Chapter 830 Business Elite
I looked out of the plane window and saw a man with his head lowered in the transparent boarding passage. He was wearing a blue baseball cap with a larger brim than an ordinary baseball cap and a long-sleeved sweatshirt.
Although the weather has become warmer in recent days, most people have started wearing short sleeves, but wearing long sleeves is not particularly strange. However, what is more eye-catching is the obvious scar on the back of the left hand, extending all the way to the wrist. I guess there may be some on the arm as well.
Just in case, I took a picture of the man. Although it's a bit blurry, you can still see the burns on his arms.
"Do you think there's something wrong with that guy?" I asked Huang Tianyi in a low voice.
"Well, that person looked at us in a strange way."
"What's wrong with that? You look so lustful?" With Huang Tianyi's looks, it seemed normal for a man to look at her like that.
Huang Tianyi pouted. "If it was just a lustful look, I wouldn't find it strange. But when he looked at us, he didn't look at us with the right expression as one would when looking at a beautiful woman."
She hesitated for a moment, "How should I put it? It's a little scary anyway. My intuition tells me that he's not a good person."
Su Rina heard this from the side and said with wide eyes, "Are they planning to hijack the plane? Should we call the police?"
"I told you to watch fewer disaster movies and more positive ones!" Ling Xiuzhi said helplessly, "I don't know what this guy is thinking. Since we're about to take a long flight, he started dragging me to watch 'Con Air,' 'Flight 93,' 'Emergency Landing,' 'Nine Heavens,' and 'Sky: The Lost Ark.'"
Oh my god, you're telling me to gain some experience in air survival."
At this time, the flight attendant also heard it, and she couldn't help laughing and said: "Dear guests, please rest assured that our crew members have undergone rigorous professional training, and the aircraft has also undergone comprehensive safety inspections.
Relax, and you've all experienced how strict the security check is before boarding, right?" He winked at us after saying this.
"That's right," Su Rina nodded. "The family of three who went through security in front of me had a plastic golden cudgel in their suitcase. The security officer asked them what they used it for, and they said after a long while that it was for fighting monsters..."
It made us all laugh, and the tension we had just felt disappeared instantly.
The eighth seat in the first class cabin was occupied by a white woman in her fifties who looked very friendly. She was the last one to come in and nodded and smiled at us before sitting down. As innocent college students without any ulterior motives, we of course responded by showing our eight teeth.
After takeoff, the flight attendants began distributing hot towels, which is a treatment only available in first class.
What followed was a boring 14-hour journey. Another advantage of first class is the free WIFI service. The WIFI in economy class is charged at US$25. I think it would be better to have a big meal than to spend this money on the Internet.
I connected to WIFI and sent a message to Xiao Shiqiu, reporting that the plane had taken off. I also took a picture of the environment in the first-class cabin and sent it to him.
When I was sending it, my hand slipped and the blue baseball cap was sent out with it. I thought about it and withdrew it.
He should still be on his way back to the city at this moment. Half an hour later, a message came in: [What did you withdraw?]
People's focus is so strange. I smiled and replied, "I just took a picture of a guy with scars on his hands. Tianyi said he didn't look like a good person."
【Send it to me and let me take a look.】
Who says only women are curious? Men are the same.
After sending the message, I accidentally saw a copy of "Business Elite" in the net bag beside me. The title on the cover was "STG Group President: From Losing His Mother at a Young Age to a Business Tycoon"
My eyes lit up. What a coincidence, this is written about my old Xiao?
When I opened the magazine, the first thing I saw was a report about him.
I thought this was an inspirational article praising someone's achievements, but it turned out to be an exposé on the dark side of a wealthy family. The beginning of the article did indeed describe how he lost his mother in childhood, but things got wrong later on, as it became a power struggle within the Xiao family. Xiao Shiqiu and his son used all sorts of shady means to suppress other brothers in the family, such as miscarriage and accidents. It was a real drama of a family feud.
The article also implies that he has human blood on his hands, and even describes his experience of being kidnapped as an innocent employee who was persecuted by him, and who was killed by him in the end because of his angry resistance out of helplessness. After his death, the man left behind a poor orphan and a widow who are nowhere to be found.
However, Xiao Shiqiu successfully seized power and became the president of STG.
In addition, the book also writes about his various scandals over the years, including that he had several illegitimate children with minor stars, his assistant, and outsiders. He later abandoned his wife and children for his new love, and even created an image of a loving and doting wife to the outside world, holding a grand engagement party.
New love? Isn't that me?
The entire article is illustrated with pictures and texts, and there are several photos of him with different women. Although they all appear to be social occasions, the angles do look somewhat ambiguous. One of them is Si Kou Ting.
This report really shocked me. I was so angry that my hands were shaking and I wanted to tear up the magazine.
My first reaction was that this had to be fake. Xiao Shiqiu wouldn't be that kind of person. But deep down inside, a faint voice kept saying, "What if this is true? Do you really know this man that well?"
I shook my head vigorously, trying to get rid of this thought. How could I doubt someone who was so good to me just because of an irresponsible report?
Huang Tianyi, who was standing next to me, noticed that I looked a little off, so she leaned over and asked me, "Mengmeng, what's wrong? Is there news about a plane crash in the magazine? Don't read that, you'll only scare yourself."
He took the magazine from me and looked at the cover. "Business Elite, wow, this is about your Xiao."
The others also heard her voice. When they saw someone they knew in the magazine, they instinctively wanted to take a look and started rummaging through the magazines beside their seats.
There was indeed a copy of each magazine at every seat, and even Ling Xiuzhi couldn't help but flip through it and take a look.
"Holy crap! Who publishes this magazine? How dare they spout such nonsense! Is their editor-in-chief trying to get a government job?"
Ling Xiuzhi was shocked and angry after reading it. He subconsciously looked at me and said, "Sister-in-law, this is all nonsense. Don't believe even a single punctuation mark. I'll tell Brother Qiu right now."
I took several deep breaths and forced a smile. "Of course I don't believe this kind of nonsense. This is too much. Aren't they afraid of legal responsibility?"
"The author of this report is a pseudonym. I don't know who is spreading rumors, but doesn't the editorial department review it?" Huang Tianyi frowned. The others looked at each other in bewilderment and tried to comfort me, "Publishing articles like this will definitely lead to legal consequences!"
It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. I took photos of the front and back covers and sent them to Xiao Shiqiu.
Ling Xiuzhi had already waved to call the flight attendant.
