153: Clear boundaries, the rules of the game on the ship

Shen Aoshuang is the General Manager of the heavenly river, a five-star cruise ship, managing 800 staff members on board.

Crew members, chefs, engineers, security, and servers—from the inside out, she is fully responsible for everything.

Everyone in every position reports to her.

With a construction cost exceeding 5 billion and an annual turnover of over 3 billion, this cruise ship is equivalent to a large, mobile listed company.

Therefore, Shen Aoshuang has seen all kinds of wealthy people.

Especially on this ship, which is a favorite leisure and entertainment venue for big shots from all walks of life.

But this was the first time Shen Aoshuang felt curious about a wealthy person.

It's no wonder.

Someone so young yet so wealthy, and not a scion of any prestigious family.

It was as if his wealth had appeared out of thin air.

How could she not be curious?

However, Shen Aoshuang didn't have time to think too much.

Her private phone rang.

She picked up the phone and saw it was a big shot in Jiangcheng with a net worth of over 50 billion.

"Manager Shen, I heard the best suite has been booked?"

"That's right, boss. It is indeed no longer available for sale."

Shen Aoshuang replied.

"Who is it that could make you take the room off the market so far in advance?"

The person on the other end was also very curious.

"I'm sorry, I cannot disclose that!"

Shen Aoshuang insisted on her professional bottom line.

She would never say a word about things that shouldn't be disclosed.

What's more, the one who wanted the room was her own boss.

"Alright, it seems I really didn't guess wrong. A super big shot must be boarding the ship!"

The boss on the other end asked, "Then what rooms are available now?"

"Boss, there are currently a few third-class rooms left."

"Third-class rooms?" The boss was clearly surprised. "Can't a net worth of 50 billion even get me priority treatment? Are the tickets for this trip that hard to get? In the past, even if I couldn't get a special-class room, I could at least get a first-class one."

"I'm sorry, there really are only third-class rooms left," Shen Aoshuang replied.

She didn't care if he was worth hundreds of billions.

The Presidential Suite was for the boss.

First-class rooms were also reserved for the boss's friends.

Others could only book from second-class rooms at best.

"Fine then, third-class it is."

The person on the other end had to accept it.

Rumors were spreading this time that a giant big shot would appear on the ship.

Such an opportunity is not something you encounter often.

Various powerful people reveal their true nature on a cruise ship at sea, where they are beyond control.

Besides being able to recklessly play with things they wouldn't dare to on land.

More importantly, the occasional appearance of a few giant big shots on the ship is a great opportunity for integrating business resources.

There is a myth circulating in the industry.

Some companies on the verge of bankruptcy saw their owners board the ship, and upon returning, the company was fully revived.

No one knows who they connected with.

In any case, it's very magical.

Therefore, many people booking these tickets aren't necessarily just for fun.

Meeting mysterious big shots in restaurants, dance halls, or card rooms is also what they look forward to.

Whether or not they catch anything, it's worth a shot.

After Shen Aoshuang processed this third-class ticket.

All the guest rooms on the ship were mostly booked, with not many left.

The tickets are divided into five classes.

The special class is the Presidential Suite, the first class is the executive suite, and the second class is standard suites.

Third-class rooms are high-end standard rooms.

Fourth-class rooms are standard rooms with windows.

Even the fifth-class interior cabins without windows had long been sold out.

Subsequently, she rubbed her temples and looked outside the ship.

Through the porthole, she saw a long line of young women dressed to the nines boarding the ship one after another on the pier.

"So many people?"

Shen Aoshuang found it a bit strange.

The number of people was double that of previous trips.

They were all here to perform on the ship.

Before boarding, they all had to register their personal information.

Moreover, they had to hand over their mobile phones, watches, and any devices with recording or camera functions.

They would get them back after disembarking.

This was to protect the privacy of those on board and prevent leaks.

As for why they were doing this, Shen Aoshuang didn't want to ask too much.

However, it was rare for the number of people to be this high.

"Next."

On the pier, the person in charge of registration shouted.

Several young girls walked forward and handed over their phones.

Then they took a form to register.

In the "Occupation" column, they each filled in "Dancer", "DJ", "Tea Artiste".

After filling it out, they were allowed to pass.

They walked towards the ship.

Looking at the magnificent heavenly river, they couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.

"Wow, this is the heavenly river!"

"Seeing this cruise ship with my own eyes feels like a dream!"

"It's just too luxurious! How can there be such a wonderful thing in the world!"

"I can't wait for the upcoming journey!"

The young women boarding the ship chatted excitedly.

"I heard that the cruise ship has every form of entertainment you can think of: tennis courts, swimming pools, bars, gyms, and even an indoor theme park."

"I've seen it countless times online, I didn't expect to actually be on it today. Maybe I'll even run into my Mr. Right!"

"Oh my, I feel like I'm in the movie Titanic!"

"Pfft, don't say that. It's bad luck!"

Their faces were young, and they were full of fresh excitement for the luxurious heavenly river.

"Look, another batch of new girls is boarding. They are truly beautiful."

On the lower deck of the heavenly river, in several rooms near the pier.

Someone saw a line of young women boarding the ship, their eyes filled with amazement.

"If these were in any school, they would be at the campus belle level. Truly a feast for the eyes."

"So what if they are campus belles? On this ship, they are at the very bottom of the food chain."

"Who said that? Aren't the lowest ones us crew members working here?"

"That's true. But as long as we can earn a salary, it's fine. The salary Manager Shen pays us every month is not low."

"Manager Shen is just managing things on behalf of the boss; the money belongs to the boss."

"Speaking of the boss, have you heard? The owner of the heavenly river has changed."

A group of crew members went from talking about campus belles to the boss.

"How could it change? I haven't heard any news about it at all."

"Transactions among the upper echelons are top secret. By the time we crew members know about it, it's already the final result."

"Sigh, you can't compare. This is the world of the wealthy! Even on a single ship, the hierarchy can be so strict."

"Alright, stop chatting. Hurry up and rest. We have to prepare for the final work before the ship sets sail at dawn."

It was already late at night.

They were still eager for more, feeling that this trip seemed like it would be even more special.

At this time, Shen Aoshuang was also walking towards the Presidential Suite, which was surrounded by the sea on three sides, to see how the staff had cleaned the room.

Boss Zhang Yu would be boarding the ship soon, so there could be no mistakes.
