Chapter 149 Cross-border Love
the next day.
Su Ti went out to work with Rong Shao Ting as usual.
In the car, Su Ti glanced at him several times, her eyes full of surprise.
"Did you... not sleep well last night?"
She asked as she leaned in closer and poked the corner of the man's eye with her fingertips, "Such dark circles."
Rong Shaoting's brows relaxed, "I'm adjusting to the time difference and have some insomnia."
Su Ti seemed to believe it, and reminded her with some heartache, "Then drink less coffee today. If you are not busy, go home early to catch up on your sleep."
The man stared at her delicate and beautiful face.
After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice: "When the list of selected schools comes out, show it to me."
"Yes, I will."
When it comes to choosing a school, Suti couldn't help but mention a few business schools that she was interested in.
Cornell, Duke, Dartmouth...
None of them are in mainland China or Hong Kong Island.
Rong Shaoting's eyes warmed his heart, "Will you enroll next fall?"
By this calculation, there is still more than half a year left.
Just thinking about it.
Su Ti pursed her lips and said something surprising, "I will enroll in the fall, but... I may leave after the New Year. I want to take language classes first."
Although she has a good foundation in English.
But after all, the language environment at home and abroad is different.
Suti hadn't been to school for a long time and was worried that she wouldn't be able to keep up if she enrolled directly.
So I am considering going to a language school first to improve my basics and adapt to the foreign classroom atmosphere.
In this way, Suti's further study journey may last as short as one and a half years or as long as two years.
Rong Shaoting curled his lips lightly and whispered, "It's good to adapt in advance."
Ultimately, nothing could stop her from pursuing her studies.
Among these factors, there is also the factor of reluctance.
The real worry deep in the man's heart is... Su Ti is still young, and whether she is firm enough in her feelings.
After all, campus is different from the complex and sophisticated workplace.
Energetic students and an environment full of the sound of reading.
The people she would meet, the things she would experience, would be very different from what they are now, and he would be absent.
Cross-border love is a battle between time and reality.
Is the romance between them that has lasted for several months really deep enough to fill the distance between them?
Before Rong Shaoting could come up with an answer, Hengyue Building was already in sight.
Suti said goodbye to the man with a smile.
As he got off the car and turned around, the smile on Suti's face gradually disappeared.
She knew that Rong Shaoting did not return to his room last night.
The jet lag was actually an excuse, and she understood it.
Su Ti felt mixed emotions.
Looking back at the business car going away, his eyes were filled with emotions.
Rong Shaoting, although he didn't say it directly, he must have hoped that she would go to HKU.
but……
As the girlfriend of Mr. Rong from Hong Kong, if she were to study at the University of Hong Kong, how many people, including those relatives of the Rong family who already had complaints about her, would believe that she applied for admission based on her own abilities?
I'm afraid they would rather believe that it was Rong Shaoting who spent a large sum of money to send her in.
Therefore, Suti had crossed out the option of studying in Hong Kong Island last night.
Rather than facing all kinds of groundless criticism, she would rather go abroad with a down-to-earth attitude.
And she is confident that she can complete her studies in the shortest time possible.
Don't keep each other away for too long.
……
office.
Suti finished the morning meeting.
Tell Pei Ying truthfully about going abroad next year.
Pei Ying was surprised at first, then her face turned a little unhappy, "How are you going to deal with the company?"
What is the difference between this and what Su Wen did when he sold the company?
They all walked away irresponsibly during the rising period.
Su Ti noticed Pei Ying's displeasure and immediately spoke in a crisp voice.
"What are you dealing with? I still have you. Although I can't work every day, I can definitely make time to have a video conference with you. I will not be absent from the company's operations."
Pei Ying was skeptical, "How long will you be gone?"
"About one and a half years, definitely no more than two years. It depends on the academic system of the school you are applying to."
Some schools have a one-year term, while others have a one-and-a-half-year term.
Plus she went out to study language in advance, two years would definitely be enough. Pei Ying felt a little relieved after listening to Su Ti's explanation.
"Then I look forward to your return after completing your studies. But let me make it clear in advance that you can't just sit back and do nothing about the company's affairs. Let's keep in touch."
"Sure. Pinky promise."
Pei Ying couldn't help laughing.
After chatting, Pei Ying mentioned going to the coffee planting base in Yunnan Province to help farmers.
"Since you are preparing to apply to go abroad, don't go to the countryside to help farmers. I will lead the team there myself."
Su Ti thought for a few seconds and declined her proposal, "I can go. It's only a week's work. It won't delay anything."
Pei Ying: "Okay, we'll leave in three days. I'll have someone book the tickets."
By the afternoon.
Su Ti suddenly received a WeChat message.
She was surprised to see the sender.
Tong Wei.
The specialist who once took over her position at Yitong Internet.
Before Su Ti replied, she called the manager of the Science Park store.
"Mr. Su."
Su Ti played with the pen in her hand and asked, "Is Tong Wei still working part-time in the store recently?"
The store manager replied, "Yes, she comes every day. She was promoted to assistant barista last month. What's wrong, Mr. Su?"
"It's okay. I'm just asking. You continue to be busy."
hang up the phone.
Su Ti replied to Tong Wei’s WeChat message.
In less than half an hour, Tong Wei arrived at Hengyue Building carrying a cloth bag.
"Mr. Su."
In the conference room, Tong Wei took his seat with a slightly reserved demeanor.
Su Ti poured her a glass of water, "Are you here from the company?"
Tong Wei nodded, "Well, I asked for leave this afternoon."
Su Ti: "What's the matter with you looking for me?"
Tong Wei put his cloth bag on his legs and explained his purpose awkwardly.
After listening, Su Ti smiled and said, "Yunnan Province's agricultural assistance is a public welfare project, and no one needs to pay for it. Do you want to go too?"
Su Ti remembered that Tong Wei was also from Yunnan Province.
If she wanted to go with the team, she could act as a "tour guide".
I wonder if she can take a week-long vacation from Yitong Internet.
at this time.
Tong Wei slowly placed the cloth bag on his lap on the table and spoke hesitantly.
"Mr. Su, what I mean is...if farmers want to apply for assistance, how much money do they need to pay?"
Su Ti looked at Budou, a little surprised, "You..."
Tong Wei was afraid of causing Su Ti's misunderstanding, so he quickly opened the cloth bag, revealing three bottles and jars inside.
They are three different kinds of coffee beans.
"Mr. Su, these are the coffee beans my family grows. I heard from the store manager about this farmer-aiding activity, so I took the liberty to come to you and want to apply for an assistance opportunity for my family."
Just ten minutes.
Su Ti learned about her family situation from Tong Wei.
The coffee farmer's family has an annual income of less than 2 yuan, and they have to support their two younger siblings in school.
Due to the remote location of the mountains, I was unable to join the cooperative.
The coffee beans from coffee farmers are often purchased at a low price.
In Tong Wei’s own words, those who grow coffee beans cannot even afford a cup of coffee.
Su Ti and Tong Wei chatted for more than an hour.
Suddenly a plan came to his mind, and he called Pei Ying.
After some discussion, the three decided to let Tong Wei take leave and go to Yunnan Province.
After she leaves.
Pei Ying looked at the list in her hand and shook her head, saying, "It's not easy. The mountainous area where her family lives is not on the list of farmers to be helped this time."
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not on the official list.”
Suti held up her chin and suggested, "After the event is over, let's go to her village to take a look. Anyway, the factory has to collect beans every year. As long as the quality is good, it doesn't matter whose beans we collect from."
Pei Ying jokingly agreed, "That's an idea, but Tong Wei is quite courageous to come to me directly."
Su Ti smiled and said nothing.
She admired Tong Wei's simple and self-reliant qualities from the beginning when they met.
This time, helping the farmers is within her ability, so it’s no big deal to lend a helping hand.
