Chapter 282: Flirtation

That night, the largest sightseeing cruise ship in Tianhong Port was chartered by You Yifan. Over a hundred men and women attending the gathering, properly dressed, played and socialized on the ship.

In the top floor guest room on the ship, You Yifan sat on the sofa, asking softly to a woman who looked very similar to him and a middle-aged man: "Gui Mengjun has met quite a few people these days, right?"

"Mm, heard he's met with people from the South Hu circle, garrison, and Northeast circle," the woman replied softly. "I arranged a driver for him, but he didn't use it - takes his own people out every day - I couldn't well ask about it."

"Just pay attention to who he meets with," You Yifan instructed softly. "A supplier of this level won't eat from just our one line - it's normal to contact more people."

The woman smiled wryly: "A family selling arms and prohibited materials, actually wanting to openly hold some exhibition! This is too outrageous."

"What's outrageous about it?" You Yifan said smiling: "Before the New Era, didn't Old Russia and Old America all set up a bunch of white gloves, holding cocktail parties and damn modern military equipment exhibitions in the Middle East and South America? This is the same meaning. The invitation Gui family sent out externally is also a trade exhibition."

"Hehe, true," the woman nodded.

"Maintain good relations with Gui Mengjun - he can talk with Old Triangle's Western Pacification King and is also one of the decision makers in the family," You Yifan instructed softly. "Just arrange him well and later matters will be easy to handle. Take two million from the company accounts - when he leaves, buy some things for him to take back."

"Understood!" The woman nodded.

......

In the first floor hall of the cruise ship.

Su Miaomiao wore a white dress with shoulder-length hair flowing loose, sitting on a bar stool, holding juice in her left hand while massaging her long legs with her right hand saying: "Ouch, these legs and feet are killing me... I just don't understand what's the point of this kind of gathering? Crowds of people everywhere - after one round, can't remember a single person."

Beside her, another Su family young lady replied with a light laugh: "Sister, can't you act more ladylike? People come here to socialize, build relationships - but look at you, just eating and drinking. My god, so embarrassing being with you...!"

Su Miaomiao drank her beverage, pursing her lips replying: "It's all fake! You don't really think drinking a couple glasses with someone here means you can work together in future? So naive...!"

As the two were talking, a man wearing pure black came over holding a wine glass: "Oh, Miss Su!"

Su Miaomiao turned hearing this, seeing it was Gui Mengjun, immediately jumping down from the stool, politely extending her hand: "Meeting again, Mr. Gui!"

Gui Mengjun politely looked Su Miaomiao over, praising softly: "Miss Su, you look very beautiful today! Like a Korean star from long ago...!"

"Oh no, I usually don't wear much makeup - how could I compare to stars!"

"No, you really look like some star, she's called... what was it, right right, seems called Ah U," Gui Mengjun said very conversationally holding his wine glass. "But you have more spirit than her, more pleasing to look at!"

Su Miaomiao's personality actually wasn't very suited to this kind of conversation - she preferred being more casual, so when Gui Mengjun praised her, it made her pretty face turn red.

Gui Mengjun maintained the rhythm throughout, asking almost without pause: "Miss Su, where are you working now?"

"My family started an association - I do clerical work there, finance," Su Miaomiao began conversing with him.

"That's quite good - Dragon City has quite a lot of associations, and the Political Assistance is willing to give policies - who knows, maybe one day if you do well, you might create another overseas political party - that would be something."

"No no, we're just fumbling along now - mainly to ensure business runs normally," Su Miaomiao responded softly.

Gui Mengjun looked at the beauty before him, pausing for a long while before asking: "Miss Su, next month we've booked an island in the Asian Alliance for an exhibition - do you have time? I'd like to invite you to come take a look...!"

"Why invite me?" Su Miaomiao blinked her big eyes, asking very directly.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Gui Mengjun paused before replying with a light laugh: "That island sank geologically during the Little Ice Age, forming many unique landscapes - the scenery is very beautiful - it would be a pity not to see it while young... Moreover, all expenses are covered by the organizers - might as well go!"

"Hehe! That's true."

Gui Mengjun was a very conversational person, especially when talking to women - his eyes were full of gentleness. Plus although he wasn't young, he was especially handsome, so Su Miaomiao wasn't averse to him.

......

Near Second Street, Tianhong Port.

A middle-aged man wearing a T-shirt sat in a car smoking strong cigarettes, turning to ask a thug: "The ship will definitely come out this way, right?"

"Right!" The thug nodded.

The middle-aged man looked at his watch, saying softly: "Get ready!"

"Got it!"

The thug responded before stepping out of the car.

......

In a small factory of the Xue family in the Kasalo region.

After inspecting the goods to be shipped next month, Xue Ping'an stepped out of the warehouse, standing outside asking: "Going to attend an exhibition in the Asian Alliance next month! Come with me then."

"Got it, Dad!" The young man beside him slowly nodded, unconsciously sniffing his nose.

Xue Ping'an looked at him, silent for a long while before asking: "You've been touching that stuff again recently?"

"No." The young man shook his head with slightly scattered gaze, replying softly: "I've come out, quit clean - just have some aftereffects now - nose feels very dry."

Xue Ping'an pointed at his face, cursing through gritted teeth: "I'm giving you one last chance - if you still act like an idiot! I'll personally kill you and have another child with your mother!"

"Mm." The young man nodded.

Xue Ping'an glanced at him without saying more, turning to get in the car and leave.

Seeing him go far, the young man immediately sneered saying: "No bullets in the gun barrel - what are you going to use to make one?!"

......

About an hour later.

You Yifan walked onto the deck with the woman who looked very similar to him and a middle-aged man.

"Then you all head back first - properly sort out the company accounts, recover some cash."

"Understood." The woman nodded.

Hearing this, You Yifan turned calling: "Where's Little Feng - call a boat to send my sister back first!"

"Brother Fan, Little Feng left - he took the Baoli Company people," Su Tiannan smoking at the hall entrance replied.

"Tiannan, are you free? If you're free, help send my sister, and then go to the city to pick up someone for me!" You Yifan said.

......

In Longkou District.

Jing Yan sat in the car, holding his phone saying: "Notify all gang leaders to meet - I need to raise money!"
