Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 309 Old Friends, Friendship Remains

The aircraft landed.

Song Yufeng walked to the door at the back of the spacecraft, watching nervously as the hatch slowly opened. He didn't know who would come, he didn't know how to face them, he didn't know...

He closed his eyes, his legs went weak. He had never felt so uneasy, not even when facing Theresis, but now, just facing a former friend made him feel extremely depressed.

Finally, the cabin door opened completely. Song Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. Then he saw familiar faces looking at him, some smiling and some crying. His unease disappeared, and his anxious heart was completely relieved at that moment.

"Brother Song!" Xiao Cai rushed up crying and hugged Song Yufeng tightly. This seemed to set a precedent, and others followed suit, pouring out of the cabin and surrounding Song Yufeng.

Froststar, Little Rainbow, Provence, Melantha, Franka, Razer...

According to Song Yufeng, basically more than half of the cadres had come.

"Brother Song, I don't know what to do after you left... Why did you leave me? Why did you leave everyone?" Xiao Cai asked, her eyes filled with tears.

“Yeah, boss, after you left, although everyone is still keeping Minghuang running, it feels like something is missing. Many of the Imperial Guards are listless, and the joyful and relaxed atmosphere is much less.” Franka pouted.

"I'm really sorry everyone, I... do have some difficulties. Once everything has settled down, I will definitely apologize to everyone and explain everything," Song Yufeng said earnestly.

“I believe you, Song Yufeng,” Shuangxing said. “I believe you have your reasons.”

"Thank you," Song Yufeng said with a smile.

Xiao Cai wiped away her tears, then hugged Song Yufeng and said, "Brother Song, I missed you so much."

"me too."

"Song Yufeng, I'm glad you're all well." Old Master Xiao's voice came. Song Yufeng looked up and saw Old Master Xiao stepping off the aircraft. He had already weakened considerably in just this short time.

"Grandpa Xiao?! What's wrong?" Song Yufeng quickly stepped forward to support Grandpa Xiao.

“Ever since the battle of Saint Jun Fort, Old Master Xiao’s health has been gradually deteriorating,” Ya Ye said from the side, then took out some pills from her medical kit and fed them to Old Master Xiao.

"Sigh, I'm getting old. I know my time is coming. Under these circumstances, fighting a major battle would be too exhausting..."

“That’s not how it works, Mr. Xiao. By the way, I’ve already found your granddaughter, Xiao Jingyun.”

"Yun'er? Do you know where she is?" Old Master Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, I have found her, but it will be a little while before she can meet you. Please be patient."

"Alright, alright..." Old Master Xiao nodded with tears in his eyes, and then said, "By the way, I need to teach you more of my swordsmanship. It's too late for Yun'er to practice it now. The inheritance of this swordsmanship will depend on you from now on."

"Yes, Song Yufeng understands."

"Alright, I've finished speaking... It's their turn to speak." After saying that, Grandpa Xiao was helped to sit down on a chair by Ya Ye.

"The two of them..." Song Yufeng said, looking at the aircraft. He saw two women getting off, and he was stunned.

"Lin Yuxia... and Sister Shu..."

The three of them stared at each other until Lin Yuxia spoke up, "Song Yufeng, is there anything you want to say?"

“I…” Song Yufeng clenched his fists, then sighed, “All I can say is an apology.”

"Do you know, on the very day you left, Sister Shu came to see you, but sadly, you were already gone."

Song Yufeng looked at Shu in surprise, but Shu looked elsewhere.

"In the months you were gone, I managed on my own. Minghuang has now expanded to many countries and has become one of the most powerful business groups in this land."

“Yes, you did a lot for Minghuang in the past.” Song Yufeng looked down at his feet like a primary school student who had made a mistake, not daring to look Lin Yuxia in the eye.

Without a doubt, the person he felt most indebted to was Xiao Cai and Lin Yuxia. Lin Yuxia had sacrificed so much for him; it could be said that without Lin Yuxia, Minghuang would have been finished long ago.

"Without you, Minghuang would have been finished long ago." Song Yufeng finally spoke his true feelings.

Silence, yet, after the silence came her embrace.

“I’ve never blamed you. In fact, without you, Minghuang wouldn’t even have been born,” Lin Yuxia said, hugging Song Yufeng.

"You...you don't blame me? Then what happened just now..."

"I'm giving a performance review. The boss of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce is reporting to the President of Minghuang. Is there a problem?" Lin Yuxia's eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled as she looked at Song Yufeng. Song Yufeng's heart skipped a beat. He felt that Lin Yuxia was the most perfect woman in the world at this moment.

"No, no problem..."

“That’s it.” Lin Yuxia hugged Song Yufeng tightly again and said, “Welcome back, Song Yufeng.”

At this moment, Sister Shu hugged Song Yufeng tightly and said, "I don't blame you. Welcome back, Song Yufeng."

"Welcome back, Song Yufeng!" the others shouted in unison.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." No one could understand Song Yufeng's feelings. When he thought he would be blamed for abandoning everyone, he received everyone's understanding and tolerance. When he faced the people he owed, he thought he would be blamed, but he still received love and warmth.

Song Yufeng's eyes welled up with tears; at this moment, everyone felt happy.

“Alright, we can’t just think of ourselves. There are others too. They couldn’t come here because they had to stay in Minghuang.” Lin Yuxia took out the terminal and connected the video call.

"Song Yufeng! You've kept me waiting!" Inspector Chen appeared on the screen, looking annoyed.

"Ah, Inspector Chen? Shouldn't you be at Lungmen Police Station? Why are you at the Minghuang Headquarters?" Song Yufeng asked.

"Is that even a question? As soon as I heard Lin Yuxia was going to see you today, I rushed to the Minghuang headquarters, just hoping to catch a glimpse of you. Old Song, what you did was really underhanded—just leaving like that? I couldn't even find you!"

"I'm so sorry, Lao Chen. I'll make it up to you when I get back!" Song Yufeng said, clasping his hands together.

"Yeah, Song Yufeng, Old Chen really misses you," Hoshiguma said, appearing on the screen.

"Who's thinking about him? Go away! Don't talk nonsense!" Chen immediately retorted, then quickly left the screen.

"Song Yufeng." This time, Talulah answered the phone.

"Ah, Sister Tako, it's been a long time. How are the others in Reunion doing?"

"It's great, but everyone's feeling a bit lonely without you. When are you coming back?"

"Oh dear, I'll have to wait until I'm done with Victoria's business. Of course, if you want to see me, you can come find me when you have some free time."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"Song Yufeng! You little rascal, you've really become a busy man! You even forgot about me!" Old Li said as he answered the phone.

"Hey, Old Carp! Long time no see!"

"It's been a long time. I heard you had a reason for leaving, but I won't ask too many questions. I'm just glad to know you're doing well. When I have some free time, I'll come find you, and we really need to have a good meal together."

"Okay, okay, definitely!"

After speaking with other friends who couldn't make it, Song Yufeng hung up the phone, and Lin Yuxia said, "Everyone misses you."

"I know, but I'll say it again: I have to finish dealing with Victoria's matter."

"Can you talk to us, Song Yufeng? You're not alone, you should know that."

“I understand,” Song Yufeng said. “We’ll talk about this later… By the way, where’s Jingyu? She must be very busy, right?”

"Jingyu...you should be able to see her soon."

"What's the meaning?"

"Jingyu is currently engaging in diplomatic talks with several grand dukes, hoping to intervene in Londinium..."
