Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Although Su Enxi said she was only there to collect Mai's body, she secretly hoped to find Mai alive and well.

I'd give up potato chips for a day if I could find it!

Of course, if you want her to quit for two days, that's fine.

"Okay okay."

Mr. Shao bowed his head repeatedly, thinking that the female secretary had come at just the right time. He would definitely reward her well after this matter was over.

Boss Shao turned around dejectedly, just about to leave, when Su Enxi's voice immediately came from behind him.

"correct."

Boss Shao stopped and turned around with a smile: "Is there anything else you need?"

Su Enxi pouted.

Although she felt that it was pointless for Boss Shao to get involved, she still felt somewhat displeased when she saw him exchanging glances with his beautiful female secretary.

"Mr. He Cheng's dinner party... is it on Saturday?" Su Enxi asked, rubbing her temples.

Mr. Shao was stunned, wondering why Su Enxi would bring this up.

"Yes," he answered cautiously.

"You don't need to go to the dinner party on Saturday. In the next few days, hurry up and help me find someone. I want the person you found," Su Enxi said calmly.

Mr. Shao was taken aback: "Then the group isn't going to attend the dinner on Saturday?"

“It’s not like you absolutely have to go,” Su Enxi said. “For a celebration like this, the company only needs to send a representative, right?”

"So who do you plan to send?"

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll let you know when the time comes."

Su Enxi picked up a potato chip and thought to herself that she should be able to get a lot of rewards from the boss by exchanging Cheng Long's autographed photo and autographed DVD.

Chapter 150 Ricardo, the English Gentleman

After an otherwise uneventful Thursday, the last Friday of September arrived as scheduled.

A week of military training, a week of exams, and then a week spent busy with Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao's affairs—a month passed just like that.

Although it was just a Friday that seemed like any other, there was a palpable sense of restless anxiety in the air. The sun was blazing, the wind was rustling, and even the cats in heat at school seemed to be meowing more loudly than usual.

Lu Mingfei was initially baffled by this change in mood, until he overheard Zhao Menghua, Xu Yanyan, and Xu Miaomiao chatting next to him while packing his schoolbag after school, and suddenly understood why the campus was so restless.

"Big brother, where are you going for National Day holiday?" Less than a month into the new semester, Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao have already recognized Zhao Menghua as their older brother.

Saturday is September 30th, and this weekend is the National Day holiday. Having studied abroad for several years, Lu Mingfei had almost forgotten that there was a seven-day holiday for National Day.

No wonder Lu Mingze messaged him on QQ last night, saying that his uncle asked why his phone was always off and whether he was going back on Friday.

“I went to Australia last year, and this year I’ll probably go to New Zealand or Nepal,” Zhao Menghua said loudly.

"Wow! Boss, I need to be your backer!"

"What's there to hug? Actually, October is the dry season in Nepal. It's incredibly dry, and the locals eat mostly radish strips and leafy greens. The scenery is barely passable, though. I'd rather stay in China."

He always says that, but I've never actually seen him stay in China during the National Day holiday.

Zhao Menghua squinted, waved his hand, and turned to ask Chen Wenwen what her plans were for National Day.

"I'll probably just stay home," Chen Wenwen said after thinking for a while.

"Aren't you going on a trip?"

"Hmm." Chen Wenwen shook her head. "I'm not going out."

One thing Lu Mingfei clearly sensed was that recently, the subtle interactions between Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen seemed to be increasing.

However, Lu Mingfei couldn't pinpoint exactly when this interaction started to increase.

"Hey, why think so much about nothing?" Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Perhaps in a past life, these two had this kind of interaction from a very early age, but at that time, I was only focused on Chen Wenwen, so I didn't notice it.

Because he had promised Su Xiaoqiang that he would get his hair and makeup done tonight to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, Lu Mingfei wasn't in a hurry and leisurely packed his bag.

When almost everyone had left the classroom, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stood up, clutching the bag of her schoolbag behind her with one hand.

"Let's go?" the little fairy asked.

Xia Mi was still asleep; Jiu De Mai had already told her in advance that she might not be back until very late tonight, and left her some money to eat whatever she wanted; as for her uncle, she had already said that she would not be back until the weekend.

Lu Mingfei searched his mind and, confirming that everything was arranged, nodded: "Let's go."

Before they even reached the school gate, they could already see Su Xiaoqiang's black Audi A8 in the distance. Uncle Li stood by the car door and opened the back door for them in advance.

Su Xiaoqiang got into the car first, and Lu Mingfei greeted Uncle Li before getting in as well.

Where is that hair salon you mentioned?

"It's right in the city center."

Su Xiaoqiang said, "But we need to go to the old town first. The suit has already been altered for you. We'll take the suit to the stylist shop together. After the styling is done, we'll have to try the suit on to see if it matches your image. If it doesn't, we'll have to alter it."

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. He knew that the preparations for attending a banquet were quite troublesome.

When Caesar attended banquets, a whole row of makeup artists waited in the dressing room, ready to touch up his makeup at any time. Compared to that, the torment he experienced was relatively little.

"When we get to the old town, could we stop on Wuyi Road first?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Wuyi Road?" Su Xiaoqiang frowned. "Is your phone broken?"

Wuyi Road was originally a street full of electronic products, from the earliest pagers to the later mobile phones and now mobile phones and MP3 players, with both genuine and grey market goods available.

However, in recent years, with the establishment of several new business districts, young people prefer to buy electronic products at supermarkets such as Ocean Classic Mall, so business on Wuyi Road is not as good as it used to be.

"No, I lost my SIM card and need to get a replacement."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. The Nokia N73 that Liu Miaomiao had given him was still unopened, so he didn't mention that it had been damaged by water.

"how long?"

"About half an hour."

"Okay, try to be as fast as you can."

It's been really inconvenient not having a phone these past few days. I'm going to the old town later anyway, so I'll buy a phone for Mai Shutoku on the way and get a new SIM card for myself.

Although Mai Shude didn't give me her ID card... well, she seems to be Japanese, so it should be her passport.

However, at that time, mobile phone numbers were not subject to mandatory real-name registration, and anonymous phone cards were sold everywhere on the street.

When I arrived at the business hall on Wuyi Road, the staff hadn't left work yet. The process of replacing a phone card takes some time.

While he was at it, Lu Mingfei went to a nearby mobile phone store and bought a rather expensive Sony phone for Mai Shude.

Of course, it wasn't because of Mai Shutoku's line "I'll pay him back double," but simply because she's Japanese and would be more comfortable using a Japanese phone!

After I bought the phone and came back, the SIM card had already been replaced.

Lu Mingfei got back into the car and asked, "Next, to the tailor shop?"

"no need."

The little fairy said calmly, took a paper bag from beside her feet and stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's arms, then pointed to her Longines watch.

"I already went to the tailor shop to get your suit back. And it took you an hour to get a replacement SIM card!"

Fortunately, although Su Xiaoqiang sounded very unhappy, she didn't say anything more. Instead, she asked her driver, Uncle Li, to drive the car directly to a hair salon in the city center, where she tapped her brightly colored nail polished fingertips on her thigh like she was playing a piano.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Xiaoqiang's profile out of the corner of his eye, feeling that the little fairy seemed to have changed a bit. Based on Lu Mingfei's limited understanding of her from the other world, the little fairy was very particular about time.

At one of the literary society's gatherings, Zhao Menghua was half an hour late, and Xiaotiannu scolded him for a long time.

It seems that after returning to high school, those once firmly held personalities or images have undergone distorted and blurred changes.

Su Xiaoqiang wasn't as unruly and unreasonable as he had imagined; Liu Miaomiao wasn't aloof at all, but rather so enthusiastic that she was almost clingy; Chen Wenwen was still the quiet, artistic girl, but she no longer gave him that homely, family-friendly feeling.

"By the way, where are you going for National Day?" Little Fairy suddenly asked as Lu Mingfei was deep in thought.

"Forehead……"

In the past, every National Day holiday, he would squeeze into the same air-conditioned room with Lu Mingze to fight over that old, broken laptop. Sometimes, they would watch anime together harmoniously.

Now that I've moved out on my own, I no longer have to share a room with Lu Mingze and fight over the same computer, but I should still be able to do pretty much the same things.

If it weren't for what happened with Liu Miaomiao's mother, he actually had another option: to invite Liu Miaomiao to see "Baby Project" and enjoy the remaining moments of his youth. This was something he had thought about a long time ago.

However, he and Liu Miaomiao are currently out of contact, so he probably won't be able to ask her out.

"What's up?" Lu Mingfei asked. "What's your plan?"

"Even if there's an opportunity, it has nothing to do with you." Su Xiaoqiang grinned and made a face.

"cut."

Lu Mingfei feigned disdain and curled his lip, but in his heart he was thinking that the interaction between himself and Xiao Tiannv seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

……

A villa in the California Sunshine Community.

Liu Miaomiao walked through the corridor to the door of the room and gently knocked.

1, 2, 3... She counted silently outside the door until she reached 5, when the familiar voice inside finally said, "Come in."

She pushed the door open and entered, closing it behind her.

It was her parents' shared room, but only her mother was there at the moment. With National Day approaching, her father was still in a meeting at the company, making arrangements for the holiday.

Seeing her daughter enter, Ji Ruyan's tense face gradually relaxed. She smiled and beckoned Liu Miaomiao to come to her side, gently patting her head.

"Are you tired from practicing the piano?" Ji Ruyan asked.

"Not tired."

"You must have practiced that piece for a long time, right? It's a bit difficult to suddenly ask you to change the piece."

Liu Miaomiao shook her head. The piece "Exodus" is quite a classic. She had practiced it many times when she was learning the piano, so she could pick it up very quickly.

What truly exhausted her wasn't the sudden change of piano music, but rather...
