NovelEnglishThe phone call was immediately connected after ringing twice.
Jeremiah asked happily, "Charlie, why did you suddenly think of callingtoday?" Charlie went straight to the topic as he said, "I need to ask you for a favor." Jeremiah replied without any hesitation, "Oh! Why do you need to be so polite with your own grandfather? You can just tellif there is anything you need. As long as it is within my abilities, I will certainly go all out to help you!" Charlie replied, "I have to go to Lebanon immediately to deal with an urgent matter. I heard that you own a Concorde. So, I would like to borrow it." "Borrow the Concorde?" Jeremiah hesitated for a moment. After a short while, he smiled and said," Charlie, if you want to borrow a private jet, I own a very, very luxurious Boeing business jet. I spent more than one hundred million US dollars just on the internal modification of the jet alone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a palace in the sky. Should I lend that business jet to you instead?" Charlie replied firmly, "No. I only want to borrow the Concorde." Jeremiah sighed as he said, "Sigh. That airplane is actually a little too old. It was manufactured in 1985. To be honest, it is just a few years older than you. You should also know that the older the airplane, the more unsafe it will be." Charlie did not expect Jeremiah to try to beat around the bush with him at this time. So, he could not help but blurt out, "If you do not want to lendthe Concorde, the least you could do is to lenda plane that will allowto arrive in Lebanon from Aurous Hill in less than four and a half hours." "This..." Jeremiah replied embarrassedly, "The requirement of four and a half hours is a little too difficult to meet. Can you relax the requirements a little?" Charlie questioned him in return, "Can I borrow it or not? Why don't you just answertruthfully in a straightforward manner? If you are not willing to lend it to me, I will not continue placing you in a tough spot either." As he spoke, Charlie said coldly, "However, I might have to reconsider the ancestor worship ceremony, then. After all, since a small matter such as borrowing an aircraft from you could actually be so troublesand complicated, I would not want to bother the Wade family in the future anymore." 6 As soon as Jeremiah heard these words, he ground his teeth as he replied without any hesitation at all. "Oh! Charlie, you don't need to be so impulsive! Aren't you just borrowing a plane? I will lend it to you! I will ask the flight crew to prepare the plane and fly it directly to Aurous Hill now! I have two different sets of flight crew on standby at the airport in two shifts. Therefore, they will be ready to take off at any time! Are you satisfied now?" Charlie's voice eased a little as he replied, "In that case, I will not break my promise regarding the ancestor worship ceremony either!" Jeremiah heaved a sigh of relief as he smiled and said, "Charlie, why don't you chand visit when you have time? Your uncle, aunt, and I really miss you!" Charlie casually agreed as he said, "Okay. I will visit you often after the ancestor worship ceremony." Jeremiah hurriedly replied, "That will be great! That will be really great!" After he was done speaking, he asked again, "Charlie, why are you going to Lebanon? Do you need my help?" Charlie thought of the problem that had cup when he was discussing this matter with Isaac earlier, and he asked, "I wonder if you can helpto use sconnections so that I can leave Lebanon and enter Syria without any issues at all?"
"You want to go to Syria?!" Jeremiah asked in surprise, "There is a wam se.
going on over there now! What are you going to do there?"
Charlie replied indifferently, "I need to personally make a trip there to deal ve with spersonal affairs!" Jeremiah thought for a moment before he said, "I have scontacts in Lebanon!"
"Why don't I do this, then? I will help you to make the necessaryangements. promise that I will help you to get this matter done before you arrive in Lebanon." "I guarantee that you will be able to go to Syria directly immediately after you arrive in Lebanon." 9 X
