Chapter 164: A Trip on a Business Trip
It's summer vacation, and Andre and I discussed our birthday plans, and he wanted to take me out for two days, but we haven't decided on a destination yet. I received a notice from Sergei that he was going on a business trip to China during this period.
It seems that the date of the return trip coincided with the missed date of Andrei's birthday. Andrei said it didn't matter, just catch me, as long as I was happy to celebrate there, he really didn't have any specific places to go.
Sergey and I flew to Ningbo and re-signed the agency agreement with the freight forwarding company there. After that, we have to go to Tianjin to determine our other freight forwarding company and cooperation.
In the waiting hall of Ningbo Airport, I received a call from my mother. She asked me if I had returned home. Can you stay one more day, she wants to celebrate my birthday, I told her that this may be difficult, and our tickets have already been booked. Mom was obviously a little sad. She wanted to come to Tianjin to see me.
Sergey heard me talking to my family and asked me with a smile if my parents wanted to see me. I smiled and nodded, telling him that my parents wanted to celebrate my birthday, but on my birthday, we had to go back so it was too late.
Sergei said that we can compress the events in Tianjin and go to Beijing a day earlier so that I can meet my parents. After all, it's not easy for me to come back all the way.
I was really touched to hear Sergei's thoughtful advice. After thanking him for his kindness, I told my parents the date of my arrival in Beijing, and I thought that even though I couldn't make it to my birthday, I could meet my parents, which was also the most rare birthday gift for me!
Hearing my mother's delighted voice, I looked at Sergey, who was reading the English version of China Daily, his expression relaxed and relaxed.
I remembered what Andrei had asked me, what was it like to work under a handsome boss?
Hehe, Sergey's appearance is really outstanding. He has a face with the contours of a standard Western man, with well-rounded features.
Unlike Andrei's deep eyes, Sergei had blue eyes as big as Gregory Pike. This made his appearance more contagious.
Sergey was slightly taller than Andrey. Compared to Andrei's near-perfect muscles, Sergei is not so developed, but Sergei has a wide skeleton peculiar to Slavs. Despite his thin physique, his extra-wide shoulders make him look very strong.
I've always been in awe of this boss. Sergei is not only super capable and resolute, but also has always been fair and generous to his subordinates. Never abuse your power to oppress anyone for personal gain. On the contrary, Sergei always treated us with humility and courtesy.
Still, Sergey will give you a sense of distance. At the time, I didn't understand why, but later I did. The mild-mannered Sergei never joked with people easily, and his words and deeds were too perfect to approach.
Departing from Tianjin to Beijing, Sergei told us that he had booked a room for my parents at the hotel where we were staying. I don't really know what to say. At noon, I picked up my parents at the hotel. My mother didn't expect my leader to have such an arrangement, she was so happy. After talking to my parents for a long time, at 10 o'clock for dinner, Sergei called and said that he was going to invite my parents to dinner. My mother is still a little hesitant, is it too much for my leader to break the bank. I thought that maybe Sergei alone felt that he was not good at eating Chinese food, and he wanted us to order food for him. My mother listened to me and criticized me severely. Say that I am the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman!
In the restaurant of the hotel, the personable Sergey warmly entertained my parents. What I didn't expect was that my mother, who was very repulsive to foreigners, praised Sergei very much. Maybe Sergey paid for her! I thought to myself.
My mother said something that made Sergei treat me more, and that she could be strict with me.
Sergey smiled. He said I did a great job and Andre helped him a lot!
Dad asked, who is Andre! Hearing them ask about Andrei, I was coughing while I was drinking tea. Everyone looked at me, and I said in Russian, Andrei was my classmate. Sergei looked at me with some surprise and seemed to understand something. He digressed the subject.
Sergey said that he knew that Lina had a birthday tomorrow, and that he had asked the secretary to change our tickets to the day after tomorrow, so that our family could celebrate together tomorrow. My parents were a little touched when they heard this. My mother said to me, Linna, look how good your boss is to you, you have to work hard! I smiled and nodded.
When I got back to the room, it was late, but fortunately there was a time difference with Moscow, I called Andrei and congratulated him on his birthday, Andrei said happily, let me come back tomorrow It's too late, I told him that I won't go back tomorrow, my ticket was changed, and my parents came to Beijing to celebrate my birthday. Andrei was a little surprised when he heard this. I told him that it had happened suddenly, and that I had just learned about the ticket change. Andre seemed a little uncomfortable with my sudden change in itinerary.
