The Queen's birthday was in three days, but before the birthday banquet, there was going to be an exceptional aristocratic gathering. Not only would many members of the royal family attend, but a lot of movie stars would also be present.
This gathering couldn't be compared to the one in Sanya; that was one any small-time celebrity could attend, but not just anyone had the qualifications to attend the Queen's banquet. Only internationally renowned movie stars received invitations.
As for Fang Jueyu, he was an exceptionally special guest. It was said that England had arranged for a royal family member to receive him at the airport, a level of honor as high as the sky.
Parked at his private airport was still a Boeing 747 model airplane, appearing almost identical to the last one.
"Why does this plane look exactly the same?" Fang Jueyu inspected it thoroughly but couldn't find any differences.
"Not at all certain, planes all look the same on the outside," Zhuang Ying laughed, "All of Mr. Fang Huai's private planes are decorated in different interior styles. This plane's interior is Huaxia-themed, using a lot of wooden structures. In terms of cost, it's almost 30 million US dollars more expensive than your previous one!"
"Well, I have to take a look then!" Fang Jueyu had never seen an interior decorated in Huaxia style before.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to this flight team first. They are all native Huaxia people!" Zhuang Ying pointed at a group approaching from a distance.
"Him! I know him! That Huaxia captain!" Fang Jueyu instantly recognized the leading middle-aged man.
He had been featured in numerous major Huaxia magazines. Two years ago, there was an incident where a windscreen shattered on a Huaxia flight. It occurred over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where planes have to withstand low temperatures and pressure. This captain miraculously flew the plane safely back to the ground, saving the lives of everyone on board, and was hailed as a hero.
"Captain Liu Chuanxiong was temporarily hired at a high price!" Zhuang Ying explained, "The cost for this flight mission is 5 million RMB."
"Absolutely worth it, worth every penny!" Fang Jueyu was not at all concerned about the money. With someone like him piloting, he didn't worry about safety at all.
The weather was not good on their last return from Sanya, and many flights were grounded. That Captain Futoliya was a former fighter pilot, a Russian, who, after drinking a bottle of red wine, still flew the plane into the sky, scaring Fang Jueyu to the point that he nearly wet his pants.
Not only that, but they encountered turbulence during the flight. The Russians really are something; the way he flew the plane made Fang Jueyu almost feel grateful for Futoliya not crashing the plane.
Still, to be fair, his piloting skills were indeed first-class. In turbulent and lightning-filled clouds, the plane flew out steadily, only dislodging two cups.
But since then, Fang Jueyu had developed a shadow around Captain Futoliya, which was why he had loaned the plane to Wang Cong so easily—something he might regret later!
"Sister Xiaoying, can you poach Captain Liu for me? I'm a bit scared of Captain Futoliya," Fang Jueyu whispered.
"It's a bit difficult, but we can sign a temporary contract. As long as there's a flight mission, I'll try to use this team!" Zhuang Ying agreed readily; she had almost been scared as well the last time.
The flight attendant team consisted of very young beauties. They weren't as voluptuously bold as the last team of supermodels—a professional smile was all they showed Fang Jueyu.
"Begin the flight mission!" The purser was relatively older than the others, but her experience was profound. She was also on duty during the previous incident, keeping order and comforting passengers when it might have escalated badly.
This flight mission was received temporarily; the airline only informed them that the person they were to serve this time was of utmost importance, deserving only the best service possible. The fee was nearly equivalent to two years of their salaries, and this crew had the best appearance and highest professionalism.
However, they found out one piece of information: it was rumored that this individual was heading to England to attend the Queen's banquet and birthday gathering, which alone informed them that this was a significant person!
"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Liu Chuanxiong. I will be executing this flight mission," Liu Chuanxiong didn't expect the employer this time to be such a young man.
"Then I'm in your hands, Captain Liu!" Fang Jueyu shook hands with him and also greeted the flight attendants.
Liu Chuanxiong wasn't much into the internet, but those flight attendants, being young, were quite surprised to learn that their client was indeed the renowned Dean Fang.
"It's truly Huaxia style!" Entering the plane, a strong woody aroma hit them, with snowy white walls, wooden-structured frames, wooden seats, and tables, all perfectly capturing the essence of this style.
Indeed, unlike Captain Futoliya, Liu Chuanxiong's piloting filled people's hearts with a sense of security.
"Sir, this is this year's newly produced Big Red Robe tea, from those unique trees, you can give it a try!" A flight attendant brought over a pot of tea.
"Thank you!" Fang Jueyu wasn't a tea connoisseur, but under the supervision of that priest and young Yi, he had started to improve. At the very least, his manners and words wouldn't give people much to criticize.
"Sister Xiaoying, is the Queen's birthday gift ready?" Fang Jueyu asked, intending to attend the Queen's birthday and unable to afford any slip-ups in protocol.
"It's ready!" Zhuang Ying had appeared in the morning carrying a sizable suitcase, "I had a team of craftsmen rush this work for half a month, and it was completed just yesterday afternoon!"
Zhuang Ying opened the suitcase, and Fang Jueyu was instantly dazzled by the brilliance, while the flight attendants' faces showed distorted expressions of astonishment.
It was an exquisitely crafted crown, integrating roses, thistles, and clovers in its design, encrusted with countless diamonds and gemstones—enough to make any woman on earth scream.
"Young master, this crown is primarily made of platinum, diamonds, and various gemstones, set with a total of 1,333 diamonds, including 12 rare colored diamonds. The top features a 294-carat pink diamond produced last year. As for the gemstones on the base, I won't elaborate."
"Just tell me, how much is the crown worth?"
"Approximately 900 million."
Although he knew it was invaluable, hearing the figure still left Fang Jueyu somewhat astonished.
"Oh, by the way, that's in British pounds!" Zhuang Ying added.
"Quite the statement!" The necklace Fang Jueyu had given Guo Xinyu was only 35 million US dollars, and he began considering whether he should acquire another necklace for Guo Xinyu that would outshine this crown!
The plane landed punctually at England's Royal Airport. Fang Jueyu changed into an exceptionally fitting outfit since it was his first time abroad, and he needed to maintain his image without embarrassment.
"I might be here for a quite extended period, so everyone might as well take a holiday!" Fang Jueyu told the flight attendants.
"Sister Xiaoying, let's go with the standard protocol from last time, ensure they stay and enjoy themselves comfortably!"
"I understand, Young Master, I'll take care of it!" Zhuang Ying responded.
"By the way, who's picking me up today? Is it a Prince?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"It's Princess Silet," Zhuang Ying showed a mysteriously profound smile, "Young Master, it's said that Princess Silet is hailed as the most beautiful woman in the England Royal Family in the last thousand years, and she hasn't had any romantic relationships so far!"
