Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Since Ling Qingyu was flying on a private jet, it received priority benefits, allowing it to take off ahead of the queue.

Normally, an ordinary private jet wouldn't deserve such privileges, but Ling Qingyu's connections were extraordinary.

The Minister of Justice, the Governor of Province N, military generals, and several officials in Province N had all received her donations, which helped them achieve merits—building roads, bridges, and social infrastructure.

Given these hidden ties, Ling Qingyu's flight was granted a rare right. Not to mention, among the elite circle, Ling Qingyu was considered the richest after Xia and Shen.

Of course, such designations weren't entirely accurate, but they reflected the realities of public opinion in Province N, based on unspoken accords among the wealthy families in the province.

During the taxi phase, Ling Qingyu listened to Athena's detailed explanation of Lin Fan's flight.

His plane was scheduled to take off three hours later, giving her a sense of security that her schedule wouldn't be disrupted by Lin Fan's unpredictable aura.

The destination was a country on the Elephant Continent. When she realized her journey followed a similar route, she panicked.

Both flights were heading toward the same country—hers would land on a private island she owned, while Lin Fan's would land in the capital.

Miss System had gifted Ling Qingyu an entire island chain surrounding the famous elite medical city.

When Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei first learned about the island, they were astounded. Ling Qingyu had told them beforehand that they would be visiting the renowned medical city, but they had never expected her to own the surrounding islands.

This wasn't just an ordinary hospital or a collection of medical facilities. The entire city was designed to serve the elite of the elite.

Its privacy, services, and treatment capabilities were beyond measure. Even with Ling Qingyu's immense wealth, she shouldn't have been able to buy the entire infrastructure.

However, reality painted a completely different picture, making Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei wonder if they were dreaming.

They began to realize that Sister Ling needed another thorough evaluation—what they had previously assumed had far exceeded their expectations.

Although the duo was very close to Ling Qingyu, everyone naturally measured each other's capabilities.

In any case, Mo Yunxi felt both dissatisfied and regretful. Life was always full of unexpected turns.

She complained that if Ling Qingyu had told her about this earlier, she wouldn't have chosen to study at Country A's university at all.

Ling Qingyu's medical facilities boasted state-of-the-art technology and elite research standards—exactly the kind of environment Mo Yunxi had been looking for to further her studies.

The reason she had chosen Country A's top medical university was to gain hands-on experience in a high-level research lab.

As for the academic circle, Ling Qingyu's medical city was filled with renowned experts and researchers.

Comparing the two, working and studying in Ling Qingyu's medical city clearly offered more advantages.

But since Mo Yunxi had already made her decision and established connections with the relevant faculty, it wouldn't be right to cancel her plans at the last minute without showing up.

Why not spend half a year or a full year there before making a final decision? That way, she could avoid offending her friends and mentors.

Ling Qingyu had only revealed her flight plans a few days before departure.

Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei had no issues hitching a ride, even if they couldn't get to Country A directly.

They were happy to have Ling Qingyu accompany them. Besides, the extra trip offered new opportunities for their careers and perspectives.

The plan was to fly to the medical city first, then head to the capital for discussions on city affairs, and finally continue to Country A.

Ling Qingyu still needed to meet with the country's leader to avoid future complications, even though the contract was ironclad.

She had to establish her stance and presence to deter any ambitious schemes.

After all, she had no idea what Miss System had done to persuade the government to relinquish ownership and give up the opportunity to collect massive tax revenues.

On the other hand, Lin Fan's landing in the capital seemed far from Ling Qingyu's first stop, but it aligned with her overall plan.

Wherever the protagonist went, trouble followed. Once bitten, twice shy—Ling Qingyu was wary of any potential complications. She'd had enough ever since the last bank robbery.

Hopefully, today's trip wouldn't bring any further problems.

Athena had answered her doubts regarding Lin Fan's objective—he was meeting up with his mercenary comrades.

As for whether he was planning to help his woman's situation in Province N or had an entirely different agenda, that remained a mystery.

For now, Ling Qingyu saw no immediate threat. Nothing seemed to confirm her uneasy premonition.

Soon, the plane picked up speed, lifted off the ground, and climbed rapidly.

Amazingly, the sound insulation was so effective that the roaring jet engines were reduced to a mere whisper.

Everyone remained seated until the plane leveled off and stabilized.

Once the seatbelt sign was turned off and the flight attendants began moving around, Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei were eager to explore the aircraft.

"Sister Ling, we'll walk around. Is that okay?" Yin Jingfei asked.

"Of course, my dear. Go ahead, be my guest," Ling Qingyu nodded. "You can ask the flight attendants if you need anything."

"That's great. I also want to see the difference between public and private jets," Mo Yunxi added.

"I won't be able to join for now. I want to check my email," Ling Qingyu replied.

"Ah, what a pity. Always busy, huh? That's the life of a businesswoman." Mo Yunxi sighed and patted Yin Jingfei's back. "Let's go. We two sisters will have fun."

"Enjoy your time," Ling Qingyu waved her hand and adjusted her seat, then reached out to take a laptop from her nearby bag.

The two left Ling Qingyu's sight, stepping into another chamber to explore. A stewardess sat nearby, seemingly responsible for this compartment.

"Tsk, pretentious," Xiao Yue clicked her tongue in contempt as soon as the stewardess disappeared for a moment. "What's with acting like a newbie on your own plane?"

"Image, sister. Image. Where would my momentum and precious aura go otherwise?" Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes as she opened the laptop's lid.

"It's your first time, so why act so much? Just be yourself," Xiao Yue shook her head, helpless against Ling Qingyu's behavior.

"Sister, if I didn't know better, I might suspect you were deliberately trying to mess with me," Ling Qingyu rubbed her forehead at Xiao Yue's choice of words.

This antique had learned to elicit schnatinken. Tang Ziyi must have led her astray.

"Quit it. Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth," Xiao Yue stretched, cracked some joints, and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally, to play mahjong with the others." Xiao Yue snickered and left.

Ling Qingyu blinked, unable to believe Xiao Yue's carefree attitude since boarding the plane.

Cursing Xiao Yue's ancestors in her heart, Ling Qingyu focused on the screen. After all, it would take slightly more than 18 hours before the plane touched the ground.

Fortunately, her private jet was a flying five-star hotel, ensuring passengers wouldn't succumb to boredom.

She guessed that her guards were probably playing video games, watching movies, or shooting pool. Alas, she, too, would have to join in soon to avoid embarrassing herself.

Like her own massive manor, exploring was an essential trait for an owner, though she had stewardesses and Athena to guide her.

Pop!

A notification rang from her laptop. Since her private jet supported a strong internet connection mid-flight, Ling Qingyu felt peculiar, as if she weren't disconnected from the world at all.

With satellite coverage, strong connectivity, and secure privacy, no one could spy on her. And this service was available worldwide—exclusively hers.

After all, she had done nothing except accept Miss System's grace and Athena's experiments.

Ling Qingyu frowned as her eyes landed on the email's subject line.

Reunion Invitation.

What kind of crappy topic is this?

Reunion? Or some weird advertisement? Amused, Ling Qingyu paused her quick hand, which was about to press the delete button, and opened the email instead to satisfy her curiosity.

"Well," Ling Qingyu sighed in relief that she hadn't acted on impulse. "Which idiot likes to send weird emails?"

As the subject suggested, the email was about a class reunion, inviting alumni from Ling Qingyu's graduating class—her time at Country A's elite university.

She recalled a few friends and mentors. During university, most of her classmates had sidelined her, and only a couple had formed real connections with her.

Because she had been too cold and focused on her goals, she had missed out on university life. But her hard work hadn't been in vain.

This wasn't the first invitation. Ling Qingyu had received one every year but had been residing in Country C.

Now that she was heading to Country A with Doctor Mo and Nurse Yin, why not accept the invitation and experience it? She had nothing better to do, anyway.

Besides, Ling Qingyu wanted to reconnect with her 'besties' and see if she could help with anything.

Only, her memory made her lips twitch.

She probably realized why the former Ling Qingyu had never been keen on reconnecting with her alumni.

There was a freaking licker who had once made her ashamed. No, having a secret admirer was nothing, but if that secret admirer blatantly declared his ambition and chased her around, the mere thought almost made Ling Qingyu vomit.

Contemplating further, Ling Qingyu finally understood why her past self had refused to attend alumni gatherings and sighed heavily.

Deep friendship and love.

Alas.
