Chapter 501: A traveler's necessity novel ”Legend of Wukong”!

Afternoon, a little past 5PM.

At the Wu residence.

Zhang Ye had driven up to the villa's doorway and gave a honk from his car before looking over at the direction of the villa. A moment later, the garage door was remotely opened by someone in the villa and he drove in to park the car. As Wu Zeqing's white BMW was already inside, there wasn't much s.p.a.ce left to maneuver and Zhang Ye took the entire day to get his car parked properly. He was mainly concerned about not scratching Old Wu's car since his own car was a bullet-proofed X5, which he didn’t need to worry about. Even if someone tried to scratch it, they probably wouldn't leave much of a mark on it.

He stepped out of his car and went into the house.

The door was left open.

”Sis Wu.” Zhang Ye greeted as soon as he stepped in.

A graceful figure standing in the open concept kitchen looked up. Wu Zeqing smiled and said, ”You're here? Come in and take a seat but help me close the door behind you.”

”Sure.” Zhang Ye closed the door and removed his shoes, ”Do you have any slippers?”

Wu Zeqing wiped her hands and went over to him, ”There's a pair that you used the previous time. I will go look for them.”

Zhang Ye quickly tried to stop her, ”Don't bother, I will look for it myself.”

”It's fine. You take a seat.” Wu Zeqing squatted in front of the shoe rack and opened it up to look for the slippers.

He hadn't seen Sis Wu in a while and Zhang Ye rather missed her already. Today, Wu Zeqing was dressed in a brown knitted sweater that seemed to be quite loose fitting and graceful at the same time.

”I found it.” Wu Zeqing took the slippers out.

Zhang Ye was about to change into it, ”Thanks a lot.”

Wu Zeqing held up his legs and put the slippers on him before going to wash her hands and to prepare a pot of tea for Zhang Ye. She placed a platter of fruits and sunflower seeds in front of him before returning to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner. She did not resemble a high ranking authority figure at all, but simply felt like a homemaker.

A while later.

The dishes were prepared and dinner was ready.

Wu Zeqing sat opposite of him, smiling and saying, ”Try it.”

Zhang Ye picked up his chopsticks and said a little embarra.s.singly, ”Sis Wu, you're being too kind to me. You're like this every time I visit, refusing to let me pour my own tea or help with preparing meals. I can't even help you with menial tasks like those and I feel quite bad about it. I can't always be freeloading off you this way.” He had rushed over, so he did not have time to stop by somewhere to get a little gift for the visit. The Brain Gold products in his car were clearly unsuitable since that product was from the company of Wu Zeqing's nephew, Wu Mo. If Sis Wu wanted any of that, all she had to do was to say so. Zhang Ye couldn't possibly present to Buddha with some borrowed flowers, so he came empty handed.

There were no wrinkles on Wu Zeqing's graceful looking face, none that could be seen anyway, ”I'm not fussy about such things. If there's someone to join me and accompany me for meals, I could eat a little more that way. Here, try this.”

”Hmm, it's really good!”

”Then have more.”

”Sure, I won't hold back.”

After the meal, Zhang Ye did not hesitate and insisted on was.h.i.+ng the dishes by taking them to the basin.

But as he was running the water, he got stopped by Wu Zeqing who was walking slowly over from behind. She gently pulled Zhang Ye away from the was.h.i.+ng area, ”Don't make Big Sis angry. Go out and watch TV.”

Zhang Ye said, ”I will wash the dishes, I will wash them.”

Wu Zeqing would not have any of his excuses and lightly pulled him aside, ”Step aside.”

Old Wu's arm was squeezing against Zhang Ye's chest and that made his heart skip faster. He did not dare to move a muscle against Old Wu, so he stepped back unwillingly and just looked on as Old Wu washed the dishes. He did not move anywhere and just stood at that spot to chat with her, ”I saw some luggage in the living room? Are you going somewhere or did you just return home?”

Wu Zeqing replied softly, ”I just got home. I had wanted to plan a trip somewhere during the new year, but not long ago, I received a notification to attend training at a Party training inst.i.tution.”

Zhang Ye asked, ”Are you going to get promoted soon?”

She replied, ”It's just a switch of roles and can't be considered as a promotion.”

Zhang Ye said, ”That's still some sort of a promotion, congratulations. Where will you be posted?”

”I still do not know the details, but for now, I am still considered to be a part of Peking University.” Wu Zeqing put down a place, ”If nothing goes wrong, I should be transferred to the South, to the Publicity department.”

Zhang Ye blinked, ”So far away?”

Wu Zeqing nodded, ”It's not near.”

”Why didn't they transfer you to another university?” Zhang Ye asked.

Wu Zeqing smiled, ”Big Sis was only at Peking University temporarily. As I did not start off in an academic role, I can't possibly be transferring around school postings. I've got experience in education, publicity work, and overseen city investor programs. After all these years, I've dabbled in all sorts of work before and do not mind being transferred to any kind of work. I will do whatever the organization arranges for me, but since the order has not yet been pa.s.sed, I might not necessarily be posted to the South.”

Zhang Ye felt a little unwilling to see her go, ”When will you be leaving?”
