nAfter they settled down at the hotel, they still had plenty of time.

nSince Han Zhan woke up early this morning, he didn’t have the time to workout. After reaching the hotel, he went to the rooftop swimming pool alone to swim.

n

n

nAt that time, there were only a few people at the hotel, and he was alone at the rooftop swimming pool.

nAfter half an hour, Li Li came up to look for him.

nGlancing at Han Zhan swimming in the pool with a graceful and fit stance, Li Li didn’t interrupt.

nHan Zhan looked slim, and his muscles were only visible whenever he had no clothes on. Unlike aesthetic muscles conscientiously made in the gym, Han Zhan’s muscles were taut and firm. Although he didn’t look burly, all his muscles hid amazing strength.

n

n

nOnly when Han Zhan’s head popped out of the water, and after he ran his fingers through his short hair, did Li Li speak up. “Mr. Han, it’s time to get up and go for lunch.”

nHan Zhan supported himself on the railing. He then emerged out of the water, draped a towel around his waist, and walked towards the changing room, passing by Li Li.

nLi Li had already grown indifferent towards the scars on Han Zhan’s body.

nHan Zhan got changed and walked out.

n

n

nThe two of them walked side by side towards the room downstairs. Han Zhan asked Li Li, “What’s the arrangement after this?”

nLi Li answered, “Our meeting with Mr. Long from KT Consortium is at 3:30 P.M. We’ll have our lunch first, have a half an hour break, and then set off.”

nHearing this, Han Zhan nodded before asking Li Li, “What’s for lunch?”

nLi Li pressed the lift button and said formally, “I heard about a popular dish here in Shunchen called hairy crabs, so I made a reservation at a restaurant nearby. If we go over now, we’ll be just in time for them to finish preparing the hairy crabs.”

nHan Zhan wasn’t picky about food, and it was Li Li who always made the food and beverage arrangements on all of his work trips—there was no exception this time.

n“Lead the way.”

n

n

nTen minutes later, Han Zhan and Li Li reached the restaurant.

nThe hairy crab restaurant’s layout was slightly like that of a theater—the seats on the second level had a view of the first level.

nLi Li had reserved seats on the second level.

nLi Li had planned the time very precisely. Once they got seated, the restaurant served the hairy crabs.

nA waiter was stationed beside them to help shell their crabs with pliers. Han Zhan took a bite of crab roe, glanced down at the hall, and saw a familiar figure at the first level.

nHan Zhan squinted. It was… Song Ci?

nSince her style of dressing was a stark contrast from that morning, Han Zhan almost thought he saw the wrong person.

nHe stared at her and confirmed that she was indeed Song Ci.

n

n

nSong Ci had worn a blouse and a suit earlier in the morning, but she dressed down for the afternoon. She wore a pink, sleeveless dress that revealed her lotus-like, clean, and well-proportioned arm. She had let down her long, curly hair that hid beneath her hat earlier.

nHer hair rested neatly behind her shoulders, exposing a porcelain pretty face that was majestic and seductive at the same time. Somehow, it made her look beautiful in a contradictory way.

nSong Ci’s dress was very short, but her heels were very high. Her legs that rested under the table were long and slender.

nHan Zhan’s impression of a mermaid’s tail transforming into legs from fairy tales was like those legs of Song Ci.

nExtremely beautiful.

nNumerous people were stealing glances at her within the restaurant hall. However, Song Ci was oblivious as she took selfies with her phone, changing her poses non-stop and striking signs with her left hand that Han Zhan didn’t recognize.

nRetracting his gaze, Han Zhan stared at Li Li who was burying his face into the crabs. He suddenly asked, “What does this hand sign mean?”

n“Hmm?” Li Li looked up in a daze.

nHe stared at the hand sign Han Zhan had on his left hand, and then he quietly swallowed the food in his mouth by downing a mouthful of water. He said, “It’s a heart shape—it’s very popular with youngsters taking photos these days.”

nHan Zhan replied, “Hmm.”

nMr. Han retrieved his chopsticks and continued eating in a gentlemanly manner.

nLi Li touched his nose, feeling that Mr. Han was acting strangely. Mr. Han took photos in a formal way, so it was very unusual for him to use such a hand sign.

nLi Li took another sip of beer to suppress the odd feeling inside him, and only then assessed the business at the first level.

n

n

nSeeing that it was already a full house on the first level and that there were still people queuing patiently outside, Li Li said, “This business is really brisk—there’s even a queue. Oh? That person…”

nLi Li stared at a pink figure on the first level, and he took an even closer look. After confirming what he saw, he hurriedly said to Han Zhan, “Mr. Han, Miss Song is also at the first level.”

nHan Zhan looked down and glanced at Song Ci again.

nAt this point, Song Ci had finally put down her phone and was using pliers to shell crabs.

nEven the sight of Song Ci shelling crabs was rather pleasant.

nAs a man who was almost thirty-years-old, Li Li had dated girls, met female celebrities, and even befriended young supermodels. However, no woman ever made Li Li feel stunned and aroused all over just by looking at her.

nLi Li said, “Everyone is peeling crabs, but why is it that the way Miss Song peels crabs differs from that of others?” Li Li laughed and concluded, “Indeed, as long as one is pretty, everything she does is pleasant to the eyes.”

nHan Zhan didn’t continue the conversation.

nThinking they were both men, Mr. Han being indifferent towards the beautiful Song Ci was quite impossible. Additionally, with Mr. Han’s weird reaction in the morning, Li Li wanted to test him out of curiosity. Li Li asked Han Zhan, “What does Mr. Han think of Miss Song?”

nLike an elder assessing a youngster, Han Zhan frowned and said, “A young girl addicted to social media.” She even needed to use her phone while having a meal, further concluding her addiction to social media.

nLi Li was speechless.

nHe was asking him about how he thought of Miss Song’s looks and figure, but he said that she was addicted to social media instead.

nHe finally understood why Mr. Han was still single despite owning a supercar, a house, and having deceased parents.

nAfter they finished their meal and went downstairs, Song Ci had already left.

nHan Zhan noticed that although Song Ci had ordered three crabs, she only ate one. He instantly frowned.

nWhat was the matter with her?

nWasting food—how disobedient.

nZeus Airlines had appeared out of the blue seven years ago. In the aviation sector, where every country had its leading airline, Zeus Airline had managed to quickly and amazingly establish and stabilize itself.

nFive years ago, Zeus Airlines had built an aviation research and development center on the southern coast of Wangdong City and hired top aviation researchers from all over the world with attractive salaries.

nAfter five years of development, the research team of Zeus Airlines had finally and successfully developed the spaceship for commercial tourism. They named it ‘Zeus Number 1.’

nJust three months ago, ‘Zeus Number 1’ had carried people on board for the first time, and they had returned successfully. The successful flight had shocked the entire world.

nBecause of this, Zeus Airlines had launched a high-profile “Star Reaching Plan.” They wanted to create a whole new industry chain, using their flight crew and spaceship to bring people to tour space!

nIn order to realize the ‘Star Reaching Plan,’ Zeus Airlines would collaborate with three of the top aviation technology manufacturing companies in the world in a bid to develop the safest, perfect batch of ‘Zeus Number 1.’

nIn addition, the company would also collaborate with the best aviation flight academies to groom a batch of pilots that belonged to them.

nThe “Star Reaching Plan” was a long-term plan with massive investment. However, if successfully launched, benefits would be colossal.

nThis time, Han Zhan had precisely come to a KT Consortium branch in Shunchen City to meet the eldest son of the consortium, Long Zhize, to gain his buy-in and investment.
