218 Parting

Chuchu could not take it anymore. She hugged Chen En and started crying. “We were supposed to play video games together!”

Chen En had just bought a new game console, and he invited Chuchu over to play every day.

Of course, Chuchu was also tempted, but her exams were coming up, and her mother would not allow her to go to Chen En’s house to play games.

Chen En had advised her to have some fun with him after the mid-term exams.

Now that he was suddenly going to leave, all his plans had been dashed.

After school, when Qu Zhi came to pick up Chuchu, Chuchu’s eyes were red from crying. She didn’t eat dinner that night and was crying alone in her room.

Qu Zhi knew very well that this was what Mrs. Chen had called her this morning to discuss.

They were going back to Taipei, and it was an emergency.

“This is the decision of Chen En’s father,” Mrs. Chen said. She didn’t have any right to speak at all, and her tone was so casual as if she was already used to such sudden and one-sided decisions.

Qu Zhi, on the other hand, felt a little regretful. She still remembered the sparkle in Mrs. Chen’s eyes when they were discussing the Taiwan distributors.

Qu Zhi knew that Mrs. Chen was not the kind of person who would treat her career as child’s play, and she could understand how helpless Mrs. Chen was when she let go of her career this time. However, she couldn’t do anything but respect Mrs. Chen’s decision.

The two of them talked for a long time. They talked about the Art Gallery that was about to be abandoned, and their plans for Taiwan, and finally, they returned to the scarf. At this time, Mrs. Chen’s voice was a little choked.

“President Qu, I really like and think highly of Jiale. I hope you guys can do better and better until I can see Jiale’s brand in Taiwan.”

“Don’t say that,” Qu Zhi consoled her. “We can still make whatever you want. We’ll just mail it to you when the time comes.” However, in this era, there were no multimedia messages, so the effect of communication was definitely not as clear as face-to-face communication.

Mrs. Chen’s smile was dry. After a long silence, she finally asked hesitantly, “President Qu, are you willing to wait for me for a while? About the distributors…”

As she spoke, she lost her confidence.

How long does she have to wait? She didn’t know. The decision of when they will return was still in her husband’s hands. Should she fly back by herself or with her whole family? These things were not decided yet. She only knew there was a problem with her husband’s company. She had no idea whether it was a big problem or a small problem.

She was like a small object in her husband’s hand. She couldn’t control anything and could only follow her husband with half-understanding.

Qu Zhi heard Mrs. Chen sighing on the other end of the phone, and she felt upset. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt this request was not particularly excessive.

Actually, the distributors were not that urgent. Although her company’s business was good, it was not that mature. It still needed more time to polish.

In fact, compared to the distributors’ profit, Qu Zhi was more willing to make Mrs. Chen feel better. They had known each other for a long time and could be considered old friends and old customers. They wouldn’t be so calculative over such a small amount of money.

“Of course, I can wait for you,” Qu Zhi agreed.

“Really?” Mrs. Chen’s voice trembled. “Thank you so much. After we’re done with these things, I’ll return to the mainland and we’ll talk about the distributors.”

Qu Zhi knew that Mrs. Chen was about to leave, but she did not expect them to leave so soon. It was only when Chuchu returned that she found out that Mrs. Chen had left in the afternoon and had not even waited for Chen En to finish school.

Everyone was still in class when Chen En left. In the end, Chuchu and Chen En only exchanged a glance through the window before Chen En was taken away by his mother. The two good friends didn’t even have a proper farewell, which was why Chuchu was so sad.

“Don’t cry, look at your face.” Qu Zhi gently wiped away the tears on Chuchu’s face. it’s not like we won’t be able to see them again. We can take a plane to visit them in the future.

“But Chen En’s house is so far away! It’ll take a long time to fly.” Chuchu stretched her arms and gestured to Qu Zhi.

“It’s so far!” Sisi mimicked her sister’s actions and gestured to Qu Zhi.

Qu Zhi smiled and patted their heads. “Let’s give it a try, then. How do we know how long we’ll have to fly if we don’t try?”
