as soon as possible.”After writing, he suddenly muttered to himself,"Why would I write this? I could have just made a phone call."”
When the elevator went down, he saw Shirley on the phone in the car. When she got into the car, she had just hung up.
"Uh, who's looking for you? Does the company have any arrangements?" he asked.
"Yes, the company can always arrange everything. Let's go." Shirley didn't seem to answer his question.
The car got on the highway as fast as it could and sped all the way to Shanghai.
"You're not quite right today. You have a lot on your mind.”Fang Xiaogang said.
"Yes, I have some things on my mind. I'm going back to my second hometown. I miss it a little.”Xue Li gave him a noncommittal answer.
"You mean Basel? That beautiful city?" He became interested.
"Many cities in Europe have different types of beauty, unlike our country, which has many small districts.”
"CEO Feng didn't say what we were going to do. He didn't give us any information.”
Shirley thought for a moment and said,"Maybe I'll give you the information when I get there."”
After driving for a while, Shirley suddenly asked,""Have you told your wife?"
"About the check? He left a note."
"Is there nothing else you need to tell your family?”
Fang Xiaogang was stunned." Nothing. What's wrong?" he asked.”
Shirley forced a smile and said,"It's okay."”
The car drove into a service area and stopped next to an equally white Porsche Panamera TurboS. A person got out of the car and knocked on the front passenger window. The person was smiling. He took a look and saw that it was Liu Ying. A tall European woman got off the car with Liu Ying. She was wearing a gray sports jacket, which looked like what athletes wore when they participated in the Olympic Games.
"Is there enough electricity?" Liu Ying asked Xue Li.
"Enough." Shirley nodded.
"Then we'll come up." Shirley opened the door to the back seat for them, and the two women got into the car.
"Eh? President Liu, why are you here?" Fang Xiaogang waited for them to get into the car before he had the chance to ask.
"I'm here as an escort. I'm going to Europe as a group.”As she spoke, she took off a coat, revealing the low-cut dress underneath.
The tall European woman also raised her hand to greet Fang Xiaogang."Mr. Fang, we meet again." His Mandarin was surprisingly accurate, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"And you are?" he said in surprise.
"Guna." she said expressionlessly.
"Have you forgotten about her? She saved your life." Liu Ying laughed.
While they were talking, the car had already started and was on the highway again. It was suspected that it was speeding and went straight to Shanghai's Pu Dong Airport.
Guna didn't say much after getting into the car. She looked at Fang Xiaogang for a while and then looked out of the window. Liu Ying took out some snacks from her bag and distributed them to everyone. At the same time, she handed a small notebook to Fang Xiaogang.
He took it and saw that it was a passport. "Mine?" As he asked, he opened it and saw his name on the back of the title page. The page was bright and shiny. Looking at it under the sunlight, it was full of laser anti-counterfeit prints. The photo was very realistic, but Fang Xiaogang really couldn't remember when he had taken this photo. Flipping further, on page 9, there was a visa with his photo on it. At the top of the VISA, the most eye-catching words were the words " ET ATSSCHEN ". "Is this my German visa? When did you do it?"
"Of course, I've already started to help you. It takes a long time to apply, so the company has already helped you speed it up. This was a Schengen visa, so he could basically go to Europe.”Liu Ying said with a smile.
"You guys are going too?" He turned around and looked at the two women in the back row.
"Yeah, I won't disturb your honeymoon in Europe, right?”Liu Ying laughed.
When they were about to reach the airport, Liu Ying received a call."Yes, that's right. Wait at the entrance. It's a white Tesla SUV. How about this, we'll pay you 100 yuan per hour, and if it's less than an hour, it'll be counted as an hour. Is that okay? Alright, then don't worry. I'll definitely give you the money.”She hung up the phone.
"Who is it?" Fang Xiaogang asked.
"Driver, how are we going to stop the car if we all get off?”she said.
As expected, a middle-aged man was waiting at the departure point. Liu Ying paid him a hundred yuan. Guna quickly got off the car to get their luggage. She took care of everyone's luggage alone, and the four of them entered the airport.
Guna dragged her luggage and followed behind Fang Xiaogang. She refused Fang Xiaogang's request to help her with her luggage. Liu Ying and Xue Li split up and took Fang Xiaogang's ID card, boarding pass, border inspection, and shipping. Then, the four of them went through the special green passage for security checks and went to the first-class VIP lounge to rest.
When Xue Li went to get some drinks and snacks, Liu Ying took the opportunity to sit on Fang Xiaogang's thigh.
"Look, it's actually not even been half a month. Why do I feel like we've become so unfamiliar?”She raised her chin in Shirley's direction.
"Yeah, you're not by my side. How can I not fall in love with someone else?”Fang Xiaogang said half-truthfully.
"Then, aren't I by your side now? I'm still with you. You can return your thoughts to me now, right?”She teased.
During this period of time, Cher also turned around to take a few glances. When she saw the situation here, she only smiled, as if she didn't care at all. Guna, on the other hand, was always silent. She sat in an inconspicuous corner and secretly observed everyone. When Xue Li came back with a drink, Liu Ying stood up from him calmly and found a seat beside him.
As she arrived late, it was time to board the plane after finishing a cup of coffee. Lufthansa Flight LH729 took off at 1:50 p. m. from Terminal T2 and flew directly to Frankfurt. There were a total of 12 first-class cabins on the plane, and they occupied one-third of them. Shirley and Guna were both proficient in German, which made them more enthusiastic.
After boarding the plane, Shirley said to the flight attendant in German,"This gentleman doesn't understand German. He's our boss, so you can ask me for the items he needs.”Therefore, the air stewardess asked all of Fang Xiaogang's questions directly to Shirley, including what to eat, drink, and whether she needed a blanket.
This was Fang Xiaogang's first time sitting in first class. Of course, it was also his first time sitting in business class last week, but the difference between the two was still very big. He didn't know if it was because of the difference in the airline, but the first-class service gave him a particularly noble feeling, even though the stewardess didn't seem to ask him anything. She only smiled at him and expressed her respect with body language. There was a crystal glass filled with lemonade, a few plates of nut snacks, a spacious seating area, and a fresh red rose in a white porcelain bottle by the windowsill.
The large space also separated him from Xue Li and the others, making it inconvenient for them to talk. The seat was so comfortable, so he might as well sleep first. While waiting for the economy class passengers to board the plane, he really fell asleep. He didn't even wake up when the plane took off.
She was woken up from her nap by the sound of the air stewardess serving the meal on the plane. The air stewardess was not young anymore, but her makeup was as appropriate and exquisite as possible. There were all kinds of food in the small plates, such as bread, caviar, beef, fish, sausages, and many other vegetables and fruit salads. No wonder Xue Li didn't bring him fried rice and noodles in the waiting room.
Seeing that he had woken up, Shirley came over from her seat to look at him. Now, she seemed to be in a better mood and was not as silent as before.
She gently patted his hand and said,"See if you're satisfied with what I ordered for you. Don't go look at the sun later.”
"It's good. Even if you sit so far away, I don't have anything to see.”
"It's easy to chat with President Liu, and you're also glib with me.”she said with a smile.
"How long do we have to fly?" he asked.
"12 hours."
"I think this chair is very big. When we sleep later, why don't you come over and sleep with me?”he asked.
"No, I can't believe you thought of that. I told the stewardess that you were my boss.”Xue Li rolled her eyes at him and left.
