Zhou Mengdie didn't think too much of it. When she got home, she told her parents about her upcoming business trip to the United States.
After exchanging a glance, Zhou Mengdie's parents asked, "Why the sudden business trip to the US? Does your company have operations there?"
"Our boss plans to set up a branch office. We'll have many investment plans in the US in the future," Zhou Mengdie explained.
"How long will this business trip be? Besides you and your boss, is anyone else going?" Zhou Mengdie's mother inquired further.
"Of course! A whole team of us is going, at least a dozen people," Zhou Mengdie replied. "As for how long the trip will be, that's uncertain. I suppose we won't return until we've handled everything there. It could be as short as one or two months or as long as half a year."
"That long for a business trip? Why don't you just resign and not go?" Zhou Mengdie's father said uneasily.
