Chapter 742 - 328: Damn, Just How Well Is This Xu Yun Guy Doing

Su Mu arrived at the airport with her secretary.

An airport staff member led them through a private entrance, directly onto the tarmac.

When Su Mu’s secretary saw the plane before them, she was both stunned and excited.

’I never thought I’d get to fly on a private jet.’

Wang Qing, the plane’s sole flight attendant, stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you President Su?"

"Yes."

"The boss will be here shortly."

Wang Qing said, "Please, follow me aboard. You can wait for him on the plane."

"Okay, thank you."

Su Mu nodded, and led by Wang Qing, she and her secretary boarded the plane.

Once aboard, Su Mu and her secretary began to look around. Compared to the cramped space of a commercial airliner, this was unbelievably comfortable.

A large sofa, a large-screen TV, a refrigerator, a conference table, a private bedroom, a bed, a bathroom... it had everything.

It was like a luxurious mansion in the sky.

After they sat down, Wang Qing asked, "Ladies, would you like something to drink? We have a selection of coffees, red wine, champagne, and other spirits."

"Two lattes, thank you."

"Certainly. I’ll be right back."

’Wang Qing didn’t know who this President Su was to Xu Yun, but for him to send the jet to pick her up, their relationship was clearly anything but ordinary.’

Su Mu, in turn, was sizing up the beautiful flight attendant.

’She didn’t think much of it, other than that Xu Yun really knew how to enjoy life. He was never short on beautiful women, no matter where he went.’

’She just wondered if Xu Yun had made a move on this one.’

A few moments later, Wang Qing brought over the coffees. "Here are your lattes," she said. "Just let me know if you need anything else."

"Alright, thank you."

After they had been waiting on the plane for about ten minutes, Xu Yun came aboard.

Seeing him, the secretary immediately stood up and moved aside.

Xu Yun took her seat opposite Su Mu and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long."

Su Mu smiled. "We were just waiting for you. The plane wasn’t going to take off otherwise."

"Haha, I was a little tired last night and slept in a bit."

Xu Yun turned to Wang Qing. "Tell the captain we’re ready to depart."

"Yes, boss."

Wang Qing acknowledged and headed toward the cockpit.

A moment later, the plane took off smoothly.

Su Mu asked curiously, "How much did this plane cost you?"

"A few hundred million."

Xu Yun said, "I’ll give you Crew Chief Wang’s number later. If you need to use the jet in the future, just call her in advance."

"But it’s your plane. I couldn’t possibly..."

"What’s with all this ’yours’ and ’mine’? What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine."

Xu Yun laughed. "We’re a couple. Don’t be so formal."

"Who said we’re a couple?"

Su Mu retorted, blushing, "Have we gotten a marriage license?"

"A single night as a couple creates a hundred days of affection. You know that, right?"

Xu Yun held up his hands. "We may not have a certificate, but our love is stronger than gold."

"Why don’t you go have a love ’stronger than gold’ with your other women."

Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "The day will come when I’m old and faded, and you won’t even want to look at me."

"If you’re old, I’ll be old too. Then nobody will want either of us."

"Bullshit," Su Mu scoffed. "As long as you men have money, you can be 60 and still have 20-year-old women fawning over you!"

"But a 60-year-old Xu Yun will only love a 62-year-old Su Mu."

Su Mu: "Did you eat honey for breakfast today? Aren’t you afraid everyone will laugh at you?"

"True love fears no mockery."

Su Mu: "..."

’Even though she knew Xu Yun was probably just saying it off the cuff and didn’t mean it, she couldn’t help but feel happy hearing such sweet nothings.’

’Sometimes, being lied to by the person you love is its own kind of bliss.’

Xu Yun and Su Mu’s conversation completely ignored Wang Qing and the secretary, as they exchanged one cheesy, romantic line after another.

Wang Qing was used to it, having witnessed this a couple of times before.

’She’d never realized before how good Xu Yun was with words, how skilled he was at charming women!’

’So why did he always seem so straight-laced when he was with Huang Mengyao?’

The secretary, on the other hand, was mortified. Listening to their conversation, her eyes darted everywhere. She tried not to listen, but it was impossible; the space was just too small, after all.

The hardest part was trying to keep a straight face.

Seeing her struggling, Xu Yun said, "Hey, miss, if you want to laugh, go ahead. Don’t hold it in."

"I’m not."

Facing her boss’s boss, the secretary naturally didn’t dare to admit it. "I don’t want to laugh at all," she said. "I think what President Xu said is absolutely right."

"Your eyes are giving you away."

Xu Yun asked, "You’re not seeing anyone, are you?"

"No, President Xu."

"No wonder. When you have someone you love, you’ll find you can say all kinds of cheesy things to them."

Xu Yun teased, "How about you consider me?"

The secretary: "..."

"Don’t mind him. He’s never serious."

Su Mu shot Xu Yun a glare. "Don’t scare the poor girl."

"I was just joking, trying to lighten the mood. Don’t be nervous," Xu Yun said awkwardly. "When we get back, you can ask President Su to introduce you to a reliable boyfriend."

...

「In the demolition zone of Jiangcheng’s old district.」

Ning Qian and her team had arrived at the project office.

This was their first time seeing the new general manager since the company had changed hands.

The project manager and the rest of the management team looked at the new general manager—young, beautiful, and not even thirty—and couldn’t help but feel a little disdainful.

’In their eyes, a general manager this young was probably just a figurehead, a pretty face with no real ability or knowledge, pushed to the front just for appearances.’

Even so, they didn’t dare to offend her.
