Chapter 82 was slapped in the face yet again!
“Grandpa Zhou, money is not a problem. The key is that airplanes are much faster than bullet trains. I bought you tickets for the 11 o'clock flight, which will arrive in Chuan City at 1:30 pm.” At this point, Jiang Ning continued, “Grandpa Zhou, let’s go in quickly and get your boarding pass first. Then I will take you to the boarding gate.”
“Okay.” Zhou Jinpeng nodded.
It's Monday, and there aren't too many people at the airport.
After getting their boarding passes, Jiang Ning took Zhou Jinpeng to check in their luggage.
Zhou Jinpeng smiled and said, "Ningning, I don't have much, so there's no need to check it in. I can just carry it with me."
Zhou Jinpeng sent many of the larger items back in advance.
"I ordered some local specialties from City A for you on a food delivery app. You can take them back with you." Jiang Ning originally wanted to buy them at the supermarket herself, but Zhou Jinpeng left in such a hurry that Jiang Ning had no choice but to buy them through food delivery.
Zhou Jinpeng looked at Jiang Ning and said, "You not only bought me a plane ticket, but you also spent money to buy me local specialties. How can I possibly thank you enough!"
"It's alright, Grandpa Zhou. You and my grandpa are best friends, so you're practically my grandpa too. You haven't been back to your hometown for many years, so there should be a lot of people coming to see you. You should share some local specialties with everyone then."
Since marrying into the family of a divorced woman with three children, Zhou Jinpeng has never returned to his hometown.
This was his first time returning home since he left.
Grandpa Jiang nodded in agreement, "Old Zhou, Ningning is right. You'll definitely have a lot of people visiting you when you go back to your hometown. Share some local specialties with them. Besides, we're all family, so don't be shy!"
Zhou Jinpeng's eyes welled up with tears. He tried to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say. He could only hold Grandpa Jiang's hand tightly.
After checking in their luggage, Jiang Ning escorted Zhou Jinpeng to the boarding gate and explained the security and waiting procedures to him. "Grandpa Zhou, there is a private lounge for business class passengers. If you can't find the lounge, just take your ticket and ask the airport staff. Also, everything in the lounge is free to eat, so feel free to take whatever you want."
"Also, once you're in first class, you can ask the flight attendants for anything you want to eat or drink, and it's all free. First-class tickets are much more expensive than regular tickets, so please don't try to save the airline money."
"Also, the air conditioning on the plane is quite strong, so you might feel a bit cold. You can ask the flight attendant for a blanket, which is provided free of charge."
"If you can't find the baggage carousel after you get off the plane, you can ask the airport staff for help."
Jiang Ning patiently explained everything, big or small, without getting annoyed. After all, it was Zhou Jinpeng's first time flying, and she deliberately emphasized that it was free.
In the older generation's mind, everything on trains is expensive, so they would rather go hungry than order food on trains or high-speed trains.
The little girl was very patient.
The sound is also very nice.
Zhou Jinpeng listened attentively, his nose tingling, and when he spoke again, tears welled up in his eyes, "Okay, Ningning, I've remembered everything you said."
Even if it were her own granddaughter, this would probably be the best she could do.
After explaining everything, and seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Ning waved goodbye to Zhou Jinpeng, saying, "Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou."
"Okay." Zhou Jinpeng was already in tears. "Goodbye Ningning, goodbye Lao Jiang. I'll come back to see you after I've settled down in my hometown!"
Grandpa Jiang was also sobbing uncontrollably, "Old Zhou, have a safe trip, remember to call me after you get off the plane."
He has known Zhou Jinpeng for three years.
Over the past three years, the two have helped each other. Although they are not related by blood, they are closer than many blood-related brothers.
Jiang Ning handed Grandpa Jiang a tissue. "Grandpa, don't cry. Grandpa Zhou has gone home to enjoy his retirement. After I finish my college entrance exam, I'll take you to Sichuan to see him."
Grandpa Jiang looked at Jiang Ning, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Ning nodded with a smile. "We'll take a plane there then!"
"Good!" Grandpa Jiang wiped away his tears, comforted by his granddaughter's words.
After the grandfather and grandson returned to their rented apartment, Grandpa Jiang rested at home for a while before changing into his vest and going to work.
Jiang Ning finally had time to turn on her phone, log into WeChat, and browse her Moments.
She doesn't have many friends.
and so.
The first post on my WeChat Moments was a picture that Shen Jingnian had just posted.
Seeing the snow falling heavily in the United States, Jiang Ning felt extremely envious. She had just taken a walk outside and was already feeling incredibly hot.
Jiang Ning gave Shen Jingnian a thumbs up.
They also left a comment: "Nice scenery."
After scrolling through her WeChat Moments, Jiang Ning opened the game "Splendid Peak" and entered the Adventure Manor. As soon as she entered, she was surprised to find that S had left another unfinished game.
It's the kind of endgame puzzle with an S+ level of difficulty.
well.
She prefers challenging endgame puzzles.
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
A worthy match!
It’s getting more and more interesting!
the other side.
Country M.
For the entire afternoon, Shen Jingnian's expression was extremely unpleasant, and his eyes were filled with a chilling intensity. This made the senior executives who were inspecting the construction site with Shen Jingnian feel uneasy, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of accidentally running into trouble.
Only the secretary standing next to Shen Jingnian noticed a detail.
That means Ninth Master can't look at his phone.
His face darkens even more whenever he looks at his phone.
How is this going?
Could it be that Ninth Master is in love?
So you're waiting for your girlfriend's reply?
But Ninth Master's girlfriend never replied, so Ninth Master was sulking.
No, no!
Will not.
The secretary quickly dismissed her foolish idea.
This is Master Shen Jiu!
The unapproachable Master Shen could easily win over any girl he fancied, so why would he be here waiting for her to reply to his messages in such a pitiful manner?
The other person isn't replying to messages and is secretly angry?
Say.
Whoever Ninth Master takes a liking to is truly honored.
The other party was too happy to not reply to Master Jiu's WeChat message.
So it's impossible; Ninth Master couldn't possibly be waiting for a girl's reply.
Totally impossible!
The Emperor's intentions are unpredictable; he'd better not make wild guesses.
Shen Jingnian felt his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't hear what his subordinates were saying at all. Everything seemed irritating to him. After thinking for a while, he opened his phone again, and this time, there were 99+ more messages in his WeChat Moments.
Shen Jingnian never posts on WeChat Moments, so this post received many comments shortly after it was published.
There were hundreds of comments, some flattering, some complimenting, and some ingratiating.
But none of them were what Shen Jingnian wanted to see.
Just as Shen Jingnian was about to click and swipe away, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart stopped, because he saw a familiar profile picture among a bunch of comments.
That's right.
It's Jiang Ning.
She not only liked the post, but also left a comment.
Shen Jingnian immediately clicked the reply button; his fingers were trembling at that moment. [Yes, the scenery here is very nice. You can come and visit sometime.]
If anyone were to look at the phone screen, they would see that there were hundreds of comments under Shen Jingnian's post on WeChat Moments, but Shen Jingnian only replied to Jiang Ning's.
After replying to Jiang Ning's comment, the gloom on Shen Jingnian's face vanished, and he looked up at his secretary, "Nice."
“Ninth Master, I’m here.” Secretary Nice immediately stepped forward.
Shen Jingnian raised his thin lips slightly and surveyed the construction site. "Everyone has worked hard this month. Have the finance department give everyone an extra 1000 yuan bonus."
Ah? ? ?
Nice was almost caught off guard by this turn of events.
Issuing bonuses?
Is Ninth Master serious?
Just moments ago, he seemed to find fault with everything and criticized several people in a row.
But in the blink of an eye, Ninth Master is about to give everyone bonuses!
Is he really not dreaming?
Nice swallowed hard, and asked uncertainly, "Ninth Master, do you mean that all the workers will receive a bonus of 1000 this month?"
“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Nice was even more incredulous!
God!
What did he hear?
Not only that.
Ninth Master even smiled at him.
This was the first time Ninth Master had smiled at him after he had been working for so long.
Fortunately, Nice wasn't a girl.
If he were a girl, she would suspect that Ninth Master might like him!
After returning from the construction site, Shen Jingnian continued to rush through the procedures.
After attending the last charity gala and returning home, the first thing he did upon arriving at his residence was to take out his phone, open a search engine, and enter the question: "Why would a girl not only have a guy like her recent post on social media, but also comment on it?"
The answers varied widely.
There wasn't any particular reason; I just casually liked and commented.
[Maybe she has feelings for you!]
[How ridiculous that someone would ask such a question.]
Hey bro, if you like her, remember to seize the opportunity and post more on social media.
Post more on WeChat Moments?
Upon seeing this comment, Shen Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly.
This sounds exactly like what's in that book...
Day two.
Shen Jingnian went to buy Yun Haotian a bag worth over six figures.
Upon arriving at the luxury store, he took a picture and sent it to Yun Haotian via WeChat: "Is this the bag?"
[Yes, Uncle, that's it. Other bags from this brand are also great, very collectible. You could buy one as a birthday gift for Dad Jiang; bags are every girl's favorite!]
Shen Jingnian held his phone in one hand, typed quickly, and clicked send with a blank expression: "I don't spend money on women of the opposite sex with whom I'm not related by blood."
Seeing this reply, Yun Haotian on the other side of the screen rolled his eyes in exasperation.
It's still the same reply.
How could there be such a miser as his uncle in this world?!
Does Shen Jingnian know that he could be sentenced to imprisonment without a wife for doing this?
After replying to Yun Haotian's message, Shen Jingnian showed the saleswoman the picture on his phone and said, "Could you please wrap this bag up for me?"
"Ok sir."
The sales assistant quickly went to pack it up.
Shen Jingnian then asked, "Do all you girls really like bags?"
Although his voice was somewhat cold, Shen Jingnian was exceptionally handsome, with a pair of exquisite phoenix eyes that were deep and unfathomable, like an endless abyss. Just one glance was enough to make the saleswoman blush and become extremely nervous.
Is this customer interested in her?
Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask her if she likes bags?
Is he going to buy her a bag?
Yes, that's definitely the case.
Thinking about this, the saleswoman's heart was pounding.
Working in their line of work provides the easiest way to come into contact with people from high society. As a result, many of their colleagues marry into wealthy families and become wives of the rich, or at the very least, become mistresses kept by wealthy men.
Judging from Shen Jingnian's appearance, he must be a top-tier big shot!
Who among ordinary people would bring three assistants when they go out?
The saleswoman's gaze fell on the three assistants behind Shen Jingnian.
Is she about to become a glamorous socialite?
The saleswoman became more and more excited as she thought about it, and looked at Shen Jingnian with a flattered expression, "It's like this, sir, because bags can cure all ills! I really love collecting all kinds of bags."
It can cure all diseases.
Shen Jingnian suddenly remembered that it was written the same way in the book.
"Well, this one, this one, and this one," Shen Jingnian said in a low voice, pointing to a row of bags in front of him, "wrap them all up!"
