Chapter 305 - 161: A Private Jet Arranged with Just One Phone Call?

Governor Gao emerged from his office and closed the door. He instructed that no one was to go inside and disturb them.

Inside the office, Jian Shiwai refilled Xu Yun’s cup with more tea. Smiling, she said, "President Xu, if you need me to handle anything, you could have just told me over the phone. There was no need for you to come all this way in person."

"I was just passing by, so I thought I’d drop in."

Xu Yun said, "It’s nothing major. It’s just about that foreclosed property I had you bid on for me last time. Is the paperwork all done?"

"It’s all done. The property deed and the purchase documents are all here with me."

Jian Shiwai replied, "I also took the liberty of changing the lock to a smart lock for you. The code is your birthday.

Do you want them now? I can go get them for you."

"No rush. Just give them to me when I leave."

Xu Yun asked curiously, "Manager Jian, are you married?"

"No."

"Do you have a boyfriend, then?"

Jian Shiwai replied with a smile, "I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t had time to look. Is President Xu trying to set me up with someone?"

"No, I was just curious."

Xu Yun stood up. "Alright, I won’t disturb your work any longer. When you have time, remember to teach me how to brew tea."

"Of course, President Xu."

As they left the office, she packed up the remaining Longjing tea from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Yun.

She then went to her own office, gathered all the documents for the foreclosed property, and gave them to him.

Finally, she walked Xu Yun all the way to his car and waved goodbye.

After everything was done, Jian Shiwai stood where she was, mulling over Xu Yun’s words.

’A man doesn’t just ask about your personal life for no reason.’

’In the corporate world, you learn to read between the lines. You don’t need someone to spell things out. A glance, a gesture, a seemingly casual remark... that’s all it takes to understand.’

’So, President Xu has taken a fancy to my tea-brewing skills.’

’As for whether I teach him or not, that’s my choice to make.’

’If I teach him, perhaps I’ll advance further thanks to my connection with Xu Yun.’

’If I don’t, perhaps I’ll just maintain the status quo. Or perhaps he’ll just find someone else.’

’I know how hard I’ve had to fight to get here since I graduated.’

’But life always presents you with different choices at a few critical junctures!’

’Choose correctly, and you’ll soar into the sky.’

’Choose poorly, and you might stagnate, or even lose everything.’

Xu Yun had no idea his casual remarks would cause someone else to read so much into them.

When he asked Jian Shiwai, he was truly just curious.

Although she was beautiful, he wasn’t the type of guy who used threats and enticements.

As for learning to brew tea, he really just meant learning to brew tea.

He thought Jian Shiwai’s technique was rather cool and flashy. After learning it, he could show off a little in front of his women.

He glanced at the property deed on his passenger seat, which made him think of Jiang Peiyao again.

’Of all my women, I seem to have spent the least time with her. After that one night in the car, we went our separate ways.’

’Should I just fly over to her right now?’

At this thought, Xu Yun didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately pulled a U-turn and headed for the airport.

Half an hour later, he was at the airport. He bought a ticket for the next available flight, a direct one to Rongcheng.

He was then led by an Eastern Airlines staff member to a private VIP lounge to rest.

Eastern Airlines had a partnership with Construction Bank. All of Construction Bank’s private banking clients were considered permanent platinum card members with Eastern Airlines.

After looking at his phone and reading a novel for a while in the lounge, Xu Yun was notified by a staff member that it was time to board.

As before, he enjoyed priority boarding, the perks of his elite status, and the most attentive service.

Once in first class, Xu Yun expertly reclined his seat, stretched out his legs, activated the massage mode, and went back to his novel.

「An hour later, it was dinnertime.」

A flight attendant approached, knelt beside his seat, and asked, "Hello, sir. What would you like to eat?"

Looking at the menu, Xu Yun replied, "I’ll have the Japanese eel over rice, the rich abalone soup, and the Sichuan pepper shrimp balls."

"Certainly. Sir, would you also like some red wine?"

The flight attendant smiled and explained, "We currently have twenty-one different varieties of red wine for you to choose from."

"Do you have Coke? I’d like it ice-cold!"

"Uh, yes we do, sir. Please wait a moment, I’ll bring it right over." The flight attendant seemed a little surprised; perhaps it was the first time a first-class passenger had asked her for a Coke.

"Thank you."

Sitting diagonally across from him not too far away, a woman who had been looking a bit listless immediately perked up after hearing Xu Yun’s voice.

At first, she thought she must have misheard. She stood up to take a discreet look at the man seated ahead of her and confirmed that she hadn’t been mistaken.

’It’s actually Xu Yun!’

’I can’t believe I ran into Xu Yun on a plane!’

Xino’s journey, which had felt a bit boring, suddenly became delightful.

’Isn’t this fate!’

But she didn’t plan to go up and greet him. Instead, she silently remained seated, observing him.

When the flight attendant asked for her order, she saw that Xu Yun had ordered an ice-cold Coke, so she copied him and ordered the exact same meal.

The flight attendant was a bit surprised to hear another passenger ask for an ice-cold Coke.

’What’s with the passengers on this flight today? Why is everyone suddenly drinking Coke?’

Halfway through the flight, an announcement suddenly came over the PA system.

Due to a sudden thunderstorm and severe weather ahead, the plane would be unable to land on schedule and was making an emergency diversion to Yudu International Airport, near Rongcheng.

’Ugh, of course this would happen.’ Xu Yun was speechless, but with no other choice, he had to accept the situation.

Led by the staff, the few of them from first class were taken to the VIP lounge at Yudu International Airport.
