Three days later!
Yangzhou, outside the Tang Group building.
This was a recently established conglomerate, formed by the integration of various Tang family businesses such as Haitan Pharmaceutical and Tang's Advertising.
Currently, the Tang Group was housed in an office tower next to Haitan Pharmaceutical!
Ever since Tang Xinwan took on the role of President of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, the entire Tang family's enterprises had seen a significant boost. With the establishment of the Tang Group, their rise had been even more rapid.
Tang Xinwan stood at the main entrance, gazing at the two towers standing side by side, feeling a surge of emotion.
In the past, she had single-handedly supported Haitan Pharmaceutical, striving to preserve the legacy of her parents' business, facing immense difficulties.
Back then, who could have imagined that she would one day lead Haitan Pharmaceutical, and indeed the entire Tang family enterprise, towards such brilliance?
The multi-billion Euro mega-project in cooperation with the Saudi royal family had already commenced and was proceeding smoothly.
The Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Tang Group, and even Tang Xinwan's name had graced the headlines across the nation. It could be said that the Tang family enterprises lacked nothing now, except for time!
Before long, the Tang family would become the leading family in Yangzhou. With this momentum, it was entirely possible they could rank among the top three in the entire Jiangnan Province!
It seemed that since meeting that fellow, her luck had been on an upward trajectory!
A faint smile touched Tang Xinwan's lips.
Soon, a hint of worry clouded her brow.
After so many days, he hadn't even returned a single call. She wondered if he was in danger!
"Sister-in-law, you really intend to go to the capital alone?"
Beside her, Li Dazhuang looked troubled and hesitated, "Big Brother specifically instructed me when he left to ensure Big Brother's safety!"
"It's alright, Dazhuang. I'm not going to the capital alone. I'll be fine!"
Tang Xinwan smiled and shook her head. Her trip to the capital this time was primarily because the branch company required her personal attention for business matters.
She had heard that Murong Yu had recently secured deals with two mid-sized pharmaceutical companies. If these truly came to fruition, the strength of the capital branch company would then rival Haitan Pharmaceutical, and perhaps even hold greater potential.
Therefore, she was going to finalize contracts!
As for safety, she wasn't overly concerned, as she wouldn't be alone this time; Gu Qin would accompany her.
Since Ye Cangtian had left, Gu Qin had been staying at her place and even accompanied her to the company every day, staying by her side.
On one occasion, when she was working late, Tang Xinwan encountered a mugging while driving home.
However, before those unfortunate individuals could get close, they were all subdued by Gu Qin!
Thus, Tang Xinwan felt very assured of this young woman's capabilities.
"Dazhuang, you should stay in Yangzhou! Your Big Brother won't blame you!"
Tang Xinwan offered further comfort.
Just then, Gu Qin drove up from the parking area. Tang Xinwan opened the car door and got in.
Glancing at the time, she had only an hour left until the flight's departure, making the schedule tight.
However, she noticed that Gu Qin was not driving. Tang Xinwan looked up and said, "Gu Qin, there might be heavy traffic on the way to the airport. Perhaps I should drive!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Qin staring intently ahead.
Tang Xinwan casually followed her gaze and was instantly stunned.
Two figures had appeared ahead. One of them was smiling brilliantly – wasn't it the person she longed for day and night?
They got out of the car.
Ye Cangtian grinned and said, "I'm back!"
Tang Xinwan was about to say something but quickly let out a soft huff, "You're back, so you're back. Do I need to throw a celebration banquet for you?"
"A celebration banquet isn't necessary. Aren't you going to kiss me to show how much you missed me?" Ye Cangtian laughed.
"I don't miss you!"
Tang Xinwan replied, her pretty face flushing. This fellow was still so indecent, in front of so many people.
If you aren't embarrassed, I am!
She quickly averted her gaze, instead looking with surprise at a woman standing beside Ye Cangtian. Although the woman's face was covered by a veil, Tang Xinwan felt a sense of familiarity.
Looking at Gu Qin beside her, who was staring intently at the woman, Tang Xinwan suddenly realized something.
Is she Gu Yue?
At this moment, Gu Yue was also gazing fixedly at the girl opposite her, who bore a striking resemblance to herself. Her body began to tremble slightly.
She reached out and gently pulled aside the veil covering her face, her lips trembling.
"Sister..."
This was her sister. Although they hadn't seen each other for over a decade, and she was quite young when they were separated, Gu Yue recognized her instantly.
Gu Qin, however, remained silent. She looked at Gu Yue opposite her, somewhat bewildered and unsure of what to do.
After a long pause, she hesitantly asked, "Are... are you really my sister?"
"It's me, I really am your sister!"
Gu Yue, usually so strong, now had tears welling up in her eyes, her emotions overwhelmingly stirred.
She had always believed she was the only one left in the world, that all her relatives had died that year. It wasn't until Ye Cangtian had told her in the ruins that he had found her sister.
While she had been hopeful then, she wasn't as moved as she was now.
Gu Yue took a deep breath, calming her emotions, and soon a slight smile appeared.
"Qin, do you remember the wooden horse?"
"Wooden horse..."
Gu Qin tried to recall, her body soon trembling.
In the memories sealed away for years, she seemed to recall this name that had left such a deep impression.
Gu Yue smiled and said, "When we were little, Mom and Dad took us to the carousel. You loved it very much, but Mom and Dad were busy and didn't have time to take you. So I used all my pocket money to buy you a wooden horse."
Gu Qin was very young then and often cried.
But after getting the wooden horse, she adored it and took it everywhere she went!
As Gu Qin listened to Gu Yue recount childhood memories, tears streamed down her face.
"Sister!"
Finally, she broke down sobbing and threw herself into her sister's arms.
After a while.
The two sisters finally settled down after their reunion. Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Alright, you two will have plenty of time to catch up later."
He had heard from Tang Xinwan about her trip to the capital and knew time was running short.
Gu Yue and Gu Qin exchanged glances and nodded.
Although they had many things to say, they also knew that now was not the time for reminiscing. They soon got into the cars one after another.
"Dazhuang, thank you for your hard work! Sister-in-law and I are leaving now."
Ye Cangtian patted Li Dazhuang's shoulder, then turned and got into the car, heading directly towards the airport.
In the passenger seat.
Tang Xinwan checked the time and said, "There are still more than forty minutes left. I don't think we'll make it in time. And I haven't booked your tickets..."
"That's not a problem! Leave it to me."
Ye Cangtian smiled, driving the car, and took out his phone to make a call.
Soon, he explained his request to Secretary Liu, who was in the capital.
On the other end of the line, Secretary Liu was speechless!
Calling me to get you plane tickets? You're probably the only one in the entire Dragon Group who would do something like this!
Although Secretary Liu was exasperated, he readily agreed and assured him that arrangements had been made.
