Reborn in 1999: Starting as a black marketeer

After disembarking, Wang Feiyang successfully cleared customs and arrived at the international arrivals hall. He then took out the domestic SIM card he had prepared and put it in the card.

Upon arriving at the lobby entrance, I intended to head straight to the airport bus ticket counter, but after remembering what Tian Tian had said, I hesitated for a moment and then stopped.

Let's just have a meal. It's good to make another friend. After all, they didn't mean any harm. Why should a grown man be so fussy?

Before he could finish his cigarette, he received a call from Tian Tian, ​​who asked which gate Wang Feiyang was at and told him not to wander off and to just wait by the roadside.

A few minutes later, a small red Volkswagen Golf sped up and stopped beside Wang Feiyang. The window rolled down, and Tian Tian leaned out and waved to Wang Feiyang, "Get in!"

She opened the car door and got in. Tian Tian skillfully steered with one hand around the taxi parked in front of her and drove forward.

"How about we spend two days exploring the capital before leaving? There are so many fun places here, and I'm off work these two days, so I can be your tour guide."

Wang Feiyang quickly shook his head, "I have important business to attend to, and time is tight, so let's do it another time."

"What important business could a student like you possibly have? By the way, you still haven't said why you suddenly came back to China," Tian Tian asked curiously.

She found Wang Feiyang quite mysterious. She had met many international students, but this was the first time she had met someone like Wang Feiyang.

How can someone return to China after studying abroad for less than three months?

Wang Feiyang paused for a moment before saying, "I did some business over there. This trip back to China is for work purposes; I'm going to meet with some business partners."

Doing business isn't anything shameful, so he didn't hide it and spoke frankly about it.

This surprised Tian Tian, ​​who turned around in astonishment and asked, "Starting a business?! Didn't you just arrive in Moscow to study? How come you're already doing business?"

Wang Feiyang quickly reminded her, "Watch where you're going!"

Tian Tian then turned her head back, but still pressed on, "Are you going to Moscow to study or to do business? You're not just trying to fool me by saying you're a student, are you?"

"What's in it for me to fool you? Why can't I do business while studying abroad? Is there any rule against it?" Wang Feiyang said with a helpless bitter smile.

"That's true, but you're moving way too fast. You've only just arrived and don't know anyone there yet, and you're already starting a business..."

"Before I went there, I did some research on the market through friends, and I also have friends who do business there to help me. Besides, it's not a big business, just small-scale operations," Wang Feiyang said half-jokingly, not wanting to explain further on the matter.

Tian Tian wasn't the kind of girl who was brainless. Seeing that Wang Feiyang didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, she wisely stopped asking and started talking about the food in Beijing instead.

She sounds like a local from Beijing; she knows all the good food and fun places around here. She's definitely got the makings of a tour guide...

"What do you want to eat? Roast duck? If you want roast duck, don't go to Quanjude, that's just a rip-off for tourists and foreigners. I know a roast duck restaurant that's definitely better than Quanjude..."

"It's still early in the morning, they probably haven't opened their doors yet," Wang Feiyang said with a laugh.

"Oh right, it's only seven o'clock! Let's go have breakfast then, how about we try braised pork and soy milk, hehe." Tian Tian suddenly realized.

"You've been working all night, don't you need to go home and rest?" Wang Feiyang couldn't help but ask.

On the plane, he could at least get some sleep, but Tian Tian, ​​as a flight attendant, certainly didn't have much time to rest.

But looking at her so energetic, she doesn't seem like someone who just worked a night shift at all.

"I'm used to it. We can go a whole day and night without sleep on international flights without any problem. Besides, I just woke up before boarding yesterday, so I'm not sleepy at all now." Tian Tian looked completely unconcerned, as if staying up all night was perfectly normal for her.

As if she had thought of something, she quickly added, "What's wrong? Are you sleepy? How about I find you a place to rest?"

Just as Wang Feiyang was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Su Ying calling.

He informed Su Ying and Song Yi, as well as President Gu, in advance of his return.

I guess Su Ying called at the exact time; she's probably just gotten up herself.

Seeing that Wang Feiyang was on the phone, Tian Tian immediately quieted down and focused on driving.

"Hello, Su Ying." Wang Feiyang answered the phone.

"Honey, you've gotten off the plane, right? When are you coming to see me?"

"I need to finish my work first, which should take about three days, four days at most. Then I'll fly from Hanju to see you," Wang Feiyang said helplessly.

"Ah~ it'll take another three or four days. But business is more important, you go take care of your business first, I'll wait for you..."

After exchanging a few words, Su Ying hung up the phone.

Before he could even put his phone away, Song Yi called again, offering another explanation. However, since Song Yi was in Hanju, the two of them would be able to meet that evening.

Although Tian Tian was driving, she secretly perked up her ears to listen to Wang Feiyang's phone call. Unfortunately, the car was traveling on the highway, and the noise was quite loud, so she couldn't hear what the person on the other end was saying at all.

After Wang Feiyang finally hung up the phone, she casually asked with a smile, "Did your girlfriend come to check up on you?"

"Uh...yes," Wang Feiyang said frankly.

"Really?! Which one is your girlfriend, the first or the second?" Tian Tian immediately became gossipy and pressed for details.

"Both of them!" Wang Feiyang laughed.

He was just telling the truth, but Tian Tian pouted and said, "Hmph, I've noticed you're quite the smooth talker, and you especially love to joke around."

Wang Feiyang was speechless. He had clearly told the truth, but he was being labeled as "slick-talking nonsense"...

She could only say helplessly, "Fine, don't believe me then. By the way, why didn't your boyfriend pick you up when you got back from your business trip? He's not a very good boyfriend."

"Hehe, I don't even know where my boyfriend is yet. Besides, I'm only 20 years old, still young, what's the rush?" Tian Tian said proudly.

"Let's find a place to grab some breakfast, something like tofu pudding, steamed buns, or meat pies. After more than two months in Moscow, the thing I'm least used to is the breakfasts there. It's bread and milk every day, I'm so tired of it," Wang Feiyang said casually.

Tian Tian nodded and smiled, "I knew it! Breakfast in China is indeed so abundant, with so many choices. Here, I'll take you to Zengshengkui. Their sugar-coated fried dough, tofu pudding, and beef patties are all amazing! The freshly fried sugar-coated fried dough is so crispy it crumbles, with a thick layer of brown sugar that can be pulled into threads. The beef patty has a skin so thin you can see through it, and when you bite into it, it bursts with juice. The beef filling is fresh, fragrant, and not gamey at all. A little vinegar is just right to cut through the richness..."

Wang Feiyang's mouth watered as he listened...
