Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 45: Arrival at Sea City

  Chapter 45: Arrival in Haicheng

  In the arrivals hall of Haicheng International Airport, Duan Yue was anxiously watching the large screen on the wall, occasionally taking out his mobile phone to check the time. It had already exceeded the scheduled arrival time of the flight from Yangcheng by a quarter of an hour, but the plane had not yet landed at Haicheng International Airport. According to the airport's notice, the flight encountered severe thunderstorms en route and was forced to make an emergency landing at Jinshan Airport in Jiangnan Province, with an estimated delay of nearly an hour.

  Seeing Duan Yue's anxiety, Li'er reached out and grasped Duan Yue's hand, comforting him: "Don't worry, it's just a bit late"

  Feeling the soft and boneless fingers of Liu Er, Duan Lei forced a smile.

  Duan Yue did not expect that his parents and sister would take a plane to come over this time, and they even encountered thunderstorm weather, which made him somewhat worried.

  Fortunately, the airport side promptly disclosed the weather conditions and the direction of the plane, which made Duan Lei feel much more at ease. As the weather conditions on the route between Jinshan and Haicheng gradually improved, the flight was likely to take off soon, and it would not be long before they arrived in Haicheng.

  Duan Yun, who had been anxiously waiting in the arrivals hall for over half an hour, finally heard the airport's broadcast announcement that the flight from Yangcheng to Haicheng had landed safely. As soon as he heard this, Duan Yun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally fell into his chest, and suddenly the people coming and going in the hall seemed friendly and endearing.

  When he saw the figures of his parents and Qiqi appearing in the passageway with the crowd, Duan Lei's face broke out into a brilliant smile. From today on, they could finally live together as a family.

  After picking up his family members, Duan Yue let Li Er help them with their luggage procedures and went to the parking lot to pick up the car.

  The space of q7 is quite spacious, a car can hold a whole family and all the luggage, speeding along the way to Haicheng District.

  Duan Bingyi and Miao Lihua were alright, although they had never been to Haicheng before, but they had also been to many places. Facing the hustle and bustle of cars and people on the road, they still looked quite calm. Xiao Yatou was different, the largest city she had ever been to was only a county town, now seeing all these new and strange things, how could she not be constantly amazed?

  Lì ér also quite liked Qí qí, patiently introducing the scenery along the way to her. The relationship between sisters-in-law was quite pleasant.

  Duan Bingyi and Miao Lihua exchanged a glance, and just for the sake of making Qiqi so happy, this family was worth moving.

  "Xiao Kai, we're a big family, where are we going to live in Haicheng?" Miao Lihua suddenly thought of this as the car had already driven halfway.

  "Mom, let's stay in the school's guest house for now, and then find a suitable house nearby this afternoon. It will be convenient for Dad to go to work and Qiqi to go to school." Duan Lei skillfully manipulated the steering wheel and said without looking back: "As for whether to buy or rent, it's up to you to decide."

  "Alright, have you arranged for me to see Lui'er's school tomorrow?" Hearing that her son had already made arrangements, Miao Lihua didn't hesitate too much. After all, in the Duan family, these things were usually handled by Miao Lihua herself.

  "I've already found a suitable intermediary. In two days, I'll invite the principal of Fu Zhong to dinner and everything will be fine." Duan Lei said with a nod.

  The day he returned to Haicheng, Duan Yue thought about the accommodation of his family members, but was worried that his parents would not be satisfied with the house and location he had chosen, so he decided to wait until his family arrived before making a decision. As for Qiqi's admission to the attached middle school, it was even less difficult, even if Haicheng University Attached Middle School was a national model high school. Even if Zheng Kaizhong, Gu Yuliang and Xiong Yiping, these three people came out, they could easily handle it. Yesterday, when Duan Yue went to visit Gu Yuliang, he just casually mentioned it, and Gu Yuliang said no problem repeatedly.

  …………

  "Uncle and aunt, that factory building and construction site is the company's production and research base. Tomorrow, I'll have Shi Tou take you to see it." As the car passed by the base, Li Er timely became a tour guide and said: "A year ago, this was still a desolate place, but now, apart from the company's base, they are also building a large factory on the other side, which is invested and constructed by a partner."

  The large factory mentioned by Lui is the mirror metal processing workshop invested and constructed by Gu Yu Liang. Although it's called a workshop, it's actually a large production base. After obtaining a lot of new funding, Gu Yu Liang doubled the planned production scale, making the entire factory look quite massive.

  No way, during this period of time, 'Zhi Wu E' not only made a lot of gains in the market, but also entered the final evaluation of the 'Science and Technology Progress Award' in Haicheng, and it's no problem to win the first prize in Haicheng. As a mid-to-high-level manager at Haida, Gu Yu-liang naturally understands the scientific connotation of this 'Zhi Wu E' project, and it's possible that next year's national Science and Technology Progress Award evaluation may also win the national Science and Technology Progress Award, which symbolizes the highest science and technology award. In addition, the superior performance of mirror metal and the advanced technology of the 'Diamond Building' design have given Gu Yu-liang extremely high confidence in the technology provided by 'Makabiology', and he is willing to bring in more investment to try to open up the mirror metal market as soon as possible.

  Looking at the buildings under intense construction, Duan Bingyi and Miao Lihua felt an overwhelming sense of pride, all of this was created by their own son, a country boy who started from scratch in Haicheng, this international metropolis.

  Next to her, Qiqi looked curiously at the buildings surrounded by green protective nets, and her little head was still a bit confused. After all, she had just graduated from elementary school and there were still many things that she didn't understand.

  The road in the suburbs was pretty good, and there were few vehicles. Duan Lei spent less than half an hour driving to Haida, straight to the Haida Guest House.

  "Haida Hotel" is actually just a name passed down among Haida University students, because the four-star hotel that was previously called "Haida Reception Hall" and was invested in by Haida Holdings last year to build a high-end star-rated hotel not only serves Haida but also does external business, receiving guests from all over the world. In the past two years, with the continuous deepening of Haicheng's high-tech strategy, the development of Haicheng High-Tech Industrial Park has been rapid, and many large-scale biological, pharmaceutical, electronic, and computer enterprises have settled in, which has also brought prosperity to "Haida Hotel".

  Duan Lei booked a family suite here yesterday, and because it was booked under the name of 'Makabiological', they also enjoyed an 80% discount for enterprises in Haicheng High-tech Industrial Park, which made Duan Lei feel that the cooperation between government and enterprises in Haicheng is not bad, and many policies are quite humanized.

  First, I settled my family's luggage at the hotel and then took them to Liu Fu Restaurant for lunch, letting them experience the atmosphere of Haida. When Duan Lei first came to report in his freshman year, due to the economic difficulties at home and Duan Lei's persistence, Miao Lihua and Duan Bingyi could only see the appearance of Haida in the photos taken afterwards, so they were also very enthusiastic about Haida's architecture and scenery. Qi Qi opened her big eyes wide, looking at the girls around her who made her dizzy, because many of Haida's girls are on the cutting edge of fashion, which is not comparable to those in Tianzhou countryside.

  "Qiqi, turn around and let sister take you to buy clothes. Our little princess must dress up beautifully before going to Fuzhong school." Lier also understood Qiqi's thoughts as a girl.

  Yesterday, Duan Lei gave Liu Er a card and asked her to buy clothes for Qi Qi and her mother. After all, they have come to Haicheng, and they can't still wear the clothes from their hometown. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

  "Really?" Kiki's eyes sparkled with light, and she exclaimed in surprise.

  "Mm-hmm" Holding Kiki's hand, Li'er nodded.

  …………

  After lunch, Duan Lei took his parents to a nearby community to look at houses, while Li Er took Qi Qi out for a stroll, not having to worry about anything.

  As the Ocean University and many other colleges, middle schools and technical high schools moved to this university town, the surrounding areas were also favored by developers. Many high-end buildings began to emerge around the Ocean University like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, attracting many parents to buy houses. Of course, the main force buying houses in this area is still the top technical personnel and executives working in the High-tech Industrial Park. Compared with ordinary workers, these golden collars with technical dividends and management equity have higher incomes and pursue a higher quality of life. Therefore, the high-end communities near the Ocean University are their most preferred place to live.

  Duan Yue wanted to settle his family in Haicheng, naturally he wanted to take a step forward and directly set his sights on these high-end communities. Of course, the prices of these communities, which were tens of thousands of yuan per square meter, were something Duan Yue had never dared to think about before. After getting 'Ding Ding', within less than a year, he would become a member of this community, it was like a dream come true.

  "Stones, won't a community like this be too expensive?" Miao Lihua thought it was a bit too luxurious as soon as she drove up to the entrance of the building.

  In the community, there were rows and rows of villas, with all sorts of rare flowers and grasses everywhere. At the entrance stood tall and majestic security guards wearing crisp uniforms, making Miao Lihua feel a wave of wealth and luxury wash over her. Miao Lihua was not completely ignorant, she also read newspapers and watched news, knowing that house prices in Haicheng were all calculated in tens of thousands, even if this wasn't the city center, such a villa wouldn't be worth less than 7 or 8 million.

  "It's okay, mom," Duan Yue smiled and comforted his mother, saying: "The money we earn is meant to be spent. You and dad have worked hard for half a lifetime, it's time to enjoy some happiness."

  At first, Duan Yue didn't think of buying such an expensive house, but the rapid development trend of "Makabi Biology" made Duan Yue have no worries, even if it was just a mortgage, he could easily take down a house here, at most paying some interest, and repaying in two years.

  "That's okay too" Seeing her son's attitude was quite resolute, Miao Lihua couldn't oppose it and could only nod in agreement.
