Qin Zhen felt like he was being manipulated, but since a super-rich billionaire expressed his willingness to invest, Qin Zhen couldn’t easily refuse.
Qin Zhen could only say that he didn’t have the authority to decide and that he needed to report it and wait for a response from higher-ups.
Flas was quite understanding and with a smile said to report to his superiors as soon as possible, but insisted on getting a clear answer before tonight. He couldn’t stay here for long.
Qin Zhen had no choice but to quickly excuse himself and leave with Chen Feng. After returning to his room, he imdiately made an international call to report the situation to his superiors.
This kind of situation was quite special; truly speaking, he could ignore it, as even though he was a public official, he was not responsible for attracting investnt.
But Flas’s identity was special, as he was an internationally known billionaire. If he truly wanted to invest in their Xiu Zhou, it would doubtlessly bring significant celebrity effect to both Xiu Zhou and the Rabbit Country.
Therefore, with public interest in mind, he at least had to report it to his superiors.
Chen Feng wasn’t affected much by this from beginning to end; what mattered was Qin Zhen’s attitude. Chen Feng was just incidental.
Qin Zhen reported to his superiors and now waited for their decision.
However, it was uncertain when the superiors would respond. If it took two or three days, Qin Zhen, the ssenger, might have to stay here for a while.
Consequently, Chen Feng naturally couldn’t go back alone since Qin Zhen ca this ti partly because of him and even at so risk to his life.
Fortunately, the senior leadership didn’t keep them waiting long. Just over two hours later, they sent a clear reply to Qin Zhen, granting Flas’s request.
In Chen Feng’s view, Flas’s promise of at least 200,000 pounds in investnt was not a big deal, amounting to only 17 or 18 million in their dostic currency.
Of course, dostically, they might be more focused on Flas’s identity and reputation than the specific investnt amount.
Qin Zhen strictly followed orders and quickly contacted Flas to explain the situation.
Flas wasted no ti booking flights for his daughter and the accompanying staff, practically buying all the remaining seats on the next flight due to ti constraints.
Chen Feng and Qin Zhen’s flight was scheduled for 9:30 PM local ti, conveniently the sa flight as Vivian’s.
Anna agreed with Vivian to go to the airport together by then.
To be honest, Chen Feng didn’t really want to travel with Vivian, because she was attacked twice yesterday, and who knew if it would happen again today? In fact, he was reluctant to be on the sa flight with her.
If danger were to arise on the plane, it would indeed be a life-and-death situation.
However, Flas had already issued an invitation for them to ride with his motorcade to the airport, which Qin Zhen couldn’t refuse, and neither could Chen Feng.
Of course, the main reason was that Chen Feng didn’t feel any danger, otherwise he would never agree to go to the airport with Vivian.
Around 5 PM, Flas invited them to dinner, and the two didn’t decline, as there was no reason not to take a free al.
The dinner was held at the hotel’s top-floor private restaurant as before, with dishes even more sumptuous than those Vivian treated them to the previous day.
During dinner, Flas didn’t talk much but shared a few interesting business stories and asked so questions about their Rabbit Country.
Overall, they had an enjoyable al.
After dinner, it was past six, and they started to prepare their luggage, then went downstairs to et up.
Around 7:30 PM, they finally t up with Vivian and her group in the lobby downstairs.
Flas didn’t see his daughter to the airport but said goodbye to her at the hotel entrance.
At this ti, there were quite a few ard police on duty at the hotel entrance, along with several police cars parked, and Flas was accompanied by no less than ten bodyguards.
Under such security asures, those paid troublemakers dared not act recklessly, as it would be like walking into certain death.
Vivian was accompanied by four bodyguards, two of whom were female.
Anna, along with her and two bodyguards, sat in a bulletproof rcedes, while Chen Feng and Qin Zhen took an Audi.
In addition, there were police cars escorting them in the front and back.
If Vivian were to be attacked in such a situation, it could only an the attackers were utterly insane.
The four-car convoy set off towards the airport, and although it caused so anxiety, they eventually arrived safely at the airport.
Everyone, who had been sowhat tense throughout the journey, breathed a sigh of relief.
At the airport, Chen Feng and Qin Zhen took the opportunity before boarding to buy a lot from the duty-free shops, planning to take them back ho as gifts.
Chen Feng mainly bought costics and chocolate, which were relatively cheap here.
Qin Zhen followed suit, though he bought considerably less than Chen Feng.
Then, they encountered several fellow Sichuanese-speaking countryn in the duty-free shop, including two middle-aged couples in their fifties or sixties, and two won in their twenties, evidently two families together.
Seeing his fellow countryn, Qin Zhen struck up a conversation: "Hello, are you here on vacation too?"
If this were back in the country, a sudden approach by strangers might trigger alertness, but being abroad, it felt like eting an old friend in a foreign land. Plus, Qin Zhen’s thick eyebrows and righteous appearance naturally inspired trust.
Moreover, Qin Zhen was a textbook handso guy.
Therefore, one young woman cheerfully responded, "Yes, we’ve been here on vacation for about a week and plan to return ho today. Did you just arrive, or are you heading back too?"
Qin Zhen couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, "It’s quite a coincidence; I’m also heading back tonight on the 9:30 flight. Are you on the sa flight?"
The young woman was also delighted and said, "Yes, quite the coincidence. We’re on the sa flight. How many days have you been here?"
Qin Zhen naturally replied, "I mainly ca here for work, just played around for two or three days."
"Are you here on business? What do you do? Oh, sorry, I’m Pei Lei, a designer. How should I address you?"
The woman nad Pei Lei extended her hand to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen didn’t hesitate and reached out to shake her hand, smiling as he said, "I’m Qin Zhen, a police officer."
"Ah, you’re a police officer?" Pei Lei looked surprised, as did the others, who glanced at Qin Zhen with so astonishnt.
"Yes, a bona fide police officer," Qin Zhen replied, changing the topic, "You must all be from Sichuan Province, why did you decide to travel here? This place isn’t known for its good security."
Pei Lei quickly said, "The security here isn’t bad. We haven’t encountered any issues these past few days. Of course, it might be because we have many people and are quite cautious. However, I find the locals here very warm and hospitable, and the scenery is great too."
