52: Let's meet in Shanghai and participate in the "Clean Plate Campaign"!
"Mm."
"After all, you are the true owner of our club."
"The club has been established, and we've found four talented players. They've played a few matches recently and gained quite a reputation. They all want to meet you and see if you're free to have dinner with us."
Zhang Hao said with a smile, revealing the purpose of his call.
"Okay, I'll bring my little sister along when the time comes."
Jiang Chuan agreed with a smile.
"Alright, give me a call beforehand when you're ready, and I'll come pick you up."
Zhang Hao also smiled happily, asking Jiang Chuan to notify him in advance.
"Little sister, when you're on holiday, do you want to go to the Demon Capital with us for a few days?"
Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Jia beside him and asked with a smile.
"Sure, just call me when it's time. I don't have much to do these days anyway, so it's nice to travel around and see new places."
Xu Jia agreed with a smile.
Jiang Chuan and Xu Jia both went home, having agreed to go to the Demon Capital together when the time came.
Three days passed in a flash.
The weekend finally arrived.
"Second Brother, what time are we going to the Demon Capital today?"
It was just dawn. Jiang Chuan had worked hard all night, finally receiving a thousand sincere thanks. While he was still asleep, Lin Xiaoxiao came directly to Jiang Chuan's room and woke him up.
Two days ago, Jiang Chuan told Lin Xiaoxiao that he would take her to the Demon Capital this weekend, and this little one had been eagerly anticipating this day.
"What time is it?"
Jiang Chuan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, his eyes heavy with sleep, and asked with a yawn.
"Eight o'clock."
"What? Eight o'clock, and you woke me up?"
Hearing it was eight o'clock, Jiang Chuan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a helpless expression and said bitterly.
He had only gone to bed at six o'clock today, and now he had only slept for two hours before being woken by Lin Xiaoxiao. He felt sleepy all over.
"Second Brother, Brother Jia is even more eager. He called you at seven o'clock, but you didn't answer. So Brother Jia called me. He's already waiting for us at the airport. If we hurry, we can still catch the ten o'clock flight."
Lin Xiaoxiao heard Jiang Chuan's words, looked at him with a resentful expression, and spoke bitterly.
"Ah!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan immediately opened his phone and found that it was indeed on silent. He had missed over a dozen calls from Xu Jia.
"Sorry, little sister. I'll get ready right away and head straight to the airport."
Jiang Chuan smiled apologetically, quickly washed up, and had someone drive them to the airport.
"Are you sick, you guy? Calling us at seven o'clock, are you rushing to the Demon Capital to reincarnate?"
Jiang Chuan arrived at the airport and saw the flamboyant Xu Jia posing for photos. He immediately launched into a tirade against him.
Xu Jia heard Jiang Chuan's outburst but pretended not to hear, continuing to take photos as he pleased.
Lin Xiaoxiao watched this scene, secretly took a photo, and stood aside smiling, finding it very amusing.
Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Jia's indifferent attitude and grew tired of his tirade.
"Stop being so flashy. Little sister and I haven't eaten yet. Let's go into the airport first and treat us to a meal."
Jiang Chuan was very helpless in the face of the thick-skinned Xu Jia. He glared at him fiercely and said.
"Okay."
Xu Jia saw Jiang Chuan stop his tirade, so he also stopped taking photos. He looked at Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile and said.
"Brother Jia, Second Brother, you two are so interesting."
Lin Xiaoxiao watched Jiang Chuan and Xu Jia stop their bickering, and couldn't help but tease them.
"Little sister, this is what we call deep affection."
"What do you want to eat? Brother Jia will treat you. Brother Jia has money, so don't worry about eating him out of house and home."
Xu Jia heard Lin Xiaoxiao's teasing, just smiled slightly, and asked Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"How about noodles? Noodles are easy to digest for breakfast. When we get to the Demon Capital, Brother Jia, you have to treat me to a big meal."
Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, looking at Xu Jia.
"Sure, Brother Jia will cover all your expenses in the Demon Capital."
"Brother Jia is generous! Thank you, Brother Jia. I won't be polite then."
Lin Xiaoxiao heard Xu Jia's words and smiled happily.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that Xu Jia was not short on money, which is why she said that to him. Xu Jia naturally didn't mind and readily agreed.
"Let's go eat first. If you two aren't hungry, I am."
Jiang Chuan glanced at the two and said with a wry smile.
"Okay, Second Brother."
Xu Jia didn't speak, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, and the three entered the airport chatting and laughing. As for Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao's tickets, Xu Jia had already purchased them.
Jiang Chuan and the two arrived at a noodle shop. Noodle shops at the airport are very expensive; a basic bowl of noodles can easily sell for dozens of yuan. Xu Jia, not short on money, ordered the most luxurious noodles, adding various braised eggs and side dishes.
"That's enough. The three of us can't finish it. Don't waste food."
Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Jia's extravagant behavior, as if he wanted to add everything in the noodle shop. He immediately said with a wry smile.
"Alright then."
Xu Jia looked at the food in front of him, nodded, and told the two that they could add more if it wasn't enough.
Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao heard about adding more food and shook their heads with a wry smile, as there was no way they could finish what was already there.
This breakfast took the three of them a full hour to barely finish.
"Old Jiang, Xiao Xiao, if you can't eat it, then don't. We've already paid for it anyway."
"Old Xu, you haven't lived a hard life. We used to not even get enough to eat, so whatever was on the table had to be finished."
"That's right, Brother Jia, that's our family's custom."
Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao simultaneously glared at Xu Jia, who was making sarcastic remarks. He had only eaten a few bites; the noodles and food on the table were all eaten by the brother and sister.
"Hehehe, I won't order so much next time."
Xu Jia watched the two of them constantly burping from being full, knowing that he had only eaten a little, and said with a light chuckle.
"The flight from North of the River to the Demon Capital is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please board as soon as possible."
"The flight from North of the River to the Demon Capital is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please board as soon as possible."
"The flight from North of the River to the Demon Capital is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please board as soon as possible."
... "Let's go, it's time to board."
After resting for about ten minutes, Jiang Chuan and his companions heard the announcement that the flight was about to depart. He said to the two, and the three of them went directly to the boarding gate.
"Second Brother, I never thought I'd actually get to ride on an airplane one day."
Jiang Chuan and the three of them had all purchased economy class tickets because first class had already been sold out. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the scenery outside the window, finding a unique charm in it, and couldn't help but say excitedly in a low voice.
"Little sister, Second Brother has the means now. Next time we come back, Second Brother will treat you to a ride on a private jet."
Jiang Chuan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's happy smile and said with a soft chuckle.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard about a private jet. She knew from television that private jets were very luxurious, and she secretly began to look forward to riding in one.
