Chapter 318 Taking Off, Taking Off
When Sakura saw Zhang Yuanying and Ahn Yujin approaching, she put down her game console.
The good thing about single-player games is that you can pause the progress anytime, anywhere.
“President Oppa, are you staying at the same hotel as us this time?” Zhang Yuanying leaned over, sat down on Sakura’s other side, and asked.
“Yes, all at the beachfront hotel.”
The destination for this trip is Soneva Jani in Malé. Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani are sister islands, both seven-star islands in the Maldives. According to tourist reviews, Soneva Jani is more comfortable and new, very suitable for taking photos.
Most of Soneva Fushi consists of beach villas, suitable for long-term stays, and the island is larger. Many old money visitors mostly stay at Soneva Fushi.
However, this trip is mainly for filming the ‘Party’ music video, so Soneva Jani is more suitable.
Regarding hotels, as fellow seven-star islands, there isn't much difference between these sister islands. Hotel management and services are largely consistent, all being beachfront or overwater hotels, with some beach villas too, but these are not suitable for first-time visitors to the Maldives.
After all, most people come to the Maldives for the gimmick of overwater suites.
“I saw the hotel we’re staying at online, it’s so luxurious!” Zhang Yuanying exclaimed with a look of amazement.
“It’s alright.” Jiang Shu yawned, “It takes eight hours to fly to the Maldives, and then you have to transfer to a seaplane. I hope you’ll still be ‘wowing’ by then.”
“President Oppa is old, I’m still young,” Zhang Yuanying hummed.
Jiang Shu: “...”
Ahn Yujin, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Yuanying was too good with her words.
At this moment, a staff member from the lounge came over and informed the group that they could board the plane.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, picked up their personal belongings, and prepared to board.
Jiang Shu stopped Sakura, who was about to join the main group, and when she looked at him with a puzzled expression, he said, “You and I are next to each other, let’s go together.”
A hint of joy flashed in Sakura’s eyes, and she nodded obediently in response.
On the other side, the manager was holding a large “IZONE” sign, counting the number of members like a tour guide.
There was no other way; he had to do this every time they traveled abroad. IZONE had too many members, so to avoid leaving anyone behind, this was the only solution.
“Where’s Kura? Kura? Who saw Kura?” The manager counted, and there were only eleven people. He scanned around and immediately realized who was missing.
“Kura Ouni is with the President,” Ahn Yujin interjected at the right moment.
Following Ahn Yujin's refer to direction, the manager saw Sakura standing next to Jiang Shu.
“Then everyone’s here. All right, everyone, please board.”
“Yes!” x11.
Traveling is seemingly relaxing but actually very tiring for most people.
The bumps on the way to the destination, the exhaustion of finding routes, the fatigue of carrying luggage...
There's a saying: money can solve ninety-nine percent of worries.
Once Jiang Shu and his group chose to travel, they could completely relax.
For the rest of the journey, they wouldn't need to touch heavy suitcases; they only needed to eat, drink, and chat along the way.
Choose money, then you'll be a bit tired.
Choose relaxation, then you'll spend money.
Until he boarded the plane, Jiang Shu hadn't touched anything he brought with him. Compared to the girls who still had their personal bags, Jiang Shu's hands were completely empty. If anything, he only had a mobile phone in his pocket.
Sakura placed her bag on the small table, skillfully took out her slippers and the complimentary toiletries bag, and began to relax her body into the most comfortable state.
At this moment, a flight attendant walked over, semi-squatted beside Jiang Shu’s seat, and looked up at him.
“Hello, President Jiang. Welcome aboard this flight. On behalf of the XXX crew, I extend our greetings to you.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Shu, who was looking at the items inside the toiletries bag, responded without turning his head. The flight attendant showed no offense and continued speaking.
“President Jiang, you are a Chinese citizen, so our crew has specially prepared Chinese cuisine as tonight’s dinner and supper. If you have any need for this, you can always inform our crew members.”
“Oh?” Jiang Shu perked up when he heard this. “What kind of Chinese food?”
“We have prepared a Chinese menu with ten meat dishes and six vegetable dishes. Shall I bring it to you later?”
“Bring it at dinner time. I’m going to sleep now,” Jiang Shu said, rubbing his eyes.
“Alright, then I won’t disturb your rest. Please feel free to contact the crew members if you need anything.”
“Hmm.”
The flight attendant stood up, bowed to President Jiang, and then left.
The first-class cabin was quite noisy, mainly due to the boisterous IZONE girls, and other passengers were also chatting, but compared to the IZONE girls, they were much quieter.
Jiang Shu looked helplessly at the two noisiest ones, Ahn Yujin and Zhang Yuanying, then spoke to Sakura, who was sitting next to him.
“Once the plane takes off, tell them in your group to be quiet and not disturb other passengers.”
Sakura, who was looking into a small mirror to remove her makeup, heard this, put down her tools, and nodded towards Jiang Shu.
As she turned her head, her half-removed makeup face was exposed to Jiang Shu’s sight.
The makeup around her left eye had been removed, revealing dark circles underneath, while the makeup on her right eye had not yet been removed, creating a stark contrast between the delicate, fair appearance and the dark circles on the left side.
“Did you stay up late playing games again?” Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow and asked.
DM Entertainment did not schedule artists to work late into the night. If she had such dark circles, it must have been her own doing.
Sakura smiled guiltily.
“No...”
“Heh.” Jiang Shu chuckled and shook his head. “I’m going to sleep. Call me if anything comes up.”
Seeing that the President didn't press the issue, Sakura immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yes!”
Watching Jiang Shu close the door of his seat, Sakura also reached out and closed her own door.
The reason she had left her door open while removing makeup was so that Jiang Shu could call her at any time. Now that Jiang Shu was going to sleep, Sakura naturally closed the door.
She finished removing her makeup in the mirror, then applied a face mask for skincare.
They boarded the first-class cabin very early; even after she finished all of this, the plane still showed no signs of taking off.
Listening to the still noisy members around her, she sent a message in the group as per Jiang Shu’s instructions.
Invincible IZONE (12)
Sakura: The President said, after takeoff, everyone should stop talking, so as not to disturb others.
A reply came quickly, but it was from Li Caiyan, who was sitting in business class. Her reply made Sakura realize a loophole, so she added another sentence.
Sakura: The President was referring to the members in first class.
