Chapter 2832: Diamond Client
Chapter 2832: Chapter 2832: Diamond Client
Early the next morning, after leaving the bathhouse, the three didn’t return to Shangqing Palace, but headed to the airport.
Because last night, they received a call from Zhang Youfu.
The issue has been resolved, and everything is proceeding as planned, so they didn’t go back, saving a lot of time.
About an hour later, they gathered in the departure lounge.
Although there was a small incident, their enthusiasm for travel was very high.
And Zhou Jing’s gaze at Lin Yi carried a hint of reverence.
"Master Lin, about yesterday’s incident, I’m really sorry, I owe you an apology."
"It’s okay, it wasn’t your fault either," Lin Yi said:
"People like him, if not dealt with early, will eventually turn your association into a mess."
"You’re right," Zhou Jing echoed.
Among these people, aside from Lin Yi, Zhang Youfu, and Zhang Xiaoyun, none had flown before.
Standing in the departure hall, everything seemed novel, but they were also a bit reserved.
"Look over there, there’s a handsome guy, he’s really good-looking, just like a celebrity."
The comment came from a young woman passing through the waiting area.
The woman’s name was Chen Yue, wearing jean shorts and black sunglasses. Her long and straight legs made her stand out in the crowd.
"Yueyue, don’t get ideas about the handsome guy, he’s a Daoist priest, he’s long since detached from worldly desires, unlike us common folks."
"The world is really going downhill, hearts have changed. As a Daoist priest, he should be staying in the temple, yet he’s out traveling and even flying. It’s getting more and more outrageous."
The speaker was a young man with gray-dyed hair, a thick silver chain around his neck, and white sneakers, dressed quite fashionably.
"Can’t Daoist priests fly and travel? What kind of nonsense is that? You’re probably just jealous he’s good-looking, Zhou Chao."
"They’re just a bunch of Daoist priests, what is there to be jealous of?" Zhou Chao said:
"The reason I say this is because modern Daoists and monks have all changed. They only know how to collect money, pretending to be poor, yet they easily earn millions a year."
Hearing this, the two women didn’t say anything because, in today’s society, such things are indeed quite common.
If Lin Yi heard such words, he wouldn’t be angry, but might instead greet the ancestors of Zhang Youfu with jest.
"Anyway, I’ve heard that many of today’s Daoists and monks are professionals, and many have graduate degrees."
"Chenchen, if you put it that way, I really want to get in touch," Chen Yue said.
She even removed her sunglasses to get a clearer look at Lin Yi.
"I can’t deal with you all, you act like little girls." Zhou Chao joked.
"Liking handsome guys is normal, how does that make us like little girls?"
"Because only young girls focus on looks when observing men."
"What kind of talk is that? If not looks, what should we pay attention to?"
"Pay attention to a person’s inner cultivation and temperament."
Zhou Chao instinctively straightened his back and said:
"I admit he’s good-looking, but in other aspects, I could outshine him by a mile."
"You better keep a low profile," the girl named Chenchen said:
"We’ve known each other for so many years, who doesn’t know who? You’ve frequented nightclubs and bars, don’t pretend to be a decent person."
"Hey, hey, hey, at least we’ve known each other for so long, can’t you save me some face in front of Yueyue?"
Zhou Chao said:
"Even if I often go to nightclubs, I shouldn’t be any worse off financially than him. Our family has assets worth tens of millions, not something to joke about."
"If you say so, I might agree. Even if Daoists earn a lot, in this aspect, they can’t compare to you."
"That’s why he’s just a bit more handsome. In essence, he’s all surface with nothing inside, not worth paying attention to."
"I think you’re just jealous," Chen Yue said:
"Looks are a gift from parents, that can’t be changed. But other aspects can be acquired through hard work, not worth boasting. Who knows, if his luck turns, he might end up richer than you."
"Yueyue, you’re oversimplifying," Zhou Chao said:
"If it were thirty years ago, I’d agree with you. But in today’s society, class division is becoming more entrenched, and for the poor to become rich is extremely difficult. It’s unlikely he’ll surpass me financially."
"Ugh, it’s just some money, what’s to boast about?"
"It’s not boasting, it’s just that this is a money-centric society that categorizes people, and as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
With that, Zhou Chao took out a Gold Card and said:
"Originally, there were no seats on this flight, but after telling them I was a Gold Card member, they managed to arrange three seats for us on another flight. That’s the power of money."
"Yueyue, Zhou Chao may be blunt, but he’s not wrong. Don’t argue with him, there’s some truth to it."
"Tch..."
Just then, the airport’s broadcast announced, reminding the waiting passengers to board.
Everyone lined up to board the plane.
But Lin Yi and his group were the most eye-catching.
Because Daoists are indeed a rare sight in daily life.
Some bold people even approached them for pictures.
Zhang Youfu declined some male requests, citing his age, and only took pictures with the women.
"Daoist Master, can I take a picture with you?"
Chen Yue also mustered the courage to ask Lin Yi.
"Uh... sure, let’s take one."
"Lady benefactor, my junior brother is currently in seclusion to purify himself from worldly desires, so let me take on this arduous task," Zhang Youfu said with a smile.
Glancing at Zhang Youfu, Chen Yue said in disdain, "Suddenly, I don’t feel like having a picture anymore."
Zhang Youfu: ...
One after another, the group boarded the plane and found their seats.
But at this moment, the flight attendants started whispering quietly.
"Sister Zhou, there’s a passenger named Lin Yi on our plane, and I’ve checked his photo; he seems to be one of our Diamond clients."
"Diamond client? That can’t be right."
The woman referred to as Sister Zhou was named Zhou Li, the flight purser. Although in her thirties, she was still charming and graceful.
"Where is this person?"
"The passenger seated at D43."
Zhou Li glanced in Lin Yi’s direction and commented, "So handsome? Why become a Daoist? It’s such a waste."
"Sister Zhou, that’s not what’s important. He might be a Diamond client, we should attend to him well."
