50: Going to sea

“President Qian, I’ve brought the twin sisters you asked for. When would be a good time for you?”

Under the influence of alcohol, Shadow drunkenly asked Li Youqian.

“Bring them onto the ship tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

“Brother Wang, how are the yacht preparations coming along?”

“Li Youqian, everything is ready. Once your friends arrive, we can set sail.”

Brother Wang, whose real name is Wang Zhiyuan, served in the navy for twelve years. After retiring, he became a captain on private yachts. Li Youqian spent a fortune to poach him.

Li Youqian had dismissed all the previous crew because he didn’t trust foreigners.

“Good. Tell the crew what they should and shouldn’t do. They need to be clear about it.”

For a gathering of this level, some details naturally couldn’t be revealed to outsiders.

But Dilbar was simply too large; it couldn’t be operated without a crew.

And their daily needs, like food and accommodation, also required care.

“Don’t worry, I understand everything.”

Wang Zhiyuan was already accustomed to these matters; it wasn't his first time being a captain.

“Alright, you can go busy yourself then. I’ll notify you when it’s time to set sail.”

“Understood, Li Youqian. I’ll head to the ship now.”

After Wang Zhiyuan left, Qing Jie turned to Li Youqian and said with a smile:

“Your captain is indeed excellent. Where did you find him?”

“I poached him for two million.”

After about ten minutes, Shadow and the old man arrived, accompanied by the two twins.

“How about it, President Qian? Am I generous enough?”

Shadow chuckled as he approached Li Youqian.

He had stumbled upon these two twins by chance. They were working as hostesses at a KTV and were being harassed and molested. He happened to pass by and casually rescued them.

He never expected them to bring him such a surprise!

These were excellent gifts. Shadow suppressed the urge to take them for himself and had kept them until now.

(Although this kind of thing is, well, that, it’s also a matter of mutual consent, like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai—one willing to hit, the other willing to be hit.)

These two girls didn’t mind either. They were women who liked money to begin with, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to work as hostesses at a KTV.

The reason they had remained pure was simply that they hadn’t encountered enough leverage.

They were very clear about their own advantages.

This time, Shadow gave each of them one million, and if they performed well, they would each receive an additional million afterward.

They might not even earn two million working as hostesses for ten years!

Moreover, they got a free ride on a luxury yacht. This deal was a guaranteed profit!

“Brother Li, look at the carefully selected harem I’ve brought for you!”

Li Youqian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Yushen approaching with more than a dozen stunning beauties.

“Goodness, Brother Zhou, that’s quite a grand gesture!”

Any one of these women, if picked out, would be a campus belle. Li Youqian had no idea where Zhou Yushen found them.

“Sigh, Shanghai lacks everything except beautiful women.”

This was true. As one of the few international metropolises in the country, many people liked to come here to seek development.

With more people, there was naturally no shortage of beautiful women.

“Are they safe?”

Li Youqian was very particular about safety. Although the system had said there would be no problems, he dared not gamble!

“Don’t worry. I watched them undergo full body examinations. They are all safe.”

Not only was Li Youqian concerned, but Zhou Yushen was also very particular about safety, so he personally supervised the medical examinations throughout the process.

“That’s good then. I trust Brother Zhou. Shall we board the ship?”

“Alright, let’s board!”

“Boss, except for the four guests, everyone’s phones have been collected, and their bodies have been checked. There are no recording or video devices.”

After setting sail, Wang Zhiyuan quietly approached Li Youqian and reported.

“Well done, Brother Wang. You can go busy yourself now. If you see any girl you like, just tell me.”

Li Youqian had always been quite generous to his own people. Trading a woman for the loyalty of his subordinates was a worthwhile deal.

Anyway, there were only four men among them.

“No need for that, boss. I have a family.”

Thinking of the shrew at home, Wang Zhiyuan smiled wryly.

“It’s fine. No one on the ship will know. What are you afraid of?”

“Boss, you don’t understand the pain of Sichuan men.”

Ah, so he was from Sichuan. No wonder~

That’s how henpecked men are~

“Wow, Li Youqian, you’re amazing! You can even catch such a big fish!”

“Is this a tuna? Why is it blue??”

There was no signal at sea, so Li Youqian, feeling bored, took out his sea fishing rod and started fishing.

Although he often came up empty-handed on land, it was different at sea. As the saying goes, sea fish are relatively foolish, so he frequently caught something.

The two twins accompanied him, one on his left and one on his right, enjoying themselves immensely~

“Oh, President Qian, are you done with your business?”

Seeing Li Youqian emerge from the room, Qing Jie crossed her arms and sneered.

“Qing Jie, why do you like to contradict me so much?”

“Could it be that you’re jealous?!”

Ever since they met, Qing Jie had become increasingly fond of contradicting him.

As the saying goes, hitting is affection, scolding is love. Only when someone likes you will they care about your every move.

“Though you’re ugly, you sure dream big~”

Qing Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy, besides being stingy, was also extremely narcissistic!

“Then why are you so focused on me?”

“Where’s your little Zhouzhou? Isn’t he with you?”

Speaking of this, Qing Jie looked resentful.

Ever since Zhou Yushen boarded the ship, he had been entangled with those flirtatious women.

She hadn’t even found an opportunity!

“Sigh, don’t even mention it. It’s probably hopeless.”

Indeed, he was a young master from a wealthy family. Why would he care about her?

“There’s one thing I don’t understand. Although Brother Zhou is indeed handsome, why are you all so infatuated with him?”

Li Youqian had always been puzzled by this. According to common sense, it shouldn’t be like this!

“Sister, I’m already 30.”

“My family is pressing me hard to get married.”

“I don’t like ordinary people, and I don’t like rich but ugly ones either.”

“So… you understand.”

30?

Qing Jie was very well-maintained. Although not exceptionally beautiful, she was at least an 8 out of 10.

Li Youqian really couldn’t tell that Qing Jie was 30 years old.

“Uh… that’s true. That’s how it is with wealthy families.”

Arranged marriages and political marriages are indeed common.

Love between people from different social strata is simply impossible.

Those stories of young men meeting domineering Female CEOs are just capital used to deceive people…

In reality, the two people’s values and spending habits are not on the same level at all, and they wouldn’t have any connection.

Because the weaker party simply doesn’t have the qualifications to even know the other person!

If you don’t even know each other, how can sparks of love fly?

“Sigh, I wish you good luck.”

Li Youqian didn’t know what to say. He might as well go back to his room and continue sleeping.

“Be careful not to work yourself to death, you bastard!”
