Chapter 246 Xiao Jinhua's Invitation! Have I, Zhao Ruilong, become a scumbag?
early morning.
The loud ringtone of the cell phone woke Qin Shuang from her deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes, I found that Zhao Ruilong was not beside me.
"Hey, where is he?"
The phone was still ringing.
Qin Shuang didn't even have time to look around for someone.
She sat up, still covered by the blanket, and picked up her phone to answer the call from driver Lao Wan.
"Secretary Qin, I have prepared the car. We can set off back to Jingzhou at any time."
"Okay, let me ask Mr. Zhao what time he's leaving."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shuang put down her phone and noticed a lot of crumpled paper on the carpet next to the bed.
She immediately thought of what had happened in the early hours of the morning, and her cheeks flushed red and felt hot.
I quickly put on my clothes and carefully threw the smelly crumpled paper into the trash can.
But then I thought about it and it didn't seem right.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the cleaning lady smelled something strange?
I simply brought the trash can into the bathroom and dumped all the crumpled paper into it.
After quickly washing up, Qin Shuang went to the living room.
Only then did they realize that Zhao Ruilong had already gotten up.
Right now, I'm at my desk, busy working on my laptop.
Qin Shuang felt embarrassed and ashamed when she thought about what happened in the early hours of the morning.
"Did Lao Wan call you?"
Zhao Ruilong took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.
He glanced at the shy and charming Qin Shuang, who was standing there motionless.
Although they haven't crossed any lines yet, their relationship has progressed rapidly under Qin Shuang's passionate advances and his careful guidance.
Even though Qin Shuang was still quite inexperienced in terms of technique, her exceptional intelligence and obedience greatly satisfied Zhao Ruilong, making her far superior to Lu Yike.
Lu Yike, who is not afraid of powerful people, naturally has a strong sense of self-respect.
In some respects, Zhao Ruilong certainly can't do whatever he wants.
They'll only give you a token, perfunctory response if they're happy.
But Qin Shuang is different.
She is very obedient and willing to learn.
Regardless of whether it's disgusting or uncomfortable, as long as you're happy and comfortable, that's all that matters.
Faced with Zhao Ruilong's eager gaze, Qin Shuang instinctively avoided eye contact.
"I called, and they said the car is ready and we can go back to Jingzhou anytime."
"Okay, then go back to your room and pack your things. We'll go downstairs for breakfast and then head out."
"Okay, okay."
Qin Shuang turned and left shyly.
Even though the two of them hadn't crossed any lines, she still felt a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but smile faintly.
I know I was a little shy and reserved at first, but I'll get used to it after a while.
After a while.
The two of them carried their luggage to the restaurant on the second floor.
Qin Shuang had a good appetite for the originally plentiful and exquisite buffet breakfast.
Until she saw Zhao Ruilong bring over two glasses of milk.
The milky white color and fishy smell of the milk immediately reminded her of something.
He quickly inhaled and gritted his teeth, suppressing the nausea and vomiting.
Good morning, Mr. Zhao!
"Hello, Secretary Qin!"
Upon hearing that familiar, polite greeting, Qin Shuang quickly turned her head and looked to the side.
Then, Xiao Jinhua, the general manager of Yanjing Jinhong Holdings, walked towards us with a smile on his face.
This guy wasn't tall or fat, and he looked quite refined with his glasses.
Qin Shuang was about to get up to greet her.
But seeing that Zhao Ruilong only responded with a slight smile, he immediately gave up the idea of getting up.
Although Xiao Jinhua is a renowned financial genius and billionaire.
However, compared to Zhao Ruilong, he is still far behind in terms of wealth, background, and power.
It was he who flew all the way from Yanjing to Tianhai to see Zhao Ruilong, not the other way around.
As Zhao Ruilong's secretary, I should naturally maintain the proper demeanor.
"You've brought your luggage for breakfast, are you planning to head back to Jingzhou after this?"
Xiao Jinhua smiled and bowed slightly before asking.
"Hmm, you're also planning to go back to Yanjing?"
Zhao Ruilong asked calmly.
"That's the current plan, but Mr. Zhao, how do you plan to get back to Jingzhou?"
"Of course we'll take the car back. It's only 300 kilometers from Tianhai to Jingzhou, it won't take long."
"It's about 300 kilometers, it would take at least four hours to drive there, and that's without traffic jams."
Xiao Jinhua paused slightly and bent down even lower.
“If you don’t mind, I would like to invite you to fly back to Jingzhou on my plane.”
Zhao Ruilong has not yet made a statement.
Qin Shuang, sitting across the table, was startled.
What exactly did Xiao Jinhua mean by those words?
His plane?
Jingzhou and Tianhai are only 300 kilometers apart.
Between the two major cities, there are national highways, expressways, and regular-speed railways, and in the future, there will be high-speed rail.
The distance is so short and travel is so convenient that no airline has opened a flight route.
Xiao Jinhua invited Zhao Ruilong to fly back to Jingzhou on his plane...
Doesn't this mean he owns a private jet?
Thinking about this, Qin Shuang, who had never been on an airplane before, was naturally even more surprised.
I knew Xiao Jinhua was rich, but I didn't expect him to be this rich.
These days, not many ordinary people can afford a mobile phone, so many people choose to buy a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) for its cost-effectiveness.
Xiao Jinhua actually owns a private jet!
A private jet!
How much would it cost to buy one of these?
How much does it cost to raise it every year?
My best friend Wan Qianru's family runs a business and is quite wealthy.
But I used to hear her complain that buying a car was too expensive, and that a slightly better one would cost two or three hundred thousand.
After purchasing it, there are still a lot of insurance premiums, maintenance fees, fuel costs, toll fees, parking fees, and so on every year.
Then there are even more high-end private jets, which are also a form of transportation…
Qin Shuang couldn't believe how high the purchase and holding costs would be.
of course.
For Xiao Jinhua, whose net worth is said to be over 10 billion, there is naturally no pressure at all.
As for Zhao Ruilong...
He knew, of course, that it was no coincidence that Xiao Jinhua appeared here so soon after he and Qin Shuang had just arrived at the restaurant for breakfast.
His invitation to ride on his private plane back to Jingzhou was clearly not just a convenient ride.
He could have flown directly from Tianhai back to Yanjing, why did he have to go through Jingzhou?
Private jet flights are not cheap.
Landing and takeoff fees, fuel costs, crew hour fees, etc., all added together.
I'm afraid that just one trip to Jingzhou will cost me 100,000 yuan.
Xiao Jinhua, who works in finance, is someone who insists that every investment must yield a return.
Therefore, there must be other purposes behind this trip to send me back to Jingzhou.
but……
Regardless of their motives, they agreed yesterday to invest 5 billion to join their investment fund.
Since we're already business partners, why refuse his warm invitation?
Moreover, Xiao Jinhua's grandfather had served as the deputy director of the finance department, and his parents were both well-known figures in the financial world, so he had a lot of influence and connections in Beijing's financial circles.
After putting down his chopsticks, Zhao Ruilong wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"What are you complaining about?"
"I'm so happy that you sent me back to Jingzhou in your private jet, saving me time and effort!"
"But you originally planned to return to Yanjing. If you suddenly want to change your destination, is it possible to apply for a flight route in time?"
Xiao Jinhua laughed heartily:
"Of course there's still time."
"Mr. Zhao, you may not know this, but our country's civil aviation industry is not as developed as that of the United States."
“Our country has few civilian aircraft and even fewer private business jets, so applying for air rights is not difficult.”
Zhao Ruilong was taken aback.
Suddenly I realized it was 2001.
Before China joined the WTO and experienced rapid economic growth, its civil aviation industry was not very developed.
Even between major cities, the number of direct flights per day is very limited.
Even between Yanjing and Tianhai, two major political and economic cities.
Direct flights aren't as frequent as buses, with dozens of flights a day.
Private jets...
In China, they are naturally among the very few.
Therefore, domestic airports naturally want more planes to take off and land.
Because as long as an aircraft takes off or lands, even if it only uses the runway briefly, it has to pay takeoff and landing fees and air traffic control fees.
Airports generate even more revenue when they need to refuel, replenish water and food supplies, use parking spaces, or provide shuttle buses for passengers.
Therefore, private jets are not something that ordinary people can afford.
Xiao Jinhua's plan to send himself back to Jingzhou by private jet must have had a deeper meaning.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Xiao Jinhua quickly bowed and smiled:
"Mr. Zhao, you're too kind. It's my honor, Xiao Jinhua, to go to Jingzhou with you!"
"I'll have someone arrange a flight to Jingzhou right now. Please continue with your breakfast, and we'll see you later!"
Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.
After Xiao Jinhua left, he looked up at Qin Shuang, who remained motionless.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat? Or is none of this breakfast food to your liking?"
"No, no, no, I want to eat it."
Qin Shuang bit her lip.
After moving most of the glass of milk away, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Zhao Ruilong immediately understood what was going on.
Back then, Chen Yang was the same way.
He even called himself to complain.
She said she felt nauseous at the sight of cream puffs and vomited at the smell of seafood.
However, once she got used to her outgoing and enthusiastic nature, Zhao Ruilong became a little worried that she had too much of an appetite.
But Qin Shuang is clearly different from Chen Yang.
Even if she adapts in the future, she won't be as crazy as Chen Yang.
There was a vibration.
Zhao Ruilong took out his phone from his pocket and was immediately dumbfounded.
"Damn it, it really does happen just like I wish for it!"
"I was just thinking about that crazy woman Chen Yang, and then she called me. Does she have some kind of telepathic ability?"
While secretly complaining, Zhao Ruilong still answered the phone.
"Boss, where have you been busy lately?"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's sarcastic voice, Zhao Ruilong sensed something was wrong.
Chen Yang's period had obviously ended.
Under the stimulation of hormones, they become more proactive and passionate.
"I'm on a business trip in Tianjin. It's almost nine o'clock. Don't you have to work? Why are you calling me!"
Chen Yang chuckled.
"Of course I have to go to work, but I got a promotion, didn't you forget?"
"I have my own office now, would you like to come and experience it?"
"..."
Zhao Ruilong was instantly speechless.
On the surface, Chen Yang is quiet and demure, but after unleashing her true nature, she becomes increasingly crazy.
Not to mention that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, where she works, is not a place that can be entered casually.
