Chapter 1961: Chapter 1957: Where Are Your People?
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Frank immediately shook his head and said in awkward Chinese, "Your country has a saying, ’Isn’t it a joy to have friends coming from afar?’ I’m very happy to take care of old friends and their students."
"This is Jackson, my good friend."
Wang Zhongxia also quickly introduced the somewhat chubby foreigner beside him, "He’s a professor at Saint Yale University."
"Hello everyone."
Jackson waved with a smile, lasciviously eyeing Wu Xiaoxia and the others, "The girls in your country are very beautiful, just a bit frail."
"Tone it down a bit, our country isn’t as open as yours."
Wang Zhongxia gave Jackson a scolding look.
"Tang Ming, come and meet someone."
Jing Manlun pointed happily to the middle-aged man in a suit next to him, "This is my childhood friend, Hang Haisheng, who now works in administration at Yale University."
"Xiao Liu, this is Tang Ming, the teacher I mentioned. He’s the youngest faculty member at our university."
Zhen Aiguo also introduced the man in his thirties standing beside him.
"Hello, my name is Liu Guanqi, sort of your senior. Feel free to contact me anytime you encounter trouble."
Liu Guanqi extended his hand to Tang Ming.
"Thank you."
Tang Ming nodded.
"Tang Ming, didn’t you say you arranged for someone to pick you up? Your friend hasn’t arrived yet?"
Wang Zhongxia steered the conversation back, looking at Tang Ming playfully.
Others coldly sneered at Tang Ming.
"Serves him right! Showing off and now he’s embarrassed, right?"
Huangfu Tieling, chewing on a lollipop, looked coldly at Tang Ming.
"Tang Ming might be popular in the country, but this is abroad. Even our connections are limited; he couldn’t possibly know anyone."
Sun Kai frowned, helplessly looking at Tang Ming, "He’s really shot himself in the foot this time."
"Who says no one came to pick me up? They just haven’t arrived yet."
Tang Ming curled his lips in disdain.
"Tang Ming, we’re all colleagues, so stop pretending. Admit your mistake and take our luggage to the hotel, and we’ll drop it."
Jing Manlun adopted a magnanimous tone.
"Exactly! Being late to welcome someone at the airport, even if someone did come, they probably don’t think much of you. Just swallow your pride."
Wang Zhongxia mischievously advised.
"Why?"
The two foreigners looked puzzled, having no idea what was going on.
"Let’s just go."
Zhou Xiaoqian blushed, tugging at Tang Ming’s sleeve. She didn’t want to see Tang Ming bullied.
"Exactly, why pretend? It’s just humiliating."
Ling Jianjie felt ashamed, embarrassed.
"There’s really nobody coming, and you just made a call; how could anyone possibly come for that?"
Wei Renjia kept curling his lips in disdain.
"Who says no one is picking up Tang Ming?"
Just as everyone was staring at Tang Ming with ridicule and contempt, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out.
The crowd then was forcibly parted by a group of foreigners wearing sunglasses and suits, muscular and imposing. Following them was a tall, blonde beauty in a stunning red dress, confidently striding in high heels.
Seeing these people, everyone was stunned, including the other travelers and those at the airport, all captivated by the beauty and powerful presence of the newcomer.
"What’s happening?"
Wang Jingchao and others dumbfoundedly stared at the woman who seemed to have walked right off a magazine cover, unable to comprehend.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Jackson and Frank openly admired and appreciated the woman.
The woman walked straight to Tang Ming, and only then did everyone realize she was indeed coming for Tang Ming. What was even more jaw-dropping was still to come.
"Why are you just arriving now?"
Tang Ming complained, looking at the woman.
"Sorry, we ran into some parking trouble. Please don’t be mad."
The blonde woman playfully apologized, then directly hugged Tang Ming’s neck and kissed him deeply.
Tang Ming responded helplessly, the two engrossed in a passionate embrace.
"What’s going on?"
Those around were once again stunned.
"What’s the relationship between this woman and Tang Ming? This kiss isn’t just courtesy, is it?"
Jing Manlun swallowed, angrily cursing, "This is shameless!"
"Exactly, so shameless,"
Wang Zhongxia nodded repeatedly, feeling very displeased.
Wang Jingchao’s mouth twitched, not knowing what to say. Not only did Tang Ming have someone come for him, it was a stunning beauty, a foreign beauty with whom he was so intimately involved. It’s too...
"Oh my God! Tang Ming actually knows someone like this."
Ling Jianjie and the three others stared wide-eyed, feeling as if they were dreaming.
Zhou Xiaoqian and the other two were also somewhat unresponsive, surprised that Tang Ming wasn’t just putting on airs, but had actually contacted someone.
"President, was it you who said Tang Ming couldn’t possibly have connections in M Country?"
Sun Kai swallowed, uncertainly looking at Huangfu Tieling.
At that moment, Huangfu Tieling’s mind had short-circuited, not even noticing the lollipop dropping from his mouth. It felt too unreal.
In their reunion, Ruisi made no attempt to hide her longing and passion for Tang Ming, wrapping her legs around his waist as they kissed, skirt hiking, revealing much.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Seeing this, Zhen Aiguo couldn’t take it any longer, hurriedly coughing, "Tang Ming, you need to maintain your image. You’re representing Imperial University and the country now."
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Tang Ming hurriedly held Ruisi’s leg down, nodding awkwardly; knowing Ruisi, if he didn’t stop her, it might turn into a public scene.
"Old man, what’s it to you?"
Interrupted, Ruisi glared at Zhen Aiguo angrily.
"I..."
"No disrespect. This is the vice dean of Imperial University, also our exchange group leader."
Tang Ming quickly signaled Ruisi.
"Oh, so he’s your boss."
Understanding, Ruisi smiled at Zhen Aiguo, "Sir, you must take good care of my Tang Ming."
"Hmph."
Zhen Aiguo snorted with a displeased face.
"If you bully him, I promise you’ll never leave this land."
Ruisi sternly warned, shifting her tone.
"Alright, alright, do you believe now that someone came to pick me up? So I shouldn’t have to carry the luggage, right?"
Tang Ming quickly pulled Ruisi aside, uncertainly looking at Jing Manlun and the others.
The faces of Jing Manlun and others turned red with embarrassment. At this point, what else could they say?
They had come hoping to see Tang Ming embarrassed, not expecting the welcoming scene to be so grand and alluringly explosive. Who could handle that?
"Now that I’m here, why would you need to carry the luggage? Come, show our guests hospitality."
Ruisi turned to the group of men in black and commanded.
