"General Qin, you must be mistaken. He's just a poor loser. Don't be deceived by him."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ying could no longer hold back and quickly stepped forward.
"Yes, General Qin, he's my ex-boyfriend. We were together for a year, and I know him well—he's a loser with no money. Please don't be fooled by him."
"That's right! How the hell could someone like him be a valued guest?" Yang Wei chimed in. In their eyes, Qin Shiya was clearly being tricked by Xia Liang. They thought that exposing him might even earn them her favor.
"Shut up!" Qin Shiya seethed. Could this bunch not understand her? If they mess up what I have planned, I'll make sure they live to regret it!
With this in mind, Qin Shiya shot the three of them a fierce glare.
"Do you have any idea? Mr. Xia Liang purchased a Boeing 747 from the Boeing Company. With that kind of purchasing power, how is he not a valued guest?"
As she spoke, Qin Shiya gestured into the distance.
"You see that? That is the Boeing 747 Mr. Xia Liang purchased."
Hearing Qin Shiya's words, everyone turned to look, and they were all utterly shocked.
"He bought a Boeing 747? How is that possible?"
That's a plane worth over 3,000 Yuan. How could Xia Liang possibly afford it?
The middle-aged man didn't believe it. Yang Ying didn't believe it. Yang Wei didn't believe it.
Even Xia Liang himself couldn't believe it. When the hell did I buy a plane?
Confused, Xia Liang pressed his temples. "Wait, let me catch my breath. When did I buy a plane? I clearly bought a model airplane."
The moment Xia Liang said this, Yang Ying, as if seizing on his mistake, pointed triumphantly at him.
"See! Look, Miss Qin! He admitted it himself. He bought a model airplane. Could it be that you've made a mistake?"
"Yes, yes! Sister Qin, think about it carefully."
After chiming in, Yang Wei's gaze shifted back to the Boeing 747 behind them. If I could fly this plane... No, no, no! Just to sit in the pilot's seat... I would be so satisfied.
"This...?"
For a moment, even Qin Shiya hesitated. It was one thing for the others to say it, but for the buyer himself to claim the same thing... That was rather intriguing.
After a moment's hesitation, she approached Xia Liang once again. Even if there's only a slight possibility, I can't be careless. What if it really is his?
With this in mind, Qin Shiya's respectful demeanor did not falter. "Uh, Mr. Xia Liang, could you please show me your ID and the order information? I just need to verify it on my end."
"Alright."
Though puzzled, people tend to comply with requests from a beautiful woman, especially one who asks so politely.
Xia Liang took out his phone, pulled up the order details, and handed them to Qin Shiya along with his ID. Everyone else watched her nervously.
Seeing that the order details and ID perfectly matched her records, Qin Shiya heaved a long sigh of relief. She handed them back to Xia Liang and then announced, "Mr. Xia, the order has been verified. This Boeing 747 is indeed the one you purchased."
...
"????? Are... you... kidding me?"
Clearly, they couldn't believe Xia Liang could afford a Boeing 747.
"Stop joking! How could a loser like him afford a Boeing 747?" The middle-aged man kept shaking his head. Working for an airline, he naturally knew the price of a Boeing 747.
"That's 3,210 Yuan! How could he possibly come up with that!"
3,210 Yuan! The number sent a shock through Yang Ying and her brother. They knew planes were expensive, but they never imagined one would be worth *that* much.
"Impossible! How could that poor bastard afford it? It took him several months of saving just to buy me an iPhone 11!"
Among the three of them, Yang Wei was perhaps having the hardest time accepting it. To get closer to his dream of a career in aviation, he had even encouraged his sister to date a man fifteen years her senior.
If Xia Liang could really purchase a Boeing 747, with his support, I could surely fulfill my dream. I might even own my own plane!
But it was too late; things had already gone this far. There was no turning back. He simply couldn't accept it.
"This defies all logic!"
Xia Liang temporarily ignored the others, whose eyes were practically bulging from their sockets.
Damn it, when I bought this, it was only 3,210 Yuan. So cheap. I clearly bought a model, so how did a real plane get delivered? If I'd bought it today, I could understand, since prices have plummeted. But that was a week ago. No way... right? The System actually affected something I bought a week ago? But then again, the order for Yang Wei's iPhone was changed to one cent, and this 3,210 Yuan order wasn't. Does this mean... I really bought a freaking plane?
The thought left him completely flabbergasted. What the hell am I supposed to do with this thing? I can't even fly it.
...
Only 3,210 Yuan. So cheap. I clearly bought a model.
For a moment, Xia Liang's outlandish words left everyone, including Qin Shiya, speechless.
Listen to him! Is he even human? Seriously, the price difference between a model and a real plane is a factor of a hundred thousand!
While everyone else was reeling in confusion, Xia Liang, having figured out what had happened, began to worry.
"This... A model can be displayed at home, but this thing...?" Xia Liang glanced left and right at the distant Boeing 747. "I'd have been happier with the model. This thing is so big. Even if I could fly it home, where would I even park it?"
This guy is unbelievable!
The middle-aged man and Qin Shiya were at a loss for words. The middle-aged man even felt the urge to shamelessly go up and ask, How about I trade you a plane model for it?
Of course, he could only think about it. Right now, he was just hoping Xia Liang would forget he even existed. From the looks of it, the plane really was Xia's purchase. The middle-aged man shot Yang Ying a fierce glare. That damned bitch! She totally tricked me.
Unfortunately, Yang Ying didn't see it. She still hadn't recovered from the shock. Looking utterly distraught, she just kept shaking her head and muttering, "Impossible. How could this be possible?"
...
By now, Qin Shiya was certain that the plane belonged to Xia Liang. A smile blossomed on her face.
"Mr. Xia, now that we've confirmed your purchase, the paperwork is all ready. You just need to sign to confirm receipt, and this Boeing 747 will be yours. Shall I show you around for an inspection?"
"Forget it."
Xia Liang shrugged, his disinterest plain to see.
This thing... It's a total white elephant. It's worth 3,210 Yuan, which might be expensive, but what good is it besides just sitting here? Am I supposed to buy a piloting skill from the System and take it for a spin? I guess I could, but when people fly for fun, they fly helicopters. Who the hell flies a Boeing 747 for fun?
