Chapter 350: Chapter 326: This Is Too Lucky, Isn’t It?

...

Xuanfeng Alliance International Airport.

Yang Ming and Chen Hao had already entered the airport’s private lounge.

"Brother Ming, after this trip back and forth, we won’t be citizens of Dragon Country anymore," Chen Hao said with a sigh after sitting down.

Because Dragon Country didn’t recognize dual citizenship, now that they had fully joined the Xuanfeng Alliance, they naturally had to renounce their domestic status.

He didn’t mind, though. After all, back home, he was just a small-time punk, and all his relatives looked down on him.

Those people acted afraid of him to his face, but behind his back, they’d tell their own kids, "You need to study hard. Whatever you do, don’t end up like that Chen Hao."

But in the Xuanfeng Alliance, he was the son-in-law of the Minister of Finance and the warden of Prison No. 1.

Most importantly, he was one of President Lu’s men.

With President Lu around, he could sit back and relax, knowing he had the strongest backer in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

So, was joining the Xuanfeng Alliance even a choice?

And his parents’ attitude? That went without saying. They had called him long ago, nagging him about coming to the Xuanfeng Alliance to enjoy a comfortable life with him. This trip back was just a formality.

Another reason for the trip was to bring over Boss Chen’s family.

Boss Chen was too busy with his responsibilities to go back himself; he was full of drive in his new role as police chief.

Naturally, Boss Chen had already cleared it with his family.

It only took a single sentence. After all, their son was a chief in the Xuanfeng Alliance now. What parents would hold him back?

Yang Ming smiled as well.

Things were a bit more complicated on his end. He hadn’t even told his family yet, so bringing them all over would take some effort.

This was also why he’d asked Chen Hao to come back with him.

It couldn’t be helped. The guy was an internet celebrity in Dragon Country. Everyone knew about the punk from Youcheng who’d gone to the Xuanfeng Alliance and reached the pinnacle of his life.

Chen Hao was especially famous in Youcheng, since he was a local.

Moreover, after he blew up online, he even created an account with Qingfeng Entertainment Company called ’A Warden’s Daily Life,’ which had a lot of fans.

Those fans were constantly asking Chen Hao for advice on how to go to the Xuanfeng Alliance and become a cut above the rest.

Of course, Chen Hao completely ignored these inquiries.

"Gentlemen, the plane is about to take off," a flight attendant said respectfully as she entered the lounge.

The flight attendant was from Dragon Country, and they were on a flight to Dragon Country’s Tianzhou City. She had clearly recognized Chen Hao, the internet-famous warden, and kept sneaking glances at him.

"Let’s go," Yang Ming said.

"Yeah." Chen Hao stood up, followed him, and they boarded the plane together.

After a long flight, the plane landed at the international airport in Tianzhou City.

Tianzhou City was the first city to cooperate with the Xuanfeng Alliance, and it also had the most flight routes connecting the two.

At the airport’s arrival gate.

Ah Pao, Yang Lin, and Da Fei were waiting for them.

Aside from a few of their brothers, they hadn’t brought anyone else.

They might have liked to be ostentatious in the past, but once you’ve been at the top for a while, you tend to prefer keeping a low profile.

Ah Pao said with a wide grin, "That guy Chen Hao is now the warden of Xuanfeng Alliance’s Prison No. 1. It really makes you envious. But on the bright side, Brother Ming is finally back to take us with him."

These words brought a hint of joy to Yang Lin’s face as well.

It was true.

President Lu had been in the Xuanfeng Alliance for so long, and everyone knew what huge things he’d accomplished there.

Even though they were doing very well in Tianzhou City, they always hoped the brothers could be together.

Besides, the prospects in the Xuanfeng Alliance were clearly much better.

Most importantly, President Lu had already promised that if his fiancée gave up her current position as a university lecturer, she would be given the principal’s post at a school in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

This also left him with no worries holding him back.

Soon, the two of them saw Yang Ming and Chen Hao coming out of the airport.

The three men immediately led their people forward.

Yang Ming and Chen Hao also spotted the trio as soon as they exited the arrivals gate.

"Brother Ming, when are we leaving for the Xuanfeng Alliance?" Ah Pao asked as soon as they were out of the airport.

"Are your families all set? And what about company matters?" Yang Ming asked in return.

Ah Pao immediately replied, "Don’t worry, our families have all agreed to immigrate with us. As for the company, arrangements have been made for everyone except the people we’re taking with us."

"Same here," Yang Lin nodded.

"It’s even less of an issue for me. My parents passed away, and I’ve long since cut ties with my other relatives," Da Fei said with a smile. "As for the tea, I’ll just have to manage it from both sides, exporting from Dragon Country to the Xuanfeng Alliance."

"Okay." Yang Ming nodded, then added, "Then we need to think about how to bring my parents, my aunt, and Qingxue’s mother to the Xuanfeng Alliance. None of the elders know anything yet. We’ll need Chen Hao to put in some effort on that front."

"Don’t worry, Brother Ming," Chen Hao said with a smile.

’Who could blame them for relying on him? He was famous now, after all.’

And so, not long after, the sound of firecrackers echoed through a residential complex in Youcheng. It was the celebratory ritual of a family setting off firecrackers as they prepared to go out and welcome their wandering son home.

There was even a new car, specifically for the pickup, adorned with red silk ribbons.

Even the Youcheng television station’s news crew was there to film.

Normally, no family’s returning son would warrant an interview from the county television station.

But the person returning today was different, so everyone in the complex was gossiping.

"Hey, that’s Chen Hao’s parents. I can’t believe their dumb luck!"

"Chen Hao? Which Chen Hao?"

"The one who went to the Xuanfeng Alliance, became a prison warden, and married the Minister of Finance’s daughter."

"Just a punk. The heavens must be blind!"

"Look at his parents, so smug. They tell everyone they meet that Chen Hao is taking them to the Xuanfeng Alliance to live a life of luxury."

"..."

All sorts of comments could be heard, a mixture of sighs, envy, jealousy, and curses.

But one fact spread like wildfire: Chen Hao, the man who had reached the pinnacle of life, was back in Youcheng.

Countless people were posting about it on their social media feeds all over Youcheng.

This was especially true in Youcheng’s underworld.

Now, Chen Hao was a role model for countless people.

Regardless, the news of Chen Hao’s return to Youcheng spread, becoming a popular topic of conversation people eagerly discussed in their leisure time.

Soon, Chen Hao’s parents got in their car, drove out of the residential complex, and headed to the high-speed rail station to pick up their son.

The Youcheng TV crew followed alongside them. Normally, a returning son would never receive this kind of treatment.

But then again, this was Chen Hao.

This was definitely big news for Youcheng. Moreover, Tianzhou City advocated for cooperation with the Xuanfeng Alliance. Since Tianzhou City was the capital of Min Province, this reflected Min Province’s attitude to some extent.

Therefore, Youcheng naturally had to follow the example set by its superiors.

Most importantly, the county’s Deputy Head Lin Xuecheng had received word that Chen Hao was bringing a massive tea order to Youcheng, with the goal of introducing Youcheng’s tea to the Xuanfeng Alliance.

This was a huge deal.

Deputy Head Lin Xuecheng was the one in charge of the tea industry. In fact, the two-billion-yuan investment in Qingfeng Tea and the consolidation of Youcheng’s tea industry were his signature achievements.

Qingfeng Tea was already selling well in various regions. Now that a large order was coming from the Xuanfeng Alliance, he naturally had to make sure everything was arranged perfectly and give Chen Hao enough face.

So, it was no surprise that these arrangements were made.

Chen Hao soon exited the high-speed rail station. He had parted ways with Yang Ming, as he still had a part to play.

Chen Hao spotted his parents’ car. After getting in, he told them to drive to Market Street on Youcheng’s Xia Gang Street.

"Hao, what are we going there for?" his father asked, confused.

"You’ll see when we get there," Chen Hao said without explaining.

’The reason, of course, is that President Lu’s mother is there.’

’President Lu hadn’t told his family about his situation. If he suddenly brought it up, he was afraid his mother wouldn’t believe him and would worry too much. So, he asked me to make a big splash.’

’Once I’ve paraded around enough that everyone knows about the Xuanfeng Alliance, he and Yang Ming can go together and sort things out easily.’

Father Chen didn’t know his son’s plan, but he did as he was told.

His son was successful now, so naturally, his son called the shots at home. He didn’t need to question him.

Soon, the car carrying Chen Hao and his parents arrived at Market Street and happened to stop right next to Lin Shuang’s shop.

Lin Shuang was in the shop, along with Yang Qingxue’s mother, Chen Fen. She knew Lin Shuang had undergone surgery before, so she often came to visit.

When Chen Hao’s car stopped, followed by the television station’s van, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Who’s that?" Chen Fen asked curiously.

A man selling fish nearby said with a laugh, "That’s Chen Hao. He used to be a small-time punk, but now it seems he’s become a big shot in the Xuanfeng Alliance. The whole town’s been talking about him for the past two days."

Another person chimed in, "Chen Hao married the daughter of the Xuanfeng Alliance’s Minister of Finance and became a prison warden there himself. This time, he’s here to take his parents back with him to live a life of comfort."

Chen Fen said in surprise, "Then isn’t this Chen Hao way too lucky? It’s like his ancestral graves are billowing green smoke! How else could he have such good fortune?"

"Mm-hmm." Lin Shuang nodded as well.

It was true; this Chen Hao was incredibly lucky.
