Beloved Enemy

Chapter 89

[Two years later]

GuQingPei had just gotten out of the airport when he was struck by the heatwave, gasping as he carried the suitcase with sweat starting to run down his body. The summer heat in Beijing is usually hot, especially during the hottest periods of the summer (mid-Jul to mid-August).

The driver that WangJin sent to pick him up had just called to inform him that the car broke down along the way and asked him to wait for a while. The young man's voice sounded especially anxious, as if he was about the cry. He figured that since he's new; he was afraid of getting punished. GuQingPei consoled him and said that he'll wait in the terminal for him.

Originally, he (GuQingPei) had wanted to stand outside and breathe in the familiar Beijing air since his long absence. But, after standing for a while, the heat was unbearable and the air quality is also not good, so he returned back to the hall toward the cool air with air conditioner.

He had just found a cafe to sit down when WangJin called.

"QingPei, you've arrived."

"Yeah, just arrived."

"I am sorry. There are a lot of stuff going on at the company. The driver that went out is a probationary driver. I didn't think such unexpected mistake would happen. Just wait for a bit. I'm now twenty minutes away from the airport. I've just finished work and will come to pick you up."

GuQingPei, "Wang Ge, you don't have to pick me up. The car breaking down is an unexpected accident. I'll just wait. If not, I can just take a taxi. This is the worst traffic time. Even though it says twenty minutes, you may not be able to get here in an hour."

WangJin laughed, "Even if it's an hour, I want to be the first one to see you."

GuQingPei laughed loudly, "Okay then, come."

In the time span of two years, WangJin's glib tongue habits still has not changed but GuQingPei was finally able to open his heart and accept him as his friend. During the past two years, he and WangJin met several times and he even became familiar with WangJin's two lovely children and his wife, whom had separated from him for seven to eight years. He saw many different sides of WangJin. WangJin had slowly stopped his intense pursuit after GuQingPei's constant cold attitude.

Although they've met only a limited number of times, they often talked on the phone about work. The relationships between the two men were much more honest and close than two years ago.

Before he returned to Beijing, he had a deep communication with WangJin. He decided to resign. He felt that whether it was having the capital, social networks, or abilities, now is really the perfect time. Even the age of 35, it is just right. He wanted to venture out alone (have his own company).

Two years' time should be enough for most people to forget a lot of things. He believes he can startup once again.

At first, WangJin strongly tried to keep him. After all, he turned a normal trading company in Singapore to ten times its capacity in a little more than one year's time. Not anyone can do this, GuQingPei is a rare talent. But GuQingPei has already made his decision. Although he felt that it's a great pity, he ultimately respected GuQingPei's choice.

Such people like GuQingPei are not destined to work for others for life. Once he has sufficient abilities, he will definitely go solo.

Now that time has come.

The traffic situation is better than both of their projections; WangJin arrived half an hour later.

Once the two met, WangJin gave him a big hug. Both are tall, handsome and elegant men so they attracted a lot of attention at the airport's entrance.
