Gender-swapped Beautiful Girl, the Godly Rich System Takes Me to New Heights!

370: Grand welcomeMore than ten hours later, the plane landed smoothly on a private runway at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, taxied for a distance, and came to a gentle stop.

The cabin door slowly opened, and a silver air stair automatically extended to the ground. Holding Ah Fu, Lei Jun stepped off the plane, accompanied by Lei Ying, Lei Yue, Su Qing, and Su Ya.

Upon landing, her vision was momentarily dazzled by the welcoming entourage before her... The reception arranged by Walmart was even more lavish than she had anticipated.

The aircraft parking position had been temporarily cordoned off, with a black security perimeter established around the outer edge. Over a dozen security personnel in black suits stood ramrod straight, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, preventing unauthorized personnel from approaching.

From the base of the air stairs to the parking lot entrance stretched a fifty-meter-long red welcome carpet. Dozens of white flower baskets were neatly arranged on either side, filled with fresh white roses and blue hydrangeas—all top-tier floral materials airlifted from the Netherlands that very day, their fragrance permeating the air.

Behind the flower baskets, Walmart’s core executive team from headquarters had already lined up to wait. A full thirty-plus people, uniformly dressed in custom-tailored dark suits with matching ties, stood with such regimented posture it was as if they were undergoing a military inspection.

At the very front of the line, Walmart Chairman Greg Penner leaned forward slightly, his hands clasped in front of him, his gaze fixed intently on Lei Jun. A deliberately maintained respectful smile was on his face, and one could even see the slight tremor in his fingertips, betraying his nervousness.

Behind him, department heads like the CEO, COO, and CFO were arranged in order. No one dared to speak casually.

Passengers, airport staff, and media reporters inside the terminal, seeing this spectacle, halted in their tracks, gathering outside the security perimeter to discuss animatedly.

A middle-aged man from the USA, pushing a luggage cart, pointed at Lei Jun and asked his companion with a face full of confusion.

”Which East Asian country is she from? Yellow skin, black hair, she looks like someone from Dragon Country. So many Walmart executives are waiting here, putting on such a grand show, just to welcome a woman from Dragon Country?”

His companion, a young girl, gasped, covering her mouth.

”Oh my god! Am I seeing this right? That’s Greg Penner, Walmart’s Chairman! And next to him is CEO Mark Lore! They actually came to greet her in person, bringing so many executives. Who on earth is this woman from Dragon Country?”

Several airport staff in work uniforms huddled together, their tones filled with bewilderment and resentment.

A man with a full beard cursed: ”What The Fuck! What the hell is going on? Walmart is a company from our great USA. Why are they bending over backwards for a woman from Dragon Country? Even the Chairman himself leading the welcoming party is downright outrageous!”

”Fuck you! I don’t get it either! Why should we noble people of the USA bow and scrape to a woman from Dragon Country?”

Another staff member, his face flushed red with anger, gave a nearby trash can a hard kick.

”Just a woman from Dragon Country. Is she worth us making such a huge fuss? Shit!”

Some journalists who frequently covered business beats had eyes full of excitement, their camera shutters clicking incessantly, flashbulbs lighting up half the sky.

A blonde female reporter whispered into her camera lens: ”I’ve never seen such a grand airport welcome from Walmart before. This mysterious woman from Dragon Country’s identity is absolutely extraordinary. It might be related to Walmart’s equity changes. Must dig up the first-hand news.”

As she spoke, she squeezed to the front of the crowd, trying to get closer to Lei Jun, but was stopped by security personnel.

Faced with the grand spectacle before her and the complex gazes from the surroundings, Lei Jun’s expression remained calm as she steadily descended the air stairs with Ah Fu.

This lavish welcome had nothing to do with her personally. It was entirely because she held 69% of Walmart’s shares, making her the absolute controlling shareholder of this global retail giant.

The executives’ deference was, in essence, reverence for capital and power. Anyone holding that many shares would receive the same treatment; it had nothing to do with her being from Dragon Country.

Seeing Lei Jun approach, Greg Penner hurriedly stepped forward to meet her.

”Ms. Lei Jun, welcome to the USA. You must be tired from your journey. We have prepared a dedicated armored vehicle and a top-tier hotel for you. For tomorrow’s Supplier Summit, the venue, guests, and agenda have all been confirmed. There will absolutely be no mistakes.”

Lei Jun gave a slight nod, her tone flat and devoid of extra emotion, and said.

”It’s too late today. I’ll go to the hotel to rest first. Tomorrow morning, you will take me to Walmart headquarters to meet with the executive team and discuss the company’s future development plans.”

”Of course, Ms. Lei Jun, this way please,” Greg Penner promptly replied, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

He immediately stepped to Lei Jun’s left side, slightly bent at the waist, adopting a guiding posture. He gently gestured forward with his right hand and slowed his pace to match Lei Jun’s, careful not to walk too fast and leave her behind.

As Lei Jun walked along, the Walmart executives lining the path instinctively straightened their backs, voluntarily stepping back to both sides to clear a central passageway. They looked at Lei Jun with respectful eyes, none daring to casually raise their heads to meet her gaze.

As he guided the way, Greg Penner quietly reported details to Lei Jun in a humble tone.

”Ms. Lei Jun, we have arranged three of the latest model Mercedes-Benz armored vehicles for you. Each vehicle is equipped with two professional drivers and security personnel, ensuring absolute safety. The hotel selected is the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel New York, offering top-tier privacy and comfort. You can rest assured.”

He glanced back at Lei Jun’s expression from time to time. Seeing she didn’t respond, he didn’t dare say more, focusing solely on guiding the way. When they reached the parking lot entrance, he deliberately stopped, waiting for Lei Jun to go first, then followed behind her like a dutiful attendant.

Just as the two reached the edge of the parking lot, the media reporters gathered outside the security perimeter immediately swarmed forward. Dozens of reporters crowded together, their microphones almost thrusting into Lei Jun’s face, hurling questions one after another.

”Ma’am, are you the new controlling shareholder of Walmart?”

”How much capital did you spend to acquire 69% of Walmart’s shares?”

”Apart from attending the Supplier Summit, do you have other acquisition plans while in the USA?”

”What are your views on the future of the retail market in the USA?”

The sounds of camera shutters and questions mingled together, creating a chaotic scene.

Before Lei Jun could make any response, Lei Ying immediately stepped forward, placing herself between Lei Jun and the reporters.

Her figure was tall and straight, her expression impassive, her eyes icy and sharp, radiating a powerful, oppressive aura. She extended her arms to block the surging reporters.

”Apologies, Ms. Lei Jun needs rest after a long flight and will not be accepting any interviews for now. Please step aside and do not obstruct the passage.”

Lei Ying’s presence was too formidable. Combined with her decisive movements and the chill in her eyes, the reporters instinctively halted their advance.
