"But if there is an emergency relating to anything including money, just call me and I will get it done," Song Jujing added.
She was leaving her daughter alone in Country S, a country she couldn't trust anybody in. If it wouldn't be a waste, she would have asked Liling to quit and come with her.
"I thought you don't have anyone here, how would you help me in the case where it has nothing to do with money?"
If her problem was money, she could easily wire it to her, but if she wanted physical help, how would she do it?
The mother and daughter were already in the elevator along with the man helping them with their luggage.
"I may not have all the contacts here, but I do know the Editor in chief for VOGUE in this country, I can ask her for help. Now, enough with that talk, I want you to know something very important."
Song Jujing did not say anything after that, and Zhang Liling did not ask about it either until they got out of the elevator.
"Thank you, we will take it from here," Song Jujing said as she dipped her hand into her bag and gave the security man a tip, while Zhang Liling took over their luggage.
"Thank You," the man said gratefully with a bow before accepting the money and leaving.
Zhang Liling input the password to her apartment while saying, "Mum, this is the password, you can use this one anytime you come over later, we will add your fingerprint."
"Mmmm"
The sound of the electronic door being unlocked was heard, and Zhang Liling pushed the door open to let them in.
"Mum, do you like the place?" Zhang Liling asked with a bright smile on her face.
Song Jujing looked around and smiled, "I like it, but sit first, I want to talk to you before I forget."
And so, the mother and daughter sat on the light-cream-colored couch to talk.
"I want you to know that you may not enjoy this privilege forever. Your father still shows me some respect because he has not fully dived into the field of politics which won't be long. And when that time comes, my relationship with him would change because he wouldn't listen to anybody that is not giving him anything in return."
Zhang Liling was listening carefully to know where this was going.
"I'm telling you this, so you won't relax. Start building your connections and growing your social network, because this is what will save you when you see yourself in a dire situation. Let your mind be unreadable. This is the authentic reason Shi Wenqian can't do anything to me because she can't read me, she doesn't know what I can do."
Shi Wenqian doesn't dare to directly cross Song Jujing's path because of her family's background, and because right from time, she doesn't know what she is capable of doing. Song Jujing may seem silent, but Shi Wenqian knows she is more than that.
Speaking of building her connections, Zhang Liling was already thinking about Mr. Fang. He was 100% of everything she needed in a man.
He was handsome, tall, intelligent, handsome, outstanding, wealthy, has good connections, came from a good family, and more so, he looks unapproachable which means that anyone that manages to get to him, would be protected by him.
Mr. Fang was Zhang Liling's gold mine.
Even though Zhang Liling's head was full of conquering Mr. Fang as she has already been enchanted by him, her mother's advice sank into her skull. That message riled her up and made her begin to think of how to affect her plans.
She can't let Mr. Fang fire her on her first day of working for him.
After chatting with her mother, she took their luggage to her bedroom, leaving her mother to explore her apartment by herself.
Taking her luggage to her bedroom, Zhang Liling began to unpack her things, so she could repack the things she would need to take to Mr. Fang's villa, before putting away the rest in her closet.
When she was done, she glanced at the table clock on her nightstand and felt she still had about half an hour before Bolin comes to pick her up, so she went to take a shower.
When she came out with a bathrobe wrapped around her body, her mother came to find her.
"Can you book a ride to the airport for me, I have to leave soon."
'This is great!'
Zhang Liling was already thinking of how she was going to leave the house with her luggage without her mother knowing, but it looks like she wouldn't need to hide anymore.
"Okay, I'm booking a ride for you now," Zhang Liling said as she immediately picked up her phone to book a ride for her.
After dressing up, Zhang Liling was sitting in front of her vanity table and trying to get her makeup done when she got a call from Bolin, who told her he was 10 minutes away from her location, and that made her hasten up.
When her mother's ride came, she didn't even have the time to send her off. She rang the line for the security team on the ground floor, so one of them would help her mother with her luggage.
Before leaving her apartment, Song Jujing embraced her and gave her a reminder before leaving.
"Send me a text when you get to the airport, and when you board the plane," Zhang Liling reminded.
She would be busy by that time, so a text was best not to distract her.
Sighing in relief, Zhang Liling completed her hairstyle before picking up her backpack and her luggage and headed out.
Just as she got off the elevator, she got Bolin's call.
"Miss Zhang, I am in front of your building,"
There was no time to think about how he got himself inside, therefore, Zhang Liling told him she was out already and that he would see her in a few seconds.
Bolin was already standing beside the Audi when she came into his view. He looked surprised by her outfit although it looked professional.
He literally spaced out for a few seconds before he quickly made his way toward her to help with her luggage, after she called his mind back.
