Dong Mengxue sat in the back row, leaning her head on Lin Hao's back, recalling the past few days spent with him.
Although it had only been a few days, she felt very comfortable and close when she was with Lin Hao.
She couldn't help but think of him and want to be close to him, just like leaning on his back now.
Probably after the summer vacation, the two of them would have no more contact.
Lin Hao would go to the United States for school, and she would also go to university, separated by vast distances.
Thinking of this, Dong Mengxue felt a bit sad.
Lin Hao, however, didn't think so much.
He was just going to Japan and South Korea, and if things went quickly, he'd be back in one or two weeks, or at the latest, by the end of July or August.
By then, they could see each other every day.
As for studying abroad in the United States, although it was far away, it wasn't a difficult matter.
American universities had many holidays; there was a three-month summer vacation, over a month for winter break, and also spring break and so on.
Moreover, on this trip to Japan and South Korea, if nothing unexpected happened, buying a private jet upon return would be easy.
After arriving at Dong Mengxue's doorstep, the two faced each other for a long time.
"I'll wait for you to come back," Dong Mengxue said before leaving.
Lin Hao looked at Dong Mengxue's retreating figure, his heart stirred for a moment, but he quickly pushed that slight emotion away.
Although he didn't understand what was going on with his feelings for Dong Mengxue, he was a man who wanted to master eight languages.
How could he be caught up in romantic entanglements?
...
Early the next morning, Lin Hao, along with Zhang Dabiao, four bodyguards, and a four-person elite team, drove three cars towards Huaian Airport.
On the way back from Beijing to Huaian, they had driven for a full ten hours, and Lin Hao didn't want to experience that again.
Huaian Airport was not far from Huaian, but it was a small airport without international flights and was quite dilapidated.
One had to go to Beijing or Shanghai to catch an international flight to Japan.
Lin Hao had originally planned to depart from Shanghai, as it was a bit closer, but after thinking about it and considering what he planned to do next, he decided to depart from Beijing instead.
Among the nine people, everyone except Lin Hao, who wore casual clothes, was dressed in suits and ties.
The four-person elite team, of course, were there for business talks.
Zhang Dabiao's four bodyguards wore black suits, looking like gangsters from a movie, just missing sunglasses.
Although they didn't know why they had to dress like that, they certainly looked cool, and they would definitely be equipped with sunglasses in Beijing.
When Lin Hao and his group boarded the plane, the rate of people turning their heads was incredibly high.
Although Huaian was a provincial capital in 2002, it was only a small city of four or five tiers, not even comparable to Huaian.
Who could have imagined that 20 years later, it would become China's fastest-growing city?
At this time, very few people in Huaian wore formal attire, and the leader was an incredibly young man.
The flight attendant carefully led Lin Hao towards the business class, not daring to be negligent.
Looking at Lin Hao's handsome face, her face naturally turned red.
There was no first class or anything; the small airport only had business class.
Lin Hao and Zhang Dabiao sat in business class, while the others could only go to economy class.
It wasn't that Lin Hao was trying to save money, but there were no seats available.
Soon after, the plane took off.
After a stable flight, the flight attendant walked over to Lin Hao, asking warmly what he needed and what he wanted to drink.
Lin Hao looked at the flight attendant.
She was just average, so he wasn't very interested.
He asked for an eye mask and then closed his eyes to rest.
The flight attendant was still a bit unwilling.
She had seen clearly when Lin Hao boarded the plane; he had bodyguards with him, so he was probably the young master of some family.
But seeing the look in Zhang Dabiao's eyes, she had no choice but to give up.
Three hours later, the plane landed at Capital Airport.
Lin Hao had booked rooms at the Beijing Hotel early on.
He was planning to stay in Beijing for a day, and the hotel had arranged a car to pick them up.
After getting into the car, everyone headed straight for the hotel.
At the hotel, Lin Hao was led by a personal butler to the presidential suite.
When traveling, Lin Hao would not mistreat himself.
As for the others, although they weren't in the presidential suite, they were in executive suites, which were also of a high standard.
"Help me find a translator who knows Japanese and Korean, and I need them today," Lin Hao said to Yang Qian'er in the presidential suite, where the four-person elite team was also present.
Although he knew English, not having a Japanese and Korean translator would make the upcoming matters a bit troublesome, so Lin Hao still planned to find a translator.
"Okay, Lin Shao, do you have any requirements?"
"Time is tight, as long as they are good at Japanese and Korean, that's enough.
No other requirements."
"Okay, Lin Shao."
"You four go together and handle this matter."
After giving instructions, Lin Hao originally wanted to go out for a walk.
In his previous life, Lin Hao had stayed in Beijing for a long time and was quite familiar with it.
But after thinking about it, it seemed there wasn't much to see in Beijing in 2002.
Although it was much better than other places, it was far from comparable to the future.
In the afternoon, the four members of the elite team were very efficient.
It was the first time Lin Hao had given them a task, and after leaving, they immediately contacted the major headhunting companies in Beijing.
Soon after, the headhunting companies had candidates.
Because it was a part-time job, required knowledge of Japanese and Korean (a less common language), and involved traveling abroad, there weren't many people, and only three were recommended.
Shen Yuxuan was in her dormitory when she suddenly received a call from a headhunter who said they had found her a part-time translation job with a monthly salary of 3,000.
Seeing that her resume stated she knew Japanese and Korean, they recommended her, and now she needed to have an on-site interview.
Shen Yuxuan couldn't believe it.
She was a freshman this year and didn't want to go home for the summer vacation, so she stayed at school, hoping to find a summer job.
However, she didn't want to do jobs like serving dishes or cleaning.
She wanted to find a legitimate company to intern at.
But after searching for several days, as soon as they heard she was only a freshman, they all rejected her.
Finally, with no other options, she had to contact a headhunting company to help her find a job.
"Really? Is it really 3,000?"
3,000 yuan was indeed a high salary in this era.
At this time, the average salary in Beijing was only 1,800, less than 2,000, and the average salary in China was only a few hundred yuan.
The jobs Shen Yuxuan had looked for before, because they were internships, didn't exceed 1,000.
"Yes, Miss Shen, but the other party requires excellent Japanese and Korean skills, and you also need to travel with them to Japan and South Korea."
Hearing this, Shen Yuxuan's eyes lit up and she said, "Don't worry, my Japanese and Korean are definitely fine, and traveling abroad is also not a problem.
But is the other party's background okay?"
Shen Yuxuan had never been outside China before, and now that she could go out and see, she was eager.
However, she was still very concerned about safety.
"You can rest assured about this.
The other party is a Mining Company, and they are going to Japan and South Korea this time to discuss business.
They are short of a Japanese and Korean translator, and we have already verified it."
"Alright then, where is the address?
I'll go now."
"The address is at the Beijing Hotel, but the other party requires formal attire, so don't forget that."
