I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 683 - 478 Departure

Hearing Xia Liang’s somewhat indifferent voice, Zhao Li didn’t pay it much mind. After glancing at the two of them, she continued speaking.

"It seems Mister Xia and Miss Tong are here on a trip to the island. The hotel you booked must be quite far from the airport, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Liang nodded. He wasn’t too surprised that Zhao Li had guessed this. This was a common practice for travelers: book a hotel near the scenic spots to sleep in a little later and fully enjoy the next day.

With Xia Liang’s confirmation, Zhao Li’s eyes brightened, and she said with a smile, "That is correct. I’m sure Mister Xia is tired after everything that has happened. To express our gratitude, Southern Airlines has prepared a presidential suite in a five-star hotel for you two. You can head there now, and we will arrange a shuttle to take you to the attractions tomorrow."

Hearing this, Tong Dongnuan instinctively expressed doubt.

"A five-star hotel with shuttle service? Why?"

"Because Mister Xia rescued Southern Airlines," Zhao Li stated bluntly.

It was no exaggeration to say that Xia Liang had rescued Southern Airlines. If he hadn’t been there and the plane had crashed, the deaths of even half the passengers—over fifty living souls—would have been enough to shake the entire Dragon Country. The subsequent backlash Southern Airlines would have faced is hard to imagine.

Zhao Li’s words brought Tong Dongnuan back to reality. Xia Liang had saved an entire plane full of people. It wasn’t surprising for the airline to show such gratitude. At that, Tong Dongnuan fell silent and looked toward Xia Liang.

Seeing the weary look on Tong Dongnuan’s face, Xia Liang simply nodded.

"Alright, thank you, Manager Zhao."

Seeing Xia Liang agree, Zhao Li quickly waved her hands. "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. You can leave your luggage here, and someone will carry it for you."

As she spoke, Zhao Li called out behind her, "Xiao Kang, Xiao Quan, come and carry the luggage."

Two men in security uniforms then came over and took their luggage. The three of them went to the airport parking lot and boarded a business vehicle driven by Zhao Li, who then drove them toward the Island Hotel.

When they arrived at the Island Hotel, a room was already prepared. Zhao Li even escorted them all the way to the door.

Noticing that Zhao Li still hadn’t left, Xia Liang asked nonchalantly, "Is there anything else, Manager Zhao?"

Zhao Li was startled, surprised that Xia Liang had noticed. She had originally planned to bring it up the next day, but since he had already asked, she decided to be direct.

"Since Mister Xia has noticed, I’ll get straight to the point so as not to take up any more of your time. To thank Mister Xia for saving flight U9728, Southern Airlines has prepared a ten Yuan reward as a token of our appreciation. Furthermore, Southern Airlines will cover all of your friend’s travel expenses on the island."

After hearing these words, Xia Liang had yet to react, while Tong Dongnuan’s mouth fell open in shock.

In contrast, Xia Liang was extremely calm. He had to be; after all, such a small sum was hardly worth reacting to.

"Are there any conditions?"

Zhao Li was astonished to see Xia Liang’s calm response to the mention of ten Yuan. Anyone else would have reacted differently. How could he remain so composed when faced with such a huge sum of money? And he even asked if there were conditions... Moreover, she could tell from his gaze that his composure wasn’t an act. It was an authentic, deep-seated calm, as if she had only mentioned a few cents. To think that ten Yuan, which was a substantial amount for her, meant so little to him.

Perhaps he’s from a super-rich family, Zhao Li thought, shaking her head to dismiss the idea.

"It seems nothing can be hidden from Mister Xia."

Saying this, Zhao Li opened her backpack and took out two non-disclosure agreements, handing one to each of them. With puzzled looks, they both opened and read through them.

The agreement stipulated that they would receive two hundred thousand Yuan for keeping the airplane incident confidential. The money would be transferred immediately upon signing, and any breach would result in legal action. This same contract had been signed by all the other passengers on flight U9728, but they only received one-tenth of a currency unit.

This was understandable. Although the plane had landed safely with no fatalities, the incident would still damage Southern Airlines’ public image if it got out.

Tong Dongnuan had benefited from being with Xia Liang, as her compensation was doubled. Simply not disclosing today’s events to the public was no problem for them. The temptation of getting Two Cents just for a signature was immense.

Xia Liang nodded. "Sign it."

Neither of them was the type to seek the spotlight anyway. Besides, the terms were quite relaxed; as long as they didn’t post about it online, bragging to their friends in person was perfectly acceptable.

After they both signed and left their fingerprints, Zhao Li made a phone call. A few moments later, notifications arrived for the bank accounts they had listed on the contracts. Tong Dongnuan had received a transfer for Two Cents. Because Xia Liang’s amount was larger, his notification arrived two minutes later.

Zhao Li hung up the phone and walked over again. "Have you both received the transfers?"

"Yes, we have," Tong Dongnuan nodded excitedly. After all, she’d gotten Two Cents for free. In contrast, Xia Liang just calmly nodded.

Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally completed the tasks assigned by her superiors.

"Now that you’ve received the payment, I won’t disturb your rest any further," she said with a smile. "I will contact Mister Xia tomorrow to arrange your island tour."

"Thank you very much. Goodbye, Manager Zhao," Xia Liang replied politely.

"Goodbye!"

Waving, Zhao Li took the contracts and departed. Xia Liang pulled out the room card.

BEEP.
