Hearing Tang Guoguo's words, Su Chu breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish exhaling, Tang Guoguo's next words almost choked her to death.
Tang Guoguo continued, "Brother, could he be my long-lost younger brother? You two are named Su Chu and Su Chang, so it must be him. Am I right? Brother, how clever am I?" Her face was beaming with a smug smile, and she winked at Su Chu.
Seeing Tang Guoguo's excited expression, Su Chu rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. He shook his head helplessly, then smacked Tang Guoguo's head in an annoyed tone and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? Su Chang was personally arranged by Zheng Fangxiu to be received by us. Do you know who he is now?"
Tang Guoguo pouted and muttered, "Who knows? Maybe he's just the stupid son of one of Longteng Group's important business partners." A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, as if she was very unhappy with Su Chu's treatment of her.
Su Chu immediately rubbed his forehead, thinking: Wasn't this hint obvious enough? He sighed helplessly and had no choice but to say directly: "He is the boss of Longteng Group."
"What? That can't be!" Tang Guoguo looked at Su Chu in disbelief, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside. Her eyes were filled with shock and confusion, as if she couldn't accept this fact.
About ten minutes later, Su Chu led Tang Guoguo back to the consultation room. Su Chu suddenly shivered involuntarily, a strange unease rising in his heart. He had a feeling that someone was full of malice towards him, and wondered which scoundrel wanted to harm him.
But he still tried to remain calm, pulled Tang Guoguo to Su Chang's side, and said softly, "Mr. Su, I just reprimanded my sister, and she knows she was wrong. She's here to apologize to you now, and I hope you can accept it."
After Su Chu finished speaking, she gently tugged at Tang Guoguo's sleeve, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Tang Guoguo understood immediately. She approached Su Chang respectfully, bowed slightly, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. What I did just now was wrong. Please forgive me." Her voice was sincere, and her eyes revealed a hint of remorse.
Su Chang pondered to himself that Su Chu must have told Tang Guoguo his identity, otherwise Tang Guoguo wouldn't have changed so much.
A slight smile played on his lips as he teased, "Little girl, are you still going to cover all my travel expenses?"
A blush instantly spread across Tang Guoguo's face. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying somewhat flusteredly, "No, I can't afford it. But, can I join the tour? I'll pay for my own expenses, is that okay?" After saying that, she blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Su Chang expectantly, her eyes sparkling with longing.
Chapter 278 Private Jet
Everyone was speechless for a moment, not expecting that this girl hadn't given up. Su Chu was about to scold Tang Guoguo, but Su Chang waved her hand to interrupt him.
Su Chang looked at Tang Guoguo, finding it somewhat amusing; this girl was truly persistent. He countered, "Do you know who we're going on this trip with? And why do you think we'd want to bring you along?"
Tang Guoguo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at Su Chang with a serious expression, saying, "I don't know who you're traveling with, but I'm a very famous singer all over Asia right now. I can sing for you for free during your trip." Her tone was confident, as if she was showing Su Chang her value.
Su Chang nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, this little girl is quite interesting. He smiled and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but the people traveling with me this time are all my women and their bodyguards. Do you think I would let a stranger join us? As for the free singing you mentioned, with my wealth, I can invite the original singers to sing for us at our destination, no matter what songs they want to hear. Why would I need to bring you along?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Guoguo's eyes, but she didn't give up. She bit her lip and mustered her courage to say, "Then Mr. Su, tell me, what do you want me to do to go on this trip with you? I'll agree to any condition if you just let me go on this trip with you." Her voice was firm, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Su Chang looked at Tang Guoguo, feeling a pang of emotion. She was truly willing to risk everything for Su Chu. He thought for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible for you to travel with us. We happen to be short a luggage porter. Would you like to come? But I must tell you in advance that we have quite a few people, and even more luggage. Think it over before you give me your answer."
Tang Guoguo's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. She jumped up excitedly and said without hesitation, "No problem, Mr. Su, I can do it." Her eyes were full of joy and anticipation. She was willing to do anything as long as she could be with Su Chu.
Su Chang smiled as she looked at Su Chu, a hint of envy in her eyes, and said, "Su Chu, I really envy you. You have such a wonderful childhood sweetheart. You should cherish him."
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, Su Chu's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural, and he felt as if a chill was rising from the back of his neck.
He was about to explain when Tang Guoguo interrupted excitedly, "Mr. Su, you have such excellent taste!" Her eyes sparkled with joy, seemingly very pleased with Su Chang's praise.
After being interrupted by Tang Guoguo, Su Chu felt a little anxious, but he quickly composed himself and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Su, you misunderstood. I only see her as a younger sister."
He kept glancing at Su Mang, hoping she would understand his true thoughts, but Su Mang didn't even look at him.
Su Chang glanced at Su Chu with a half-smile, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, as if he could see through his thoughts. He said softly, "You treat her like a younger sister, but she might not want you to just treat her like a brother."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Chu to explain, he continued, "Now that the route has been determined and the departure time is set for next Friday night, let's sign the contract."
Su Mang stepped forward, her expression serious. She straightened her posture and said firmly, "No problem, Mr. Su, I'll have someone prepare the contract right away." With that, she left the consultation room without looking back, her steps hurried.
Seeing Su Mang's expression as she left, Su Chu's heart sank. He realized that his hard work these past few days might be affected by this incident, and he was filled with anxiety and unease. He quickly apologized to Su Chang and then hurried after her.
Tang Guoguo pouted and muttered, "What? My brother actually likes this kind of old woman."
Although her voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached Su Chang and the others' ears. After hearing Tang Guoguo's words, the three of them sat there smiling without saying a word, their eyes revealing an unspoken understanding.
On the other side, as soon as Su Mang stepped out of the consultation room, she immediately instructed her subordinates to prepare the contract. Her actions were swift and decisive, as if she wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Su Chu also rushed out at this moment, his face filled with anxiety and unease.
"Su Mang, let me explain..." Su Chu's voice carried a hint of pleading.
However, Su Mang interrupted him coldly, "Su Chu, please address me by my title in the company, call me Director Su. You did need to give me an explanation for letting someone barge into the client's consultation room today. But let's talk about it after the client leaves. You can give me an explanation in front of everyone then. Right now, I don't want to hear anything, understand?" Her gaze was icy, making Su Chu shiver. After speaking, she walked to the side, distancing herself from Su Chu.
Su Chu was secretly annoyed, his brows furrowed tightly, and he cursed inwardly, "Why did Tang Guoguo have to come at this time of year!" As he thought this, he secretly glanced at Su Mang, only to see her standing there expressionless, seemingly unaware of his presence at all.
Su Chu's heart began to race. He knew he had to find a way to comfort the child's mother, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then walked towards Su Mang and said softly, "Su Mang, don't be angry, let me explain first, I..."
However, Su Mang didn't give him a chance to speak. She gave him a cold look, took the delivered contract, and turned to walk towards the (ccdj) consulting room. Su Chu's face showed a trace of helplessness and bitterness. He watched Su Mang's departing figure, his heart filled with anxiety and unease.
After signing the contract in the consultation room, Su Mang saw Su Chang downstairs and left. Although Su Chang was still eager to gossip, he knew now wasn't the time. He needed to take Fang Zhiheng and the others back to the Dongshan villa to inform them about the trip with all the women.
At 6:30 p.m. on Friday, a long convoy of black luxury cars drove into the private jet parking area of Shanghai Pudong International Airport and came to a steady stop next to a huge Airbus A380.
This Airbus A380, like a colossal steel behemoth, rests silently on the tarmac. Its broad fuselage, like a moving palace, exudes an awe-inspiring aura. Its wings, like enormous outstretched wings, are sleek and graceful, seemingly displaying its power and majesty to the sky.
The aircraft's fuselage gleamed with a silver-gray sheen, shining brightly under the night lights. The paintwork on the fuselage was exquisite and smooth, without a single flaw, resembling a meticulously crafted work of art. The uniquely designed nose section was rounded and dynamic, conveying a sense of unwavering determination.
The aircraft's landing gear is robust and sturdy, firmly supporting the entire fuselage. The tire treads are clearly visible, as if telling the story of countless takeoffs and landings it has experienced. The tail section soars into the clouds, and the markings on the tail fin are striking and clear, making it instantly recognizable.
The passenger door of the first car slowly opened, and Zheng Fangxiu got out gracefully. She gently opened the rear door, and Su Chang led Yang Tao and Fang Zhiheng out of the back seat.
With a smile, Zheng Fangxiu pointed to the Airbus A380 in front of her and proudly introduced it to Su Chang: "Young Master, this Airbus A380 was ordered from the European Airbus Group for 10 billion US dollars. However, because you needed it urgently, we bought a plane that someone else had previously ordered but went bankrupt and never delivered. Are you satisfied with that? We also ordered a new one, but the delivery time will not be until the end of next year."
Su Chang waved his hand dismissively, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and said, "It's alright, it's just a means of transportation. But where did you find the flight crew?"
Zheng Fangxiu quickly replied, "Young Master, since the plane has only been back for a few days, we haven't had time to recruit our own crew members yet. This time, the crew members were provided by China Eastern Airlines."
Su Chang nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and said, "Alright then, let me know when you're recruiting crew members, I'll come and take a look too."
Zheng Fangxiu immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, young master."
Yang Tao raised an eyebrow, pinched Su Chang's waist, and said irritably, "What kind of tricks are you up to now?" There was a hint of wariness in her eyes, as if she had noticed Su Chang's thoughts.
Su Chang rolled his eyes, muttering to himself, "This woman is really sensitive." But he said aloud, "This is a private jet, my own means of transportation. Do you expect me to hire a few ugly girls on board? That would ruin my mood!"
Yang Tao pursed her lips, clearly not believing Su Chang's words; her eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt. Fang Zhiheng quickly interjected, "Su Chang, it's not right for us to stand here. Let's go upstairs first." She wore a gentle smile, trying to ease the tension.
Su Chang smiled gratefully at Fang Zhiheng and nodded, saying, "Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for Fang Zhiheng's help in getting him out of the predicament.
Then, Su Chang waved to the women who had already gotten off the car and said, "Get on the plane, everyone." His movements appeared relaxed and at ease, as if everything was under his control.
Song Nuan suddenly reminded her, "Su Chang, some people haven't arrived yet." Her voice carried a hint of anxiety, and her eyes darted around.
Chapter 279 Conflict Erupts
Su Chang waved her hand repeatedly and said, "It's okay, Su Mang and the others will come up on their own later. My sister will take care of everything. Mengmeng said she'll fly directly to Chengdu to meet us, so we don't need to wait for her."
Song Nuan was relieved, and Su Chang led everyone onto the plane. As soon as they boarded, two outstanding-looking flight attendants were already waiting there with professional smiles on their faces.
"Welcome home!" one of the flight attendants said warmly.
A little later, another flight attendant led everyone into the cabin. The women, gazing at the luxurious interior, immediately launched into another heated discussion.
"Wow, this plane is so luxurious!" Wen Gao Ruohan exclaimed, her eyes wide open as if she wanted to take in all the extravagance.
Chen Nanxing chimed in, "Yes, this private jet is even more luxurious than the ones I saw online!" Like a child, she excitedly touched and looked at everything.
"The cabin decorations are absolutely exquisite!" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but exclaim.
“And these comfortable seats feel even more luxurious than first class!” Andy added.
Su Chang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The luxury of this plane is beyond imagination. I bet the other custom-made one is even more luxurious than this one."
The flight attendant smiled and said, "Dear guests, this aircraft is not only luxuriously decorated, but also equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment and communication systems. You can enjoy yourselves to the fullest during the flight."
Wen Gao Ruohan asked curiously, "Can we watch a movie?"
The flight attendant replied, "Of course, we have a wide selection of movies for you to choose from."
Chen Nanxing said excitedly, "Great! I was just looking forward to watching a newly released movie."
Led by the flight attendant, the group continued their tour of the aircraft, praising every detail.
“Look, there’s a little bar here. We can come over and have a drink,” Xu Li said.
"There are also these two bedrooms, so everyone has a place to rest when they're tired," Su Chang continued.
Guided by the flight attendants, everyone began to choose their seats, filled with anticipation for this luxurious flight.
At that moment, a Mercedes-Benz van drove up and stopped below the Airbus A380.
Su Mang, Su Chu, and Tang Guoguo each carried a suitcase as they came down.
Zheng Fangxiu immediately came forward, her face showing a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction. She urged, "Director Su, the young master and the others have already gone upstairs. You should hurry up too. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, making our young master wait for you."
A hint of embarrassment crossed Su Mang's face. She glared at Su Chu behind her, then quickly nodded and said, "I'm sorry, President Su. This was our mistake. I promise it will never happen again." She then picked up her suitcase and hurried towards the plane.
Su Chu was speechless for a moment. It wasn't his fault; Tang Guoguo was late. What did it have to do with him? But he still followed her immediately, his expression showing some helplessness.
Tang Guoguo was at the back, and she called out to Su Chu, "Brother, wait for me!"
Su Chu said irritably, "Hurry up, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming, and you even want to be a porter. Let's see what you're going to do next?"
Tang Guoguo said coquettishly, "Brother, please stop talking and help me." Her eyes revealed a hint of pleading.
Su Chu shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Su Mang had already entered the cabin, he turned back to help Tang Guoguo carry her suitcase upstairs.
Tang Guoguo said, "Brother Su Chu is the best." and immediately followed. Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if she had received the most precious thing in the world.
As soon as Su Chu and Tang Guoguo entered the cabin, a beautiful flight attendant immediately greeted them with a smile, offering to help them with their luggage. However, upon seeing the two, she exclaimed in surprise, "Su Chu, Tang Guoguo?"
Su Chu and Tang Guoguo also looked at the beautiful flight attendant at this moment, and Su Chu exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Shanshan!"
"Sister Shanshan! Oh, no, Chen Shanshan." Tang Guoguo called out "Sister Shanshan" first, then immediately changed her address, realizing it was inappropriate.
Chen Shanshan ignored Su Chu and instead glared at Tang Guoguo, thinking to herself, "This little girl is still so disrespectful."
She said, "You little brat, you have no manners! You don't call me Sister Shanshan, but you dare to call me by my name? Be careful, or I'll beat you up."
Tang Guoguo pouted, feeling somewhat resentful: "Chen Shanshan, you and my brother have already broken up, so why should I call you Sister Shanshan? Besides, I'm a passenger you're serving now. If you dare to hit me, I'll file a complaint against you."
Chen Shanshan pointed at Tang Guoguo, about to say something more, but Su Chu tugged at Tang Guoguo and said softly, "Guoguo, that's enough, let's go in first. Mr. Su has been waiting inside for a long time."
Tang Guoguo listened to Su Chu's words, and although she was still a little unwilling, she obediently nodded and agreed: "Oh, okay then."
Chen Shanshan didn't know what else to say, so she bowed and said, "Distinguished guests, please come in!"
Tang Guoguo made a face at Chen Shanshan, and then she and Su Chu walked into the cabin.
Upon entering the cabin, the two saw Su Mang standing in front of Su Chang, bowing her head and explaining something. Tang Guoguo immediately ran over, a fawning smile on her face, and said, "Mr. Su, please don't blame Director Su and Brother Su Chu. They were late because they were waiting for me. Blame me if you must."
Su Mang looked at Tang Guoguo with surprise, secretly astonished that she would stand up for her and Su Chu at this time.
Su Chang looked at Tang Guoguo with great interest, a slight smile playing on his lips. He seemed quite intrigued by her performance and asked, "I remember you're one of our baggage handlers this time. So, are you qualified to be a baggage handler?"
Tang Guoguo lowered her head apologetically, her hands clasped nervously together, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. It was my fault this time. I will definitely try my best to fulfill my obligations during the rest of the trip. Please forgive me." Her heart was filled with guilt and unease, worried that her mistake would cause trouble for Su Chu.
