Chapter 289: Trouble Turns Around
$500,000 US Dollars.
According to the current exchange rate between the Huaxia Coin and the US Dollar.
That's more than 3 million.
So expensive.
Feels kind of out of my league.
No, fuck, it's definitely out of my league.
Su Chen somewhat regretted not pocketing Diana's Diamond Necklace.
That represented one-third of her wealth.
40 billion.
"What are you thinking about? I'm saying, the cost for me coming over to pick you up this time, $500,000 US Dollars." Yan seemed to read Su Chen's sleazy thoughts through his gaze, frowning as she spoke.
"Ah..." Su Chen suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
So, the $500,000 US Dollars was the price to pick him up?
He had thought...
Looking at Yan seriously piloting the helicopter.
Su Chen increasingly felt that Yan, was not as simple as just being one of Lang Sha's hands.
Because Yan and Lang Sha obviously had a very close relationship.
But this is not what he should be concerned about.
Whether Yan is close to Lang Sha or not, it has nothing to do with him.
The trip was silent.
The helicopter continued all the way to a private airport.
Clearly, the helicopter was not enough to support Su Chen's flight back to South Africa or Huaxia.
So, he must take a commercial plane.
Finally going home.
Su Chen put his Huaxia SIM card into his phone.
Actually, this SIM card could be used globally.
Just needed to use international roaming.
The reason why he hadn't used it was that he went abroad to save his brother from Reverse Dragon, and didn't want to be disturbed by anything.
Once he put the card in, he received a deluge of messages.
From Wang Yue, from Qin Keren, from Lin Shuang'er, from Zhang Shu and of course, even more from Lin Xi.
Wang Yue's were naturally more concerned about Su Chen's work.
"Xiao Chen, why aren't you coming to work, where did you go, come back quickly, the manager and director are looking for you!"
From Qin Keren.
"Bastard, where the hell did you die? Still want to work?"
From Lin Shuang'er.
"Brother-in-law, why is your phone switched off? I'm so bored, requesting a show off, requesting a flight."
From Zhang Shu.
"A person's night, so lonely, missing you..."
Seeing these messages, a sense of warmth gradually rose in Su Chen's heart.
He didn't expect that after returning to Huaxia for just one or two months, so many people already cared about him.
The feeling of being cared about is really nice...
Finally, Su Chen got to Lin Xi's messages.
"Is something wrong? Do you need my help?"
This was in response to the message Su Chen sent before he left.
He told Lin Xi when he left that he had a very important thing to do and it might take a few days before he could return home.
"The company is participating in an international fashion exhibition in a couple of days, I hope you can accompany me."
This was sent by Lin Xi the day after Su Chen left.
"Mr. Su, I don't know where you went, what are you doing, I, the president, command you to come home immediately."
This was sent on the third day.
"Mr. Su, I'm not waiting for you anymore..." This was the fourth day.
"Could you please turn off the phone, the plane is about to take off." Yan had already prepared the plane for takeoff, seeing Su Chen still on his phone, spoke up.
"Oh." Su Chen turned off his phone.
The plane accelerated on the runway and then soared into the sky.
Once the plane reached the designated altitude, Su Chen turned on his phone again and continued to read Lin Xi's messages.
He remembered there was one last message he didn't get to read.
He opened the last message.
Seeing the content on the message, Su Chen's face twitched.
Then he directly said to Yan: "Um, Yan, could you please make a turn."
Yan looked at Su Chen with confusion.
"Oh, I'm not going back, I need to stay in France for another two days." Su Chen said.
A look of agony on his face.
If only he had read the last message before.
It turns out, Lin Xi's last message was about her departure to the international fashion exhibition.
And the location of the fashion exhibition is in Paris, France!
He's currently in Paris!
Had he seen the message before the plane took off, it wouldn't be necessary to take off.
Now he had to turn back again.
Takeoff and landing are quite time-consuming.
Fortunately, the fashion exhibition was tomorrow, still in time.
And he decided to look for Lin Xi tomorrow.
Then tell Lin Xi, he rushed over to accompany her after seeing her message.
Not because he was already in France.
Yes, that's the plan!
...
Paris, France, Hilton Hotel.
Inside a private room.
The room was occupied by a total of about a dozen people, most of whom were women, with only one or two men.
These people are all core members of the Yimena Group.
Making final preparations for the next day's fashion exhibition.
"President, I believe that your design will shine brightly tomorrow." Tang Qian raised her glass and toasted Lin Xi.
"Hopefully..." Lin Xi sighed softly.
Originally, Lin Xi had planned to use that dress from last time as her entry work for this fashion exhibition.
But after being harshly criticized by Su Chen as worthless, she gave up on it and designed a new product again.
This product is even more perfect and is her most satisfying work to date.
Naturally, she thinks it's even better than the last dress.
The entire core team of Yimena, including the head designer, thinks it's impeccable and will definitely achieve great results at the fashion exhibition.
At least they can get a nomination award.
Although everyone thinks that her design completely surpassed the last one, she always feels like there's a minor flaw in her design.
But this is already her limit.
If only that guy was here.
Maybe he could give her some tips.
Although Lin Xi doesn't think Su Chen has any talent in design.
But the guy is quite peculiar.
A dress that she thought was perfect, turned into garbage in his hands.
Even though she later realized that Su Chen was just talking nonsense, she somehow felt it made sense.
Even doubting her own design level.
Perhaps a casual remark from him could bring her inspiration.
Make her more confident.
Even though she's also confident now, she always feels like something's missing.
But that guy is off who-knows-where.
Never mind, it was just that guy's luck last time.
He might not really be able to give any advice at all.
If the entry work for this time can win a nomination award or something, the trip won't be in vain.
Just as the Yimena employees were encouraging one another, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
