Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Arriving at Longhai City

On the plane.

Lu Qinghuan curiously looked towards Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, what did that person say to you earlier?"

Chen Fan said, "He told me your waters are too deep for me to grasp and that I should keep my distance from you."

Lu Qinghuan was taken aback and then her cheeks flushed red, "Waters too deep... That person really lacks manners."

Chen Fan looked at Lu Qinghuan, "Hmm? Isn’t that an internet catchphrase? How does it constitute a lack of manners?"

Lu Qinghuan then realized she had misunderstood and her face instantly reddened to the base of her neck. She stammered in a fluster, "I... I misunderstood, I’m sorry."

Chen Fan felt it was all rather baffling and closed his eyes to cultivate, no longer paying attention to Lu Qinghuan.

Three hours later.

The plane arrived in Longhai City.

A private car came to pick up Lu Qinghuan and Chen Fan.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened.

Chen Fan, gazing out of the car window at the bustling streets and the glimmer of neon lights, felt somewhat nostalgic, "This place has developed quite well, it already has the semblance of an international metropolis."

As the provincial city of Jiangnan Province, Longhai City’s economic development was extremely rapid, in addition to its prosperity in martial arts.

In comparison, the provincial city of Jiangbei Province paled significantly.

"If I remember correctly, Zhipeng started his career in Longhai City after graduating from university. I could look him up and catch up on old times," Chen Fan murmured to himself.

Zhipeng was his childhood friend; both were from Pingyun County and had been classmates from elementary school through high school.

Later, after heading to different universities, they took separate paths and gradually lost contact.

"Mr. Chen, it’s getting late today. I’ll have my family prepare a room for you. Tomorrow I will ask my father and then take you to that place," offered Lu Qinghuan.

Chen Fan waved it off, "I’m new in town, I’d better stay in a hotel rather than trouble your family."

He wanted to wander around Longhai City by himself.

Seeing Chen Fan insist, Lu Qinghuan nodded and then handed him a golden card, "This is the VIP membership card of Longhai Hotel. You can stay in the presidential suite there anytime. Please make yourself comfortable there, Mr. Chen."

Without hesitation, Chen Fan accepted the golden card, "Thank you."

Lu Qinghuan added, "With this card, you can enjoy the top-level services at Longhai Hotel. I’ll call their general manager in a bit to have them prepare for your arrival."

Chen Fan nodded and didn’t say anything more.

After crossing an intersection, Chen Fan asked for the location of Longhai Hotel and then had the driver let him out.

He wanted to walk there, taking in the local customs of Longhai City on the way.

As he walked, Chen Fan noticed that people here, too, were in a hurry, engrossed in the daily grind.

Whether in a big city like Longhai or a smaller place like Jiangcheng, there was little difference under the pressure of life.

"Lu Qinghuan mentioned that if I followed this road straight, I’d see Longhai Hotel. Why have I walked so far without reaching it?"

Chen Fan felt puzzled, pulled out his phone to check, and realized he had gone the wrong way.

"To think I am a cultivator and still managed to get lost," he chuckled at himself and spotted a bus stop not far away, "Well, might as well take the bus there."

He walked up to the bus stop and waited for the bus that would take him to Longhai Hotel.

Just then, a woman riding an electric scooter stopped in front of him, "Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan gave the woman a once-over. She was dressed to the nines in a hotel uniform, slender and striking, but he didn’t recognize her.

"Who are you?" Chen Fan asked.

The woman let out a cold laugh, "Oh, even though we haven’t met much, you’ve already forgotten me? Remember when at my cousin’s house, I deliberately accused you of peeping while I was taking a bath, and as a result, you were punished by my cousin to kneel on durians?"

Chen Fan immediately remembered who she was.

Qin Lan’s cousin, Zhang Xiaoqian.

His expression instantly turned cold, "Ah, it’s you."

When Zhang Xiaoqian was staying at Qin Lan’s home, she often gave him trouble.

Zhang Xiaoqian sneered, "I heard my cousin kicked you out. So, what, you’re planning to make something of yourself in Longhai City?"

"Tsk, tsk. Trash will always be trash, no matter where you go, all you can do is take the bus."

Chen Fan was speechless, "Hmm, can’t compare with you who rides an e-bike."

"Please." Zhang Xiaoqian pursed her lips disdainfully, "My home is nearby, okay? It’s convenient for me to ride an e-bike to work. Do you have any idea how expensive houses here are per square meter? You could work your whole life and probably still couldn’t afford a bathroom!"

"Country bumpkin, I won’t waste my time with you. I’m going to be late."

Having said that, Zhang Xiaoqian rode away on her e-bike.

Chen Fan didn’t give her a second thought.

He was a Cultivator, and ordinary people were no different from ants in his eyes. Moreover, his account had more than a billion lying in it now, with companies transferred over by Su Qingyan, and even the Lu Family of Longhai needed him.

All Zhang Xiaoqian could boast about was a house costing tens of thousands per square meter.

The two were not on the same level whatsoever.

Soon, the bus arrived, and Chen Fan got on.

...

Longhai Hotel.

Zhang Xiaoqian parked her e-bike and entered the lobby.

Manager Wang Lei was instructing a group of attendants to line up in two rows.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoqian, he immediately waved, "Hurry up, we are only waiting for you. We have a very important guest arriving soon, and we must not neglect him."

Zhang Xiaoqian quickly took her place at the head of the line, smiling as she asked Manager Wang, "Mr. Manager Wang, who’s the VIP this time? You’re making quite the fuss."

Wang Lei said, "It’s a guest from the Lu Family, apparently quite young, so I’ve asked you pretty girls to welcome him, be alert."

Zhang Xiaoqian’s eyes lit up, "A guest from the Lu Family, and young, must be a promising young man. If I could catch his eye, wouldn’t I be transformed into a phoenix soaring to the branches?"

Wang Lei’s face was full of contempt, "Don’t you have a boyfriend already?"

Zhang Xiaoqian covered her mouth with a laugh, throwing a flirtatious glance at Wang Lei, "A fine bird chooses a tree to perch on, Mr. Manager Wang, if you fancy me, I won’t go home tonight."

Wang Lei laughed too and reached out to touch Zhang Xiaoqian’s bottom, "We’ll talk after work."

Behind them, the attendants looked on with contempt, jealousy, or envy.

Before long, Chen Fan finally arrived at Longhai Hotel.

He walked into the lobby and looked at the splendid decorations, his face full of emotion, "This must be the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in."

Wang Lei noticed Chen Fan and quickly told the attendants, "A young man just arrived over there, not sure if he’s our guest. Stand properly, ready to greet him!"

Zhang Xiaoqian looked over and frowned, "Mr. Manager Wang, it’s definitely not him."

She then walked straight to Chen Fan and said fiercely, "Chen Fan, are you sick or something? Even if you’re jealous of me, you can’t be stalking me, right?"
