Chapter 147 Ning Yao Returns Home
Peng Xiaowei was sleeping in bed when the phone suddenly rang in the living room.
He turned over and wrapped his head tightly with the quilt.
However, a moment later, there was a knock on the door, and the nanny's voice came through the door, with a hint of caution: "Master, are you asleep?"
Peng Xiaowei impatiently lifted the quilt and sat up, his eyes full of displeasure at being interrupted: "What's the matter?"
The nanny quickly replied: "It's a call for you."
It's actually for me, not my dad?
He walked out of the bedroom puzzled and grabbed the receiver: "Hello, who is it?"
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Peng, this is Xiao Chu, calling from England."
Peng Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, then his memory came back and he remembered Xiao Chu.
"What do you want from me?" He asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Xiao Chu said on the other end of the phone: "I want to ask, did you go to Teresa Teng's concert?"
Peng Xiaowei replied impatiently: "No, I came back early because of something."
"Is that so..." Xiao Chu said, "Then, what did you do with those two tickets?"
Peng Xiaowei was inexplicably furious: "How I deal with it is my business! I gave it away, okay? If you don't believe me, just consider it as something I sold!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a "bang" and sat down on the chair angrily.
His thoughts drifted back to London. He felt irritated and swept the chessboard on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand. The chess pieces scattered and rolled on the ground.
But before long, his expression gradually softened, and a smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was a bit shy and full of tenderness, as if he was remembering something beautiful.
This scene made the nanny who was hiding behind the kitchen door and peeping shudder and get goose bumps all over her body.
At the same time, in England, Secretary Xiao Chu was reporting the situation to Lu Jie.
After listening to this, Lu Jie was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hand and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now."
He turned his gaze to the newspaper in his hand, his fingertips lightly tapping the photo of Chen Feng hugging Charles and Diana, "Check this person's background."
He handed the newspaper to Xiao Chu and continued, "Currently, our negotiations with Britain regarding the Hong Kong issue are at a critical juncture, and every step requires caution. Some things must be done in advance to prepare for the worst and pave the way for Hong Kong's peaceful return."
"Yes, Ambassador." Xiao Chu answered respectfully.
Chen Feng attended Teresa Teng's celebration banquet.
The venue is in the ballroom of the Ritz Hotel.
Teresa Teng sat next to Chen Feng, and a hint of fatigue could not be concealed under her exquisite makeup.
She poked at the foie gras on her plate with her chopsticks and sighed, "These concerts keep coming one after another, and I feel like I'm spinning like a top. I was thinking of going home after the London concert, but now I'm tied up in Paris and Frankfurt."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng put down his glass and said with understanding, "Success always comes with a price. London has achieved great success, so the company and the European organizers will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity."
His words were filled with encouragement: "This is a crucial moment in your journey to global superstardom. Don't give up easily."
Teresa Teng pouted and said coquettishly, "But I'm really tired. I just want to find a place to stay and rest for a while."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "How about this, after you finish these two concerts, I'll go on vacation with you, how about that?"
Teresa Teng's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? Don't lie to me."
Chen Feng said, "Of course it's true. Look, at your command, I traveled thousands of miles to listen to your concert, didn't I?"
Teresa Teng pressed on: "Then can I go wherever I want?"
Chen Feng nodded. "Anywhere I can go is fine. But my visa has restrictions, so I can't stay abroad for too long. As for domestically, you can choose. Oh, by the way, I probably can't go to Taiwan."
A trace of longing flashed in Teresa Teng's eyes: "I want to go to Provence, live in an ancient castle, and be surrounded by lavender every day."
Chen Feng imagined the scene and said longingly, "That's a really great place. I don't have time this time, but if I have the chance in the future, I also want to buy a castle there and build a winery. I can go there for vacation in my free time. It's so pleasant just thinking about it."
He secretly calculated in his mind, wondering if his wealth was enough.
After all, he knew that Provence castles in the 21st century were very expensive, ranging from millions to tens of millions of euros, but he had no idea about the price in the 1980s.
When Teresa Teng heard this, she seemed to be moved. She didn't say anything, but was thinking about whether she would have the chance to visit Provence during this trip to Paris.
Suddenly she remembered something, pulled out a beautiful invitation from her bag, and handed it to Chen Feng: "Here, come with me."
Chen Feng took the invitation and opened it. It was clearly printed with the emblem of the British royal family, inviting Teresa Teng to participate in the upcoming military parade.
He looked up in surprise: "This is... an invitation from the British royal family? Can I go?"
Teresa Teng smiled and nodded. "Of course, the invitation says you can bring a male companion. I don't have anyone suitable with me, are you going to let me go alone? Besides, you've already hugged Charles at the concert, so you can be considered a friend of the royal family, hehe."
Chen Feng looked at Teresa Teng's mischievous smile and said, "Okay, then I will be your male companion and accompany you on this journey before returning home."
Ninghai.
Ning Yao pushed open the car door, his eyes fell on the small gray building in front of him, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
This small building carries her short but precious childhood. Although she moved to another place with her parents less than five years later, every brick and tile here is engraved with her childhood memories.
After Ning Hezhong was transferred to become the governor of Dongjiang Province, he insisted on living in the Provincial Party Committee Guesthouse and declined all other residences until this small building was returned to its original owner, at which time he happily moved back.
Gao Qi followed and got out of the car, gently reminding, "Ms. Ning, please go in. The governor has been waiting for a long time."
Ning Yao took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped into the familiar space.
Just then, her father walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding dishes. The warmth he showed instantly touched her heart and her eyes became moist again.
"Yaoyao, go wash your hands first. The soup will be ready soon and we can start eating." Ning Hezhong smiled and turned around and hurried back to the kitchen to get busy.
Soon, a pot of steaming yam and taro ball soup was served on the table. The soup noodles were dotted with green chopped green onions. It was Ning Yao’s favorite as a child.
The father and daughter sat opposite each other. Ning Hezhong was in high spirits, constantly picking up food for his daughter. The topic ranged from daily school life to childhood memories, and the atmosphere was quite good.
When the meal was halfway through, Ning Hezhong changed the subject: "Yaoyao, now that you've grown up and have a stable job, the only thing Dad is worried about is your lifelong event."
