Chapter 158: See you soon, Zhou Ming

At the airport in the eastern suburbs of the northern Russian capital of Krisko, the announcements in the departure lounge repeatedly told everyone to board the plane in an orderly manner. However, after all the passengers had walked through the boarding channel and onto the tarmac, they could not help but stop in their tracks and stare in disbelief. The reason was that the airport was now full of all kinds of luxury cars, and there was even a vehicle with Mliny Palace license plates. Dozens of people were standing on the airport, next to them were many bodyguards and Mliny Palace security guards. In the middle of the crowd were a few Chinese people, and the others seemed to be

because at this moment the airport was full of all kinds of luxury cars, and there was even a vehicle with a Murin Palace license plate. Dozens of people were standing on the airport, next to them were many bodyguards and Murin Palace guards. In the middle of the crowd were a few Chinese people, and it seemed that all the other people were there to see them off.

My God, what on earth is going on? Could it be that the Chinese leaders are making a secret visit? But if that were the case, shouldn't there be a leader's special plane? China may be poor, but it's not so poor that it can't afford a special plane. Even if they can't afford it, I, Northern Russia, a great power that can rival the United States, can lend them a special plane as a friendly gesture. How can it not be a passenger plane?

This is the first reaction in everyone's heart when they see this scene. However, if there is someone knowledgeable here, he will definitely be able to recognise the identities of many people over there. Not only is there Kasyan, the director of the president's office, but also Robert, the American ambassador, as well as Irbedov and Boltarsky, these wealthy Northern Russians. As for the others who can stand with them, I don't think they will be bad.

The airport staff next to them said, 'Our East Suburban Airport is the largest and best airport in Northern Russia. It is normal to see big shots here. I have seen them here several times already.'

These words made everyone respect and admire them. They felt proud and honoured to be on the same plane as such big shots, and they felt lucky that the airport staff could meet these big shots so often.

However, these people did not know that the airport staff's words were indeed from the heart, but in reality, such situations were not seen every day. In the past, it was only possible to see such situations once in a long time, but recently, they have been happening quite frequently, except that each time seems to be related to the Chinese... Damn it, what is the background of these Chinese people, and why can they cause such a sensation?

Of course, the Chinese person who made them speculate like this was no one else but Zhou Ming, who was leaving North Russia to return to China by plane today.

'Mr. Zhou Ming, I am here today to see you off on behalf of the President. You are a good friend of our North Russian Republic. You helped us in our time of greatest need. This friendship will last forever. And to show our friendship, we will send air force fighter jets to escort you the whole way, my friend!' said Kasia, the Director of the President's Office, to Zhou Ming.

After Kasia, the US ambassador also said to Zhou Ming, 'I haven't known Mr. Zhou Ming for long, but after just one meeting, I can tell that Mr. Zhou Ming is a very remarkable person. His character is noble, his abilities are excellent. If possible, I would like to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Mr. Zhou Ming. In the future, if you have time, I would be very welcome for Mr. Zhou Ming to visit the United States.'

And Irbeldov: 'Mr. Zhou Ming is the best partner for our Northern Russian businessmen. Many of his business ideas surpass ours. His departure has made us all feel a heavy sense of regret. If I could, I would very much not want Mr. Zhou Ming to leave...'

After these three people, others also came forward to speak to Zhou Ming, either expressing regret or reluctance, and some even shed tears.

Facing all these farewells, Zhou Ming felt very uncomfortable, because he had not asked anyone to come to see him off. These people had all come to the airport after hearing the news that he was leaving.

If this had happened to anyone else, they would be very happy to have so many people come to see them off voluntarily. After all, it shows that they have been very successful in life and their charisma is off the charts. But now Zhou Ming was just feeling very uncomfortable. The reason was very simple: these people were not sincere in their farewells.

People like the director of the president's office, Karsia, the American ambassador, Robert, and Davier, simply want him to leave as soon as possible; while people like Irbedov, who do want him to stay, are cursing themselves internally for making such a headstrong decision.

Compared to these people, Li Cheng and Tong Gang's feelings were even more tangled. Emotionally speaking, they were businessmen who came to North Russia with Zhou Ming to start a business, and they definitely wanted to see Zhou Ming off. However, due to the decision Zhou Ming made before leaving, they cursed Zhou Ming's irresponsibility in their hearts and wished they could dismember Zhou Ming.

In contrast, the person who had the least psychological burden and was most sincere in seeing Zhou Ming off was probably only Consul Zhang Hui.

After all, for him, the task the ambassador had given him had been successfully completed. He had no relationship with how much money Zhou Ming earned, and he also truly admired Zhou Ming for being a Chinese national who could achieve such success in a foreign land. Of course, he had to admit that he still felt a little uncomfortable. While the American ambassador had personally come to see Zhou Ming off, he had only sent a consul, which he felt was a bit of a lack of respect.

But anyway, when someone is leaving, being able to make such a big fuss, whether it's the central government of a country like the White House, the highest diplomatic institution like the embassy, or those top billionaires, they can all be proud of themselves.

With this thought in mind, Ming Zhou said loudly, 'I am very grateful that everyone could come here today to see me off. I, Ming Zhou, don't deserve to be treated with such importance.'

Following Zhou Ming's words, the following people spoke one after the other, saying that Zhou Ming was humble, that he was very capable, that it was also their pride to come to see him off, and that they would all miss Zhou Ming.

'I know that some people are reluctant to see me leave, so how about I stay for a little longer?'

Zhou Ming suddenly asked this question, and the faces of the American ambassadors Robert and Davier were not right at the time, especially after they figured out that Zhou Ming was deliberately playing with them, they were even more angry.

'But after all, I still have very important things to deal with when I return to China, and I already bought my plane ticket a long time ago, so I can't cancel it. But I will always pay attention to the situation here, and I will definitely keep in touch with everyone.'

Zhou Ming said in the end, and everyone applauded, especially Davie and Cassia, who applauded the most enthusiastically. They didn't believe the words about buying a ticket that couldn't be refunded. A capitalist with a hundred billion in one account would care about a plane ticket? Are you kidding? But no matter what the reason was for Zhou Ming to go back, the fact that he could leave was the best thing for them.

Zhou Ming, Su Han and Du Peng walked up the passenger lift to the plane, waved goodbye to everyone, and walked into the first class cabin to take their seats. Du Peng glanced out the window and said to Zhou Ming, 'Look at how happy those guys from Davie are. They couldn't wait for you to leave.'

Zhou Ming also glanced out the window, spread his hands, and said, 'So I did as they wished. I wonder if they'll pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate when they get back.'

'But you still left them with a little surprise. I wonder what their faces will look like when they realise that even if you leave, your work will not stop. ' Su Han laughed.

Amidst their laughter, the plane slowly taxied and took off into the sky. As they had expected, after seeing Zhou Ming board the plane at the airport and disappear into the distance, Davier and the others were so happy that they could have jumped for joy. They immediately returned to Villa 8 and started a celebration party, inviting Cassia, the director of the president's office.

'It's great that that bastard Zhou Ming has finally left. He was nothing but a villain who did evil deeds without end, with no gentlemanly bearing at all. He was just disgusting!' Davier raised his glass and said.

Kasia also raised his glass and said, 'Yes, that guy Zhou Ming really isn't a fun person. He's here to disrupt our fledgling economic order. These cunning Easterners will always be looking for loopholes in our policies and systems, giving us a headache. The president and our comrades lose so much hair every day because of this Mr Zhou Ming.'

Robert also said, 'As a gentleman and a diplomat, I can't say anything foul-mouthed, but I just want to say that it's a good thing that Zhou Ming is gone.'

The three then clinked glasses, and Robert asked, 'But Mr. Kasyanov, can you ensure that Zhou Ming has really left and that he won't just make a detour back over Siberia? You know, these Chinese people are very cunning, and you can't be too careful.'

'Please rest assured, Mr. Ambassador. I have already given orders to Siberia. If they want to play any tricks, we will be the first to receive the news. I can even have the airport there temporarily closed for a while, so that our Mr. Zhou Ming cannot return to Krisko,' said Karsia.

Robert raised his glass and signalled to Karsia: 'This is really exciting news.'

But then Kasia became worried: 'It's just that why would Zhou Ming leave at this time? Will things really stop if he leaves?'

'Please rest assured, Mr. Kasia. Those Chinese people and Irbedov are just ignorant. It's always Zhou Ming who has been causing us trouble here. Now that he's gone, for whatever reason, as long as he's gone, he can't dictate things here, and we can get on with things. Hasn't the stock market just recovered and skyrocketed?' David said happily.

But heaven is just like David, who sings in opposition. As soon as David's words fell, the young William hurried over and said, 'Oh no, a huge amount of capital just entered the stock market and is selling stocks like crazy, causing the stock price to plummet. It's now more than 80%.'

David was so surprised that he almost jumped up. 'How could this happen? Isn't Zhou Ming gone?'

'I heard that before he left, Zhou Ming had already handed everything over to Mr. Meta to do, and now the battle in the stock market is Mr. Meta operating the trading,' William said.

This sentence left the three Daviers stunned, unable to speak anymore, because it was like a dream. No wonder Zhou Ming dared to leave at this time, he had prepared for this!

What they just couldn't understand was: why would Meta help Zhou Ming, and why would Zhou Ming dare to leave things in Meta's hands so confidently?
