Once the airplane smoothly switched to autopilot.
They unbuckled their seatbelts and started to move around freely. The interior space of the Gulfstream G550 was not small, with exquisite decorations and comprehensive facilities. A liquor cabinet, card table, TV, and even a conference room were all available, although the style was somewhat traditional.
Chai Ren chugged a glass of chilled cola to alleviate the anxiety caused by the plane’s previous acceleration. Everyone else was fine, only Chai Ren had a slight air sickness, but it was very mild.
"Phew... it feels good. We still have more than ten hours until we arrive. Let’s play cards, how about Landlord? We have exactly three people." Chai Ren perked up immediately after the chilled cola.
"I don’t gamble." Tang Qing shook his head.
"How about playing without money?" Chai Ren was persistent.
"Still no, my family doesn’t allow it." Tang Qing was behaving like a well-behaved child, even playing poker for fun didn’t interest him. There were plenty of other things to do, why play poker?
Even grabbing Lin Jiaxue’s hand could entertain him for an afternoon.
"Then let’s play chess instead, it won’t be so boring. Do you know how to play?" Chai Ren gave up persuading, knowing that Tang Qing is a man of his word, which made him admire Tang Qing even more. Having principles is a good thing.
Meanwhile, Mu Jian was amusing his daughter with the story of The Ugly Duckling, so Chai Ren could only find Tang Qing to pass the time. As for his wife Zhan Xi, she was absorbed in fashion magazines with Liu Zhi, getting ready to go shopping later and didn’t have time to give him any attention.
"That sounds good." Tang Qing nodded. He hadn’t played chess in many years.
Ten minutes later.
"Another round."
Chai Ren, who originally intended to let Tang Qing have a few points, was swiftly defeated.
...
After another round.
"No way, I can’t believe it, let’s have another round." Chai Ren looked troubled.
...
After five rounds.
"Little Tang, how about we play Go? The rules are simple, whoever ends up with more territory at the end..." Chai Ren, who had been getting hammered, wanted to switch to a new game since Tang Qing said he hadn’t played Go with anyone before.
...
After three rounds.
Chai Ren was beginning to doubt his intelligence.
With a push of his hand, "Enough, this is too depressing. Little Tang, is this really your first time playing Go? I never want to play Go again, let’s just watch TV. Jianzi, do you have any DVDs?"
"They’re all in English, mostly from the U.S... oh, there’s also Jackie Chan’s ’Rumble in the Bronx’, and a few other films by him." Mu Jian took out a bunch of DVDs from the cabinet.
"Great, let’s watch that." Chai Ren decided.
So, a group of people gathered to watch this movie that premiered in 1995.
Flying can actually be quite boring. In the end, they could only pass the time like this, watching Jackie Chan’s films one by one. Even though they had seen some of them several times before, re-watching them was still enjoyable.
Ten years.
The classics never fade.
As for kung fu comedies, only Jackie Chan could pull them off in China.
To adjust to the time difference in Hawaii, they started to shift their body clocks on the plane.
With their heads covered.
Listening to the dialogue from the movie.
Tang Qing dozed off.
...
More than ten hours later.
Hawaii.
Honolulu International Airport.
The Gulfstream G550 slowly landed. They had departed in the afternoon in their home country, but due to the time difference, it was still afternoon in Hawaii.
The weather was beautiful.
Azure seas and clear skies.
The faint white clouds floated in the sky. The planes landing and taking off showed how busy the airport was. The United States has many tycoons, so private jets are quite common, if not everywhere.
However, most of the private jets were for short-haul or stop-over flights. Ultra-long-range jets like theirs were rare and were owned only by super-rich individuals. Once the plane was parked, it was taken to the hangar. If they hadn’t reserved it many days in advance, there probably wouldn’t have been any space for them. They would have had to fly back to the U.S. mainland.
After disembarking, Mu Jian loudly said, "Let’s go. I’ve arranged for a hotel. The hotel’s car is waiting for us outside. We’ll play around here for a few days before going to my farm."
This was their itinerary for the upcoming days.
After that, they took their luggage and headed to the airport exit, going through a special exit. The African American border control officers were extremely courteous. In America, having money meant everything.
Upon leaving the airport.
A car from the Hilton Hawaiian Village was waiting for them.
Seeing the car picking them up.
A limousine.
The treatment truly was on another level. So thoughtful.
"Don’t get too excited. This has an extra charge. Only the high-end suites get free airport shuttle service. It’s such a pity, here they gather rich people from all over the world. Some of them have so much money that they permanently rent out the Presidential Suite, like this Saudi tycoon. The fact that I managed to book a business suite is already pretty decent." Mu Jian could only sigh with a bitter smile.
What can he do when there are so many tycoons here?
He had specially booked this car to show off a little.
Chai Ren laughed and said, "It’s okay, we’re not here to settle down. We’re just here to see the sea views. It’s my first time in Hawaii. I’ve heard that the beaches here are beautiful. I really have to experience it."
"Are you thinking about looking at bikini-clad beauties?" Mu Jian inserted slyly.
With his face unchanged, Chai Ren uprightly said, "Nonsense, looking at my wife is enough, why would I want to look at women in bikinis?"
"Haha," Mu Jian curtly replied.
"What are you laughing at, you don’t know my character?" Chai Ren said indignantly.
"I know, it’s... good." Mu Jian said.
"What’s with the tone?"
"I already said it was good."
"Why do you have to space it out that much?"
"Because I want to."
"...."
Tang Qing was smiling as he listened to their banter, Zhan Xi and Liu Zhi looked at each other helplessly.
Sitting in the car, Tang Qing held Lin Jiaxue’s hand and looked at the palm trees outside the window. He was in a very good mood. The sunlight on Tang Qing’s face made Lin Jiaxue a bit fascinated.
While men might be fascinated with a woman’s appearance, women are equally fascinated by a man’s masculinity.
In the midst of the noise around them.
The car arrived at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki Beach. Although they didn’t book a large suite, a sea view room was available. Walking into the room, pulling back the curtains.
The soft sunlight came in.
Tang Qing pulled Lin Jiaxue to his side, wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "Jiaxue, do you like the view?"
"Mm," Lin Jiaxue nodded.
"We should get a sea view room in the future," Tang Qing said on a whim.
"Don’t we already have a villa?" Lin Jiaxue said.
"This is for vacation purposes. Shanghai won’t work, there aren’t any good beaches there. We could consider the southern province though, it’s always spring there, perfect for vacations," Tang Qing said lightly. With its long coastline and developed tourism industry, getting a sea view room in the southern province shouldn’t be a problem.
"Mm. I listen to you," said Lin Jiaxue, nodding obediently. She supported whatever decision Tang Qing made.
"Good."
With Lin Jiaxue in his arms, Tang Qing looked at the azure sea outside the window, feeling total tranquility in his heart.
After a while.
Corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He could feel.
The team responsible for security was in place and even checked his room in advance. In this moment, he had a feeling of being surrounded by his own people. He had dispatched many fighters to the United States, which is considered to be a major competitor in the future.
As of today, the number of fighters infiltrating the United States has reached 800, totaling more than 1,500 across America.
Most of them act as emergency squads, carrying out tasks like intelligence gathering and surveillance. They lie low in ordinary times, meanwhile helping the command room to raise funds. People of the Pixiu Plan, Tongtian, and similar to the ’African Protection Umbrella’ plan.
Eight hundred people weren’t exactly a lot.
The impact isn’t significant yet, but given time, they will be key to determining the strategies in the hands of Tang Qing as a sharp blade and a huge shield. Tang Qing discovered that fighters are particularly suited to do undercover work.
One day, I will have my people everywhere in the world.
It would be very interesting.
"Knock knock knock..."
The door sounded, Chai Ren’s voice came through.
"Little Tang, let’s go for a walk around," he said.
"Ok, we’ll get ready," replied Tang Qing.
Afterwards, they walked out of the room with Lin Jiaxue, she followed them around the hotel under the lead of her familiar friend, Mu Jian. Seeing people coming and going and occasionally catching a glimpse of women in bikinis walking on the street made Tang Qing feel a bit uncomfortable.
No doubt, foreign women seem less attractive compared to our Jiaxue.
Not Tang Qing’s taste.
Uninteresting.
He found Western women unattractive and preferred Chinese traditional beauty.
Although in some areas they might be bigger than his Jiaxue, he definitely believes that she will surpass them soon. Eating food from the training area every day, Lin Jiaxue seemed like she was experiencing a second puberty.
Under Tang Qing’s relentless efforts, significant progress has been made.
Having this thought.
Tang Qing unconsciously held Lin Jiaxue tighter, and his mind started fantasizing.
Hawaii.
Not only a paradise for tourism but also a shopping haven. Before long, they arrived at Seaside Avenue, lined with various luxury hotels, shops, and shopping centers. Zhan Xi and Liu Zhi became excited instantly and dragged in Lin Jiaxue immediately.
When the shop assistants saw three Chinese women.
Their faces were as bright as flowers. These were big customers. Although the concept of a shopping spree hadn’t come into trend during this era, the conversion rate for Chinese buyers was extremely high.
The three men also followed in and the bodyguards waited at the door.
All of them were wealthy.
They bought whatever caught their eye, Tang Qing also brought a card full of dollars.
However, only Tang Qing happily accompanied Lin Jiaxue to choose items, who usually being dragged into shopping by their wives. It was quite the opposite for Tang Qing, he always had to drag Lin Jiaxue out.
Anything he found nice, Tang Qing bought without asking the price.
Before long, the bodyguards were holding a bunch of large and small bags. Lin Jiaxue wanted to stop him, but every time he would say: ’I think you would look great in this.’ and continue picking items.
Chai Ren and others were speechless at how much more enthusiastically Tang Qing was at picking items than women.
"Learn something, see how considerate Little Tang is," Zhan Xi scolded Chai Ren who had a bitter look on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right, I regret, I made mistakes, I will correct...," Chai Ren was unconcerned, flattering other women may not be his strength, but flattering his own wife he was very good at.
They were sharing a bed anyway.
What was there to be shy about?
Act cheesy?
Impossible.
