In fact, Cheng Xiaofan was also extremely exhilarated at this moment. This small country truly lived up to its reputation for producing an abundance of gold and beautiful women!
His trip here this time had been a double harvest of both gold and beauty.
If this news were to spread back home, wouldn't those who were jealous of him be so angry they'd spit blood!
However, with Lorraine and Fanny presenting themselves in China as heads of the resident representative office, no one would suspect anything about them.
Even if some people suspected they were his women, they could only gossip about it in secret.
"Old Meng, if you have nothing else, I'm going back to rest!"
Cheng Xiaofan stood up and said with a smile.
Mengxizi quickly replied, "Esteemed Master, please rest here this afternoon."
"The Queen has prepared a room for you."
"Let Lorraine and Fanny attend to your rest!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was completely speechless.
He looked at Mengxizi and said, "Old Meng, isn't this a bit inappropriate!"
Mengxizi said, "What's inappropriate about it? I think it's very good!"
The Queen smiled and said, "Esteemed Master, this is my idea!"
"Please do me a favor!"
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze fell upon the two sisters.
In Lorraine and Fanny's pair of moist eyes,
They immediately cast expectant glances at him.
The next moment,
Cheng Xiaofan felt as if he had been electrocuted,
His entire being melted into her gaze.
...
By the time he woke up, the sun was already setting in the west.
Cheng Xiaofan was once again kept by Mengxizi and his wife, and they had dinner at the palace.
Originally, Mengxizi and the Queen wanted to keep him at the palace for the night, but Cheng Xiaofan considered that he would be returning tomorrow.
If he stayed another night in the palace, he would have no reasonable explanation to give Xiang Wanli.
On the way back, Lorraine drove him, while Fanny, as usual, snuggled close to Cheng Xiaofan like a little bird.
They arrived downstairs at the state guesthouse.
The two sisters both got out of the car,
And with affectionate glances, they said to Cheng Xiaofan, "Esteemed Master, we look forward to meeting you in China!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "That's for sure!"
"It's getting late, you two should go back!"
"Okay, then we'll be going back!"
After watching them drive away, Cheng Xiaofan went upstairs.
"Mr. Cheng, you're back!"
Xiang Wanli saw Cheng Xiaofan and quickly stepped forward, greeting him with a radiant smile.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes, I was supposed to be back this afternoon,"
"But Old Meng was too enthusiastic and insisted I stay for dinner at the palace!"
Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "You've made immense contributions to this small country,"
"It's only right for him to invite you for a meal!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Low profile, low profile!"
"Beautiful Miss Xiang, you shouldn't be saying that!"
Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "I'm speaking based on facts!"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter, reached out, and playfully pinched her delicate nose,
Saying, "Beautiful lady, don't flatter me too much,"
"Get some rest early, we'll be returning home tomorrow!"
"Okay, let's get some rest early!"
Xiang Wanli said excitedly.
...
At exactly nine o'clock the next morning.
A convoy of cars stopped downstairs at the state guesthouse.
Mengxizi, the Queen, and some ministers had all come to see them off.
When Cheng Xiaofan, Xiang Wanli, and the others came out of the state guesthouse,
Those people walked forward, especially Mengxizi, who had tears in his eyes,
And said to Cheng Xiaofan, "Esteemed Master, I truly hate to see you leave!"
"If it weren't for your urgent need to return for matters,"
"I would really want to keep you in this small country for a few more days!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "There will be plenty of time in the future,"
"We will definitely have many opportunities to meet."
Mengxizi nodded and said, "Esteemed Master is right,"
"If there's an opportunity, the Queen and I will visit your hometown."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "That would be great,"
"You and the Queen are always welcome to visit my hometown, Zhuxi Village, at any time!"
The group got into the cars and drove towards the airport.
Just before boarding.
Mengxizi had twelve boxes brought over.
When the boxes were opened, they revealed a statue of a beautiful woman made of pure gold.
The names of the visitors were inscribed on the base of each statue.
Each statue weighed ten kilograms.
Mengxizi said to Xiang Wanli, "Director Xiang,"
"To my knowledge, your team that came to this small country,"
"Consisted of twelve people in total. Six of them have already returned home,"
"These golden statues were specially made by us for the Chinese team,"
"One for each person, as a small memento."
"I hope Director Xiang will accept them!"
Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "Your Majesty, our expedition to this small country this time,"
"Was purely voluntary. These items are too precious,"
"We cannot accept them!"
Upon hearing this, Mengxizi became anxious and said, "Director Xiang,"
"This is a token of our country's sincerity,"
"You must accept it no matter what."
The Queen immediately chimed in, "Director Xiang, please accept them!"
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Beautiful Miss Xiang,"
"Since the King and Queen have said so,"
"You should accept what is to be accepted."
"However, you cannot accept them for the previous six people!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Cheng."
"Your Majesty, apart from those present,"
"We cannot accept them for the previous six people!"
Mengxizi heard this and no longer insisted,
Smiling, he said, "Alright, Director Xiang, it's up to you!"
Xiang Wanli accepted six pure gold statues of beautiful women,
And distributed them to each person present on the spot.
The other three people were so happy their eyebrows almost flew up,
A pure gold statue, weighing ten kilograms, worth nearly five million!
In fact, to them, money was a minor issue; the significance was immense.
They were all thinking how fortunate they were to have taken Cheng Xiaofan's poison-removing elixir,
Otherwise, their fate would have been the same as the other four,
Who, along with Zhu Bailin and Lei Chu, had already been escorted back home.
The plane was about to take off.
Cheng Xiaofan waved to Mengxizi,
And said with a smile, "Old Meng, we're about to board,"
"You all should go back!"
Mengxizi, the Queen, and the others shouted in unison, "Esteemed Master, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Cheng Xiaofan replied,
And led the group onto the plane.
Boom!
The plane took off.
The Skybreaking Eagle also followed into the sky.
...
In the evening.
The plane landed at Beijing Airport on time.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan disembarked from the plane, Wu Shengnan stepped forward to greet him.
"Beautiful Miss Wu, why are you here?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked with a smile.
Wu Shengnan's face bloomed like a flower,
Saying, "I'm here to pick you up on Minister Zhang's orders!"
Cheng Xiaofan turned and waved to Xiang Wanli,
"Beautiful Miss Xiang, let's part ways here!"
Xiang Wanli looked at him with some reluctance,
Nodded and said, "Mm, Mr. Cheng, goodbye!"
