"Hurry up and agree."
Penguin Ma almost cried out.
If everyone went to Hancheng to attend Shark Platform's feast, it would be utterly unforgivable if he didn't find an opportunity to confront Jack Ma.
Xia Feng looked at Xia Lin's eager eyes and smiled, saying, "Then let's go. It's good to get out and about."
"Hooray!"
After receiving Xia Feng's affirmation, Xia Lin jumped up excitedly.
"Ooh yeah!"
Penguin Ma clenched his fists tightly and secretly made an 'ooh yeah' gesture under the table.
Then, he looked at Jack Ma with unfriendly eyes.
"You've been hogging all the opportunities, not leaving any for me."
"Young Master Xia, please take my private jet. I'll arrange the itinerary." Jiang Quanshui seized the opportunity, not missing a single moment.
"Alright, then you arrange it," Xia Feng agreed.
Jiang Quanshui was overjoyed upon hearing this and smilingly assured, "Young Master Xia, rest assured, I'll arrange everything perfectly for the journey."
Jack Ma and Penguin Ma regretted their oversight.
This excellent opportunity to impress had been snatched away by Jiang Quanshui.
Shark Platform's seventh-anniversary celebration was scheduled to be held in three days. Everyone planned to leave tomorrow, which would allow them to spend two days in Hancheng.
The next morning, five luxury cars drove out of Xia Feng's villa and headed directly for the airport.
Last night, Jiang Quanshui had already filed the flight plan with the civil aviation authorities, allowing them to depart at any time the next day.
Jiang Quanshui's private jet was a small passenger plane. Besides the office area, it could accommodate over thirty people and was luxuriously decorated.
Among the group, Xia Lin was flying on a private jet for the first time, and she was filled with curiosity about everything.
Although Xia Lin's life had changed drastically, she remained the same pure young lady.
"Lin'er, let's play Dou Dizhu. It'll take two hours to get to Hancheng," Qin Wen called out to Xia Lin from beside a desk.
"Okay," Xia Lin replied and ran over.
The plane had five dedicated flight attendants. It was equipped with everything for dining, drinking, and entertainment, including a small KTV for passing the time.
For some reason, there were no male flight attendants. Perhaps it was due to the preferences of Jiang Quanshui and his son.
Xia Lin, Qin Wen, and Ma Yuqin started playing Dou Dizhu, while Guomin Xiao Wang and a few others gathered nearby to watch.
"I'm the landlord," Xia Lin declared, dealing the cards.
The bottom cards were a small joker and a 4 and a K.
Coincidentally, Xia Lin had a big joker and three Ks in her hand, which was a perfect combination.
Having no bombs initially, she was now able to call 'landlord' with two bombs.
Xia Lin played a single card first. Ma Yuqin followed with one, and Qin Wen immediately played a 2 to overpower it.
Xia Lin passed a hand of cards. Qin Wen then played a sequence of 'flying' cards with two singles.
Xia Lin was bewildered and couldn't help but unleash her four Ks in a bomb.
In the end, Xia Lin was left with the double jokers and two single cards, a 4 and a J.
Qin Wen's cards were in a good sequence. She directly took Ma Yuqin's cards, and Xia Lin lost.
"Oh no, I lost, this is so frustrating," Xia Lin said dejectedly, looking at Qin Wen, who had already finished her cards.
"Haha... You're so bad. You shouldn't have used the four Ks earlier; Qin Wen wouldn't have been able to finish either," Guomin Xiao Wang laughed.
Xia Lin was startled by Qin Wen's aggressive play, forcing her to use her bombs.
The two-hour flight passed quickly with the group chattering and laughing.
As the plane landed at Hanhe International Airport, waiting cars were already there. Jiang Quanshui had arranged all the services perfectly.
"Uncle Jiang, let's go to my family's hotel," Guomin Xiao Wang suggested as soon as they disembarked.
Guomin Xiao Wang's family also owned a hotel in Hancheng, the Yida Ruihua Hotel.
"No need, I've already booked suites at the Huameida Hotel," Jiang Quanshui chuckled, intending to provide the best service.
If he didn't arrange these minor matters meticulously when Xia Feng himself came to Hancheng, how could he be considered a qualified sycophant?
The job of a sycophant was to arrange everything perfectly, leaving no room for criticism. In this regard, Jiang Quanshui was indeed very thorough.
"Alright, let's go then," Guomin Xiao Wang agreed.
After Jiang Quanshui bustled about ensuring everyone got into their cars, the head of the Hancheng branch, Jiang Zhongwen, walked over looking bewildered.
He couldn't comprehend it. Jiang Quanshui was also one of the big shots in the country, even if he wasn't famous online. His businesses were even larger than Yida's current operations.
He naturally had a branch company in Hancheng, a major central city.
And such a formidable general manager was acting like an attendant, serving a young man.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes through his 800-degree glasses, he wouldn't have believed it.
"Mr. Jiang," Jiang Zhongwen approached and called out softly.
Although Jiang Zhongwen also had the surname Jiang, he was not related to Jiang Quanshui in any way.
"What is it?" Jiang Quanshui turned and asked Jiang Zhongwen.
"I have something to report to you," Jiang Zhongwen said.
"Get in the car, you can report to me in the car." Jiang Quanshui glanced at the car in front and then quickly opened the door and got in.
"What do you need to report?" Jiang Quanshui asked after getting in the car.
"Mr. Jiang, I reported your visit to Hancheng to Deputy Provincial Governor Liu, and he wants to invite you to dinner tonight," Jiang Zhongwen briefed Jiang Quanshui about the evening's arrangements.
Deputy Provincial Governor Liu was the fifth most influential figure in Beisheng Province. (Due to censorship, some positions are referred to as 'big shots'.)
Jiang Quanshui was taken aback.
"Who the hell told you to blurt that out? I don't have time." Jiang Quanshui immediately scolded Jiang Zhongwen.
"What kind of dinner? Can't you see I'm here to serve someone else?"
"This..." Jiang Zhongwen was confused by the scolding.
"Quickly call and cancel; I don't have time," Jiang Quanshui continued.
Jiang Quanshui didn't care who was inviting him to dinner. Being by Xia Feng's side, he wouldn't go anywhere else.
"Uh... okay," Jiang Zhongwen, not daring to argue, nodded.
Jiang Zhongwen then dialed the secretary of Deputy Provincial Governor Liu. As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Zhongwen said, "Secretary Wang, please cancel the banquet for tonight. Mr. Jiang is indisposed."
"What's wrong with Mr. Jiang? Is he inconvenient?" Secretary Wang's confused voice came through the phone.
Jiang Quanshui had made significant investments in Hancheng, and it was Deputy Provincial Governor Liu who had personally attracted these investments. Therefore, Deputy Provincial Governor Liu attached great importance to Jiang Quanshui.
After all, big shots like Jiang Quanshui had considerable influence once they reached a certain level.
At the very least, Deputy Provincial Governor Liu had to show Jiang Quanshui respect.
In this era, anyone who could achieve great success must have a strong backing, especially those in the real economy.
Jiang Quanshui gestured to Jiang Zhongwen, signaling him to hand over the phone.
After taking the phone, Jiang Quanshui said with a smile, "Secretary Wang, I'm busy today. Let's arrange another time with Deputy Provincial Governor Liu."
Before Secretary Wang could reply, Jiang Quanshui hung up the phone.
Jiang Zhongwen was dumbfounded and utterly shocked.
"Is he really that formidable?"
