After a sweaty workout, Xi Nanlin fell into a deep sleep. When she turned over, she accidentally touched a piece of cold ice next to her. She was so frightened that she sat up suddenly, only to find that the room was really empty.
"Inkstone?"
Xi Nanlin shouted in the direction of the bathroom, but no one responded. The room was so empty that you could almost hear a pin drop.
She got off the bed barefoot, opened the door to the room and walked out. The living room downstairs was also dark. She was about to turn around and go back in surprise, but suddenly she heard a strange noise coming from the study. She walked over quietly.
There was only a small desk lamp turned on in the study room. Fu Yanzhou sat there in front of the computer screen. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looking exhausted.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Nanlin opened the door and walked in in surprise. Then she remembered that Fu Yanzhou had said that something happened during the project, but she was only focused on going abroad with Master Al and didn't think of asking him.
"Why are you up?" Fu Yanzhou turned his head and looked at her standing barefoot on the floor, frowning for a moment, "Why did you run out without wearing shoes in such a cold weather?"
"I'm fine. I'm not cold. I'm just a little worried when I woke up suddenly and saw you weren't there."
"How come it's not cold? What's the weather like? The cold starts from the feet. If the cold air invades, you will feel uncomfortable again."
Fu Yanzhou's voice was a little sharp, and he pulled her out of the study without any explanation, returned to the room, hugged her and lay on the bed, holding her little feet in his arms.
The movements were completed in one go, making Xi Nanlin dumbfounded. He always took care of herself like a child, and gradually seemed to have formed a kind of dependence.
"You... don't work anymore?"
Fu Yanzhou closed his eyes, rested her head on his chin, and said with a laziness in his voice: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep. I just got up and took a look."
Xi Nanlin raised her head in surprise: "What happened to the project?"
He was always calm, and something that could keep him awake must be serious.
"There has been a safety incident. This time I have to deal with it personally. The construction site has been suspended."
"Is it so serious?" Xi Nanlin turned over and sat up, "Then do you want me to help? Let's stop going to France for a while and wait until the things here are settled before going!"
The nature of Fu Yanzhou's work is different from his own. He is too busy to take care of so much. If he were there, he could help keep an eye on it for a while.
"No, you can go and do your work. After all, Master Al is not available all the time. I will handle the matters here. I just can't accompany you to France."
Xi Nanlin nodded, that was indeed the case. If he waited for Master Al to return to China before looking for her, he might not have time, and it would definitely not be as good a time as now.
A week later, Xi Nanlin dragged her suitcase to the international airport alone, where Master Al and his assistant were already waiting for her.
Seeing her coming, Master Al was very happy: "Miss Xi, you are a very brave girl. I hope this trip to France will bring you different gains."
"Thank you," Xi Nanlin said politely, "I'm just going to cause you trouble again!"
Several people walked into the airport. Accompanied by the roar, the plane moved forward slowly. After a while, it left the ground and went straight into the blue sky.
Xi Nanlin looked out the window at the ground farther and farther away from her, her heart full of expectation, France, here I come!
More than ten hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. Xi Nanlin's body ached while sitting, and she was woken up by Master Al's assistant while she was sleepy.
"Miss Xi, we're here and we're getting off the plane right away!"
"Ah?" Xi Nanlin opened her eyes drowsily, "Is it so fast? Why do I feel like I haven't slept for a while?"
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Xi Nanlin dragged her luggage and followed Master Al. As she looked around, there were all blond and blue-eyed beauties. They were really different from those in China.
As she walked, she took out her mobile phone and called Fu Yanzhou. The other party answered quickly, as if he had been waiting for her call. Fu Yanzhou's voice was a little urgent: "Are you here?
Xi Nanlin knew that he must have been waiting for her call, and her heart felt warm, and her voice softened unconsciously: "We're here, we just got off the plane!"
Fu Yanzhou: "Well, then give me a call when you get to the hotel."
He yawned as he spoke, and Xi Nanlin realized the time difference. It was four o'clock in the afternoon here, and it should be around eleven o'clock in the evening in China. Fu Yanzhou was still waiting for him.
Listening to his tired voice, Xi Nanlin suddenly felt a little guilty: "You should go to bed first. You don't have to wait for me. I will go directly to the hotel in a while, put away my luggage and go to have dinner with Teacher Al and the others."
"It's okay," Fu Yanzhou insisted, "tell me when you get to the hotel, and then tell me the location of the hotel."
Xi Nanlin knew that he was also worried about her, so she could only say: "Okay, then you go to sleep first and I will call you later."
Master Al's assistant had booked the hotel from the beginning, and Master Al had made arrangements for everything here. Xi Nanlin didn't worry about anything, she just followed behind and put her luggage, and was taken out by Master Al. Meet friends.
After a few days, the results were remarkable. She has appeared in front of all the big names in the French design circle. Master Al's friends also praised her work. Xi Nanlin is also optimistic about the foreign market.
All preparations were in full swing. When Xi Nanlin was preparing to open up the international market in a big way, bad news suddenly came from the country. The warehouse where she stored goods was destroyed, and millions of products were destroyed.
The news was like a bolt from the blue. Xi Nanlin was so distraught that she stood up suddenly and said on the spot that she wanted to buy a ticket to return home.
Master Al was puzzled: "What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Xi Nanlin's expression darkened, and she said incoherently: "Our domestic warehouse was destroyed and the losses were heavy. All the goods that were made overnight were destroyed."
With so many goods destroyed, not only will the goods be lost, but delivery will not be possible as scheduled, and the partners will also have to pay high liquidated damages.
Master Al also knew the seriousness of the matter. She frowned and said sadly: "Then things abroad can only come to an end temporarily. I will send you to the airport and take the nearest flight back. You can't It’s so sad, what happened has happened, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask.”
At this moment, Xi Nanlin didn't know what to say except thanking her. Her voice was choked: "Thank you, teacher, you have helped me enough!"
After hurriedly returning to the hotel to pack her luggage, Xi Nanlin got into the car arranged by Master Al. Looking at the scenery passing by the car window, she felt mixed emotions.
