Chapter 204 - 118: Setting Out, Destination Hong Kong Island!
time in shanghai flew by...
after spending 10 million buying the lamborghini aventador from lu yuan, the system wasn’t stingy, directly rewarding 60 million...
in other words, after buying a car, gu heng didn’t spend a dime and even managed to net 50 million from the system...
as a result, the balance quite naturally rose from 102.75 million to 150 million.
although this account balance isn’t sky-high...
it’s still among the top tier domestically...
due to this, construction bank once again upgraded gu heng’s client level, from a personal banking vip client to a strategic group client...
gu heng wasn’t clear about the specific privileges that came with this so-called strategic client status, but it was certainly no bad thing...
take this time, for instance, gu heng had xu ying book two plane tickets on a whim...
and what did xu ying book?
hong kong island...
it was only after booking the tickets and discussing with her that they learned one needs a hong kong and macau pass to go to hong kong island...
gu heng’s highest-level certificate since birth was his high school diploma, and even that was being kept by old gu...
as for a hong kong and macau pass...
to say he didn’t know about it would be too far-fetched...
but it never crossed his mind to apply for one...
there was no need...
with his former salary of 4500, taking a stroll in a suburban park could count as travel, let alone places like hong kong island and ao island that only the wealthy could afford to visit...
but as for asking gu heng to cancel the tickets, he really found it a bit hard to let go...
not because he couldn’t let go of the more than 3000 yuan per ticket for business class...
it was because he genuinely wanted to see for himself what differences existed between the "horses still run, dances still go on" capitalist hong kong island and the mainland...
at that point...
this service attitude was much better than at train stations...
although smiling service was also promoted there, every time gu heng bought a train ticket in the past, the ticket seller wasn’t just unsmiling but acted as if he owed her millions with her cold words, which was considered good, as the majority would have the attitude of "buy if you want, get lost if you don’t"...
after little over half a minute, the counter staff handed back the printed boarding passes and documents to gu heng with a smile, saying, "check-in is complete. you’ll be boarding eastern airlines flight mu503, and the plane will take off in 50 minutes. since you’ve purchased business class tickets, you can enjoy vip treatment and may proceed to the vip lounge to wait.
a staff member will guide you to board when it’s almost time for takeoff."
gu heng nodded and, keeping the boarding pass, handed all the ids back to xu ying.
he wasn’t used to carrying a bag, so he had to use xu ying as his human "bag" for the time being.
seeing that gu heng had finished, xu ying quickly said, "i’ll escort you to the vip lounge first, then i’ll check in myself."
after hearing xu ying’s words, gu heng frowned and asked, "why go through all the extra trouble?"
"this is the business class check-in counter. i need to go to the economy class counter to check in."
gu heng: "???"
"you didn’t get a business class ticket?"
xu ying nodded...
it wasn’t that she was trying to save money for gu heng...
even with the 600,000 annual salary gu heng was paying her, xu ying knew her place well...
sharing a cabin with the boss is something any sensible person would avoid, let alone xu ying, with several years of experience as a private secretary...
and as for handling hassles for the boss?
business class passengers, each one treated like royalty by the cabin crew, what trouble could there be?

seeing this, gu heng didn’t say much more and turned to the counter staff, "can i upgrade my flight class here?"
"yes, you can."
"upgrade her economy class to business class."
"i’ll need to check if there are any seats available in business class for this flight, please wait a moment..."
seeing gu heng proceed with her upgrade without hesitation, xu ying was momentarily stunned and quickly felt an inexplicable emotion filling her heart...
