Chapter 196 Take care of yourself.
Nangong asks for exactly what Asher is worried about, Asher stands outside Mia’s office door, listening to one of Mia’s sighs and just feels his heart being crushed, it turns out that loving someone you’re not only happy for their happiness, you’re also worried about her worries.
Asher didn’t listen to the conversation that followed and turned to walk quietly away from the office door, it seemed necessary for him to complete his mission, he had to make a trip to America to see the grandfather that Mia had been hanging on to.
Asher drove to Jun’s group after he left Centurion.
“Prepare five tickets to the United States for tomorrow, and you’ll be leaving at noon tomorrow.”
Asher gave a serious order to his secretary; this go-around could be the key to solving the problem.
“You said you were going to America?”
Claude has reverted to his old unruly Claude self since Asher and Mia’s peaceful return to China, and now this one is sunbathing on the couch.
“Yes, you’re going too.” Without looking at Claude, Asher fingered the thick pile of papers to his right as he graded them.
“These are yours, approved today, because this trip will be three or five days, and my dad has been asked to sit on the company for now, so we’ll try to get there and back early.”
Asher looked at the paper with a single glance, completely ignoring Claude who was about to freak out on the sidelines.
“I thought you got help, why do you need me to approve papers?” Claude looked at Asher with a disgruntled look on his face, angry protest in his eyes.
“The protest is invalid, and you know it, my dad he hasn’t managed the company for years, as for having him here just so we can have a recipe for the big critical things and not get played by someone with a heart, you don’t expect to get his old man to help you approve papers do you?”
Asher put down the file in his hand and glared at Claude.
“Okay, okay, I’m afraid of you, I’ll grant it, it’s just that Mia knows you’re going to America, right?” Claude got up from the couch and took a look at the amount of work he had done overnight and grimaced, sure enough people in love were crazy people.
“I don’t know, don’t tell her, I was going to go straight to meet Leng Tianming.”
“Well, I won’t say anything then, just wait, the paperwork will be approved by noon tomorrow, I’ll be back in my office.”
As he watched Claude leave the office with the papers, Asher thought to himself, Mia , wait for me, wait for me to come back with good news.
Asher decided to go to America and stayed at the office all day grading papers, and Claude spent the whole day at the office thanks to him. In the face of Claude’s complaints, Asher is always guided by a four-word rule: “Protest not valid.”
Asher returned home late in the evening and Mia waited with bated breath until Asher returned before she would rest.
“Mia , you don’t have to wait for me all the time, just get some early rest.” Asher said as he removed his jacket to Mia who had just walked in the door with a bowl of late night snacks.
“Nnnn, got it, you eat this bowl of snack first, you must be exhausted after a busy day, right?”
Mia sat beside Asher good-naturedly, trying to watch him eat one bite at a time.
“Oh, yeah, I’ll eat.” A happy smile spread across Asher’s face. When he thought of the despondent Mia at the office during the day, and then looked at the gentle, water-like girl in front of him, Asher knew he had to do something. Otherwise he was sorry for this big web of happiness that Mia had woven for herself.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Mia , I’m going on a trip to Thailand tomorrow, there’s a business deal over there that I have to settle well, so I won’t be home for the next three or four days, so you take care of yourself, okay?”
Asher is really relieved that this little woman is always so vulnerable and so easily schemed, I really don’t know how long such a woman can fight in the treacherous shopping mall. So as a husband, he had to do something for his wife.
“To Thailand? In such a hurry? Who’s all going with you?” Mia was taken aback by Asher’s sudden business trip, knowing that Asher’s body hadn’t completely healed yet and couldn’t afford such a toss and turn.
“You don’t have to worry”, Asher tried to calm a somewhat agitated Mia in a soft voice, “Yeah, you don’t have to worry, Claude and the guards will be along, I won’t get myself hurt again like I did last time with them around.”
Mia looked at Asher worriedly and finally nodded melancholy.
“Well, make sure you stay safe or the baby and I will worry.”
“Well, definitely”, Asher kissed Mia gently on the head, the little woman he would protect with everything he had.
The next day Asher left the house after a brief goodbye to Mia, knowing he had to come back well, no matter what he would encounter on this trip to America.
“Are you leaving or not? You’re the one who rushed us to the airport, and you’re the one who came to the airport and didn’t get on the plane, so what are you going to do?”
Claude looked depressed, wondering how many lifetimes he had been unlucky enough to have Asher as a friend, and how lucky he was to have him.
“Let’s go.”
Just as Claude complained about Asher’s mother-in-law, Asher suddenly turned around and headed for the passenger lane with his back to the airport entrance he had been watching before.
“Hey! Wait for me, you really change your face faster than the weather!” Claude looked at the distant Asher’s back and grumbled again, before catching up.
The three security guards who were travelling behind them, looking at two men of not low status, one cold as an iceberg, the other like a basket of words, had more than the usual number of questions in their hearts. What kind of karmic coincidence would make two people with such discordant personalities, have such a good relationship?
The three thought about it for a while without figuring it out, and finally came to the conclusion that it was sinful.
With such a high level of conclusion, the trio then walked side by side towards the ride aisle to catch up with Asher and Claude who were already out of sight.
This is Asher’s second trip to the United States this month. Unlike his last trip, Asher seems much calmer this time around, with the stability of a mature man and the competence of a successful businessman on his face.
After getting off the plane, Asher and Claude’s group found a nice hotel and settled themselves in before starting a brief discussion.
“You two stand at the door and keep a good watch while Bing stays.” Claude gestured for Bing to close the door after a brief arrangement, before he began discussing his trip in America with Asher.
“We won’t be moving today, Bruce and his group already recognized both me and Nangong asked last time, so we need to plan this operation properly. This time, we need to do it without spooking the snake as much as possible, and we need to do it without Bruce and the others being on guard.”
Asher sat on the sofa in the plush presidential suite, one hand resting on the backrest of the couch, one hand holding a file and looking at it intently.
“Well, since someone knew you and Nangong asked last time, then in my opinion it’s best for you not to make a move, I think that Bruce doesn’t know me and Bing, and this time the two of us, Bing and I, will go together. You can have Bing pretend to be my secretary. This way and not to alarm the snake, also seems like Master Leng show our intention.”
Claude took a cup of coffee, blew on it gently, and sipped it slowly.
“Well, Claude, your solution is good, but how to meet Leng Tianming and in what way is the crux of the matter. Since Bruce and his group know about my existence, they must be wary of Jun’s group, so we can’t use the name Jun’s group, and Mia’s Shengshi group can’t be used either. They’re directors of the headquarters, so they must know the Chinese branch like the back of their hand, and pretending to be one would be a foolish choice.”
“Well, sure. Since Jun’s not available, could Lai’s be?” Claude gently teased a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“How?” Asher wondered just what kind of bad idea Claude had come up with to make him laugh so hideously.
“Since we’re going to use it, there must be some reason for it. Riina’s family’s company has been gone for a while now, but although Ri’s was taken over by us, it never had the Jun’s sign on it. That means not a lot of people know that Lai’s was bought by Jun’s, at least no one on the American side.” Claude’s eyes showed a hint of smugness.
With a hint of smugness any way Asher looked at it was transformed into a living, breathing aura of gloom.
Asher cleared his throat and continued, “And then what?”
Claude glanced at Asher disdainfully and said contemptuously, “Then I’m the one who merged Lai’s chant, my name is Xiang Yun. My secretary, Bing, and I want to buy the source of materials supplied to Jun’s by Duan Shengshi Group, what reason do you think there is for those with evil intentions to be suspicious with such a condition?”
Asher smiled at that and put down the paper in his hand, picking up the coffee on the table as well and sipping it slowly.
“Although this idea sounds awful and tarnishes my Jun’s reputation and the face of my Jun family, but since you’re the one who went to all the trouble sub ah to come up with this bad idea, I’ll just go with it.”
Asher’s embarrassed look hurt Claude, who was racking his brain for a response, so Claude ungentlemanly tossed the pillow in his hand.
Although Asher was drinking coffee, he caught the pillow and threw it back with his hand.
“Hey, are you like that? It’s thanks to the kindness of others to think of a solution for you, and you’re so eager to squeeze me, huh?” Claude finally expressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
But Asher continued to drink his coffee as if nothing had happened at all.
Claude then picks up another hug pillow and flings it at Asher.
