Chapter 1878 - 1878: Study Hard

No one had any doubt about Xia Hes capability. Since Deng Fan had no objections, this matter was settled. As for the matter of hiring a helper, they could look into it later.

Everything went according to plan. Xia Wen quickly settled the pa.s.sports for Xia He and the three children. Qiao Mei also received all the information for her exchange program. Everything was in place and she would be able to leave the country in a week to study overseas.

Xia Wen brought a briefcase to Qiao Meis study. He not only brought the necessary doc.u.ments for her, but also 10,000 dollars in foreign currency.

Take this money. Its a little difficult to get foreign currency now. Give me some time to find a way. When I manage to change more money, Ill transfer it to your account. This is the new bankcard I got for you. You can use this when youre there, Xia Wen said as he took out a bankcard.

In this era, anyone who went to the bank to change for foreign currency could only transact up to 50 dollars. Qiao Mei had asked someone she knew well to help her change some foreign currency, but the most she could get was 2,000 dollars. She could only imagine how much manpower and resources Xia Wen had to expend and how many favors he had to owe to change so much money for her.

Its fine. When I get there, Ill still think of ways to earn money! Dont worry, by the time I come back, we might have already bought many properties there. In the future, we can all go there for a vacation together, Qiao Mei said with a smile.

I dont know what to say about you. You really think about earning money no matter where you go. Youre going there to gain more knowledge this time. You have to learn all the advanced technology from overseas. You dont have to worry about money. Ill make the arrangements at my end! You have to remember what I say, do you hear me? Xia Wen said.

Eldest Brother, I remember everything, Qiao Mei said earnestly.

I have found three helpers for you. Two of them will take care of the children and one will take care of you and Xia He. Im actually quite worried about her going with you. Shes not really a meticulous person. If she does anything inappropriate there, call me and Ill reprimand her, Xia Wen said.

Xia He is not that unreliable, Qiao Mei said.

There are many times when shes unreliable! Dont worry, Ill come over to your house and visit Auntie and Grandpa Qiao from time to time. Even if I

dont have time, theres always MO Zhu. Grandpa Qiao likes to play chess with MO Zhu. Ill get her to come and accompany Grandpa Qiao whenever shes free, Xia Wen said.

Ill have to trouble Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law with this matter, Qiao Mei said guiltily.

It was easy for her to just pack and go, but there were still many things to take care of in the capital. Not only was there no one to take care of Qiao Qiang, she was also leaving behind the factory and Li Gui and the others. Xia Wen had to shoulder all the responsibilities for her.

Theres no need to be so polite. Were a family. Study hard there and see if you can come back early. Remember that your family is still waiting for you here, Xia Wen said reluctantly.

He could not bear to part with the children the most. He liked Xia Fan, Xia Xing and Xia Yue very much. The children would be gone for so long and he wondered what they would look like when he next saw them. Children grew up very quickly. By the time Qiao Mei returned, they would be almost three years old.

If people who received overseas education did not return to the country in time, they would likely develop different ideologies from those people who stayed in the country. Therefore, the Xia family did not want their children to stay overseas for too long.

Qiao Mei also promised the family that she would only go overseas to study and that she would return immediately once she completed her studies and would not settle down overseas. Only then did Xia Jun feel at ease enough to let them go.

The bodyguards accompanying them were Luo Yu and an unfamiliar face. The stranger was a new joiner to the guard team and was actually Luo Yus younger brother, Luo Hui. The two brothers were both not married yet, so by sending them out together, they could take care of each other.

All the people going with you are all people we can trust. When the time is right, Ill send a few more bodyguards over, Xia Wen said.

l think its enough to just have them around. Its already very showy for such a big group to travel together. I dont want others to think that Im getting special treatment. Theres also Xia He around to protect me! Eldest Brother, dont worry too much, Qiao Mei said, trying to comfort him.

Alright, be careful along the way, Xia Wen said sternly.

On the day of Qiao Meis departure, the entire family came to the airport. The other exchange students were at the airport on their own with one suitcase each. They were stunned when they saw the large group of people with Qiao Mei..
