Cheng An lifted the bag in his hand, shook it a bit, and said, "Well, since Mianmian is going back home, we brothers specifically got up early to buy some specialities from Capital City to take back with her, so the family can try something fresh."
Xu Sheng also held two big bags in his hands, "That’s right, fresh from the oven, Capital City roast duck, and assorted Capital sweetmeats, sugar crisps, all Mianmian’s favorites. If the plane flies a little faster, it’ll still be warm when she gets home."
Jiang Mianmian saw these usually pampered young masters getting up at dawn to buy local products for her send-off and knew they really did care for her as a sister.
Even if it was because of Yu Cheng, Mianmian was happy.
She raised a smile and sweetly said, "Brother Cheng An, Brother Xu Sheng, Brother He Ping, Brother Tang Lin, thank you."
"What’s there to thank, it’s nothing major. Come on, it’s getting late, you should hurry up and go," Tang Lin said with a smile.
Yu Cheng took the items, placed them in the car, and Mianmian also leaned out the car window, waving to them, "Mm, goodbye, brothers."
The jeep started up again and, after driving for almost half an hour, they stopped outside a particularly large warehouse.
Outside the warehouse, soldiers in military uniforms with guns were keeping guard. Yu Cheng took out a stamped document, showed it to the guards at the gate, and the two were allowed in.
From a distance, Mianmian could already see several helicopters parked in the center of a plaza. Yu Cheng looked over and pointed to the first one, "Mianmian, you’ll take that helicopter home later. The noise inside might be a bit loud, but don’t be afraid, there’s no danger."
Yu Cheng, fearing Mianmian would be scared, reassured her in advance.
"Mm, I know, Brother Yu, don’t worry, I’m very brave," Mianmian said confidently, patting her chest.
Although the helicopter didn’t seem far, it took them more than ten minutes to walk over. Yu Cheng spoke a few words to the pilot and then escorted Mianmian onboard.
Worried she might be afraid, Yu Cheng especially stood by her side to keep her company for a while. After everything was loaded and it was time for the helicopter to take off, Yu Cheng left at the pilot’s cue.
"Goodbye, Brother Yu!" Mianmian waved frantically from inside the helicopter and suddenly felt a tinge of reluctance to part.
Yu Cheng didn’t speak, but smiled at her a bit indulgently.
Soon, the helicopter’s blades began to spin, and Mianmian, sitting inside, couldn’t hear anything else. The helicopter slowly rose, and Yu Cheng became a tiny black dot on the ground.
In her previous life, Mianmian had taken many flights, but this was her first time in a helicopter, so she was quite excited.
Yu Cheng waited until the helicopter was out of sight before he turned and left.
Back in the military district compound, he didn’t go straight home but went to Cheng An’s home instead.
Cheng An was at home working on summer homework. He had played too much during the summer break and now, with school about to start, remembered that he hadn’t done his homework.
"Mianmian left?" Cheng An asked.
"Yeah, she left, Cheng An, there’s something I want to discuss with you," Yu Cheng said with a smile.
"Discuss with me? What is it?" Cheng An was surprised by Yu Cheng’s attitude. When had Boss Yu become so polite?
"You know about Mianmian’s clothing business, right?" Yu Cheng asked.
"Of course, the young lady is pretty impressive. She can make her own money so young. I even have someone who wants to place a custom order with her. What about it?" Cheng An asked, puzzled about why Yu Cheng would suddenly bring up this matter.
