Chapter 7 Friendly International Shopping
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An smiled back, and the four of them got into their respective cars. On the way, Ji Feng introduced them to many landmark buildings, but unfortunately, they would all be buried in dust after the natural disaster.
Ji Feng arranged for them to stay in a suite on the top floor of the hotel, with a stunning view overlooking the city that never sleeps.
After settling their luggage, Lu An thought for a moment and then spoke up, "Our purpose in coming here this time is not tourism, but to ask you to recommend a channel for us."
"I think I might know your purpose." Ji Feng was not surprised and said bluntly, "Many big shots have been making moves recently, and our family is no exception."
Ji Feng refers to the family that adopted him.
This surprised them. There were no signs of the apocalypse yet. Could it be that besides Yu Miaomiao, someone else had been reborn and foretold the end of the world?
However, seeing that Ji Feng wasn't hiding anything, the two didn't intend to continue concealing it either. They simply omitted the information about Yu Miaomiao's rebirth and superpowers, since it would be hard to convince people if they said it out loud. They only said that they knew some inside information and wanted to prepare for the future.
They wanted to buy gasoline, diesel, and firearms in bulk through Ji Feng's channels.
Ji Feng's family wields considerable influence in the United States and has the capability to do so. However, Ji Feng only mentioned that he had booked dinner three days later at the hotel's Western restaurant and would give them an answer then, without giving them a definite answer.
The two thanked him but did not insist.
They also have other plans for the next few days; in order to cope with volcanic eruptions and tectonic plate collisions, the two want to buy helicopters and private planes.
Another problem is that neither of them knows how to drive, so they need to learn quickly.
These days, it's not unusual to have private jets; apart from fighter jets, businessmen can arrange any kind of aircraft.
Moreover, purchasing an airplane also includes flight training. Yu Miaomiao gave a generous tip, and the salesperson immediately said that they could arrange an intensive flight training course specifically for the aircraft model they purchased.
Private jets of all shapes and sizes are available; if you can imagine it, you can buy it. The salesperson even mentioned that company advertisements or logos could be printed on the planes, but this was unnecessary for the two of them. They wanted a plane that was understated in appearance, sophisticated, and practical.
In the end, they selected three helicopters, with prices ranging from $5 million to $20 million. They chose the Robinson R44, the Dolphin H155, and the Cabri G2.
They ordered two private jets, a Gulfstream G650 and a Falcon 7X, which cost a total of $100 million.
After signing the purchase contract, the salesperson politely reminded them that they could start flight training the next day. The helicopter would arrive in half a month, while the private jet would take a month.
Yu Miaomiao calculated that she had less than 100 million US dollars left in her hands.
The dinner arranged with Ji Feng arrived as scheduled. Yu Miaomiao didn't want to disturb them catching up, so she let Lu An go to the appointment by himself.
Before going, Lu An was forced to sit in front of the dressing table by Yu Miaomiao and underwent a series of intense procedures, transforming her from a 1.7-meter-tall tomboy into a 1.7-meter-tall goddess.
Lu An's features are somewhat handsome. She usually dresses in trousers and clothes in a neutral style. This time, Yu Miaomiao specially made some makeup to enhance her features, emphasizing her cuteness and femininity. Under her long, slightly curled eyelashes, she has a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew. The simple black and white spliced casual dress has ingenious details in its cut, revealing her slender and fair legs.
Yu Miaomiao was very satisfied with her "work" and pushed the somewhat hesitant Lu An out of the guest room.
She could see the ambiguity between Lu An and Ji Feng. After returning to China, the two might never see each other again in this life. If this was the last time they met, then it would be good to leave each other with the most beautiful memory.
Inside the restaurant
Ji Feng pulled out a seat for Lu An and waited for her to approach before pushing the chair back to a suitable position and gentlemanly handing the menu to Lu An.
Lu An was a little flustered and casually ordered two or three dishes. After seeing that she had finished ordering, Ji Feng smiled and took the menu to add a few more items before asking the waiter to leave the private room.
"This is my first time here too, please don't mind if I haven't been very hospitable." Ji Feng looked at Lu An with a smile in his eyes, "You look beautiful today."
"Thank you." Lu An's cheeks flushed slightly. She was not used to such a direct compliment, but Ji Feng, having received an American education, was never stingy with praise for beautiful women.
"I'm so happy to see you again, An'an." Ji Feng paused for a moment. "I've wanted to come back to China to see you countless times. I didn't have the ability when I was young, and now I do, but I'm running out of opportunities. We've received some secret messages. The end of the world is coming. An'an, do you want to stay by my side? I can protect you, and of course, your friends as well."
Lu An remained silent for a while, then shook her head. She knew very well what she wanted. She liked Ji Feng, made a promise to Yu Miaomiao, and had her own ideas. She didn't want to rely on anyone. Living under anyone's wing was not as important as being strong on her own.
"I can't. My friends and I have a plan, and I don't think my friends will stay either. Besides, I have my dog, Ma Jiang, back home. I can't just abandon him. This trip to the US is also for my and my friends' survival plan, for oil and weapons. Maybe one day when I'm powerful, I can protect you too." Lu An suddenly thought of something and hesitated before asking, "Won't these supplies put you in a difficult position?"
"No, I've already arranged everything. You can come and pick up the goods anytime. Here's the warehouse key; the address is 935 Moslow Street." Ji Feng pushed the key to Lu An and didn't try to persuade her to stay any further.
He knew Lu An's personality; she was incredibly stubborn and wouldn't listen to advice, just like she had been since she was little. He had prepared weapons very thoroughly; if he couldn't protect her by his side, then he would give her his strongest trump card.
"I can help you arrange how you plan to transport it back."
"No need, we have arrangements. Ah Feng, thank you so much."
At that moment, Yu Miaomiao was having a great time at a bar.
In life, it's important to enjoy life while you can.
She was a little tipsy and was about to end the party and go back to the hotel. When she stood up, she was swaying and accidentally bumped her shoulder into a passing man.
The man was dressed in a black suit, and leaning against him was another drunk man who had vomited. Both men were handsome, especially the man in the black suit, who was quiet and handsome, with an Asian face and dark, deep eyes that shone under the neon lights.
Yu Miaomiao's inner monologue: Ah...they're such a perfect match. She apologized, and the man shook his head slightly to indicate it was alright. He then helped the drunkard away, and Yu Miaomiao watched them leave with a gossipy smile.
Back at the hotel, Lu An was already sitting on the sofa. He smelled the alcohol on Yu Miaomiao and, though slightly disgusted, still went to pour her a glass of warm water. "Things are all settled. Ji Feng said everything is arranged, and we can pick up the goods anytime."
Yu Miaomiao was pleasantly surprised; this boyfriend was indeed amazing! Handsome and capable, he was someone she could entrust her life to. "Great! But why are you back so early? You two should be having a romantic candlelight dinner right now!"
"Shut up, go wash up and go to bed. You reek of alcohol."
Lu An didn't actually want to come back so early, but after dinner, Ji Feng received a call that seemed urgent. He told Lu An to have the driver take her home because he had some things to take care of.
