Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Island Nation Business Trip

George’s expression was inexplicably strange, "Miss Jiayi, early this morning, Samuel called to inform you that you don’t need to go to the company today. Head to the airport instead."

"The airport?" Jiayi was surprised, "What for? Why didn’t President Gu inform me directly?"

"It was too early, you hadn’t gotten up yet and your phone was turned off, so he notified me instead. Once you arrive at the airport, President Gu will call you directly to assign your work tasks. It sounds like you’ll be going on a business trip."

A business trip?

Her position was as an office assistant in the marketing department, how could she suddenly be sent on a business trip?

She wasn’t prepared at all, how could she go on a business trip? Where to?

But since Samuel had given notice, she could only follow her superior’s instructions and head to the airport first.

The car drove along the clear morning roads and by nine o’clock, they arrived at G City’s Tianyun Airport.

This was the largest international airport among several coastal cities, inside and out, thronging people moved in an orderly chaos. Airport shuttles and taxis shuttled back and forth at the entrance.

Soon after she got off the car, Samuel’s call indeed came through.

"Have you arrived?"

"Yes, President Gu," Jiayi quickly cradled the phone and found a quiet area.

"Ok, go into the airport, someone will give you your plane ticket, passport, and some other documents needed for going abroad. Everything’s been prepared for you, just take them and board the plane at ten. After you arrive on Suwang Island, someone will pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel to settle in first."

Suwang Island?

Wasn’t that an Island Nation in Southeast Asia?

A business trip abroad? And all by herself?

"Hold on, President Gu, I’m not clear about anything... What am I supposed to do there? Do I need to meet clients? I’m not prepared at all; I haven’t even brought my basic luggage," Jiayi grew nervous.

"No problem, it’s not a very complicated matter. It’s quite common for marketing department staff to go abroad on business trips, and it’s time for you to get some experience. As for your luggage, the person I sent will have prepared it for you." Samuel’s voice was smiling, his usual gentleness carried a reassuring strength.

After hanging up the phone, Jiayi could only go to the departure hall.

A man in a sharp suit was holding a trolley suitcase. When he saw Jiayi, he approached her, handed her the documents, and explained, "Miss Luo, the suitcase contains brand-new clothes and essential items President Gu has prepared for you, I’ll take it to be checked in a moment."

After completing the check-in and getting her boarding pass, Jiayi boarded the flight to Suwang Island.

After takeoff, the plane stabilized and soared above the sea of clouds.

Gazing out of the window at the cotton candy clouds, Jiayi’s mood gradually calmed down. She reclined her seat, comfortably leaning back, and put on the eye mask handed to her by the considerate flight attendant.

Leaving G City for a while was good, too.

Ever since he uttered those words a few days ago, she still didn’t dare to face him directly.

Luckily, headquarters was busy these days, and he hadn’t returned here, mainly staying at another apartment next to the headquarters.

When he occasionally came back, she would use the excuse that her foot injury still hadn’t healed and that it was inconvenient to go downstairs, trying her best to avoid seeing him.

So, during these days, they hadn’t seen much of each other, allowing her to avoid some of the awkwardness she felt when looking at him.

Perhaps, by the time she returned to G City, he would have thought things through and those words from a few days ago were just impulsive, right?

How could a man like him really settle for a future with only her?

Among the women in his past, she lacked a family background, and even the identity that ordinary people possess, hers was a blank slate.

The man probably just got caught up in the moment, seeking a thrill, that’s all.

The direct flight from G City to Suwang Island takes only about four hours.

Just past noon, Jiayi was standing on the land of this globally renowned Island Nation in Southeast Asia, luggage in hand.

Outside the airport, a person in charge of the Huo Group’s local branch on Suwang Island was already holding a sign, having waited for quite some time.

Jiayi spotted her name and quickly walked over.

The person in charge of the branch was a middle-aged uncle who looked a bit simple and honest. He was a native of Suwang Island, named Charlie, and with a potbelly that made him look very amiable. He smiled, introduced himself briefly, took Jiayi’s suitcase, and drove her to a hotel in the city center.

After checking into the hotel and having everything arranged, Jiayi asked, "Charlie, do I have any specific tasks on this trip? Did President Gu give you any instructions?"

Charlie still smiled warmly and politely said, "Miss Luo is too dedicated. There’s no need to rush. You should rest for a day, enjoy yourself on Suwang Island, and I’ll come over tomorrow morning."

Jiayi could only nod as Charlie said a few more words and then left the hotel.

The hotel room was a business suite on the forty-sixth floor.

Standing on the balcony, one could almost have a bird’s eye view of the entire panorama of Suwang Island.

Below, the island nation glimmered like a luminous crescent.

In the distance, there was the boundless deep blue sea.

Jiayi rested her hands on the balcony’s carved railing and took a deep breath of the island’s unique humid and warm air, letting her mood completely relax.

All the discomfort and gloominess accumulated over the past days seemed to vanish in an instant.

After organizing her luggage, it was approaching evening.

Since she had eaten on the plane and wasn’t hungry, Jiayi took a shower, changed into a Bohemian-style floral maxi dress popular in Southeast Asian countries, put on a pair of flip-flops, a sun hat and sunglasses, and shouldered a small crossbody bag before heading downstairs.

After asking the front desk for a map, Jiayi left the hotel.

Suwang Island is a well-known tourist destination and, with the fervor and wildness of an island nation, was still bustling and brightly lit even at night.

The official language here was English, and Jiayi’s English skills were very good. She strolled through the night market, occasionally stopping at stalls to bargain fluently with the vendors.

Though she couldn’t remember her past, she realized that she must have learned quite a few skills.

So far, she knew English, driving, and even niche skills like flower arrangement, which is how she identified the species of Huo Tianpei’s orchid and accidentally won the favor of the old man of the Huo Family.

Fortunately, even though she had forgotten her background, she hadn’t forgotten these skills.

"Beautiful lady, I really can’t lower the price anymore. Seeing that you’re so pretty and a foreign tourist, I’ll sell it to you for fifty US dollars!"

As she was browsing, Jiayi stopped. The vendor was a lean and dark-skinned young man, smiling as he did business.

Jiayi glanced at the small crystal ball in her hand, which contained a very realistic miniature model of Suwang Island, which she instantly liked. She wanted to buy it as a gift for Tang En’en; that guy would definitely love it.

But the boss, seeing she was a foreigner, quoted a high price. Even after bargaining, the price remained steep.

Jiayi shook her head and said in English, "Fifty US dollars is too expensive, never mind," and put down the crystal ball.

It was just a little plastic product that wouldn’t even cost ten yuan in her own country. This boss was trying to rip her off, assuming she was a lone tourist.
