Dont Turn From Summer Chapter 19 (2/2)

“Thank you, school brother [1]” Cheng Weiwei s quite often You won’tyou sometimes, will you?”

[1: The way Cheng addresses Lin here is typically Chinese In old ti the apprentices who follow the same master Nowadays, as in this novel, it more commonly means a fellow student in the sains earlier than oneself A strict word-for-word translation could be ‘big brother in study’ But it sounds very odd to e it to ‘school brother’ I also don’t want to change it to his name or other unrelated words as other translators did in earlier chapters, because I think here it is used by Cheng particularly to emphasize their special relationshi+p]

Lin Mochen has only a slasses on his eyes, he s Chen in the future Welcome to visit often”

Cheng Weiwei smiles with satisfaction They stand at the entrance of the security checkpoint, people co all around theht suddenly pops up in herout of politeness?

But he just nods slightly to her and turns to enter the checkpoint without a bit of hesitation

Cheng Weiwei gazes on until he disappears fro and landing She thinks, the battle at Yong Zhengby such aChen, his enterprise in China, is just taking off

Lin Mochen takes a short nap on the flight and suddenly wakes up He looks out of the narro and sees the piling clouds and the tiny constructions on the ground All of a suddenly, he thinks of Mu Hanxia

Since that day, they haven’t contacted each other He heard that she has resigned fro

An attitude of bidding farewell to everything and being through with him

At this thought, the corner of his mouth shows a little trace of cool smile

As soon as the plane lands, he takes out his cellphone, holds it in his hand for a moment, and finds her number

“Coer”

But after a long ti, the cellphone has been quiet She hasn’t replied

Lin Mochen is suddenly a little angry He throws the cellphone on the couch and checks it no more

In the afternoon, Lin Mochen is drinking coffee in his office Thepushed forward But it’s not ti out yet So he is still quite at leisure

The secretary knocks on the door and walks in, with a puzzled look on her face: “Chief Lin, someone is here for an interview”

Lin Mochen says coolly, “When did I want new hires?”

The secretary’s expression is even more puzzled, “But Chief Lin, she said you asked her to come”

Lin Mochen is surprised momentarily and suddenly smiles, “Let her wait in the reception room”

Mu Hanxia didn’t know that Lin Mochen would let her wait for three hours Only when the sun is setting and the rosy color tints up the whole reception rooant secretary come back into the room and says, “I’ot any free time until now Please come with me”

Even though Mu Hanxia gets a little restless with the wait and doubts whether Lin Mochen has left her in the cold on purpose, she ss it up and follows the secretary to his office
