Chapter 127 Luggage rack catches fire
The college students on the special tourist bus were stunned. Had they heard correctly?
That kind young lady wearing the flower wreath is Sister Jiang!
Someone boldly asked Captain Liu for confirmation, "Uncle, is that young lady really Sister Jiang?"
Captain Liu smiled upon hearing this and gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, you guys are really lucky today."
The next moment, the people in the car erupted in thunderous screams.
"Aaaaaah! I missed out on a fortune!"
"Why didn't I recognize her right away?! Waaah, I missed the chance to take a photo with Sister Jiang."
"Zhao Xiaotian! I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
"So Sister Jiang didn't have to take this bus, but she noticed something was wrong with the driver and was worried about us, so she followed us."
"Yes, that must be it."
Captain Liu escorted the college students to the Yuanjiang University bus stop and instructed them not to post any messages online until the announcement was released the next morning.
The students quickly promised to keep quiet and not cause any trouble for the officers.
Jinghua Hotel, downtown Nanyuan.
Jinghua has investments in Nanyuan. Yan Qian visited Nanyuan a few years ago. The top-floor business suites are not open to the public and are reserved for senior executives of the group who come on business trips.
The assistant had informed the person in charge in Nanyuan two days in advance, and the person in charge had all the bedding in the business suite replaced with new ones.
Since Mr. Yan didn't like having fragrances in the room, the manager asked the housekeeping department to prepare fresh fruit.
The assistant told the person in charge that there was no need to make a big fuss, so when Yan Qian and Jiang Mingyue arrived at the hotel, only the lobby manager greeted them at the door.
"Mr. Yan, Miss Jiang."
The lobby manager was very curious about the legendary Sister Jiang, but as a professional hotel manager, he didn't dare to look at Jiang Mingyue too much, only glancing at her a few times when he greeted her.
Sister Jiang's aura was indeed very strong; even President Yan deliberately lagged behind her by half a step, letting her walk in front.
Jiang Mingyue nodded to the lobby manager as a greeting.
Yan Qian thanked the other party for their hard work, then took the room key from his assistant and led Jiang Mingyue directly to the top floor in the elevator.
The business suite is approximately 200 square meters and includes a living room, a kitchenette, a meeting room, and two bedrooms.
Jiang Mingyue looked around and was very satisfied with the business suite.
She kicked off her shoes and sat down on the sofa, resting her head on her hands. "Yanqian, I'm hungry. I want to eat wontons with shepherd's purse and pork filling."
"I'm not sure if they have shepherd's purse filling, I'll have them arrange it."
While making a phone call to his assistant, Yan Qian placed the pastries he had brought back on the coffee table.
After a moment, he turned to her and asked, "The shepherd's purse is frozen, and the wontons need to be wrapped first, which will take half an hour. Do you mind?"
"If you don't mind, I can go take a shower first."
Yan Qian quickly gave the order, then approached her, bent down to pick up her shoes, placed them on the shoe rack next to the door, and brought her a pair of slippers.
Jiang Mingyue slipped on her slippers, and Yan Qian escorted her to the largest master bedroom bathroom, where he also brought her a brand new set of pajamas.
"It was brought from Huai County. It has been washed and dried, so you can wear it without worry."
Jiang Mingyue gently stroked Yan Qian's handsome face and praised him for being capable and considerate.
Yan Qian grasped her waist, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her. "It is my honor to serve Sister Jiang."
If he doesn't work harder, he'll eventually be ranked last in her heart.
Jiang Mingyue giggled, snuggled against him, and then pushed him out; she was going to take a shower.
Jiang Mingyue washed up and dried her hair before coming out.
Yan Qian had finished showering and, wearing a bathrobe, called her to the living room to eat wontons.
The sleeves of her silk pajamas were too long, so Jiang Mingyue rolled them up, sat down at the dining table, and asked Yan Qian if he wanted to eat.
Yan Qian gestured for her to eat by herself, and then he went to the conference room to make a phone call.
The celadon plate held fifteen round wontons, the soup broth was clear and delicious. Jiang Mingyue tasted one first and was instantly attracted, finishing the rest in one go.
She put the tray on the cart by the door, then went to brush her teeth again. When she came out, she saw that Yan Qian was still busy, so she didn't disturb him and went back to the bedroom to stand against the wall.
Yan Qian finished his meeting with European clients close to midnight. The living room was empty, and the master bedroom was quiet as well.
Yan Qian knew Jiang Mingyue well; she rarely went to bed early, usually not until 11 or 12 at night.
He walked to the master bedroom door, still feeling uneasy, and knocked. Seeing that the door wasn't closed properly, he pushed it open with a knock.
Jiang Mingyue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating with her eyes closed.
This was the first time Yan Qian had seen Jiang Mingyue meditating. She looked completely different now, no longer aloof, but suddenly solemn and dignified, which made him feel intimidated.
The room temperature was set to a constant 26 degrees Celsius. Yan Qian stood there for a moment, observing, and guessing that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, he quietly left.
When Jiang Mingyue woke up, it was already five o'clock on Monday morning. It was still dark outside. She didn't need to run today. She had been exercising too much in the past two days and needed to take a break.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't said goodnight to Yan Qian before going to bed last night, so she quickly got up to go find him.
Yan Qian slept in the guest room diagonally opposite. The bedroom door was not locked from the inside, and Jiang Mingyue opened the door and went in.
The curtains weren't fully drawn, letting in a little light. Yan Qian was fast asleep, wearing an eye mask.
His sleeping posture was neat, his blankets were not messy, and only his cell phone and watch were placed on the bedside table, with no other clutter.
Jiang Mingyue tiptoed to the bed, kicked off her slippers, and lay down next to him.
Almost the instant Jiang Mingyue lay down, Yan Qian woke up; his biological clock always started around five in the morning.
He pulled back the covers and dragged her inside, then reached his left hand behind her neck and pulled her into his arms, asking her why she didn't sleep a little longer.
Yan Qian's voice was still a little hoarse, and Jiang Mingyue raised her hand to stroke his stubble.
"I remembered that I didn't say hello to you last night. I was afraid you would be sad, so I came to see you as soon as I woke up."
“It’s my fault. Jinghua’s new project with European clients has hit a bottleneck. There have been a lot of meetings lately. Last night, the meeting ended at midnight. I saw you were meditating, so I didn’t disturb you.”
When Jiang Mingyue heard that he was working overtime until midnight, she immediately sat up and said, "Then you can sleep a little longer, I won't disturb you."
Even if I catch an early flight back to Huai County, I won't have time to attend classes, so I'm not in a hurry anymore.
His girlfriend had already thrown herself into his arms, so Yan Qian had no reason to let her leave. He pulled her back into bed, kissed her lips, and coaxed her to sleep with him a little longer.
Jiang Mingyue woke up, but she couldn't fall back asleep.
Strangely enough, as Yan Qian gently stroked her back, she gradually became sleepy and decided to take a nap.
The two slept until eight o'clock before waking up. Before breakfast was served, Yan Qian patiently waited for Jiang Mingyue to finish brushing her teeth, and then pressed her against the wall and kissed her.
He hadn't dared to kiss her in bed before, afraid that things might go too far and scare her, making her think he was being reckless.
"Yueyue, where do I rank in your heart?"
When her fans are in trouble, she's always the first to step up, even more so than Meng Huai.
Jiang Mingyue was so stunned by Yan Qian's kiss that she took a few moments to realize what he was worried about.
She was both amused and exasperated, and teased him, "Mr. Yan, how about acting like you did when you first met me?"
His resentful tone made her feel like he was a heartless man who was cheating on her with several women.
Yan Qian rested his head against her collarbone and sighed softly, "That was the me of the past. The me of now only bows down to you."
Jiang Mingyue raised her hand and rubbed his head. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Yanqian, I have no intention of changing partners halfway through my relationship. If you work hard, I should consider marrying you when the time is right."
At first, she didn't plan to date or get married, but Yan Qian took very good care of her. He took care of all the little things in her life, so she hardly had to worry about anything and could just do what she liked.
He might be thinking about it while he's asleep, but in reality, there's no one else around.
These words were undoubtedly a reassurance. Even if she was unwilling to publicly acknowledge their relationship online now, she couldn't hide it forever on their wedding day.
Yan Qian was completely relieved. If she cared about her fans, so be it. Even if 15,888 fans came to compete with him for his favor, it didn't matter. He was willing to be last in line.
"Yueyue, thank you."
Thank you for choosing him and giving him the opportunity to fulfill his dream.
Jiang Mingyue understood his unspoken words and obediently let him hold her, saying, "Thank you for taking such good care of me."
At nine o'clock, Yan Qian and Jiang Mingyue checked out of the Jinghua Hotel and took a car straight to Nanyuan Airport.
Their flight arrived in Fengshi at 12:30 pm, and after three hours, they took a car back to Huai County.
While waiting in the airport VIP lounge, Ping An Nanyuan issued a police notice.
The gist is that a traffic accident occurred on Yuanjiang Bridge last night. Thanks to the help of Ms. Jiang and her friends, a car full of Yuanjiang University students were rescued in time.
There were no casualties, and a police report from a small town wouldn't have gone viral. The main issue was that the seven characters "Ms. Jiang, a concerned citizen" were automatically identified by the system as related to Jiang Mingyue.
In addition, Yuanjiang University student Zhao Xiaotian posted a photo of himself with Jiang Mingyue in the comments section and left a message thanking Sister Jiang for saving his life, which instantly pushed this announcement to the top of the trending searches.
[Ms. Jiang, a kind-hearted citizen]
[Police Notice for Ping An Nanyuan]
These two trending search terms took the top two spots, respectively.
A group of netizens and Jiang's fans clicked in, and then left with envy and jealousy.
Hmph, I'm not saying who's being jealous.
【Great! Sister Jiang is in Nanyuan. I just got back from a business trip the day before, so I completely missed her, boohoo!】
[Zhao Xiaotian, right? I'll remember you.]
[Which toothpaste is Xiao Zhao using? His teeth are so white, send me the link!]
[Netizens I'll connect with for life]
[The students at Yuanjiang University are so lucky. If they hadn't met Sister Jiang, today would have been an obituary.]
[From now on, simply change the title to "Helpful Citizen Sister Jiang"]
Jiang Mingyue's appearance in Nanyuan, and her excellent condition when taking photos with Yuanjiang University students, was like a shot in the arm for all her fans.
Sister Jiang is back from Kebang!
For the past two days, fans of ginger have been paying close attention to official news.
The news report mentioned that the abandoned factory experimental base in Kebang Miller Mountain has been found, two Chinese nationals have been successfully rescued, and Bai Sang and others have all been arrested. In addition, a murderer was also caught in a nearby village.
However, Jiang Mingyue was not mentioned at all.
Jiang's fans knew this was a protection measure taken by the authorities for Jiang Jie, and now that they have heard news of her in person, they are overjoyed, as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Of course, some people focused on the flower wreath on Sister Jiang's head and guessed that Sister Jiang had gone to Nanyuan Ancient City, where there is a local old lady who loves to weave flower wreaths with fresh flowers.
[I never expected Sister Jiang to visit the ancient city!]
[That's true, no matter how capable Sister Jiang is, she's still a young woman who loves beauty.]
I feel like Sister Jiang has become gentler.
[Perhaps the night view of Nanyuan made Sister Jiang appear gentler.]
Could they be in a relationship?
[Impossible! Sister Jiang is either rescuing people or on her way to rescue people, how could she have time for romance?!]
It's okay if she's in a relationship; we like Sister Jiang as a person.
In the VIP room, Jiang Mingyue was wearing a black floral dress with a purple shawl over it. She was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and her long hair was loose. She was sitting on the sofa holding a newspaper.
Outsiders would only think she was an ordinary passenger, and it would be hard to imagine that she was the famous Sister Jiang.
Yan Qian sat next to her, handling work on his phone while also taking care of her.
Seeing that she had finished her soy milk, Yan Qian asked, "Would you like another cup?"
"Need not."
Jiang Mingyue put down the newspaper, got up and walked around. There was still more than half an hour before boarding.
Yan Qian told her not to go too far, and to remember to use his card if she wanted to buy anything. He had given her a black gold supplementary card that morning, with no limit on the credit limit for the day.
Jiang Mingyue didn't hesitate and accepted the money directly. However, whether she swiped the card or not was her own business. She couldn't very well spend his card to buy a bag or hair tie online.
She teased him, saying he was rich and arrogant and only knew how to shower her with money.
Yan Qian's expression at that moment was quite intriguing, and even though he didn't say it outright, Jiang Mingyue instantly understood.
After all, the two were intimately close when they kissed, and she could truly feel his passion.
After leaving the VIP lounge, Jiang Mingyue didn't go far. She just browsed the shops downstairs and bought a bag of candied fruit.
On her way back, she was approached by a middle-aged man who asked her where she bought the candied fruit she was holding.
The middle-aged man was around forty years old, dressed in designer brands, in good shape, with a decent appearance, and exuded an air of the elite.
If this were a girl trying to hook up with a rich man, she would probably use the topic of candied fruit to start a conversation with him.
Unfortunately, this person encountered Jiang Mingyue.
She simply said "downstairs" and walked past the other person up the stairs.
Middle-aged men have seen too many women who appear aloof on the surface but are actually unrestrained and dissolute inside.
She's only so aloof because she hasn't seen any benefits yet. Once she experiences the allure of money, she'll be groveling at his feet.
"Madam, would I have the honor of inviting you for a cup of coffee?"
When Jiang Mingyue saw this man following her, she stamped her foot and sneered. What an arrogant man with no sense of propriety.
She ignored him and quickened her pace toward the private VIP lounge.
Upon seeing that the young woman was in the same VIP room as him, the middle-aged man immediately beamed with joy and chased after her.
The middle-aged man suddenly stopped in his tracks, because a bodyguard stepped forward and separated him from the young woman.
Old He stared at the middle-aged man with a stern expression and a wary look. "Sir, please be mindful of your behavior."
The middle-aged man wasn't stupid; upon seeing the burly and robust Old He, he realized he had misjudged the young beauty—she was no ordinary person.
"Sorry, sorry." He moved aside and went to another spot.
When Yan Qian saw Jiang Mingyue enter with a frosty expression, his expression changed, and he immediately stood up to greet her, "Yueyue, did someone bully you?"
Old He, who followed them in, explained, "A middle-aged man tried to flirt with Ms. Jiang in the VIP room, but I chased him away."
Yan Qian knew Jiang Mingyue well; she wouldn't take these people seriously at all, there must be other reasons behind it.
As expected, Jiang Mingyue immediately dropped a bombshell: "Yan Qian, let's change our tickets now and take the 2 PM flight to Shuicheng."
Yan Qian raised an eyebrow, but did not ask any further questions. He immediately notified his assistant to change the flight tickets.
After successfully changing his flight ticket, Yan Qian finally had time to ask for details about the reason.
"Was that guy who tried to hit on you earlier on the same flight as us?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded, "I see from his face today that he will suffer financial loss to avert disaster, so I changed the tickets. Let's not let his bad luck affect our trip."
Hearing her say that, Yan Qian knew that there wouldn't be any major problems with the plane, and it would most likely take off halfway and then turn back.
"Do you want to tell the other passengers?"
Jiang Mingyue shook her head, "Speaking about it would cause panic, and others might not believe it anyway. Besides, it won't cause any major problems."
"Okay, we have plenty of time now, let me take you for a massage."
Yan Qian took Jiang Mingyue's hand and led her out of the VIP room, away from that clueless, unlucky guy.
China Airlines crew members were notified that two passengers each from first class and business class had been rebooked, including Yan Qian and Jiang Mingyue, the two VIPs in first class.
With less than twenty minutes until boarding, the two distinguished guests changed their tickets at the last minute, making one wonder if something had gone wrong.
After all, Jiang Mingyue has a good reputation, and netizens say she never talks nonsense.
Some of the flight attendants were fans of Jiang Mingyue, so Xiaomei called the staff on duty in the VIP lounge to inquire if anything had happened there.
The staff on duty answered truthfully, "A gentleman who also flew to Fengshi probably tried to strike up a conversation with Ms. Jiang and angered her. Ms. Jiang asked Mr. Yan to change his flight."
Flight attendant Xiao Mei was puzzled. Sister Jiang wasn't that kind of person; she would never change her flight just because someone tried to strike up a conversation with her.
"Do you know who this person is? If China Airlines' reputation is tarnished because of someone like this, I will report it immediately."
"Please wait a moment... The other party's name is Zhang Qiang."
Xiao Mei first submitted the relevant information to the team leader, who then reported it up the chain of command to the chief flight attendant, who in turn reported it to the captain.
The captain reminded them to keep an eye on the passenger named Zhang Qiang when other passengers boarded, and to promptly dissuade him if he made any inappropriate moves.
Nevertheless, Xiaomei was still a little uneasy, as her right eyelid kept twitching.
She silently reassured herself, "It's alright, it's alright. It's just that Sister Jiang is a little nervous."
More than half an hour later, all the passengers had boarded, and Zhang Qiang was also sitting in the business class, chatting and laughing with the unfamiliar lady next to him.
Xiao Mei secretly glanced at him a few more times.
Twenty minutes into the flight, which had been peaceful, an explosion occurred in the overhead bins of the business class cabin, followed by a burst of flames.
The thick smoke was pungent.
The business class passengers screamed in fright and jumped up to run back, startling the first class passengers in front and the economy class passengers behind.
Xiao Mei, who had been secretly watching this place, felt her heart sink.
She knew her right eye wouldn't twitch for no reason; it turned out this was what was going on!
Waaah, Sister Jiang, you could have just told us why you changed your ticket. Whether we believe you or not is none of your concern.
China Airlines' flight attendants were well-trained and signaled everyone to remain calm and follow standard firefighting procedures.
The flight attendant immediately called the captain, and with everyone working together, the fire was successfully extinguished. The plane was then instructed to make an emergency landing at the nearest backup airport in Sichuan.
The incident of China Airlines flight HU7395, flying from Nanyuan to Fengshi, catching fire in its overhead luggage compartment and being forced to make an emergency landing at Chuancheng Airport, quickly became a trending topic.
Many economy class passengers filmed the incident.
When netizens clicked in, they found it was another incident related to exploding lithium battery power banks. They passionately criticized the relevant departments for their inaction and demanded that power banks be strictly prohibited from being taken on airplanes.
This is not the first time this has happened this year; we hope relevant departments will step in to rectify the industry's chaotic practices.
[A fire broke out in the overhead luggage compartment of a business class cabin; this passenger was wealthy enough to afford the compensation.]
The exact compensation details are unclear, but this person will likely be refused flights by China Airlines.
[Holy crap, could Sister Jiang be on this plane?]
Sister, I'm in economy class on this plane, and I'm sure Sister Jiang isn't here.
Oh, that's good.
The person upstairs knows how to rub salt into netizens' wounds.
At 5 p.m., Jiang Mingyue and Yan Qian landed in the Water City.
The trending topic on Weibo about the fire in the overhead luggage compartment of China Airlines flight HU7395 has dropped to number ten, but her famous quote has surged to number one.
Sister Jiang never talks nonsense.
The incident began when a flight attendant revealed that a business class passenger had forcibly approached Ms. Jiang in the waiting room. Ms. Jiang changed her flight at the last minute, and coincidentally, it was this passenger's power bank that exploded, causing the fire.
Don't you know that Sister Jiang is familiar with the I Ching and Bagua? If I were on the same flight as Sister Jiang, and she changed her ticket, I would definitely change mine too.
[I was terrified! I even thought about what my last words would be! I'm going to follow Jiang Mingyue!]
Sister Jiang is just too well-rounded.
This guy deserves his bad luck; he actually dared to hit on Sister Jiang.
Why didn't Sister Jiang give the flight crew a warning beforehand?
Sister, are you crazy?! You expect people to believe things that haven't even happened?!
Yes, if it's really important, Sister Jiang will definitely step in.
There is no high-speed rail from Shuicheng directly to Huai County; you have to transfer there, so it's more convenient to drive back.
Yan Qian had already arranged for a vehicle to pick her up; it was the SUV he had bought for Jiang Mingyue.
The assistant drove, and the bodyguard sat in the passenger seat as usual. None of the four were hungry, so they decided to go straight back to Biyue Mansion for dinner.
It was already 9 p.m. when they returned to Biyue Garden. Yan Qian had dinner with Jiang Mingyue and then took her upstairs to look at clothes.
Her bedroom closet was filled with clothes from summer and autumn, with the tags still on. The clothes were mostly light-colored, but there were also some bright ones.
Yan Qian also prepared a dressing table for her, complete with necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
"Take a look and see what's missing. Make a list for me and I'll get it for you."
Jiang Mingyue hadn't expected that she wouldn't need these jewelry pieces for the time being. "Let's leave it at that for now, and we'll think of something else later."
"Okay, are you going back to the village tonight?"
"It's too late, I'll stay here. You can take me to the Shao family compound tomorrow morning."
Starting tomorrow, Jiang Mingyue will be very busy and will most likely be in seclusion preparing for her work. She may not be able to meet with Yan Qian every day, so stay here tonight for a proper date with him.
Yan Qian felt that her smile was abnormal and vaguely guessed that she would be very busy in the future, so this was her way of making up for it in advance.
