The call between Hong Ya and I ended in a calm state, but then my heart surged, and I suddenly felt an excitement in my heart, and this excitement will not subside for a long time. {Free novel} I believe
Hong Ya must be in the same mood as me at this time.
Although our emotions have long become indifferent on the surface, there are deep emotions hidden underneath this surface calmness. We are all people who have experienced emotional setbacks, so we can
Try to hide your emotions deeply in your heart.
In fact, maybe we all know that emotion is already a luxury for us today, and we can't afford it. The only thing we can enjoy now is to get together occasionally and vent our longing for each other.
, and then we divided things up.
That night I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before I drifted off into sleep. When I woke up the next morning, my mind was filled with the dreams from last night. And I found to my confusion that in those dreams,
Hong Ya didn't even appear once. What I find incredible is that the ones who appeared the most were Chen Chen and Min Siwei.[
I didn't understand it at first, but then I realized what I was deceiving deep in my heart——
Deep in my heart, I am still longing for true love, longing for a relationship that has nothing to do with my previous life. In other words, I am looking forward to a new start in my emotions.
In my dream, I was still ridiculously comparing and choosing between Chenchen and Min Siwei.
This is just a wishful thinking of mine, because it is simply impossible. After waking up, after analyzing my dream and drawing a conclusion, I was laughing at myself like this.
Because the quality of sleep at night was poor, I felt very tired when I woke up, but I still gave up the idea of continuing to sleep because it was a luxury for me.
I am leaving for Australia tonight, and I still have some things to deal with.
After breakfast, I washed my face with cold water, and then asked Xiao Xu to inform Li Wenwu that I was going to his place soon.
Now our own company needs to launch the minivan project as soon as possible. I want to know if they have any difficulties at present.
This is also a big project for our city, so I cannot take it lightly. In addition, several of our other companies also need me, the mayor, to help them solve their problems.
In fact, I know that for now, the biggest problem for these companies is only one, and that is money.
Several of our projects have foreign investment, but we are currently only dealing with the capital investment required for shares, and the survival and development of an enterprise cannot rely solely on such capital investment.
Now our Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Government are like a family with multiple children. Each of our children is crying out for food, but we cannot spend so much money to meet the needs of these children. This makes people feel even more sad.
The embarrassment is that it has become very difficult to borrow money these days.
But these problems must be solved. This is my responsibility as the mayor. But so far I have not found a better solution. When I had dinner with several bank presidents in the city that day, they all agreed.
So far, no specific plan has been proposed.
We will try our best to support the work of the municipal government. This is what they are all saying, but I know in my heart that their words are false. It is not that they are unwilling to support the work of our municipal government, but that they cannot do it casually
Take out the money from the bank. Since the money cannot be taken out, then such a statement has no substantive meaning.
Throughout the whole day, I visited several of the most important companies in the city, and they mentioned many difficulties to me, but in the final analysis, it was the problem that gave me the biggest headache - money.
But I can't guarantee them. This is a problem of the company's own development. Although the government has the responsibility to help them, the most important thing is that they need to solve the problem themselves.
But at the same time, I also know very well that state-owned enterprises are not private enterprises. When faced with such difficulties, we, the bosses of state-owned enterprises, often give up because they are too dependent on the government.
In fact, I once reported this issue to Secretary Rong, and she said: "You should discuss this issue with the bank. If you need my intervention, just tell me directly."
The meaning of her words is actually very clear: she also has a headache with this problem.[
But then she said to me again: "I will report to the leaders of the province and hope that the province can give us more policy support."
But then there was no follow-up. I knew very well that she was the secretary of the municipal party committee and was only responsible for macro-level matters, but I had to solve specific problems like this myself.
After completing the research on several companies, I returned to the office. At this time, I was already feeling groggy and uncomfortable. Firstly, it was because I had not slept well last night, and secondly, because the problems in front of me were really disturbing.
I feel like I have a headache. The problem now is that I have to go abroad immediately. I'm thinking: If I don't go out of the country recently, maybe this problem will be solved through some channels.
But I have to go out. No matter how anxious I am, I have to go out.
Guan Qin called me and asked me where I was now. I told her that I was in the office and had a lot of things to do. Then I said to her: "My driver will take us to the airport tonight."
, I’ll call you then.”
She smiled and said: "You are too busy. Originally, I said I wanted to have a meal with you in the evening. That's fine, you can be busy."
Only then did I remember the promise I made to her that day. I told her that day that I would treat her to a meal before we left Jiangnan for Australia. But now I really don’t have time, and I have to go home today.
A trip. Until now, I have not told my mother that I am going abroad.
I said to her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really can't help it. I have a lot of things on my hands. Doctor Guan, we are so familiar with each other. There will be many opportunities for us to have dinner together in the future. Don't you think so?"
She smiled and said: "That's true. You should be busy. Actually, I don't really want to go out for dinner together. I mainly want to discuss the itinerary with you. But we have more than nine hours on the plane.
, let’s talk about it slowly when the time comes.”
I smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding."
After I finished the phone call with her, I went to Mayor Wu's office. I introduced to him the research I had done at several companies today, and then said to him: "Old Wu, what do you think about this?"
Is there any way?"
It is necessary for me to ask him this way. After all, he is the executive deputy mayor and is in charge of this money issue. What's more, he is also the one who is responsible for the specific contact and communication with the bank.
He said: "I am also worried. Our government already has a lot of loans, and the banks are also in a dilemma. The capabilities of the companies in our industrial parks are also very limited, and they also need to develop themselves. It is difficult...
."
I said: "Well, Lao Wu, you will meet with the leaders of several banks in the province recently to see if they have any specific opinions? If it doesn't work, wait until I come back to find Huang.
Governor, please ask him to come forward and solve the problem for us."
He shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, the leaders in the province have been very supportive of us, and they have already informed the bank. The bank's support for us is also very strong. The bank told me,
The main problem is that our investment speed is too fast. If we temporarily slow down the investment speed, the problem will be easily solved."
I immediately sneered, "Do you even listen to what the banks say? What they need is absolute safety of funds and high profits at the same time. This is a situation caused by monopoly. To be honest, if our banks don't act like this
Monopoly, are we in such dire straits?”
He smiled and said: "Anyway, we still enjoy a lot of benefits from the bank's monopoly. Won't the bad debts of our company be cleared as a result? And our loans, after all, the banks still have a lot of influence on us.
taken care of.”
I pointed at him and smiled: "You are speaking from the perspective of a vested interest. Yes, you are right. We have indeed enjoyed the benefits of the bank monopoly, but now we have become
It’s an obstacle to development. Forget it, let’s not talk about this issue. This issue is meaningless because neither you nor I can change this situation.”
He sighed and said: "Yes. Mayor Feng, I suddenly remembered something in the past two days. I also consulted the bank. Maybe this method is more feasible. But I have been hesitating whether to take this matter
I will discuss it with you because I know your character and I am worried that you will not agree."
I looked at him and said, "How do you know that I won't agree before you tell me? Tell me, what is the problem?"
He said: "It's just financing."
I hurriedly said: "Old Wu, you are going too far. I am worried to death, but you don't tell me. Come on, tell me now and I will listen." [
He looked at me with a half-smile on his face, "Mayor Feng, do you know about the financial products in the bank?"
I was suddenly startled, "I know, I've heard of it. But, what does the bank's financial products have to do with our financing?"
He said: "I didn't pay attention to this problem before. It was only recently when I accidentally looked at some relevant information that I discovered that the financial products in banks are actually local bonds."
I know about local bonds. From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, many local governments issued local bonds in order to raise funds to build roads and bridges. Some were even interest-bearing to support national construction.
It was apportioned to various units in the name, and some even used it directly as part of wages. However, in 1993, this behavior was stopped by the State Council because of doubts about the ability of local governments to fulfill their commitments.
But this year, as investment in local construction has increased, the problem of local debt has become more and more serious. Therefore, the higher authorities have turned a blind eye to the issue of local debt issuance and turned a blind eye.
.
But I don’t understand: How can this financial product be linked to local bonds?
So I was even more surprised and asked him hurriedly: "Oh? Could you please elaborate on this issue?"
He said: "It was only after I learned about it that I learned that the essence of the so-called financial products is local bonds. The path to the creation of financial products is as follows: In the first step, local governments take the lead in registering some investment companies. These investment companies
The government calls it: a financing platform. Its name can be an urban construction development company, an urban construction asset management company, etc. The second step is for the local government to establish projects, such as: building expressways, building airports, building government buildings...etc.
Etc. The third step is for these companies on the financing platform to go to banks for financing with government projects. Because they are government-backed companies and government projects, the bank will give them whatever amount is required for approval. The fourth step is for banks to
Of course, I know the situation of the local government. Most of the money has to be repatriated, which is very risky. So the bank sells the creditor's rights to the trust company, such as a one billion financing, and the bank says I keep 2% interest.
You take over the rest, signing for 5% interest, and you still have 3% to earn. Although the trust company also knows the government's situation, it can't let go of such a big business. What should I do? It's very simple.
Isn't it just a matter of reselling it? If the interest rate is higher, it will definitely be easier to sell. Anyway, as long as it is sold, the trust company will have no risk and no responsibility. Therefore, the trust company will make these debts into investment products one by one.
, for example: urban construction companies building highway projects, etc., all kinds of them, collectively called 'financial management products'. The fifth step is that the trust company takes this 'financial management product' to the bank and lets the bank sell it as an agent, and there are rebates. Sixth step
In the next step, the bank will print some advertisements, open a financial management office, and assign a financial management manager to look at the deposit amount of the depositors and call the depositors for sales."
After hearing what he said, I immediately understood, "You mean, whoever buys financial products will be the creditor of local government debt. Is that right?"
He nodded and said, "That's right."
I said, "Isn't that a great way? Why do you think I wouldn't agree?"
He looked at me, "Mayor Feng, have you ever thought about it? What if something goes wrong with the project? Who will pay the creditors?"
I was stunned immediately.
He continued: "Once there is a problem with the project, if the creditor goes to the bank, the bank will say this: There is no bank seal anywhere on the signed contract. The bank is just a sales agent. Look at the seal on the contract.
Find a trust company. Then the creditors will go to the trust company, and the people from the trust company will say: This is a project of the urban construction company, and we are just a trust company for financial management. It's like if you lose money after buying shares of PetroChina, you can't open an account with you.
Is it a securities company? You go to the urban construction company. The creditor will go to the urban construction company, and the urban construction company will say: We signed a financing contract with the bank, who are you? The creditor will have to go to the bank again, and the bank will say
: We financed the city construction company, what does it have to do with you? The creditor had to go back to the city construction company, and the city construction company said: Whoever sold it to you goes to you! The creditor then came back to the bank, and the bank said: Who do you go to?
After signing the contract, who do you go to? The creditor then goes to the trust company. The trust company says: Investment is risky. Didn’t you read the terms and conditions of the contract? The creditor will feel that they have a good reason, so they say: It clearly says that the capital is guaranteed!
The trust company will say: This is a government project. The government not only talks about capital preservation, but also says there are subsidies. If you don’t believe me, ask the government! Mayor Feng, if creditors come to ask our government at this time, what will you say?"
I said in astonishment: "How do you say that?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "If it were me, I would say this: We are just setting up and approving projects. We are an administrative agency. Don't you even know this? The creditors had no choice but to say: Forget it, I don't either.
If you find one, just file a lawsuit. But then the creditor will find a problem: when he is preparing to write a complaint, who should he fill in as the defendant? And only then does the creditor discover that to file a lawsuit, he must be at the defendant's location.
The court fights. The bank is local, the trust company is in Shanghai, and the urban construction company is in Beijing. The defendant column cannot be filled in, so there is no way to fight."
I thought about what he said carefully and felt that what he said seemed to be true. However, I immediately felt that this matter seemed a bit unreasonable. Then I asked him: "Mayor Wu,
Have you ever heard of any financial products offered by local governments across the country that were unable to be cashed out later?"
He said: "Such a situation must have happened, that's why I'm telling you this. This is why I'm worried that you won't agree to this method of financing."
I was not satisfied with his answer, so I immediately asked him: "So, what proportion of the cases are the cases where the law is fulfilled?"
He was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I haven't done any surveys or statistics on this. But there shouldn't be many. Otherwise, why are financial products selling so well now?"
I nodded and said, "So, I think we can do the same. In the final analysis, it's still the same problem, which is how to control risks. Don't you think so?"
He looked at me in surprise, "Do you really agree to adopt such an approach? The question is, can we guarantee that we can control the risk? Once a risk does arise, both Secretary Rong and you and I will bear a huge burden.
Responsible."
I disapproved and said: "Why do leaders in other places dare to do this? Aren't they afraid of taking responsibility? I think this is mainly a matter of risk control. As long as we are confident that we can control the risk, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Lao Wu, this
I think this thing is feasible. First, you should understand the situation clearly. Second, you should find out from the bank what the conditions for access are. Third, after understanding these situations, please report it to Secretary Rong.
If Secretary Rong thinks we can do that, and the bank agrees with us using this method, I will hold a government executive meeting to study the matter when I come back."
He looked at me suspiciously, "Do you really think it's feasible?"
I smiled bitterly and said to him: "Old Wu, some people criticize me for not being courageous enough. I think you are more indecisive than me. What do we need most now? We need money! As long as we have money, it will be much easier for us to do things in the future.
If we want to build Shangjiang City well within a period of time and develop its economy, we must do everything possible to find ways to raise money. Lao Wu, your advantage is that you are good at learning. The method you mentioned today is so good. Since other
This is what we are doing everywhere, why don’t we? Don’t worry, let’s do it first and then talk about it. Isn’t reform just about crossing the river by feeling the stones? What are you afraid of? If there is a problem, let’s talk about it. There will always be a way to solve the problem.
"
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, your criticism is right. Well, I will go and find out more about the situation and report to Secretary Rong immediately. Actually, this is mainly because I have never been engaged in economic work before, so I don't know what to do.
."
I immediately felt that what I just said was a bit too strong, and said to him hurriedly: "Old Wu, I am a straightforward person, so don't worry about it. But I mainly think that you are not bold enough, and I will give you many things."
The power has been delegated, but you have not taken up certain tasks because of it. I don’t have any other meaning. I am just thinking, what if you become the top leader of the government one day? It’s not okay to be like you now.
.I know that you have been engaged in party affairs before, and you were more pragmatic. But now you are the executive deputy mayor of the government and the chief executive. This requires you to adapt to the work of the government as soon as possible and transform your pragmatism into pragmatism.
How to work. Haha! Lao Wu, we are friends, I just say this in front of friends. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
He said to me sincerely: "Mayor Feng, don't say that. I know completely in my heart that you must have said these words to me directly for my own good. I know you and you are a human being.
I am tolerant and rarely criticize others. If it were not for us being friends, you would not be able to say such things to me face to face. In fact, I am very clear about my own shortcomings. I am too cautious in handling things. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Disadvantages. If I was engaged in party affairs and ** work before, it would be okay, but now it seems that there is indeed a problem. Also, I am a little too dependent on you, so I am not so proactive and bold when dealing with many things. Haha!
Mayor Feng, don’t worry, I will try my best to correct this problem in the future. But there are some major issues that I still have to report to you first, right?"
I smiled and said, "What report? Let's discuss it together."
After our conversation, he has indeed become much more proactive in his work. In fact, he also understands that this is me further delegating power to him. He is a local, and if he is more bold in his work, I will
The pressure will be reduced a lot, and it will also give him more prestige among the cadres and people below. What he knows better is that I am not the kind of person who takes power very seriously, but I take work very seriously.
.
In fact, this should be the case between friends. If there is something, talk about it clearly and thoroughly. Being secretive will only make the problem more complicated and make things worse.
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when we finished talking about this matter. Mayor Wu smiled and said to me: "How about it? I'll give you a treat tonight?"
I smiled and shook my head and said, "No, thank you. I have to go home. I haven't told my family about my going abroad yet. Why should you and I be so polite?"
He smiled and said: "That's okay. I know you don't care about formal things. Then I wish you all the best."
On the way back to the provincial capital, I suddenly thought of something: During this period of time when I am not at home, who will take care of things at home?
It’s not that I worry too much, but I have to take this matter into consideration. My mother is older, but my child is still young. The nanny is from the country, and she can’t handle many things. What if something happens at home?
What should I do if there is an emergency? I have never considered this issue before, because my father was still alive when I went abroad last time. Although I often traveled on business after my father passed away, it was still in China after all. If it really happened,
If there is any situation, I can rush back to Jiangnan immediately. But this time when I go to Australia, if there is something urgent, I don’t just want to return to China immediately. Even at the fastest speed, it will take more than ten hours.
It is definitely not possible to find Tong Yao, she is too busy. She is also a person who takes her work very seriously. But now I don’t understand something, and I can’t ask her why she didn’t do it as soon as possible since she rejected me.
What about marrying Fang Qiang? Is she still struggling with the relationship between me and her?
No, that's not the case. I guess it's because of Tong Yangxi's incident. Yes, this incident has formed a big knot in her heart.
Ruan Zhenzhen can't do it even more. Maybe she is the most free person, but I don't trust her at all. This woman takes money too seriously, and she might cause more problems because of it.
What about Ruan Jie? That’s not possible either. I don’t know why, but after Min Sisi told me about the case last time, I never felt at ease. And because of this, I didn’t dare to have anything to do with Ruan Jie again.
touch.
Only now do I realize that I don’t seem to have a true friend. The true friend I’m talking about is actually very simple, that is, someone who can entrust one’s family to the other person.
At this time, when I thought about this matter, I suddenly felt a kind of sadness in my heart. But I knew in my heart that the cause of this situation was not other people's, but my own problem.
So, I thought of my own driver.
When we were having dinner at home in the evening, I told my mother that I was going abroad tonight. My mother said, "You often go on business trips. I'm used to it. It's not a big deal."
Of course I would not express my concerns so clearly in front of my mother. I said: "Mom, what I mean is that if anything happens at home while I am abroad, you should call my driver. I
I have already told the driver, and I will leave the driver’s phone number at home for a while. Xiao Sui is very nice, he will be on call. I have already told the secretary-general of our municipal government that during my absence,
Xiao Sui is in the provincial capital and can't go out."
My mother blamed me and said, "Isn't that bad of you? You are a leader, how can you let your driver not go to work for us?"
I know that my mother is also the kind of person with very orthodox ideas, so I have to tell her a reasonable reason. I said: "Mom, do you know why I want to change drivers? My previous driver
Xiao Cui, because he was sent to drive a car for a leader of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference when I was on a business trip, and he got into a car accident. This incident almost made it impossible for us to get off the stage. We just had to pay the money, but Xiao Cui was almost fired because of it.
Later, it was me who transferred him to another unit to solve the problem. So, after I left this time, I didn’t want something like this to happen to Xiao Sui."
But my mother disapproved and said: "You are the mayor, and you don't allow the people below you to send your drivers out casually. Do the people below you dare to do that? It's obviously because you are not strict in your management."
Only then did I realize that my mother was not confused, and I hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, it is true that I had problems with management before. But my work vehicle was provided to me by the state, but I don't think that vehicle can only be used
Only I can use it. It would not be good to say this. So, I simply asked Xiao Sui to leave the car in the provincial capital and not drive it back. Of course, I must have selfish motives for doing this. I am not
Are you worried about things at home?"
Mother smiled and said: "Anyway, you have a reason. Well, it's up to you. Nowadays, private use of buses is also very common, as long as it doesn't affect you. Since you have arranged it this way, I won't say anything else.
.But nothing will happen to us. Now I take the children to and from school by myself. You don’t have to worry about anything."
After listening to what my mother said, I felt very happy. My mother is much more open-minded than my father, and she tends to follow the crowd when it comes to some issues.
Now sometimes I can't help but think about my father's life. To be honest, sometimes I really feel worthless for him. My father has been an upright person in his life, and he can't stand many things, and he himself also sticks to his principles.
, but people like him are not reused. Whenever I think of such things, I can't help but think: Is this my father's fault or some other problem?
In fact, this is not a simple problem. To be precise, it should be caused by the imperfection of our system. However, its impact is very huge, and this impact has also radiated to our entire society. Honest people are offended.
The upright people suffer, while the unprincipled people can have everything... In the long run, the values of our society will develop in an abnormal direction. This is a problem for a country, or even a nation.
A very terrible thing.
And now, this terrible situation is already happening.
After eating at home, I started to pack my things.
I took the time to check the basic situation of Australia during the day, which is also a habit I have before every trip.
From the information I looked up, I learned that Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. It is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west. It is a beautiful place surrounded by seas on three sides. Australia is between 10 and 40 degrees south latitude, making it the smallest country across latitudes.
, so the temperature distribution in Australia is relatively simple. The Tropic of Cancer crosses the central part of the continent. Most of the area is in the tropics and subtropics. There is very little rainfall every year and the desert area is very large. Therefore, the temperature in Australia is relatively high and the weather conditions are relatively stable.
, the climate difference is very small. In addition, Australia is a complete continent, although the temperature difference throughout the year is not big, and the seasons in Australia are exactly opposite to those in Asia. Its summer is from December to February and March of next year.
It's autumn until May.
Therefore, Australia is very warm this season. I thought about it and immediately decided to bring only a small suitcase with a few books in it.
In addition, I also looked up Australia’s specialty gifts and finally visited those tourist attractions.
In fact, for me, going abroad once is also a very troublesome thing. The trouble is that when I return to my country, I need to bring some gifts for my friends around me, and the choice of gifts is a headache.
It's not just about money, but what you should consider more is making others like you.
Sending a gift is not a small thing. It is definitely impossible not to give it. If you give it, you must also consider the identity of the other party and my own identity. But when I read the information, I felt much more relaxed, because
There are many unique Australian gifts, and you should be able to get them.
For example, I can buy a high-end wool coat for Lin Yu and exquisite carvings for Governor Huang. Others are easier to deal with, such as red wine, exquisite glass products, etc.
I will consider it. Besides, Hong Ya will be asked to give me some reference opinions when the time comes.
I almost slept on the plane because I became calmer after getting on the plane.
I woke up twice during the course. Earlier I found Guan Qin still reading a book, but when I woke up the second time I found that she had also fallen asleep.
When it dawned the next day, the organist started complaining to me, "Why do you always sleep?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I have been really tired recently. And we don't talk much on this plane, right? This will affect other people's rest."
She smiled and said: "That's true. I thought...hehe! I thought you were deliberately keeping a distance from me. But then I felt that I was wrong."
I didn't quite understand what she meant, "What's wrong?"
She looked at me and smiled, "I thought you were going to Australia to meet your lover, but I found that you didn't look excited at all. So I thought I was wrong."
I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, but there was a wry smile on my face, "You really know how to imagine."
She said: "I'm different from you. I basically didn't sleep last night. I get excited every time I go out. Once our department went to the countryside for a weekend, and I ended up being excited all night long."
I asked her in surprise: "When I woke up in the middle of the night last night, I saw you seemed to be asleep?"
She shook her head and said: "No. But I will close my eyes when I have insomnia. That is better than not sleeping at all."
She was right, taking a nap is actually a kind of rest. I asked her: "Do you often suffer from insomnia?"
She shook her head and said, "Not really. Mainly when I go out."
I almost laughed out loud, "You are really a kid at heart."
The plane landed at Melbourne International Airport on time. Before getting off the plane, I said to Guanqin: "Someone will pick me up in a while, so you can go with the tour group and have fun. But I hope you keep your phone on. I will give it to you when the time comes."
Send a text message."
She said: "It will be very expensive to make calls abroad. And my mobile phone does not have international calling function."
I thought to myself: Women are different, they tend to save more than men. I said: "Well, just call me when the time comes. Or you can borrow the tour guide's cell phone and send me a text message, and we can make an appointment then.
Let’s meet somewhere. Cell phone text messages are cheap, so it should be no problem.”
She nodded.
After getting off the plane, I didn't follow the others to the exit, and deliberately lingered behind for a long time. Because I didn't want Guan Qin to see the scene where I met Hong Ya.
The temperature in Melbourne is very suitable. The temperature at this time is about 20 degrees. I am wearing a white shirt and it feels just right.
At this time, I felt a little excited. This excitement made me temporarily forget that I was in a foreign country, and it also made me feel nothing new about everything around me.
I lingered behind the tour group, watching them slowly walk away. At this time, I suddenly found the pipe organ turning around and waving to me, and I just looked at her and smiled.
My cell phone rang, and of course it was Hong Ya’s voice, “I saw everyone on the same flight as you came out, where are you?”
I hurriedly said: "I have a colleague who came with me, and she was with the tour group. So I deliberately walked behind."
Immediately, I heard her sigh softly on the phone, "I'll wait for you outside. I hope you can still recognize me."
I know why she sighed, because the relationship between me and her is still in a state of shame until now. But her sigh made my originally excited mood become uneasy.
I walked slowly outside. I was surprised to find that, in addition to being written in English, all the guidance signs in the airport were also written in Chinese, such as "toilet", "exit", "baggage claim", "transfer","
Information Counter" and so on, and Chinese welcome advertisements "Welcome Chinese Tourists" can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of pride as a Chinese. At the same time, I really felt that this city was unique.
I walked out of the exit and looked around, but I couldn't find her anywhere. One thing I'm very confident about is: although we haven't seen each other for a long time, it's not to the point where I can't recognize her.
.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar silhouette in the large, bright floor-to-ceiling glass of the cafe not far ahead.
