184: Chapter 185 The Little Boat!

In the mooring area, a few yachts were docked sporadically. They looked quite impressive, but in front of Jiang Jing's "heart of the ocean," they instantly turned into small skiffs, completely eclipsed.

When that 135-meter-long behemoth fully presented itself before everyone's eyes, they all gasped, involuntarily stopping in their tracks, looking up with faces full of shock!

The streamlined, pure white hull gleamed under the sunlight; despite its massive size, it didn't look clumsy at all, but rather full of modernity and power.

The multi-level decks were arranged in an orderly fashion, and one could even see a small swimming pool, a helipad, and various leisure facilities on them.

How could this be a yacht? This was clearly a small luxury cruise ship!

"Oh... my god..." Nazha covered her small mouth, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"This... this is just too big and too luxurious!" Zhu Xudan muttered to herself.

Although Leng Ba and Tong Liya had heard Jiang Jing mention it, seeing the "small boat" he spoke of with their own eyes still had an immense impact.

Even the well-traveled Wang Congcong was stunned by the scale and grandeur of this giant yacht.

Chen He and Lin Gengxin gaped, unable to close their mouths for a long time.

The few internet celebrities were staring blankly, their breathing quickening.

A trace of surprise also flashed in District Mayor Zhao Wenhao's eyes, which then turned into appreciation and emotion.

No wonder Jiang Jing asked to invite more people; with such a large yacht, if it were only the few of them, it would indeed seem empty, and perhaps even... a waste?

At this moment, the yacht's gangway was lowered. A middle-aged man in a crisp captain's uniform with a steady temperament led several crew members, also in matching uniforms, as they walked down quickly to arrive in front of Jiang Jing and bowed respectfully:

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Jiang! I am Robert, the captain of the 'heart of the ocean,' and it is a pleasure to serve you! All crew members are ready, and we can set sail at any time!"

Jiang Jing nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Robert. It's my first time here as well, so I'll take the opportunity to get familiar with it along with everyone else! Everyone, don't just stand there, let's get on board!"

Under the guidance of the crew, everyone stepped onto this sea palace with excitement and curiosity.

Once inside, they were overwhelmed by the extreme luxury.

The high-ceilinged hall had a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging from the dome, and the floor was covered with soft, expensive Persian carpets.

The furniture consisted entirely of top-tier Italian custom brands; leather sofas and coffee tables and bars made of precious wood could be seen everywhere.

The walls were decorated with modern art paintings, and exquisite sculptures were placed in the corners.

Captain Robert smiled and introduced from the side: "This is the main living room, and over there is the formal dining room, which can accommodate 50 people for dining at the same time."

"On the lower deck, there is a cinema, a spa center, a Gym, and a wine cellar stocked with numerous world-famous wines..."

"The top deck features an open-air swimming pool and a sunbathing area, and the helipad can accommodate the takeoff and landing of small and medium-sized helicopters... All rooms are equipped with intelligent control systems..."

Everyone listened while marveling, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The joker Chen He leaned over to Jiang Jing's side, smiling, and asked in an exaggerated tone: "President Jiang, this yacht... is too awesome! How much did this cost? It definitely wasn't cheap, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing rubbed his chin, revealing a "Versailles-style" humble-brag smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, this? It's alright, not too expensive. I remember the selling price was... 450 million USD?"

Silence! A deathly silence!

The living room, which had been full of exclamations just a moment ago, instantly fell silent.

450 million... USD?! Converted into RMB, that's over three billion!!!

Everyone was rendered speechless by Jiang Jing's nonchalant, extremely humble-bragging response!

The women all cast reproachful, eye-rolling glances at Jiang Jing; this guy was really too good at showing off!

Actually, what Jiang Jing said was not wrong; it wasn't expensive, and Jiang Jing hadn't even spent a penny...

Among the people present, except for those few internet celebrities, none of them were short of money; some even had net worths of hundreds of millions or even over a billion.

But at this moment, in front of this yacht worth over three billion, they couldn't help but feel a sense of "So, I am actually this poor."

Wang Congcong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Jiang Jing with a resentful expression of "looking at an obscenely rich person." He prided himself on playing hard, but compared to Jiang Jing, it pales in comparison!

Lin Gengxin and Chen He also looked at each other, shaking their heads with a bitter smile; this had already exceeded the scope of their imagination.

The eyes of those few internet celebrities had completely changed when looking at Jiang Jing; they were no longer looking at an ordinary rich man, but at a moving, glittering mountain of gold!

Their gazes were so fiery they could almost melt him.

Even District Mayor Zhao Wenhao, who was always steady and had seen his fair share of storms, was amused by Jiang Jing's "inhumanly wealthy" display and shook his head helplessly.

Although he didn't value material enjoyment that much, he had to silently marvel that the wealth represented by this yacht was truly astonishing.

Jiang Jing felt a bit creeped out by the extremely resentful, complex, and "looking at a non-human" gazes from everyone. He gave a dry laugh and, fearing he had stimulated them too much, quickly waved his hand, attempting to divert their attention:

"Anyway... Captain Robert! No need to introduce further, let's go, let's get this party started!"

...

The "heart of the ocean" broke through the azure sea surface and sailed toward the vast ocean.

The powerful propulsion system made the yacht move both fast and steadily, with almost no bumps felt.

The stern left a long white wake, the sea breeze brushed against their faces carrying a salty, damp scent, the sky was as blue as if it had been washed, and the sunlight spilled onto the deck; everything seemed so comfortable and beautiful.

Everyone was soon immersed in the novelty and excitement of being out at sea.

The few female stars and internet celebrities immediately started a crazy photo-taking mode.

With the luxurious interior as a background, and the vast, boundless sea as a background, they took photos from all angles and in all kinds of poses, wishing they could record every moment of enjoyment.

"Sister Mi, Sister Mi! Quickly help me take a picture, this angle looks super good!"

"Wow! This seascape is amazing! It comes with its own filter!"

"I'm going to post this on Moments to make them die of envy!"

The men were relatively calmer, gathering in the spacious lounge area, drinking iced beverages prepared by the crew, and chatting about everything under the sun.

From the latest bizarre gossip in the entertainment industry to funny things they had encountered recently, and then to various international news and situations...

The topics jumped around significantly, but the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Under Captain Robert's skillful steering, the yacht soon arrived at a pre-designated sea area with clear water, suitable for sea fishing.

The sound of the engines gradually faded, and the yacht slowly came to a stop, swaying gently with the soft ocean waves.

"Alright, we've arrived at the destination! Get ready to change clothes and get in the water!" Jiang Jing clapped his hands and announced.
