I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 200 Private Bath Courtyard

Shen Yuan was taking a ride with a private team for the first time.

The drive from Songhu Tiandi to Huanghua Airport took about an hour, with Old Lu taking the bypass highway.

His driving was very smooth, and his speed was consistent; there was hardly any feeling of sudden acceleration or braking.

Moreover, he maintained a very sufficient following distance.

Shen Yuan thought that since Old Lu was so steady, the other driver of the private team, Old Xiang, must be good as well.

That driver had already arrived in Kuncheng that morning and was ready to pick them up at any time.

They arrived at the boarding gate at exactly 2 p.m., and the flight they had booked was at 3 p.m.; Wen Jing had helped the three of them check-in online and choose their seats, so all three of them had electronic boarding passes. After handling the baggage check-in, they went straight through the first-class exclusive security channel.

Actually, like Chen Xinyu, Shen Yuan was flying for the first time. It was odd to think that, despite his family having owned an international travel agency, he had never flown before.

After Chen Na started working at the 4S shop and attended training in other cities as the shop's representative, she had flown several times, but this was her first time in first class.

Because of this, Wen Jing had prepared the entire boarding process in great detail and had posted it in the group.

After passing security, the staff at the exclusive waiting room greeted them warmly, checked their tickets, and then gestured inside, "You can rest in the VIP lounge, where there's a buffet section where you can eat and drink freely, and the main dishes are freshly made."

"Thank you," Shen Yuan responded with a polite smile and then followed Chen Na into the VIP lounge.

Perhaps because his first flight was in first class, Shen Yuan didn't feel much about it; he even thought the so-called "VIP room" wasn't as upscale as he had imagined.

Regarding the food... it was so-so. Shen Yuan ordered some freshly made wontons and grabbed some fruit before sitting down to wait for his flight.

For Chen Na, who had previously only flown in economy class, the contrast was quite stark.

First, there was an exclusive security check, which made the passage smooth, and there was a lounge specifically for first-class passengers which was much quieter and the seats were much more comfortable than those outside, plus there were all kinds of food available.

In other details, such as the luggage allowance in first class being 40 kilograms; and upon arrival, the first-class passengers' luggage was the first to come out, all these highlighted the privileged status of first-class.

When the airport announced that it was time to board, Chen Na truly understood the special experience this priority brought.

Because first class had an exclusive boarding pass check and boarding gate, first-class passengers could check their tickets and board first, while other economy or business class passengers had to wait in line.

So when the ticket inspector checked Chen Na's ticket first, dozens of waiting passengers cast envious glances at her, greatly satisfying her vanity.

Chen Na couldn't help but glance back; the passengers behind were like her former self, which made her think about how she too used to be one of them.

Chen Na could only smile silently, wondering if she could ever go back to that?

Shen Yuan had already felt indifferent about such gazes; he had experienced plenty, like when he drove the Benz G-Class with Lih Meng, and the gazes from the men on the bus.

For instance, once with Qiao Lei on his left arm and Long Jinghan on his right, the gazes were much more intense than these.

Among the three, the one who found it hardest to adapt was Chen Xinyu, at 18 years old, she had never enjoyed such privileges before.

Feeling the eyes all around, she involuntarily lowered her head, holding tightly onto her backpack straps, timidly following behind her sister and brother-in-law.

The gazes were not only envious of the priority of first class but also envious of Shen Yuan, who was traveling with two top beauties who had curvaceous figures and delicate features.

In terms of looks, these two women definitely belonged to the cream of the crop that these people had ever seen in their real lives.

Moreover, the two beauties even looked somewhat similar.

Sisters?

This... one could only say the power of capital is strong.

"Good afternoon, welcome aboard~"

Under the sweet greeting of the flight attendant, the three boarded the plane, and the graceful flight attendant, seeing their tickets, proactively led Shen Yuan to his seat and then crouched down, introducing herself warmly and sincerely.

"Mr. Shen, I am... you can talk to me at any time about anything you need during the flight; we will be offering afternoon tea after takeoff..."

Then, the flight attendant helped Shen Yuan with his slippers and blanket, and he didn't have to lift a finger.

Despite Shen Yuan having enjoyed considerable service from others, he had to admit it was truly thoughtful.

Chen Na and Chen Xinyu had their own flight attendants as well, since the first-class offered one-to-one service.

Chen Na had gradually accepted this privilege while waiting to board, and by then, she felt it was alright.

Chen Xinyu, not having received such service before, was slightly uncomfortable with it, even her movements felt unnatural.

Shen Yuan glanced over at Chen Xinyu, thinking it must be tough for her, but she would get used to it eventually.

In addition to the priority privileges, the seat experience in first class was also the best on the plane, with spacious, soft, and fully reclining seats.

Shen Yuan had the habit of napping, but he had just slept in the Alphard and didn't feel sleepy at all then, so he asked the flight attendant for a bottle of orange juice and began looking out the window.

The plane took off not long after, with repeated light pressure sensations during ascent, then Shen Yuan felt uncomfortable in his ears and soon put on the noise-filtering earplugs provided by the flight attendant.

To be honest, just talking about the riding experience, the plane certainly wasn't as good as high-speed rail.

For Chen Xinyu, who had rarely ridden even high-speed rail, the nervousness of her first flight outweighed the novelty, especially just after takeoff when her face went completely pale.

It was unfortunate that Shen Yuan was too far from his sister-in-law; otherwise, he really wanted to hold her hand.

Luckily, the sisters' seats were next to each other, and Chen Na held Chen Xinyu's hand for Shen Yuan.

After over two hours, the plane finally landed in Kuncheng. During the cruise phase, Shen Yuan didn't notice much, but the turbulent airflow made him think of a bus going over a bumpy road.

As they descended, the plane kept soaring up and down, not only causing a slight feeling of weightlessness but also a continuous pushing sensation.

All in all, the flight experience was hard to rate.

Of course, if there were no flight delays, the speed was unquestionable, as taking a high-speed train would have taken at least 5-6 hours.

At 6 PM, the group of three finally met their driver, Old Xiang, holding a sign at the VIP channel's exit.

Old Xiang was around 40 years old, still donning white gloves and a white shirt. He greeted the trio with a smile and took the initiative to carry two suitcases.

As soon as they exited the airport, Shen Yuan immediately felt the temperature of Southern Yunnan. The season in Kuncheng was just over 20 degrees, and during the night, about 17-19 degrees, so wearing just a short-sleeved shirt was somewhat chilly.

Seeing this, Chen Na handed him a hoodie and helped Shen Yuan put it on.

The Alphard driven by Old Xiang was a seven-seater modified to four seats, with the third row removed and the second row replaced with dual massage chairs, and many upgrades had been made to the interior.

Since it was a trip for three, Shen Yuan gave the two seats in the second row to the sisters and chose the front passenger seat for himself.

Shen Yuan closed the car door and immediately felt a sense of serene isolation, as all sounds were perfectly blocked, a stark contrast to Old Lu's car, showing that this car also had a full soundproof treatment.

Shen Yuan looked back and saw the sisters gazing out of their windows, curiosity about the city filling their bright eyes.

Shen Yuan smiled knowingly, finding a different kind of comfort in the night view of this unfamiliar city.

However, his WeChat was flooded with messages, and Shen Yuan had to report back one by one that he had landed in Kuncheng.

"Nana, which hotel did you book?" Shen Yuan inquired after replying to the messages.

Chen Na replied, "It's not really a hotel. It's a private hot spring courtyard recommended by Wen Jing. It's quite spacious, with two floors and two rooms."

It was Shen Yuan's first time hearing about "private hot spring," so he asked, "What does 'private hot spring' mean?"

Chen Na paused and said, "Um... it means a private space for hot spring bathing."

It sounded quite stylish, though he wasn't sure about the experience, but the taste of Chen Na and Wen Jing should be good.

If left to Shen Yuan, who was more unrefined, he probably would have only opted for five-star hotels.

But a private hot spring in their room... Why was an image suddenly coming to mind?

A chill went through Shen Yuan's heart as he suddenly found that scene in a certain Dongying movie.

At the mention of this, Shen Yuan instantly became more animated.

He couldn't help but glance at the sisters through the rearview mirror. Chen Na seemed fine with no unusual expression, but Xinyu, that girl, had her head down with her cheeks turning red again.

What was this girl thinking about now... Shen Yuan was somewhat looking forward to it.

The courtyard was about 45 minutes away from the airport, and they finished checking in around 7 PM.

The price for this standalone courtyard was not low, even more expensive than the executive suites Shen Yuan was used to.

Moreover, as it was the peak summer travel period, the price for one night was 5688.

Chen Na was now not at all reluctant to spend money on Shen Yuan, even worrying that her choices might not be good or expensive enough to please him.

And Shen Yuan didn't need Chen Na to save money, as he still had the 25 million designated for her expenses.

The courtyard had a dedicated personal butler named Ji Ya, wearing a gray hip-hugging dress and black tights, quite enticing, although Shen Yuan who was used to seeing good figures didn't feel much. However, her short hair indeed caught his eye.

Having seen long hair often, the butler's androgynous short hair had a unique charm.

Although she was only 26-27 years old, her face had that mature woman allure.

"Mr. Shen, Miss Chen, the room type you booked is a private hot spring standalone villa, with its own courtyard, backed by a small hill, facing a river. This villa has two floors, covering an area of 238 square meters, its feature being a private hot spring..."

Ji Ya crossed her hands in front, slightly bowed, and walked while introducing it to the trio.

Shen Yuan and the others followed Ji Ya, looking around as they walked. This place was quite far from the city center, but its big advantage was the beautiful scenery, resembling small bridges and flowing waters.

Not only could they hear the distant chirping of birds, but also the "gurgling" sound of the river.

While introducing the trio, Ji Ya also sneakily glanced at Shen Yuan a few times. Having just seen the check-in information from the front desk, she realized that this handsome young man was only 21 years old?

Being young was one thing, but staying in a few thousand per night private hot spring villa was something else, not to mention having a driver who drove an Alphard.

People in her profession were rather observant; Ji Ya was no exception. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

She noticed two details, one being that the license plate on the Alphard was from Southern Province, and the other that the driver carried luggage that had an airport tag on it.

This clearly meant Mr. Shen and the two ladies had flown in, while the driver had driven 1400 kilometers separately from Southern Province.

Having learned this information, Ji Ya instinctively lowered her posture.

It wasn't exactly flattering, but Ji Ya knew that the young wealthy man in front of her didn't directly affect her, yet she couldn't help but feel a sense of respect from within.

Ji Ya couldn't fathom where this respect came from, perhaps it was ingrained deep within?
