Niu Ying
Chapter 11 Destination
Gong Dalong clapped his hands. "Homeowners of Egret Island, I'd like to say a few words."
Before speaking, Manager Gong didn't forget to have Lili bring back Hao Jiening, Old Hu's wife who had been angered to tears, and Zhao Di, who was still broadcasting live.
"Esteemed homeowners, we're here today for a seaside vacation to relax. I hope everyone won't be too tense. Relax. You should enjoy the beautiful scenery and cool sea breeze. I hereby announce that the fishing competition you've all been looking forward to will now begin. Everyone, quickly grab your fishing rods. Whether we have good food for lunch today depends on you all."
"Alright!"
The crowd responded, each taking out their fishing rods and setting them up.
Old Man Wang had wanted to fish as soon as he got on the boat, but various things kept happening, preventing him from fishing in peace. Now he could finally start.
"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hu, grab your gear. Let's get started." Old Man Wang had taken on these few "disciples" when he arrived. As he spoke, he quickly took out a giant sea rod from his prepared hand-pulled fishing rod bag.
"Old Man Wang, that's a big one you have there." Bai Ma Shan exclaimed, looking at the fishing rod in Old Man Wang's hand.
"Xiao Bai, you're truly a newbie. When fishing in the sea, you definitely need to use sea fishing tools. The one you're holding is a freshwater fishing rod, used for platform fishing. Even I don't use those anymore." Old Man Wang's face, already reddened by the sun, flushed even more with color. He looked smugly at Bai Ma Shan and Hu Si Xiang, who was behind Bai Ma Shan, also holding a platform fishing rod.
"I'm enlightened. I didn't realize there was so much to learn about fishing." Bai Ma Shan and Old Hu surrounded Old Man Wang, only then noticing that his equipment was indeed different from theirs.
"This sinker, 120 grams. Without such a heavy sinker, the bait won't sink to the bottom immediately. Yours are completely useless. Never mind, use mine. I brought extra rods." As Old Man Wang spoke, he took out several rods.
One group was enthusiastically fishing by the side of the boat, while another group, like Lu Mao Wang and Zhao Di, had no interest in fishing and were just waiting to eat what others caught.
Seeing Gong Dalong taking photos, Lili, eager to show her face at headquarters, jumped at the chance, enthusiastically helping the homeowners participating in the activity to set up their rods, attach bait, and spread fish feed. In short, she wanted to ensure that her busy figure was visible in every photo.
Wen Jun didn't want to join in the hustle and bustle. When everyone went to tour the yacht after boarding, she helped the homeowners divide up the rooms and carry their luggage, missing the tour. When the boat was moving, the waves were too rough, so she could only stay in one spot on the deck. Now that the boat was stopped at sea, she didn't want to compete with Lili for the chance to show her face, so she decided to explore the boat herself.
After all, she would be staying here for two days and one night, so she should at least get a good understanding of the specific structure and escape routes.
It had to be said that An-jie's boat was indeed very luxurious, with two decks and luxurious cabins inside. From the top down, there was the bridge, the dining and entertainment area, and the sleeping quarters in the hull.
There was a spacious lounge area at the stern, with a tiered design and two rows of huge, comfortable, waterproof beige leather sofas. The deck was an external waterproof and anti-corrosion wooden walkway that ran from both sides of the hull to the platform at the bow.
The platform at the bow was flat and suitable for sightseeing. Opening the tea-colored glass passage door directly below the captain's cabin led to the interior of the hull, where one could see the sofa area at the stern at a glance. The stairs to the side led to the captain's cabin, while the stairs down were very spacious, leading to the lower-level sleeping quarters.
"Sigh, if I could afford to buy a yacht like this, my life would be worth it." Lu Mao Wang and Old Hu had followed her over at some point. Lu Mao Wang stood in front of the stairs inside the cabin, took off his sunglasses, and rolled his eyes dramatically, his expression exaggerated. https:/
"Having a goal gives you motivation. Mr. Lu, if you work hard, you'll get there." Jia Wen Jun tried not to look him in the eyes when she spoke.
Anna had bought the boat to show off in the first place, and had already taken people on a tour. Seeing Jia Wen Jun and the others looking again, she rushed over to start introducing it.
After talking about a bunch of features, she finally returned to the lounge area.
Those who weren't fishing were sitting here watching TV and playing on their phones. Zhao Di was also broadcasting live here. Jia Wen Jun simply walked out to check on Da Huang on the deck.
Anna adopted the posture of a hostess. "On my boat, everyone should feel at home. Make yourselves comfortable and don't be shy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and saw a scratch on the sofa behind Teacher Lin. Nao Nao, who was sitting next to her, was still constantly picking at the hole in the scratch with his fingers.
The scratch was very peculiar, as if a saw had rolled over the surface, which immediately reminded Anna of the scratch on her car parked in the community. When the child turned around from Teacher Lin's arms with the toy in his hand, the cowboy doll in the child's hand directly solved the case of the scratch.
It was the spurs on the cowboy doll's boots that had caused the scratch.
Anna frowned. She knew that this yacht was an imported item she had spent 30 million on. Nao Nao's scratch would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to repair.
Combined with the scratch on her car before, Anna's anger surged.
She was about to scold him when the voice of the temple abbot seemed to echo in her ears again, repeatedly reminding her to be calm and enjoy herself with the people.
Anna felt a surge of frustration in her chest. She could only stammer and stutter, trying to dissipate her anger.
"An-jie, what's wrong?" Lili, who had no tact after taking the photos, couldn't understand why Anna was acting this way.
Anna rolled her eyes inwardly and glanced at Manager Gong.
Manager Gong was more astute and immediately knew the reason. He told Lili to quickly take Nao Nao to play on the deck. Lili was a little confused. She didn't want to go out in the sun with the naughty child, but she didn't dare disobey Manager Gong's orders, so she reluctantly took Nao Nao out.
Manager Gong leaned in. "An-jie, that child is ignorant. I'll talk to Old Hu and the others about it later."
"It's nothing, it's just bad luck. Amitabha, Amitabha." Anna waved her hand, simply preferring to ignore it.
After appeasing Anna, Manager Gong had just stepped onto the deck when Lili complained to him about the sun being too strong, making her tanned.
Manager Gong was a little annoyed and lowered his voice. "Can't you be more observant? That naughty child damaged something. Couldn't you have kept an eye on him?"
"Manager Gong, I have to take photos and liven up the atmosphere. I don't have three heads and six arms. How can I manage everything by myself? Why don't you ask Jia Wen Jun to do it? She's just using the excuse of looking after the dog to slack off." Lili felt wronged, squinting at Jia Wen Jun, who was teasing the dog at the stern, her heart filled with hatred.
Gong Dalong had originally brought Jia Wen Jun to do work, but he didn't expect her to be the most leisurely. Gong Dalong was also annoyed. Using the excuse of handing out bottled water, he came to Jia Wen Jun's side and said in a strange tone, "Xiao Jia, we can't just cook one side of the pancake, can we? You're a member of our property management team, after all. Although you're a homeowner, you should still help out, don't you think?"
"I'm going fishing now." Jia Wen Jun hadn't been idle since she boarded the boat, and anyone with eyes could see that. But she didn't want to argue with Gong Dalong. If someone wants to accuse you, they can always find a reason. She got up and left.
There was limited space on the boat, but the people she didn't want to deal with were everywhere. It was truly a luxury to find a place to be quiet for a while.
