Part Three Chapter 36 Outpost 1

d. 。Lin Zhiyao was a shrewd person and didn't want to trouble Shu Tinglan, so when she arrived at Zhuo Yunan's office, she had already restrained all her emotions. She only had a smile, smiling charmi...The appointment notice from the department arrived soon, sending two staff members in total. One was a Counselor (Par.zan) with extensive work experience in African countries, whom everyone called Teacher Zhang. The other staff member, without a doubt, was her.

I was assigned to a small African country soon after joining the company. Whether it's lucky or unlucky, I guess that depends on your perspective.

Her direct supervisor talked to her, mostly encouraging her, "This past mission was heavy, everything started from scratch, you need to cooperate well with Zhang and Zan's work. According to past experience, after 2-3 years of training, as long as you perform outstandingly, you can be promoted from a follower to a secretary. We take one step at a time, steadily moving upwards, we will definitely reach the place you have in mind."

Xu Haichen also saw the appointment notice and came to find her after work, revealing quite a bit of insider information, "This time, letting Teacher Zhang go over, the department has ulterior motives. He's about to be promoted to ambassador, so by following him, you can learn a lot."

Learning is one thing, but the key is to get along well with others and build good relationships. This will be beneficial to your future career in every way.

Xu Haichen is a very smart guy. He seems carefree and casual, but he can quickly integrate into any environment and understands the way of survival. Anything that seems difficult to others, he can handle with ease.

As the two walked out of the office and passed the guards, Xu Haichen stopped and pointed to a Jeep across the street. "Here comes your ride."

Chen Ning also saw Song Jingye's car and had to say to Xu Haichen, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." He waved casually and walked towards his car.

Chen Ning replied.

Lu ran up to Song Jingye's car. Since the pregnancy misunderstanding a few days ago, the two had stopped talking about marriage or responsibility. However, Song Jingye still came to pick her up on time every day after work.

Song Jingye had picked her up these past few days and had seen her come out with that young man twice. So, he feigned nonchalance and asked, "Colleague"

At the same time, Xu Haichen drove his car past them, his handsome face flashing before their eyes.

Chen Ling lowered her head to fasten her seatbelt and smiled: "Xu Haocheng He's my classmate from university and graduate school. We both work at the company now, but in different departments. He's in the news department."

College classmates, graduate school classmates, or still colleagues now

Song Jingye: "Well, you guys are quite fated to meet."

"Yeah, we met on our first day of university. I was taking pictures of the famous 'big rock' on campus for you and he and his parents were there too. They asked me to take a picture of them so that's how we met."

Chen Ning was brought back to memories. She recalled when she first came to Beijing for school, her heart filled with excitement. After taking pictures, she sent them to him, but waited until the evening without a reply.

Song Jingye vaguely remembered this photo. It was a landmark of their school, with the words "Cradle of Chinese Diplomats" inscribed on a large stone stele. He was at a border station at the time, with poor signal, so he didn't reply, but he was truly happy for her back then.

"Send me another one later," he said.

Chen Ning thought it over and decided to let it go. Now, even if she sent 100 identical ones, it wouldn't compare to the feeling at the time.

After driving for a while, Song Jingye suddenly asked again, "His name is Xu Haichen"

"Yes," Chen Ling replied, a little puzzled.

I don't know why he kept bringing him up today.

"Is he chasing you" Song Jingye asked directly.

"What" Chen Ling replied, a little puzzled by his sudden question, but she quickly answered, "No, we're just good friends."

Chen Ning had also suspected that Xu Haichen might be pursuing her in the past, but after so many years of getting along, their relationship was truly pure friendship. Don't look at how good they were friends, but there was a clear boundary between them. They wouldn't even say anything ambiguous or suggestive.

And Xu Haichen is very principled. Since university, as far as she knows, there have been enough girls who pursued him to circle the campus several times, but he refused them all without hesitation, refusing to play games with women.

He seems to live a carefree life. At an age when people are usually engrossed in romance, he appears detached and unmoved by love.

If it weren't for the fact that once, when he changed his phone case, a one-inch ID photo of a girl fell out from the back of his phone, she would have thought he was probably into guys.

Song Jingye looked back at her, thinking to himself, "Just a good friend" He needed so much time to think about it

"Uncle."

"Hmm"

"The department's appointment notice has come down, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be leaving next Friday." She suddenly brought up the matter. Despite having an unexplainable reluctance, there was also a boundless courage within her.

It was a red light. Song Jingye slammed on the brakes and remained silent for a long time until the green light came on. Then he finally said, "I understand."

He knew about the appointment notice before she did, and felt a mix of reluctance and worry in his heart. X country not only had a harsh living environment but also an unclear internal situation, fraught with danger. He was truly worried about her going there, but at the same time he understood that this was her profession, something she had to do.

He had no reason to object, nor any grounds for objection.

Song Jingye came to pick her up, nothing more than taking her out for a meal and then sending her home. This couldn't be blamed on Song Jingye, who every time he saw her, wanted to take her out for a meal. The main reason was that she had high-intensity mental labor every day, plus she had the habit of exercising, so she ate quite a lot every meal.

Seeing her eat with gusto, Song Jingye could also feel the joy of feeding.

"What should I do if I can't get used to the food in X country"

"I asked and I can cook myself. Xu Haichen said that when I settle down there, he will buy me groceries and seasonings to mail over."

"Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll send it to you. Don't bother anyone else."

Don't bother others

It's like they're family, Chen Ling thought to herself as she silently took a bite of rice. Although she knew he only treated her as a sister or even a niece, it still made her heart race and feel safe and content.

When she submitted her application to study in , she said she had no ties at home and was most suitable for going. But in reality, how could anyone truly be free from attachments Wherever he is, that's where her heart lies, and this will never change. She just hid those feelings of love and affection.

After dinner, Song Jingye sent her home and then turned back to his own house. Halfway there, his mother called him and asked him to go home once.

He wasn't too keen on going back, "What can't be said over the phone"

Song's mother blurted out, "Xiao Ning is pregnant"

inconceivable excitement.

He frowned. "No. Where did you hear that from"

Go home and tell them.

He had to turn the car around and go back to the Song family.

His parents have

He found them waiting in the living room, their expressions a mixture of resentment and anger. It was obvious they had been arguing recently. His parents always got along well, with his father generally giving in to his mother on most issues. There were few things that could truly make his father angry.

Sorry, I've got a lot on my plate lately and can't manage two chapters.ts. It's a spokesperson advertisement for a certain second-tier jewelry brand, which can be filmed in Beijing. 。She used to look down on these second-tier brands. Her status was there, she wouldn't e...
