Chapter 251: Returning home
A Boeing 777 passenger plane resembled a big white bird swooping down from the clouds and slowly docked on the tarmac.
The convoy has been waiting for a long time. On board the charter plane of Heart of the Forest was dozens of executives from all major departments of the Heart of the Forest. Including the behind-the-scenes boss Li Quan and CEO Pete, the lineup can be called luxurious. The reception party came up with the highest standard to receive this team, which is now not underestimated by all forces.
As soon as he stepped down the ramp of the plane, Li Quan saw a familiar face at a glance.
The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward enthusiastically, took the initiative to shake his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Li! We meet again! ”
"It's so polite to have Director Lao Zhou personally pick up the plane." Li Quan responded with a smile on his face.
Director Zhou smiled heartily, leaned closer and whispered, "I borrowed Brother Li's light, last time I brought back what you gave, and Brother made a great contribution." No, the above has been transferred to a job, which is much more comfortable than before. Thank you, brother. ”
"Oh? Congratulations to Director Zhou for his promotion. Li Quan said with a smile.
"Hahaha, you're welcome!" Director Zhou was full of spring breeze when he heard this. Then, he began to introduce Li Quan and his party to the personnel who accompanied the pick-up.
With the introduction, Li Quan secretly smacked his tongue, today's people were not small in the past, and they are now all subordinate to the newly established organization in China: under the Ministry of Planetary Defense. These people were sent to contact him, and he knew the meaning very well.
In dealing with the imminent invasion of alien civilizations, the influence of the great power game is everywhere. Although he knows that this kind of thing can only bring backfire to things, it is unfortunate that the global environment is so deeply entrenched, and it is not just his words and revealing some news that can change everything. Perhaps real change will take decades, if not generations, of mental progress. It's too early to tell.
This time, he brought people back to China at the invitation of the Chinese side, and the two sides contacted in private. At the same time, the P5 also sent him invitations. When it comes to politics, he has always adhered to the principle of non-participation. But when it comes to the implementation of some of his future plans, he still has to contact these people.
After the introduction of the personnel of both sides, Director Zhou smiled at Li Quan and said: "Brother Li, I think that we are also fateful, although this negotiation is a little out of place, many parties can keep their eyes on us." However, the above meaning is actually very simple, our country's planetary defense department must be established. This will require strong support from all parties, especially from Heart of the Forest. The elder brother was entrusted by the above and was mainly responsible for communicating this matter. For the sake of past friendships, Brother Li won't embarrass his brother, right? ”
Li Quan replied with a faint smile: "I came this time, and I want to carry out in-depth cooperation with China." At this point, Director Zhou, please rest assured. ”
"That's good! That's good! As soon as Director Zhou heard this, his face immediately burst into laughter, and he smiled heartily: "I can't hide it, Brother Li." In fact, I want to find you to find out before I make formal contact. Don't blame the old brother for being too talkative! ”
"Where, where."
Li Quan got goosebumps. The two sides are one or two generations apart, but this thing is called an old brother. I don't read much, how have I ever seen such a brazen person?
"Let's go out first." Director Zhou stretched out his hand and smiled at him: "The reception banquet is ready, how about we go directly to the hotel?" ”
"Whatever the guest wants." Li Quan said with a smile.
The convoy then drove out of the airport, and all high-spec bulletproof black cars lined up in a long line. Many boarding passengers along the way were dumbfounded. Outside the airport, the scene was even more exaggerated, with the police cars in front of them opening the way, and the mounted police on both sides escorting them all the way. Pedestrians on the side of the road stopped to watch, wondering which head of state this is visiting China? Why haven't you heard about it in the news?
The hotel where the organizer gave Li Quan is a famous five-star hotel. After Li Quan and his entourage arrived, the banquet on the top floor officially began.
There were many heavyweight political and business figures present at the banquet. Li Quan didn't know a few, but there were no people who didn't know Li Quan. With the status of the Heart of the Forest Company now in the ascendant, how could these people not seize the opportunity to go forward and curry favor with him, the boss behind the scenes, so they toasted constantly. Fortunately, Director Zhou accompanied him throughout the whole process, blocking a lot of unqualified small fish and shrimp. But even so, after the banquet, Li Quan still drank a little too much.
Because of Director Zhou's face, he had to deal with these characters who stomped their feet on weekdays, and had to tremble in certain realms and fields. The atmosphere is also harmonious. It's just that he's not good at this, after all, a few years ago he was just an ordinary high school student. On weekdays, these people are all high mountains. In Li Quan's opinion, this kind of thing is much more complicated than fighting, and one set makes him physically and mentally exhausted.
As soon as Director Zhou saw that Li Quan was tired, he immediately announced the end of the banquet. The organizer had already arranged a guest room for Li Quan. Li Quan was not polite to this, and instructed Pete to arrange other matters, and he went back to his room to rest.
After taking a comfortable bath in the first-class guest room, Li Quan lay on the sofa and watched TV, and the long-lost Chinese Festival made him feel very cordial. Just as I was watching with relish, there was a knock on the door of the room, and a small voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, this is room service." ”
Li Quan ordered a snack just now, and he barely ate at the banquet, and he was sick to his stomach when he drank alcohol.
Get up and open the door. However, when the door opened, he was stunned.
At the door, when Li Quan was seen clearly, the people outside the door were also stunned.
The two were relatively speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until midnight that the girl outside the door stroked her long hair from her ears, smiled and said, "What a coincidence." ”
Standing at the door, Gu Yan was wearing a close-fitting hotel waiter uniform and looked at him with a smile.
Li Quan can barely remember the last time they met. He hasn't been back since that incident. Unexpectedly, on the first day of returning home, he met someone who was very special to him.
Is it a coincidence? Li Quan didn't think so. To be able to meet Gu Yan here, I'm afraid that some people specially arranged it, right? He couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he was really salty.
"yes. I didn't expect to meet here. Li Quan said.
"You...... When did you return to China? ”
"Morning. Just came back. ”
"Oh......"
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
I haven't seen you in about three years. Gu Yan is still the same as Li Quan looks in his heart, her appearance is a little more mature, but she has not changed overall. But for Gu Yan, Li Quan's changes were very big, and she struggled to gradually overlap the person in front of her with the young man's figure in her impression.
Li Quan's changes in the past few years are not only in appearance, but also in temperament. It made Gu Yan feel strange for a while. It was hard for her to imagine that this kind of superior, yes, is a kind of superiority temperament who gives orders, would appear in this boy, in this boy she liked a little at the beginning......
"Why are you here?" Li Quan asked.
"I'm working here." Gu Yan replied with a smile.
Seeing that Li Quan was a little confused, she smiled and said, "Work-study." ”
"Oh." Li Quan understood and nodded, "You ...... this year"
"Sophomore."
"Sophomore...... Time flies. ”
"yes, that's fast."
The atmosphere was a little cold again. At this time, Li Quan didn't know what to say.
"Are you free, can you go out for a walk?" Gu Yan suddenly smiled and asked, "I didn't expect to see you again." I have a lot to say. ”
"Well, that's fine. Actually, I have a lot to say to you. Li Quan smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll take a leave of absence with my sister, and you can wait for me for a while."
“OK。”
There is a café downstairs from the hotel. It is also run by a hotel. Gu Yan said that she would often be here, call for a cup of Blue Mountain, and stay quietly alone. Because she loved the quietness of the place.
The music flowed quietly. In front of them are their respective coffees. The two people who seemed to have countless words to talk to each other were relatively speechless at this time.
After being silent for a long time, Li Quan asked her, "How have you lived in the past few years?" ”
"How else can I live, that's all. After graduating, I was admitted to a fairly good university, but I didn't expect to come so far to the capital at first, but I've gradually gotten used to it recently. On weekdays, in addition to classes, most of the time is spent part-time. Fortunately, this girl's conditions are not bad, and it is easy to find a job here. Gu Yan's eyes were smiling.
"Oh......"
"It's you," Gu Yan said with a smile, "I can often see you on TV." ”
"TV?" Li Quan was slightly stunned.
"Why, you don't know?" Gu Yan's tone became playful and smiled: "You are a big celebrity." Who doesn't know Heart of the Forest now, they're going to be left behind. If all my friends knew that I was dating the Big Boss of Heart of the Forest right now, no one would believe me, right? ”
When Li Quan heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "So that's ...... like this."
Indeed, he should be very famous. Heart of Forest's influence today extends to every aspect of the world. It's just that he couldn't put this setting in front of him for a while. Gu Yan in front of him made him feel a little missed in time.
Oh, yes. It's been more than three years......
There was silence for a while. Gu Yan suddenly said: "After that incident, Fei Fei's parents moved abroad with their family. I haven't heard from them since. Fei Fei's parents are very nice, I used to go to their house and they took good care of me......"
Li Quan understood that Gu Yan must also have a lot of things to say that he hoped someone would like to confide in. In the past three years, this girl is afraid that she is not as relaxed as she seems.
"I think that's what the sentence says: mourning is greater than dying. I can only hope that they will gradually erase some of the pain abroad over time......" Gu Yan said, her voice a little low.
"There are some things, how can you forget." Li Quan said.
Gu Yan sighed: "Yes, how can you forget ......"
It's getting late.
When the two left the café, the street lights were still on, the wind became a little cool, and the road was sparsely populated.
Unconsciously, the two went up to the hotel and swiped their cards in front of Li Quan's guest room.
"It's getting late. Or you ......"
Standing in the open doorway, the two men looked at each other speechlessly.
An indescribable affection permeated the two......
"Good ......"
