Chapter 3534: Set off to Tahiti!

On the way back, Sun Mengmeng was deliberately controlling the speed of the car.

She didn't dare to send Xiao Churan home too quickly, for she was worried that if she went back too early, Ye Chen in Yanjing would not have boarded the plane yet. If one of Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan was stupid enough to send Ye Chen a message asking, all her efforts would probably be ruined.

So, she thought, as long as Xiao Churan stayed with her before the plane took off and had no contact with the outside world, all risks would naturally be eliminated.

Moreover, in order to avoid any accidents this time, they even used their connections to remove and repair the WiFi module of the plane that Ye Chen was riding in advance.

Nowadays, many transoceanic flights provide free or paid Internet services. Generally speaking, first-class cabins have free Internet access. If the WiFi on this plane is not turned off, Ye Chen may receive messages during the entire flight.

After the WiFi function is turned off, all passengers on the plane will temporarily lose contact with the outside world ten minutes after takeoff, and will not be restored until it is about to land.

Half past five in the afternoon.

The plane Ye Chen was on took off on time.

Ten minutes later, the plane climbed to an altitude of 3,500 meters, and the mobile phone had completely lost all signal.

The hairpin on Sun Mengmeng's head vibrated slightly three times. This was the communication method they agreed upon internally. Three vibrations meant that Ye Chen was now in a state of disconnection.

So she quickened her pace and sent Xiao Churan to Tomson Yipin's home.

Xiao Changkun had already arrived home and was watching TV in the living room with Ma Lan.

Seeing Xiao Churan walk in alone, they both looked over immediately. Xiao Changkun said with a smile, "Oh, my daughter is back! Did you have a good time in Yanjing this time?"

Xiao Churan smiled slightly: "Very good."

Ma Lan looked left and right but could not see Ye Chen's shadow behind her. She asked her in surprise, "Girl, isn't Ye Chen back?"

"No." Xiao Churan adjusted his hair unnaturally and said, "Ye Chen went to Australia. Mr. Hong asked him for help, saying that a friend needed him to help look at Feng Shui, so I came back on my own."

When Xiao Changkun heard Mr. Hong, he quickly asked him, "Is it Mr. Hong Wu?"

"Yes." Xiao Churan nodded.

Xiao Changkun said with a smile: "Oh, Master Hong Wu and Ye Chen have a really good relationship. Some customers are always thinking about him. Not bad."

In Xiao Changkun's opinion, whether he can become the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association again in the future depends on whether Master Hong Wu is willing to help him.

I had done something scandalous before and was demoted in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. However, everyone knows the unspoken rules in the circle. If you are demoted when the storm is at its peak, you will soon find an opportunity to be promoted again after the storm passes. It depends on whether the higher-ups are willing to give you this opportunity.

Xiao Changkun knew that he had no foundation, but as long as Master Hong Wu helped, there would definitely be no problem.

Therefore, as long as Ye Chen and Hong Wu maintain a close cooperative relationship, he feels that there is still a chance for his own business.

Xiao Churan could probably tell from her father's expression what he was thinking about, but she also knew very well that her parents were about to leave Jinling and might never come back. The calligraphy and painting association was all just a passing cloud.

Then she said to them, "By the way, Mom and Dad, our company hasn't been very busy lately, and we haven't had much to do since the Lunar New Year. A friend of mine just happened to recommend a cruise trip from the island city all the way to Tahiti. He said the facilities are very good and it's also very fun. Let's go tonight!"

"Tonight?" Xiao Changkun said in surprise, "So hasty?"

Viola Ma asked curiously, "Tahiti? Is it the Tahiti that is rich in pearls?"

Xiao Churan nodded and said to Viola Ma, "Yes, Mom, it's that Tahiti. It is said to be better than the Maldives, but it's not as hyped as the Maldives."

After that, he said to Xiao Changkun, "Dad, the cruise ship will leave the port tomorrow morning. We are far away. If we want to catch up, we have to set off now. Their company has already provided a business car, and it is waiting at the door. You go back to the room and pack your things, and we will set off directly."

Viola Ma asked with concern: "My daughter, it must cost a lot of money to take a cruise to such a far place, right?"

Xiao Churan knew that her mother loved to take advantage of others, so she agreed with her and said, "It's said to be a super luxurious first-class cabin. A ticket costs over 200,000 yuan, and all meals and drinks are free."

Ma Lan immediately became energetic and said excitedly: "Go! We must go!"

Xiao Changkun was a little embarrassed and said, "Oh, this is too hasty. We still have a lot of things in the association to hand over. It's a bit inappropriate to leave just like that!"

Ma Lan blurted out: "What's inappropriate? You don't have anything serious to do there. It's just a bunch of old men and women doing nonsense all day long. Besides, President Pei has such a good relationship with you. If there is anything, just let him help you arrange it. It will definitely not be a problem for him."

Xiao Changkun smacked his lips and asked, "Then let's go on a cruise. It will take at least a month to go back and forth, right? Do you want to say hello to Ye Chen?"

Xiao Churan lied, "This project is managed by Ye Chen's friend. They gave us this opportunity for free because of Ye Chen's face. Ye Chen's trip to Australia will take a long time, and he was afraid that we would be bored at home, so he arranged for us to go on a trip."

"Is that so?" Xiao Changkun nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll say hello to President Pei and ask him to help arrange the work."

Viola Ma stood up happily and said, "I'll go upstairs and pack my luggage quickly so as not to delay boarding the ship tomorrow morning! I've been traveling by plane recently and haven't experienced a luxury cruise yet!"

At this time, Xiao Changkun also took out his mobile phone and called President Pei.

As soon as the call was connected, he said to Chairman Pei, "Old Pei, I have something to tell you. My son-in-law went to Australia with Mr. Hong on business."

Chairman Pei asked curiously on the other end of the phone: "With Master Hong Wu?"

Xiao Changkun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's Master Hong Wu. You know, Master Hong Wu always asks my son-in-law for help, and my son-in-law is too embarrassed to refuse."

President Pei praised: "Who can blame Ye Chen for his real ability! The rich and powerful people in Jinling all respectfully call him Master Ye."

Xiao Changkun was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my son-in-law is indeed capable. By the way, Lao Pei, I don't want to tell you about this. It's mainly about my son-in-law. This trip to Australia may take a long time. He was afraid that Ma Lan, Chu Ran and I would be bored, so he arranged a luxury cruise to Tahiti for us. It may take a month, and we will leave tomorrow. I didn't expect it to be so hasty. There are many things in the association that I can't deal with in time."

When President Pei heard this, he knew what Xiao Changkun was up to. After he had tricked Xiao Changkun last time, the chance for advancement that he had been waiting for for many years was gone. Since then, he realized that he must appease Xiao Changkun in the future, otherwise his future would probably be locked in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he would never have the chance to move up in this life.

Now Xiao Changkun wants to take a leave to travel. Logically speaking, no one can take a month off to go out and play, but since it is Xiao Changkun, I certainly cannot refuse.

So he smiled and said, "Chang Kun, just go and have fun. I'll take care of the association's affairs. Don't worry!"

Xiao Changkun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, President Pei."

President Pei quickly said, "Chang Kun, we're all family. If you have anything to say, just say hello. Why are you being so polite? It's too awkward."

Xiao Changkun really enjoyed the feeling of being valued and said with a smile, "Okay, Lao Pei, given our relationship, I won't be polite to you. I'll bring you a gift when I come back!"

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan had packed their luggage.

Xiao Churan hid in her and Ye Chen's bedroom, covering herself with the quilt and crying.

After crying, she wiped away her tears, left a letter for Ye Chen with a pen and paper, and placed the letter on the bedside table.

Then she simply packed a few clothes and necessities, washed her face with cold water, and walked out of the room.

In the living room, Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan were both searching for travel guides for Tahiti on their phones. Seeing Xiao Churan coming down, Ma Lan said, "My dear daughter, we've been waiting for you. Let's set off quickly to Tahiti!"

Sun Mengmeng was waiting in the yard at this time. When she saw the three people coming out, she hurried forward to help Ma Lan take the luggage first, and said respectfully: "Uncle and aunt, you two get in the car first, I will load the luggage."

After that, he said to Xiao Churan, "Mr. Xiao, you sit in the passenger seat, and let uncle and aunt sit in the second row."

Xiao Churan nodded and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, you sit in the back."

"Okay." The two agreed readily and got in and sat in the back seat of the business car.

The most comfortable seats in a high-end business car are the two first-class seats in the second row. The two knew they were going to travel a long distance, so as soon as they sat in, they easily adjusted the seats according to their needs and preferences.

Xiao Churan knew that his parents would be anesthetized soon, and he was a little worried.

Sun Mengmeng could see her worry, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, everything is safe. Let uncle and aunt have a good rest."

"Okay." Xiao Churan also knew that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. No matter what, she could not stay and hold Ye Chen back.

So she helped Sun Mengmeng load the luggage into the car, and then sat directly in the passenger seat.

Soon, the business car drove out of Tomson Yipin.

Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan in the back row had not noticed anything unusual yet. Their minds were full of thoughts about the upcoming luxury cruise trip to Tahiti.

When the business car drove out of Tomson Yipin, several cars parked nearby immediately followed, keeping a distance of dozens to hundreds of meters from the car. These vehicles and the people inside were all An Chengxi's subordinates. They would escort Xiao Churan and her parents all the way to the island city.

The convoy drove out of the city and onto the highway.

It was already completely dark. Sun Mengmeng said to Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan while driving, "Uncle and aunt, wouldn't it be too boring for you to ride in the car? How about I raise the TV in the middle and show you a promotional video for our cruise to Tahiti!"

"Okay!" Ma Lan agreed immediately and said with a smile, "We just want to do more homework! Let us learn more about it first!"

Sun Mengmeng immediately pressed the switch, and the partition between the rear cabin and the cab slowly rose up, separated by a wide-screen TV.

Afterwards, a tourism promotional video of Tahiti was broadcast on TV. The pictures in the video were so beautiful and fascinating that Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan couldn't take their eyes off it.

At this moment, a burst of colorless and odorless gas was released from the air conditioner vent. The two were so fascinated by it that they felt drowsy. As their eyelids began to droop, they fell into a deep sleep uncontrollably...
