After hanging up the phone, Guan Ping told Xia Ruofei about his decision to let Manager Liu off the hook. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't have any objections. This time, he was just helping Guan Ping vent his anger. Otherwise, Guan Ping could just resign directly. It wouldn't affect him at all.
Soon, Liang Weimin called Xia Ruofei and told him about the situation with Manager Liu and Bai Jingjing.
Xia Ruofei naturally expressed his sincere gratitude. At the same time, he also said that Manager Liu was an accomplice and that he could resign voluntarily. As for being banned from the industry, it would be fine.
Liang Weimin naturally agreed. As for Bai Jingjing, who Xia Ruofei didn't even mention at all, Liang Weimin naturally knew what to do.
After a while, the car drove to the neighborhood where Pang Hao's house was.
Pang Hao's parents were already waiting downstairs. When they saw Pang Hao so drunk, they couldn't help but complain a little. However, Xia Ruofei and Pang Hao were good friends, and at the same time, Pang Hao's boss. They didn't want to blame Xia Ruofei.
However, Xia Ruofei was a little embarrassed and apologized to Pang Hao's parents. After all, the three of them went out to drink and Pang Hao was the only one who got drunk. Pang Hao's parents would inevitably misunderstand.
Fortunately, Pang Hao's parents knew about the relationship between the three of them. In addition, it was the New Year, so they naturally didn't say anything. They just took Pang Hao from Ye Linyun and supported him. They even invited them upstairs to sit.
Xia Ruofei and the others naturally declined. After watching Pang Hao's family enter the elevator, they got in the car and left.
Then, Xia Ruofei asked Ye Linyun to drive Guan Ping home.
At the entrance of Guan Ping's neighborhood, Xia Ruofei said to Guan Ping, "Ping, you should rest well at home these few days and calm yourself down. After Chinese New Year, resign your job first. I'll talk to Vanguard Real Estate. They definitely won't make things difficult for you. After you submit your resignation letter, you can directly report to my company. I'll arrange it in advance. When the time comes, just look for Pang Hao."
"Okay!" Guan Ping nodded and said, "Ruofei, you don't have to arrange any position for me. I'll start as an ordinary employee!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I have my own plans. You don't have to worry about it! Alright, it's getting late, let's go in! It's time for me to go back! "
After that, Xia Ruofei got into the car and gestured for Ye Linyun to drive.
Guan Ping watched as Knight XV walked away. Then, he turned around and walked back into the neighborhood.
…
Fifth day of the first lunar month, Sanshan Airport.
Xia Ruofei was wearing a low-key casual outfit and a pair of Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses. He dragged a simple suitcase out of the car.
He rejected Ye Linyun's offer to help him carry his luggage and said with a smile, "Linyun, you can drop me off here! This is a temporary parking area. If you park here for too long, you'll be photographed. Just go back to the farm. "
"Alright, Brother Xia, I'll be leaving then!" Ye Linyun nodded and said.
"Alright, call me if anything happens at the company," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He waved his hand at Ye Linyun, then dragged his small suitcase into the domestic departure hall.
Today's journey was smooth. There was still some time before boarding time, so Xia Ruofei found a bench to sit down and rest for a while.
He was a little excited. Two days ago, he contacted Song Wei and the two of them agreed to go to Xiangnan to explore the ancient tomb where Song Wei was poisoned.
Xia Ruofei knew that there was a high possibility that there was a World Stone in that ancient tomb, so he was filled with anticipation for this trip. The Spiritual Map's space had not leveled up for a long time. At its current scale, devouring jadeite would consume a huge amount of jadeite every time it leveled up. Even if Xia Ruofei was rich now, he could not afford it.
Even if Xia Ruofei had enough money to buy jade, jade was formed after countless years of changes in the earth's crust. It was a non-renewable resource. It wasn't realistic to rely solely on jade to upgrade the space. The amount of jade that could be bought on the market was limited.
Moreover, if he continued to buy large amounts of jade over a long period of time, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the best way to upgrade the space was to find boundary stones. Not only was it efficient, but it also wouldn't attract attention.
However, the existence of boundary stones didn't follow any rules. Even if Xia Qing had carved a sensing formation for Xia Ruofei, it would only react within a few kilometers. Compared to the vast world, this was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, a definite clue about boundary stones like the ancient tomb was very valuable. Xia Ruofei had to grab hold of it no matter what.
In order to not attract attention, Xia Ruofei only told his friends and even Ling Qingxue that he was going to inspect a project in another place. He even booked the plane ticket himself. Even Ye Lingyun, who had sent him to the airport, didn't know where he was going, let alone that he would be traveling with Song Wei.
Xia Ruofei sat on the long bench for a while. Then, he received a WeChat message from Song Wei on his phone. "I've already gotten off the car. Have you arrived?"
Xia Ruofei immediately replied. "I'm at the departure hall. I haven't checked in yet. I'm waiting for you!"
He raised his head and looked at the departure hall entrance. Through the glass door, he saw Song Wei getting out of a black car.
Song Wei also refused the driver's help with his luggage. He took out his boarding box from the trunk and sent the driver back.
Song Wei dragged her suitcase and walked into the domestic port departure hall. She immediately looked around.
Xia Ruofei sent a WeChat message to him. "I'm at your three o 'clock."
Song Wei immediately looked to the right and quickly found Xia Ruofei. She dragged her luggage and walked over.
The two of them didn't greet each other very familiarly. Song Wei directly sat down next to Xia Ruofei, like an underground gang meeting.
Although the probability of meeting acquaintances at the airport was very low, the two of them tried to keep a low profile.
Xia Ruofei flipped through a magazine and said to Song Wei, "Give me your ID. I'll get my boarding pass done first."
"Okay!" Song Wei quickly handed his ID to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei took it without a trace. He stood up and tidied his clothes. Then, he walked to the check-in counter slowly.
Soon, he got his boarding pass done. The two of them didn't have any large luggage to check in, so the procedures were naturally very fast.
Xia Ruofei looked back and saw that Song Wei had already dragged his luggage and walked in the direction of the security check.
So, he also walked over. When the two of them passed by each other, Xia Ruofei accurately stuffed his boarding pass and ID into Song Wei's hands.
The two of them found two different security checkpoints, lined up, passed through the security check, and entered the departure hall.
Compared to the bustling hall outside, there were much fewer people in the departure hall. The two of them naturally walked together.
Xia Ruofei and Song Wei showed their first-class boarding passes at the door of Heron Island Airlines' VIP lounge and went directly into the VIP lounge with fewer people.
The VIP lounge was very quiet, and all the seats were placed randomly. There were also some bonsai and screens to separate them from each other. The privacy was quite good.
The two of them found two leather seats next to each other and sat down. Then, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
"We're kind of like a spy movie!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Song Wei couldn't help but smile and say, "Isn't it all to help you run errands? This is the first time I've lied to my parents! "
Song Wei naturally didn't dare to tell her parents that she wanted to return to the ancient tomb. Otherwise, Song Qiming would definitely lock her up at home without hesitation and send people to watch over her.
Last time, Song Wei was poisoned, and her whole family was scared out of their wits. If they hadn't met the miraculous Xia Ruofei, Song Wei would have died.
Now, Song Qiming and his wife didn't even support Song Wei's participation in some of the normal outdoor archaeology activities organized by the school, let alone Song Wei's desire to explore the terrifying ancient tomb again.
So, Song Wei told her parents that she would travel to other places to relax while there were still a few days left during the holidays.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to take the risk with me. You just need to tell me the location of the ancient tomb and some of the specific situations inside."
Song Wei snorted softly, raised her head and said, "You want to get rid of me? No way! "
"Hehe …" Xia Ruofei smiled and didn't say anything.
Song Wei said with some vigilance, "Ruofei, when we get there, you can't leave me behind and go in alone! Otherwise, I'll really cut ties with you! "
Until now, Song Wei hadn't told Xia Ruofei the specific location of the ancient tomb. He just asked him to buy a ticket to Xiangnan Province's capital, Tanzhou City.
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Do I look like a dishonest person?"
"That's hard to say …" Song Wei chuckled and said, "Anyway, I want to go in with you!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "But you have to promise me that once you enter the ancient tomb, you must listen to my orders. Don't act recklessly. In addition to the poison, there may be other risks."
"No problem!" Song Wei agreed readily.
The two of them sat and chatted for a while in the VIP lounge. Then, the announcement that their flight had started boarding sounded. The VIP lounge was a little earlier than the economy class passengers.
The two of them quickly boarded the plane through the covered bridge. Under the guidance of the beautiful first-class flight attendant, they came to the first-class area at the front of the cabin and found their seats.
After putting the luggage away, Xia Ruofei put on his headphones and began to listen to music. His eyes looked out of the oval porthole, and his mind had already flown to Xiangnan Province.
Song Wei sat in the aisle seat. This was also her own request. Every time she took a plane, she didn't sit by the window.
Song Wei leaned against the back of the soft first-class seat. She turned her head slightly and looked at Xia Ruofei's profile. Her beautiful eyes revealed a strange brilliance.
It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid of entering the ancient tomb again. However, at this moment, Song Wei was more excited than nervous. She and Xia Ruofei secretly flew to another place without telling all their family and friends. This gave Song Wei a feeling of excitement.
After all the passengers boarded, the flight attendant closed the cabin door.
After waiting for a while, the plane trembled slightly and was slowly pushed back by the tractor.
After arriving on the taxiway, Xia Ruofei saw through the porthole that the tractor was far away from the plane. The ground crew showed the pilot the latch in their hands and then waved their hands.
Xia Ruofei immediately felt the plane tremble slightly and began to move forward.
After a taxiway, they crossed another runway. Finally, the plane stopped at the take-off position of another runway.
After a short pause, the plane began to accelerate.
At this time, the engine had been adjusted to the take-off thrust. Xia Ruofei could clearly feel the pushback, indicating that the plane's acceleration was very large.
Soon, the plane rose lightly into the air and drew a perfect arc in the sky.
The two-hour flight was neither long nor short. Fortunately, the first-class experience was very comfortable. Moreover, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei had a lot in common. The two chatted all the way and felt that they had a deeper understanding of each other.
At noon, the flight of Heron Island Airlines finally landed smoothly at Huanghua International Airport in Tanzhou.
Coming to an unfamiliar place, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei didn't have to hide from others. They dragged their suitcases and walked out of the domestic departure hall of Huanghua International Airport side by side.
Breathing in the air of Xiangnan Province, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Song Wei, can you tell me where the destination of this trip is now?"
Song Wei pursed his lips and said with a smile, "There's no hurry. Let's take a taxi to the hotel first. We'll rest for half a day today and visit the scenic spots of Tanzhou. We'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said with a wry smile, "You're really tight-lipped!"
Song Wei chuckled and said, "Of course, such an important thing has to be kept secret! Otherwise, what if you sneak away tonight? "
"Okay …" Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The two of them stood on the side of the road and prepared to take a taxi to the hotel they had booked in advance.
Just as Xia Ruofei and Song Wei walked out of the airport departure hall, both sides of the airport's VIP passageway were full of police forces. There were uniformed police officers and plainclothes police officers.
A group of people walked out of the VIP passageway, surrounded by the crowd. It was the head of Xiangnan Province, Song Rui's father, Song Zhengping.
Since he was promoted to the head, Song Zhengping had been even busier. During important holidays like the Spring Festival, as the secretary, he had to stay in Xiangnan Province. On New Year's Eve, he had to go to the frontline personnel who were guarding their posts. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he began to visit his old comrades and so on.
He had been busy until yesterday, when he finally took a day to return to the capital to pay his New Year's greetings to his father and gather with his relatives and friends.
After a day, Song Zhengping hurried back to Xiangnan Province with his secretary.
The people who accompanied him out of the VIP passageway, except for his secretary, were all sent by the Provincial Party Committee to pick him up.
As the head of Xiangnan Province, Song Zhengping's security level was also very high.
Everyone escorted Song Zhengping out of the hall and into a black car with a red flag parked at the entrance. The security personnel and the pick-up personnel also got into the car. A small motorcade slowly started and drove in the direction of the Provincial Party Committee.
