"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has come to a complete stop. Please exit the cabin from the front boarding gate..."

"Please collect your checked luggage at the baggage claim area. Passengers transiting to another flight at this station, please proceed to the transfer counter in the departure lounge..."

"Thank you for choosing Eastern Airlines. See you on your next journey!"

As the airport announcement sounded.

Swoosh——

Xu Yun and his group of seven dragged their luggage out of the terminal, the wheels of the suitcase making low, rumbling sounds on the ground.

Xu Yun glanced at Tang Li, who was looking for their airport pickup ahead, and whispered to Old Su:

"Old Su, how did you find the flight? Comfortable enough?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Old Su calmly pulled his suitcase to the outer side, getting closer to Xu Yun, and replied,

"I adapted well enough while we were airborne, but my ears couldn't quite handle the take-off and landing."

Hearing this, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile lightly.

Although in the Northern Song dungeon, Old Su had once flown on a plane piloted by Wang Bing, so he had been in the sky before.

But at that time, Xu Yun designed a very basic Boeing-2, which was slow, and barely reached an altitude of eight hundred meters.

This kind of primitive low-altitude flight is a completely different concept from modern commercial aviation.

Thus, this time Xu Yun not only bought Old Su a ticket but also deliberately chose him a window seat.

Once the plane ascended to high altitude.

Even though Old Su was a Prime Minister in his past life and lived two lives, he still couldn't avoid some loss of composure.

He was like a curious child, staring out the window from start to finish, occasionally uttering a few exclamations.

Luckily, Old Su's character was from a poor background coming out of an orphanage, and during university, he relied on financial aid for impoverished students, having little savings.

Having just graduated from university, it's quite normal that he hadn't flown before.

After all, it wasn't surprising to board a plane these days, nor was it rare to have never flown.

Thus, for Old Su's slight awkwardness, everyone just laughed it off understandingly.

Then Xu Yun paused for a moment and continued in a low voice:

"Once we reach the guesthouse, take your time to get used to the room. I've already briefed you on fetching the electricity card and such; everything else should be no different from home."

"If there's anything you aren't comfortable with, remember to let me know in time, okay?"

Old Su nodded, instinctively wanting to stroke his beard, but realizing his chin was bare, he adjusted his collar calmly and said,

"No problem."

It's nearing the end of the year now, with many Hanhua Group staff out collecting debts, but few guests to entertain.

Moreover, Xu Yun's team was introduced by Tian Liangwei as a visiting delegation, representing Ke Da.

Therefore, Lin Zhenhua generously waved his hand, arranging individual guest rooms for each team member.

As a result.

Old Su was quite comfortable—originally, Xu Yun was planning to have Hanhua arrange two standard rooms for him.

And just as Xu Yun and Old Su were chatting.

In front, Tang Li suddenly noticed something, turned her head, and pointed in a direction, saying:

"Dr. Xu, look, the person picking us up is over there!"

Xu Yun immediately stopped talking with Old Su and looked in that direction.

Sure enough.

About thirty meters to their right, a man was holding up a sign that read 'Huadun Biotech Visiting Group'.

Seeing this.

Xu Yun immediately gestured to the people behind him, saying:

"Everyone, the pickup person is up ahead, let's go over there quickly."

Then the group dragged their suitcases and approached the person, while Tang Li opened the chat interface on WeChat, showing it to him:

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhao? I'm Xiaotang, who contacted you on WeChat."

"Yes, yes, I am Zhao Haiyang."

The man quickly lowered the sign, smiling as he answered Tang Li's question, and then swiftly scanned everyone with his gaze.

Having seen the photos sent by Tang Li beforehand, he quickly identified Xu Yun among the group and proactively extended a hand, saying:

"You must be Dr. Xu? I've heard so much about you."

"I am Zhao Haiyang, the manager of a service company under Hanhua Group, responsible for your reception. If you encounter any issues during your stay with Hanhua, feel free to reach out to me."

Xu Yun extended his hand to shake his:

"Manager Zhao, you're too kind. The flight was over ten minutes late; sorry for keeping you waiting."

Zhao Haiyang waved his hand indifferently, took Xu Yun's luggage, and smiled:

"It's nothing, nothing. This is my job, receiving guests is part of my duty."

"We can't let people come from afar to discuss business with Hanhua and not even see a sign visible after exiting the airport, can we? That's not the Huaxia way of hospitality."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left the terminal under Zhao Haiyang's guidance.

They went to the parking lot and got into two Mercedes-Benz V260L vehicles.

In fact, with the financial power of Hanhua Industrial Group.

Even beyond the Mercedes V260L,

they could afford a Toyota Alphard or even a Lexus LM.

But since both of those are Neon cars and Lin Zhenhua had been contending with Neon people all his life, naturally, he wasn't going to choose Neon cars.

Subsequently, in the car, Zhao Haiyang further introduced the situation of Hanhua Factory to everyone.

For example, Yong City is the second-largest city in Zhijiang Province, hosting the international hub, Yongcheng Port, with extremely convenient water transportation conditions.

Precisely because of this.

Lin Zhenhua moved Han Hua Heavy Industry's headquarters to Yong City, developing it into a renowned domestic heavy industry leader.

Currently, Hanhua Group has about 15,000 employees, about a third of Baosteel Group, and roughly on par with Wanhua Chemical.
