C16 I Swear
The flight attendant offered repeated apologies with a blush of embarrassment. "On behalf of myself and the airline, I sincerely apologize for the poor experience you've had on this flight. If you have any further feedback, please feel free to submit a complaint to our service platform after disembarking. We value your opinion. Thank you for flying with us, and I wish you a pleasant journey ahead."
With that, the flight attendant turned and walked away, discreetly sending a text message from her phone where no one could see.
The message read — General Wang's request has been handled!
In the first-class cabin, Chen Miaomiao seethed over the misfortune of this flight.
For Chu Chenglong, it was a stroke of good luck.
But for her, it was nothing short of a disaster.
She vowed to herself to follow through with her complaint and swore off flying with this airline ever again.
Meanwhile, Chu Chenglong, now in the cockpit, was enjoying a unique experience.
He could gaze directly at the stunning clouds through the windshield, the view as breathtaking as a painting.
The captain and co-pilot were exceptionally friendly, sharing amusing anecdotes with him throughout the flight.
It's well known that captains are often characterized by their wit and professionalism.
Moreover, the most attractive flight attendant on board devoted herself to attending to Mr. Chu.
"Mr. Chu, would you care for some coffee? We've prepared our finest blend for you."
"Mr. Chu, are you experiencing any discomfort? I know some excellent massage techniques, if you'd be open to it..."
"Mr. Chu..."
Mr. Chu himself was thoroughly impressed.
This was sheer luxury.
He felt as if he were the president of the airline, indulging in the highest level of service.
Thus, he rated this travel experience as top-notch.
It was even more comfortable than his own private jet!
In a word, outstanding!
After deplaning, Chu Chenglong received another grand surprise.
All the flight attendants gathered to salute him in unison!
They called out, "A heartfelt thank you, Mr. Chu, for choosing our flight!"
This spectacle left the other passengers green with envy.
"Who is this VIP? My goodness, what presence!"
"I'm so jealous. He must be some kind of incognito mogul. So young and yet so impressive!"
"Look at that, the girl accompanying that big shot is stunning! Big shots really are a different breed!"
Chen Miaomiao, overhearing these remarks, was fuming with rage.
She, the heiress to the Prokned Group, was soon to be courted by the War God himself.
To be mistaken for Chu Chenglong's insignificant sidekick, that waste of space?
A bunch of blind fools!
She lashed out at Chu Chenglong in haste, "You worthless fool, it's all your fault! I refuse to be seen with you!"
She put some distance between herself and Chu Chenglong.
Someone nearby immediately commented, "Tsk tsk, looks like that sidekick isn't held in high regard by the big shot. See how she's made to walk so far behind."
Ahhhhh!
These shameless idiots!
Chen Miaomiao was on the verge of losing it.
Upon meeting Lee Moxue at the airport exit, she immediately recounted her ordeal.
Lee Moxue's face soured as she listened to Chen Miaomiao's story.
Chu Chenglong, on the other hand, greeted her as if it were any other day, "Auntie, it's been a few days. You're still as radiant as ever!"
Lee Moxue gave Chu Chenglong a scornful look, "You? The lucky passenger on that flight? Seems like that airline isn't far from going under, especially if they're pandering to trash like you... That's just too much."
Chu Chenglong was at a loss for words.
It was the classic case of getting the cold shoulder.
They then boarded an extended Lincoln, Lee Moxue's personal vehicle, complete with her own driver.
Whenever she traveled, she would have this Lincoln transported to her destination in advance.
This way, she could always enjoy the comfort of her own car, no matter which city she was in.
Inside the car, the mother and daughter initially ignored Chu Chenglong, engrossed in their own lively conversation, as if he wasn't even there.
"Miaomiao, be honest with me," Lee Moxue said with a mischievous grin. "Do you have any feelings for Lu Ling, the War God?"
Chen Miaomiao's cheeks flushed as she replied, "Mom, stop it! It's so embarrassing to talk about this, but... compared to certain useless individuals, Lu Ling is quite impressive. He even said it would be an honor for the Lu family if I could carry on their lineage!"
Lee Moxue nodded emphatically, "Yes! I'm quite pleased with Lu Ling. Miaomiao, you must seize this opportunity. If we can align ourselves with the Lu family, the Chen family will surely ascend to greater heights!"
She offered a knowing smile.
"If he shows interest in you, then don't hesitate to tie the knot with him as soon as possible. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Oh, Mom! I'm not really sure what you're talking about. It's so embarrassing..."
Chen Miaomiao blushed to the tips of her ears, her shyness palpable.
"That lowlife War God? Does he even deserve Miaomiao to bear his child? Auntie, you're practically throwing Miaomiao into a fire pit!"
Chu Chenglong couldn't hold back his comment.
Lee Moxue scoffed, "Is that so? It sounds to me like you're just green with envy. He's a War God, and if Miaomiao were to have his child, she'd be the mother of a War God's offspring. Do you, a mere toad, also fancy having children with Miaomiao? Ridiculous."
Something else crossed her mind, and Lee Moxue added, "The primary reason I invited you to Xotwell was to give you a glimpse of how real businesspeople operate. Don't concern yourself with anything else. Act as if you've heard nothing."
"Don't think I'm treating you like an outsider. I can make hundreds of billions without breaking a sweat. If you had that kind of capability, I'd promise Miaomiao to you this instant. She could serve you for life, even bear your children. But that's simply out of the question."
Chu Chenglong shook his head, "Auntie, you've got it wrong. I don't want Miaomiao to wait on me for life, nor do I wish to have children with her. I'm just saying that Lu Ling is an absolute jerk, and Miaomiao should steer clear of someone like him."
Lee Moxue shook her head in disbelief.
"Ah!"
"Young man, why can't you grasp this? Were you kicked in the head as a child?"
Miaomiao couldn't help but burst into laughter at the remark.
The driver also joined in the laughter.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
On the top floor of the Comobad Group skyscraper.
Wang Yunuo was lounging in the CEO's chair, legs crossed, the picture of contentment.
At this moment, the CEO of Comobad was bending over, standing next to Wang Yunuo.
He held a pot of hot tea, shivering all over.
"Mr. President."
Wang Yunuo's sudden voice startled the CEO of Comobad, causing him to shudder.
"I am at your service, General Wang. What are your commands?" he stammered.
Wang Yunuo tapped her finger on the table. "So, Lee Moxue has secured a cooperation project with Comobad, one that's worth several hundred billion in profit?"
She spoke with an icy tone.
