Xiao Churan said in astonishment, “This… is it so straightforward and rough?”
“Yes.” Sun Mengmeng said, “This is the best way. Otherwise, if they realise something is amiss halfway, or notice anything unusual when boarding, it will be very troublesome for you to explain. If they secretly contact the young master, the whole plan might fall through.”
“I understand.” Although Xiao Churan was innocent, she still had a sense of the bigger picture.
In extraordinary situations, extraordinary measures were needed. With her parents’ personalities, if they sensed something wrong, they would each have their own ideas.
Her father would be reluctant to give up the foundation he had built in the calligraphy association and the vanity of driving his Cullinan every day. Her mother would be reluctant to leave the luxury flat in Tomson Riviera, and even more so to lose a golden son-in-law like Ye Chen.
For Ye Chen’s sake, no matter what, she could not let them cause complications. The best way was as Sun Mengmeng said, let them get in the car and fall asleep, sleeping all the way to international waters.
Her parents’ phones did not have satellite communication functions. Once in international waters, even if they wanted to secretly contact Ye Chen, it would be impossible.
With this in mind, she said to Sun Mengmeng, “You are sure the anaesthetic will not harm their bodies, right?”
“Of course!”
Sun Mengmeng said candidly, “There is no harm at all. It will only give them an unprecedented deep sleep. And rest assured, we have a fifteen-person medical and health team already on board. They carry the most advanced medical equipment. They will travel with us, and from now on, this team will be dedicated to serving you and your family.”
Xiao Churan instinctively said, “This is too much of a fuss. There is no need for such trouble. Just give us an environment where we can live normally.”
Sun Mengmeng said earnestly, “President Xiao, or perhaps I should call you Mrs Ye. You are the young master’s wife. Secretly taking you and your family away without his knowledge is already a grave offence. If we do not take good care of you and your family, how will we face the young master in the future? Moreover, we are not forbidding you from seeing the young master forever. Once he completes his revenge plan, everything will be confessed to him, and there will be no more restrictions on your contact or meetings with him. If we neglect anything in caring for you and your family during this time, the young master will surely hold us accountable.”
At this point, Sun Mengmeng added, “Everything for you and your family over there has been arranged. Maids, gardeners, bodyguards, doctors, car drivers, yacht drivers, helicopter pilots, even golf, tennis, diving, and yoga instructors, and so on, these are all full-time standard configurations. They are all people we have trained for years. Once you and your family arrive, you will not need to worry about clothing, food, housing, transport, entertainment, or health at all.”
Xiao Churan blurted out, “This… this is too wasteful of money! In the end, it is all Ye Chen’s money being spent. I… I really cannot bear it…”
Sun Mengmeng smiled and said, “Madam, rest assured. This bit of money is just a drop in the bucket for the young master. To put it this way, the money the young master earns in a day is enough for you and your family to live at the highest standard for a lifetime.”
Xiao Churan was dumbfounded.
But Sun Mengmeng was not joking.
In fact, she was being somewhat conservative.
Ye Chen’s earning ability could not be measured by conventional business thinking at all.
She deliberately said candidly to Xiao Churan, “Madam, actually, the young master is not just the heir to the Ye family, nor just the grandson of the An family. For a shipping company as large as Yisu Shipping, he is the biggest boss. I do not know if you are aware, but at its most profitable, a container ship earns freight fees of billions of dollars per trip, and Yisu Shipping has over a hundred vessels of various types under its banner.”
Xiao Churan asked in shock, “One ship, one trip freight of billions of dollars? This… is too exaggerated!”
Sun Mengmeng smiled faintly, “It sounds exaggerated, but you may not know that recently shipping costs have skyrocketed. The freight for one container from East Asia to the United States has directly risen to twenty thousand dollars. The largest container ship under Yisu Shipping can carry twenty-four thousand containers fully loaded, which means that this container cargo ship earns over four hundred million in freight revenue for a round trip from China to the United States, and it is in dollars. Even a money-printing machine cranking out notes at full speed could not match that rate.”
She did not say the other things.
She knew that even so, the profitability of Yisu Shipping was still not comparable to Ye Chen holding a Rejuvenation Pill auction.
And the total living costs for Xiao Churan’s family of three in Tahiti would at most be fifty million dollars a year, so it really was just a drop in the bucket.
The reason she told Xiao Churan about Yisu Shipping was actually to hope that Xiao Churan would give up the idea of meeting Ye Chen again in her heart. Everyone under An Chengqi knew that An Chengqi hoped more that Xiao Churan could live a worry-free life in Tahiti for the rest of her days and never look back to meet Ye Chen again.
At this moment, Xiao Churan’s expression was also somewhat melancholic. She increasingly realised that the gap between herself and Ye Chen was unimaginably vast.
After a moment of silence, she spoke, “Just follow your plan.”
