Growth-type Super Rich

Chapter 259: Taking the Duke for a Foot Bath


Walk down from the Hu Shang Center Building.

Gu Yi is already standing downstairs waiting, the accompanying personnel are also waiting.

Gu Bai sat in the back seat of the Bentley, glanced at the time, and directly said to Gu Yi in the driver's seat, "To Pudong Airport."

According to the schedule, Hugh Grosvenor should be about to land in Shanghai.

Hugh Grosvenor, as a noble of Eagle Country, has a very high international status. People of this level coming to Hua Country already belong to the political realm.

Moreover, the purpose of Hugh Grosvenor's trip is very clear; it's to discuss the transfer of Ryan Square with Gu Bai. A few days ago, Wang Rengang received the news and personally called to instruct Gu Bai to handle it carefully. Gu Bai was originally not very interested in the so-called Duke of Eagle Country, but since Wang Rengang had spoken, he had to go to the airport to meet him personally.

Half an hour later, the Bentley arrived at Pudong International Airport.

Just as he got out of the car, several reception personnel arranged by Wang Rengang walked towards Gu Bai.

"Hello Chairman Gu, we are from the reception office. Leader Wang instructed us to follow your arrangements for the reception work of the foreign guests."

Gu Bai looked at the rather grand reception team in front of him and frowned, saying, "Isn't Leader Wang overreacting? Hugh Grosvenor is just here to sign a contract and play for a few days."

"Uh... We are just following orders. We hope Chairman Gu will understand."

Gu Bai casually shook his hand.

"Okay, I understand. Let's enter the airport first."

As a country of etiquette, the nation shows a formal attitude when facing foreign guests not because they value them excessively, but to demonstrate the demeanor of a great nation and show some respect.

Although Gu Bai didn't fully understand, he respected this behavior.

The group walked into the airport, heading directly through the VIP channel towards the inside of the airport.

The airport security personnel hurriedly stopped them, and the staff from the reception office stood beside Gu Bai, raised their identification and reception documents, saying, "Reception office, we are carrying out the task of receiving foreign guests."

It is estimated that the airport personnel had already received the relevant directives and immediately let them pass.

Boarding the airport's shuttle bus, the group arrived at the designated waiting area. Gu Bai, feeling bored, started playing on his mobile phone, while the reception personnel appeared very nervous. Generally, figures of this level are received by the Capital City; very few such situations happen in Shanghai. Therefore, except for Gu Bai sitting cross-legged, everyone else stood waiting.

A few minutes later, the rumbling sound came, and a Gulfstream G550 with a Union Jack on the wings slowly landed on the runway. As one of the richest families in Eagle Country, it's no surprise to Gu Bai that Hugh Grosvenor flew from across the ocean to Hua Country in a private jet. However, looking at the magnificent aircraft body, Gu Bai felt a bit envious.

Although his own collection of supercars is not extensive, they are all top-tier limited editions.

Having played enough with supercars, naturally, it's time to prepare higher-end big toys. A private jet must be obtained, especially since Gu Bai accidentally stumbled upon an Airbus A380-Custom private jet that can be called an aerial palace recently.

While Gulfstream G550s can accomplish transoceanic flights, their comfort level is far inferior. On a previous trip to Rome with Principal Wang and Qin Fen, they sat on Wang Shoufu's Gulfstream G550. Short flights are manageable, but such long flights were a torture to sit through.

However, Gu Bai didn't bother to think much at this moment. The cabin door of the Gulfstream G550 has opened, and several men in black suits, with cold expressions, quickly ran down, followed by a white young man in his twenties standing at the cabin door, shielding the glaring sunlight with his hand. Beside him stands an elderly butler in his sixties, exhibiting the standard appearance mode of an English nobleman.

Hugh Grosvenor, wearing a pure black blazer with the collar slightly open and not a tie in sight, had gold hair that seemed unkempt, appearing messy and fluffy, looking a bit sleepy. He slowly walked down the cabin stairs.

The staff from the reception office, who continued to wait, hurriedly went to greet him, but several bodyguards in black immediately stopped them.

"Duke of Westminster, we are members of the Shanghai reception office, welcome to Hua Country."

Listening to the reception personnel's cliche opening words, Gu Bai shook his head helplessly and walked over. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Hugh Grosvenor, who had been sleepily acting the whole time, suddenly open his blue eyes and enthusiastically called towards him, "Gu!"

With that, he swiftly left the crowd and gave Gu Bai a heavy hug.

"I didn't expect you to actually come to pick me up personally; I just told my butler that as soon as I get off the plane, I want to meet you first. I didn't expect to see you directly!"

Gu Bai was somewhat surprised at Hugh Grosvenor's enthusiasm.

Logically, he was just a business partner. They had only ever interacted over the phone, and even if Hugh Grosvenor was naturally friendly, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

With this thought, Gu Bai checked Hugh Grosvenor's system attributes.

"Name: Hugh Grosvenor

Looks: 89

Physique: 88

Favorability: 75"

The favorability surprisingly reached 75, which was completely unexpected for Gu Bai.

But the system also confirmed that Hugh Grosvenor's attitude towards him was absolutely genuine. As for such a high favorability, it could probably be explained by foreigners' distinct brain circuitry.
