Chapter 173 Sending Off the Appointment, Visit to England
However, when he arrived at the principal's office, Chen Yu took several deep breaths before mustering the courage to knock on the door.

"Please come in," came Lin Yi's calm voice from inside.

Chen Yu pushed open the door and entered, seeing Lin Yi sitting behind his desk looking at a document.

Upon seeing him, Lin Yi put down the documents and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Ayu, you're here. Have a seat." He pointed to the sofa next to him.

The familiar address eased Chen Yu's tension considerably.

He sat down on the sofa, organized his thoughts, and then explained his ideas and what happened to his third uncle in detail.

Lin Yi listened quietly without interrupting.

He nodded only after Chen Yu finished speaking.

“Of course. Your third uncle has already helped us a lot. It’s only natural that you want to go to England and look for your relatives.” Lin Yi looked at Chen Yu and said calmly, “Besides, the dispatch of overseas branch school principals also needs to take into account personal wishes. We already have a cooperation plan with England, so sending you there is very suitable.”

Chen Yu was overjoyed: "Really? Thank you, Brother Yi!"

Lin Yi smiled and continued, "I will personally escort this batch of branch school principals to their respective countries. At that time, I will talk to the English side again and ask them to help you check the post-disaster survivor registration records to see if we can find any clues about your third uncle."

"That's great, Yi-ge, thank you." Chen Yu stood up excitedly, a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

"No need for such formalities." Lin Yi waved his hand. "When you get there, do a good job, and also be careful. Contact me anytime if anything happens."

"I understand, Brother Yi, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down," Chen Yu said loudly, puffing out his chest.

Watching Chen Yu's energetic departure, Lin Yi nodded slightly.

Sending these young people out to take on independent responsibilities is not only about expanding our influence, but also about honing their skills.

Those like Chen Yu, who carry personal burdens and responsibilities, may be able to move forward with greater determination and composure.

After Chen Yu left the principal's office with a heart full of gratitude and excitement, Lin Yi dialed an internal phone number as soon as the door closed.

"Qi Ying".

"Principal, please go ahead."

Liu Qiying's voice came through immediately, as capable as ever.

"I will adjust the original itinerary for sending off the principals of the various overseas branch schools, and make England the first stop. In addition, I will change Chen Yu to the principal of the branch school in England, and inform the English side in advance that I will send Chen Yu to his post."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication.

Originally, England was scheduled to be visited relatively late in the plan, with the first stop being neighboring Russia.

Liu Qiying was somewhat surprised that the principal would suddenly change his itinerary.

But he didn't ask any more questions, after all, it involved Chen Yu, a friend of the principal.

Liu Qiying immediately responded, "Understood, Principal. I will immediately coordinate with the foreign affairs department and the British side to adjust the arrangements."

"Okay." Lin Yi ended the call and turned his gaze back to the documents on the table.
-
Half an hour later, in the temporary government building in the Renton Tower settlement, far away in England, several formally dressed and composed high-ranking English officials sat together in a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

They had just received an official notification from the Xia Foreign Affairs Department via an encrypted channel—Lin Yi, the principal of Dongfeng Military Academy, would personally escort the first principal of the English branch of Dongfeng Military Academy to his post, and that he would arrive soon.

“His Excellency Lin Yi is coming in person,” a middle-aged official with his hair neatly combed said thoughtfully, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. “We must provide the highest level of hospitality and cannot afford to be negligent in any way.”

“The highest level of protocol is natural, but our understanding of Principal Lin Yi is limited to intelligence reports and descriptions from Adams and Elizabeth. Does he have any particular preferences or taboos?” another woman wearing glasses cautiously inquired.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, realizing they knew very little about this powerful Eastern figure who had risen like a comet and whose strength was unfathomable.

“Please ask Miss Elizabeth to come over.” The elderly man at the head of the group made the decision. “She was trained at Dongfeng Military Academy and had a teacher-student relationship with Principal Lin. She is also the person who knows him best.”

Soon after, there was a knock on the office door, and Elizabeth walked in.

She was still dressed in well-fitting casual clothes, her long golden hair was simply tied up, her face was beautiful but she had an aura of inviolability, and her body was faintly radiating source energy fluctuations.

As the undisputed number one power in England today, even these high-ranking officials treat her with sufficient respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what brings you here?" Elizabeth's voice was cold.

The leading official briefly explained the situation and then inquired, "Miss Elizabeth, we hope to greet Principal Lin Yi in the most appropriate manner. Does he have any preferences or things we should be aware of? Also, would you be willing to accompany us to greet him?"

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth, as a student of Dongfeng, naturally learned about the establishment of the overseas branch school immediately.

A look of understanding crossed her face, and she nodded slightly. "Since the principal is here in person, as a student, I should naturally go to greet him."

Elizabeth paused, recalling her experience at Dongfeng Military Academy, and continued, "As far as I know, the principal is a pragmatic person who acts decisively and dislikes tedious formalities."

"I suggest that the welcoming ceremony need not be too complicated or grand; simplicity and efficiency will suffice. He values ​​tangible results and sincerity in cooperation more than superficial pomp and circumstance."

The officials took careful notes, which matched what they had learned from other sources.

“Yes, thank you, Miss Elizabeth. Now, regarding the upcoming Principal Chen Yu,” another official asked tentatively, “do you know anything about him? So we can make some preparations in advance.”

Upon hearing Chen Yu's name, a smile flickered in Elizabeth's icy blue eyes. She nodded and said, "I know Chen Yu. He's a first-generation student at Dongfeng. He's very talented and his skills are improving rapidly. As for his personality, he's a bit easygoing, but he's reliable in crucial moments."

She paused briefly, then added, her tone slightly subtle, "Furthermore, as far as I know, he is a good friend of Principal Lin, and they are said to have a very close personal relationship."

"A friend of Lord Lin Yi?"

The officials were immediately moved and exchanged a knowing glance with each other.

This information carries significant weight.

This means that the young Principal Chen Yu not only represents Dongfeng Military Academy, but may also have the direct support and friendship of Lin Yi himself.

They need to be more cautious in their treatment of Chen Yu.

“We understand. Thank you very much for the information, Miss Elizabeth,” the elderly man at the head of the group said solemnly.
