In less than 5 minutes, Shi Jiangyuan and Qiu Shiming had finished their conversation and hung up the phone.
Kang Ying had already roughly guessed from the conversation he had on the phone that it really was two skyscrapers cutting the decorations, so she asked Shi Jiangyuan:
"When are we supposed to go?"
"It's a plane in the morning the day after tomorrow. I'm already trying to stall for time, so why don't he tell us to go there tomorrow? I know you didn't like the company, so you put it off for a day. " Shi Jiangyuan said.
"Then do we have to reveal our true identities?" Kang Ying said in embarrassment.
Shi Jiangyuan smiled and said, "I won't be exposed."
He knew what his wife meant when she said that they were exposed to the public, such as conducting a ribbon cutting ceremony, speaking on stage, and so on.
This would make Kang Ying feel that her privacy had been exposed, and she was not used to it.
Buying Hildeau Hotel in the United States was different. Although Kang Ying had made a name for herself at the time, even if Hildeau Hotel were to be reported in the most popular newspaper in the United States, it still wouldn't be able to reach the country. And abroad, foreigners generally cannot tell the difference between the Asian man and the Asian man's face.
Shi Jiangyuan followed her tone and said, "That won't happen, don't worry, we will just be guests at the wedding. I also clearly expressed this attitude to Qiu Shiming."
"Alright then." Kang Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
If Qiu Shiming wanted to push them to the front of the stage, it would be hard to refuse. After all, she and Shi Jiangyuan were the actual owners of the two buildings, and Qiu Shiming had a thousand reasons to push them to the front.
Fortunately, he was still a classmate after all. Qiu Shiming understood Shi Jiangyuan's difficulties and his reluctance to show off his wealth, making it difficult for him to become the host of this event.
After discussing this matter, Kang Ying wandered around the room for a bit and then asked, "Aren't you going to pack your luggage?"
"Tidy up what?" Kang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let's just bring two sets of underwear and the clothes we wear on the outside. Don't we still have the rest at home in Shanghai?"
Shi Jiangyuan said, "I don't know if Nanny helped us clean it up. It's been almost a year since we last went. If we leave the clothes there, will they get moldy?"
Kang Ying said, "Then I'll call her and ask her to help us wash our clothes and clean up our room."
"What about the dress for the ribbon cutting ceremony?" Shi Jiangyuan asked after some thought.
He couldn't just go to Lu County's tailor shop and have someone make two sets, right?
Thinking about this possibility, Shi Jiangyuan also laughed happily. Imagine, if they were to go to Lu County's tailor shop, the dresses they would make would definitely be suits with big lapels and bright red ties. The cuffs of the suits would definitely be sewn with an armband from who knows where.
This was the current fashion in Lu County.
Kang Ying also seemed to understand why Shi Jiangyuan was laughing. She couldn't help but smile as she imagined herself and Shi Jiangyuan in a rustic dress.
It was likely that Lu County's tailor would give her a full set of leggings, which were adorned with colorful large cotton-padded jackets.
Kang Ying said, "Don't laugh anymore. Let's go directly to Shanghai to buy some more."
"Alright." Shi Jiangyuan nodded. There was no mistake in Shanghai. No matter what era it was, Shanghai was the vanguard of the era.
The two of them agreed on the matter and left it at the back of their minds.
At this time, the sound of a Chongqing woman's motorcycle came from outside the house. Kang Ying heard it and said,
"Teacher Zhong, we're here."
Just as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman in her forties entered the room. She wore a bun, glasses, and a solemn expression. She wore a thick white cotton dress. As she entered, she breathed on her opponent's breath.
Kang Ying quickly said, "Teacher Zhong, I've already told you a few times. I'll get the driver to pick you up. It's so cold, and it's freezing."
Teacher Zhong smiled. "It's fine. I can ride my motorcycle very quickly. It won't take 20 minutes to get there."
Teacher Zhong was Kang Ying's zither teacher. Since she had nothing better to do, Kang Ying wanted to learn some new skills, such as violins or pianos. For the time being, she didn't feel anything, but she felt that playing a zither with an ancient charm, coupled with Shi Jiangyuan's calligraphy, wouldn't that feel like she was playing a beautiful dream?
Kang Ying asked around and found this Teacher Zhong at Lu County.
Teacher Zhong had graduated from the Music Department of Qu Jiang Master University and was currently teaching music at Lu County First High School. In university, she majored in vocal music, and even though the zither was her hobby, she had dedicated all of her energy to it.
In Lu County, many children who wished to learn the zither would come under her tutelage. Kang Ying did not seek further connections with her and simply personally paid a visit to express her sincerity.
When Teacher Zhong found out that this humble, gentle, and low-key, beautiful woman was actually the founder of Friendship Super Mall, she had a good impression of Kang Ying.
Kang Ying did not bully others with her power. Since she was able to run such a large shopping mall, they must have a good social relationship. However, she did not specially invite nobles to come and beat her to it.
Thus, Teacher Zhong happily accepted Kang Ying, who was an older student, as she came here once a week to teach her.
Kang Ying had mentioned from the beginning that she would send a car to pick up Teacher Zhong, but she felt that this would be too troublesome and stubbornly refused. It was the same even with Dong Tianleng.
Kang Ying quickly poured a large cup of hot tea for her to warm her hands and warm her body.
It was a good thing that the heating feet were in the room. After sitting in the room for a while, Teacher Zhong's body warmed up and his fingers became soft and agile, suitable for teaching.
Kang Ying said, "Teacher Zhong, why don't you learn to drive and buy a car? It would be more convenient for you to go out."
Teacher Zhong laughed. "I'm a bit old and I'm already in my fourth year. I'm not young at all. Is it alright for me to learn to drive now?" Moreover, there are very few women driving cars these days. Most importantly, I feel that there isn't any big use in buying a car. It would be a burden to leave it at home, and it would require a lot of money to raise a car every year. "
"That's what people who haven't bought a car always think before they buy one, but when they do, you find that having a car makes life a lot more convenient, and the radius of movement is wider, like adding wings to a tiger.
Kang Ying's words made Teacher Zhong's heart beat faster.
Kang Ying asked again, "How old are you? If I didn't know your real age, I would have thought you were only in your early thirties. Don't even mention driving without a girl, I often drive by myself when I'm out. "
"Oh, you can drive, too? I thought it was the driver driving for you. " Teacher Zhong asked in surprise.
"Yeah, if it's short, then I'll drive it myself. I've also been driving for a few years now."
Kang Ying said in a slightly smug tone.
When Teacher Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but smile. "Alright! I'll think about it. I'll go and apply for a driving school later."
"I know a master of the driving school. If you want to apply, I will help you introduce one. It will be reliable, and good technique." Kang Ying said.
At this point, Teacher Zhong was not being unreasonable and happily accepted the gift.
