Chapter 91 Red Cards, Not as Good-Looking as Gold Cards
Not long after the black sedan left.
A purple Pagani Huayra Roadster came sprinting over from a road on the other side with less traffic.
The roaring sound waves exploded on the empty road, and the fallen leaves on the road were swept up by the speeding wheels, flying into mid-air.
"Woo-hoo! Awesome! This is so awesome!" Ling Yue cheered excitedly.
She raised her hands into the air to fight against the wind; the thrill of street racing was a wanton indulgence she was experiencing for the first time in her life, and it was simply intoxicating!
It was different from showing off her skills on the track last time.
This time, speeding along the road, the continuous acceleration pushing her back into the seat and the wind rushing in fiercely sent her adrenaline into a frenzy, causing her brain to continuously send out excited commands.
In an instant, Ling Yue seemed to have forgotten all her worries. Although she had no worries, it didn't stop her from wanting this road to be infinitely extended.
As they were about to approach the residential complex gate, Zang Lanyi slowly pressed the brake.
She waited for the car to come to a complete stop.
A cold wind brushed past, and Ling Yue shivered.
It was April, and the spring chill had returned.
Ling Yue sniffled.
She held up an index finger to Zang Lanyi, her face full of lingering excitement, "One more lap!"
Just as Zang Lanyi was about to answer, she saw the screen of the phone held in Ling Yue's palm light up.
The vibration in her palm briefly pulled Ling Yue away from the joy of the sprint. Only then did she realize that because of her excitement, she had been gripping the phone so tightly that it had left several deep red marks all over her palm, which hurt a little.
She unlocked it and opened WeChat.
Cheng Jiao: "Dinner is ready. What time will you be home, Miss?"
Zang Lanyi had one hand on the window sill and the other on the steering wheel.
To be honest, street racing while on the clock was an even better moment than slacking off.
She was full of anticipation, waiting for Ling Yue to give the command to 'go'.
But things didn't go as planned.
After some intense internal struggle, Ling Yue finally put down her phone, "Forget it, let's not run anymore. Drive home."
The car would always be there, and she could drive it anytime.
If the food got cold, the best moment to savor it would be missed.
Ling Yue would not allow that.
Upon entering the residential complex, Zang Lanyi drove very slowly to minimize the noise.
After a delicious, satisfying meal, someone collapsed onto the sofa in a carb-induced daze.
Only then did Cheng Jiao walk over to report that the President of the Head Office of Zhongcheng Bank had visited.
Ling Yue held the card, turning it over and over under the light for a few seconds before concluding, "It doesn't look as good as the gold card."
Cheng Jiao said, "This is a roster they left behind."
Ling Yue didn't get up.
Cheng Jiao, being extremely tactful, sat down beside her boss and held the roster in front of her, acting as a human bookstand.
It was similar to a brochure, the kind with pictures.
There wasn't much text, and Ling Yue finished reading it quickly.
It was generally about how Zhongcheng Bank had established an exclusive service team for her (with wider coverage and more comprehensive services), some projects the bank had recently been involved in, examples of customized financial products, global linkage support, and other such privileged services.
She had received too many similar privileges recently and had no time to try them all out one by one. Besides, they were all lined up.
Ling Yue shook her head, and Cheng Jiao put the booklet away.
The phone rang before Ling Yue could. It was a call from Su Zhao.
"What's up?" Ling Yue answered the phone, pressed speakerphone, and placed the phone on the sofa.
"Hello there, Ling Yue." Su Zhao's tone was lively, "The weather forecast shows a rainstorm the day after tomorrow. The road up the mountain will be slippery and visibility will be low. I was wondering if we should go see the house a day earlier or a day later?"
When Su Zhao said this, Cheng Jiao also checked the weather.
She held her phone up to Ling Yue, and the screen clearly showed the weather in Suzhou for the next few days. There was indeed a rainstorm the day after tomorrow.
Tomorrow and the day after the day after tomorrow were both cloudy, so either day would work.
Since that was the case, "Then let's postpone it by one day and go on the day after the day after tomorrow."
It would be a good chance to see how the manor handled drainage after a rainstorm.
"OK, OK, I'll reschedule the trip right now."
Hanging up the phone, Ling Yue was lost in thought.
Suzhou. One of the ten most beautiful tourist cities in China. The Jiangnan water town that people from the north dream of. A place you must visit once in your life. It was very close to Hangzhou. It only took a few hours to drive there.
She had stayed home before because she had just recovered, but now she was as strong as a young calf!
Ling Yue sat up.
This sudden movement made Cheng Jiao's eyelashes tremble, and a hint of confusion colored her eyes.
Ling Yue jumped off the sofa, walked to the middle of the living room, and clapped her hands, "Come, come, everyone stop what you're doing and come over here for a moment."
Wang Junqi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen; Luo Shanshan, who was watering flowers and feeding fish outside; Zang Lanyi, who was coming out of the bathroom; and Qu Shu, who was cleaning the stairs with a small broom—they all put down their work and arrived in front of Ling Yue as quickly as possible.
Everyone stood quietly, waiting for their boss's instructions.
Ling Yue cleared her throat, "Spring is bright and the scenery is beautiful, and everything is renewing itself. On this wonderful day, I have decided that we are going to start our team's first group trip!"
As her voice fell, the companions had different expressions.
"Where are we going? Where are we going?" Luo Shanshan responded enthusiastically. A trip, huh? Who wouldn't like that? Plus, it was paid.
Ling Yue replied, "Suzhou, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Ahhh! I haven't bought any new clothes lately. How can I go on a trip without new clothes? If I had known, I should have bought that dress three days ago!" Qu Shu said, her excitement mixed with annoyance, feeling truly regretful and anxious.
"Are we driving or taking the high-speed rail?" Zang Lanyi's expression didn't change. As a personal bodyguard, she had to follow her everywhere except when sleeping, so it was all the same to her. Of course, in a nice environment, she could also take a look along the way, which would put her in a better mood.
Wang Junqi lowered his head and muttered, "Then I have to think about which tools to bring..."
Ling Yue raised her hands and pressed them down. Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
They listened as Ling Yue explained the arrangements, "This counts as both a trip and a business trip. If anyone has personal matters and cannot go, you can let me know, and I will grant you leave. Those who want to go should pack their luggage tonight, and we will drive there ourselves tomorrow morning."
"Cheng Jiao, set up a new work group, pull everyone in, as well as Team Leader Liang's squad and Hu Liyun's team, and tell everyone about the trip."
"Understood." Cheng Jiao nodded and asked, "Miss, you don't have any property in Suzhou. I have some hotel recommendations here. Would you like to choose one?"
Ling Yue raised her hand, "I want to stay for a few days, and I don't want to stay in a hotel for a long time. The house needs to be big, and there need to be many rooms. Relay these two requirements to Jin Xiangwan and have her help contact her colleagues in Suzhou. We will go and see the house in person as soon as we arrive in Suzhou tomorrow."
Ling Yue transferred ten thousand yuan to Cheng Jiao, "This is a thank-you fee for her; you can pass it on to her. As for the recommended hotels, let me see them."
"One moment." Cheng Jiao opened the Trip.com system and expanded the favorites list.
Ling Yue took the phone and scrolled up and down to look. One of the ultra-luxury hotels was a brand under Dali Group.
Ling Yue pointed at it, "This one. Once the number of people is confirmed, contact Manager Hong. He will make the arrangements."
"Understood."
