Chapter 116 The Arrival of a Prominent Figure
‘Peace and Joy‘, ‘Smooth Sailing, ‘Dreams Come True‘, ‘Become the Top Actress, and other blessings were written in colours matching the helicopter’s body.
It looked striking yet oddly fitting.
Seeing it land was still awe–inspiring despite knowing it was coming.
The helicopter landed smoothly on the wide lawn not far away, and then the cabin door opened, and several pilots wearing camouflage uniforms came out in unison.
They trailed behind the first helicopter pilot, all well–trained, standing in perfect military posture.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the leading helicopter pilot took a step forward, halted, and saluted, all in one smooth motion.
“Reporting to Ms. Burnett, the FW Helicopter Squadron is fully assembled, with twelve helicopters and twelve pilots present. I’m Isaac, I request your command.”
The scene left everyone stunned silence.
They were all stunned by the over–the–top spectacle, standing there dumbfounded. Even Alan the director, who had seen a lot, was at a loss for words.
A younger staff member, confused, asked, “Is this helicopter really that impressive?”
Someone nearby, who knew a thing or two, quickly replied, “Impressive? Are you kidding? The FW Helicopter Squadron is like the A–team of military reserves. You usually only see them in national–level forces. That’s something you can definitely call impressive.
“Not only that, did you see that guy at the front, Isaac? He’s the top–ranking national–level chief pilot! You know what that means? If we were in ancient times, we’d have to kneel just to talk to him.”
“I know about this, I know,” another staff member chimed in excitedly. “Last time, a big–shot director wanted Isaac’s help for a new movie, but couldn’t even get through the door.”
“That’s a big shot. Do you think we can just casually meet him?”
Amid their lively discussion, a timid staff member in the corner raised their hand and cleared their throat. “Um, sorry to interrupt, but I think I recognise the handwriting on that helicopter… It looks like it’s done by Mr. Santos…
“Mr. Santos? You mean the one I’m thinking of?”
That person nodded quickly. “Yealy, that one.”
Someone clueless piped up, “Is he really that impressive?”
“Mr. Santos can scribble a word and it’s worth hundreds of thousands. His last piece is still hanging in the Assembly Hall. Impressive, right?”

Stephanie couldn’t help but be a bit shocked after hearing that.
Even though the Burnetts have money and status, and my brothers have some skills, being able to hire national–level pilots and even Mr. Santos..
It’s too much, isn’t it? With Jonathan’s connections, it’s definitely impossible.
Feeling a sudden pang of uncase, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
The female staff member standing behind Stephanie couldn’t quite read her mind. Seeing her standing there silent and dazed, she thought maybe she was just overwhelmed. So she stepped up and nudged her. “Stephanie, what’s with the blank stare? They’re waiting for your response. I’ve heard you’re pampered by all six of your brothers, and now I see it’s really true. It was a sincere admiration.
Stephanie snapped out of her daze immediately.
That’s right, Jonathan may not pull it off, but I still have Jordan. Maybe Jonathan has asked Jordan for a favour With that thought, a weight lifted off her heart, and she felt a bit relieved.
She stepped forward calmly, chin lifted in pride, and looked disdainfully at Isaac up front. “Okay, you can go back now. Don’t disturb the crew’s work.”
Chilling under the umbrella with Milly, Oliver saw it all and rolled his eyes, giving a frustrated stomp.
That sly Jonathan probably knew I’m working on this set too, so he pulled this big show to show off his superiority and
rub it in.
This is pissing me off.
“Just a helicopter, what a joke! Anyone can buy one, I could even fly it! Hmph! He bought twelve? Well, I’ll buy 24, double what he’s got! Let him see what a real rich daddy looks like!”
Milly raised an eyebrow, curious as she looked at the pouting Oliver. “Can you afford 24 helicopters?”
Though he was a top star, 24 helicopters were no small number. That was a lot of money, even Jordan only got three for personal use.
Chilling with his legs up, Oliver played it cool. “Can’t afford it, just talking like those big shots in novels.”
Milly was speechless.
I saw that coming!
Suddenly, Oliver had an idea and leaned in mysteriously to Milly, saying, “Ms. Milly, let me tell you, even though I can’t outdo that scoundrel Jonathan in helicopters, I’ve got 108 helpers. I’ll outdo him easily with
those.”
Milly didn’t get it. “A hundred and eight helpers? What do you mean?”
He took out his phone, opened Twitter, and bam! A long list of account switches appeared on the screen: “Jonathan is a Dog (Alr 11. Tonathan is a Dog (Alt 21. Tonathan is a Dog (Alt 31 etc.
Chapter 116 The Arrival of a Prominent Figure
Gerz, he really has 108 of them!
All lined up neatly.
Milly couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you running your own little rebel gang on Twitter or what?”
Goodness, with all that effort, couldn’t you do something more productive?
“You even labelled them as alt accounts. Aren’t you afraid of getting exposed?
Oliver shrugged confidently. “Nah, not scared. As a great person once said ‘Fear just pumps up the enemy. We must bravely wield our weapons to defeat those who seek to show off.”
Hearing this, Milly narrowed her eyes slightly. As a former doctoral student from a prestigious university in her past life, she hadn’t heard of this famous quote before. Is that great person a foreigner?
“Who’s this great person?” she asked earnestly.
Oliver shook his leg
and pointed at himself. “Me.”
Ugh…
The last time I felt this dumbfounded was… Well, the last time.
Suddenly, she felt like this guy could have a decent chat with William. After all, there’s no communication barrier between two fools.
Oliver caught Milly’s gaze and frowned. “Ms. Milly, what’s with that look? Why do I see… disdain in your eyes? Do you look down on me?”
Milly closed her eyes and focused on the script. “Nah, you got it wrong!
