After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety
Chapter 622 - 612: Boarding, Seat Conflict
CHAPTER 622: CHAPTER 612: BOARDING, SEAT CONFLICT
"Please everyone, prepare yourselves. In ten minutes, I will lead you to the boarding gate for boarding."
"This is an exclusive international flight, taking off from Imperial City Airport and flying directly to Fashion Town International Airport. The flight duration is eleven hours. There is a significant time difference between the local time there and Imperial City. When we arrive, it will be near midnight in Imperial City, but it will be morning in the International Fashion Town, so please be prepared."
"Lastly, welcome aboard this flight. The entire crew is dedicated to providing you with the most attentive service!"
In the spacious lounge, upon hearing the announcement, everyone stood up and began to gather their belongings.
Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao, with their stomachs a bit full, ran back cheerfully, swiftly packed their personal items, and checked them over. "Sister Xixi, when I went to eat, I heard that the plane we’re taking is a double-decker. I’ve never been abroad and have never seen a double-decker plane."
Jiang Lingxi had just had Xiaoxiao remove her makeup.
Anyway, the candid photos were already taken, and she didn’t want to wear full makeup during the entire flight of more than ten hours. While wearing a mask, she replied, "Me neither."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a light chuckle from the aisle next to them.
A large group of people passed by.
Lu Zhengzheng watched Gu Qiantong, who was surrounded in the middle, frown slightly, but only dared to mutter softly, "What does she mean by that?"
Is it so embarrassing not to have flown on a double-decker plane or been abroad?
She’s just flaunting her family’s wealth!
Tong Yue patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry about what others mean, just do your job well."
Although she also didn’t know why this Miss Gu made such a sarcastic chuckle when she walked over, what this person of such status wanted to do wasn’t something they could comment on.
Lu Zhengzheng knew that what Sister Tong said was true, pouted, "Oh!"
Jiang Lingxi looked at Shen Yunqing, who was holding her handbag, "She’s upset. Guess how she found out your identity?"
In the lounge, Shen Yunqing hadn’t taken off his mask; he was quietly sitting there, aside from making a cup of tea initially. He was a bit curious to be recognized even like that.
"She probably got the list from the crew. Given her family background, she would have some privileges."
"I thought so. Let’s go."
To this behavior, she could only respond with eight words: Abusing privilege, nonsensical behavior!
Even if she knew who was sitting next to her was Shen Yunqing, so what? She still had to stew by herself.
All she could do was laugh at her for never having been abroad!
The ten minutes quickly passed.
From the lounge to the boarding gate, there were crew members personally leading the way, and they were among the first group to board the plane.
"Lingxi, Mr. Shen, these are your boarding passes." Tong Yue said, handing over two light blue boarding passes that looked like works of art, "I’ll be in the back in business class with Zhengzheng and the others, see you after we land."
This time, guests with invitations got seats in first class, with each also given a companion ticket.
If the persons brought still exceeded the limit, then any additional seats would have to be self-funded in other classes.
Now with Shen Yunqing here, Tong Yue naturally gave the additional first class spot to him.
Ask if it’s being sensible!
Jiang Lingxi took the two boarding passes, "See you when we get there, rest well on the plane."
"You both rest too, especially you. Once off the plane, there are likely media from both home and abroad waiting outside. Keep yourself in your best state!"
"Don’t worry."
After Tong Yue finished instructing, she took Lu Zhengzheng and the others to queue at the boarding point for business class to prepare for boarding.
Jiang Lingxi looked at the seat numbers on the boarding passes; although they were in the same cabin, they weren’t adjacent.
Gu Qiantong received her boarding pass from her assistant and directly handed it to a crew member.
"Hello, Miss Gu, you are in seat number five in first class, please follow me."
"Why isn’t it seat number three? I prefer that seat."
By rights, the airline, aware of her as a VIP customer, shouldn’t make such a basic mistake.
"I’m very sorry, Miss Gu," the flight attendant responsible for her kept the smile on her face, "since this is a special flight, seating was uniformly arranged by the event organizers. The welcome bouquet and welcome card have already been placed, so we have no authority to change it."
"Also, seat number five is right behind seat number three. You may ask the passenger in seat number three if they’re willing to exchange. We also do not have the authority... We hope you understand."
Those standing behind Gu Qiantong silently checked their boarding passes upon hearing the exchange upfront.
High standards!
Jiang Lingxi glanced briefly at hers and raised an eyebrow.
"Alright then." Although a bit displeased, Gu Qiantong couldn’t cause a scene over a seat, fearing it would reflect poorly on her upbringing. She could only nod with a sour face and board the plane.
After a few more people boarded, Jiang Lingxi handed over her boarding pass.
"Miss Jiang, please follow me."
"Okay." Taking the handbag passed by Shen Yunqing, Jiang Lingxi boarded the plane.
The first class is on the second floor.
Gu Qiantong had just lifted the bouquet placed in her seat, a bunch of her favorite green roses. Her expression had slightly softened, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Lingxi walking towards her behind the flight attendant, a stem snapped in her green rose bouquet.
She had been planning to change seats when someone arrived, confident nobody would refuse her.
But why did it have to be Jiang Lingxi!
"Want to change seats?" Jiang Lingxi thanked the flight attendant and turned to meet Gu Qiantong’s murderous gaze, leisurely picked up the bouquet placed on seat number three, and picked up the fine card on it to read, "Too bad, I like this seat too."
Gu Qiantong was so furious that she didn’t even want to look at the specially written welcome card meant for her.
"Now I have arrived in the first class, showing my family the first class environment. This first class is the most spacious I’ve ever sat in; look, here are the welcome bouquet and card, and each seat’s flowers are different. The cards are even handwritten; the event organizers really put a lot of thought into it. But next, I need to put my phone in airplane mode, so I won’t be able to continue live-streaming with my family. See you guys after the flight; by then, it will probably be midnight in Imperial City. I hope you’ll still be waiting for me..."
Gu Qiantong, already upset, heard the incessant chatter from behind and couldn’t hold back a surge of anger, "What’s all this noise? Don’t you know first class needs to be quiet?"
Zeng Nan, just about to introduce the first class seat features, was startled by the sound and ended the live stream immediately.
Jiang Lingxi ignored the noise behind her, put away the handwritten welcome card from Old Casuo into her handbag, and began exploring the functions of the buttons around her seat.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Yunqing coming up and paused her exploration to wave him over, "Come."
When he arrived, she handed him the bouquet that was placed to the side, "Hold this."
She wasn’t particularly fond of flowers and found their scent dizzying when smelled for too long. Now she finally had someone to take it away.
Thus, after becoming Assistant Shen, Shen Yunqing also became the first male assistant in first class to receive a bouquet.
Jiang Kaiyuan, looking at the person sitting across the aisle from him, frowned, took a closer look, and couldn’t help but softly exclaim.
He thought that sitting in first class with Sister Xi would either be her agent or that assistant named Lu Zhengzheng, as there were things more convenient to discuss among the same gender.
But why was a male assistant following her?
