Just as Feng Qing and Xie Jiuhan were having breakfast, Liu Yan was looking at his phone screen in a barbecue restaurant on the other side of Chenghai City. There was a faint look of disappointment in his eyes. Feng Qing rejected his invitation again. At this moment, an intern said, “Senior Liu Yan, why are you in a daze? Have you contacted Qingqing? Is she coming over?”

Before Liu Yan could speak, Lu Yingying curled her lips and said, “What’s there to talk about? You don’t have to ask to know the outcome. Feng Qing is Madam Xie. How can she be like us?”

Seeing the disappointed expression on Liu Yan’s face, the student said unhappily, “This Student Feng Qing is really something. She’s the most antisocial every time.”

Their thoughts were the same as Feng Jianing. When they heard the name of Madam Xie, they immediately thought that she was married to a member of the Xie collateral family. Although she wasn’t someone they could easily offend, she didn’t have the status and deterrence of the First Lady of the Xie family. Moreover, Feng Qing brought a bodyguard with her this time and didn’t eat and drink with them. This made them all feel unhappy. It was as if Feng Qing looked down on them.

Liu Yan took a deep breath and explained on behalf of Feng Qing, “Everyone, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that Student Feng Qing doesn’t want to come. Everyone saw it during the meeting. She’s not feeling well. Let her rest in the hotel. Everyone, please understand.”

This time, it was a female intern who was closer to Lu Yingying. She said, “Hmph, I understand. After all, she’s Madam Xie. She’s a noble. Her body is very delicate. Otherwise, why would she have a nosebleed in a humid place like Chenghai?”

Hearing this, Liu Yan frowned and turned to look at the girl who had spoken. His eyes were filled with blame. The girl was frightened by his gaze and could only look away and pretend that nothing had happened. Seeing that the girl had stopped talking, Liu Yan retracted his gaze. He opened his phone screen and looked at the sentence that Feng Qing’s bodyguard had just sent him. This sentence suddenly reminded him of Feng Qing’s husband. Although he had never seen Feng Qing’s mysterious husband, he had accidentally heard that man’s voice when Feng Qing was talking to her husband through a video call. In his memory, the way Feng Qing’s husband spoke and the words he used were very similar to the bodyguard today. They were very domineering and unreasonable. After thinking for a while, Liu Yan could not figure it out. In the end, he could only give up and eat roasted meat with the interns.

Looking at the various roasted meat that were sizzling with oil on the fire, he was a little speechless. He did not know why these people had such a good appetite. They actually wanted to eat roasted meat so early in the morning. What made him even more speechless was that Chenghai City was different from other places in the city. This BBQ place actually opened early in the morning. He asked the waiter about it. It turns out that Chenghai City was surrounded by sea on three fronts, and the atmosphere is too humid, eating roasted meat could reduce the humidity. Therefore, people of Chenghai City like to eat BBQ for three meals.

In the blink of an eye, the rest time of the morning had passed. Feng Qing had also taken a nap. After dressing up, she went to the entrance of the hotel to gather with the other interns. Just as she walked out of the elevator, she heard Lu Yingying say, “Look, the manager of Chenghai Aluminium Company is here too.”

Feng Qing looked out of the door and saw a luxurious yellow bus slowly stop at the entrance. The words “Chenghai Aluminum Mine” were spray-painted on the bus. It was obviously Chenghai Aluminum Mine’s own bus, but it was only used to pick them up now. The door opened and two people in suits got out. The man in the lead was the manager, and the woman behind him was the receptionist. After greeting Professor Sun and the others, they smiled and invited them to board the bus.

Feng Qing asked, “Where are you taking us?”

The receptionist said, “To our Chenghai Aluminum Mine, of course. What else?”

However, Feng Qing said, “I don’t want to go there. I’ll go take a look at the five mines under your Chenghai Aluminum Mine first.”

The female receptionist said disapprovingly, “I’m afraid you can’t today. According to our company’s arrangements, you will have to visit the mine the day after tomorrow. You have to go to our company’s headquarters first today. Our chairman and a group of higher-ups are already waiting for you at the entrance.”

Hearing this, Feng Qing said to the other interns, “In that case, let’s do this. I’ll go to the mines with Senior Liu Yan, Wang Wei, and Liu Hongdan. The rest of you can follow Professor Sun to the Chenghai Aluminum Mine.”
