Chapter 119: Hong Kong Island is the Island of the Wealthy



On the airplane, Gu Heng gazed down at the magnificent scenery of Hong Kong Island.

Just a brief glance was enough to clearly see the entire Hong Kong Island, which resembled a majestic palace standing atop the vast, azure sea. The quaint peninsula not only had a beautiful skyline but also boasted multitudes of luxurious skyscrapers, each exuding an immensely awe-inspiring aura.

This was a vista that could only be appreciated from the sky...

But it was still daytime...

At night, Hong Kong Island, bathed in countless lights, would probably be even more breathtaking...

As Gu Heng was fully engrossed in the view outside the window, the flight attendant, who had not disturbed Gu Heng for over an hour, again tiptoed to his side...

"Mr. Gu, the plane is expected to arrive at Hong Kong International Airport in about 15 minutes. The current outdoor temperature on Hong Kong Island is 19 degrees. I suggest you be mindful of the temperature change to avoid any discomfort."

"Additionally, we have chewing gum available here. Would you like some?"

"Chewing gum?"

"Yes, since our aircraft has reached an altitude of approximately 9000 meters, when the plane lands, the cabin's air pressure will gradually increase, which may cause discomfort in your ears. Chewing gum can promote movement in the temporomandibular joints, thereby speeding up the circulation between your mouth and ears and helping to alleviate any discomfort."

Right, right, right...

Another new piece of knowledge about flying...

Gu Heng didn't rebel and nodded in agreement.

The flight attendant quickly handed over two pieces of prepared mint-flavored gum: "These are basic mint-flavored. If you don't like this flavor, I can get you another one."

Gu Heng shook his head, "This is fine."

Saying this, he stuffed both pieces of gum into his mouth...

The flight attendant carefully pocketed the discarded wrappers and, after a slight bow, moved towards another seat behind Gu Heng...

Initially, as it was his first time flying, Gu Heng knew nothing about flying other than the need to turn off his phone or switch it to airplane mode...

He was somewhat worried about making a fool of himself...

But once he really settled into business class, he realized he was overthinking...

From the moment he stepped into the airport's VIP lounge, he didn't need to do anything. Everything was guided by the airport staff...

Once on the plane, the flight attendants were meticulous, sharing every detail...

Indeed...

As long as you have money...

You don't need to feel embarrassed about anything, because there will always be someone to prevent that embarrassment.

...

...

Fifteen minutes later...

There wasn't much turbulence as imagined...

The plane landed smoothly...

As Gu Heng was preparing to stand up, the previous flight attendant came again...

"Let me help you."

Saying that, she reached over, attentively unbuckled Gu Heng's seatbelt, and said with a beam, "We communicated with the ground ten minutes ago, and the airport has already prepared the shuttle bus."
Experience new tales on empire

As our parking spot is quite close to the jet bridge, only the front door will be opened, and both economy and business class will share one exit channel. So, it might be quite crowded when disembarking."

However, business class enjoys the privilege of disembarking first, and my colleague is already calming the economy class passengers near the cabin door."

Next, my colleague and I will lead you off the plane."

After the flight attendant finished speaking, the other business class passengers had already stood up...

Xu Ying also stretched a bit and then approached Gu Heng's seat...

"Mr. Gu, Miss Xu, right this way."

Saying this, she led the few business class passengers toward the front door...

Once at the cabin door...

Gu Heng saw the so-called calming the flight attendant mentioned...

It was two economy class flight attendants blocking the narrow path, effectively cutting off the way for economy class passengers to disembark...

But clearly...

These economy class passengers were already accustomed to this...

No one complained about it being unfair; instead, a few people who seemed in a hurry, holding their carry-on luggage, peered longingly through the gap made by the two flight attendants, hoping that those from business class would disembark faster...

This blatant disparity in treatment...

Still struck a chord with Gu Heng...

Why do people desperately want to earn money, if not to enjoy such privileged treatment...

As Gu Heng was reflecting on this, the flight attendant's voice rang out: "Thank you for choosing our flight; we hope our modest service gives your journey a smooth start."

After saying those words, the flight attendant looked towards Gu Heng and flashed an elegant smile...

He had always heard that first-class flight attendants would slip passengers little notes...

But Gu Heng was almost on the shuttle bus and had received none...

"Hey, Xu Ying, do you think I'm not handsome enough?"

Caught off guard by Gu Heng's sudden question, Xu Ying paused to take a good look at Gu Heng's face: "Boss, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Taken aback by her question, Gu Heng rolled his eyes, "Of course, the truth!"

"The truth is, you're handsome."

"Huh? Then how is that different from a lie?"

Gu Heng was just teasing Xu Ying, as he was well aware of how he looked.

"What I said is the truth. You are handsome! It's just not very obvious, and the average person might not get it. I'm different; I get it."

Gu Heng: "..."

This person understands the art of language...

"No wonder then."

Xu Ying: "No wonder what?"

"No wonder the flight attendant earlier didn't slip me a note. She just didn't get my charm."
