Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Xu Shengcai Departs
Mr. Liu sneered upon hearing this, “You don’t have that much money; you’re fooling ghosts. It was easy for to buy you off, and who knows how many others might have done the sa.
Everyone says that about being a high-ranking leader, that you don’t make your money from your salary but from bribes. Who knows how much bribe money you have on hand.
Director Ge, if you’re not willing, then this deal stops here, and you definitely must return the previous 50,000 yuan to .”
Upon hearing this, Director Ge’s face imdiately turned dark, “That won’t do. You were the one who agreed to pay it back for , and you were the one who begged to do this deal in the first place.
To go back on your word now, wouldn’t that make you no different from an ingrate?”
Mr. Liu suddenly laughed when he heard this. “Director Ge, that sounds very familiar. I believe you’ve been spoken about in the sa way before.
It’s rely tit for tat between you and .”
“You…” Director Ge was livid, unable to retort a single word.
While there was heated debate here, it was utterly quiet at the Xu Family’s ho.
Xu Sheng had brought up the idea of going abroad with his wife, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Xu completely shocked. “Go abroad, why on earth would you go abroad suddenly?
Is there not enough for you to eat or drink at ho, that you’d run so far away?” Mrs. Xu was the first to scold fiercely.
“Qiuye, you are pregnant, carrying a big belly all the way there, who will take care of you? Here, at least your mother can look after you.
If needed, I can even go to your school to help take care of you. But if you run that far, who among us can manage?
Moreover, we are unfamiliar with life overseas. We don’t know anyone. What if sothing happens?
What about when you give birth? What about the child? In ti, when it becos inconvenient for you to move, who will take care of you? These are all big concerns,” Mrs. Xu said.
Mr. Xu also had a grim face; being elderly, all he hoped for was that his children would stay close by.
His daughter was busy with school and work, running all over, hardly coming ho even once a year.
The youngest and the second child had both gone to college and could only co ho a few tis a year.
That was still bearable, but with the second child wanting to go abroad with his wife, wouldn’t that an they wouldn’t get to see him at all for a whole year?
Mr. Xu gazed at his son and daughter-in-law and tried to persuade them, “How could it be better overseas than at ho? Don’t you miss your mom and I, and your younger sister?”
Xu Sheng stood there with a look of grievance. “Dad, my eldest brother now has the vegetable greenhouse business, my younger brother is doing business with Huo Chen, and my sister, needless to say, is capable.
I am the only one who is nothing. I want to go abroad with Qiuye to acquire better knowledge and then co back to teach in our country.
While my current university is indeed fine, if I want to advance further, I need to study more deeply abroad. Mom, Dad, I hope you can support my career,” Xu Sheng said, lowering his head.
Xu Qiuye stood beside, too nervous to look at her in-laws.
“Mom, my second brother is right, education abroad is now much better than here.
If my second brother could continue to study for a master’s or doctoral degree, he would have an easier ti finding a job later…” Xu Ying said in support, “And Anthony is also there.
When the ti cos, he could take care of my second brother and that would put our minds at ease. If anything happens, Anthony will definitely let us know.”
Xu Sheng stood there looking utterly woeful; Mrs. Xu had no choice but to nod.
The child had grown up, and it was indeed ti for him to venture out: “It’s okay for you to go, but what about your wife? She is pregnant now.”
“I’ve discussed it with Qiuye; she will stay at ho first, and I will go alone. After the baby is born, she will co to join overseas.”
Mrs. Xu sighed; the child had his plans all set, this talk of a discussion was really just a heads-up for them.
Although Mrs. Xu felt pained, she still agreed, preferring to let her son leave rather than anger him.
Mrs. Xu’s guess was correct. As soon as she agreed, Xu Shengcai was ready to go abroad, his docunts having been prepared in advance, just waiting for Mrs. Xu’s consent.
Xu Shengcai had co ho with luggage this ti, having settled matters at school. The next morning, Mrs. Xu began packing her son’s bags.
Actually, there wasn’t much that needed to be brought, as everything could be bought there.
But Mrs. Xu was not at ease and insisted on packing several large bags of food for her son.
She was just afraid that her son wouldn’t be accustod to eating foreign food.
“Once you get there, rember to call ho, and if you crave anything, write a letter, I’ll cook it and mail it to you.
However, your younger sister was previously collaborating with Anthony, it seems they opened a restaurant there, you might be able to find our ho cooking.
Once there, do not hesitate to spend money, buy whatever you need to eat or use. Our family didn’t have money before, which is why I wanted you and your brothers to save for your sister.
But now, our family is well-off, money is not an issue, spend where necessary.” Mrs. Xu prattled on endlessly.
Xu Shengcai stood there, looking at his mother with teary eyes: “Mom, what you’re saying makes not want to leave.”
“Then don’t leave,” Mrs. Xu said with teary eyes.
“Mom~” Xu Shengcai dragged out his voice.
Mrs. Xu quickly waved her hand: “Go, go, just go.”
“Qiuye, take good care of yourself at ho. Once I arrive, I’ll call Mom and you,” Xu Shengcai said reluctantly to his wife.
Xu Qiuye’s eyes filled with tears, streaming down her cheeks.
Though it would only be a year, and she could join him after giving birth, the mont of parting now filled her heart with unusual sorrow.
She waved her hand: “Shengcai, I will be fine at ho, my mom and our mom will take care of , don’t worry.”
Xu Shengcai then reluctantly began to leave.
“Big brother, sister, I’m leaving.”
Anthony had been impatiently waiting from a distance.
He waved at them: “Second Brother Xu, hurry up, otherwise we’ll miss the car.”
Taking his belongings, Xu Shengcai directly got into Anthony’s car, waved to everyone from the window, and Anthony also bid everyone goodbye.
They then sped off in the car.
After Xu Shengcai had left, the mood among the Xu family mbers was notably somber.
Days passed one after another, and soon it was the day for the Diplomatic Exchange to begin. Xu Ying set off directly with Mr. Sun and Mr. Niu.
Just like before, they took the train to Minister Bai’s location to et with other factory directors from the province.
As soon as the group t, many factory chiefs curiously asked Xu Ying: “Minister Xu, we heard that Beijing Food Factory has also figured out how to make marinated flavors.
Isn’t your factory’s marinated flavor going to be affected by this, won’t we lose the first place this year?”
“I an, why are you so lacking in confidence? This marinade has been out for so long, it being figured out isn’t anything strange.
Our food factory isn’t just sitting idly by, eating the sa marinades without working on any new products, is it?”
