Doniya had arrived.
She came by plane and had just landed at the airport.
She didn't know a soul here, aside from her friend, Shen Xin.
So, what could he do? She'd already called, so Shen Xin had to be her host.
He had planned on going back to the branch office first to drop off the carload of birds, and Ding Yuwei.
But she said there was no rush. If they went back now, she'd just be waiting for the end of her shift anyway.
At the city bureau, if you weren't actively working, things could be pretty relaxed.
He signaled to the car in front of them, then turned onto the expressway toward the airport.
On the way, Ding Yuwei asked why Doniya had come to Nanjiang and if something was up.
She watched Shen Xin without blinking.
Shen Xin shook his head. "I have no idea. I haven't been in much contact with her since I got back from Suihar."
And he'd never heard about Doniya having any relatives in the South.
