The plane was currently in its final inspection stage. In fact, the group could completely have gone up to the plane to wait, but the two elderly folk had never been to an airport, nor had they ever been to an airport’s VIP lounge.
Chu Wanchen wanted to take them to see these places they had never experienced before, and Shao Wenxin naturally had no objections.
Chu Wanchen had already been to the VIP lounge of Qian City Airport when she went to Shanghai, so she was naturally not as curious as the two elders.
The moment they entered the lounge, the old lady’s eyes were immediately drawn to the full buffet spread, and she repeatedly regretted: “If I had known the airport provided breakfast, I wouldn’t have made it for you guys.”
Yes, in the minds of the elderly, any advantage not taken was considered a loss.
Looking at the old lady’s stance of wanting to go back to the buffet area to grab something even though she was already full.
Fearing that Grandma would upset her stomach, Chu Wanchen hurriedly persuaded her: “Grandma, they will provide food on the plane in a little while, which is even more delicious than this. Let’s wait and eat on the plane later.”
The old lady still had a face full of regret, but at the thought that there would be even better meals after boarding the plane, she could only agree with a pained heart.
Looking at the old lady’s regretful appearance, Chu Wanchen could only helplessly go and grab a few bags of take-away snacks for her.
Just then, a sneer echoed from nearby, and a mocking, sarcastic voice traveled over: “Really, just about anyone can come into the airport’s VIP lounge nowadays.”
Hearing the voice, Chu Wanchen looked over and saw a fashionable young woman wearing a midriff-baring top paired with a hip-hugging skirt, rolling her eyes in their direction.
She was also holding a phone in her hand, unclear whether she was filming a video or livestreaming.
Chu Wanchen knew she was talking about her group. Encountering this kind of brainless provocation for the first time, Chu Wanchen found it somewhat amusing.
Seeing Chu Wanchen laughing at her, the woman instantly flared up with anger. Holding up her phone, she spoke: “Family, any kind of country bumpkin can afford first class now. Don’t tell me they sneaked in. I’m going to find the staff right now and have them throw these people out.”
“Putting on airs of being wealthy. Look at the clothes they are wearing, there isn’t a single logo. One look and you can tell they were bought from a street stall.”
“Exactly, how can they compare to our Yaoyao, who is both rich and beautiful.”
Seeing the flattery on the bullet screen, the streamer Yaoyao felt her vanity satisfied.
“Yeah, one look and you can tell they aren’t rich people. Who knows how they slipped in. Staying with this kind of people will really lower one’s class.”
Hearing what this woman said, Chu Wanchen was instantly speechless.
Big sister, even if you want to pick a fight, you should at least look at what their entire group is wearing.
Although the two elderly folk were still wearing their old clothes, Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin were covered in luxury brands from head to toe, and Shao Wenxin was even holding a Hermès Himalaya in her hand.
When buying clothes, Chu Wanchen did not like to buy styles with big logos. Therefore, although the clothes she wore all came from major brands, to someone unfamiliar with the brands, it looked as if the group was wearing unbranded street-stall goods.
Of course, someone who frequently interacted with luxury goods would probably not utter such ignorant words, but looking at this female streamer’s appearance, she did not seem like someone who could frequently purchase luxury goods. Had anyone not seen that she was still begging for tips from the audience in the livestream room right now?
Before Chu Wanchen even had time to retort with a single word, this streamer went to find the staff with a smug face.
Before long, a staff member came over, located Chu Wanchen’s group to verify their identities, and checked whether they had sneaked into the lounge.
That female streamer stood to one side, holding her phone and arrogantly livestreaming this scene.
While livestreaming, she was also saying: “I brought the staff over. These poor ghosts will soon be revealed in their true colors.”
Chu Wanchen had not been called a poor ghost for a long time. Hearing these words, she suddenly felt it was absurd. Could this streamer be an idiot? Carrying a fake LV bag, she considered herself upper class?
Could it really be that after telling too many lies, she had deceived herself as well?
Over here, after the staff member verified the ID cards and confirmed that the group had not purchased first-class or business-class plane tickets, just as he wanted to invite them to wait outside, he saw Chu Wanchen take out a black-gold card.
This was prepared for Chu Wanchen by China Aviation. With this card, one could enter and exit the VIP lounge of any domestic airport, which was something only China Aviation’s most distinguished clients could possess.
The airport staff member recognized the black-gold card on the spot, and his attitude immediately did a 180-degree turn: “Apologies, ma’am, for disturbing your rest.”
The staff members were all acting according to regulations, so Chu Wanchen naturally would not make things difficult for them. She waved her hand and said it was fine.
Seeing that the group had not bought first class but could still enter the VIP lounge, and that the staff member she called over even apologized to them, the female streamer immediately started making a scene.
“On what grounds can they enter the lounge? Doesn’t your airport have regulations?” The female streamer’s tone was very bad.
“Could it be that these staff members are the ones who let those poor ghosts in?”
It was truly a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
The viewers in streamer Yaoyao’s livestream room were just as brainless as her, clamoring one after another in the bullet screen to report the staff of Qian City Airport for abusing power for personal gain.
The staff member was deeply afraid that Chu Wanchen would take issue with them, and at the same time secretly hated this woman’s lack of discernment. Did she really think everyone was like her, using power to bully others and looking for trouble out of nothing?
The money you, a little streamer, earn in over a dozen years is not even enough to buy a single watch on that person’s wrist. A big shot of this level, and you dare to provoke them—truly, the ignorant are fearless.
“Ma’am, they are China Aviation’s black-gold card clients. This kind of card is only issued to clients who own private jets.”
The staff member looked at Yaoyao with a face full of disdain, and his tone of explanation was also filled with impatience.
“Private jet? These few poor ghosts can also have a private jet? Couldn’t this be a reason you fabricated just to let them into the lounge?”
The staff member was equally impatient and warned in a firm tone: “Ma’am, if you continue to make trouble unreasonably and harass our VIP clients, we will have to escort you out.”
Streamer Yaoyao could only shut her mouth resentfully and speak no more.
This kind of frog in a well thought the world consisted only of the single patch of sky before her eyes. Naturally, she was unwilling to believe that there were people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.
Chu Wanchen, who originally wanted to retort her, felt it was quite meaningless. Lowering her own standards to dispute with this kind of person would be the real downgrade.
Just then, the staff member from China Aviation came over to notify her that the plane had completed its final inspection and they could board at any time.
Chu Wanchen no longer paid attention to the farce here, picked up the snacks, and walked back to her family.
“Erbao, a staff member came over just now wanting to see our ID cards. Did something happen?” Seeing Chu Wanchen return, Grandma hurriedly pulled her and asked.
“Grandma, it’s nothing. We are about to board the plane, so they came to verify our identity information.”
Hearing Chu Wanchen say it was nothing, the old lady’s heart was put at ease, and she didn’t forget to smoothly stuff the snacks into her bag.
Seeing that the group was all ready, the staff member led them toward the direction of the boarding gate.
At this time, streamer Yaoyao’s flight was also broadcasted to notify boarding, and the boarding gates on both sides were extremely close.
Yaoyao hurriedly followed over. She still suspected that the staff member was abusing power for personal gain and wanted to capture evidence of the staff member lying, then post it online to earn a wave of popularity.
Very soon, the group arrived at the boarding gate. Because it was a private flight, there was a separate shuttle bus parked at the boarding gate waiting for them.
Once the group sat firmly, the vehicle started immediately.
Seeing a long queue waiting for the shuttle bus at the neighboring boarding gate, Grandma asked in confusion: “Erbao, there are still so many empty seats, don’t we need to wait for other people to get on the bus?”
“Grandma, they are not on the same plane as us, we don’t need to wait for them.”
Hearing Chu Wanchen’s explanation, the old lady said no more. In any case, her daughter said the itinerary was all arranged and they only needed to play, so she naturally didn’t consider that much anymore.
When streamer Yaoyao saw Chu Wanchen’s family board the exclusive shuttle bus, and then board a brand-new plane packed with a sense of technology that was completely different from the other planes in the airport, she completely fell silent. Even the bullet screen in her livestream room stopped floating.
When the frog in the well jumps out of the bottom of the well, it feels at a complete loss. Unwilling to accept the sky outside its cognition, before long, it will jump back into the well where it has always lived. When you ask again how big the sky is, it will still only speak of that single patch of sky surrounded by the mouth of the well.
