Chapter 402: The rhythm of making trouble!

~8 min read 1,402 words

Before he could think too much, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Xu Tian glanced at the caller ID and found it was Yan Qingxue calling.

"Xu Tian, haven't you returned to the country yet?"

"Almost, I'll be back tomorrow," Xu Tian replied.

"Why has this business trip taken so long? Are you really on a business trip, or did you go out to fool around?"

Yan Qingxue was straightforward and never liked to beat around the bush. Although she knew Xu Tian was on a business trip before, she didn't know exactly what he was doing, so she just assumed the company had sent him out for something.

But in the few days Xu Tian had been gone, she had inquired within the company and found that there were no recent activities requiring a business trip, so she became suspicious of Xu Tian's itinerary this time.

"I really have something to do on this business trip; how would I have time to fool around?" Xu Tian explained helplessly.

"Why are you looking for me so late?"

"I wanted to remind you not to forget about going to the Yan family's old house next week. I've already chosen the gifts you asked me to pick," Yan Qingxue complained.

"You were the one who brought up going there. If you don't show up when the time comes and leave me to face the Second Uncle's family alone, I can't guarantee what will happen."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you go alone."

With Yan Qingxue's temper, she would likely suffer at the hands of Yan Second Uncle's family. Even if she wanted to go alone, Xu Tian wouldn't agree.

"I'll be back in Jiangcheng tomorrow. Let's talk about other things when I get to the company the day after tomorrow."

"Xu Tian, be honest, did you go out this time behind my younger sister-in-law's back to fool around with other women?" Yan Qingxue suddenly adopted a questioning tone.

"Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot learn from that scumbag Xu Rixin and play the field. If I catch any evidence, I'll go to your girlfriend and report you, and make you capsize."

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh and cry at these words. Was he really a scumbag in Yan Qingxue's eyes who idled away his time all day and used business trips as an excuse to fool around with other women?

It seemed that the shadow Xu Rixin had left on her was indeed very deep.

"Why aren't you talking? Did I guess right?"

Yan Qingxue's expression changed. Originally, she thought she would be refuted by Xu Tian as soon as she finished speaking, but she waited for a long time and there was no movement from the other side.

"Don't worry, I'm really on a business trip for official business. My girlfriend knows, too. There aren't those dog-blood plots you've imagined. Of course, you're also welcome to supervise me on behalf of my girlfriend at any time."

"Pfft, I can't be bothered to care about your affairs," Yan Qingxue snorted. "I just called to remind you not to forget about going to Grandma's house. Since you're coming back tomorrow, I won't waste my breath."

The next day.

Xu Tian's flight landed at Jiangcheng Airport on time.

He had previously told Tang Bingyan that the flight wouldn't arrive until the evening, but in reality, in order to see Tang Bingyan sooner and celebrate the successful completion of his first mission after joining the group, he had specifically moved the flight up and returned to Jiangcheng at noon.

After everyone got off the plane, Xu Tian said to the others present: "You all go back to the company first; I'm going to report the specific details of this mission to President Tang."

"Safe travels, Mr. Xu." Several experts from the Tang family nodded at him one after another.

Ever since Xu Tian picked up a bargain and bought the Western Zhou pottery jar, the attitude of these experts, who originally looked down on him, had changed somewhat. Although it couldn't be called respectful, at least they were courteous.

Jiang Yan, not far away, watched Xu Tian drag his suitcase into the elevator leading to the underground parking lot and silently took out his mobile phone to send a message.

"Xu Tian has already left the airport; you can act now."

At the same time, Xu Tian arrived at the parking lot and found the designated driver he had booked in advance. Just as the car drove away from the airport and headed back to the villa, his phone notification sound suddenly rang.

Xu Tian opened it and found it was a WeChat message from Tang Xin. There was only a product image on WeChat, which seemed to be some well-known domestic trendy brand.

However, what Xu Tian found absurd was that the model in the picture was wearing a light green casual suit on the upper body, fruit green casual pants on the lower body, dark green canvas shoes on his feet, and a fluorescent green baseball cap worn backward on his head.

Xu Tian was blinded by this all-green outfit. Immediately after, he saw the words "is typing" on the dialog box. Soon, Tang Xin sent another sentence: "Do you like it? I can order a set and send it to you."

Xu Tian: "... What the hell are you doing?"

Tang Xin: "... Please, if you still can't understand such an obvious hint from me, then you really deserve to be greened!"

Xu Tian: "???"

Greened? By whom?

Tang Xin was clearly typing in Chinese, but he couldn't understand it at all.

However, after Xu Tian sent three question marks, there was no more movement from Tang Xin's side, which was unusual.

Usually, Tang Xin also liked to send Xu Tian some inexplicable pictures or memes in the middle of the night, but this was the most exaggerated one.

Even so, Xu Tian didn't delve into it. Instead, he was eager to return to the villa to see Tang Bingyan.

This was probably the longest time they had been separated since he was reborn. Although Tang Bingyan's physical condition had been recovering well recently, Xu Tian was still worried, fearing that after he went on a business trip, Tang Bingyan's workaholic attributes would explode and she would become ill from overwork again.

And just as Xu Tian was taking a car back to the villa, A Wei in the villa was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

An employee from an import and export trading company under the group had been sent to deliver a contract to Tang Bingyan. Because this contract was very urgent and involved certain local policies in foreign countries, it had to be personally reviewed by Tang Bingyan.

Of course, this matter seemed fine on the surface, but the person who came to deliver the contract was not quite right.

Usually, those who came from branch companies were middle-aged uncles with big bellies and bald heads. After all, those people who could reach the high level of the company had to drink and socialize every day, so it was normal to have a beer belly early on.

However, the young man who came to deliver the contract today was dressed in casual clothes, and the ocean-scented perfume on his body could be smelled from several meters away.

Watching the villa's security guards bring the person in, A Wei felt as if he were seeing a flamboyant peacock spreading its tail, walking toward him step by step.

"Hello, Assistant Chen, I'm Allan, here to deliver the documents."

"Hello."

A Wei, who had always been calm, twitched the corner of his eye slightly, revealing an indescribable expression, because just now, when this Allan greeted him, he actually saw that the other party had applied eyeliner.

In fact, for white-collar workers working in big cities, even for men, wearing makeup was very normal, but most of them just applied foundation and drew their eyebrows. It was truly unheard of for elite men working in business buildings to wear eyeliner and lip gloss.

Plus, A Wei discovered that this young man's appearance and temperament seemed to be 60-70% similar to Xu Tian's. This was clearly the rhythm of trying to make trouble while Xu Tian was on a business trip! ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
