Originally, I thought that I had taken advantage of hundreds of millions of dollars, and could be considered a rich man.
It can be seen that after seeing the scene behind, I realized that there is still a big gap between myself and the real rich people.
Wu Jun and I got off the train at Ankou Railway Station, and were picked up on the platform by a middle-aged man who claimed to be Chairman Cao of XX Group, accompanied by five or six men in suits and leather shoes.
The pot-bellied chairman is very familiar and appears in various news almost every day.
Either today we donate 100 million to a primary school in a poor area, or tomorrow we cooperate with large European and American companies and invest more than 100 billion to complete a new world-leading project.
But he was not the person on the other end of the phone. He was assigned to come here by Ganqing, and he was just to pick Wu Jun and me up to the airport.
Such a small thing doesn't need such a big shot, right?
This person was respectful to me and Wu Jun, and this Director Cao. After getting into his limousine, Boss Cao said with a smile:
"Director Ma said on the phone that I must entertain his distinguished guests.
But Ankou is a small place, and there really isn't any good place.
Do you think this is a good idea for the two distinguished guests?
We went to Fujiang City nearby, and there was a restaurant there that did pretty good Cantonese cuisine. Their double-headed abalone and Tianjiu fins were both pretty good.
After we finished eating, we went to the nearby club to kill some time.
I booked a presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Fujiang, where the two VIPs rested at night.
After breakfast tomorrow, I will personally take the two distinguished guests to the airport.
Take my private jet.”
Wu Jun didn't take Boss Cao seriously. Before he could finish speaking, the immortal had snorted coldly and said:
"Did I not make it clear to him, or did he not make it clear to you?
Your Highness and I must rush back as soon as possible
After doing all this useless work, send us to the airport immediately."
Wu Jun and I are distinguished guests of ‘Director Ma’, and Boss Cao doesn’t dare to offend us.
After he smiled without embarrassment, he said:
"It was my lack of consideration.
I'll ask the driver to turn around and go to the airport now.
I also need to explain to Chairman Ma, don’t let him think that I neglected the distinguished guest.”
Wu Jun ignored Boss Cao, turned around and said to me with a smile:
"Your Highness, the people below don't know how to do things.
Who do we think we are when these random things come here? It’s as if no one has ever eaten abalone, shark fin, or stayed in a presidential suite.”
I glanced at Wu Jun and didn't answer, but in my heart I greeted him to all the elders of the three generations above him:
I have never eaten double-headed abalone or Tianjiu fin! I have never stayed in a presidential suite!
Not to mention the presidential suite, I have never even stayed in the mayor’s suite!
You've seen the man named Wu before, but don't think about it. I've only been the adopted son of the Emperor of Heaven for a few days, so how could I have that chance?
The convoy changed its route on the highway and finally arrived at the local airport almost an hour later.
Under the leadership of Boss Cao, Wu Jun and I walked through the special passage and went directly to the area where the private jet was parked.
There are five or six private jets docked here that seem unaffordable.
However, Boss Cao had no intention of taking us on the plane. Just when Wu Jun's face darkened and he was about to attack, a large plane landed in the distance and then drove towards us.
Boss Cao explained:
"Director Ma will personally see off two distinguished guests. You two will take his Boeing 777 aircraft to your destination."
When he spoke, the plane had already listened, and the staff on the ground immediately pushed the spiral staircase over.
Then, the plane door opened, and a middle-aged man with eyes trotted out of the plane.
"Grandpa, I have kept you waiting for a long time.
Lao Cao doesn't know how to handle things. I should treat you and this distinguished guest to have a meal and rest before leaving.
I prepared a light meal at the airport, so you two can have some."
This Chairman Ma is also a one-sided acquaintance of mine. The social focus of the past two decades has been on him.
He and another boss named Ma alternately sit on the list of richest people. I never thought that one day, he would fly to pick me up.
Wu Jun didn't regard Ma Dong as a human being, but he was better than Boss Cao after all.
He nodded towards Dong Ma and said:
"It's hard for you to come here in person. After so many years, my love for you has not been in vain.
Your Highness, I'm sorry for neglecting you. You just have to take this plane.
Waiting for the day when you have the magical ability to teleport thousands of miles, and you can go anywhere in just a thought."
With that said, Wu Jun carefully escorted me up the spiral staircase, leaving Boss Cao with a confused look on his face and said to Director Ma who was wondering about being boarded on the plane:
"Brother Ma, what are the backgrounds of these two distinguished guests?
What the older man said along the way was confusing, and I couldn't understand a word of it.
What gods and gods belong to the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Old Cao, thank you very much this time.
But I have something to remind you, you didn’t go anywhere today, you were always preparing for the new factory.
Don't ask for anything, and don't try to find out anything.
I'm doing it for your own good"
While talking, Ma Dong patted Boss Cao on the shoulder, then he turned around and followed us, running back to the plane along the spiral staircase.
After getting on the plane, my eyes were opened to what it meant to be a rich person.
When we were in sales, our company had done several luxury furniture projects, so we had seen a little bit of the market.
They all look like ordinary things, but if I pick them up at random, they are not at the price that I, who was a salesperson three years ago, would be able to accept.
Several beautiful flight attendants came over and asked us to take off our coats and put them away.
It's just that I struggled a lot on the two trains before and after. My dirty clothes were full of sweat smell, and I was really embarrassed to hand them over to the stewardess.
At this time, Chairman Ma came over, saw my embarrassment, and said with a smile:
"Take the distinguished guest to take a bath first.
Prepare clean clothes from the inside out. They may not be too close-fitting, so you can make do with them first.
I will ask my personal tailor to wait at your destination. When he arrives at the place, he will tailor the clothes for you."
You can also take a shower on the plane
I nodded my head pretending to be reserved and said:
"There's no rush to take a shower, you can wash it again after you fly.
This time I have troubled Mr. Ma, who came all the way to pick me up in person.
Old witch, you can’t treat Chairman Ma badly.”
Wu Jun smiled, then turned to Director Ma and said:
"If Your Highness is happy today, that means I am happy.
To give you face, tell me about your dream about your ex-wife turning into wood, and I will explain it to you."
Ma Dong was a little flattered. He smiled and said:
"That dream is nothing, no need to trouble you, old man. Besides, I don't have any ex-wife.
But there is something that I need to trouble you about right now.
A subsidiary of one of my subordinate companies said that he met a god when he was working on a project in Hexi a while ago."
