On the Plane

Nine o'clock.

The plane took off, plunging headfirst into the clouds.

Once the cabin had stabilized, three flight attendants came over to offer refreshments. One of them, wearing a professional smile, walked over to Dong Xuebin's group.

The writing on the bottle was French, and it appeared to have some age to it. It was definitely not the complimentary wine served in first class.

The flight attendant smiled faintly. "Our superior prepared this for you. Please enjoy."

Xie Huilan smiled. "Then please thank him for me."

The cork popped with a soft sound,
