Chapter 285: Another Nobody

“Yes, yes, Mr. Xu. Please calm down. I’ll handle it right away, immediately.”

The co-pilot was startled and quickly responded with sincere fear.

The others who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of amusement.

To have the co-pilot accompany someone on board and show such deference, it was clear that Xu Shaochen’s identity was anything but ordinary.

This foolish woman… How dare she take such a seat and even offer money. Isn’t that an insult? “Madam, if you don’t get up, we’ll have to take forceful measures.”

The co-pilot looked at the middle-aged woman coldly and spoke. If she refused to give up the seat, he would have to step down from his position. He was well aware of which option carried more weight.

Meanwhile, several male flight attendants also approached, waiting for the co-pilot’s instructions.

“I won’t move, so what? Do you know who my husband is? If you dare touch me, he won’t spare you!”

Seeing the situation, the woman felt somewhat insecure, but she stubbornly kept a tough stance, unwilling to lose face.

Although she had already completely embarrassed herself, she remained oblivious to it.

“Drag her out and take her back to her original seat.”

The co-pilot said coldly. Damn, giving her face was useless. She wouldn’t listen to reason and forced his hand, leaving everyone in an awkward position.

Upon hearing this, the male flight attendants moved forward without saying a word and began enforcing their actions.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! Let go! Help! Impropriety!”

The woman started shouting and struggling like a shrew, her wavy hair flailing wildly like untamed weeds, showing no sign of an upper-class demeanor.

“I’m telling you, you little bastard! Just you wait! You’d better not get off the plane or you’re dead!”

She glared venomously at Xu Shaochen, spitting out a harsh threat before being dragged out of first class.

“That’s the way to deal with people like that! Otherwise, you’re just encouraging their arrogance.”

“Exactly! In recent years, I’ve heard of seat hogging on trains, high-speed trains, and buses, but this is the first time I’ve seen it on a plane.”

“She looked like a respectable person. How could she stoop to such disgraceful behavior?”

A group of passengers chatted away, generally feeling a sense of satisfaction.

“Mr. Xu, I’m so sorry. On behalf of this flight, I offer you our sincerest apologies.”

The co-pilot cautiously apologized to Xu Shaochen, knowing this was the airline’s responsibility.

Xu Shaochen ignored him, sat down without a word, and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

Had he not been firm just now, this foolish co-pilot might have hesitated for who knows how long before taking action.

This was, after all, the airline’s responsibility, yet they were indecisive.

Xu Shaochen held no goodwill towards him. To put it bluntly, someone like this was destined to live a mediocre life—lacking decisiveness, unable to distinguish between important and trivial matters, and unable to seize opportunities.

Even if he offended that shrewish woman, did he think I wouldn’t back him up? Would I forget this favor?

To be honest, given Xu Shaochen’s current status, a single word from him could have the co-pilot promoted to captain.

But this fool missed an opportunity to leave a good impression.

Seeing Xu Shaochen ignore him, the co-pilot’s face alternated between pale and flushed. He stood there, unsure whether to advance or retreat, clearly embarrassed.

In truth, he regretted it deeply, berating himself for his earlier hesitation.

Opportunities like this are rare and precious, but he failed to seize it.

“Mr. Xu, I’ll be going now.”

After saying this, the co-pilot left, feeling too ashamed to stay and risk irritating Xu Shaochen.

First class offered the utmost luxury, though it certainly couldn’t compare to a private jet.

As a wealthy person, how could one not own their own yacht and plane?

Xu Shaochen’s thoughts began to stir.

Buying a private jet and hiring a group of high-quality stewardesses to serve him sounded incredibly appealing.

Putting these thoughts aside for now, Xu Shaochen took out his phone.

Compared to a few years ago, phones could now be used on planes. This was a welcome improvement.

“Ding~”

Suddenly, a message popped up. It was from Liu Rushuang. Her seat was a bit far from his, so they couldn’t communicate directly.

Raising one’s voice too much would disturb others. Even if others didn’t complain, basic courtesy was still important.

The message said that the company’s vice president had informed her that the demolition notice for the land they had acquired had officially been issued. Representatives from the city government had approached the company to discuss compensation.

Xu Shaochen replied: Let her represent the company in negotiations. The price must not be lower than the market rate. Try to secure as much profit as possible.

Negotiations like this aren’t settled in one or two rounds, especially with over a hundred houses involved. The compensation is no small sum.

Liu Rushuang replied with a confirmation, and then Xu Shaochen put his phone away and went to sleep.

He had stayed up late last night and got up at eight in the morning, so he was inevitably a bit tired.

Three hours later…

The plane landed at Jiangzhou Airport.

Xu Shaochen, Liu Rushuang, and Mei Liang disembarked. Long Yi and Long Er were still driving back on the highway and were expected to arrive in the evening.

“Husband, it’s him! He’s the one who bullied me! You must take revenge! I want him to suffer!”

The three had just left the airport when they were intercepted by a group of people.

Among them was the shrew from the plane, now accompanied by a middle-aged man in sunglasses and a black short-sleeved shirt.

“Kid! How dare you bully my wife? Have you lived long enough? Seeking death, are you?”

The middle-aged man took off his sunglasses, walked up to Xu Shaochen, and arrogantly poked him in the chest.

The men he brought with him had already surrounded Xu Shaochen and the other two.

“You ungrateful brat! Weren’t you tough just now? Try being arrogant again! I’ll make sure you don’t even know how you died.”

The middle-aged woman looked at Xu Shaochen with malicious glee, her eyes filled with venom as she gritted her teeth.

Xu Shaochen glanced at the middle-aged man, shook his head, and sighed. Another insignificant nobody, unworthy of knowing who I am.

No exaggeration, in Jiangzhou, every significant figure wouldn’t dare act brazenly in front of him.

“Kid, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf? Do you need me to fix that for you?”

Seeing that Xu Shaochen was ignoring him and shaking his head, the middle-aged man felt humiliated and disrespected. His rage exploded as he shoved Xu Shaochen’s shoulder.
