Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 341:
Chapter 341: Chapter 341: 5 Planes Are Coming, Yes! 5 Planes! (First Update)
“My lord, when do you plan to go?”
“In five days,” Xue An said indifferently.
In five days?
Song Yi pondered for a long time and found nothing special about that day, but since his lord had said so, he would follow the lord’s orders.
And what the lord said was right; wherever he was, surely all evils would disperse and all blessings would gather.
There was no need to pick a special day.
What Song Yi didn’t know was this.
The reason Xue An chose five days later was that it happened to be An Yan’s birthday.
Xue An still remembered the first birthday he had spent with An Yan.
At that time, Xue An’s life was very difficult, but even so, he did not hesitate to buy a cake and take it home.
The two were happily eating the cake when suddenly the power went out.
Outside, there was a sea of lights, but inside, it was pitch black.
An Yan, however, lit a candle cheerfully and said it was the best candlelight dinner.
Thinking back now, Xue An could still recall that bittersweet moment.
Back then, Xue An swore that he would make it up to An Yan a thousand times over.
This was also why Xue An now spared no effort in ensuring everything about the wedding was perfect.
He didn’t care about anything else; he only wanted to give An Yan the best.
As the news of the wedding in five days spread, Qin Yu became even busier.
She had to prepare various things within five days.
But there were some difficulties that she still had to consult Xue An about.
“Sir, I just estimated that if we go to Zhongdu to fetch the bride on the day, it will take several hours at the very least, which means a whole day back and forth, and that’s if there are no accidents on the road. If there’s a traffic jam, it would cause even more delay!”
Qin Yu’s concern was very real, and it wasn’t a matter of if there would be traffic congestion but rather, there definitely would be.
Xue An nodded upon hearing this, “I’ve thought about this problem.”
“Then what do you plan to do, sir?” Qin Yu was somewhat anxious.
Xue An smiled, “The news will come soon; this is not a problem. What’s the next issue?”
Qin Yu nodded. Since the sir said it was not a problem, then there definitely wouldn’t be an issue.
“Also, this is the menu for the wedding day that I and a few chefs have drafted. What do you think, sir?”
Xue An took the album and flipped through it briefly, then slightly frowned.
“The dishes are all fine, and the grade is high enough, but why are there question marks at the end?”
Qin Yu said with a wry smile, “I didn’t expect the sir’s wedding to stir up such a sensation. As of now, there are already over a thousand guests in Beijiang, but the ingredients required for these dishes are mostly deep-sea seafood, which is very rare.”
“Moreover, I’ve just inquired in all the major markets in Beijiang and the province; none can supply such a large quantity, and no amount of money will suffice.”
Mentioning this matter left Qin Yu extremely vexed.
Indeed, as she said, these past few days she had contacted almost every market; even raising the price tenfold, there was still no one who could supply such a large quantity.
The major seafood suppliers made it clear: who wouldn’t want to earn money if they could? But the key point was that some seafoods were inherently very rare and hard to catch. It was fine for a rarity, but as the main dish, it was simply not feasible.
After listening, Xue An was slightly taken aback; this was indeed a problem.
“Just leave it here for now, I’ll figure something out!”
“Yes!”
After Qin Yu left, Xue An looked at the seafood needed on the menu, his gaze flickering with an indecipherable thought.
At this moment, in the rear garden of the Number One Tian Villa.
Griffin dialed an overseas call.
“Mr. Griffin, is there anything I can help you with?” a mature and composed voice came from the other end of the line.
Griffin chuckled, “Charles, how’s business been lately?”
“It’s been absolutely terrible! The economy is bad, and the rich would rather fly first class than order private jets now,” Charles began to complain.
The Charles on the phone with Griffin was a leading aircraft manufacturer in M Country.
However, he didn’t make commercial planes, only private jets.
And he had made a fortune in the preceding years when the economic conditions were favorable.
So, Griffin just chuckled upon hearing this, “Well, even if you’re not making money now, what you’ve saved up in the past is enough to last you ten lifetimes.”
Charles was an extremely shrewd businessman. Thinking Griffin was about to ask for a loan, he hurriedly started to plead poverty.
In his mind, this Bone Picker from the City of Sin, though now starting to take a legitimate path, would be just like a bank robbery if he really opened his mouth to borrow money; there was no hope of getting it back.
Griffin could obviously tell, and he frowned slightly, “Enough, I’m not calling to borrow money! On the contrary, I have a big deal for you. Are you interested or not?”
“A big deal?” Charles showed a hint of interest.
“Yes, a big deal from Huaxia.”
“Huaxia? Don’t joke with me. The rich there are more keen on buying yachts; few go for private planes, and even if they do, they just buy some outdated models to show off,” Charles said dismissively.
Griffin spoke calmly, “This time is different. My boss wants to buy five private jets, and they all have to be of the newest model with the highest specifications!”
“What? Five jets?” Charles, who had been leisurely sipping coffee, jerked in surprise, spilling it all over himself.
But he didn’t care about the custom-made suit worth tens of thousands of US dollars; his eyes gleamed with greed as he said in a heavy tone, “Griffin, are you serious?”
“Absolutely! But there’s a condition!”
“Please, go on!” Charles immediately spread open his notebook, listening attentively.
This was an order for five jets, after all!
You see, back in the days of his thriving business, he sold only seven or eight jets a year.
This single order was enough to feed him for three years.
“My boss demands that they be delivered to Huaxia within five days,” Griffin said calmly.
Charles, who had been full of joy, stiffened, and after a good while, he said somewhat angrily, “Griffin, these are five private jets, not five potatoes. Delivering them to Huaxia in five days—is this a joke to you?”
Griffin seemed to have anticipated such a reaction, so he moved the phone away from his ear a bit and waited for Charles to finish his rant before replying calmly.
“Charles, after being given this task by my boss, I didn’t contact anyone else. You were the first person I called.”
“Well, I should thank you for that! My friend,” Charles said with some sarcasm, ready to hang up the phone.
But what Griffin said next made him pause.
“The boss said, if delivered within five days, the price will be raised by thirty percent! And if you can deliver a day early, the price could double, with no ceiling!”
Griffin’s words seemed to hold a sort of magic, as Charles felt his vision filling with stacks of US currency.
“Unfortunately, it now seems my dear Charles doesn’t like this deal, so I’ll have to find someone else. I think there will definitely be people interested,” Griffin said indifferently.
