Chapter 1021: Chapter 1030: Heartbroken (Part 1)
Avril cast a glance at Luo Susu, a playful smile on her face.
Luo Susu’s expression instantly turned cold, and she let out a slight snort.
"This is Henry!" Avril introduced the old man next to her to Lin Xi, who had walked over, "He’s the general manager here at the airport and will take you directly through the staff passage."
"Otherwise, it would be too time-consuming!"
Before Lin Xi could speak, the old man named Henry showed a flash of brilliance in his eyes and immediately displayed a flattering expression, "It’s my honor to serve you all!"
He was a smart person, not at all arrogant about his position. He knew that, in front of Avril, he was just a minor figure.
Lin Xi nodded, though, still offered a word of thanks.
As for Dili Bare, Xie Ziqi, and others, they were shocked.
After all, the airport manager was by no means an ordinary person to them.
Yet such a person was so polite to them.
It was undoubtedly due to Avril’s influence.
They hadn’t realized the extent of Avril’s power and the strength behind her family.
Then, Lin Xi’s group separated from Avril, Jones, and William.
With Henry leading them, it didn’t take long to reach the waiting room, something that would typically take at least seven or eight times the usual duration.
In the waiting room, Henry exchanged a few words with a staff member and then led the group towards a passage.
"Where are we heading?" Xie Ziqi noticed that the boarding gate was in the opposite direction.
The others were also puzzled, clearly realizing something wasn’t right thanks to Xie Ziqi’s question.
Of course, Lin Xi knew where they were going and explained, "I’ve refunded the tickets, and didn’t you notice?"
"When we were in the lobby, we didn’t even collect our tickets before coming in."
Dili Bare, et cetera, "..."
At this moment, they were utterly confused, not realizing the situation until Lin Xi pointed it out.
What’s Lin Xi up to?
How are they supposed to get back without tickets?
Did they come here for sightseeing without tickets?
"Don’t bother asking, just follow along!" Lin Xi said again.
Having spoken, he ignored the others and followed Henry ahead.
Dili Bare, Xie Ziqi, and Luo Susu exchanged a glance, realizing they had no choice but to follow Lin Xi.
They knew one thing for sure: Lin Xi wouldn’t harm them.
If he wanted to harm them, he could have easily found an opportunity any time.
Soon, they boarded the shuttle bus.
After about five minutes, a medium-sized airplane appeared, looking brand new and distinct from regular planes, though most present couldn’t pinpoint the difference.
If it were a car, they would understand some specifics.
But planes? They never imagined buying one because, even if affordable, maintaining it was another matter entirely.
However, Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi were stunned because they had flown on this type of aircraft before.
This was a Hawker 900XP!!!
A private jet featuring ultra-luxurious seating and service facilities.
This aircraft reportedly costs a billion RMB.
Of course, that’s just the plane’s cost.
Considering staff and maintenance, expecting something less than 200,000 RMB a day is unrealistic.
Such private jets are enjoyed by the top-tier rich.
And last time, they only boarded one due to a time crunch, hitching a ride with some big shot’s private plane.
Though that big shot had some designs on them, they have avoided contact since then.
"Are we in the wrong place?" Dili Bare couldn’t help but question Lin Xi, "This is the most luxurious medium-sized private jet!"
Xie Ziqi mirrored her sentiment.
Luo Susu, however, remained calm, having shown little surprise from beginning to end.
Lin Xi didn’t bother explaining, "We’re not mistaken; this is the plane taking us back."
His words silenced them, including Luo Susu and the dozen others.
"This is actually a private jet?"
"We’re flying back on this?"
"Am I dreaming? This is my first time on a private jet!"
"Me too...."
Immediately, several people began looking up information, using some aircraft markers to investigate online.
Their discoveries left them dumbfounded.
Unconcerned with their reactions, Lin Xi boarded the plane first.
There were five people on the plane, two men and three women.
Undoubtedly, these five were the crew.
However, Lin Xi felt puzzled; despite the men being relatively handsome, the women were average in both appearance and physique.
This was far from the flight attendant image he held.
After some inquiries, he discovered those three women were recently hired; the previous three were dismissed.
This decision was made by none other than Avril.
Well, naturally, Lin Xi understood Avril’s intention.
Was she afraid he’d flirt with the flight attendants? So she arranged these three? Is he that kind of person?
She judged him by a petty heart with a noble appearance, but he’s not a noble at all!
The others soon boarded, with the airport staff naturally handling luggage.
Once inside, dazzled by the plane’s luxury and greeted by the flight attendants’ warm smiles, they began to believe it was real.
In moments, Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi’s assistants and staff excitedly took photos and immediately posted them on social media, flaunting the experience.
Although Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi had flown once before, they were still thrilled; last time, they didn’t feel this free.
After bidding farewell to Henry, the private jet took off.
Gradually, the group settled from initial excitement, reclining in soft, spacious seats, browsing phones and playing games, courtesy of the onboard internet.
Lin Xi considered releasing the giant bear to let it experience flying.
But given its weight and the slight risk of losing control, it might cause a crash.
While confident in his abilities, falling from the sky would still mean a fatal impact.
Besides, there wasn’t enough room for the bear to lie down.
To accommodate the bear on future flights, the interior layout would need remodeling.
The current layout was excellent but wasted much space on flashy but impractical designs.
As he prepared for a nap, his phone buzzed with several messages.
The notifications revealed large transfers to his accounts.
His bank balance suddenly exceeded a hundred billion RMB.
Of course, he didn’t need to guess; these transfers came from people in the Holy Land.
However, upon deleting these messages, another unexpected message arrived, instantly dispelling his joy and plunging him into deep anguish.
It felt as if he had lost something significant.
Nearby, Luo Susu, engrossed in her book, noticed his disturbance and couldn’t help asking, "Are you okay?"
PS: Thank you all for the recommendation and monthly votes, and your continuous support; I’ll keep working hard.
