Chapter 200: Gifting an Airplane
"How could I not come to your wedding? After all, I still have to give you a wedding gift," Zhao Liu said with a laugh.
At that moment, Chu Feng noticed that Zhao Quan had also come along.
"Big Brother," Zhao Quan shouted as soon as he saw Chu Feng.
The shout drew the attention of many people in the courtyard.
Many didn’t know who Zhao Quan was, but Jiang Tao did, as did a few others.
"What? You two know each other?" Jiang Tao asked in surprise when he saw Zhao Quan.
Clearly, Jiang Tao also knew Zhao Quan.
"Duh, Fatty Jiang. This is my Big Brother. You dare call my Big Brother your brother? Doesn’t that mean you’d be putting yourself on the same level as me?" Zhao Quan asked with a sidelong glance.
Zhao Quan was a young master of the Zhao Family, and his temperament came off as arrogant and unruly.
Jiang Tao was taken aback by Zhao Quan’s words. He froze for a moment before saying with an awkward laugh, "That... How could that be? I was just joking."
"Alright, Zhao Quan, stop trying to scare Brother Jiang. It’s fine to call me that, it doesn’t matter," Chu Feng said.
"Hmph. If my Big Brother hadn’t told me to drop it, I would’ve taught you a lesson," Zhao Quan said, looking displeased.
"Brother Jiang, don’t mind him. That’s just how he is," Chu Feng said to Jiang Tao.
"Ah." Jiang Tao could only acknowledge it, not daring to say anything more.
At that moment, the big bosses and executives standing nearby heard this exchange, and their hearts all skipped a beat.
’Who would have thought this young man had such a powerful background?’
’Even a young master of the Zhao Family calls him Big Brother.’
’It’s best not to provoke this young man in the future.’
"Brother Jiang, didn’t you say it was time to eat? Let’s start. I’m getting hungry," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Right, let’s eat," Jiang Tao said, nodding as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was still reeling with fear. ’I’d better watch this big mouth of mine in the future. Otherwise, I might get myself into huge trouble one day.’
After going inside, Chu Feng was seated at the head of the table. Everyone had insisted he take the seat of honor.
This left Chu Feng feeling rather helpless.
"Brother Jiang, when are you planning to go pick up the bride? Are you heading over tonight?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, my bride is in Jiangdong. I’ve already chartered two planes and arranged for over a dozen cars. We’ll land, and the procession will start the next morning. We should be back in Beihai around nine or ten in the morning," Jiang Tao briefly explained the schedule.
"In that case, let me congratulate you on your wedding in advance, Brother Jiang," Chu Feng said, raising his glass with a smile.
Afterward, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
"Big Brother, I just heard from Sister-in-law that you’re going to be a best man. Count me in! I’ve never been a best man before," Zhao Quan said after downing his drink in one gulp.
"You want to go too? We’ll have to ask Brother Jiang about the arrangements," Chu Feng said.
"No problem, no problem at all! For Young Master Zhao to be one of my best men... I couldn’t ask for more. It’s an honor that would last three lifetimes," Jiang Tao quickly agreed, shamelessly flattering him.
Although Jiang Tao was a jewelry tycoon in Beihai City, he wouldn’t dare offend the Zhao Family.
Especially not a young master of the Zhao Family like Zhao Quan. If he offended him, his jewelry empire would be bankrupt by tomorrow.
"Big Brother, did you hear that? Fatty Jiang agreed," Zhao Quan said happily.
"Be more polite. Call him Brother Jiang or Boss Jiang," Chu Feng said, glancing at Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan’s behavior was indeed making things a little awkward for Jiang Tao.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu, Young Master Zhao, Sixth Master Zhao, and all the bosses for gracing my, Fatty Jiang’s, wedding with your presence. I have no words to express my gratitude, so allow me to toast you all with three drinks first." Jiang Tao raised his glass and downed it, then drank two more in quick succession.
After the meal, Jiang Tao immediately began preparations.
He started coordinating the wedding cars and venue arrangements directly.
"Alright, I’ve prepared a plane for everyone. Let’s fly to Jiangdong now. If we wait until tomorrow morning, we might be cutting it a bit close," Jiang Tao said to the group.
No one had any objections.
On the way to the airport, Chu Feng, Zhao Liu, and the others shared a car.
"Brother Chu, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would never have been able to clear my name," Zhao Liu said gratefully to Chu Feng.
"Yeah, Big Brother. I mentioned yesterday’s incident to Sister Qinghan, and she said the same thing. If those two old men had died at the Beihai Hotel, then Sword King Valley and the Jiangdong Huang Family would have definitely declared open war on us," Zhao Quan said.
"So, you’re saying someone was deliberately behind this? Have you found any leads?" Chu Feng asked.
"We don’t have any concrete leads, but I’m sure the Tang Family is involved. The poison used isn’t available on the open market. Only people in the Martial Arts World can get their hands on it, which makes the Tang Family the prime suspect," Zhao Quan said.
"If it’s just speculation without any substantial evidence, you can’t really move against the Tang Family, can you?" Chu Feng said with a frown.
"True, without evidence, we can’t act rashly against the Tang Family. But I’m sure that guy Tang Qian was behind it. He’s an expert at poisoning, and he showed up in Beihai suddenly without any warning. Something is definitely fishy," Zhao Quan continued.
"Hm. Let’s not worry about that for now. How are He Guangming and Huang Xuan?" Chu Feng asked.
"Oh, them? They went back. They were originally here to discuss a partnership, but after this incident, the deal was put on hold," Zhao Liu said.
All of this made Chu Feng feel that an invisible hand was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Soon, the group had all boarded the plane.
"Brother Jiang, I have to say, you really know how to live. This plane is so luxuriously decorated!" Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise as soon as he boarded.
He had flown on commercial airliners at most, but never on a private jet like this.
Jiang Tao’s private jet could hold dozens of people, and its interior was decorated like a villa, exuding luxury. The smell of money was everywhere.
"If you like it, Mr. Chu, I’ll give you one," Jiang Tao said extravagantly.
"Forget it. I don’t normally need one. If you gave it to me, it would just sit at the airport collecting dust," Chu Feng said, shaking his head in refusal.
"Then give one to me! When I have nothing to do, I can take the plane and travel around," Zhao Quan immediately perked up.
"Young Master, if you want one, I have several more. Take your pick," Zhao Liu said hurriedly.
The price of a jet like this was not cheap. All-in, it would cost several billion.
Although Jiang Tao was rich, having to shell out that much money at once would still be incredibly painful for him.
