Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Going Abroad

"When I come back, we’ll have the wedding!"

"Okay."

Shen Que reluctantly hugged Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng felt a bit guilty inside.

She tightened her arms again. Sensing Jiang Cheng’s unease, Shen Que comforted her, "You are already my wife. We have a lifetime to spend together. Now, go and do what you want to do. I have responsibilities of my own to take on. Neither of us owes anything to the other. We are both working towards a better future."

"Mm."

Jiang Cheng gave a heavy nod, letting a few tears stain Shen Que’s clothes.

How lucky she was to find Shen Que, with whom she felt a deep connection.

"I’m off. Wait for me to return with the latest production line!"

Jiang Cheng let go and gave Shen Que a brilliant smile, confidently clenching her fist.

"You definitely can."

Shen Que encouraged her in time. Jiang Cheng waved her hand and turned, running towards the team awaiting her departure.

Jiang Cheng joined her traveling team and set off. Before entering the gate, she turned back once more, and Shen Que was still there.

Shen Que’s presence seemed to tell Jiang Cheng that no matter where she went, as long as she looked back, he would always be there.

Jiang Cheng nodded at Shen Que and made a heart gesture.

From a distance, Shen Que put his thumb and forefinger together and pondered: What does this mean?

Already seated on the plane, Jiang Cheng looked out the window.

With the roar of the engines, the plane taxied and took off, the sensation of being pushed back hit, and a buzzing filled her ears.

She was going abroad.

Her thoughts returned to the day before the trade fair ended, when someone from Beijing approached her.

They wanted her to serve as the interpreter for the trip abroad.

The purpose of going abroad was to secure a production line from Country M.

They said "secure" because Hua Xia was just one of the competitors.

Moreover, there was a strict order from above to get that production line at all costs.

"Relax, it’s okay."

The gentle and kind voice interrupted Jiang Cheng’s thoughts. She turned to look at Teacher Qi and smiled wryly.

"Yes, I’m okay."

Teacher Qi patted Jiang Cheng’s hand, trying to ease her fear of flying for the first time.

After the plane climbed to a certain altitude and gradually leveled off, the flight attendants undid their seatbelts and served breakfast and water to everyone.

Jiang Cheng unbuckled her seatbelt, ate the simple breakfast, and flipped through the documents in her hand.

The other members of the team were doing the same, everyone working hard to perfect their part of the responsibilities.

The flight was dull, but that very dullness signified safety.

After flying for more than ten hours and completing the customs declaration and other procedures, the plane safely landed in the foreign port city of Country M, where they needed to undergo inspection and transit.

The plane’s security check was extremely discriminatory. Fortunately, they had national credentials and were invited, so there was less harassment.

After passing the security check smoothly, they transferred planes to head to their intended city.

By a stroke of coincidence, on the connecting flight, they encountered people from Country H.

Jiang Cheng immediately swapped seats with someone on their team to sit next to the Country H group.

"Hello, we came from Hua Xia."

Jiang Cheng greeted in English, introducing herself, but the person from Country H across from her ignored her arrogantly.

Jiang Cheng pursed her lips, withdrew her hand, flipped open a randomly bought magazine, and rustled through it, expressing her displeasure.

The person from Country H beside her began chatting away.

"People from Hua Xia are so backward."

"I heard they’re still eating dirt to fill their bellies."

"She does look a bit like someone from Country H."

...

The people from Country H continued with their insulting remarks, but Jiang Cheng maintained her displeased expression without any change.
