Su Yang thought to himself, "Finally, I'm seeing his rich second-generation side."

The restaurant they had come to was a very famous local specialty restaurant in Hai City.

Generally, local cuisine is difficult to scale up significantly, but this place had managed it, boasting nine branches in Hai City alone.

Each branch covered over a thousand square meters, and every single one was always packed with customers.

Most of the time, customers needed to make reservations in advance, and private rooms were even harder to book.

However, Meng Wenzhou's identity was well-known within Hai City's affluent circles.

So, if he wanted to, a single phone call would have most upscale restaurant owners eagerly clearing out the largest private room for him.

Su Yang, however, was unaware of this. To him, it was just a Chinese restaurant with a decent ambiance.

They entered the private room and were seated, with the owner personally coming to take their order.

He placed six menus, one after another, in front of the six people.

Then, he walked over to Meng Wenzhou and asked with a smile, "Young Master Meng, what would you like to eat today?"

Meng Wenzhou leaned back in his chair and said, "Just a casual meal today. Let them decide."

"Of course, of course."

Su Yang looked at the menu, where dishes ranged from five to six hundred yuan, with some as expensive as two to three thousand.

He thought, "This is just ordinary home-style cooking, and they dare to charge so much! The world of the rich is truly different. I guess I still have a lot to learn."

Within a few minutes, the five of them had ordered, and the owner left the private room with the menus.

Soon, a waiter pushed a cart and began serving over ten exquisite Chinese dishes onto the table.

"All the dishes are here. Let's eat quickly; we're a bit pressed for time," Meng Wenzhou said, glancing at his watch.

"Alright, then I won't hold back."

Su Yang picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of a piece of braised pork that looked crystal clear and glistening.

After a few chews, he commented, "Hmm? This tastes pretty good."

Meng Wenzhou, seated to Su Yang's left, chuckled, "It's alright, Brother Su? Does it suit your taste?"

"It's very good. No wonder it's so expensive."

"This place is considered the best for local cuisine in Hai City. If you like it, just mention my name next time you come, and you won't have to wait."

Su Yang smiled faintly, "Then I thank you, Brother Meng."

Twenty minutes later, the six of them, full and satisfied, walked out of the restaurant.

The owner personally saw them off, standing at the entrance and watching them drive away before going back inside.

At this point, other customers in the restaurant began to whisper amongst themselves.

"What's the deal with those people? The owner was so polite when they arrived, and now he's personally seeing them out."

"You're just not in the know. Do you know who one of the men in that group of six was?"

"That's why I'm asking you."

"You know Meng Jianyun, right?"

"Meng Jianyun? Hai City's richest man?"

"Mhm..."

"You mean one of the people in that group was the son of Hai City's richest man?"

"That's right."

"Wow, no wonder. That explains it. I was wondering why the owner, who usually acts so arrogant and looks down on everyone, was so unusually attentive today. Turns out it was the son of our city's richest man!"

"Yeah, with that kind of rich second-generation status, which owner wouldn't treat them with utmost respect?"

"True. It's a shame we don't have a dad like that."

"We won't have this kind of luck in this lifetime. Let's try to be born into a good family in the next one."

At precisely five o'clock, Su Yang and the other five arrived at Hai City International Airport.

After parking the car, Su Yang slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked to the side to smoke while waiting for the others.

Liu Bo looked at Su Yang and saw that he was only carrying a backpack, nothing else.

He widened his eyes and asked, "Brother Su, where are your luggage?"

"It's on my back."

"You're only bringing such a small backpack?"

"Yeah. Do I need to bring a lot of things? We're not staying in Lu City permanently. A few changes of clothes will be enough. The hotel has everything else, right?"

Liu Bo took two large suitcases out of the trunk of the Maybach GLS600.

Hearing Su Yang say this, he looked at the two large boxes of luggage on the ground and fell into thought.

"What are you spacing out for?" Meng Wenzhou walked over and patted Liu Bo on the back.

"Did we pack too much luggage?"

"How much is this?"

"Look at Brother Su."

Meng Wenzhou turned to look at Su Yang beside him and asked with surprise, "Old Su, you're only bringing one bag?"

"What else? If I need anything, I'll buy it there. Why are you guys bringing so much luggage? Aren't you coming back?"

"Uh, that actually makes some sense." Meng Wenzhou chuckled awkwardly.

At this moment, Pan Ning walked up to Su Yang. She looked at Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo and said impatiently, "Can you two hurry up? You're making such a fuss."

"Alright, alright."

Soon, the group arrived at the lobby. After collecting their tickets, they entered the airport lounge one by one.

Meng Wenzhou had booked six first-class tickets, which was equivalent to booking out the entire first-class cabin, as most planes only had six first-class seats.

When the time came, they could use the VIP channel to enter directly.

Su Yang glanced at the ticket in his hand. This was actually his first time flying in his life.

Whenever he traveled long distances before, it was either by bus or high-speed train.

When he was getting his ticket just now, he was completely clueless. He only started learning by watching the people in front of him.

I'm feeling a little nervous? It's my first time flying. I wonder if there will be a feeling of weightlessness during takeoff and landing. I wonder if my ears will ring?

Su Yang muttered to himself.

Soon, a notification sound echoed through the airport. The flight from Hai City to Lu City was boarding.

Su Yang stood up. He watched a group of people lining up and instinctively prepared to join the queue.

Seeing Su Yang walk towards the crowd, Pan Ning grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Uh, don't we need to queue?"

"We have first-class tickets. We don't need to queue. We're using the VIP channel."

"Oh, oh, really? I've never flown before. I didn't expect first-class to have such special treatment?" Su Yang scratched his head and laughed.

He didn't feel embarrassed. He was very open about these things. If he hadn't done something before, he hadn't done it. It wasn't something to be ashamed of.

Pan Ning frowned and looked at Su Yang, "You've never flown before?"

"Yeah, it's my first time, hehe."

"Are you kidding me?" Pan Ning thought Su Yang was joking. She turned and walked towards the VIP channel.

Su Yang couldn't be bothered to explain. He shook his head and followed the others.

Soon, the group entered through the VIP channel and were among the first to board the plane.

Upon arriving in the first-class cabin, Su Yang found his seat and sat down.

Not long after, a flight attendant wearing a dark blue uniform walked towards him.

The flight attendant was very beautiful, tall, and had a great figure. She was wearing the airline's mandatory black stockings on her legs.

She walked up to Su Yang, revealed eight teeth, and crouched down with a smile. "Hello, sir. Welcome aboard Huahai Airlines. The plane is about to take off. Please fasten your seatbelt."

Su Yang smiled and lowered his head to look for the seatbelt, but after fiddling with it for a while, he didn't know how to fasten it.

He looked at the flight attendant who was helping him organize his things and thought to himself, What should I call the flight attendant? A server? That doesn't sound right. Miss? I'll probably get slapped. Ah, forget it.

Su Yang couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it. He directly called out, "Uh, beautiful, how do I do this seatbelt? I'm not very good at it. Can you teach me?"

The flight attendant turned to look at Su Yang and smiled, "I'll help you, sir."

As she spoke, she walked to Su Yang's side and crouched down to personally help him fasten his seatbelt.

At this moment, the two of them were very close, and the flight attendant exuded a captivating perfume.

Damn, no wonder so many guys like dating flight attendants. There must be a reason. Su Yang looked up at the flight attendant in front of him a couple more times.

After fastening the seatbelt, the flight attendant glanced at Su Yang with a slight blush on her face. Then, she turned sideways and crouched down to introduce the service.

"Sir, our flight time is approximately two hours and ten minutes. After takeoff, there will be dining service, with both Chinese and Western options. Would you like to see the menu?"

"No, nothing for me. Just a cup of iced Americano later."

"So, you don't need any food?"

"Yes."

"Okay, please rest. I'll bring you an iced Americano after takeoff."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."
