Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 428 - 341: Night on the Ship

"Thank you, Boss Zhu. For such good tea, Little Fox and I are trying it for the first time, and today we’re really enjoying ourselves."

After all, Zhou Yingying had mingled in the circle of second-generation rich kids and had seen some of the world with Shi Yang. Even though she was a bit reserved in Zhu Zheng’s establishment, she managed to appear natural on the surface.

After echoing a few words of agreement, she picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and discreetly signaled to Little Fox to relax.

In contrast, Little Fox was noticeably more uneasy.

She held the teacup tightly with both hands, instinctively took a sip, but was scalded and exclaimed in surprise, almost dropping the cup on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingying was startled and hurriedly reached out to help clean up.

Zhu Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Little Fox. The tea is still hot, you need to blow on it and sip it slowly."

Seeing Little Fox looking flustered and full of apology, he waved his hand generously: "No need to worry, it’s not a big deal. I’ll have someone clean it up."

In front of the others, Zhu Zheng consistently displayed his generous and kind side today, occasionally sneaking a glance at Li Jing’s reactions to him.

Meanwhile, Li Jing quietly drank his tea, without much speech or display.

Yet the more composed and restrained Li Jing was, the more Zhu Zheng felt he was unfathomable.

Had it been other strangers acting all distant and superior in front of him, even if they were charming, Zhu Zheng would have felt dissatisfaction.

But Li Jing was different. He had genuinely made Liu Jun and a group of second-generation rich kids apologize and bow their heads. He was also warmly entertained by city leader Director Xiao and Liu Dazhi. That spoke volumes about his unusual status and influence.

Considering Li Jing’s behavior at the moment, Zhu Zheng concluded that his background and strength were profound. So, when conversing with Li Jing, his words unconsciously carried more respect.

After some idle chatter, Zhu Zheng learned that Li Jing planned to visit Yashi next. He then said:

"President Li, for a trip to Yashi, ordinary people either take the high-speed rail or a car. Would you like to try a different mode of transportation?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow: "A different mode of transportation? Are you suggesting a boat?"

"Taking a boat isn’t impossible, but it’s too slow and nothing special."

Zhu Zheng shook his head and smiled as he explained: "I have a friend who runs a private helicopter team, specializing in catering to top-tier clients, usually requiring advance booking.

President Li, if you’re interested, I can contact my friend now and ensure a proper arrangement for you in a few days. I’ll also try to get you a discount on the cost."

"Traveling by helicopter?"

Upon hearing Zhu Zheng’s suggestion, Li Jing was a bit surprised. He hadn’t considered this mode of travel before.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yingying curiously asked, "Boss Zhu, the cost of a helicopter must be significantly higher than high-speed rail or a car, right?"

Zhu Zheng chuckled and replied, "It is indeed more expensive, but I’ll do my best to secure a discount for President Li.

Usually, regular members can get a 10% discount with my friend’s team, and premium members can get a 20% discount. Because I’m on good terms with them, President Li, you should be able to get a 30% discount. President Li, are you interested?"

Regarding the discount, Li Jing was indifferent.

On the contrary, the more he spent, the more system rewards he would receive.

So, he waved it off and said, "There’s no need for a discount. Don’t waste your connections, Boss Zhu. Just charge the regular price.

It’s my first time traveling to another city by helicopter. If the experience is good, I’ll charter a helicopter for all my long-distance travel in Hai Province during this period.

Only, I’m not sure if their team can accommodate this kind of service?"

Zhu Zheng was surprised that Li Jing didn’t care about the price, further convinced of his considerable financial power.

Otherwise, anyone else would hesitate to say such a thing.

Even some previous wealthy individuals who flew with his friend’s team hoped to secure more discounts and offers.

It was the first time he encountered a big client like Li Jing, willing to forgo discounts.

Clearly, Li Jing’s financial strength exceeded his expectations, even more so when Li Jing mentioned chartering.

Zhu Zheng thought for a moment and quickly said, "President Li, I’ve never heard my friend mention chartering, but it should be possible. I’ll have to ask."

With that, not wanting to keep Li Jing waiting, he immediately picked up the phone to call his friend.

He did this both to quickly arrange the charter for Li Jing and to showcase his connections and value to Li Jing, thus better building their friendship.

In his networking philosophy, if someone is valuable enough to connect with, one must also demonstrate corresponding value.

So, right in front of Li Jing, Zhu Zheng talked to his friend over the phone for quite some time.

After hanging up, Zhu Zheng smiled at Li Jing and said, "President Li, my friend said many people use their helicopters, but big clients like you chartering them are rare yearly.

This means I brought my friend a big business deal, and he’s quite thankful to me. Now it seems I owe you a favor, President Li."

Zhu Zheng’s words were tactfully put.

In fact, he was the one assisting Li Jing.

After all, such chartering required advance booking, and without connections, Li Jing might find it challenging to access besides even knowing about this travel option.
