Chapter 716 - 569: Second Update 2
By the time everyone had gotten out of the car, he was already standing amidst the crowd with a stack of room cards in hand.
"Alright, alright."
From four in the afternoon until now, everyone had been sitting in the car. Although the ride through the mountains and wilderness offered beautiful scenery, when it was time to eat, hunger prevailed.
Not to mention, this was the first dinner of the vacation, and everyone was looking forward to it.
They all grabbed their luggage and gathered in front of the tour leader to get their room cards.
"Boss, this is your room card with Teacher Ning, on the fourth floor." The assistant Jin walked over to Shi Wangyue’s side and handed him a room card.
Shi Wangyue looked up at the fourth floor of the villa, realizing it was the top floor, "How many rooms are on the fourth floor?"
Assistant Jin said, "The fourth floor has two family suites, and the other room is empty."
Shi Wangyue asked again, "Where are you staying?"
Assistant Jin said I am sharing a room with Xiao Chen on the first floor.
Xiao Chen is the administrative guy responsible for this "Starlight" team-building event.
"Why don’t you stay next door to us?" Shi Wangyue asked, "You don’t need to worry about the event, just take a good rest this time."
The family suite has enough space.
Plus, Assistant Jin is a quiet type, so Shi Wangyue wasn’t worried about him staying up late and making too much noise. However, Assistant Jin repeatedly declined, "General Shi, you and Teacher Ning have a good rest, I can stay with Xiao Chen."
Shi Wangyue asked one more time, "Really not staying next door?"
"General Shi, I’ll stay with Xiao Chen." Assistant Jin said sincerely.
"Alright, then have a good rest these two days." Seeing Assistant Jin firmly decline, Shi Wangyue didn’t insist, and asked, "Where’s Ze Wu staying?"
"General Yun is staying in a suite on the third floor." Assistant Jin replied.
"Okay, I got it," Shi Wangyue said, "See you later."
Turning around, he took the luggage, held Ning Youguang’s hand, and prepared to go upstairs.
"Goodbye Assistant Jin." Ning Youguang bid farewell to Assistant Jin with a smile.
...
On the first day of the trip, even though everyone was tired from the journey, they didn’t feel exhausted; instead, they were quite energetic.
Moreover, the company had just completed several big projects, and everyone found ample reasons to enjoy themselves and have a good time.
After dinner, they invited each other to the second-floor terrace for a party.
Although Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang weren’t fond of the party atmosphere, they went to the terrace to sit for a while and played with everyone for a bit.
The two long tables on the terrace were filled with snacks, drinks, fruit, and beverages.
Yun Ze Wu had already blended in with the group, playing games with them.
Many people chose to drink and warmly invited Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang to join.
"I quit drinking, this will do." Ning Youguang walked to the table and picked up a bottle of mineral water.
Seeing she quit drinking, the crowd turned to ask Shi Wangyue next to her.
"What about a drink, General Shi?"
Before Shi Wangyue could answer.
Ning Youguang answered with a smile, "Your boss’s stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently, and his drinking tonight has already exceeded the limit, he shouldn’t drink anymore."
And with a swift motion, she grabbed a bottle of milk from the table and handed it to Shi Wangyue.
"Oh~" everyone hooted, "Alright, alright, do as you please."
With drinks in hand, Ning Youguang was led by Shi Wangyue to the edge of the terrace, where there were two empty chairs, back facing the crowd and facing the nearby fields and mountains.
After sitting down, they stopped paying attention to the game-playing crowd, and instead sat shoulder to shoulder gazing at the moon above.
Just now, while dining downstairs, the restaurant’s staff mentioned it had rained recently, and for the coming days, the mountain air would be exceptionally fresh.
Ning Youguang felt as though, perhaps due to the abundant rain.
This small town, not far from Beijing, had not only fresh air but an unusually beautiful sky.
Even late at night, the sky hung low in darkness.
"A shooting star~"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Everyone immediately lifted their heads to look at the sky, Ning Youguang too followed suit, looking up at where their teammate had pointed, but the shooting star had already disappeared.
"Ah, the shooting star is gone." Those who missed seeing it felt quite regretful.
Teacher Ning, who had been interested in celestial movements since childhood, quickly chimed in, "There will definitely be more later."
"Really?" everyone curiously asked Ning Youguang.
"Yes." Ning Youguang smiled, "But you have to keep your eyes on the sky above to avoid missing the next one."
"Sure."
