Part III Chapter 32: Overseas Opportunity

sked them to definitely come and watch. 。So on Friday evening, both of them finished their work and rushed to catch the flight back to Beijing. 。By the time they got off the plane, it was almost 10 pm...Song Jingye handed her his phone: "Help me download it and scan with my phone."

Issue direct orders.

Chen Ning had no choice but to take his phone and download, register, and scan to pick up the car for him.

He took his bike and rode straight ahead, Chen Ling following behind. He cycled fast at times and slow at others, while Chen Ling kept her own pace, riding slowly and steadily forward.

Originally riding quite fast, Song Jingye intentionally stopped suddenly, blocking her way. Chen Ling's car slammed on the brakes but couldn't stop in time and bumped into him, almost falling. He propped himself up with his feet, supporting her with one hand and steadying her bike with the other, preventing her from falling.

After she recovered, she looked up and glared at him. Seeing a hint of amusement flash in his eyes, she realized he had been teasing her on purpose

How could she have never noticed this childish side of him before

She mounted her bike again and rode quickly forward, while he didn't go ahead this time but followed leisurely behind her, keeping a one-meter distance. He continued until they parked outside the apartment building at the designated spot. Song Jingye also stopped his bike, got off, and stood beside her.

She was wearing sportswear, he was in a black suit with black pants and short boots, even so, the two of them were very well-dressed and looked great standing together.

Chen Ning didn't know what he wanted to do. For many days before, he had only contacted her on WeChat. Today was the first time he had appeared in front of her since they had dinner that day.

But he seemed fine, glancing down at her for a moment before saying, "Come on, I'll walk you home."

She pointed to the front door of the apartment building: "No, I'm here."

"Okay, I'll leave after you go upstairs."

Chen Ling turned around and strode towards her own apartment door. She was about to enter the building.

, his voice suddenly came from behind: "Linghui."

She turned to look at him, the streetlamp illuminating his head with a brilliance that made her heart skip a beat every time she looked at him. "What is it" she asked.

"You haven't said what you need me to do"

Song Jingye finally found the reason for his gloomy mood in recent days, it was that he hadn't done anything for her yet, and he always felt like he owed her something.

Especially when I see her, I feel even more motivated to do something for her.

He doesn't like the feeling of owing something to someone, yeah, that's right.

Chen Ning stood at the door of her unit, "I'll let you know when I've thought it through. There's nothing you need to do for now."

"Okay, let me know as soon as you've decided. Head upstairs and text me when you get home."

Chen Ning turned on the light as soon as she got home, sent him a message, then stood by the window watching his back disappear.

She had seen his back countless times, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to see it again in the future. She had already applied for a quota from her unit today, proactively applying to go to x country to build a pavilion.

Her idea was simple. Firstly, she had no ties in China and was more suitable than any of her colleagues. Secondly, going to country X was a huge challenge as it involved building a new Chinese pavilion. The superiors had clearly stated that as long as the task was completed successfully, she could be promoted upon returning in a few years and have greater development opportunities in the future.

So she submitted her application and just waited for a reply.

However, she has a high chance of winning. Currently, there is no one in the department who is more suitable than her.

Xu Haichen was a little shocked to hear her proactively apply to build a museum in country X, "Do you know how many years you'll be going for"

"Um."

"Well Although it's said to be 2-4 years now, it could be extended indefinitely if things don't go smoothly. "

"Returning home will be a distant prospect," Xu Haichen didn't know what to say.

Chen Ning laughed, "I know, that's exactly why I applied. The work is there, someone has to do it. Many of our seniors were trained in tough places, if they can do it, why can't I"

"Xu Haochen let out a soft sigh: 'Did you go voluntarily for work If so, I certainly support you. Our work shouldn't be defined by the environment. Besides, after a few years of experience there, you'll definitely return as a whole new person.'"

Chen Ning replied: "It's voluntary. Where we need to go is our original intention, and I haven't forgotten it."

"The approval result should come out in about a month. As far as I know, very few people submitted applications this time from the department, so it's highly likely that you will be sent."

When Xu Haichen finished speaking, he sounded a little reluctant: "If you really go, we won't see each other for several years."

He actually won't stay in China forever. If he has a suitable opportunity, he will also apply to go abroad. So it will probably be difficult to meet up in different corners of the world in the future.

Speaking of this, he felt a tinge of sadness. From university to graduate school and then to work, the two had been practically inseparable.

Chen Ling comforted her back: “Didn’t you say we’d meet at our peak later There will be even more beautiful scenery waiting for us then.”

"Speaking of which, Xu Haoxing smiled confidently and said, "Then you have to work hard."

At this moment, they had just finished their meal and went to the nearby convenience store to buy water. Xu Haocheng went to the shelf to get water, while Chen Ling stayed by his side, waiting. Her gaze swept over the row of sanitary napkins on the shelf, and she suddenly had a strange feeling, but...

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

Until Xu Haichen took the water to pay, she suddenly remembered that her period had already been overdue for 8 days, and she hadn't come on her period yet, which meant it was delayed by 8 days.

She is usually very punctual, at most a day or two off. This discovery struck her like lightning, her face blanched and she stood there frozen, remembering everything from that night, they didn't take any precautions.

"What's wrong" Xu Haichen turned back to find her unusual, and asked with concern.

"It's alright," she forced herself to calm down, not wanting to scare herself first.

On her way back to the office from the convenience store, her forehead was cold but faintly sweating. She was thinking about buying a pregnancy test at home after work.

As soon as she arrived at the office, her leader called out to her: "Chen Ling, go to the conference room."

Also going to the meeting room was the leader in charge of arranging the dispatched personnel. Tao Kaiyan looked at her with eyes full of sympathy.

It should be an interview before going abroad, similar to a job interview.

She was deeply troubled by her delayed menstruation, feeling weak and drained as if her feet were barely touching the ground. She could only distract herself by focusing on getting to the conference room.

Seated before several leaders, her mind gradually cleared.

The leader asked, "Did you submit the application voluntarily"

"Yes."

"Do you know how harsh the conditions are in country x"

"I know."

"Why make such a decision" The leader thought this was important. Chen Ling had investigated all aspects of the hardware conditions and found them to meet the requirements, so this interview was mainly to assess her initiative.

"This is our job responsibility, wherever we need to go. Besides, I come from a poor place, so I have the spirit of hardship in my bones."

Genes, they can adapt to local conditions very quickly. And I also have an advantage in language., Lu Kuò arrived to deliver something to Lu Yaoyao. Seeing Gu Ruǎnruǎn brushing her phone in the living room after just taking a shower, he had a mischievous glint in his eyes. He must have misunderst...
