Su Chang looked at Mingzhen and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't blame her. He still quite liked Mingzhen's straightforward personality.
Xing Lu quickly pulled Mingzhen aside, a hint of worry in her eyes. She whispered, "Zhenzhen, that's enough. Look at the expressions on the faces of the opposing team and Chen Shanshan. They don't seem quite right."
Mingzhen nodded and said indifferently, "Tch! After all, they were the ones who insisted on having this ceremony. What do you call that? They brought it on themselves."
Xing Lu tugged at Mingzhen again, and Mingzhen could only purse her lips and stop talking.
Su Chang ignored their expressions, thinking to himself, "I'm paying these people to be treated like royalty."
He looked at Zhang Jun expressionlessly and asked calmly, "Zhang Jun, when can we take off?"
Zhang Jun immediately replied, "Boss, we've already contacted the control tower. There aren't many flights at this time, so you can take off anytime once you're on board."
His voice was full of confidence, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Su Chang nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Alright, let's get on the plane first."
Zhang Jun immediately nodded, and everyone followed Su Chang's footsteps, boarding the plane under the guidance of Zhang Jun and others.
Seeing that Chen Shanshan seemed unhappy, Yan Xiaoqiu deliberately slowed down and fell to the back.
She stopped beside Chen Shanshan, took her hand, and said with concern, "Shanshan, just do whatever President Su says. I believe you understand what President Su told you before. You should stand with your team, understand?"
Chapter 320 Being Surrounded
Su Chang ignored their expressions, thinking to himself, "I'm paying these people to be treated like royalty."
He looked at Zhang Jun expressionlessly and asked calmly, "Zhang Jun, when can we take off?"
Zhang Jun immediately replied, "Boss, we've already contacted the control tower. There aren't many flights at this time, so you can take off anytime once you're on board."
His voice was full of confidence, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Su Chang nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Alright, let's get on the plane first."
Zhang Jun immediately nodded, and everyone followed Su Chang's footsteps, boarding the plane under the guidance of Zhang Jun and others.
Seeing that Chen Shanshan seemed unhappy, Yan Xiaoqiu deliberately slowed down and fell to the back.
She stopped beside Chen Shanshan, took Chen Shanshan's hand, and said with concern, "Shanshan, just do whatever President Su says. I believe you are well aware of what President Su told you before. You should stand with your team, understand?"
Hearing Yan Xiaoqiu's words, Chen Shanshan felt a surge of annoyance. She muttered to herself, "Why is she lecturing me again? So what if she's a little older? What right does she have to lecture me?"
She impatiently pulled her arm away from Yan Xiaoqiu's and said irritably, "Alright, I know, you can go in now."
Seeing Chen Shanshan's impatient look, Yan Xiaoqiu couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
She shook her head, thinking, "I hope Shanshan won't cause any more trouble, otherwise, given Su Chang's temper, she might really get her fired. There'll be nothing I can do then." She sighed and silently walked onto the plane.
After the plane landed in Lijiang, the convoy of cars arranged by Su Chu was already waiting there.
When Su Chang got off the plane, he passed by Mingzhen and Xing Lu with a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes and suggested with a smile, "You two, come with us. You're both free anyway, so you might as well go and have some fun in Lijiang together."
Xing Lu hesitated for a moment, her gaze shifting between Mingzhen and Su Chang, as if she were thinking about something.
Mingzhen, her face beaming with excitement and her eyes sparkling, said without hesitation, "Thank you, boss!"
Seeing Mingzhen's excitement, Xing Lu felt a little worried, but she was also reluctant to let Mingzhen go alone, so she could only nod and agree, "Thank you, boss!"
Su Chang nodded, then walked towards the airplane steps, her steps appearing somewhat hurried.
Just then, Yan Xiaoqiu quickly called out, "President Su, wait a moment."
Su Chang knew exactly why Yan Xiaoqiu had called him over, but he really disliked Chen Shanshan, so he turned around and looked at Yan Xiaoqiu with a puzzled expression, asking, "Yan Xiaoqiu, what's wrong?"
Yan Xiaoqiu walked quickly to Su Chang, her eyes filled with anticipation, and said in a slightly nervous voice, "Um... Mr. Su, can my sister come along too?"
Chen Shanshan, who had been feeling down, immediately lit up with surprise and anticipation upon hearing Yan Xiaoqiu's words. Her gaze was fixed on Su Chang, as if awaiting his reply.
Su Chang hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he slowly said, "Alright, but I don't want any trouble on the way, understand?"
Yan Xiaoqiu quickly assured her, "Don't worry, President Su, I understand." As she spoke, she gave Chen Shanshan a wink, signaling her to quickly thank Su Chang.
Chen Shanshan quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, boss!" A fawning smile appeared on her face, and she was secretly delighted, feeling that she was one step closer to Su Chang.
Su Chang simply gave a faint "hmm" and continued walking down the plane. His steps were firm and powerful, as if telling everyone that he was a decisive person.
The others could all see that Su Chang didn't like Chen Shanshan, so they all followed closely behind as they walked off the plane, afraid of upsetting Su Chang.
Once everyone had almost left, Yan Xiaoqiu took Chen Shanshan's hand and said softly, "Shanshan, let's hurry up and go, so as not to keep President Su waiting."
Although Chen Shanshan hated Yan Xiaoqiu to the core—because of her, she had just been so embarrassed—in order to get closer to Su Chang, she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction and obediently agree, "Okay, sister."
After Yan Xiaoqiu led Chen Shanshan off the plane and into the car, the group headed towards Lijiang Old Town.
Once they reached the outside of the ancient city, the car stopped, and they had to walk the rest of the way on their own.
After Su Chang and the others got out of the car, they immediately attracted a lot of attention and people took pictures. Their combination of handsome men and beautiful women, along with the luxury car convoy, was really eye-catching. Everyone thought they were a celebrity group from somewhere.
The bodyguards immediately spread out around the crowd, preventing anyone from getting close. At this time, the security team of the ancient city also noticed the special situation and immediately joined the order maintenance team.
Su Chang and the others didn't dare to linger. Su Chang gestured to Yan Xiaoqiu to quickly lead them to her guesthouse, as he was now somewhat regretting coming here to stay.
What should have been a ten-minute walk took them half an hour to reach Yan Xiaoqiu's guesthouse. Fortunately, no one was home. As soon as Su Chang and the others entered, the bodyguards immediately guarded the entrance and closed the door. Only then could Su Chang and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Chang looked at the group of women and found that everyone else was fine, except for Song Nuan and Guan Juer, who seemed to be feeling unwell.
Su Chang immediately went to the two women's side, put his arm around their shoulders, and asked gently, "Are you alright?"
Guan Juer obediently shook her head and said, "It's okay, Brother Su Chang."
With Su Chang's care, Guan Juer recovered. A smile appeared on her face, and she felt incredibly warm inside.
Song Nuan frowned and said, "It's alright now, but if we go out later, will it still be like this?"
Her brow furrowed, her heart filled with worry and unease. She really didn't want to experience being watched like that again; the feeling made her extremely uncomfortable...
The women unconsciously frowned, their eyes revealing their worry about the upcoming trip.
Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Su Chu immediately went to Su Chang's side, a guilty look on his face, and apologized, "I'm sorry! President Su, it was my oversight that led to this..." His voice was filled with self-reproach and regret.
Su Chang waved his hand to interrupt him, and then said, "Alright, this isn't your fault. Arrange a more private hotel instead. After that, we'll split into several groups and travel together, just like the previous days." His expression was serious, but his eyes revealed his concern and care for everyone.
Su Chu nodded repeatedly and quickly took out her phone to call the hotel.
Hearing Su Chang's words, the women's unease gradually subsided like a receding tide. They knew that Su Chang would consider everyone's needs and make proper arrangements. As a result, smiles bloomed on their faces, and they began to look forward to the journey ahead.
Five minutes later, after Su Chu had confirmed the hotel, he approached Su Chang and cautiously asked in a low voice, "Mr. Su, the hotel has been arranged. Shall we head over now?"
Su Chang frowned slightly, glancing at Cui Tianqi who was near the door, and softly instructed, "Tianqi, go outside and see if the onlookers have all left?"
"Okay, boss." Cui Tianqi quickly nodded in response, then quietly opened the door and peeked out.
When she saw that there were still many people gathered outside, her heart tightened. She quickly closed the door, hurried back to Su Chang, and said in a low voice, "Boss, there are still quite a few people waiting outside."
Su Chang's brows furrowed even more, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaoqiu quickly suggested, "Why don't you rest here for a while? They shouldn't stay too long; they'll probably leave on their own when they can't wait for you. My place is well-equipped, so you won't get bored."
Su Chang pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and replied, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's alright, everyone, follow me." Yan Xiaoqiu readily agreed and led the group on a stroll on the first and second floors.
It must be said that Yan Xiaoqiu's guesthouse is truly amazing. Not only is the scenery picturesque and enchanting, but it also boasts a wide array of entertainment facilities and a diverse selection of musical instruments.
Here, people can sing to their hearts' content, listen to beautiful music, admire charming scenery, drink fine wine, savor fragrant tea, and enjoy board games.
The crowd immediately scattered, each choosing their favorite activity and enjoying themselves to the fullest, completely forgetting about the onlookers outside.
Su Chang found a quiet corner to sit down alone. He watched quietly as everyone immersed themselves in the joyful atmosphere, a satisfied smile on his face. He silently hoped that this little incident wouldn't spoil everyone's mood, and he also looked forward to the rest of the trip proceeding smoothly.
