The smell of late spring finally faded in May. By June, the weather had completely entered the heat of summer.
Jianghai originally had a pleasant climate, with warm winters and cool summers. However, in recent years, global warming had become more serious, and the climate change here had become much more acute.
At the end of May, the plan to go to Saudi Arabia for the summer vacation had been finalized.
Dongfang Wan would find people to travel every winter and summer vacation, and the people she looked for were the same. However, this plan was the most unreliable. Going to Saudi Arabia for the summer was the worst.
In fact, the main reason was that it was on the way. Now that she was the director of several companies, she had to squeeze out time to travel every winter and summer vacation. Although according to her, she did not care much about the company's gains and losses, after all, it was still stressful.
In recent years, China had become the world's second largest economy, and it had frequent dealings with Saudi Arabia, a big oil country that did not lack money. In July this year, Dongfang Lu would bring a delegation to Saudi Arabia to solicit business. Dongfang Wan's company also had several cooperation intentions with Saudi Arabia, so she did not decline and went with them.
Dongfang Lu was now considered a rising star in the political world, but this was different from the financial world. A rising star in the political world was no different from a political gorilla. The rising star stage was just an ornamental animal.
This was because in the economic world, when a person reached a certain stage, their development would gradually stop or slow down. However, it was different in the political world. Every time a person was promoted, their power, status, and influence would jump three levels. He was only in his early thirties, and his current position was not much compared to Dongfang Wan's sister, who even senior officials had to personally receive. However, everyone knew that his future was limitless. Now was the time to accumulate achievements. Dongfang Wan was going with him this time, and she was considered the biggest force in the delegation, and also to support her brother.
"However, the people who are going with the delegation are all leaders, tycoons, and so on. Won't it be a little unnecessary for us to bring a family …"
In late June, a typhoon hit. That day, the school was on holiday, and the small clinic was naturally closed. The family stayed at home. Lingjing curled up on the sofa, holding a laptop and looking for information about Saudi Arabia.
Jiaming was sitting in front of the computer and playing video games with Yun Jie. Shasha was waiting for Yun Jie's character to be killed and take over, so as to resist the rule of Demon King Jiaming.
To be honest, the head of the family was a little bad. Abusing his wife and children was his greatest pleasure in gaming.
Xun was sitting on the carpet not far away with Yun Ting, who was more than three years old, in her arms. She was teaching Yun Ting how to read books.
To be honest, even though Yun Ting was born by Shasha, she resembled Yun Ting in some ways, but not in appearance. This little girl was not as noisy as her mother when she was young. She often sat quietly, but her pair of big eyes blinked. She was very curious about the things around her. She was very observant and smart. She was the little genius that everyone said was not like Jiaming or Shasha.
Some people even suspected that Yun Ting might have given birth to someone else's child in the hospital. Of course, this was also a kind joke.
However, there was no possibility of a mistake. Yun Ting resembled Jiaming in many ways. When Shasha gave birth to Yun Ting, it was in the small clinic. Jiaming, Lingjing, and Xun personally received her. Every time this happened, Jiaming would unceremoniously claim that he was the genius.
The wind was howling outside the window. The light that came in through the gap of the sealed window was as dark as the night. However, the room still felt warm and homely.
"It should be … possible … Forget it. Anyway, it was arranged by Dongfang Wan. Let's shamelessly go and have fun."
Jiaming shrugged shamelessly as he unceremoniously OK'd Yun Jie's character. "But it's okay to go to Saudi Arabia in the summer. Why didn't you go to the capital, Riyadh? Why did you go to Abha? What's so fun about Abha?"
"Abha is not bad."
Lingjing held the computer and retorted with the information on it. "Abha is a summer resort in Saudi Arabia. It's said that it's less than 30 degrees in the summer. It's better to go there in the summer."
"Uh … Whatever …"
Jiaming spread his hands and continued to beat Shasha, who was concentrating next to him. Yun Jie was disheartened and went to look at the travel information with his mother. Not long after, Yun Ting finished a set of mathematics questions for elementary education in Xun's arms. Shasha was looking at her in surprise when the character on the screen was OK'd.
Xun hugged Yun Ting and laughed. "Yun Ting is so good."
Shasha did not care about the gains and losses of the game for the time being. She smiled happily. "You are indeed my daughter. Smart!"
Yun Ting looked at the game on the other side and blinked. She poured cold water on her mother. "Mom is an idiot. I lost …"
Shasha instantly scrunched up her face and pretended to be angry and wronged. Jiaming laughed. "You are indeed my daughter … So mean." Then Shasha kicked him to the ground and snatched the game controller.
"Yun Jie, come here!"
Shasha called out to Yun Jie who was not far away. Yun Jie saw that his father was kicked away and nodded. He ran over. "Okay, okay."
Then he attacked his father. "It's the most boring to play against him. I respect the old and love the young. It's not easy to win against him."
"Yes, yes."
"Are you rebelling?"
Jiaming shouted for a while. Then he decided not to play video games with the two fools. He ran to the side and teased his smart little daughter. Then he went to accompany Lingjing to discuss the matter of going to Saudi Arabia.
Every year, there would be typhoons in Jianghai. Jia Ming and the others had been used to dealing with it since they were young. Since they lived together with Ling Jing and Shasha, every time there was a typhoon, it was the most interesting time. When they were studying and living together, whenever there was a typhoon, they would spend the whole day in bed, reading books, chatting, and playing cards. Now that they had a child, they also moved in. When the typhoon wreaked havoc, everyone was in a good mood together.
After the typhoon, Yun Jie's school entered the final exam, and then it was July.
The scheduled time of departure was July 5th. On this morning, Dongfang Wan had already rushed over. Then Ya Han also took Taotao to Jiaming's place. Taotao and Yun Jie always didn't see eye to eye. They always quarreled with each other. When they checked the luggage, Yun Jie encouraged Yun Ting to say something like "Hei Tao is a fool". Unfortunately, Yun Ting didn't offend anyone. She blinked her eyes and didn't speak. So he didn't succeed in the end.
This time, there were about 30 representatives of Dongfang Lu's company. They were a small team of three to five people. Plus the team of Dongfang Lu, the whole delegation was about 150 people in total.
A large chartered plane went directly to Al Abha, Saudi Arabia. The departure time was about two o 'clock in the afternoon. At noon, there would be a luncheon for them to get to know each other and contact each other. In fact, those who were interested in contacting each other had made connections with each other many days before. So, this luncheon was unnecessary.
Jiaming and Lingjing were not entrepreneurs. They didn't inquire about the business they were going to do. Anyway, it was the business of Ya Han and Xiaowan. In fact, although Ya Han and Dongfang Wan went there, they would not be directly responsible for these things. Probably, several representatives of the companies would follow them.
However, when it was time for the luncheon, Dongfang Wan was busy because of the social interaction. On the one hand, she was famous. On the other hand, the leader of the delegation was her brother, Dongfang Lu. As the host, she also had the idea of greeting other parties. Moreover, Lingjing, Shasha and other people were with Jiaming. On such an occasion, she couldn't always crowd there.
Ya Han's situation was not much better.
Jiaming and others hid aside to eat, taking Taotao with them.
The atmosphere in the luncheon was warm. These people seemed to know each other again. They chatted happily. But they really didn't know what the topic was.
But after a while, these people were recognized by an acquaintance. It was a woman with glasses who seemed to be a high-level white-collar worker. She came over and said with some surprise, "Gu Jiaming, Ye Lingjing, Liu Huaisha … Ah, and Xun, you are still together …"
"Wang Tujia?" Jia Ming blinked his eyes and recognized the other party.
She was Jiaming's classmate when he was in the Sacred Heart. At that time, Lingjing and Shasha were in different classes. It was lucky that she could recognize them. Lingjing and Shasha didn't know her, so they introduced her at once. Then Jiaming added with a smile, "She is my enemy. I still remember that she hit me with a stick."
Jiaming and Wang Tujia didn't have much contact in the class. But the experience of skiing in Europe in the winter vacation of the senior year of high school was impressive. Wang Tujia also laughed, "You are so annoying. You still remember it … I just saw Miss Zhang over there, and then I saw you. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I often go to the class reunion."
"I know. Xiao Wan organizes it every year. But I have been in the north these years and only came back last year."
This time, Wang Tujia was working as a manager for a large company in Jianghai. This time, she went to Saudi Arabia as one of the contract representatives to complete a task. She heard that Jiaming was currently opening a small clinic. This time, he was dragged by Dongfang Wan to travel. She also laughed, "Xiao Wan is still so enthusiastic."
The group chatted for a while. When Wang Tujia temporarily left, Lingjing noticed another woman who seemed to have been watching them for a long time. When she looked over, the fashionably dressed woman walked over and said hesitantly, "Ye Lingjing?
Gu Jiaming?
Don't tell me … you are from Hongxing Primary School? "
"Ah, you are …"
"Jin Shuping. Do you still remember?"
"No way."
Lingjing laughed in surprise. Then she pulled on Jiaming's hand and shook it, "Jiaming, do you still remember? Do you still remember?"
"What day is it today? It's an old classmate reunion …"
Jiaming also laughed. He had a deep impression of his high school classmates. It was not strange to meet Wang Tujia in such a place. However, it was rare to meet an elementary school classmate who he had not contacted for many years.
Jiaming had always left an impression on most things. At this time, he naturally remembered. Back then, at Hongxing Primary School, he and Lingjing were in the same class. Lingjing was the class leader, and she was the vice class leader and entertainment committee member. The two of them often competed. Unlike Lingjing, who was always obedient, Jin Shuping had a charming feeling in her beauty at a young age. She also had a sharp arrogance, so she was not as popular as Lingjing.
Thinking back to the competition when they were young, it was naturally very interesting. Jiaming had never had a sense of existence at that time. Now that she heard that Lingjing was married to him, Jin Shuping looked at him in surprise, "Oh right, you were together at that time. How rare … Oh right, Jiaming is now …"
"He opened a small clinic."
"Oh, he runs a hospital?"
"No, it's really a small clinic. There are only … a few people …"
After Jiaming explained, Jin Shuping was a little confused. In fact, most of the people who went this time were related to big companies and entrepreneurs. If Jiaming and the others were really unrelated, why would they go with them?
Then, she naturally talked about Dongfang Wan's invitation. Zhang Ya Han was their teacher in the Sacred Heart and so on. This time, they were going purely for a vacation.
Hearing Dongfang Wan and Ya Han's names, Just now was a little enlightened. Then, she laughed.
"Ah, actually, I'm also going for a vacation. I even brought my two children. Now that you mention it, it's great that we can all go together."
Jin Shuping looked back at the crowd behind her as she spoke. "Oh right, where are my husband and the others … I'll go find them. Later, we can all get to know each other and chat on the way."
After she left, Wang Tujia came back again. "Wow, do you know Jin Shuping?"
"She's my classmate in primary school. I haven't seen her for a long time. She used to quarrel with Lingjing. If she didn't hear you call our names just now, she definitely couldn't recognize us … Do you also know her?"
"I know her, but she doesn't know me."
Wang Tujia said with a smile. "Her husband is Tian Sihao, the chairman of Jiayu Group. He is in the energy industry. You should have heard of him, right?"
"Oh, he often advertises on TV recently …"
Jiayu Group was a big company. In terms of scale and influence, it was about the same as Yahan's family's Zhang Heavy Industries. This time, when they went to Saudi Arabia, their companies would probably be second only to the Dongfang family.
Soon after, Jin Shuping came with her husband, followed by a pair of siblings. They were probably their two children.
Tian Sihao was more than forty years old. He looked very courageous. His two children were ten years old and eleven years old. Relatively speaking, Taotao was twelve years old this year, and Yunjie was eight years old. It seemed that there was not much difference between them, but the siblings were a little fatter.
Having such a husband, Jin Shuping was quite proud. This was human nature. They chatted with each other. They didn't have much mentality of comparison. Most of them were nostalgic.
After the dinner, they rested for a while and then boarded the plane. This was a large passenger plane with standard configuration that could accommodate four or five hundred people. The facilities inside were changed. There were less than two hundred passengers, so the space was quite spacious.
They didn't know how Dongfang Lu organized it, including Jiaming's family and Jin Shuping's family. There were two other families who really went to travel. After Xun and Shasha found their seats, they were teasing little Yunting. Lingjing was in front of Jin Shuping, reminiscing about the past. Jiaming took some time to chat with Ya Han behind. Taotao, Yunjie, and the pair of fat siblings were nowhere to be seen. But in front of outsiders, Yunjie and Taotao completely stopped their bad habits of fighting when they were together. They were quite united and affectionate.
There was still some time before the plane took off. Under the introduction of Lingjing, Tian Sihao got closer to Dongfang Wan. They were talking about something about this trip. Jiaming and Ya Han were talking about Taotao behind them. They said that Taotao and Yunjie often fought, but they were quite united. In the plane, Hsu Yi-ting, as the fiancée of Dongfang Lu and the president of Wanting Electronics, also ran around.
After a while, someone ran over in a hurry. This person was probably a representative of Tian Sihao. When Jiaming went over to listen curiously, he found that it was one of the four children who were playing over there. The little fat boy probably quarreled with Gu Yunjie and cried because of anger. No one knew why. Dongfang Wan looked at Jiaming with a faint smile. Jiaming was too lazy to pay attention to these things. Dongfang Lu also came over with a smile on his face. He also said that the little fat boy cried. Tian Sihao waved his hand, "Don't worry about these things. It's normal for children to quarrel with each other. Let them be!"
Jin Shuping thought for a while, and then she stood up with a smile, "I'll go and have a look."
Dongfang Lu talked with Tian Sihao for a while, and then he walked aside with Jiaming. Seeing that no one was looking at them, he couldn't help laughing. No one knew what funny thing he saw. He had maintained a good friendship with Jiaming, so he didn't need to put on airs with a straight face, "I saw the whole process just now."
"What?"
"Your son is too cruel. There's nothing to say. It's so wonderful. He only said one sentence from the beginning to the end. The little fatty was not good enough at all."
"Come on, why are you so gloomy? You peeped at a few children quarreling."
"I just saw it by accident. It's not a big deal.
You know, the brother and sister should be proud of their family background. Their father is the boss of a company. They know that their mother can't beat Lingjing when they were in primary school, so they wanted to vent their anger … Maybe it's a pure psychology of comparison. First, they proudly boasted that their family is very good, and their father is very powerful. Then they asked Yunjie what his family does … It's not appropriate for him to ask Taotao, because he knows that Taotao's mother is very powerful.
However, Yunjie only said one sentence from the beginning to the end. After talking for a long time, the little fatty cried … "
"One sentence … What sentence …"
"My father is a doctor …"
"Uh, how can this sentence make people cry …" Although Yunjie's character was brought up by him, Jiaming thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out how this sentence made people cry. Dongfang Lu laughed for a while, "Then I'll show you …"
"First of all, the little fatty boasted for a while, and then he asked Yunjie what his father does. Yunjie said proudly, 'My father is a doctor.'"
"But my father runs an energy company. It's a big company. Isn't he powerful?"
"But my father is a doctor!"
"Yes, your father runs a small clinic. My family's company is much bigger …"
"I know, but my father is a doctor!"
"So what? My father is very powerful."
"My father is a doctor!"
"There are a lot of things in my family … Uh, blah, blah, blah …"
"What's the big deal? My father is a doctor!"
"…"
"My father is a doctor. What about your father?"
"He is big!
Old!
Stupid! "
"Oh, but my father is a doctor!
Humph! "
Probably speaking of this, Jiaming understood. He lowered his head and smiled implicitly. Dongfang Lu laughed for a while, "The most powerful sentence is not this sentence. Your Yunjie's performance is too excellent. From the beginning to the end, he was very proud. My father is a doctor!
It seems that only doctors are the most powerful in the world, and the big boss is nothing. There is no doubt and no need to discuss. That little fatty doesn't know how to analyze this. He showed off for a long time, but he didn't have any sense of achievement. Then he collapsed, hahaha … "
This was just a small episode before the plane took off. Although the two pairs of siblings couldn't play together after that, according to Taotao's words, "They are more stupid than Sha Jie …" But the relationship between adults would not be affected by this.
The plane took off from Jianghai at two o 'clock in the afternoon. It was estimated that it would arrive at Abha between seven and eight o' clock in the evening in Saudi Arabia. Because there were five time zones between them, it actually took eleven hours to fly.
During this period, the representatives were discussing about the trip on the plane. The children were looking for their favorite games to play. Soon after, some people went to bed in advance.
This time, it was not only the team from China that went to Abha. Over the years, Saudi Arabia began to build various economic cities. The economic forces of various countries had participated in looking for opportunities. In fact, this Abha party was not only for opportunities in Saudi Arabia. If they went the right way, they could also have opportunities to cooperate with some enterprises in Europe and the United States.
Lingjing didn't understand these things, but Jin Shuping was very concerned about these things. In fact, she also participated in the affairs of Jiayu Group. She was not a simple housewife. At this time, she gossiped with Lingjing about some secrets of the economic circle.
Women had no responsibility to gossip when they were together. The difference was that Jin Shuping had sources of information. Although some of the things she said seemed to be weak, they were actually quite reliable. Lingjing nodded repeatedly.
Jiaming yawned and found a seat to sleep.
After a while, someone came to pat his head. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Dongfang Wan. She sat down beside Jiaming, "Hey, in fact, you know it, right?"
"What?"
"The news that your old classmate said."
"Oh." Jiaming nodded a little blankly. Then, he shook his head. "How would I know?"
"Tsk, the biggest mastermind behind Europe's economy, the empress, and so on …"
"Natalie?
Anise and Kelly?
Fornim? "
"See, actually, it's more intimate if you don't mention their surnames."
"I don't know. I only heard that Heidi is going to Abha for a holiday …"
"Dishonest." Dongfang Wan rolled her eyes, then got up and left.
"You're disturbing my sleep …"
Jiaming mumbled and lay there to continue sleeping. When he woke up, the plane had begun to land. In Saudi Arabia, the legendary land where water was more expensive than oil, it was drizzling. Jiaming was petrified when he walked out of the cabin door. He felt a little helpless. "It's actually raining. Where else can I go to play? I really came to Saudi Arabia to escape the summer …"
When he checked the local news on his computer, he was pleasantly surprised to see that there would be rain in Abha in the next few days … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the legal reading!)
