Chapter 67 Chapter 67 I worked as an intern assistant but...

Tropical cyclones are unreasonable. When I went out, the sun was shining brightly, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain covered the entire city.

Such weather changes are common in Singapore. It rains several times a day, but each time it only lasts for a dozen minutes. After the rain, the sky clears up and the precipitation evaporates quickly, becoming dense moisture in the air.

At first, they thought it was like this, until the red words "delay" in Changi Airport filled the timetable more and more densely, and people realized the seriousness of the situation.

Zhao Manzhi was fine, she could ask for leave from the company and delay her arrival time, but Yu Hansong also had an interview scheduled for the next day. Although he reserved buffer time for emergencies, the delay was getting longer and longer. When it came time for their flight to take off, it would be at two in the morning at the earliest.

Taking off at two, arriving at five, and interviewing at eight in the morning, Yu Hansong had no time to rest.

The information desk was crowded with dissatisfied passengers, and the airport staff were overwhelmed and exhausted. Yu Hansong squeezed out of the crowded line and shook his head dejectedly, "It's a heavy rainstorm, and I don't know when it will stop. I may have to spend the night at the airport tonight."

Zhao Manzhi tore open a piece of chocolate and handed it to him, "Can the interview be rescheduled? If not, just postpone it. I have already applied for leave, so it's okay to report later." " 

That's the only way." Yu Hansong opened the email, "There is a company that offers a high salary, but the rules are strict. If you don't show up, you will be deemed to have given up your qualifications, and you won't even have the opportunity to reschedule. It seems that we are really not destined to be together." 

He rarely showed such a worried look, and it can be seen that he really cherished this offer. 

She pursed her lips, not knowing how to comfort him. At this time, her ability was too small. She couldn't change the rain, nor could she get on a flight a few hours earlier. She could only accept the helplessness of fate. 

Yu Hansong recognized the reality earlier than her and had already edited the email to apply for a rescheduling and interview opportunity. Zhao Manzhi thought that since today was destined to be late, with a large number of stranded passengers, stocking up on food early to ensure that both of them could wait until boarding was one of the few efforts she could make. 

So she said to Yu Hansong, "You watch the luggage, I'll go buy some food. We have to stay overnight, and it's not good to be hungry." 

The other party responded with a "yes" without even looking up. 

Zhao Manzhi went to Starbucks and picked two sandwiches and coffee. Because there were so many people and the production cycle was long, she walked around while waiting, bought some fast food from the convenience store, and finally came to a souvenir shop. 

After all, it would be rare for her to come again after returning to China, so she planned to bring some souvenirs back. 

Compared with the noise of the restaurant, the souvenir shop was obviously much quieter. When she was struggling with a wall of key chains and refrigerator magnets, she heard a familiar voice. 

Jeffery. 

After all, they had worked together for so long, his voice and tone were still familiar. Zhao Manzhi didn't spend too much time to distinguish whether it was him, but instead thought about whether Zhuang Youkai was next to him. 

She held the Merlion keychain for a long time, and the clerk kindly asked, "Can I help you?" 

"Um...I am OK." 

This time it was Jeffery who looked back, ended the call in his hand in a few words, and walked over. 

"Miss Zhao, long time no see." He was still gentle and elegant, but he looked her up and down without making a sound, "How have you been recently?" " 

Fine, I didn't expect to meet you here." She smiled, but her eyes looked past him and searched behind, fortunately she couldn't find the man's trace. "Is this a gift for the family?" 

Jeffery held up the basket filled with large and small plush dolls in his hand, "I'm bringing souvenirs for the baby. The brother and sister are in a bad mood. I want what they have, and I want what they don't have, so I picked so many." 

At this time, Zhao Manzhi noticed the wedding ring on his left ring finger. 

"You're both pregnant, congratulations." 

"Twins, boy and girl, you're very lucky." He naturally brought the topic to her, "Will it take a long time? I see you bought a lot of food." 

Zhao Manzhi nodded, "It's said that it will take until two in the morning, buy more, so as not to be unable to hold on later." 

Jeffery raised his eyebrows, "Based on your appetite, these can last for two days, right?" 

"And my boyfriend." 

"I see, are you going home together?" 

"Um... to Hong Kong." 

"So we're going to the same destination." 

After a simple greeting, they fell into an awkward silence. Although they had a friendship, they couldn't avoid Zhuang Youkai. 

Seeing Jeffery's hesitant look, Zhao Manzhi observed his expression and pointed to Starbucks, "I also ordered coffee, it's almost ready. Do you want a cup?" 

"Oh, no." Jeffery raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "I should also go back. If I stay in Hong Kong in the future, I'll have some tea." 

"Okay." 

Zhao Manzhi turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. The social skills she had acquired in the workplace were enough for her to deal with the situation appropriately, but to say that she was not nervous would be deceiving herself. 

She was extremely afraid to see that face again, the face that had appeared repeatedly in her dreams for countless nights. 

Fortunately, she didn't. 

Zhao Manzhi took the drinks and snacks from Starbucks and hurried back to the boarding gate. The stranded people were slumped in their seats in all shapes and sizes. Among them, Yu Hansong was as his name suggested, like a pine or cypress that would never bend, standing alone and proudly, untainted by dust. 

She had an idea and walked over to put her things away, leaning on his shoulder, lowering her eyes slightly. 

Suddenly, she heard the gentle voice of the man above her head, "Are you sleepy?" 

Zhao Manzhi hummed, "Lean on you and sleep for a while." 

"Go to sleep." He took Zhao Manzhi's slightly cold hand and interlocked their fingers, "Are you cold? If you are, I'll take off my coat." 

"It's okay, I'm not cold." She was just a little dazed and urgently needed to confirm her sense of security by his side. 

Her heart was pounding fast along the way. She walked a long way out of the coffee shop before she finally dared to look back. 

After all, she didn't see Zhuang Youkai. 

She didn't know whether to be thankful or regretful. 

Maybe Jeffery was on a private trip? After all, business jets usually take off and land in Seletar rather than Changi. Given Zhuang Youkai's personality, it is rare for him to take a commercial flight, even if it is first class. She got up early in the morning, packed her luggage and cleaned the house. After a long journey, even though Zhao Manzhi had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she had to surrender when fatigue came. 

She leaned back for a while, smelling the reassuring citrus scent, and fell asleep. 

* 

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Manzhi was awakened by Yu Hansong. She rubbed her eyes, looked up, and saw Jeffery standing in front of her. 

Her boyfriend reminded her, "He said he's your friend." 

Zhao Manzhi's sleepiness immediately disappeared, and she tidied her hair, "What's wrong?" 

"Just now this gentleman said that they have a business jet that can take off soon, do you need a ride?" Hearing this timely news, Yu Hansong's tone became cheerful, "Manman, you decide."

Business jet, take a ride. Just a few words can piece together the process of making this decision.

Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But she couldn't ignore Yu Hansong's eager eyes. He really didn't want to miss the interview.

While Zhao Manzhi was hesitating, Jeffery looked at the man next to her. In

terms of appearance, he can be considered handsome and elegant, with a straight nose, narrow and deep eyes, and sharp edges and corners, but compared to the boss's mixed-race face with a high degree of folding and excellent bone structure, he is really indistinguishable from the crowd.

In terms of height, according to Jeffery's visual estimation with a deviation of no more than two centimeters, the man is about 1.83 meters tall, and the boss is 188 cm tall, half a head taller than him.

In terms of wealth... forget it, this is a crushing situation.

Miss Zhao's vision is really backward in all aspects.

He was thinking about it for a long time, and finally waited for Zhao Manzhi to speak.

Although he still spoke with some hesitation, "Is it Mr. Zhuang's intention?"

He had fallen to Mr. Zhuang, and it was such an unfamiliar title. Jeffery was worried for someone in his heart, "Yes."

"Will it disturb him?"

"No, you guys sit in the cabin, Mr. Zhuang will be in his exclusive lounge."

It turned out that his current position is already so high.

"Then..." Zhao Manzhi glanced at Yu Hansong, "Okay, I'll bother Mr. Zhuang, and thank you, Jeffery."

"You're welcome." He deliberately changed to Cantonese, which seemed more intimate, "Then let's go, go through the VIP lounge, and you will be able to board the plane soon."

In fact, Zhao Manzhi knew everything, but she still pretended to be ignorant, nodded and followed. Fortunately, Jeffery didn't say much. After all, both parties kept silent about the past, and outsiders couldn't say much.

Changi Airport does not have a dedicated FBO. You can go directly out of the VIP lounge and be taken to the airport by shuttle bus.

Sensing someone approaching, the automatic door opened to both sides, and the air after the rain was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants and trees, which flowed in with the breeze.

A black Alpha was waiting outside the door. There was no doubt that this was the car they were going to take.

Yu Hansong had never experienced such treatment, so he felt a little uneasy. Zhao Manzhi was dawdling because she didn't want to face Zhuang Youkai too soon.

The airport service staff helped them put their carry-on luggage on the car. When they came back after they were done, they saw that the two were still standing there. Jeffery reminded them, "Get in the car. Mr. Zhuang still has work to do. Don't waste time."

Only then did they get on the car one by one, only to find that Zhuang Youkai was not in the car at all.

Zhao Manzhi felt as if her heart was on a roller coaster, being pulled up and down constantly. If this continued, she would die on the spot before the plane landed. It was

too tiring. It would be better

to meet them head-on and die with a clear mind.

Jeffery was the most comfortable person who didn't talk all the way. He was very good at getting information with a chatty tone, and the unguarded Yu Hansong was easily asked about his family background.

When getting off the car, Zhao Manzhi reminded softly, "There's no need to say so much."

"I thought you knew each other, so it doesn't matter if you're acquaintances."

"Not that we're that familiar..."

As she spoke, she fell silent. A tall figure appeared at the end of her sight. He wore a long medium-grey Chelsea windbreaker straight and stylishly, which didn't make him look shorter, but made him look more powerful.

He seemed to be a little thinner than before, with more distinct edges and corners, and a cold aura. Because of his high brow bones, a layer of shadow covered his amber pupils, even the little bit of mercy was wiped out, leaving only the arrogance that could not be hidden.

Zhao Manzhi shuddered suddenly.

It turned out that looking at him from such a distance, he was so unattainable.

"This is the current chairman of the board of directors of Huanye Group, Zhuang Youkai, Mr. Zhuang."

After Jeffery introduced him, Yu Hansong stepped forward to express his gratitude. Zhuang Youkai stretched out his hand to shake his hand, his expression was very indifferent, as if he was not interested in his compliments.

In a trance, she glanced at Zhao Manzhi.

He was still nonchalant, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Their eyes met for only a moment, and the next second, he withdrew his hand and put it in his windbreaker pocket, passed her, and went straight up the gangway.

Jeffery was stunned for a moment, and hurried to follow.

"What a strong aura, shaking hands with him can cost half your life." Seeing that there was no one else at the scene, Yu Hansong, who was so nervous that his whole body was stiff, breathed a sigh of relief, "Manman, you know such a big shot, why haven't you heard of it?" He

was willing to take them back, so it must be more than an ordinary relationship.

"Oh... It's not a very important thing, so I didn't say it." Zhao Manzhi smiled, "I was a summer intern before, and worked as an intern assistant to Director Zhuang for a while, that's all."

"In this case, it's rare that he still remembers you."

"The boss is a good person."

The murmured voice was heard by the people at the gangway.

Jeffery raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Youkai's expression, and didn't dare to breathe.

"It's not a very important matter."

"I was just an intern assistant to Director Zhuang."

Zhao Manzhi is amazing. Seeing her clinging to that guy like a little bird, I thought she had changed her personality.

Unexpectedly, she is still surprisingly courageous.

In the low-pressure atmosphere, the captain handed over a confirmation form, "Director Zhuang, we need your signature here."

He readily followed the advice, took out the Montblanc fountain pen from his chest, signed his name and returned it.

The captain looked at the cracks on the paper made by the sharp pen tip and fell into deep thought -

this big shot's handwriting is different, the force is so strong that it penetrates the back of the paper and goes deep into the wood.
