Chapter 21
Before Grace could speak, Shane looked at the watch in her hand and said, "Let's talk about it later. Our flight is 11:30 and it is almost 10:30. Why aren't you prepared yet? We have to go to the airport now."
"Sorry, Shane. This is what I want to say. I can't accompany you on this trip.", Grace said on the phone.
...
"Why?", Shane asked in surprise.
"As for the company's affairs, you also know that a new deputy manager of the planning department has arrived, and the back-office job is very tough. If I don't do this project and go with you on a trip, the managerial position will be given to her!", Grace said angrily.
Shane knows a lot about competition in the workplace, so she had to say, "Well then, work hard. I can go there alone..."
Grace still expressed concern on the phone, but she had no choice but to hang up the phone.
Shane got up from the bed, took a deep breath, pulled up the suitcase at hand, went out alone, and went straight to the airport.
At the airport, after consigning her suitcase, Shane held the number plate in her hand, looked behind her, forced herself to smile, and said to the air, "Good bye Jacksonville. Good bye Lance."
...
On the plane, Shane slept in a dazed manner and she didn't know that the blanket on her body fell to the ground.
Shane felt cold but still closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to pull the blanket up.
Soon, the blanket was picked up from the ground and put on her again.
Shane thought it was a flight attendant and without opening her eyes, she casually said, "Thank you."
The other party did not respond. Although she smelled a a familiar breath that walked past her with a sound of footsteps, Shane fell asleep again...
In the first-class cabin, a man in a suit and leather shoes was getting up from his seat, looking at the man who had just walked in, and respectfully said, "You're back."
Jake casually nodded his head which was regarded as a response.
After returning to his seat and sat down, the man on the side sat down and delivered a document to Jake, saying, "Mr. Smith, you need to look at it yourself."
Jake took the documents from the man's hand and said to the man, "Willy, I will follow up this project personally. The specific details are in my suitcase. When you arrive in Yunnan, immediately contact the branch office. I’m going to hold a temporary meeting with the senior management at 8 o’clock tonight."
The man named Willy Hanes nodded and said respectfully, "Okay, Sir Jake."
Jake finally signed the document and said, "Okay, you can go out."
Willy nodded, took the folder, and walked out quickly.
Jake leaned his head on the seat and closed his eyes shallowly. His mind was full of the scene that he had just walked through in the economy class.
A woman with a bad sleeping look closed her eyes, stretched out her hand and fumbled around on the ground. She would rather be cold than open her eyes...
After getting off the plane, Shane took out the checked suitcase, stretched out her hand to cover the sun in the sky, and the breeze mingled with the fragrance of flowers rushed over her face.
At this moment, her mood seemed to improve a little, and she even felt that the suitcase in her hand became lighter.
Pulling out the lever of the suitcase, Shane beckoned to the taxi on the side of the road.
"Master, take me to the Lido Hotel."
Shane said the pre-booked hotel address to the taxi driver.
Soon, the taxi stopped in front of a hotel, and the kind driver helped her put the suitcase in.
This is a small-scale, but stylish but very petty hotel. She likes it very much.
After receiving the key card, Shane dragged the suitcase into her room.
This was originally a double suite, but Grace temporarily cancelled her plan to come to Yunnan, so Shane is alone.
Opening the window of the room, she stretched out comfortably, forgetting all her worries.
Shane decided to change light clothes before going to the restaurant. Turning around, she put the suitcase on the big bed, and then unzipped the suitcase...
Soon, Shane was dumbfounded!
This was not from her suitcase at all, she simply looked through the contents of the suitcase.
Inside, apart from a man's dark blue shirt and a pair of black trousers. There was also an exquisite fishing rod suit.
The fishing rod box is marked with the DAIWA silver wolf logo, which Shane recognizes.
Lance usually likes to fish. Shane saw him once use a limited-edition fishing rod of the same brand as DAIWA Red Tiger.
And under the fishing rod set is a black folder with the words AX Group on it.
Obviously, this must be the wrong suitcase at the airport consignment office.
The suitcase in front of her was the same model as hers. Shane suddenly felt shocked.
...
In the conference room of the AX branch.
Jake's fingers tapped rhythmically on the conference table.
Anyone who knows him knows that this is a sign of his impatience.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the branch office was strange. Although Jake has a smile on his face, others frequently wiped the cold sweat on their forehead while secretly staring at the new CEO of the powerful AX Group. .
"Mr. Smith, we are deeply honored for your arrival. When the meeting is over, the driver is ready to pick you up to take you to a place at Pullman Holiday Villa," said the Deputy president of the branch.
Jake did not answer, but looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "The time has come. Let's start the meeting..."
"But President Cheng hasn't arrived yet...", the vice president said cautiously.
