Chapter 1428: Driver
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you don't drive it, just leave it at Xi Shan Restaurant and use it as a company car. That way, when you're in the Capital City, there's always a car available."
The two of them continued to walk and browse. Because of Bai Ling's status, her eye for cars was said to be very high. After much consideration, they bought a Toyota Alphard, spending over eight hundred thousand, but after driving it, it felt absolutely worth it.
It's not an extremely luxurious car, but the comfort is good, maybe Bai Ling liked it because of its commanding presence.
Bai Ling was driving, with Ling Zhenfei sitting in the back. Bai Ling said, "No way, if we drive this car in the future, we'll need a chauffeur. Do you think it's right for me to drive while you enjoy the back seat?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "The car's first time was with you, isn't that nice."
Bai Ling said, "Stop talking nonsense. So, where to now?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "It's still early. Drive around as you like, and then let's head to the airport."
Bai Ling drove toward the airport, and on the way, Ling Zhenfei asked, "You're going to the airport to pick up your fiancée, right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, are you feeling jealous?"
Bai Ling laughed, "Why would I be jealous? What's there between you and me? Maybe your fiancée might get jealous seeing you with me."
Hearing what Bai Ling said, Ling Zhenfei realized that Bai Ling had put on a bit of makeup today. Bai Ling never used to wear makeup, she must be taking this seriously.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You put on makeup today, looks like you're well-prepared."
Being discovered that she had makeup on, Bai Ling was slightly pleased and said, "You agreed to marry this so-called princess just because of her status, I don't believe there's any emotion between you two, how long have you known each other anyway?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're right, we haven't known each other for long."
Bai Ling laughed and said, "I knew it, there's no emotional foundation between you two. I bet the princess isn't that good-looking, and seeing me with you, she'd definitely get jealous, and then you'll face the music."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Is everyone so fond of getting jealous?"
Bai Ling said, "Don't think I don't know, women love getting jealous."
Ling Zhenfei didn't speak. Bai Ling had a lot of thoughts, and it seemed like winning an argument with her was not easy.
Just then, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang, it was Jiang Chenglong calling.
Ling Zhenfei answered the call, and Jiang Chenglong's voice came through, "Hello Mr. Ling, may I ask what time you're arriving at the airport?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm on the way to the airport, is there anything urgent?"
Jiang Chenglong said, "The plane lands at eleven fifteen, please make sure you're not late."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I won't be late."
Jiang Chenglong said, "That's good. When you arrive, just drive in from the entrance, the guard is informed."
After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei checked the time, it was just past ten, not yet eleven, so he wasn't in a rush.
With Bai Ling's steady driving, they finally reached the airport. The airport had a main gate for entering the interior, and after confirming his identity, the guard let them in.
Ordinary people couldn't enter, let alone drive in; Ling Zhenfei was indeed enjoying special treatment this time.
Ling Zhenfei was quite happy, it had been a long time since he'd seen Mao Xuejing, and she was also very pleased.
Once inside, someone guided them. After getting out of the car, Ling Zhenfei realized how grand the event was. Regardless of whether Moergawa was a major country, the nation took it seriously.
TV reporters were ready with their cameras, and there were kids lined up to welcome them; it was quite interesting.
Ling Zhenfei once again saw the senior leader, who personally managed the event. The arrival of Mao Xuejing was deemed very important.
"Xiao Ling, you're here. Stand by my side later, alright?"
Ling Zhenfei, flattered, said, "No need for that, Leader. I don't hold any particular status, it's better not to."
The senior leader laughed and said, "What's the harm? You're an outstanding talent, our nation needs people like you. Moreover, this event heavily relied on your efforts.
Even though the Moergawa princess and Foreign Minister are coming, I believe you'll be the one doing the talking in the end."
Ling Zhenfei said," Leader, rest assured, I'll do my utmost to ensure mutual benefits for both parties."
The senior leader nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."
After waiting for a while, news came in that the plane was about to arrive.
The plane was coming from Sydney, which was understandable since Moergawa didn't have aircraft for long-distance flights, so they transferred from Sydney.
Sure enough, a plane appeared overhead, slowly descending with a roar, and finally stopped.
A group of people hurried to welcome them, and after everything was ready, the cabin door slowly opened, and a group of people emerged.
Leading the group, of course, was Mao Xuejing. This time, she wore a lady's suit with a skirt, and a touch of makeup made her look both beautiful and dignified.
Behind her stood Zhang Bin and others, but Ling Zhenfei didn't recognize the rest that much.
Mao Xuejing and her entourage descended amidst applause, and after receiving flowers, the senior leader led Ling Zhenfei forward.
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Mao Xuejing smiled faintly but didn't speak, engaging instead in conversation with the senior leader.
Following a series of formal procedures, the group boarded vehicles and left.
They had specially arranged cars, with Mao Xuejing and Zhang Bin, the senior leader, and Ling Zhenfei sharing one.
The senior leader said, "Knowing the princess and Mr. Ling share a close relationship, I discussed with Mr. Ling yesterday. Although there's a large age gap, I highly appreciate Xiao Ling. He's got ideas and brains, very impressive."
Mao Xuejing laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Ling has greatly aided Moergawa, and he's one of our country's heroes. It's really Mr. Ling's suggestions that I'm on this diplomatic mission to Huaxia shortly after our new Emperor ascended the throne."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Even though we're two countries now, we're of the same origin and share Chinese blood. Our aim should be to ensure the well-being of all Huaxia descendants.
My thought is simple, to ensure everyone benefits. Currently, Moergawa is still quite underdeveloped, so I hope the motherland can lend a helping hand to Moergawa's brothers and sisters."
The senior leader said, "We understand Moergawa's situation, mutual benefits and gains are certain, but we'll need to discuss the specifics. I believe Princess Mao is fully prepared."
Mao Xuejing said, "Of course, I wouldn't have dared come without preparation. Having recently assumed the role of Foreign Minister, my heart was still a little nervous about coming to Huaxia.
