Chapter 415: Chapter 57: I’m Waiting for the Wind and for You_2 Chapter 415: Chapter 57: I’m Waiting for the Wind and for You_2 “You had this matter planned so early, even reserving the use of this skyspace aircraft half a year ago, but until this aircraft’s first trial flight according to the original plan, there was no movement from you...

Did something go wrong?@@@@

If you need our help, and there is something I can assist with, please do not hesitate to ask us at any time.”

Huang Que sighed softly upon hearing this:

“There’s nothing I can do, Director Zhang, I too wish to carry out my plan sooner.”

“It’s just a shame...”

She turned, facing the vast avenue outside the launch center, the only road leading here:

“[The person I’m waiting for hasn’t arrived yet.]”

Director Zhang seemed thoughtful, and finally, without pressing further, chuckled lightly:

“Being late is not a good sign, especially when a lady has been kept waiting for so long.”

“It doesn’t really matter.” Huang Que tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear:

“Being late is still better than not showing up at all.”

After a few seconds, she smiled and lowered her head:

“[After all...

I’ve long been accustomed to waiting for him.]”

...

Swoosh.

In the Rhein Company building, Lin Xian’s office.

Zhao Yingjun placed two invitation cards on the desk:

“Chu Shanhe is hosting the ‘Science Charity Dinner’ the day after tomorrow.

...

You attended last year as well, but this year the event is being held a bit later than usual.

Usually, it’s around the end of the year.

This time, Chu Shanhe said that an overseas philanthropist is also very supportive of the scientific development in China, in Donghai City, and wants to participate in this ‘Science Charity Dinner’.

So after some coordination, Chu Shanhe scheduled this year’s charity dinner to take place after New Year’s Day, which is now midway through January.”

Lin Xian nodded and picked up the invitation bearing his name.

Chu Shanhe had handwritten his name on it.

Nowadays, he was also considered a person of some status in Donghai City, not only having been awarded honors like Brave Youth and Top Ten Citizens; but having also joined the Donghai Chamber of Commerce presided over by Chu Shanhe, he had become one of the official members.

So...

looking at this invitation issued specifically to him, and that legitimately, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat emotional, somewhat nostalgic.

Last year’s ‘Science Charity Dinner’ was the first time in his life he had attended such a high-society dinner.

Reserved, stiff, somewhat out of place.

And back then, he didn’t even qualify for an invitation.

He was completely basking in Zhao Yingjun’s light, brought along just to freeload a meal.

In the vast venue, no one recognized him, no one spoke to him.

He was just an invisible person, a nobody, someone standing behind Zhao Yingjun to deflect dance invitations for her.

But now.

A year had passed.

Lin Xian exhaled.

A puff of faint white mist came out.

This year in Donghai City, there was no snow, but it was still bitterly cold.

...

In the office, coming back to his senses.

Lin Xian noticed Zhao Yingjun, wearing a white cotton coat today, taking an interested look at him, her silver earrings shimmering:

“Do you feel as if times have changed, that years have flown by?”

“You could tell.” Lin Xian chuckled dryly, putting down the invitation in his hand:

“Speaking of which, I should thank you.

At a time when I was nothing and had no real abilities, you got me such an expensive suit.”

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

“Now you, can buy an even more expensive and better-fitting suit, or even have an international master tailor one for you.

Last year, because the dinner was in the evening and there was no time for tailoring, you wore an off-the-rack suit that was simply altered, so it might not have fit as well.”

“No need for that,” Lin Xian replied.

“I really liked that one.”

“Don’t worry.”

He looked up at Zhao Yingjun:

“This time, I will tighten my tie a bit more.

Wear my armor well, take up my sword.”

Pfft—

Zhao Yingjun, who rarely laughed out loud, covered half her face with her fair hand, unable to hide her amusement:

“You still remember that.”

“Of course.”

Lin Xian looked at the invitation on his office desk, the one belonging to Zhao Yingjun:

“Aren’t you taking yours?”

“Let’s go together on the day,” Zhao Yingjun pointed at the calendar:

“The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, Rhein Company and MX Company are holding their annual summary meetings together; you always have to attend, right?

All our vice presidents will be there too, Brother Wang said you’d come.”

Lin Xian nodded:

“Brother Wang told me about it.

I definitely have to be at that meeting.

It’s just...”

He looked at Zhao Yingjun:

“It’s just that after the annual summary meeting of Rhein Company and MX Company, Brother Wang also arranged for me to hold a spirit conveyance meeting for the middle managers of Rhein Company, to briefly talk about the plans and requirements for the new year.

I’m afraid it’ll take a while, and then I can go to the ‘Science Charity Banquet’.”

“That’s okay.”

Zhao Yingjun habitually tucked the stray hairs on her cheek behind her ear with her index finger, smiling at Lin Xian:

“I’ll wait for you.”
