89: Boeing 787BBJ

Every movement was precise and graceful, her physical coordination better than ever before. Her limbs were supple yet powerful, her dancing as light and elegant as a startled swan.

After finishing a segment, she stopped, her breathing a bit hurried, her face filled with disbelief.

"Wang Chen, you... what exactly did you do to me?"

Wang Chen walked over and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I just gave you a little cheat code."

"A cheat code?"

"Mm." Wang Chen thought for a moment and decided to be partially honest. "I have some special abilities that allow people to quickly master certain skills. But I can only use them on those closest to me."

He paused, looking into Su Yue's eyes. "Now I'm telling you. My identity... is more complicated than you imagine. Chenxi Media is mine, so is Chenxi Grand Hotel. I have some industries, some resources, and some... people I need to protect."

Su Yue was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao, they're both working for you, right?"

Wang Chen nodded. "Yes! I gave Xiao Xiao acting roles and Xiao Xiao internship opportunities, all because... I love you, so I want to be good to them too."

Su Yue's eyes turned red. "So you've done so much for me?"

"Because you're worth it." Wang Chen kissed her forehead. "But Xiao Xiao and I are just in a boss-employee relationship, don't overthink it."

This wasn't exactly a lie, at least for now.

Su Yue leaned into his embrace, tears falling. "You fool... why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid you'd leave me once you knew, and afraid I'd scare you." Wang Chen said with a smile. "Not afraid now?"

"Not afraid." Su Yue shook her head. "As long as it's you, I'm not afraid of anything."

The two were affectionate for a while longer before Wang Chen took out his phone to transfer money to Su Yue.

"I'll transfer some pocket money to you. Buy whatever you want."

Su Yue looked at the transfer amount: a 1 followed by eight zeros.

One hundred million!

She quickly pressed down Wang Chen's hand. "I don't want it! This is too much money, I have no use for it!"

"How can you not use it? Buy clothes, buy cosmetics, buy things you like."

"Really, there's no need." Su Yue was very insistent. "I can make money from livestreaming now, and Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao have started earning too. I don't need this much money."

Wang Chen couldn't win the argument. Finally, after much persuasion, Su Yue agreed to accept one million.

"I'll save this million for a rainy day."

Wang Chen felt helpless. "Fine. But if you're short on money in the future, you must tell me."

"I know."

Sweet days always pass quickly.

That day, while Wang Chen was having lunch with Su Yue, Chen Yi's call came through.

"Boss, the flight attendants have been recruited. Five in total, all at the top of the industry. However, one of them named Xu Xiyuan has some family matters and requested leave. The others can start anytime."

"Xu Xiyuan?" Wang Chen didn't think much of it, just repeating the name to himself. "Fine, you handle the arrangements. Get the plane ready, I'm returning to Yi City the day after tomorrow."

"Understood, I'll have someone apply for the flight route and time immediately!"

Hanging up, Wang Chen looked at Su Yue. "I'm going back to Yi City for the New Year the day after tomorrow."

Su Yue's chopsticks, which were picking up food for Wang Chen, paused. She said softly, "Mm... be careful on the road."

"How about..." Wang Chen asked tentatively, "You, Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, and Girl Xi all come to Yi City for the New Year? I have several houses there, there's plenty of room."

Su Yue shook her head with a gentle smile. "No need. It would be too much of a bother for the four of us to go. Besides, you should spend the New Year with your family, right?"

In her heart, she was thinking that Wang Chen had mentioned bringing his parents over for the New Year. What would it look like if she brought her two daughters along?

If it made Wang Chen's parents uncomfortable or put Wang Chen in an awkward position, that would be terrible.

Wang Chen didn't know her thoughts; he assumed she was just afraid of being a bother and didn't insist further.

"Then after the New Year, I'll come back to see you."

"Okay."

The day before leaving, Wang Chen decided to take Chen Yi, Chenlong, Yi Yao, and his other capable assistants back to Yi City for the New Year.

Chen Yi originally wanted to stay behind to manage work, but was shut down by Wang Chen saying, "Your boss is giving you a holiday, you dare not take it?"

Chenlong didn't care at all. Since he was now Wang Chen's 'head bodyguard,' he went wherever Wang Chen went.

Yi Yao was so excited she jumped up. "Going to Yi City for the New Year? Great, great! I can finally meet the legendary Sister Ruoxi and the other sisters!"

Wang Chen had Chen Yi send a notice to all employees: except for essential posts, everyone was on holiday.

Bonuses and festival gifts had already been arranged for distribution so everyone could enjoy the New Year in peace.

As soon as the news broke, the whole company was buzzing.

"Holy crap! The bonus is six months' salary!"

"The boss is so generous!"

"This New Year gift pack is way too thick!"

"For a divine company like this, I wouldn't leave even for a hundred million!"

Su Xiao Xiao, who was in the finance department of Chenxi Grand Hotel, was stunned when she saw an extra five hundred thousand in her account.

She ran to ask the manager, "Manager, this bonus? Was it sent by mistake?"

The manager said with a chuckle, "No mistake. President Wang specifically instructed it—an extra reward for outstanding employees. Xiao Xiao, you've performed well; you earned this."

Su Xiao Xiao walked back to her seat in a daze, her heart filled with gratitude toward that 'President Wang' she had only met a few times.

Su Xiao Xiao and An Jinxi also received a five-hundred-thousand-yuan bonus.

The two were out shopping when they suddenly heard their phone notifications. They quickly found a quiet place and counted the zeros on the screen.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands..." After An Jinxi finished counting, she gasped. "Five hundred thousand! Xiao Xiao, I've never seen so much money in my life!"

Su Xiao Xiao was also shocked. "The company is this generous?"

"It must have been arranged by Brother Chen!" An Jinxi's eyes sparkled. "No way, I have to call him!"

When the call connected, Wang Chen's voice came through: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Chen! Did you order the bonuses to be sent?" An Jinxi asked directly.

"Mm, a reward for outstanding employees." Wang Chen said with a smile. "Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love you to death!" An Jinxi blurted out, only realizing what she said after the fact. Her face flushed, and she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, I heard from Sister Xiao Xiao that you're going back to Yi City?"

"Yes. Flight is the day after tomorrow in the morning."

"We'll come see you off!" An Jinxi said. "Xiao Xiao and I!"

Wang Chen thought about it. "Alright. But no need to come too early; getting to the airport by ten is fine."

"Got it!"

On the morning of departure, at the Hangzhou International Airport Business Jet Terminal.

When Su Xiao Xiao and An Jinxi arrived by taxi, they were startled by the scene before them.

Wang Chen stood at the front with dozens of people behind him. Chenlong, Yi Yao, and Chen Yi were all there, along with twenty or so security personnel in Dragon Shield International uniforms.

The most exaggerated thing was the plane parked nearby.

A Boeing 787BBJ, entirely white, with the four large characters 'Chenxi Future' sprayed on the fuselage, shimmering in the sunlight.

"Chenxi? Ho... ly..." An Jinxi swore. "This plane... is Brother Chen's?"
