Inside Zhen Baoxuan, a crowd of twenty to thirty people was present, yet the atmosphere was remarkably tranquil. There were no conversations; the only sounds were the soft rustle of clothing and the rhythmic breathing of those gathered as they passed around a bronze Buddha.


    Meanwhile, Jacob and ine were already boarding their flight. Taking advantage of their first-ss tickets, they bypassed most passengers and entered the ne through the exclusive first-ss gate.


    The Boeing 777 they were on had a substantial passenger capacity. A dedicated dual-bridge connected the aircraft to the terminal, allowing for smooth boarding. First-ss and business-ss travelers had separatenes from economy ss, which meant that while Jacob and ine entered through the VIP passage, economy ss passengers were still waiting in a long line of over two hundred people at the boarding gate.


    As ine walked down the aisle, she turned to Jacob and sighed, “Isn’t it wonderful to have money? In the past, we were just like them, stuck in long queues. Sometimes we waited for half an hour just to board! Now, even though we’re on the same ne, we have no interaction with them. We get to board early and disembark before they do. Even my luggage arrives before theirs! Thinking back to my time at the Willson’s, it felt like living in ruins!”


    Jacob chuckled, “Come on, we’ve flown business ss before! Remember our trip to Liangdu a few years back? We were in business ss then!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ine rolled her eyes, “That was a special deal! What’s the point of business ss on a small ne? It’s just like the difference between first and second ss on a high-speed train—barely noticeable. First ss should be something you enjoy on a big international flight.”


    With a smile, Jacob reassured her, “Don’t worry! When I return from Dubai, I, Lao Willson, will be ready to officially leave the country. If all goes well, I’ll have plenty of time to dabble in antiques and maybe earn millions a year. Imagine, then I could treat you to first ss on a trip to the Maldives or Australia!”


    ine beamed, “That sounds amazing! I’ve always wanted to visit the Maldives. Honestly, if I weren’t worried about running into Matilda and her crowd, I wouldn’t even hesitate to go to Dubai this time.”<fn8175> Get full chapters from find?novel</fn8175>


    Thinking of Matilda made ine’s mood dip. She waved her hand dismissively, “Let’s not talk about that fox.”


    Jacob nodded in agreement, “Hey, if you put in the effort while I’m away, you might find a second career waiting for you.”


    With a grin, Jacob added, “Just wait and see!”


    As they chatted, they had already settled into their seats on the ne.


    The first-ss section featured a 1-2-1 seating arrangement, making each seat feel like a private oasis. Jacob had chosen two middle seats, allowing them to open the central divider for a more spacious experience.


    Once they were seated, a friendly flight attendant from Emirates Airlines approached with a warm smile, offering drinks, towels, steam eye masks, and disposable slippers. This was Jacob’s first time flying first ss on an international flight, and the attentive service made him feel a bit overwhelmed with appreciation.


    On the other hand, ine appeared unfazed. Having previously flown to the United States on a private jet, she had already experienced a level of luxury that made her feel like a seasoned traveler.
