Chapter 166 Spending 15 to Redeem My Conscience
When the Koenigsegg Gemera arrived at Beijing International Airport, it was 15 minutes late for the plane to take off.
Gu Heng has a very good attitude.
At the beginning, I was a little anxious and drove at a relatively fast speed.
But after the timeout, my mentality calmed down.
Anyway, the time limit has already passed, and Will Riggs has already promised to help me solve it. Is there any need for me to rush?
With this mentality, Gu Heng slowly followed the flow of traffic and prepared to park his car in the parking lot. Before long, he saw several men and women in suits appearing in front of him and waving their arms at him.
When the car drove up to the group, Gu Heng lowered the window.

Standing in the front is a white woman with long blond hair curled into big waves. Her skin is very well maintained and she does not have the problem of large pores like Westerners. At such a close distance, her white skin is full of delicate feeling.
"Hello, Mr. Gu. I am Livia Payton, the person in charge of the sixth office of the American Express Company in Beijing. Since the office is located closest to the Beijing International Airport, I rushed here as soon as I received Director Will's instructions."

Livia's Mandarin is very standard
If it weren't for this three-dimensional western face, just listening to the voice, you wouldn't be able to tell that this is a foreign horse.
Gu Heng nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Now that I know your identity, what next?"

Livia heard Gu Heng's question and quickly responded: "It's like this, our company has negotiated with Hainan Airlines and obtained permission for you to delay takeoff by 34 minutes. Now there are still 18 minutes before the plane takes off. If you follow the normal boarding method, it may cause another delay.

So I hope Mr. Gu can cooperate with our plan to ensure that you can board the plane within 18 minutes."

"How to cooperate?"

"Yes, we have already communicated with the airport and opened a special channel just for you. We can park your car or manage it for you. We can now board the plane through the special channel."

Seeing this, Gu Heng did not hesitate and directly opened the car door and handed the car keys to Livia.

There were many vehicles entering the airport, and although Gu Heng only stopped for a while, more than a dozen vehicles were already stuck behind him. If it weren't for Gu Heng's supercar being too eye-catching, those drivers who were stuck would have probably stuck their heads out and started spraying.
After taking the key, Livia did not hesitate. In order not to affect traffic, she immediately arranged for an employee of the Express Company to get in the car, and then said to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, your car is too valuable. If you park it in the airport parking lot, it may cause losses. How about our office take care of it for you?"

Gu Heng nodded indifferently
Since Will Riggs called me again during the trip and asked what car I was driving and the license plate number, Livia and her group were able to recognize me quickly, so I was definitely not a liar.
It was just a car worth about 20 million yuan, not his lifeblood, so Gu Heng certainly wouldn't be reluctant to part with it.
And as a black card user of American Express
The authority level is already the highest level in their company.
There is no possibility of subsequent disputes. To put it bluntly, it is reliable to hand over the car to a specialized management company near the airport, and there is no chance of any problems.

Seeing that Gu Heng agreed, Livia didn't waste any more time and said to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, please come this way. I will take you directly to the special passage of the airport."

As he spoke, he led the way ahead.
The high heels made a clacking sound.
It may have something to do with her vigorous and decisive personality, but the biggest factor is probably that time is really running out.
China is not as good as the United States
If it was in the United States, don't even mention the 34-minute delay.
If there are no special passengers on the plane, a three-hour delay is not a big deal.
But this is China
It's impossible to put this damn privilege on the table
Being able to gain 34 minutes is already the best that American Express can do.
Five minutes later, under the guidance of Livia, Gu Heng arrived at the airport lobby, where an indoor sightseeing car was already ready.
An airport ground staff member was already waiting in the driver's seat.
"Ms. Livia, there are still 13 minutes before the plane takes off. We have omitted the check-in and security check procedures and changed to temporary security check at the cabin door. If you have luggage, we will also arrange the next flight to Yangcheng Baiyun Airport.

The shuttle bus is ready, we can just take this indoor sightseeing bus to get there first."

The ground staff spoke very quickly.

Livia did not respond to her, she turned to Gu Heng and said, “Mr. Gu, please get on the sightseeing bus first.”

Gu Heng got on the sightseeing bus without saying anything, and Livia followed closely behind. Her mission was to send Gu Heng to the plane on time. As long as Gu Heng didn't get on the plane, her mission would not be completed. Of course, she had to follow him.
And on the plane.
The passengers, who had been waiting impatiently, were venting their emotions to the flight attendants who were trying to comfort them.

"What's going on? It's already half an hour past the departure time. Can we still fly? If we can't fly, please change my ticket immediately!"

"That's right, isn't this crazy? We've been on the plane for almost an hour and it hasn't started yet. What the hell is going on?"

"If you don't take off, I'm going to complain!"

Faced with the angry passengers, the flight attendants could only force a smile and respond: "Dear passengers, we are really sorry, the plane has a minor malfunction and is undergoing emergency repairs. We are also urging them to hurry up. Please understand."

There are also people among this group who often fly
I didn't believe the flight attendant's explanation at all, and I retorted directly: "Stop talking nonsense. If there was a real problem, the flight would have been cancelled long ago. Why do you need to conduct an emergency inspection? Do you really think I traveled tens of thousands of kilometers for nothing?"
It's just a delay for first class passengers? Go to hell with you."

"That's right! I'm telling you, I'm on a business trip to Guangzhou. If you suffer any losses due to your flight delay, I'll sue you!"

The stewardess could only smile bitterly upon hearing this.
Although there have been cases of delayed flights for first-class passengers before, they were never as serious as today.
First class delays are usually only 3-5 minutes, and no more than 10 minutes. If the delay exceeds the time limit, the plane will still take off, so there will be no problem at all.
But today, it was delayed by 34 minutes.
This is the first time these flight attendants have encountered such a situation.
Although I felt very wronged because of this, I could only endure the grievance and continue to comfort her.
They knew that the flight was delayed because of a certain passenger. The flight attendants were not only full of resentment towards Gu Heng who had not yet boarded the plane, but were also particularly curious about what kind of person could cause the plane to be delayed by 34 seconds.
Just at this time.
Two first-class flight attendants entered from the front cabin door, then stood at the cabin door and said to the outside, "Mr. Gu, please go up the stairs slowly."

Hearing this voice, all the noisy passengers focused their attention on the
Just then I saw Gu Heng walking up slowly.
Because he had to give a speech in the morning, Gu Heng wore a pure black Hugo Boss high-end custom suit with a slightly open collar. Hugo Boss is a brand founded in Germany. The brand style is to show the masculinity of men. The custom price of this suit alone is as high as 65.
Moreover, the suit itself is a kind of clothing that shows your temperament very much.
With this outfit, even though Gu Heng's appearance was not outstanding, everyone who saw him knew that this young man was either rich or noble.
But the stewardess standing on the side was afraid that someone was filming, so she cleverly blocked part of the view so that all passengers could not see Gu Heng's face clearly.
Gu Heng looked at the stewardess's actions without paying attention. He turned around and waved to Livia, who was still outside the plane watching him leave. Then, under the guidance of the stewardess in the first-class cabin, he walked towards the front cabin.
As Gu Heng entered the front cabin, the passengers in economy class suddenly became angry.
"Isn't there something wrong with the plane?! What's going on? Are we in economy class really not human beings? If you don't give us an explanation today, I will call the Civil Aviation Administration to complain about you, HNA Airlines!"

"That's right! For one person, they delayed our flight for more than half an hour! They even lied to us that there was a malfunction on the plane. Is this the service attitude of HNA?!"

"You must give us an explanation!"

If the plane was really delayed due to a malfunction, these passengers would be angry, but definitely not to this extent.
Now they know that an entire plane of people are waiting for one person, how can they possibly accept this?

The crowd was immediately excited.
The flight attendants had no other options, so they comforted them, "Dear passengers, please be patient. We will definitely compensate you for the delay. Now please fasten your seat belts. The plane will take off in 10 minutes." Gu Heng, who had been taken to the front cabin by the first-class flight attendant, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard the voice behind him.
Although I have enjoyed the privileges of first class before
But that's a one-cent price, one-cent service, and it doesn't affect other people at all
This time it was different. Because of my lateness, the entire plane waited for me for more than half an hour.
Put yourself in their shoes. If Gu Heng were a passenger in the economy class, he would definitely feel the same as them.
Seeing the expression on Gu Heng's face, the flight attendant guessed what Gu Heng was thinking, and then said, "Mr. Gu, don't think too much. Your identity is confidential, and no one will know your flight information. All employees of this China Southern Airlines flight will keep this incident confidential, and it will never affect your reputation in the future."

She thought Gu Heng was afraid of being exposed.
This kind of thing is very common abroad, but it is definitely rare in China.
If it were really exposed, and if someone with ulterior motives were to guide it, it would very likely cause a storm of public opinion.
Although she didn't know Gu Heng's identity, the person who had the ability to delay HNA Airlines' takeoff by 34 minutes, plus Gu Heng's age, the flight attendant guessed that he was either a rich second-generation or a powerful second-generation.
Such a person of status would definitely be concerned about the impact on his reputation.
But Gu Heng didn't care about being exposed at all. He shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if HNA will compensate these passengers in the future?"

The flight attendant quickly answered honestly: "There should be compensation, but the most likely possibility is points compensation."

Gu Heng frowned upon hearing this, and then he said directly: "Then you can communicate with your leader. After the plane arrives in Yangcheng, all the passengers on this flight can ask HNA to refund all the fees with this ticket. Afterwards, I will reimburse you for all the money you paid."

"what?"

The flight attendant was stunned after hearing what Gu Heng said.
All reimbursed?

Then he hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu, the plane we are flying to Yangcheng this time is an Airbus 330, which is a large aircraft with 286 standard seats, 258 in economy class and 28 in business class. It is now fully booked.

If you were to claim the entire thing, it would probably be very expensive.”

Gu Heng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just communicate with your leader as I said."

Rich
The stewardess looked at Gu Heng in front of her, and these four words suddenly popped up in her mind:
However, looking at Gu Heng's determined expression, she, as a flight attendant, was obviously not qualified to persuade him. Telling Gu Heng how many passengers there were was the only thing she could do.
Just as the flight attendant was about to contact the ground leader before the plane took off, Gu Heng's voice rang out again.

"Wait a moment."

The flight attendant thought Gu Heng had changed his mind, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Gu Heng continue, "We will only reimburse passengers in economy class, not business class. How to appease business class passengers is your business."

Those who can sit in business class are all rich people
I am used to enjoying privileges on a daily basis, and I have no interest in paying for them.

The flight attendant nodded again upon hearing this and took Gu Heng's instructions to heart.

As for the other flight attendant, she continued to lead Gu Heng to the front cabin.
A few minutes later, just as Gu Heng was sitting firmly in his seat, the flight attendant who had gone to communicate with the HNA leader came to Gu Heng's side, bent over and whispered to him, "Mr. Gu, our leader agreed to your request and asked me to thank you. In addition, HNA will also pay 50% of the compensation for this delay. You will only need to pay about 15 yuan."

Gu Heng was leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed. When he heard the stewardess's voice, he didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"If there is nothing else, I will go to the economy class to make the announcement. Mr. Gu, please take a rest. If you need anything, please ring the service bell at any time."

After saying that, he stood aside for about 20 seconds. Seeing that Gu Heng did not move at all, he walked lightly towards the economy class.
When the first-class flight attendant came to the economy class, the economy class passengers were still clamoring for an explanation.
Many passengers did not even fasten their seat belts and stood on their seats, making noises.
The stewardess in the economy class almost cried when she saw this scene.
The plane is about to take off. If something goes wrong, they will lose their jobs.
The first-class flight attendant had anticipated the situation here, and when she arrived, she turned on her headset and said, "Dear passengers, please return to your seats. The plane is about to take off. For your safety, please fasten your seat belts!
Regarding the flight delay, on behalf of all the crew members on this flight, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you.

Because we were waiting for a very special passenger, the flight was delayed for 42 minutes, for which we cannot shirk our responsibility. However, this special passenger has just communicated with our HNA leaders. In order to compensate for the losses caused to everyone by the flight delay, this special passenger will work with our HNA to fully reimburse everyone's air ticket expenses!
After the plane arrives in Guangzhou, you can contact our staff with your ticket to get a refund!
Now please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts, the plane will take off soon."

After hearing what the stewardess said, all the economy class passengers who were still clamoring for an explanation returned to their seats.
"That's better! Otherwise I would definitely file a complaint with the Civil Aviation Administration!"

"I thought it was good enough to get some extra mileage points, but I didn't expect it to be fully reimbursed, hehe."

"When you think about it, the 40-minute wait was worth it. I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I took the flight for nothing."

As the economy class was processed, Gu Heng, who was leaning back in his seat, heard a system notification in his head.
[The host is in a high position but does not forget his original intention. He pays for his privileges and succeeds in indulgence! Reward: 150 million yuan, with a balance of 11.015 billion yuan. ]

150.
Now it’s only a fraction of my balance. It seems that the system hasn’t rewarded such a low number for a long time?

Thinking of this, Gu Heng smiled and shook his head.
150 million is nothing to me, let alone the 15 I spent.
Besides, Gu Heng felt that it was worthwhile to spend 15 yuan to make up for his conscience.
