Chapter 6995
On the way back, Maglina kept her car deliberately under control.
She didnβt dare drop Claire off too quickly, fearing that if she returned too early, Charlie, who was in Eastcliff, wouldnβt have boarded the plane yet.
If one of Jacob and Elaine hadnβt been smart enough to send Charlie a message asking about something, everything would be ruined.
So, she figured, as long as Claire stayed with her until takeoff and didnβt communicate with the outside world,
Sheβd be able to eliminate any risk.
Furthermore, to avoid any mishaps, they even used their connections to remove and repair the Wi-Fi module on Charlieβs plane beforehand.
Many transoceanic flights now offer free or paid internet,
And first class generally has free access.
If the Wi-Fi on this plane wasnβt disabled,
Charlie would have been able to receive messages throughout the flight.
Once the Wi-Fi function is disabled, all passengers on board would be temporarily cut off from the outside world ten minutes after takeoff,
Until they are close to landing.
Charlieβs plane took off on time at 5:30 PM.
Ten minutes later, the plane climbed to an altitude of 3,500 meters.
By this time, all cell phone signals had been completely lost.
Maglinaβs hairpin vibrated three times.
This was their internal communication method; three vibrations indicated that Charlie was no longer connected.
So, she sped up and took Claire to her home in Tomson.
Jacob had already arrived home and was watching TV in the living room with Elaine.
Seeing Claire walk in alone, they both looked over at them immediately.
Jacob said with a smile, βOh, my girl, youβre back!β
βDid you have a good time in Eastcliff this time?β
Claire smiled slightly and said, βVery good.β
Elaine looked left and right but didnβt see any sign of Charlie behind her daughter.
She asked her in surprise, βMy girl, isnβt Charlie back?β
βNo.β
Claire adjusted her hair unnaturally and said,
βCharlie went to Australia. Mr. Hong asked him for help, saying that a friend needed his help with feng shui.β
βSo I came back on my own.β
When Jacob heard Mr. Hong, he quickly asked him,
βIs it Master Orvel Hong?β
βYes.β
Claire nodded. Jacob said with a smile,
βOh,
βSome clients always think of him.β
βNot bad.β
In Jacobβs opinion, whether he could become the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association again in the future depended on whether Master Orvel was willing to help him.
Heβd previously gotten himself into trouble and been demoted from the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
However, everyone in the industry knew the unspoken rules:
If you were demoted during a crisis, youβd be able to find an opportunity to be promoted back soon after the storm subsided.
It all depended on whether the higher-ups were willing to grant you that opportunity.
Jacob knew he had little foundation, but with Master Orvelβs help, this matter would be a sure thing.
Therefore, as long as Charlie and Orvel maintained a close working relationship,
He felt that his case still had a chance.
Claire could probably tell from her fatherβs expression what he was thinking about,
But she also knew that her parents were leaving Aurous Hill soon and might not return.
The Painting and Calligraphy Association is all just a pipe dream.
Then, she said to them, βBy the way, Mom and Dad, our companyβs been slow lately.β
βAnd weβve had a lot of things to do since the Lunar New Year.β
βA friend recommended a cruise trip from the island city all the way to Tahiti.β
βThey said the facilities are excellent and itβs a lot of fun.β
βLetβs go tonight!β
βTonight?β Jacob said in surprise,
βSo hasty?β
Elaine asked curiously, βTahiti? Is it Tahiti thatβs rich in pearls?β
Claire nodded and said to Elaine,
βYes, Mom, itβs that Tahiti.β
βItβs said to be better than the Maldives.β
βBut itβs not as hyped as the Maldives.β
After that, she said to Jacob,
βDad, the cruise ship will leave the port tomorrow morning.β
βAnd we are far away.β
βIf we want to catch up, we have to set off now.β
βTheir company has allocated a business car, and itβs waiting at the door.β
βYou go back to the room and pack some things, and weβll set off directly.β
Elaine asked with concern,
βMy daughter, it must cost a lot of money to take a cruise to such a far place, right?β
Claire knew that her mother loved to take advantage of others, so she agreed with her and said,
βIt is said to be a super luxurious first-class cabin.β
βA ticket costs more than 200,000, and all meals and drinks are free.β
Elaine immediately became energetic and excited,
βLetβs go! We must go!β
Jacob was a little embarrassed and said:
βOh, this is too hasty. We havenβt handed over many things in our association yet.β
βItβs not appropriate to leave like that!β\
Elaine blurted out: βWhatβs inappropriate?β
βYou donβt have anything serious to do there.β
βItβs just a bunch of old men and women doing some nonsense all day long.β
βBesides, President Pei has such a good relationship with you.β
βIf there is anything, just let him arrange it for you.β
βIt will definitely not be a problem for him.β
Jacob smacked his lips and asked:
βThen letβs go on the cruise. It will take at least a month to go back and forth, right?β
βDo you want to say hello to Charlie?β
Claire lied: βThis project is managed by Charlieβs friend.β
βHe gave us this opportunity for free because of Charlie.β
βIt will take a long time for Charlie to go to Australia this time.β
βHe was afraid that we would be bored at home,β
βSo he arranged for us to go out.β
βIs that so?β Jacob nodded slightly and said,
βThen Iβll say hello to President Pei and ask him to help arrange the work.β
