Capítulo 1257: Chapter 1242: I Want to Stay in Sunan
“You’re going to Pudong?”
Zhao Yan asked, frowning, “When? At least for the next half month, you can’t leave. There are so many things at headquarters, and in Guangdong, they’re all looking at your reputation. If you head to Pudong, who knows what might happen.”
“I’ll pick a time to go, it won’t be soon.”
Song Yun suddenly remembered Li Shishi mentioning over the phone last time that Sunnan University would have a batch of exchange students going to Pudong, and Li Yueyue wanted to sign up, but was rejected by the Li Family elder.
Pudong… exchange students?
Song Yun’s eyes lit up. This was indeed a rather good identity. When the time came, he could go to Pudong under this identity, which would not only divert attention but also be sufficiently low-key.
Last time when he went to the Pearl River Delta, he adopted a high profile strategy. But this time if he goes to Pudong, the old methods definitely won’t work. He might as well be discreet, smooth things over with White Tiger, and then check out his own enterprises. Who knows, things might just fall into place.
“What are you thinking about?”
Zhao Yan looked at Song Yun curiously.
“Nothing,” Song Yun shook his head, then calculated the time and said, “I guess I’ll go to Pudong in a little over two weeks.”
“It’s decided?” Zhao Yan asked.
“Yeah, a little over two weeks, go enjoy the international metropolis of Pudong.” A daring smile appeared on Song Yun’s face.
Actually, ever since returning from the Pearl River Delta, Song Yun’s life had gradually become leisurely and luxurious, doing nothing, living days of hitting on girls and walking dogs, with things seeming to improve without any waves or ups and downs. Yet, despite the ease, Song Yun always felt a sense of weakness.
This feeling is akin to the emptiness after making love with a girl, where at the peak moment the whole body shakes and then realizes it wasn’t all that meaningful, entering a sage mode.
“Pudong is such a big city.”
Zhao Yan sighed and said, “Back then, I started my financial career in Pudong. It’s too easy to create someone’s brilliance there, but it’s also quick to destroy someone.”
“That’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it?” Song Yun said with a smile, “If there were no challenges, wouldn’t it be boring?”
“Why didn’t I notice your adventurous spirit before?” Zhao Yan laughed and asked.
“That’s because nothing was worth the risk,” Song Yun said, just as he was about to boast a bit more, the phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, Song Yun winked at Zhao Yan, saying, “That’s settled then, I’ll head to Pudong in a little over two weeks to meet White Tiger.”
After saying this, Song Yun left Zhao Yan’s office.
Zhao Yan picked up a pen nearby, watched Song Yun leave in silence for a while, then took out a notebook and started writing.
Zhao Yan and Song Yun shared the same habit; he also liked to jot down important things or upcoming tasks in a notebook. Human energy is limited, and even someone as strong as Zhao Yan cannot guarantee he can remember everything.
Song Yun walked out of Zhao Yan’s office, ignoring the admiring looks thrown his way by those around him, quickly entering the elevator, closing the door, and answering the call.
“Yingying, you miss me, don’t you?”
Song Yun teased with a mischievous smile.
“Brother Song Yun, where… where are you?”
Xu Ying’s voice sounded a bit choked, which immediately made Song Yun tense up.
“What’s wrong?”
Song Yun asked with concern.
“Brother Song Yun, I… I want to see you.”
Xu Ying said, “Can you… can you come pick me up?”
“Where are you?” Song Yun asked.
“I’m at home…”
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, the elevator doors just happened to open, and Song Yun rushed directly to the parking lot.
Fifteen minutes later, Song Yun’s car arrived at the entrance of the Sunnan military compound.
The guard at the gate saw Song Yun’s car, saluted sharply and then let him through.
Familiar with the way, Song Yun arrived at Xu Hongxing’s detached villa, parked his car, and saw Mao Shan walking out from the villa.
“Brother Song Yun, why are you here!”
Mao Shan looked at Song Yun with a bit of surprise.
“Where’s Yingying?”
Song Yun was too preoccupied to chat with Mao Shan as Xu Ying’s choked voice over the phone had already made him anxious.
“Her? She’s in her room now. Ah, I see, Yingying asked you to come, right?” A look of sudden realization appeared on Mao Shan’s face.
“Yes, she did. What’s the matter with her?” Song Yun asked.
“Well, it’s actually a good thing… but… better if you ask her yourself. I guess, she can’t bear to part with Brother Song Yun.” Mao Shan said.
“Can’t bear to part with me?” Song Yun looked at Mao Shan, puzzled.
“Yes, that must be it. Brother Song Yun, go inside. My grandpa isn’t here.” Mao Shan said, “I have to train them at the brigade side. Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
“Let’s talk about dinner later, I’ll go inside first.” Song Yun said, walking directly through the downstairs door.
The maid of Xu Hongxing’s family was cleaning downstairs; seeing Song Yun coming, she was momentarily surprised, then smiled and said, “Mr. Song, you’re here.”
“I’m looking for Yingying, you continue your work.” Song Yun said while heading upstairs.
Arriving outside Xu Ying’s room, Song Yun heard faint sobbing from inside.
Knock knock knock
Song Yun gently knocked on the door.
“Don’t disturb me, I’m unhappy!”
Xu Ying’s voice came from the room.
“Not even Brother Song Yun can disturb you?” Song Yun said with a smile.
“Ah!”
A surprised cry came from inside the room, followed by a series of clattering sounds.
“Brother Song Yun, wait… don’t come in!”
Xu Ying shouted.
Song Yun stood helplessly at the door and asked, “Yingying, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine, Brother Song Yun, wait a moment, I need to wash my face.”
A minute later.
The door to the room opened.
Xu Ying appeared in front of Song Yun with a blushing face; besides the blush, Xu Ying’s eyes were also red, clearly having cried earlier.
“What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?” Song Yun stepped into Xu Ying’s room and asked.
“No, no one bullied me.” Xu Ying shut the door, walked over to her bed, sat down, and looked pitifully at Song Yun, saying, “Brother Song Yun, my mom and dad want me to intern in a hospital outside!”
“Intern in a hospital outside? Why?” Song Yun asked.
“They say the hospital there is better, where I can learn more, but… I don’t want to go outside, Brother Song Yun, I… want to stay in Sunnan!” Xu Ying said as her eyes reddened again.
