Chapter 289: Little Double Cattle Island

In Old Triangle's capital, Hanoi.

Just as Su Tianyu and others walked out of the airport, a humid hot wind blew into their faces.

Su Miaomiao wearing a sun-blocking straw hat fanned her left cheek with her small hand: "It's so hot here too!"

"Yes, quite stuffy," Su Tianyu nodded in agreement.

As everyone was holding their luggage and chatting briefly, two sedans and four SUVs drove over, stopping by the road.

A middle-aged man got out of the lead car, bowing and nodding to You Yifan and others saying: "Here for the exhibition, right?"

"Yes, we spoke on the phone earlier," You Yifan's follower replied smiling.

"Welcome to Old Triangle!" The middle-aged man extended his hand to shake with them, speaking very fluent Chinese: "Everyone get in the cars - we'll take a boat directly to Double Cattle Island."

"Good, thank you for the trouble."

After making contact, everyone immediately got into the business vehicles, following their lead to leave Hanoi Airport heading for the civilian port.

On the way, Su Miaomiao excitedly took photos, observing Hanoi's night scenery.

"Oh, this place has developed really well - look at the inner port area, all buildings over thirty stories high!" Su Miaomiao said smiling.

"Can you not act like a country bumpkin entering the city?" Bai Hongbo replied looking sideways: "We're overseas Chinese after all - you should act with some class!"

"What class bullshit." Su Tianyu replied pursing his lips: "The situation now is different from before the New Era - after a century of struggle, the Asian Alliance isn't the old Asian Alliance anymore. When we people return inland, we might really be seen as country bumpkins."

"Yes." Yu Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

The convoy moved quickly forward, soon passing the ring bridge and entering the inner port.

Just as the vehicles were about to descend the bridge, an extremely shocking sight appeared - under the large sign at the port entrance was a sculpture group a hundred meters long, over fifty meters wide, and fifteen to sixteen meters high.

The sculpture group consisted of nearly fifty soldier statues - they faced the sea holding guns with determined expressions. Most importantly, they weren't wearing Old Triangle region military uniforms, but rather the uniforms of the Chinese District People's Army from back then.

"My god, this sculpture group looks so magnificent!" Su Miaomiao took photos frantically with her phone: "Hey, this was the departure point for the Expeditionary Army when they fought in Yemen and Summer Island back then, right?"

"Right!"

Su Tianyu slowly nodded: "Several hundred thousand people campaigning south - an absolute military feat after the New Era! This battle directly established Chinese District's leadership position in the Asian Alliance - 'No more war for a century' was proclaimed then."

Su Miaomiao looked up at a single statue over thirty meters high behind the sculpture group: "Hey, is that the legendary Emperor Qin?"

"Right." Yu Mingyuan nodded: "Former King of Chuan Prefecture, now Emperor Qin!"

"Looks so manly!" Su Miaomiao said somewhat infatuated: "...So handsome! Men still look best in military uniforms. If I lived in that era, I'd definitely find ways to pursue him."

"Pursue your sister! He must be nearly seventy now?" Bai Hongbo cursed pursing his lips: "His children are older than you."

"Still handsome at seventy!" Su Miaomiao replied smiling.

"Boy-crazy!" Bai Hongbo rolled his eyes, no longer paying attention to her.

Su Tianyu was also looking at Emperor Qin's statue, feeling emotional: "Heroes emerge in every generation! Who could have imagined an old thunder god from a planning district could dominate Chuan Prefecture, draw a full bow, and shoot out such a glorious realm!"

"One generation, one era." Yu Mingyuan said with a light laugh: "In our generation too, there will be dramatic stories and dazzling heroes."

"Are you talking about me?" Bai Hongbo asked.

"Yes, yes, my hero little Nezha!" Su Miaomiao replied rolling her eyes.

As everyone was chatting and joking, the convoy had already stopped at the inner port. Then everyone got off and boarded the ship, taking another forty minutes to reach Little Double Cattle Island.

......

Upon reaching Double Cattle Island, everyone was directly taken by the organizers' shuttle to the Cabin Hotel, then after checking in, they each went to rest.

Since You Yifan's side was responsible for this negotiation and bid submission, Su Tianyu and others had nothing to do, with most of their time freely available.

Back in his room, Su Tianyu pushed open the window, looking at the azure sea waters close by, feeling quite good.

"Knock knock!"

A knocking sound came at the door.

Su Tianyu turned back to the door, opening it to see Third Sister and Bai Hongbo: "What's up?"

"Go downstairs for a walk, find something to eat?" Third Sister had changed into a very cool sundress.

Su Tianyu blinked: "Isn't there a buffet downstairs? Why go out to eat?"

"Oh, since we're here, let's look around!" Su Miaomiao replied smiling: "How boring to eat at the hotel."

"Fine then, let's go - Big Brother's not coming?" Su Tianyu stepped forward to join them.

"I called him - he said he's tired, wants to rest," Dabai replied.

"Fine, let's go then!" Su Tianyu followed the two, stepping toward the elevator.

"Hey, tomorrow I'll take you to a fun place," Dabai said following behind them. "The suppliers' arms factory isn't far from here - tomorrow I'll call Chairman Gui, have him send someone to show us around. Let me tell you, first time I saw armored vehicle assembly, damn, that scene was so impressive...!"

......

In Room 402 on the fourth floor of Cabin Hotel.

Jing Yan sat on the sofa with legs crossed saying: "Results are out - Xinaluo and Kasalo regions get just one quota!"

Inside the room, seven or eight men all frowned hearing this.

"What's the meaning of one quota?" someone on the left asked softly.

"The one quota idea was proposed by Gui Mengjun - he may have certain political demands," Jing Yan stood up saying with hands behind back: "The result is set - can't wait anymore! Call the upper levels, have them start working in Zone One."

"What about on the island?" someone asked.

"I'll watch this side," Jing Yan replied softly. "Before the exhibition even starts, there might be trouble!"

......

By the fountain in Cabin Hotel's back courtyard, as Su Tianyu's three were walking out, they met a group of burly men coming toward them. The leader looked at Su Tianyu, a sinister smile appearing on his face as he immediately approached.

"Oh, Su Tianyu?! Bai Hongbo!" The young man came over saying with hands behind back: "All Dragon City celebrities!"

Bai Hongbo looked at him: "Who are you?"

"Don't recognize me?" the young man asked smiling.

Seeing he wasn't speaking properly, Bai Hongbo immediately retorted: "...Oh my, don't say it - you do look familiar!"

"Hehe, remember now?"

"Hey, aren't you Little Hui who worked as a gigolo at Baoli Crystal City on Third Street in Longkou?" Bai Hongbo asked very seriously.
