In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong
Chapter 305 The New Year is Coming~
The group chatted animatedly on the plane, and by the time the plane landed in East Africa, they had already finalized five or six projects to invest in. Basically, everyone present had at least one investment project that they were optimistic about.
With the strength of their family, as heirs, they naturally have no shortage of money for their own investment, but they invite friends to invest together, not only to share the investment risk, but also to deepen the friendship between each other by jointly investing in Egypt's tourism resources.
The relationship between classmates needs to be maintained, and given their family background and status, common interests are the best way to connect this network.
This graduation trip wasn't just about having fun; it also had the potential to deepen friendships and maintain connections. Everyone present understood this, so they all tacitly contributed to the trip.
Project investment cannot be finalized in a few words. A series of things need to be done, including arranging a team to inspect and evaluate the plan, negotiating cooperation with the government, or obtaining the right to develop the scenic spot, etc.
However, these trivial matters had no impact on their subsequent journey. As heirs, they had no shortage of secretaries who could handle investment matters. While they happily admired the natural scenery of East Africa, their secretaries had already formed investment teams and were working hard in Egypt.
East Africa is poor, but the scenery is truly magnificent.
Steep cliffs, volcanoes, lakes and wetlands contrast beautifully with pine and cypress forests. This is a wonder of nature, and being there will give rise to a feeling that the world is so big and they are as small and insignificant as dust.
The group led the team to climb Mount Kilimanjaro while taking safety precautions.
Fu Ziyan doesn't like climbing mountains, but when she was walking and laughing with her friends on the mountain trails of Mount Kilimanjaro, feeling the ecological changes from tropical rainforest to cold ice field, even she could not help but sigh, "This trip was not in vain."
At Lake Bogoria, watch the blue water transform into a sea of pink as flocks of flamingos gather, and capture the golden reeds dancing with the flamingos. Along the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, in the Masai Mara and Serengeti grasslands, take a sightseeing bus and watch the migration of wildebeest, elephants, hippos, African lions, and other wildlife.
After East Africa, they traveled to other countries in North Africa, West Africa and South Africa.
In Madagascar, I visited the Avenue of the Baobabs, a vast, seemingly extraterrestrial avenue, especially beautiful at sunset. I also encountered ring-tailed lemurs in the rainforest and visited Bemaraha to admire the karst and stone forest formations I'd seen in textbooks. In South Africa, I visited Victoria Falls, one of the world's three largest waterfalls, and took photos at the Cape of Good Hope, a significant maritime landmark.
It is true that conditions in Africa are not good, but they are not the kind of people who would make themselves suffer.
For this trip, Betty arranged for daily flights to deliver supplies. Champagne, fruit desserts... every detail of her daily life was meticulously prepared. Even if she occasionally experienced acclimatization issues, she recovered quickly under the care of the accompanying medical team.
But even so, under the wind and sun, even those who have always lived a life of luxury cannot avoid getting tanned.
Although Fu Qiyuan allowed his daughter to travel to Africa, he still had a lot of concerns. As a well-behaved and sensible daughter, Fu Ziyan would call her father overseas every time she returned to the city to report her safety and share her recent journey.
By the time they finished their brief tour around Africa, the time had already transitioned from November to the end of January of the following year, skipping Christmas and New Year's Day, and approaching the Spring Festival.
Returning to Cairo Airport again was a little different from the previous time. The last time I was there, I was just traveling, but this time, I was there to sign a contract for a project investment.
The secretariat has already prepared all the investment matters. They only need to stay for a day or two to have a meal with the director of the local government/Cultural and Tourism Bureau and sign relevant documents.
At the airport, we were greeted by officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
They were all mentally prepared. This trip was originally for the final signing of the tourism investment project. According to normal procedures, it was reasonable for local government officials to come to the airport to pick them up.
Out of courtesy, they all changed into casual clothes suitable for travel before departure. After the plane landed, the bodyguards went out of the cabin first. After ensuring safety, the group put on their coats and stood up and left the cabin with grace.
"Welcome to Egypt..." As expected, the opening was a long paragraph of official jargon.
They had met countless high-ranking officials and nobles since they were young, and the government officials who greeted them were nothing compared to them. There was no tension or solemnity. Interpersonal relationships were the basic skills that these heirs had learned.
But it's true that after two months of fun, I'm too lazy to deal with all this official language.
So after a show of hands vote, Holden, who was the first to propose investing in tourism projects, was the first to be pushed forward with a unanimous vote.
Holden: ???
They've all been playing for two months, is it possible that I'm just too lazy to pay attention?
Others: innocent face jpg.
Although he was heartbroken by his fake friend, Holden still took over the task without complaint after getting off the plane, and exchanged pleasantries with these officials gracefully and easily.
These officials will continue to mention others in their conversations, but that is enough. After all, there is a difference between occasional courtesy and main courtesy.
After having a sumptuous meal with officials and chatting happily, they went to the Culture and Tourism Bureau the next day with their secretaries and legal team to sign the contract.
After signing the contract, the plane did not stop and glided into the sky. The vast yellow sky turned into British-style city buildings, and London was already in sight.
As they approached London Airport, the friends were reluctant to leave: "We're saying goodbye so soon! Selene, remember to visit us next time you come to the UK!"
Most of the students in the Eaglet Class are Europeans, and among the dozen or so people traveling together, only Fu Ziyan does not live in Europe for a long time.
"No problem~" Fu Ziyan smiled brightly and winked playfully, "You're also welcome to come to Hong Kong to play with me."
Although she is reluctant to part, Fu Ziyan is now looking forward to returning to Hong Kong to meet her father. She will stay at the manor for one night, rest well and then go home tomorrow.
At this moment, Fu Ziyan, with a smile on her face, didn't know that there was a "surprise" waiting for her in her manor.
*
The car drove into the manor, and Butler Fink came to greet him as usual: "Welcome back, Miss."
Fu Ziyan was about to ask about the recent situation in the manor when Fink's second half of the sentence rang out: "Mr. Westminster is waiting for you in the reception room."
She hesitated in disbelief and said, "Who?"
"It's me." A Chinese voice with a London accent came from not far away.
Fu Ziyan looked up in the direction of the voice and her pupils shrank sharply.
At this moment, her brain seemed to be filled with water, and there was a trace of despair.
Two days before the graduation ceremony, Fu Ziyan called Weilda to break up, saying that she would be busy with work after graduation and had no time for a long-distance relationship.
Although she felt a tinge of guilt, wondering if she had been a bit bad, Fu Ziyan quickly consoled herself. It was graduation season, breakup season; she was simply letting go of things appropriately.
At the time, Welda tried to persuade Fu Ziyan to give up this terrible idea, but Fu Ziyan was as hard-hearted as a rock and refused to change her mind. Before she hung up the phone, the last thing Fu Ziyan heard was Welda's angry laughter.
In the following days, until the day she left for her trip to Africa, Wilda didn't call again. Fu Ziyan thought he had accepted the breakup and gave up.
But why did he appear in her manor again?
But after a moment of panic, Fu Ziyan regained her usual elegance and composure. She cleared her throat, which she thought was dry, and smiled, "Wilda, why are you here?"
A pair of green eyes looked at her calmly, and he spoke calmly as if nothing had happened: "I checked the flight routes at the airport and found out that you have booked a flight back today."
Fu Ziyan didn't enter the main building, but walked towards the garden. Since Wilda was waiting for her here, it was a good opportunity for them to make peace. "You know that's not what I'm asking."
Wilda followed naturally. He didn't answer the question, but looked at Fu Ziyan with a smile: "Selene, do you think my Chinese is good?"
Ever since meeting Fu Ziyan, Wilda has been speaking Chinese.
Fu Ziyan was helpless. Welda was clearly trying to change the subject. However, given their family backgrounds, there was always a chance for further cooperation after their breakup. They both knew deep down that they should avoid falling out.
She nodded: "That's good. It's amazing that you can say so much in such a short time."
"I hired many Chinese teachers to teach me and practice with me." A smile flashed in Wilda's eyes. He was satisfied with his Chinese level, but he wanted Selene to be satisfied as well.
"Selene, you said you wanted to go home to work and live. I can live with you in Hong Kong, so that we won't be considered a long-distance relationship."
At first, Wilda was really irritated by Selene and wanted to just give in to her wishes. But every time she saw the custom ring they had designed together, she couldn't bear to take it off.
After hesitating over and over again for a month, Wilda had to admit that she really couldn't bear to let go of Selene. In the end, she won the tug-of-war.
When he was planning to go to Hong Kong to win back his girlfriend, he found out that Selene had gone traveling in Africa.
Wilda waited and waited. For more than a month, he had called the airport manager every day. Finally, he received the news that Selene was returning today, and immediately drove to the manor to wait for her return.
In Chinese, this is called "waiting for the rabbit by the tree."
Fu Ziyan knew that Wilda must have thought it over carefully for saying this, but... "Wilda, I appreciate your kindness, but you should have your own life. We have broken up."
"Selene, I don't believe you don't love me anymore. We clearly have similar interests." Wilda's eyes were blazing. "Even after we go to Hong Kong, I'll still be like before. I won't bother you when you're working, and we can continue to play fun sports like skateboarding together on holidays."
Just as Wilda said, Fu Ziyan had not completely cooled down her feelings for Wilda, but since she had made the decision, she would not hesitate or change it again.
When it breaks, it breaks!
"Wilda, if you're willing, I can still invite you to go skateboarding, racing, jet skiing, and other things when I come to Europe again. But our relationship should end here. Your life should focus on the UK. There's no need to move to Hong Kong just for me."
Wilda flattened the corners of her lips and tried to persuade her: "Selene, Hong Kong is also British."
Fu Ziyan frowned at him and emphasized each word firmly, "No, Hong Kong has always belonged to China. In another twenty years, the lease will expire."
"Sorry, Selene, I made a slip of the tongue. You are right, Hong Kong will return to China." Wilda apologized with pursed lips. He was annoyed in his heart, wondering why he was so tongue-tied!
In fact, at that time, China and Britain had not yet reached a final conclusion on the Hong Kong issue, but Selene insisted, so he naturally followed his girlfriend's wishes.
Fu Ziyan accepted Welda's apology, but didn't let it go. "Look, Welda, maybe you just blurted out those words in a moment of haste, but it also means that when I return to Hong Kong, our positions will be different. For the sake of our friendship, breaking up is the best solution."
"Selene..."
Fu Ziyan curved her lips and smiled brightly, interrupting his chatter. "Wilda, it's nice to meet you. This is a memory worth cherishing, but it's time to end it here. I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. I hope we'll meet again."
Wilda sighed. After being in love with her for three years, he knew Selene's temper too well.
She would not change her decision to break up, and if they met again, they could only be friends at best.
"I see."
Wilda lowered his eyes sadly, walked forward and hugged her, and whispered his love to her one last time, with a hint of bitterness: "Selene, I love you."
Fu Ziyan let him hug her and didn't refuse. After all, this was the last time.
As long as they can break up in a decent manner, she is willing to respect every ex-boyfriend.
After saying that, Wilda let go of her hand. He lowered his head and smiled at her, but the green in his eyes was not bright. He continued to speak in Chinese: "Selene, I wish you a safe journey. I look forward to our next meeting. Next time we race, I will definitely not lose again."
"Okay, but I don't think I'll lose either." Fu Ziyan nodded in response to his challenge, then smiled and teased as if she were just a friend, "However, classmate Wilda, Teacher Selene wants to correct you on a point. Airplanes always take off against the wind; a smooth sailing isn't suitable for airplanes."
"I see. I understand." He nodded, like an ordinary studious student, and changed the subject, "Then I wish you a safe journey. Is that okay?"
"sure."
Wilda smiled and nodded, but instead of following the noble etiquette, he simply waved and turned away. His voice drifted on the wind: "I'm leaving, Selene. Goodbye."
