Chapter 549: Chapter 549: On the Plane

Two high rank martial artists of the Earth Level concealed their auras, sitting there with their eyes slightly closed, appearing very low-key. However, whenever they opened and closed their eyes, a sharp glint flashed, intimidating anyone from staring directly at them.

Fang Bai saw that they weren’t targeting him and Ye Wumei, so after his divine sense swept over them, he didn’t pay much attention to them and quietly chatted with Ye Wumei.

The cultivation techniques that Fang Bai and Ye Wumei practiced were special; after concealing their auras, those two high rank Earth Level martial artists couldn’t sense them at all, thinking they were just ordinary people. However, Ye Wumei’s unparalleled beauty still caught their attention.

Ye Wumei had removed her hat, sunglasses, and mask only after entering the first-class cabin. She thought that first-class passengers were either wealthy or noble, with relatively high-quality manners, and there weren’t many people, so even if she was recognized, she wouldn’t have to worry about being mobbed or harassed.

If it had been economy class, it would have been a different story. Once recognized, many passengers would definitely seek her signature or a photo together, and she could forget about having a peaceful trip.

The two flight attendants serving first-class instantly recognized Ye Wumei. Although they were extremely excited, due to company regulations, they couldn’t ask Ye Wumei for an autograph or a photo, which left them feeling quite regretful.

Seeing the hopeful gazes of the two flight attendants, Ye Wumei smiled and took the initiative to sign for them, and then took photos with each of them, leaving the flight attendants thrilled and repeatedly thanking her.

"Miss Ye, I am Wang Maode, also from Lingnan. I’ve had some business dealings with the Ye Family. I hope for your care in the future!"

Not long after the plane took off, the man sitting to the left of Ye Wumei handed her his business card with a smile plastered across his face.

The man named Wang Maode, around fifty years old and wearing a gray suit, was slightly overweight and looked kind and benevolent. When speaking with Ye Wumei, his face clearly showed a hint of fawning.

"Mr. Wang is in the maritime shipping business? It’s a pleasure to meet you! The global economy has been down lately; I suppose your business must have also been affected, right?"

Ye Wumei took the business card, glanced at it, then casually put it into her bag nearby, and turned with a smile to ask.

The Ye Family was a wealthy and powerful clan in Lingnan with great influence in both political and business circles, and partnerships all over. Ye Wumei, however, rarely involved herself with the family business, so she didn’t recognize this Wang Maode. Still, since he had initiated conversation with her, she didn’t want to respond coldly. Besides, there was not much to do while sitting on the plane, so she started chatting with him.

"Yes!"

Wang Maode sighed and said with a bitter face, "Right now, almost all the ships owned by my company have stopped operating. It’s a loss any time they move! I’m thinking of switching to another line of business..."

As Wang Maode spoke, he glanced at Fang Bai beside Ye Wumei and felt the young man looked somewhat familiar. After thinking hard, his eyes lit up and he pointed at Fang Bai, saying, "I recognize this gentleman. You’re President Fang from the Beauty Company, right?"

Fang Bai smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Wang and I have never met before, have we?"

Wang Maode replied, "Not long ago, the issue with the Beauty Company was broadcast live to the entire Huaxia through television, and I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Fang there, sitting right beside President Xia... Ah, Mr. Fang is so young, yet already a vice president of the Beauty Company, truly an outstanding young talent!"

The quality incident with the Beauty Company’s product had made Xia Chenyu famous throughout Huaxia and garnered countless fans, and Fang Bai had also shown his face that day. He had hoped to resolve the issue and then fade into obscurity, not expecting someone would remember him.

Seeing the fawning and ingratiating look in Wang Maode’s eyes, Fang Bai found it amusing, thinking to himself that this guy had just mentioned wanting to switch to another business—was he eyeing the Beauty Company’s products, thinking of becoming an agent or something similar?

With the Beauty Company’s products selling like hotcakes, there were countless businessmen within Huaxia, and even overseas, scrambling to collaborate with them. It was normal for Wang Maode, a businessman, to want a piece of the action, and as a "vice president," Fang Bai naturally became the target of his flattery.

The two flight attendants serving in first class, upon hearing that Fang Bai was actually the Vice President of Beauty Company, instantly had their beautiful eyes light up, thinking that such a young, handsome, and wealthy man was a real catch. How wonderful it would be to snag him.

However, when they glanced at Ye Wumei, who was sitting beside Fang Bai, they felt disheartened.

Ye Wumei and Fang Bai were whispering and laughing along the way, their demeanor close, and at first glance, it was clear they had a great relationship, perhaps even that of boyfriend and girlfriend. Moreover, in every aspect, they were far inferior to Ye Wumei.

Despite this, the two flight attendants still did not give up, occasionally taking the initiative to approach Fang Bai, offering warm greetings and covertly flirting in hopes of winning over this handsome man’s favor.

Ye Wumei didn’t say anything, simply standing by with a pursed-lip smile.

Ye Wumei knew, just as she had grown indifferent to ordinary men in the world, how could an extraordinary man like Fang Bai ever take a fancy to ordinary women?

Although the two flight attendants were both beauties with charm and looks, seeking to attract Fang Bai’s affection would only be in vain.

"I don’t mean to trouble you, President Fang, but I came to Zhongzhou this time hoping to discuss the Lingnan agency rights with President Xia of your company. Unfortunately, she’s fully booked and I couldn’t see her. I have no choice but to return to Lingnan and try again in a few days! In this matter, I don’t suppose there’s any way you could help me? If it’s successful, I will certainly offer a generous reward!"

Just as Fang Bai had anticipated, Wang Maode indeed wanted to become Beauty Company’s Lingnan agent, but there was already a large group of Lingnan businessmen negotiating with Beauty Company, and it seemed that Wang Maode was a step behind and thus couldn’t get an appointment.

"I’ll mention it to President Xia when I get back!"

Fang Bai, being a hands-off manager, never interfered with the affairs of Beauty Company. Hearing Wang Maode put it this way, he simply replied offhandedly.

"Please, President Fang, I really need your help! Here is my business card... And when you arrive in Lingnan, I’ll be the host and treat you!"

As he was speaking, Wang Maode took out another business card and stood up intending to hand it to Fang Bai.

No sooner had he stood up and taken a couple of steps than his expression changed drastically, his hand clutching his chest, his forehead quickly beaded with a layer of fine, cold sweat.

"Mr. Wang, what’s the matter with you?"

Seeing Wang Maode suddenly assume an agonized expression, Ye Wumei couldn’t help but ask.

Without speaking, Wang Maode clenched his chest with one hand while tremblingly reaching into his pocket with the other to pull out a bottle of medicine.

He intended to open the bottle and take a few pills, but his shaking hands caused the bottle to drop and roll under a seat.

"Medicine... medicine..."

Wang Maode, both scared and anxious, collapsed onto the floor with his body convulsing, pointing in the direction of the medicine bottle and making a "heh-heh" choking sound, looking as if he was about to suffocate.
