#107 - Chapter 107 Accompany her to see the starry sky!
Today is Sunday.
Xia Qingyan was still at work.
Even busier.
After selling SP4 to Morgan in the morning, the boss immediately issued a bunch of tasks. As the CEO, could she relax?
Xia Xiangyang and his wife had finished their meal, and Xia Qingyan had just returned home.
On weekdays, she would wait for her eldest daughter to eat, but on weekends, her youngest daughter was at home.
"Qingyan is back?"
Xia Xiangyang greeted, "Wife, the meal is ready for Qingyan, go heat it up quickly."
"Wait!"
Zhong Ping didn't go to the kitchen to heat up the food, she mysteriously leaned over: "Qingyan, have you noticed anything about your sister's affairs at school recently?"
Xia Qingyan was dumbfounded.
She had already left Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and she hadn't told her parents about it.
Mainly because she didn't want her parents to worry.
But now…
As an older sister, who would believe it if you said you didn't pay attention to your sister?
"Mom, I resigned," she answered truthfully.
"What?!"
While her mother was stunned, her father rushed over in one stride: "What did you just say? Say it again!"
"I left Shanghai Jiao Tong University."
"You…"
Xia Xiangyang was on the verge of collapse.
With a trembling hand, he pointed at his eldest daughter: "I think you're crazy! Completely crazy!"
He worked in the Education Commission.
His wife was a primary school teacher.
It could be said.
The whole family were intellectuals.
The eldest daughter was the family's greatest pride!
She entered Tsinghua University's Finance Department at the age of 16.
Graduated at the age of 20, received an invitation from Harvard Business School, and completed a master's and doctoral degree in four years.
After returning to China.
At the young age of 24, she entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University and became a lecturer in the Department of Business Administration.
This resume was rare even in the whole country.
As a result…
She actually resigned!
"What are you doing?!"
Zhong Ping glared at her husband: "How old is our daughter? She must have her reasons for making this choice. Why are you scolding her right away? Go away!"
"Qingyan, tell Mom, why did you resign?"
Xia Qingyan glanced at her enraged father: "The principal said that I didn't have any practical experience, and that my lectures were just empty talk—so, I'm showing him practical experience."
"You…"
Xia Xiangyang was even more angry: "You resigned just because the principal said something?"
"You're a teacher, what practical experience do you need?"
"You don't really think you have practical ability, do you?!"
"Here!"
Too lazy to argue.
Xia Qingyan took out a passbook from her bag: "This is my salary for last month, take a look at how my practical experience is?"
Xia Xiangyang was stunned, and picked up the passbook.
Instantly.
More than 130,000!
The million-dollar annual salary that Chen Hao offered her was the after-tax income.
The monthly salary exceeded 80,000.
There were also various bonuses and benefits.
"How much?" Seeing her husband in a daze, Zhong Ping hurriedly asked.
"…"
Xia Xiangyang handed the passbook to his wife, looking at his daughter with a very complicated expression.
His monthly salary was 2,100.
His daughter's monthly income was roughly equivalent to…
More than five years of his salary!
"Heavens!"
Zhong Ping exclaimed in shock: "Qingyan! How can you… have such a high salary?!"
"I'm the CEO," Xia Qingyan explained.
"CEO?"
Xia Xiangyang swallowed: "What company's CEO has such a high salary?"
"There's a confidentiality agreement, I can't say."
"That's right!"
Zhong Ping pushed her husband aside: "I almost forgot! Qingyan, something's been wrong with your sister recently, I think… she might be in love—you're at school, and you also have colleagues and students, can you ask around?"
Sister is in love?
Xia Qingyan was quite happy, and immediately nodded: "I'll find someone to ask later, don't worry too much."
"With Qingmo's personality, being in love is a good thing."
She always felt that her sister should have a relationship, which might help her personality.
…
The Bund.
Seeing Xia Qingmo coming from afar, Chen Hao greeted her with a smile on his face.
"Student Chen…"
Xia Qingmo lowered her head slightly, her voice very soft: "Am I late?"
A date alone.
It was already dark.
This made her feel strange.
Even if it hadn't been truly stated, with her relationship with Chen Hao, how could they still be like ordinary friends?
Chen Hao said he liked her last time.
But he also said that it was just revealing his feelings and didn't count as a real confession, and didn't need her to respond—mainly because he didn't want to put pressure on her.
In short, they were friends in name, but not like friends.
"I'm late," Chen Hao said softly.
They had agreed to do an experiment together, but he had been busy from morning till night.
He forgot.
"It's… it's okay!"
Xia Qingmo quickly shook her head: "Where… where are we going next?"
"Right here."
"Here?"
The girl was stunned.
Didn't he say there was a fun place?
But the Bund…
That's right!
For her, the Bund was too familiar, and it couldn't be called fun at all.
But Chen Hao wasn't from Shanghai, maybe he found it very novel: "Um! Shall we go then?"
"Come with me."
Chen Hao subconsciously grabbed her hand.
Xia Qingmo's body stiffened, standing there as if struck by lightning: "Student Chen, I…"
She had to remind him!
But, she didn't resist fiercely, nor did she forcibly pull her hand back.
"It's ahead, we'll be there soon," Chen Hao didn't mean to let go.
"…"
Xia Qingmo blushed but didn't resist.
Suddenly!
Her expression froze.
Not far away, a huge hot air balloon was floating in the night sky.
Suspended at a height of a few meters.
It wasn't high from the ground, and you could only see it when you got close.
There were several people below, and anyone could tell that the hot air balloon was theirs.
Such a big hot air balloon attracted many people to watch.
Just as Chen Hao approached, the leading man took out a large sign from somewhere.
On it, a line was written.
'Hot Air Balloon for Rent, 100 Yuan per Ride'
"100 yuan for a ride? I…" A bystander immediately took out money.
"Me!"
Chen Hao took out a hundred-yuan bill.
"I came first!" Some onlookers shouted.
"What you?"
The man renting the balloon glared at the onlookers: "This little brother looks kind, I'll let him go up first, is there a problem?"
Okay!
If Xia Qingyan was there, she would recognize that this guy was a security guard from Hanteng.
Not just him?
His 'accomplices' were all from the security department of Hanteng Capital!
This was specially prepared by Chen Hao for Xia Qingmo!
Others pay a hundred yuan for a ride?
Dream on!
"Chen Hao…"
Xia Qingmo's address changed, her small hand trembling slightly: "I'm a little scared…"
She usually called him 'Student Chen'.
Because she was shy and didn't want others to misunderstand that she was his girlfriend.
But now…
She was too nervous!
She subconsciously called his name.
"Don't look down!"
Chen Hao pointed to the night sky, smiling: "Look up, look at the moon and the stars, and you won't be afraid."
There were people responsible for controlling the hot air balloon.
Finally.
The balloon slowly rose.
At first, Xia Qingmo was still very scared, until a powerful hand held her small hand.
"I'm here!" His voice was very low.
But it was incomparably firm.
Xia Qingmo was stunned, and turned to look at his face.
For no reason, the fear in her heart quickly disappeared, as if even in the face of life and death, he would stand in front and keep her unharmed!
"I… I'm not afraid!"
This time.
Not only did she not pull her hand back, she didn't even remind him about the hand-holding thing.
The girl raised her head.
Holding his thick, warm hand, she looked at the starry sky.
Chen Hao smiled.
In the previous life, when the two were in love, they talked about each other's wishes.
His wish was to ride China's space shuttle, fly out of the earth, and land on the moon.
And her wish was…
To accompany him!
In this life.
He wanted to accompany her to see all the stars in the sky!
Tonight was just the beginning.
He knew her true dream, and he would definitely help her realize it!
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distance.
