The process of filling out the college application was quite simple. After Qin Hua had filled everything out, he hadn't even had time to submit it when Yu Qing walked in amidst the teasing gazes of everyone around. Feng Xin tactfully sat aside, and after Yu Qing took her seat, he smiled and said, "I'll take a look, so you big dummy doesn't make any mistakes."
"I won't make any mistakes," Qin Hua replied with a smile.
Though he said that, he still handed the application form over to Yu Qing. After she carefully checked it from beginning to end, she nodded contentedly and said, "Alright, no problems!"
After submitting their applications, the two didn't linger long at school. Xiao Haolong and the others also came out soon after, and after exchanging greetings, the four left together. The two strolled leisurely home, chatting and laughing along the way. Most of the time, Yu Qing spoke about her aspirations for university life and some beautiful assumptions, while Qin Hua listened with a full smile. When Yu Qing got tired of talking, Qin Hua laughed and said, "Qing'er, let's go to Yanjing City on August 20th."
"So early? Usually, classes start around the 25th," Yu Qing said, puzzled.
Qin Hua smiled and said, "It's because an elder in the family is urging me to take you there."
"Your parents?" Yu Qing's face turned red as she asked instinctively, referring to the latest updates of "Talented Doctor."
Qin Hua shook his head and smiled, saying, "My parents are still abroad; I don't even know if they'll return. We're going to see my grandfather who raised me since I was little."
"Okay," Yu Qing nodded, very delighted.
After the two returned home, Bai Xuan had already started packing her luggage, clearly eager to leave. And after sitting for a while, Yu Qing went home as well. Since they were heading to Lhasa, it was natural to prepare their luggage properly. Ye Lingbing and Qi Lian had already packed lightly, just a small bag with some personal clothes, very convenient. Unlike Bai Xuan, who wanted to bring all sorts of toothbrushes and toothpaste. If Qin Hua and Qi Lian hadn't jointly persuaded her, this woman might have dared to carry a mirror too.
After further persuasion and considering the amount of luggage, Bai Xuan finally reduced her items until it was comparable to Qi Lian's group. Qin Hua's preparation was even simpler; he just grabbed a travel bag and stuffed in a couple of clothes, and that was it. As for the rest, they could buy them once they arrived in Lhasa. This was a trip, not a relocation. Since it was a trip, they should travel light and enjoy themselves.
After the four had finished packing, they locked the door and went downstairs to wait for Yu Qing. Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Xuan approached Qin Hua and suggested driving to the airport, asking him to open his garage, as one Beetle couldn't accommodate so many people. Qin Hua just rolled his eyes and helplessly said, "I've told you, it's just a broken-down car, probably can't even run. Why do you insist on opening it? You've given more than eighty reasons. Aren't you tired?"
"A broken-down car and you won't even let me see it. Don't you know women are naturally curious?" Bai Xuan immediately complained.
Qi Lian also nodded beside her, saying, "Exactly, a car can be fixed and driven, no need to take a taxi. Just park it in the airport parking lot, it'll be convenient when we return."
"The keys are lost," Qin Hua simply sat aside, lit a cigarette, and said, "Can't open it. Is that fine?"
After hearing Qin Hua say this, the two women looked down on him, then pulled Ye Lingbing aside to chat quietly. Not long after, Yu Qing had already arrived, her father driving her there. After getting out of the car, she waved to Qin Hua, then dragged him aside and eagerly reached into his pocket, taking out a cigarette, lighting it, and putting it in her own bag. Qin Hua sighed and rolled his eyes again, thinking how polite his future father-in-law was! And how powerful his mother-in-law was! She could suppress a seven-foot man like this, not even having money to buy a pack of cigarettes. Father-in-law, where did your secret stash go?
"To Lhasa, take care of Qing'er. If anything happens, I'll hold you accountable!" Yu Fang warned sternly.
Qin Hua helplessly nodded but couldn't help wondering if after marrying Yu Qing, she would inherit her mother's mannerisms and suppress him into being like Yu Fang. That would be too miserable! Apparently noticing Qin Hua's thoughts, Yu Fang patted Qin Hua's shoulder with a smile and said, "You'll understand after you get married."
Qin Hua glanced at Yu Qing, and upon seeing her smiling face, relaxed a bit. His wife was still quite gentle.
After Yu Fang left, Bai Xuan called two taxis. They got in and headed towards the airport. On the way, Zhao Lan's call came through again.
"Although Xu Tiange has been arrested, that mysterious person still warned us not to attack Xu's company, or else they would take some unnecessary measures. This time, he didn't directly interfere with Xu Tiange's release from prison, but..." Zhao Lan sounded troubled. Just by attacking Xu's company, they had already faced considerable external pressure. It seemed that the person behind Xu Tiange also gave Zhao Lao a face, allowing him to arrest Xu Tiange but requiring him to save face. And the ladder meant protecting Xu's company.
Qin Hua had foreseen this and smiled, saying, "Don't put too much weight on what others say. Since that person can step back once, I naturally have ways to make him step back twice."
Zhao Lan thought Qin Hua made sense and said, "Alright, I'll try my best to support. You know, commoners shouldn't fight against officials, otherwise, it's like moths flying into fire, leading to self-destruction. If the external pressure increases again, we may not even be able to move against Xu's company before being crushed by others."
"Alright," Qin Hua smiled and said.
After hanging up the phone, he sighed. Yu Qing noticed and concernedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing serious, just a little disagreement among friends," Qin Hua smiled and said, not wanting Yu Qing to worry, so he didn't tell her the truth.
Yu Qing nodded and didn't ask further. She comfortably leaned on Qin Hua's chest, ready to take another nap, as it would take an hour to reach the airport. Meanwhile, Qin Hua pondered whether to use Grandpa Ye's influence again. However, such struggles for power annoyed Grandpa Ye greatly. He had already helped once, so it was better not to bother him again. As for Old Zhao, what he had done was already the best. There was no need to let himself succeed in bringing down Xu's company.
