This novel avoids pretentiousness and revenge tropes, focusing purely on entrepreneurship, daily routines, emotional bonds, and family ties.

The ship was much slower than the yacht, and the ship that Dong Yuhan was on docked at the pier in the middle of the night.
Dong Yuhan started the car, followed the flow of traffic off the ship, drove out of the island's dock, and onto the island's highway towards the villa at the foot of the mountain.
After the offshore hydroelectric power station started operating, all the streetlights on the island were turned on, and they were turned on at night and off at dawn. Vehicles could not use their high beams at all when driving on the road at night, so Dong Yuhan reached out and turned on the low beams.
Back at the villa, neither Li Yuzhu nor Dong Sanmei slept; neither of them could sleep until the child returned.
Dong Sanmei said, "Are you all hungry?"
Dong Yuhan said, "We had some dinner by the sea tonight, and we're actually feeling a bit hungry."
Li Yuzhu said, "I know you're hungry, so I've prepared some food for you. Go to the dining room and eat."
After listening to her mother's words, Dong Yuhan nodded and took her younger brother, sister and cousin to the restaurant for dinner.
The second day was the first day of the National Day holiday. This year, the National Day holiday lasted seven days, giving public officials ample time for travel.
Yesterday's visitors were mostly from nearby areas. Visitors from farther away couldn't make it today. Even those who could come were passengers who arrived by plane. The peak tourist season on the island is expected to be from the 3rd to the 4th.
After breakfast, Dong Sanmei held an emergency meeting and assigned most of the security guards to patrol the beach, with each person carrying a handheld megaphone to maintain safety.
In addition, an emergency medical center and an emergency rescue center were established.
The lack of a hospital on the island is a major drawback.
There are several private clinics and two pharmacies on the island, so there is no shortage of medicine.
However, they can treat minor illnesses, but they are completely incapable of treating sudden emergencies.
The emergency center has several speedboats, which can transport tourists with sudden illnesses to land-based hospitals as quickly as possible.
In addition, during holidays, several medical experts from the hospital will be invited to the island so that seriously ill patients can receive treatment as soon as possible. After their condition is controlled, they can be transported by speedboat to a hospital on the mainland for treatment.
The emergency rescue center has more than a dozen speedboats. Once it receives a rescue call from the beach patrol security guards or tourists, it will rush to the scene of the accident in a speedboat as soon as possible.
This is an island, not mainland. The two islands are surrounded by the sea, which inherently presents many safety risks.
During holidays, Dongqing attaches great importance to these two tasks. After May Day, he purchased dozens of speedboats, which are mainly used for safety rescue on the islands.
A safety rescue team has been established on the island for several months, and two professional instructors have been hired to train the team members in rescue skills at sea every day.
When developing tourism on an island, the safety of tourists must be the top priority. This is something that cannot be ignored. Safety is Dongqing's biggest concern.
The pier on Fengtai Island has been built, and construction teams are currently working on roads and other infrastructure on the island. It is not suitable for tourism during the National Day holiday, so Fengtai Island remains closed.
After the meeting, Dongqing said, "Third sister, what I'm most worried about on the island is medical care. You need to hurry up with the hospital construction site. We'll be welcoming a large number of tourists this Spring Festival, and the medical facilities must be operational before the new year."
After the Chinese New Year this year, Dong Sanmei began to work on the construction of the hospital. The hospital is divided into two phases. The construction team was given only ten months for the first phase, which mainly consists of the outpatient building.
The second phase of the project is the inpatient building. The inpatient building is quite tall and the project is very large. Although the outpatient and inpatient buildings started construction at the same time, they were completed in two phases. It is unrealistic to complete such a large project as the inpatient building by the end of the year.
Once the hospital outpatient department resumes normal operations, Dong Qing will no longer be worried. Once the condition of critically ill patients is under control, they can be transferred to the land-based hospital for further treatment.
Dong Sanmei said, "The hospital's outpatient building will be officially put into use in January. I will start recruiting doctors and nurses and purchasing medical equipment after the holiday."
Developing an island tourism business is no easy task. Despite the glamorous and profitable ventures, it involves a great deal of work that needs to be done properly. Tourists only see the owner's success in the tourism industry, but they don't know how much money and effort he has put in behind the scenes.
The predictions for the Dongqing Festival were spot on; the peak tourist season took place from October 2nd to 4th.
Many wealthy people drive their cars to the islands, taking them directly by boat. Now, cars are everywhere on both islands.
Meanwhile, hotels and resorts are fully booked, and there is a clear shortage of accommodation.
Now we can only expose the problems and immediately start to solve them.
Dongqing said, "Third Sister: 'After the holiday, we'll hire a construction company to build one more hotel and two resorts. They'll give the hotel a maximum of two years to complete, but the two resorts must be operational by October next year.'"
The island has already seen such a large number of tourists in its first year of operation; it's impossible to estimate how many tourists it will attract next year.
Dongqing and her third sister went to check out the hot spring lake and the cave. The hot spring lake was huge, and the water was full of men and women in swimsuits. The proportion of women was much greater than that of men; two-thirds of the people soaking in the hot spring were women.
The pavilions on the artificial hill were packed with people, filled with girls, beauties, and young men in swimsuits.
Afterwards, I drove to the beach and saw that the beach was full of tourists, and there was a queue of tourists going out to sea to take a yacht.
There are many safety issues involved. Dongqing does not allow private yachts to operate on the island. If they were allowed, the sea would probably be full of yachts.
The several medium and small yachts operating along the beach are all owned by the company.
The two sisters then drove down the mountain, got out of the car, and looked at the hilltop on the opposite island.
The two islands' peaks face each other off on the coast, so the two mountains are very close to each other across the sea. Dong Qing said, "There's about 1300 meters between the two islands' mountainsides, and the height is about 60 meters or more. We plan to build a sea roller coaster here."
Dongqing then told her third sister some details.
There are mineral deposits on the mountain of the opposite island. In the future, tourists will be able to ride a roller coaster halfway up the mountain on this island, but they will not be allowed to stop on the other island and will return directly after the roller coaster ride.
On the opposite island, at the foot of the mountain, make a breach in the wall at the location where the roller coaster is installed, and then build an isolation wall to completely separate the roller coaster location from other areas. That opposite mountain will always be a forbidden area, and no one may enter it at will.
The main construction work on the opposite hillside, where the roller coaster tracks are fixed, is not extensive. The majority of the work is done on the mountaintop itself, while the hillside is where tourists get on and off the ride.
Dong Qing said, "We'll start installing the roller coaster right after the holiday, and it should be ready for use around next spring."
Dong Sanmei said, "Okay, I'll contact the roller coaster machinery factory after the holiday. I'll have their technicians come to conduct an on-site inspection first, and then I'll pay the deposit for installation."
In this day and age, as long as you have money, any business is easy to do. You can get it installed with just a phone call, and all you have to do is wait for the inspection and pay. The boss really doesn't have to worry about that. Just prepare the money for them and you don't have to worry about anything else.
