Chapter 286: Peking University's Invitation!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

That night, outside the airport.

It was already 8:30.

Zhang Ye got out of the taxi and while walking straight into the airport lobby, the cellphone in his hand rang.

It was his mom. "Hello, son. Tomorrow is New Year's day. Are you coming home?"

"I'm coming back." Zhang Ye hiccupped from drinking as he chuckled, "I just finished treating people to a meal and I applied for half a month's leave with my Leaders. I'll be right back."

Mom asked, "Why is it so noisy on your side?"

"I'm already at the airport and I'm about to board." Zhang Ye had already booked his tickets.

"Alright, then I'll wait for you at home with your dad. We'll leave you some supper." His mom hung up.

The airport hall had a festive atmosphere. Many people were dressed in festive colors, either red or green. Many had smiles on their faces, as they had the anxious feelings of homesickness. By looking at their appearances, Zhang Ye guessed that they were a reflection of his current appearance. Having left home for nearly a month, this was the first time he had left Beijing for such an extended period of time. This New Years was a day that family gathered together, hence, Zhang Ye would rush home at all costs. It was also why he had been desperately finishing his self-assigned task of recording all of "Zhang Ye's Talk Show".

A holiday that spanned more than ten days allowed him to stay with his parents at home. He could also consider what to do after the following half month. However, he needed to count on his broadcasting application getting approved. Review, approval, and implementation would probably take a month or so before he could get it settled. Only then could "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" be restored. Hence, Zhang Ye first applied for half a month's leave. If his approval application was delayed, then he could even spend the Lunar New Year in Beijing.

After getting past security.

His tickets were checked before boarding.

Zhang Ye was in first class, so he did not need to line up to board the plane. First class tickets were expensive, and it was not Zhang Ye burning cash. It was because he had lifelong honors with China Airlines. He did not need to spend a single cent be it first class or economy class, and there were really no tickets for economy considering that it was New Years. Hence, it wasn't due to Zhang Ye deliberately trying to take advantage of China Airlines.

At the entrance to the cabin.

Two air stewardesses were standing by the side. They were professionally smiling while welcoming the passengers.

When Zhang Ye saw them, he was slightly stunned before he said in amusement, "Yo, what a coincidence."

The fat air stewardess on the left and the thin air stewardess on the right also saw Zhang Ye. Although he was wearing sunglasses, they could identify him immediately, having tethered on the verge of death together.

"Zhang Ye!"

"Teacher Zhang!"

The two people were pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Ye walked over, "It's almost New Year's and you're still working?"

The fat air stewardess smiled, "That's right. It's our job. The holidays are peak season for air travel. We have to service our passengers."
