Chapter 2387: Chapter 1512: If There Is a Next Life

Sha City Airport.

Not long after landing, someone who low-key returned to their hometown saw their childhood friend standing alone in the airport hall.

She was wearing sunglasses, looking dignified, serene, intellectual, and at ease.

Seemingly been here all along.

Always been here.

Jiang Chen, traveling light with empty hands, wasn’t surprised and walked over with a smile, "Yo, what a coincidence! Who are you picking up?"

The sunglasses were too dark to see her eyes clearly, but that face, gradually evolving from mischievous to gentle, always brought a sense of inner peace.

"Right on time."

Was she talking about the plane’s landing time?

Tianci Airlines is one of Sha City Airport’s most important partners, responsible for nearly 60% of the passenger flow, striving to promote Sha City’s external exchanges, and through reducing costs and improving efficiency in public transportation, aiding Sha City’s development, with a focus on reputation, how could it not be on time.

Of course.

Fang Qing certainly wasn’t complimenting Tianci Airlines.

"No matter how busy I am, I couldn’t miss Tie Jun’s wedding."

Exactly.

Tie Jun is getting married.

He’s the first among our childhood friends to step into the grave of marriage—no, the hall of marriage.

The childhood friends walked out together.

"Where’s Tong Dan? Privately leaking passenger flight information is legally liable."

Jiang Chen deliberately didn’t inform anyone.

No matter how smart Qing Gege is, she couldn’t have predicted this without a ’mole.’

The term ’mole’ is perfectly appropriate here.

The ever-disapproving Tong Dan eventually succumbed to reality, collapsed under someone’s financial power.

The cooperation between Tianci Airlines and Sha City, even for this small city not even considered third-tier, opened direct international routes to Tokyo, all overseen by Tong Dan.

It wasn’t just the newcomers like Xu Siyi and Luo Li’er whose fates were changed by Jiang Chen; even old timers like Tong Dan were affected.

It wasn’t just people, in fact.

Wasn’t this city, trailing in the times, the same?

Some study to escape poverty at home, while others aim to help their hometown escape poverty.

"Didn’t you want to keep a low profile? She didn’t come."

The stunning Tong Dan, now in Sha City, is undoubtedly a prominent figure, much more significant than when she was just a flight attendant. If she showed up, not to mention anything else, it would certainly alert the airport.

"She’s afraid I’ll scold her."

Jiang Chen laughed, "If I scold her now, she probably wouldn’t talk back."

Fang Qing walked beside him, seemingly oblivious to his ’arrogant’ demeanor, "Why did you come back alone?"

"Otherwise, how many should it be?"

Jiang Chen was puzzled. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Where’s Shu Rui?"

"Oh, forgot."

Jiang Chen regretted, as if just remembering, "But she’s quite busy, and Tie Jun hasn’t met her yet; forget it, we’ll find another chance."

Tie Jun indeed hadn’t met Li Shuru yet.

What kind of excuse is that?

Bringing a girlfriend to a friend’s wedding is natural, what does it matter if they’ve met or not?

Isn’t it just the chance to recognize each other?

An oversight.

Truly an oversight.

Fang Qing didn’t persuade further.

Even with Tianci Airlines’ help, it only takes two hours to fly from East Sea to Sha City.

They walked out of the airport.

The Boss parked by the roadside was the one someone gave earlier.

The two got in the car.

"Is Fu Zili out yet?"

"Two more months to serve."

"So he won’t make it to Tie Jun’s wedding?"

"Logically, no."

Fang Qing started the Maserati.

Truly a legal elite, her speech had a high degree of artistry.

"Think of a way. With so many years of friendship, missing Tie Jun’s wedding, Tie Jun wouldn’t say anything, but he’d surely regret it in his heart."

Jiang Chen smiled.

Even though he didn’t interfere when Fu Zili was sent inside due to conflicts of interest back then, nor did he visit, childhood friends remain childhood friends.

After being locked up for so long, Fu Zili too has been punished.

"Mm."

Fang Qing seemed to be waiting for this sentence.

In places like Kyoto and East Sea, someone could stir up storms, not to mention a city like Sha City.

Not even needing him, Fang Qing or even Tong Dan could easily get Fu Zili out, but without someone’s word, no one would act on their own.

"Hoo—"

The window rolled down.

Jiang Chen’s hand reached out, feeling the air of his hometown.

Passing by the entrance of a flower shop, Fang Qing stopped the car.

Jiang Chen smiled and sighed inwardly.

To know him, that’s Qing Gege.

This was an irreplaceable understanding.

"Just a moment."

Jiang Chen opened the door and got out, walking toward the Qiliangxiang Flower Shop, where the shop owner, a young lady, was bending over trimming flowers. The sight of her profile under her short hair made Jiang Chen pause slightly as he approached the shop.

"Buying flowers?"

The shop owner sensed his presence, put down the scissors, straightened up, and turned around.

Seeing her delicate face clearly, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Mm, a bouquet of lilies."

"Okay."

The young flower shop owner promptly got into work mode, picked up an iPad, "Here are some style options, see if you like any."

"Just something simple, you choose for me, please be quick, I’m in a hurry."

"Okay."

The shop owner busied herself, meticulously picking two of the finest lilies for Jiang Chen, her movements deft and her flower arranging serious. Though she looked young, she must have been in the business for quite a while.

"You can sit for a bit; it’ll be quick, just a few minutes."

"Thank you. I’ve just sat for two hours on a plane, standing for a while."

Boss Jiang was always an approachable person.

The flower shop owner, of course, wouldn’t know who this divine customer, seemingly around her age, was, as she casually chatted while arranging flowers: "You’ve just returned from elsewhere, huh?"
