The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1350: Chapter 523: Bustling World_2

Public transportation has always been one of the focal areas of charity.

In the work report Jiang Qingkui gave to Zhou Wang earlier, the ”Wang Foundation” established deep collaborations with several major domestic airlines, among them was Shenzhen Airlines...

Although the ”Wang Foundation” is newly established, it raised billions in initial funding, which can be considered quite wealthy. The ”poverty alleviation flight plan” in collaboration with Shenzhen Airlines is one of the key projects.

The so-called ”poverty alleviation flight plan” mainly aims to open flights to remote areas of Huaxia, reduce travel costs for local people, and promote tourism and economic exchanges.

This was one of the items in Jiang Qingkui’s lengthy work report that Zhou Wang didn’t finish reading, and it was only through Zhao Ruixiang’s reminder that he finally recalled it.

This is also the fundamental reason why his name appeared on the internal list of Shenzhen Airlines.

After all, he is essentially one of Shenzhen Airlines’ partners, and his status is incomparable to that of ordinary VIP customers.

Of course, all the reasons mentioned above are merely superficial. The underlying logic remains Zhou Wang’s demonstrated capability, which is valued by Shenzhen Airlines.

The bustling world is all about benefits.

Just so.

Shi Ran, Zhou Wang immediately smiled, tightly shook hands with Zhao Ruixiang, and faced the camera of the airline’s PR department together. In the flash of the camera, they left a promotional photo that would later be published on the airline’s official website.

...

Everyone was busy, and after chatting for about twenty minutes, when Zhou Wang got up to leave, Zhao Ruixiang didn’t try to retain him further but asked for Zhou Wang’s private WeChat and earnestly requested that when Zhou Wang is in Peng City, he must allow him to host a banquet.

Zhou Wang agreed, and when he left with a few girls, the large and small pieces of luggage they had checked in were already brought over by the staff of Shenzhen Airlines, saving them a lot of trouble.

Only when they exited the terminal did the two flight attendants who helped transport the luggage stop. Zhou Wang pretended not to notice the hooks in their gazes, thanked them politely, took the luggage, and left the terminal with the four girls who had been whispering together.

Su Yajing didn’t mind the flight attendants’ attempts to flirt with Zhou Wang, in fact, she felt a sense of pride, especially seeing Cui Min’er’s hesitant expression, which brought Su Yajing a secret pleasure...

A brother is indeed a brother, even when they are ”traveling incognito”...uh, is that the right usage of the term?

Anyway, no matter where they go, Zhou Wang always makes a grand entrance.

That Mr. Zhao obviously didn’t expect Zhou Wang to bring four female companions, but he didn’t forget his manners, gifting each of them a Zunpeng Club gold card.

Unlimited baggage allowance, global VIP lounges, and higher compensation for delays were all good, but what truly delighted them was the ”free upgrade” privilege. It meant that as long as there were seats available, whenever they flew with Shenzhen Airlines, they could enjoy the comfort of business class at economy class prices.

People, people, a lifetime of empty years, isn’t it the scenery above different social strata they pursue?

Even if, it’s just the tip of the iceberg...

But soon, Su Yajing was not so delighted anymore.

”Is this the luxury business car you mentioned?”

Upon arriving at the designated location, Su Yajing looked at the old MPV behind the driver, with parts of its body clearly peeling, and couldn’t help but feel angry.

But with Su Yajing’s delicate appearance, her anger clearly lacked impact, so the driver wasn’t worried and just replied with a smile:

”Oh, I’m so sorry, today we have too many people to pick up, none of our newer cars are available, only this one is left... Actually, it just looks old, but the inside is very comfortable...”

Su Yajing argued a bit more with the driver, but this middle-aged man, weathered by life, was clearly an experienced old hand in society. Regardless of how Su Yajing reasoned, he had his own defenses, leaving her momentarily helpless.

At that moment, after finishing a phone call, Zhou Wang extinguished his cigarette, noticed the girls’ troubled expressions, and walked over, surprised, asking, ”Ranran, what’s wrong?”

Pouting, Su Yajing finally explained the situation to Zhou Wang.

As it turns out, having done some research in advance, Su Yajing didn’t book a hotel this time. Instead, she chose a well-rated local boutique inn on an app. However, during her contact with the inn’s owner, they recommended an airport transfer service. At the time, Su Yajing thought it was convenient to avoid finding a ride herself, so she agreed...

Only, she never expected that the so-called high-end transfer service, commanding a fare of 600, would send such a ”run-down” vehicle, leading to her dissatisfaction.

Understanding the story, Zhou Wang glanced at the MPV behind the driver.

Based on the brand, it should be a Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi M5, a vehicle originally positioned as an ”economical” business car.

Uh, strictly speaking, this can’t be called a business car, given that it costs less than a hundred thousand, it’s only the shape that matches, while other aspects fall short.

Of course, while it’s affordable, the interior decor isn’t lacking to the point of being unusable. However, the problem is this particular Dongfeng M5 looks quite old, likely nearing the mileage for mandatory scrapping, hence Su Yajing’s disdain.

”How about we change the car?”

Zhou Wang refrained from theoretical arguments with the driver, simply asking Su Yajing.

”But we have so much luggage, and changing would be troublesome, plus, I’ve already paid...”

Su Yajing replied with a hint of grievance.

Contemplating, Zhou Wang realized he could quickly resolve Su Yajing’s issue but noticed her indecisiveness. Considering this, he suggested, ”I think the car’s interior space is okay. Why not manage for now? It’s just a half-hour drive to the city if there’s no traffic...”

”Right, this gentleman is spot on. Don’t worry, I drive steadily, ensuring a comfortable ride!”

The driver quickly chimed in.

Only then did Su Yajing nod in agreement. Immediately, Zhou Wang took the front seat, while the four girls sat in the back. The Dongfeng M5 started, heading down the highway toward the city center of Peng City.

After the small hiccup, the four girls resumed their lively chatter in the back seat, discussing the day’s itinerary.

Not inclined to join the conversation, Zhou Wang initially wanted to play some music for relaxation. He was used to this practice, feeling something was missing without music, whether driving or being a passenger.

However, the car’s Bluetooth seemed faulty, failing to connect after several attempts, so Zhou Wang gave up. Coupled with the hard seat cushioning, he couldn’t nap and eventually just rolled down the window to watch the roadside scenery.

As the vehicle turned into the northern Moon Bay Avenue from the highway, the full view of one of the world’s youngest top-tier cities gradually unfolded before Zhou Wang’s eyes.

Peng City is a city full of legends.

Awakening from the flickers of fishermen’s lights, it took only thirty to forty years, to paint towering dreams with the brush of a ”Special Zone”.

Miraculous Peng City is a miracle in itself, regarded as a ”goldmine of the era” by many, with numerous tales of overnight riches.

The well-read Zhou Wang might describe Peng City this way:

”This city has no wrinkles, simply because this forty-year-old is still in his youth.”

Just as Zhou Wang was engrossed in a sudden artistic sentiment, ready to snap a photo and post on social media, the vehicle unexpectedly veered off the main road, making the distant steel jungle, which was just coming into view, seem remote again.

”?”

Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.

Because Su Yajing had mentioned on the plane that they would be staying in the most bustling city center of Peng City, but the route seemed off...
