Chapter 670 - 298: Do You Think Everyone Is as Rich as You

’That means as long as I don’t want kids, I can do whatever I want from now on.’

’And the women around me won’t have to take any pills.’

Xu Yun was now seriously starting to suspect that this so-called improved version of the Eight Pieces of Brocade was actually a top-tier Bedroom Technique straight out of a cultivation novel.

In the meantime, the flight crew for Xu Yun’s private jet had all been hired.

Through Lin Wanzhou’s connections, the pilots and maintenance crew hired to operate his plane were all top-tier elites who had retired from the military.

Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou even went on a test flight together, choosing the rather distant destination of Lhasa.

It was also the first time he saw Wang Qing in her flight attendant uniform.

The last time, when he flew to see Fu Baoying off, the uniforms hadn’t been finished, so she had just worn a casual outfit. It couldn’t compare at all to this one, which had been tailor-made and designed just for her.

There was no denying it—the pure white uniform suited her perfectly.

Paired with a blue silk scarf, the effect was simply stunning.

Now *this* was the quintessential flight attendant.

’Good thing I didn’t act out of spite back then and decided to hire her after all.’

’Having a woman like this serving me... setting all else aside, she’s just so easy on the eyes.’

Even Lin Wanzhou was a little stunned by her appearance.

He had no idea where Xu Yun found so many beautiful women.

After takeoff, Wang Qing’s service was impeccable. Following her professional training, her conduct was so polished that Xu Yun couldn’t find a single fault.

It made Xu Yun see her in a new light.

He hadn’t seen her in a while, and it was like she had become a completely different person—her demeanor, her attitude, everything had changed.

Then there was Xu Yun’s first flight experience.

The pilot was skilled, no doubt about it, but he probably hadn’t shaken his old habit of flying fighter jets. The ride was so aggressive that Wang Qing, who was serving Xu Yun, kept getting knocked off balance by the turbulence and tumbling into his arms.

During a few of the smaller jolts, Xu Yun suspected she was throwing herself at him on purpose.

’So that’s how it is. Her true nature hasn’t changed. Trying to seduce me, are we?’

But he wasn’t afraid of being seduced anymore.

Nor was he afraid of any woman getting close to him just for his money.

’The bottom line is, as long as you can make me happy, I won’t be stingy with my money.’

’It’s a shame Lin Wanzhou is here, making things inconvenient. Otherwise, I’d definitely show her a thing or two at thirty thousand feet!’

After arriving in Lhasa, Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou had a long, serious talk with the pilot.

A private jet wasn’t about speed; it was about comfort, stability, and safety.

On the return trip, Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou finally got to experience the true skill of a military-trained elite. The flight was both incredibly smooth and fast.

The ride was so smooth that even if Wang Qing had wanted to fall into Xu Yun’s arms again, she couldn’t find a plausible excuse.

After they landed back at Jiangcheng International Airport, the flight crew was naturally on leave since Xu Yun had no further flights planned.

Before they parted ways, Wang Qing privately found Xu Yun and, steeling herself, asked for a salary advance.

Hearing this, Xu Yun smiled and retorted, "It’s only your second day on the job and you already want an advance? What makes you think I’d give you one?"

"My rent is due soon."

Wang Qing explained, "If I don’t pay it, I’ll be evicted."

"And how is that my problem?"

"President Xu, I’m begging you. Please, help me."

Wang Qing said, "About what happened before with you and Huang Mengyao... I was in the wrong. I’m willing to do anything, just say the word."

"Including sleeping with me?"

"If that’s what you want, then yes."

Xu Yun looked at the humbled woman before him and suddenly felt there was no point in deliberately making things difficult for her. He felt no satisfying thrill of revenge at all.

"Go on home. I’ll have someone deposit the money into your account."

"Thank you, President Xu."

After she left, Lin Wanzhou, who had been standing to the side, commented with a knowing look, "You two have some history?"

"You could say that."

Xu Yun laughed self-deprecatingly. "But to be honest, without her ’contributions,’ I might not be where I am today."

His words immediately made Lin Wanzhou think of a classic, melodramatic storyline.

In the past, Wang Qing had looked down on Xu Yun for being poor and dumped him.

The tides turn, and fortunes change. Never underestimate a young man just because he’s poor!

Now Xu Yun had returned as a tycoon, and Wang Qing was eating her words, filled with endless regret.

’But Xu Yun doesn’t really seem like someone who used to be poor,’ Lin Wanzhou thought.

’The vast fortune he possesses now isn’t something he could have accumulated in just a few years.’

’So his family must have always been wealthy.’

"By the way,"

Xu Yun asked, "has your dear Yurou started her job yet?"

"She started two days ago."

Lin Wanzhou said, "Are you free right now? Why don’t you come with me to see her? I’ve been so busy with your matters these past few days that I haven’t had a chance to check on her."

"Sure, let’s go."

Xu Yun had been wanting to check out the supermarket owned by Yan Can’s family anyway.

So, the two of them drove to a three-story building located next to Guotai.

Xu Yun had assumed that Yan Can’s family’s supermarket would be one of those basement-level places that only sold groceries and other retail goods.

But it turned out to be a large, comprehensive department store.

The first floor was a supermarket, the second floor sold home appliances, and the third was dedicated to apparel.

Although it wasn’t as massive as one of the retail juggernauts, his family owned fifty such stores across the country!

Aside from this main branch in the first-tier city of Jiangcheng, the other stores were mostly in third and fourth-tier cities and counties, where they dominated the local market.

After all, major commercial complexes like Wanda and The Mixc only operated in first and second-tier cities, so they didn’t compete with Yan Can’s family in those smaller markets.

The two of them entered the store and began to wander aimlessly inside.

Xu Yun asked, "Aren’t you going to call her?"

"No need. Yurou said she’d be in the grocery section for the next couple of days, getting familiar with the inventory."

Lin Wanzhou said, "If we walk around a bit, we’re bound to run into her."

"..." Xu Yun was speechless.

He looked at the vast, bustling crowd of shoppers and was utterly speechless.

’Finding someone in here would really come down to fate.’

Fortunately, true to his background as a reconnaissance scout, it didn’t take long for Lin Wanzhou to spot Wang Yurou in the crowd.

"You can spot her from this far away?"

Xu Yun couldn’t help but admire his sharp eyes.

But Lin Wanzhou’s gaze softened as he said, "You’re mistaken. It’s not that my eyesight is good. It’s because she stands out from the crowd, so you can recognize her in an instant."

"..." Xu Yun cringed.

’Damn it, that’s cheesy as hell!’

’The worst part was, the guy had dragged him along just to stage this little ’accidental’ encounter.’

"Oh!"

Wang Yurou, who was stocking a shelf, looked up at their sudden appearance and called out happily, "Brother Lin, Brother Xu, what are you two doing here?"

"We were just passing by."

Lin Wanzhou said, "I realized we were out of laundry detergent at home, so I figured I’d pop in to buy some. Didn’t expect to run into you here."

"This is the snack aisle,"

Wang Yurou said, confused, "Shouldn’t you be in the household goods section? Besides, I’m sure I bought some last time. There should still be some at home."

"..." Lin Wanzhou was at a loss for words.

Seeing his awkward expression, Xu Yun held back a laugh. "Hahaha, that’s what you get for putting on an act... Yurou, he was just worried about you. He specially dragged me over here to see how you were doing and if you’re getting used to the job."

"I knew it,"

Wang Yurou replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m doing great. My colleagues are all taking good care of me."

But just as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman walked over.

The woman wore a blazer and clearly had the air of a supervisor. She said disapprovingly, "Yurou, the manager sent you here to get familiar with the inventory, not to hide here and chat with your friends."

"I’m sorry, Manager Li."

Wang Yurou shot them a look, saying, "You two go ahead and browse. I have to get back to work. I’ll call you after my shift."

With that, she followed the woman to another section.

Xu Yun smiled and asked, "What’s wrong? Did seeing that upset you?"

"No," Lin Wanzhou lied.

Xu Yun offered some comfort, "It’s normal for new hires to get picked on by the old-timers. As long as she slowly learns how to handle these situations herself, it’s a sign of growth. That’s how she’ll find her footing in the company and build a stable career."

"I understand the principle of it."

Lin Wanzhou shot back, "Then why don’t you make your women go through this kind of hardship?"

"My women are all bosses. No one would dare give them a hard time."

Xu Yun laughed. "If you’ve got the means, then you should open a supermarket for your woman and make her the boss."

"..." Lin Wanzhou fell into a frustrated silence.

’You think everyone’s as rich as you are?!’

"Xu Yun?"

Suddenly, a familiar female voice called out from behind him.

He turned to see a beautiful woman walking toward him. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, running into you here."

"It certainly is,"

Xu Yun said, his eyes landing on the item in the beauty’s hand as he blurted out, "Oh, you’re here to buy sanitary pads."
