Chapter 438 Air Courier Titi
In June, the capital city is bathed in blue skies and white clouds, with red walls and black tiles. A breeze blows, rippling the waters of Shichahai Lake, and the leaves on the shore sway, leaving dappled shadows on the ground.
Fu Ziyan stepped out of the car, and Meng Tiao beside her whispered a report on the company's situation in Hong Kong: "Yvonne sent word that the hotel's electronic door lock system, developed in cooperation with Philips, has been completed, and the president of the Western European region has already departed for Hong Kong..."
Yvonne was Fu Ziyan's special assistant when she managed the Western European branch of Yuanxi Hotel. After graduating, Fu Ziyan chose to stay in Western Europe and transitioned from special assistant to management.
Since last year, Fu Ziyan has been collaborating with Philips to develop a special electronic door lock for the Yuanxi Hotel, and now the results are finally in sight.
Fu Ziyan turned her head and instructed Meng Tiao, "Get ready, we'll be going back in the next couple of days."
These past few days, she's been staying in the capital under the guise of investigating the capital's market, occasionally going to her uncle and aunt's house for meals. After a few days, it's time for her to return home.
"Yes."
As the two were talking, they stepped into the hotel and ran into Fu Zizi, whom they rarely saw during the day. Fu Zizi was carrying a stack of books and documents and greeted them with a smile.
Fu Ziyan asked in surprise, "Xiao Zi didn't go out with Deng Yuanfei today?"
Fu Zizi shook her head and explained, "I went to Tsinghua University today. As long as all the procedures are in order, I can start teaching at the university when the semester starts in the second half of the year."
Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows.
Uncle is so fast! Just the other day, when we were talking about Fu Zizi's future development, Fu Ziyan came back and asked Fu Zizi for her opinion. The day after Zizi agreed, Uncle arranged for someone to take Fu Zizi to the Education Bureau. I didn't expect that in just a few days, Fu Zizi had already passed the interview at Tsinghua University and become a prospective university teacher.
Fu Ziyan didn't ask her if she had made up her mind, but calmly told her, "I plan to go back to Hong Kong in the next few days. What are your plans?"
Fu Zizi pursed her lips: "Sister Yan Yan, I'll go with you. We still need to go back and get some documents." Most importantly, she needed to make it clear to her mother that since she had made up her mind, she didn't intend to run away anymore.
Fu Ziyan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll have Meng Tiao buy the tickets together."
Although there aren't many civilian aircraft in mainland China, there are daily flights to Guangzhou, and Meng Tiao quickly bought a ticket to Guangzhou for the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, Li Quyi and his wife also learned that Fu Ziyan was about to leave.
Zhang Yuan said with some reluctance, "You're leaving so soon?"
Fu Ziyan sat down next to her aunt and coaxed her with a smile, "I'll be back soon, Auntie, please don't find me annoying then."
Li Quyi seemed to understand what she meant and asked, "Is that hotel in Guangzhou about to be completed?"
Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "Judging from the current progress, it should be completed in the first half of next year, and if all goes well, it can start trial operation around National Day."
In fact, the White Swan Hotel in her previous life was not officially completed and opened until 83. Due to imperfect policies and regulations, the actual construction progress was once hindered. This life was not without its obstacles, but her years of travel to the mainland were not for nothing. With connections in various places, the construction went relatively smoothly, so it was able to be completed a year earlier than the one in her previous life.
Li Quyi nodded: "Good, be careful on your way back."
"Don't worry. I'll stop by Panyu when I pass through Guangzhou. Is there anything you'd like to bring for Ziheng, Auntie? I'll take it with me on the way."
Since they were family, Zhang Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and went inside to get a small schoolbag.
“Xiao Song is starting elementary school this year, so Titi, please help your aunt bring him his schoolbag.” Originally, I planned to mail it over the mail in a while, but since my niece could bring it along, it saved me the trouble of mailing it.
Fu Ziyan took it and chuckled, "It's been a few years since I've seen Xiaosong and Xiaoyu. I wonder if they'll still recognize me. Is Auntie only giving it to Xiaosong? Xiaoyu must be crying."
Zhang Yuan chuckled, "You're right. I'll go shopping this afternoon and bring it to you when I see you off at the hotel tomorrow." It wasn't just luggage for Aheng's family, but also a gift for Titi.
"Did your aunt come to see me off?"
“Of course.” Zhang Yuan chuckled. “Which family doesn’t see their child off when they go out? It’s not just me, your uncle is going too.”
It's a pity we can't see each other off at the airport; that would be too extravagant. But it's better to keep it low-key at the hotel.
Fu Ziyan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and looked up at her uncle.
Li Quyi still maintained his serious and unsmiling demeanor.
But this is the "serious" uncle who was willing to see her off at the hotel!
It was so rare that the plane landed in Guangzhou, and Fu Ziyan even brought it up when she went to Panyu to see Li Ziheng.
As expected, Li Ziheng was envious.
When he came to take up his post in the south, Commander Li was busy with official business and did not have time to see him off. After that, he rarely had the opportunity to be seen off by Commander Li whenever he traveled to and from the capital.
As expected... girls are still more popular!
As the girl, Fu Ziyan, watched Li Ziheng's sour expression, she took out the items from the small suitcase one by one. Li Ziheng's smile disappeared and instantly shifted to the faces of his wife and children.
Wow, what a beautiful backpack!
Fu Ziyan handed the denim backpack to Li Xiaosong and explained, "This is a school gift that Grandma prepared for you."
Li Song happily took the bag and put it on his back, frequently turning his head to look back at the backpack; his affection for it was beyond words.
It's no wonder Li Song liked it. In those days, not many children had new schoolbags when they started school. Most children used hand-me-down schoolbags from their older siblings or uncles and aunts. Even in the county government compound where Li Ziheng's family lived, where the standard of living was among the top in the county, not every child starting school had a new schoolbag.
Besides, this new backpack is made of denim!
As a pioneering county in China's reform and opening up, Panyu quickly embraced the Hong Kong trend, and many young people considered owning jeans to be fashionable. Under these circumstances, Li Song acquired a denim backpack.
Seeing how much Li Song loved it, Fu Ziyan found it amusing but also felt a pang of sadness. She decided to buy all the schoolbags and stationery that were popular with children when she returned to Hong Kong.
Like her brother, Li Yu was also very happy.
His bright eyes were practically glued to the wooden box of pastries. He secretly swallowed, his little voice full of anticipation: "Auntie, did Grandma give me this whole box?"
“Yes, your grandma went out to buy it for you early this morning,” Fu Ziyan solemnly handed the small handle to Li Yu, but didn’t let go immediately, and reminded him with a smile, “But remember to brush your teeth properly after you eat it!”
"Of course, Auntie, I'm a good baby who loves brushing my teeth!" Li Yu said, tugging at the handle.
Hehe, it can be dragged now!
Jujube blossom pastry, donkey roll, pea flour cake, kidney bean roll...
Suck!
They're all his, hehehe.
Fu Ziyan was amused by her little nephew; this kid is truly a born comedian.
Lin Ling was quite happy holding the silk scarf and dress.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford it; in fact, the shops in Panyu, being close to Hong Kong, had more fashionable clothes. She was simply happy for her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness. Despite the distance between them, her mother-in-law always remembered her when she sent things.
Upon seeing the white shirt Ms. Zhang had prepared for him, Li Ziheng's sourness vanished.
Although Ms. Zhang prepared a shirt for him, and he already had four white shirts like that in his room, his mother still loved him!
Zhang Yuan: For office workers, shirts are the most practical thing to wear.
After meeting Li Ziheng's family, Fu Ziyan hurriedly got into the car and headed to the textile processing factory.
To avoid trouble, Fu Zizi was left in Guangzhou and not brought to meet Li Ziheng. Therefore, she could only stay in Panyu for one day to inspect the textile processing factory before leaving.
