A massive Airbus 380, distinct from ordinary commercial airliners, was parked at the H City airport with a dozen ground staff conducting pre-flight checks. Adorned with a vivid dragon on its fuselage, this aircraft was a custom-made private jet by Airbus Group for David, with the dragon symbolizing the soaring heights of Celestial Group.
A luxurious convoy composed entirely of black sedans pulled into the tarmac, and Alex, Kate, and Ella emerged from a Lincoln in the middle. Mark and Edward led twenty-four iron guards closely following Alex. When Kate and Ella saw the enormous aircraft before them, they were both astounded.
Alex sighed at the two of them who were in a daze; he had been nearly driven to the brink in the past two days. Kate and Ella could sometimes be like sworn enemies and at other times as close as family, but no matter the situation, he always seemed to be the one in trouble. Under their constant urging, Alex decided to take a trip to City S to clear his mind, where Rose was also waiting. With three such beautiful women gathered together, he was in for quite an experience.
Ella stared at the dragon on the aircraft as if she understood something. The words "Celestial Group" flashed through her mind. She turned her head, blinking at Alex with an expression of disbelief on her face, and whispered, "Alex, you're not connected to Celestial Group, are you?"
"Hehe, not only am I connected, but the connection is quite deep," Alex said with a smile. He was the future chairman of Celestial Group; the connection could hardly be considered shallow. Seeing the surprised expressions on the usually bickering faces of Kate and Ella, he felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
"Alex, are you perhaps from Celestial Group?" Ella speculated Alex's identity, knowing only that he was the chairman of Imperial Holdings. She had never imagined that Alex would have a connection with Celestial Group, a commercial empire that ranks at the top of the world. She was eager to learn Alex's true identity.
"I won't keep it from you anymore. My father is the current chairman of Celestial Group, and I am the future chairman. If you have any more questions, I will answer them in detail," Alex said, unable to bear hiding the truth from them any longer, with a playful smile.
Ella was so shocked by Alex's words that she covered her mouth with both hands. A tidal wave of emotions surged within her. She could hardly believe her ears, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared blankly at Alex.
Kate just realized that Alex had kept such an important matter from her. Pouting, she reached out with one hand towards the usual spot. Alex quickly grasped Kate's hand, smiling apologetically, "Kate, you never asked me before, it's not too late to know now."
"Alex, all preparations for takeoff have been completed, and you can board the aircraft now," a staff member approached and said respectfully.
"Let's board the plane," Alex said, leading the way onto the aircraft with a heart full of unease, followed closely by Kate and Ella.
Once everyone had boarded, the aircraft roared into the sky, the dragon on its fuselage resembling a dragon taking flight, slowly disappearing into the clouds.
City S, the largest city in Country Z, is a rapidly developing metropolis with an influx of foreign investment, making it an international city that truly embodies the fusion of tradition and modernity, Chinese and Western, culture and commerce. The headquarters of Celestial Group is located in City S.
Alex's private jet landed on the tarmac at Hongqiao Airport. The Celestial Group's reception convoy had been waiting at the airport, with seven or eight people standing quietly beside the fleet, watching the plane come to a stop.
The cabin door opened, and Alex was the first to emerge, descending the stairs from the cabin, followed by Kate, Ella, and others. Several high-ranking officials of Celestial Group saw a handsome young man step off the plane first, and even without thinking, these business elites knew he must be the young master Alaric.
Seth, the general manager of Celestial Group, quickly approached Alex, looking at him and saying, "Alex, my name is Seth, and I am the current general manager of Celestial Group. It is an honor to meet you, Alex. I have arranged a hotel for you, please get in the car."
Alex nodded to several high-ranking officials of Celestial Group in turn, walked to a black Rolls-Royce, and looked at this Phantom 6.7 extended edition of Rolls-Royce. A graceful curve appeared at the corner of Alex's mouth, revealing his signature smile. This car belonged to David and also symbolized David's status and position. Alex opened the car door and gestured to Kate and Ella to get in first, smiling and saying, "Ladies first, you two go ahead."
Kate and Ella got in the car in a daze, looking at the luxurious interior and involuntarily clicking their tongues in admiration. The world's top luxury cars are indeed extraordinary.
"Alex, Rose is filming at the Sun fire Film and Television Base right now. Let's go see Rose first and give her a surprise, okay?" Kate said, holding Alex's hand and acting coquettishly.
"Ha, good idea, let's go to the Sun fire Film and Television Base first and surprise Rose," Alex said. He and Rose had been apart for almost a month, only able to express their longing through phone calls. His desire to see Rose was even more urgent than Kate's.
Ella felt a bit uneasy in her heart. She had seen the charm of the big star Lin, and the charm that made men infatuated was something she could not compare to. Her dream of having Alex to herself had long been shattered. Now, she only hoped to get along harmoniously with Kate and Rose.
At this moment, Rose was sitting at a small round table wearing a set of ancient costumes, eating a box meal with her head down, next to the internationally renowned director Jude and the popular male movie star Arlo. Jude was eating the meal while talking about the plot that should be paid attention to during the shooting.
Jude was talking with flying spittle, and Rose just kept nodding, but her chopsticks never stopped. She had been hanging on the steel wire all morning, swaying back and forth, with sore waist and shoulders, and her stomach was also "grumbling! Grumbling!" She didn't care about the image of a star, and eating was the most important thing. Arlo saw Rose eating quite a lot and said with a smile, "Rose, if it's not enough, I'll get you another one."
Rose shook her head and continued to eat. She had no feelings for Arlo and even had a bit of disgust. After Arlo joined the crew, he often showed his attentiveness to Rose. The people in the crew could see that Arlo was interested in Rose, but Rose had always been indifferent to him except during the shooting. In Rose's eyes, Arlo was just a pretty boy, and he was not even a ten-thousandth as good as Alex.
Arlo twisted open a bottle of mineral water and put it in front of Rose, with a caring face and said, "Rose, drink some water, be careful not to choke."
"You drink it yourself, I'm not thirsty," Rose said lightly.
"Look, whose convoy is this? It's really impressive." A crew member exclaimed.
People who were eating lunch all raised their heads, and ten black Mercedes-Benz S500 sedans, with a black Rolls-Royce in the middle, drove into the shooting site.
The convoy stopped, and dozens of bodyguards in black suits with mini earpieces came out of the Mercedes-Benz, spreading around the convoy, with serious expressions watching around.
