Chapter: 3197

"Alright!" Cousin Qi nodded and then instructed his staff, "Get the cake downstairs and send it to the hotel. Make sure to handle it carefully, absolutely no mistakes or mishaps!"

His staff quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't worry, sir! We'll make sure to deliver the cake intact."

Cousin Qi was satisfied with their response and said to Leaf Chen and Cousin Qi's wife, "Then let's go!"

Cousin Qi's wife couldn't help but ask, "Dad, you're going all the way out here to celebrate Leaf Chen's birthday, didn't you prepare any birthday gifts for him at all?"

Cousin Qi responded quickly, "Of course I did! You wouldn't think I'm the type of person who would show up empty-handed, would you?"

Cousin Qi's wife was taken aback and asked, "But why didn't you prepare the gift and send it to the hotel with the cake? Are you really not prepared at all?"

Leaf Chen hurriedly intervened, "Don't make a big deal out of this, Cousin! As the birthday boy, I wouldn't let Cousin Qi, my respected elder, go out of his way to give me gifts......"

Cousin Qi chuckled and said, "Chen, as an elder, it's only natural for me to give gifts to younger family members. Your wife is right."

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "Old Counsellor, look at that! Your daughter-in-law is already starting to show her claws, trying to get your attention!"

Cousin Autumn Yin pouted and said, "Mom, I'm rubbing my arm against Leaf Chen's shoulder, how can I call it away now?"

Cousin Langzhong chuckled and shook his head, saying to Cousin Autumn Yin, "After nearly twenty years, this is the first time I've given a birthday gift to Chen. As an uncle, I wouldn't dare play 'empty-handed' now."

As he spoke, he pointed to the airplane behind him, laughing, "Look, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Chen! This is a Boeing 737 passenger plane produced in Seattle, USA, which I commissioned last year. The interior modifications are all according to the top-level customization plan, and from now on it will be Chen's personal exclusive aircraft!"

Leaf Chen heard this and was shocked, but also quickly said, "Cousin Langzhong, this gift is really too precious, I can't accept......"

Cousin Langzhong's face turned serious, opening his mouth to say, "You won't take it or not? Anyway, someone has already brought it here for you. If you don't want to take it, just leave it here."

Lin Wanqiu quickly spoke up from the side, saying, "Chen, this is your Cousin Langzhong's heartfelt gift, and it's not too expensive to talk about. Just be at ease and accept it!"

Leaf Chen didn't feel hostile towards Cousin Langzhong, but he felt that Cousin Langzhong suddenly gave him a personal aircraft, which was indeed quite extravagant.

Moreover, this is not just any ordinary private aircraft worth a few million or tens of millions of dollars, it's a Boeing 737 passenger plane customized for personal use.

The manufacturing price of a Boeing 737 commercial airliner is roughly around $100 million, but this is just for a commercial airliner. For personal aircraft, it's like a rough-hewn house, and the cost of renovation and decoration would at least occupy more than half of its total value.

So, calculating it, the value of this one aircraft would be around 10 billion yuan.

When the birthday came, Cousin Langzhong gave him such a precious gift, Leaf Chen was indeed somewhat awkward.

Cousin Langzhong saw that he seemed hesitant and approached him, grasping his shoulder with a serious tone: "Chen-er, in my opinion, you are like my son. You now have your own career and need to fly back and forth across the country or even around the world frequently. Having your own private aircraft would be very convenient for you."

Leaf Chen said sincerely: "Cousin Langzhong, actually, our family has a spare private aircraft in Jinling that's enough for me to use. I'm really not wanting you to waste too much money on this."

Cousin Langzhong spoke with an extremely firm expression: "Your family's private aircraft is your family's, and the one Uncle sends to you is yours. Is there a difference between using your own things and someone else's? Besides, your relationship with our family isn't very clear-cut. What if you get into a fight with your grandfather in the future and need to use his aircraft? Wouldn't that be humiliating?"

He added: "Again, what's there to be polite about? It's just an aircraft worth 10 billion at most. I've had a near-death experience myself, so having this much money is also quite painful."

On the side, Lin Wanqiu quickly chimed in: "Yes, Chen-er, you should just take it happily and not go back to Uncle on your birthday, asking him for something. It's too late to ask for something at his age." JrNovels.com
