Chapter 245 Picking up people

Late at night——

Night fell over Changhong City, the lights came on, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided.

At this moment, the clock has quietly pointed to a little after eleven o'clock in the evening, and the exhausted Pei Shan finally set foot on this familiar yet unfamiliar land.

Under the enthusiastic and thoughtful guidance and assistance of the staff, Pei Shan, holding her young and lovely baby, slowly walked into a warm and comfortable hotel.

The hotel has an elegant and peaceful environment, like a safe haven away from the hustle and bustle, giving people a sense of peace.

I heard that Gaoluo Village suffered a terrible flood six years ago, and the ruthless flood swallowed up the entire village.

The disaster not only destroyed the villagers' homes, but also claimed many innocent lives.

Thinking of this, Pei Shan also felt a little lucky.

If I hadn't left that year, I might have become a ghost in the flood.

But my grandmother did not experience that natural disaster and passed away the second year after I left.

Fortunately, after some twists and turns and efforts, the staff finally succeeded in contacting Pei Shan’s former neighbors through various inquiries, and thus confirmed her true identity.

This undoubtedly brought some convenience to Pei Shan.

There is still important stuff to do tomorrow - go to the relevant department to handle household registration procedures.

After a tiring day of traveling, Pei Shan dragged her heavy feet into the room, washed up quickly, and couldn't wait to get into the warm bed.

She gently stroked the sleeping baby beside her and hummed an unskilled lullaby, trying to dispel the worries and uneasiness in her heart with her gentle singing.

Gradually, the baby fell into a sweet dream, and Pei Shan also felt unprecedented peace and security at this moment.

In China, a country where guns are banned, I finally don't have to live in fear every day like before.

You also have to be wary of everyone around you.

The next morning -

Pei Shan gently patted the baby in her arms who had just finished drinking milk, her face filled with the glow of maternal love.

Just then, a pleasant ringtone rang and she glanced at the caller ID.

A call from Lan Yaoxia.

After Pei Shan answered the phone, she told Lan Yaoxia about her current situation in detail.

After listening to him, Lan Yaoxia said without hesitation: "The apartment in the city center will be transferred to your name. This way, it will be much easier for you to handle the formalities."

Then he continued, "So, when do you plan to come to Linhai City?"

As he said this, he took the initiative to arrange someone to go and greet them.

At this moment, Pei Shan was busy changing the diaper for her lovely daughter.

When everything was ready, she carefully put the used diaper into the trash can.

Then, she picked up her phone and replied, "It will probably be over today."

"After all, I don't even have a place to live right now. After all the formalities are completed, I will have to go to your place to handle the transfer of ownership of the house."

Just as Lan Yaoxia lit the cigarette, the crisp sound of the lighter seemed to travel through time and space, and was accurately transmitted to Pei Shan's ears through the telephone line.

Pei Shan couldn't help but feel suspicious, and asked in a questioning tone: "Lan Yaoxia, are you smoking?"

Lan Yaoxia was stunned by these sudden words, and responded in a daze, "Huh? What's the matter?"

"Don't you smoke too?"

Seems totally unaware of the problem.

However, Pei Shan was very annoyed by Lan Yaoxia's indifferent attitude and shouted angrily: "Can you please have a little common sense!"

"My daughter is so young, she can't stand the smell of cigarettes!"

Then, Pei Shan continued to complain: "I quit smoking a long time ago!"

"And if you still want to see your daughter today, then go take a shower and change into clean clothes."

"Also remember to rinse your mouth thoroughly. Don't let me smell even the slightest bit of smoke coming from you!"

Lan Yaoxia seemed to have suddenly been enlightened at this moment. She slapped her forehead and a trace of regret appeared on her face.

With a hint of guilt, he said, "I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about this."

Then he quickly added: "How about this, tomorrow, I will also quit smoking from tomorrow!"

"It's just that I have too much work to do today, and I'm afraid it's hard to find time to go to Changhong City."

"But don't worry, I will arrange for someone to pick you and your daughter up right away."

"By the way, could you please send me a specific address?"

Hearing this, Pei Shan couldn't help but respond with some annoyance: "Okay, I get it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation and threw the phone aside, as if the anger deep in his heart had not yet been vented.

"Really? My own daughter doesn't even pay attention to the details."

“Is money the only thing on rich people’s minds?”

Lan Yaoxia was keenly aware of the anger in Pei Shan's words. She stared silently at the phone that had been hung up, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then, he gently put out the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, as if to extinguish the sin together.

Then, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently pressed the dial button on the phone.

"Gao Ming, come to my office."

Not long after, there was a light but rapid knock on the door.

After the door opened, a tall and handsome man walked in.

As the special assistant to the president of Lan Group, Gao Ming has always been known for his rigor and efficiency.

Gao Ming walked up to Lan Yaoxia, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully, "President, what do you want to tell me?"

Lan Yaoxia raised her head, stared at Gao Ming sharply, and said concisely and clearly: "Go to Changhong City immediately and pick someone up for me."

"Remember, don't ask too many questions. This matter must not be spread outside!"

Gao Ming was well aware of his responsibilities, and he nodded quickly to show that he understood.

After all, to be able to climb to such a high position in the fiercely competitive Lan Group, he not only possesses outstanding work ability, but also extraordinary wisdom and insight.

He knew just the right balance between which questions to ask and which to remain silent on, and which information to reveal and which to keep strictly confidential.

Seeing Gao Ming agreed, Lan Yaoxia nodded with satisfaction, and then added: "You should prepare to leave first. I will send you the specific address later."

“We must ensure the safety and smoothness of the operation”

"Bring some bodyguards with you this time, I don't want any accidents"

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Gao Ming to leave the office and began to arrange follow-up matters.
