The middle-aged man was taken aback, while the young woman beside him remained oblivious to his astonishment.
Since joining the middle-aged man, she had never experienced the prestige of flying on a business jet. She had only heard her husband mention its legendary status a few times.
Her husband was notoriously stingy, especially when it came to spending money on long-distance flights. Typically, only one business jet would fly to a specific city, or it would simply fly from one city to Aurous Hill. To save costs, he would spread the word through intermediaries and sell return flights at lower prices. He would spend tens of thousands on fuel just to take passengers back, like a taxi driver offering a discount for a longer trip.
To impress others, a man once spent $100,000 to fly from Aurous Hill to Meridian. That experience became his bragging point, as he claimed to take business jets wherever he traveled.
However, this trip to the Maldives was exorbitantly priced. Although not as steep as flights to the United States, it spiked during the Spring Festival holiday and approached nearly a million dollars. Reluctant to shell out that amount, he concocted a story about the business jet being fully booked.
