Chapter 183 A Swarm of Bugs Landing

, how long have you been watching If you're a man, come out here!"Wang Haoran, who had been observing this scene coldly, was initially taken aback. His personality didn't incline him toward heroically...Chapter 183: A Swarm of Bugs Landing

Zhong Xue soon returned, walking through the cabin with a professional smile on her face. Even Zhao Weixin's two male flight attendants, who were prepared to intervene if he acted recklessly, found this situation puzzling.

The girls were all on edge, and once Zhong Xue entered the crew compartment, they pulled her aside and asked, "What happened"

Zhong Xue's expression darkened as she told Wu Shirui, "Zhao Weixin has a man from Beijing's Planning Commission with him. He says he’s cold and wants you to bring a blanket."

Bringing the blanket didn't need to be specifically assigned to Wu Shirui; there was clearly an ulterior motive behind this request.

The completion of overseas financing would lift the company's market value to unprecedented heights. For Big Apple Holdings, which holds dual shares in American and Chinese Facebook, being under the spotlight is no longer just about gaining national attention but more importantly, supporting Huacheng Phoenix Industries' development, providing significant backing for Su Licheng’s governance.

Just think, if a heavyweight coal enterprise within the province could be established from Su Licheng's hand, how great would that political achievement and honor be

All of this was interconnected, like nine interlocking rings through Su Can's Big Apple Holdings.

"When it comes to business, he’s completely different, acting as if he’s the mastermind. It’s just like before; it’s really annoying," Lin Luoran said disdainfully from behind.

"I hope that by the end of this year and early next year, half of our Nan University students will be using Facebook to communicate with each other," Tang Wu stated, her lips glowing white in the cabin's light as she added with a smile, "That would be the best outcome."

Now that Su Can was talking about these matters openly, he didn’t avoid Tang Xiaowu and Lin Luoran. He didn’t mind letting Tang Xiaowu know either.

Lin Luoran understands what kind of business empire Su Cen has built over the years. Of course, from a psychological perspective, Su Cen feels somewhat uneasy about his vanity^H novel-like sense of achievement and hopes that they can understand the nature of the endeavors he undertook during his high school and college years while pursuing his education.

Life revolves around career, love, and family, these three eternal themes. Su Cen wishes to look back on this period with satisfaction, knowing he didn't waste any time that passed by in life.

However, compared to reality, Su Cen's expectations might be a bit lofty. Lin Luoran grew up in her environment and apparently shows no interest in Su Cen’s enterprises; however, behind the scenes, she may know more about his business than he imagines through her network of contacts. Tang Wu is someone with exceptional capacity for taking over responsibilities, and when she first entered the Meiluo Tower headquarters of Facebook China, one part of her was amazed by these things related to Su Cen that she had never known before, while another part felt a bit petty towards him.

Any person seeing it for the first time would likely think that Su Cen is hiding too much, perhaps even evoking fear. Tang Wu is better off, after all, since from high school days onwards, Su Cen has repeatedly created seemingly impossible miracles in her presence. This has infused new colors into her originally harsh and dark worldview.

In summary, everything seems to be heading towards a better direction.

The flight lands over Shanghai, where farmland and urban areas interweave below. The plane hovers above waiting for clearance from air traffic control to land. Stewardesses proceed to check each passenger’s seatbelt readiness for landing one by one. Wu Shirui walks over to Su Cen to help him adjust his safety belt and with professional decorum but a lively smile remarks, "You just said you would treat us to dinner when we arrive in Shanghai; I have already told the cabin crew about it. You can't go back on your word."

Seeing that other passengers nearby were taken aback by her words while still admiring the stewardesses, Wu Shirui felt she was a bit too anxious and hurriedly checked around before walking away, her face turning slightly red.

Su Cen thought about how he had already mentioned treating them to dinner out loud. He originally assumed that Wu Shirui would just take it as polite talk but hadn't expected her to hold him to his word. Well, he'll have to spend a bit more money then. He can only give an awkward smile to Tang Wu and Lin Luoran saying, "I've already promised."

Tang Wu didn’t say anything; however, Lin Luoran pouted and said, “That's great, let’s go see.” Seeing the look in Lin Luoran's eyes directed at Wu Shirui, Su Cen felt a chill for some inexplicable reason.

After landing, the four of them were among the last to leave. They waited in the arrivals hall until Wu Shirui and other cabin crew members came out from behind the gate in their uniforms carrying one suitcase each, making their approach quite imposing.

When Wu Shirui arrived in front, she was rather excited and introduced Su Can to the others. She said that this is Daidai (nickname), Li Yu. This is Zhong Xue, this is someone else and so on.

The moment Su Can started introducing them, several girls were more interested in Tang Wu and Lin Luoran than in him and Yu Cheng. It seemed like the concept of "birds of a feather flock together" did not apply here at all. In fact, when they were on the plane earlier, they had discussed how beautiful Tang Wu and Lin Luoran were, even suspecting them to be celebrities before being denied by Wu Shirui.

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to head towards the city center since Su Can was willing to treat them to dinner at a hotel near their crew's accommodation in the city.

Just as they were about to leave, Zhao Weixin and Liang Xiao arrived together with two or three men in suits who came to pick them up at the airport. Zhao Weixin pointed towards Wu Shirui’s group and gave an order-like instruction, "Xiao Zhong, Xiao Wu, since you are here, just ride along with us as Mr. Liang has a car."

It seemed that Zhao Weixin wasn’t in a good mood at the moment, which was rather normal given that he was currently faced with either crew members or harmless individuals like Su Can. At this point, there was no need for him to put on an act. Liang Xiao, however, had a serious expression and smiled as he observed the girls from the side. One wondered if his smile would turn into a sinister grin when night fell, and whether he needed to change his mask every few scenes.

The flight attendant looked at the girls’ expressions and felt不忍 (unwilling), stepping forward to make amends for Zhao Weixin’s words, “Chief Zhao, Xiao Wu just bumped into her classmates. She says she wants to hang out with them, so I’ll leave it to you guys. Mei and I don’t want to go either. Should we ride along in your car back to the hotel”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weixin’s expression immediately turned dark as he said, "Our group has been making internal adjustments recently; this is something everyone knows about. It involves整頓 (tidying up) some flight attendants who have improper conduct and are lax in their discipline. Attendance needs to be taken upon returning to the hotel… You can decide how you want to handle it." He then turned around, ready to leave with a very unpleasant feeling.

Combining what he saw on the plane earlier, Su Can could roughly understand Zhao Weixin's personality just by looking at Zhong Xue and others’ expressions.

A sense of unease welled up in his heart as he stepped forward, stopping before Zhao Weixin. Zhao Weixin had already sensed something was off and stood his ground, staring directly into Su Can’s eyes from close range.

The atmosphere instantly turned tense and suffocating, filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Su Cen stared at Zhao Weixin with a sharp and dark expression. "The airport has special buses to take us back to the hotel. If you want us to ride in your official car, I wonder if that would be considered lax discipline... Following you back will definitely lead to a dinner invitation..." As he spoke, Su Cen glanced at Liang Xiao and others standing by the side, scrutinizing them from head to toe until even seasoned individuals like Liang Xiao felt uneasy. He then said with raised eyebrows, "Is it just for dealing with these misfits You've really thought this through. Do you think that eating, drinking, and sleeping constitute unbecoming conduct"

When Tang Wu saw Su Cen walk up, she realized that Xiao Can was clearly upset and wanted to do something about it. Even Tang Wu, who knew Su Cen's character well and had a heart as toughened by trials as anyone else’s, did not expect him to be this straightforward. The stark contrast of Su Cen suddenly adopting an attitude of carefree disdain amused people; Lin Luoran smiled broadly and muttered, "Misfits..."

Clearly, for the first time seeing Xiao Can standing before them with only his back visible, they perceived him as a truly formidable figure.

The crew members, including Wu Shirui, Zhong Xue, and Little Li, who were still angry at Zhao Weixin's words just now, suddenly found that events were developing in a direction that challenged their hearts.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Zhao Weixin was enraged. Beside him, Liang Xiao coldly watched Su Cen without saying anything; he looked imposing in his windbreaker.

"Did I hit a sore spot" Su Cen sneered. "Are your intentions directed at Zhong Xue or Wu Shirui"

Although he maintained composure, Su Cen's chest was also rising and falling sharply during this confrontation.

"Who are you Today I will make you understand that some things shouldn't be said lightly!" Zhao Weixin, with his fist raised, lunged toward Su Cen.

Before Zhao Weixin could reach Su Cen, he was struck by a palm from Yu on the left side of his body, causing him to stagger. With one hand around Zhao's neck, his cursing was cut short in mid-sentence; unable to pry open Yu’s iron arm, his face turned red.

"You'll soon find out who I am," Su Cen pointed at the oil-slicked forehead of Zhao Weixin, who had a side part hairstyle. "But I doubt that a bunch of testosterone-driven individuals like you have the qualifications to know.g even more devastating.Su Can continued, "This isn't a war; it's not about winning or losing."Li Qingyang was stunned for a moment before nodding vigorously. "No wonder the most excellent girls in No...
