"Oh by the way, Zhilan, that Jennifer girl Orz arranged for you is not bad. She started her work before you even arrived, she’s such an independent person, really nice." said Xing Ye.
"If she wasn’t good, Orz wouldn’t have assigned her to me." He Zhilan laughed, then asked, "Have things been going smoothly for you in S Province lately?"
"Smooth, it’s actually more peaceful here than in the capital" Xing Ye replied, "About the project you want to undertake, I’ve been investigating suitable villages in the vicinity these past few days. There are two potential locations, but Jennifer says that the mountainous areas are too small, so you’ll need to expand to other areas. Hence, besides subcontracting, you might need to collaborate with the local farmers."
"Ok, I’ll make specific plans after I’ve seen the place." He Zhilan smiled, "I’ll be troubling you a lot on my trip to S Province this time, don’t complain!"
"Hard work is part of the job, if you succeed, it’s also my achievement." Xing Ye smiled, "Plus, choosing S Province was a wise decision. The climate here is good, it has not seen any climatic disasters in the past few decades. The four seasons are well-defined, you could say it’s a land of peace and prosperity."
He Zhilan didn’t discuss work much with Xing Ye in the car, as it wouldn’t necessarily be useful without an on-site examination.
"That’s right, He Zhilan, Xing Ye and I talked, since you and Jennifer will be staying in S Province for a long time, we’ll arrange for you to stay in a hotel tonight. Then, the day after tomorrow, Xing Ye will show you around the place we found for you. This way, you’ll save some costs and it will be more convenient than staying in a hotel." said Bian Xiulin, "Jennifer said she doesn’t have many demands, she just needs her own independent space. When you go back to the capital, she will need to stay here, so we also found a separate place for her."
"That’s fine, when it comes to our accommodation, listen to her suggestions, prioritize her comfort. I’m not too particular." He Zhilan nodded, this arrangement was indeed better than always staying in a hotel.
After they arrived at the hotel, since it wasn’t too late, He Zhilan went to greet Jennifer first and tell her that she had arrived. Without discussing work urgently, He Zhilan and He Teng each went to their own rooms, then let Xing Ye and pregnant Bian Xiulin go back to rest early.
After taking a shower at the hotel and washing off the fatigue from the journey, He Zhilan knocked on He Teng’s door with her wet, dripping hair. He Teng had also just come out of the shower. Seeing He Zhilan’s hair, he furrowed his brow, "What are you doing here without drying your hair after the bath?"
"I’m so jealous of you guys with short hair, one swipe and it’s dry! Like Ya’nan says, washing her face and hair is as easy as wiping. I also want to cut my hair, especially during the scorching summer." He Zhilan softly complained.
Listening to He Zhilan’s complaints, He Teng looked at her long hair that reached her waist and after a long while said, "You can cut it if you want."
Upon hearing this, He Zhilan immediately shook her head, "I’m not cutting it!" She looked up at He Teng and smiled, "I know you love the way I look with my long hair! When we were still married, you loved toying with my hair the most."
Of course, He Zhilan didn’t mention that, before they divorced, during intimate moments, He Teng would kiss her face, her entire body, including her raven-black hair.
So, because of this, no matter how hot it gets, He Zhilan will absolutely not cut her long hair.
