Chapter 239 Reunion with an Acquaintance
“My friends are all here, but they’re too shy to come,” Yan Yu replied immediately.
The worker looked around, seemingly searching for the remaining people.
Yan Yu then turned to look at the tomb raiders and waved to them.
Everyone was stunned by Yan Yu's actions.
"What does he mean by this? Does he want us to pass?" one of the tomb raiders asked.
"That should be it. Never mind, let's go there first."
So, everyone stopped worrying about it and started getting up one after another and heading in that direction.
The worker was surprised to see so many people.
"So many people! Did you come as a group?" a worker asked.
Yan Yu smiled but didn't say anything.
At this moment, several other workers on the construction site came over and also noticed Yan Yu and his group.
"Xiao Li!" someone called out to the worker who was talking to Yan Yu.
The man called Xiao Li immediately turned around and waved at them.
"Come here quickly," Xiao Li shouted to them.
So the workers all came over, looking at Yan Yu and his group with a probing gaze. They hesitated, not asking any questions, just looking at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li then introduced them: "They came to this island to play. Isn't it strange? You didn't expect to see other people besides our construction workers on this island."
Hearing what Xiao Li said, those people were somewhat surprised.
"Want to come to this island for fun?"
"Yes, I really didn't expect you to have been on this island for so long?"
Listening to their words, the tomb raiders replied one by one: "We've almost forgotten how long we've been on the island, it's been a long time anyway."
Shen Jin nodded as well.
He couldn't remember how long it had been.
"And what about you? What are you doing on this island? Is there construction going on here?" After a while, Yan Yu asked.
"We're just employees, we'll get paid, anyway, it's a big company that wants to develop this island," Xiao Li replied.
Hearing Xiao Li's answer, Yan Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Developing this island shows a good business sense.
Then, the tomb raiders started chatting with them.
After listening for a while, Yan Yu came to Shen Jin's side again. Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu but didn't say anything. No matter when, Yan Yu would always come to his side, just like a tail that he couldn't shake off.
He was too tired to even mention Yan Yu anymore.
He won't change even if I tell him, and I'll still have to repeat myself next time. I'm already tired of saying it to him.
While chatting, the workers kept looking around and even moved to a secluded spot to talk with the tomb raiders, acting like thieves.
"Are you afraid of being caught slacking off?" one of the tomb raiders, who had seen through everything, asked.
Xiao Li immediately laughed: "Yes, our foreman is very fierce, we don't dare to mess with him, so we can't chat with you for too long, we have to go back to work soon."
"It's alright, it's alright," Shen Jin quickly said.
They were the ones who came to disturb these workers.
"It's that foreman again, he's so fierce." Xiao Li couldn't help but complain about his foreman when he mentioned this.
At this moment, another worker immediately added, "He's just putting on an act in front of us. He wouldn't dare say a word in front of Boss Bai."
Upon hearing the words "President Bai," both Shen Jin and Yan Yu were momentarily stunned.
Without prior arrangement, both of them thought of Bai Yujin. It wasn't that they were being overly suspicious, but rather that they had been bitten by a snake once and were now afraid of a rope for ten years.
Moreover, they had all met Bai Yujin before coming to this island.
So this is almost a subconscious thought.
"President Bai?" Shen Jin asked in confusion.
“Yes, he’s the biggest investor in developing this island. He’s basically the most powerful person there, and we all listen to him,” Xiao Li nodded in response.
Hearing Xiao Li's explanation, Shen Jin subconsciously turned to look at Yan Yu and found that Yan Yu was also looking over, and their eyes met.
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly looked away.
"Weren't you two about to talk? Why did you stop?" One of the tomb raiders glanced at Shen Jin and Yan Yu's actions and teased them with a smile.
Completely disregarding Chen Jin's embarrassment.
Shen Jin immediately coughed twice.
"What's your CEO's name?" Although he knew it was unlikely, Yan Yu still asked.
"What was it called again... I can't remember." Xiao Li frowned as he thought.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's question, Shen Jin paused slightly, then looked at Yan Yu again.
"You don't also think it's Bai Yujin, do you?" Shen Jin asked.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and nodded.
The tomb raiders were completely bewildered by the conversation between the two.
"Who? Bai Yujin?" one of the tomb raiders asked bluntly.
Before Shen Jin could answer, Xiao Li suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, it's Bai Yujin! So you know our CEO Bai!"
In an instant, Shen Jin, Yan Yu, and the tomb raiders all fell silent, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.
The workers, however, were still completely unaware of what had happened and remained utterly bewildered.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Li asked, puzzled.
One of the tomb raiders suddenly patted Yan Yu on the shoulder: "Impressive! Are you acquainted with that CEO Bai?"
Hearing the tomb raider's question, Yan Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.
The tomb raider looked at Shen Jin again, but Shen Jin didn't say anything. This made the tomb raider excited.
If Shen Jin reacted this way, it means that they must be acquainted with that person named Bai Yujin.
So the tomb raiders started joking, "So you're that powerful? You know such an important person?"
The workers were also stunned.
If we go by what that tomb raider said, then the two of them are acquaintances of President Bai. Since they are acquaintances of President Bai, then the two of them must be some kind of important figures.
The workers' gazes towards the two of them immediately changed, and the two men felt a headache coming on.
"So, we had no idea what you guys did before, or if you were some kind of powerful figures. Otherwise, how would you know Boss Bai?" one of the tomb raiders suddenly asked gossipingly.
They had never inquired about Shen Jin and Yan Yu's past before, but now they suddenly became interested.
When the workers learned that they knew Bai Yujin, they immediately felt that they had neglected them.
"Are you friends of General Manager Bai? We're so sorry, we didn't know that," one of the workers quickly said.
"No, no, that won't happen," Shen Jin quickly replied.
At this moment, one of the tomb raiders bumped into Shen Jin's shoulder: "Quickly tell me, what were your identities before?"
"No, we just knew Bai Yujin before, but we haven't been in contact for a long time." Shen Jin didn't explain his identity, he just said it casually.
At this moment, Shen Jin's feelings were somewhat complicated.
I thought that would be the last time I saw Bai Yujin, but I never expected to run into him again on this island.
Seeing that Shen Jin did not answer, everyone turned to look at Yan Yu.
“Don’t look at me like that. Just like Shen Jin said, and Bai Yujin and I are not friends.” Yan Yu replied directly.
There's absolutely no way he and Bai Yujin can get along well; he gets annoyed just seeing Bai Yujin.
By this time, the workers were already quite agitated: "We really didn't expect you to have that kind of relationship with President Bai. We've really failed to provide adequate hospitality."
"It's really okay, we didn't expect it to be Bai Yujin either," Shen Jin quickly replied.
Then, the tomb raider asked again, "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to see that Boss Bai?"
Since they were acquaintances, it would be good to meet them, but they couldn't figure out what Chen Jin and Yan Yu's attitudes were, so they asked first.
Hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin thought about it carefully, while Yan Yu looked indifferent, since he didn't want to see Bai Yujin anyway.
"So what are you thinking? Are you going to see him, or are we just going to leave quietly and wander around for a while longer?" the tomb raider continued to ask.
Yan Yu had no objections, so he turned to Shen Jin and said, "You decide. Do you want to see Bai Yujin?"
Even after asking the question, Yan Yu was still a little nervous.
Although he outwardly said he didn't care, he actually hoped that Shen Jin would refuse to see Bai Yujin; this was Yan Yu's little selfish wish.
Knowing that Yan Yu was definitely listening to Shen Jin, the tomb raiders all turned to look at Shen Jin.
Shen Jin thought about it for a long time and struggled with it in his heart.
In the end, Shen Jin decided to go see Bai Yujin. After all, it had been so long since they last met, and he also felt a little guilty towards Bai Yujin.
So, Shen Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Yu.
"Then let's go see him. It's been so long since we last saw each other," Chen Jin said.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's answer, Yan Yu felt a slight pang of disappointment, a bitter feeling welling up inside him, but he didn't show it on his face.
For some reason, Yan Yu was extremely jealous of Bai Yujin.
If Shen Jin hadn't seen him for a long time, he certainly wouldn't have thought of calling him.
“In that case, let’s go see Bai Yujin.” Upon hearing Shen Jin’s words, the tomb raider who had asked the question earlier spoke up directly.
"Okay." Yan Yu nodded in agreement.
Then, he glanced at Shen Jin, pursed his lips, and didn't show his jealousy on his face. He couldn't compare to Bai Yujin.
Hearing their words, the workers became agitated.
"Are you going to see President Bai?" Xiao Li asked.
“Yes, we want to see him. Do you know where he is?” Shen Jin nodded and asked.
“We don’t know exactly where Mr. Bai is. He only comes over occasionally to check on the work,” Xiao Li replied after thinking for a moment.
