"No way! I need to go back and work hard. I've been out for several days, and there are still so many things to handle at the shop!"
Upon hearing about going to Xishuangbanna, Shi Tian immediately rejected the idea without a second thought. After returning, Kang Ziyu's coffee shop and milk tea store would be opening, and as the male owner, he couldn't just sit idly by. He had to assert his authority!
Besides, what future could there be in hanging out with a bunch of bachelors in Xishuangbanna? The key was to resolve life's major issues in Sanya!
Not going? In a couple of days, the old man and the others would be heading back to Sanya! If you don't want to go, that's fine; you can take care of them when they arrive in Sanya. I heard the old man has recently taken up fishing for carp, so you should spend some time with them!
Air Force had long anticipated that Shi Tian wouldn't want to go to Xishuangbanna. With Kang Ziyu in Sanya, there was no way Shi Tian would obediently follow them to Xishuangbanna.
However, scaring Shi Tian with the old man should do the trick! Last time on the phone, Shi Tian complained about the old men, and Air Force could relate.
Hearing that the old man was coming back didn't surprise Shi Tian. If he hadn't stopped them, they would have returned long ago; they might even be stuck at the dock right now.
The old men were coming back? Great! It had been a while since he last saw them, and he missed them!
Dealing with the old man was something Shi Tian knew how to handle. They were coming for the White-Finned Dolphin Nest, which he had already prepared; he just needed them to arrive so he could become an old man who raised fish!
When the time came to bring out the feed without rushing them, the old men would automatically go catch fish and feed them. Who knows, they might even take over Yuehu and turn it into their breeding base!
Seeing that scaring the old man didn't work, Air Force was somewhat surprised. Was this really the same Shi Tian who had once cried on the phone asking him to bring the old men back from Africa?
Since the old man couldn't keep Shi Tian in check, it was time to pull out the big guns!
"Alright then, if you have something else going on, I won't push it! But I still need to make a trip back to Beijing and will definitely visit Xiao Yu's place. You should also tell them about your situation with Xiao Yu; otherwise, they'll blame me later!"
Air Force hadn't expected that bringing up the old man wouldn't sway Shi Tian. Since you couldn't bear to part with Kang Ziyu, let's use that against you!
Upon hearing this, Shi Tian jumped up. "You can't be serious! How can you be so shameless? I may not have any shame left, but you're even worse! I used to be so innocent before all this!"
"Brother Jun Ge, you can't do this!"
Seeing Shi Tian's reaction, Air Force smiled slightly; this time it was solid!
"You can't blame Brother Jun Ge for this. Xiao Yu, Sanya, Kong Shu, and Auntie have called me several times asking me to look after things! Now you're about to run off with her; if I don't tell them first, how will I face them later?"
With Shi Tian under control, Air Force's confidence surged. If Kang Ziyu was so important to him, then what did he care about being an old man? He should have just gone straight for King Bomb; by now, he'd probably have already booked his flight!
"Brother, this is negotiable. It's just a trip to Xishuangbanna; no problem! But there are indeed matters at the shop that need my attention. Plus, Xiao Yu's store is opening in two days; I can't leave until after her grand opening!"
"Give me three days. I'll wrap everything up and then head over to Xishuangbanna to find you. Just three days—once they're up, I promise I'll show up at Sanya Airport!"
This was Kang Ziyu's first business venture; even if it was just for fun for her and her friends, he needed to be there personally. Moreover, he had to hand things over properly to the old men; if he just ran off to Xishuangbanna without notice, those four old men would surely come after him with knives!
Sure, I’ll book the tickets for you. If I don’t see you at Xishuangbanna Airport, I’ll just fly straight to the capital. Don’t miss your flight!
After dealing with Shi Tian, Air Force hummed a little tune as he left. This tactic is good; I’ll have to use it more often. I can’t let it go to waste since this kind of thing becomes ineffective after a while!
Looking back at Air Force’s retreating figure, Shi Tian rubbed his nose and thought, You’re trying to trick me, huh? Just wait! I can’t handle the three of you together, but I should still have a chance against you alone!
The old man will be back in two days; I need to work on this with him. However, it’s a bit troublesome. If I offend Air Force too much, he might retaliate in a way that leaves us both worse off!
Upon arrival, Shi Tian handed the list prepared by Kang Ziyu to Pingtou Ge and grinned, “Bro, I’m counting on you for the audio-visual equipment. This stuff is quite expensive, and I don’t want to burden you too much. Just help me purchase it, and I’ll transfer the money to you!”
The list from Kang Ziyu was indeed not cheap; it totaled several hundred thousand. For the sake of his future home, Kang Ziyu was willing to invest.
After glancing at the list, Pingtou Ge casually tucked it into his pocket and said confidently, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll have someone deliver it to you later. And let’s not talk about money; did I ever mention it when you sent me the Rod? But I do need to keep that Iso Rod for a bit, and don’t forget about the Hand Rod!”
As they boarded the small boat, Pingtou Ge suddenly pulled Shi Tian aside and whispered, “Both Eleven and September are great girls; you need to seize the opportunity! Don’t let it slip away.”
During their journey back from Xisha, he had been giving Kang Ziyu a crash course in politics, advising her to keep a low profile and stay away from Shi Tian. After all, September had just gone through a breakup—she deserves some space and understanding!
