Chapter 024: I’m Complex Number
In July in Haicheng; the sun was shining fiercely.
The white plane streaked across the sky and descended little by little to land at Dong An International Airport.
Along with the stewardess’s gentle reminder, Qi Yu took off his sleep mask and sat up in the capsule-shaped cabin.
Though he had slept all the way, he still feeling uncomfortable all over.
“Qi Yu, we’re here!” The voice the came from beside him made Qi Yu’s eyebrows jump up. He saw a young man with tattooed arms, who had gotten up one step ahead of him, take their carry-on luggage from the overhead bins and look excitedly out the window.
“I haven’t returned to China for years! I have no idea how the great rivers and mountains of our homeland have changed already!”
The person speaking wasn’t some stranger. Rather, it was Meng Wen Hui, whom he had last seen at Uncle Meng’s house during the Chinese New Year.
It has been many, many years since Uncle Meng made a living away from home in the United States. He had friends on both sides of the road.
Before returning to China this time, because Qi Yu had told Qi Yuancheng about Zhang Cheng Xuan, Qi Yuancheng grew worried for his safety and couldn’t rest assured. He asked the Meng family to recommended a couple of trusted Chinese bodyguards.
When Uncle Meng learned that Qi Yu was going to return to China to help Qi Yuancheng with the business, he too got the idea to have Meng Wenhui go with him to gain some experience. Incidentally, he could also be around to protect Qi Yu. Although Meng Wenhui didn’t study well and was the type to muddle along, because Uncle Meng believed that it was always better to have more skills, he had been forced to practice Yong Chun for several years since he was young. His “fighting” ability was still quite good.
Qi Yu had no choice but to take this ” tuoyouping ” with him. Fortunately, Meng Wenhui wasn’t a hypocritical brother like Si Hang. The two had a friendship from when they were both young and Meng Wenhui admired Qi Yu from the bottom of his heart.
The two got out of the plane first and headed to the gate.
“Wow, there are so many people in Haicheng! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people in my life!” Meng Wenhui had been grounded at home by his father for more than half a year. This time, returning to China, he was like an excitable wild monkey let out of his cage. He chattered nonstop all along the way.
“Quiet down.” Qi Yu glanced at Meng Wenhui and seeing his gaudy arms, felt another headache coming on.

During the Chinese New Year, they had all been wearing thick clothes so he didn’t see it. Qi Yu also had no idea when this kid got tattoos. The young man originally looked very simple and honest. Now, offset by these tattoos, he appeared to have the markings of a social hooligan.
“Lftf, vbwfralm ulgir jgf rb rilw!”

But this time with him was a 27-year-old girl. With bright eyes and pearly white teeth, she appeared to have a very elegant bearing.
Seeing Qi Yu, Xu Jing happily stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. “I haven’t seen you for almost a year and a half, right? The last time you came back was April last year. It seems that you’ve matured a bit.” Seeing Meng Wenhui behind him, Xu Jing said, “Xiao Meng has also grown a lot.”
They had met several times in the United States before, “Hehe, hello, Xu Ge.” Meng Wenhui greeted Xu Jing, but his eyes were fixed at the girl smiling radiantly beside him, “Who is this beauty? “
Xu Jing introduced, “This is the secretary Chief Qin prepared for Qi Yu, Ms. Cheng, Cheng Lijun.”
Miss Cheng then stepped forward and said respectfully to the obviously much younger Qi Yu, “Hello, President Qi, I am Cheng Lijun from Mei Wei’s Public Relations Department. You can call me Lijun, and Chief Qin has assigned me to you for the next two months. I will your secretary for the next two months. You can just let me know if there is anything you need.”
Meng Wenhui scratched his head. “She’s the secretary, I thought she was Xu Ge’s girlfriend.”
Xu Jing: “……”
Qi Yu was also wondering at first. Having heard what Xu Jing said, he now, understood.
He shook hands with Cheng Lijun, and after getting acquainted for a bit, the four of them got into the car.
Xu Jing asked Meng Wenhui in the car, “Will you also be staying in Haicheng with Qi Yu for two months?”
“That’s right,” Meng Wenhui said with a smile, “I’m here to protect my future brother-in-law.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
Xu Jing: “Protect, future brother-in-law?”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Qi Yu quickly explained his main purpose of coming back this time as well as Qi Yuancheng’s worries. Only then did Xu Jing understand what Meng Wenhui meant by “protection”.
“I was wondering why President Qi had two bodyguards following you this time…”
The two bodyguards who followed him here were in economy class so they weren’t with them for the time being. Xu Jing said that Cheng Lijun had arranged for their pick-up.
“I think my dad’s being a little too nervous.” Qi Yu said, looking out the window.
“Your dad’s concerned about you too.” Xu Jing said with a smile.
Because Qi Yu had come back for work this time, and moreover, he had people with him, it wasn’t convenient for him to stay at home. Xu Jing and Cheng Lijun, after a brief discussion, directly booked them into the Holiday Hotel near Mei Wei’s Haicheng branch.
Xu Jing had chosen a suite for Qi Yu. As soon as he walked in, Qi Yu saw a few cardboard boxes on the rug in front of him.
“What is this?” he asked.
Cheng Lijun explained, “These are some daily necessities and clothes I prepared for you. I heard that you have been living abroad, and you might not brought a lot of things with you for your temporary stay. The clothes inside were directly selected from Mei Wei’s warehouse. Most of them are from ME·WE and E’lite new season collecton. You can wear them if you like them and if you don’t, you can just leave them there.”
Qi Yu let out an “oh”. He thought to himself that this person was quite thoughtful.
He really hadn’t brought any clothes, because he used to take just them directly from Qi Feng’s wardrobe whenever he came back.
After settling down, Xu Jing asked Qi Yu about his plans for the next few days.
“I’ll rest of the next couple of days, get rid of the jet lag. I’ll head to the company next week.” Qi Yu looked at Xu Jing and said, “I want to go home first to see mom and Xiao Feng. Can you lend me your car? “
Cheng Lijun immediately said, “President Qi, would you like to use a car? Where would you like to go? I arrange a car for you in advance.”
Qi Yu was surprised by what she said and Xu Jing, who was about to hand him the keys, took his hand back.
“Hehe, since Xiao Cheng can make arrangements for you, you should let her make the arrangements. The roads in Haicheng are always congested and since you’ve just gotten back, you’re probably not used to driving here.” Xu Jing paused and said, “In addition, the two bodyguards living in room downstairs, Ms. Cheng equipped them with domestic mobile phones. Since your dad is worried about your safety, as much as possible, you should take them with you when you go to unfamiliar places; make the best use of them.”
“All right…” Qi Yu was used to being by himself and given free reign. He was seldom attended to and crowded around by people like this. Add to that being addressed as ' President ' by someone older than him. After just a short time, he was already feeling a little uncomfortable.
“Are you going to your mother’s tonight? Are you free tomorrow night? Let’s have a meal together?” Xu Jing asked with a smile.
“Tomorrow night?” Qi Yu’s eyes averted slightly, “I have something to do tomorrow night. Will the day after tomorrow be okay?”
“Eh? I happen to be going to Yancheng on a business trip the day after tomorrow.” Xu Jing seemed to be a little regretful, but he didn’t take it to heart. “It doesn’t matter. You’re relatively close to Feng Mao here and in any case, you’ll be here for two months. I’ll look for it when I get back.”
“Ok.”
Xu Jing did a hand over to Cheng Lijun, and then said to Qi Yu, “I have some company matters to deal with for a while. If there are any problem that Cheng Lijun can’t handle, call me.”
“Alright, you go on ahead.” Qi Yu agreed. After sending Xu Jing away, he was about to call his mother, but as he was dialing the number, he saw Cheng Lijun still standing quietly by the side.
Qi Yu was a little uncomfortable, and said to her, “I won’t be needing a secretary for the next couple of days. You should go back first. Just come find me when I go to the company later on.”
Cheng Lijun was surprised: “But Chief Qin said…”
Qi Yu suddenly became a little unhappy, “Are you my secretary of Chief Qin’s?”
Cheng Lijun understood and hurriedly changed her words, “I’m sorry, I understood. Then will you save my phone number? Should I arrange the car for you now?”
Qi Yu took her business card. “I won’t be needing it for now. I will contact you if I need it.”
After Cheng Lijun went out, Qi Yu dialed his mother’s phone number. Jiang Ying knew that he had returned to China and she had asked the housekeeper to cook dinner at home. She also told him that Xiao Feng and Ling Ke were both there.
When Qi Yu hung up the phone, he saw an new unread message on WeChat.
F1S: “Did you arrive already?”
Yu: “I just arrived. I’m at the hotel.”
F1S: “Which hotel?”
Yu: “Holiday.”
F1S: “The one along Ming Liu Road?”
Yu: “Yeah.”
F1S: “Then we’re very close now.”
F1S: “Take a good rest and see you tomorrow.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Very close? How close? Why was it that this person always ends their topic oh so casually every time he says something that makes him uneasy?
