"Su Chen, Qin Fen and I are getting ready to head to Macau for an event. Want to come with us and hang out for a few days?"
After two days of fun in Yangcheng City, Ye Feng had to return to his company to handle matters related to a five billion US Dollar trade contract he had just signed.
Besides, there wasn’t much else to do in Yangcheng City, so Su Chen and his friends were planning on leaving.
They had already sampled all the local delicacies and snacks. Su Chen had even visited the famous Canton Tower and taken a ride on its high-altitude Ferris wheel, bringing their trip to Yangcheng City to a perfect close.
Su Chen waved his hand. "I’ll skip Macau. I’m planning a trip to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area. I have some things to take care of over there."
Before flying to Yangcheng City for their vacation, Su Chen had sent Jiang Hui to Suzhou.
For one, he wanted to see what the Suzhou Gardens property he’d gotten from a blind box was actually like, and also to take in the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water towns.
Second, he needed to complete a task his mother had given him over the New Year: to visit his eldest and third maternal uncles’ families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, see how they were doing, and help them out if he could.
Of course, that was assuming they were worth his help. After all, his experience at his maternal grandmother’s home had taught him the true meaning of ’family harmony,’ so to speak, and made him much more cautious.
Sicong nodded and didn’t press the issue. "So, how are you planning to get to Suzhou? I don’t think they have an airport. You’d have to fly into Shanghai and drive from there."
"Huh? Suzhou doesn’t have an airport?" Su Chen was dumbfounded. He remembered Suzhou as one of the most developed major cities in the country; he never would have imagined a place like that didn’t have an airport.
"Nope, no airport. The reasons are... complicated and would take too long to explain. If you want to fly, I can arrange a private jet to take you to Shanghai."
’The thirteen cities of Jiangsu are famously rebellious, and none of them bow to the others. It’s an even tougher situation for Jinling, the supposed provincial capital.’
’There’s a running joke online that Jinling is actually the capital of Anhui province. After all, what other city’s metro line runs right up to the border of another province’s capital?’
Su Chen thought for a moment. "Never mind, I’ll just take the high-speed train."
The moment he said it, he saw Sicong looking at him with a teasing grin. Su Chen immediately had a bad feeling and blurted out, "Don’t tell me there’s no direct high-speed train from Yangcheng City to Suzhou, either."
Sicong grinned and nodded. "Hahaha! You got it. There’s only a regular express train, and if you check the time... it already departed over half an hour ago."
Su Chen shook his head in exasperation. "Man, Suzhou really has it rough. No airport is one thing, but not even a direct high-speed train line? How is that possible!"
After a brief discussion, they decided Su Chen would take Sicong’s private jet directly to Shanghai.
