The flight time from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill took less than two hours.
It was only ten o'clock in the morning when the plane landed in Aurous Hill.
Charlie knew that Claire would definitely not be at home and so, he did not have any intention to go home immediately. Instead, he got Isaac's subordinate to send Helen back to the old mansion where his parents used to live before he headed to Shangri-La with Isaac and Albert.
Shangri-La seemed to be a lot quieter compared to how it was before, which was a big contrast to the scene where Shangri-La had always been crowded.
Charlie came to Isaac's office and after sitting down, h e asked Isaac, "By the way, Mr. Cameron, why does it seem as though Shangri-La is not as lively today as it used to be? I’ve been here so many times before, and it seems as though today is the quietest day."
Isaac said helplessly, "I heard from some of my subordinates that this is not only the case today. In fact, there has been a substantial decline in the business of Shangri-La over the past few days. Before this, many companies had signed a hospitality agreement with us to place our hotel as their fixed business hospitality hotel, but after Ten Thousand Armies released word that they were heading up to
Mount Wintry, all these businesses then terminated their collaboration with us."
After that, Isaac continued, “After you subdued Ten Thousand Armies and claimed that the Wade family had compromised and given in to Ten Thousand Armies, the news that the Wade family had been conquered by Ten Thousand Armies has been spreading rapidly in the business market over the past two days. Therefore, Shangri-La’s business has also plummeted greatly."
After pausing for a moment, Isaac then explained, "In fact, more than half of our five-star hotel's business relies greatly on public collaborations. Some are collaborations with travel agents, and on the other hand, we also have those collaborations with companies who have business entertainment and meeting needs. There are actually not that many individual customers or tourists who would stay in five-star hotels when they travel. Since many of those companies have drawn a clear line with Shangri-La now, it is only natural that Shangri-La looks very deserted and quiet."
After listening to Isaac, Charlie could not help but laugh and say, "These companies are really realistic... They have to break the contract even for such a small collaboration. The contractual spirit is really lacking for this group of people."
Isaac nodded and said, "Master Wade, you might not know this..."
Charlie raised his hand and interrupted Isaac as he said seriously, "Mr. Cameron, it feels very strange when you refer to me as Master Wade. It’s just like how I felt out of place when Albert referred to me as Young Master. So, why don't you call me Young Master instead? I've already known you for so long, and you have always referred to me as Young Master. I've already gotten used to it."
Isaac laughed and said, "Young Master, to be honest with you, it is also really a little awkward for me to call you Master Wade too..."
