Chapter 125 I’ll save you first if you fall into the river!
The other players were all overjoyed.
Jian Yue directly arranged for these people to go out, but he would not let them take up their posts immediately. He just took a look at these people when he came in. Some of them had their eyes distracted and collapsed. Even if he let these people go immediately, they would still be confused, and even worried that someone was trying to harm them again.
It would be better to adopt the employment model to make them feel more at ease.
Jian Yue said, "Everyone has worked hard these days. Don't worry about joining the company. I will arrange it tomorrow. Everyone, please rest here tonight. I will arrange for someone to go to the kitchen to bring back some food. After everyone has rested, you will be assigned a lounge when you officially start work tomorrow. I have to excuse you for a moment."
The other players hurriedly said:
“No grievance!”
"As long as I can get out!"
"Thank you so much, Captain!"
“We will definitely work hard!”
Jian Yue smiled and walked over to shake hands with everyone one by one, as if he was a leader who had held a consolation meeting at the grassroots level. He patted everyone's hands and said, "I believe that your abilities will not let me down."
The other players were so moved that they wanted to go through fire and water for Jian Yue and burst into tears.
Wang Wenwen/Nangong Xi: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.
Everyone thought of countless possibilities but no one expected Jian Yue to be able to do such a thing. Not only did he get an official position for free, he even allowed all the players rescued from the basement to obtain official boarding status. These people will listen to him in the future and become official crew members!
The system popped up: "The current number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded 8956, and the reward points have been 2100 points. It is currently ranked 210th on the recommended position on the homepage of the live broadcast hall. Please keep up the good work!"
Jian Yue closed the panel. Since he was going to upgrade his cards, the more points he had, the better. Being popular in the anchor room was a very good thing for him.
"Now we need two people to go to the kitchen with me to get food." Jian Yue stood in the middle of the crowd and asked, "Who is willing to go?"
Although this question is asked to the public.
But most of the people detained here are newcomers. After being detained for so long, they are actually very spineless and scared.
Wang Wenwen immediately raised her hand and said, "Captain, we are willing to go."
Nangong Xi also quickly stood up.
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Come with me."
The three people went out one after another. It was already evening now. The sunset dyed most of the sky red. Seagulls flew over the sea level one after another, bringing vitality.
When she went out, feeling the warmth of the sea breeze and sunshine pouring down, Wang Wenwen couldn't hold back her tears.
Jian Yue turned around, looked at him and said, "Why are you crying?"
Wang Wenwen was a little speechless. He simply couldn't describe the moment when Jian Yue came in from outside. He even suspected that he was dreaming. He choked up and said, "No... I just feel a little bit unbelievable... I really..."
Jian Yue said: "Don't cry, take good care of yourself."
Wang Wenwen was even more moved, and felt that Steward Wang was truly a rare kind-hearted deity in the world. However, before he could get too happy, he heard Jian Yue say, "How can you work if you don't take good care of your health?"
“…”
You are worthy of being Butler Wang!!
Nangong Xi next to her was also happy. She said excitedly, "Butler Wang, how did you get in? I didn't expect that we could have another copy!"
Jian Yue briefly explained the reason why he came in.
Nangong Xi and Wang Wenwen are both newcomers, but after all, they have experienced Hope Island, so they are not completely ignorant. After Jian Yue’s words, they quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Wang Wenwen said: "But we have been locked up since we got on board. We haven't encountered anything at all. How come we were tricked?"
Jian Yue pushed up his glasses and said, "The enemy is in the dark and you are in the light. If all your enemies can be easily seen by you, then they can also be seen by the system. How can it be so simple?"
Nangong Xi said with some fear: "Then isn't our copy very dangerous?"
Jian Yue thought, is it just this copy? It sounds like there was no previous copy. Forget it. If I say it out loud, the girl will be startled, so I decided not to say it.
"There's no point in being afraid. Just complete the main quest." Jian Yue said as he walked, "As long as you complete the main quest and leave this instance, everything will be safe."
There is truth in this statement.
Wang Wenwen immediately said, "Butler Wang, is your main mission this time the same as ours? We are going to find out the secret of the miracle doctor."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Almost the same."
Wang Wenwen and Nangong Xi both breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was not like Hope Island, where they were divided into two camps. Otherwise, they would have really collapsed.
There were few people on this floor of the basement, which was a perfect place to discuss things. There was a small deck in front, so the three of them walked onto the deck and sat down on the chairs, finally able to properly compare the current clues.
Jian Yue said: "Did you find any information after entering this copy?"
Wang Wenwen quickly replied, "After we received the mission for this dungeon, we only knew that the owner of this ship was a big boss behind the Ji family, who seemed to be the protagonist's uncle. I heard that he was very mysterious and dangerous, but it's okay, as long as we ordinary people don't provoke him, it shouldn't be a problem. Don't worry, Steward Wang."
Jian Yue: "Don't worry, I'm not worried."
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed when they saw his serious look:
"Ahahaha what is he worried about."
"He just wanted to have an affair with someone else."
"You might as well worry about yourself."
"Don't be so funny. I'm telling you, Steward Wang, you always do things that make your teammates want to die."
Nangong Xi added: "I heard that why is it the Ji family's ship? It seems that it is because a movie is going to be made about this ship. This movie commemorates a very powerful figure in the Ji family's ancestor. It is said that he is an expert in puppetry. The puppets he made are very delicate and well-known throughout the country. It is said that the degree of delicacy is vivid. I heard, I just heard that the most powerful puppet he made is comparable to a living person! The Ji family is also famous for this!"
Wang Wenwen said quickly: "Yes, I heard that the Ji family was a noble family in the early years, and they had countless disciples. But later, I don't know what happened. There was a fire and many puppets were destroyed. The disciples were dispersed and the craft was lost."
Jian Yue frowned and asked, "Does this have anything to do with the miracle doctor?"
"I don't know!" the two said in unison.
Jian Yue: “…”
Wang Wenwen sighed and said, "We have only heard of miracle doctors who can cure all kinds of diseases and are very magical, but we really don't know anything else."
Nangong Xi propped up his chin and said, "That's because we were discovered to be stowaways not long after we boarded the ship, and we were locked up. We didn't have any time to find out."
Jian Yue remembered the key thing, and he asked, "Did you eat the cake?"
Both of them shook their heads.
Jian Yue felt more relieved. He told them about the cake and said, "There may be something wrong with the cake. The seeds inside are very dangerous. I have looked up some information, but it is very limited. I suspect that the seeds are related to both the puppet man and the miracle doctor, but there is no specific direction yet."
Nangong Xi asked, "Do many people on the ship eat cakes made of seeds?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "I've always wanted to check the director's private kitchenette, which is where the cakes are made, but that kitchenette is usually well protected and there's no chance to check in. Tomorrow I'll assign you two to work in the cruise ship's kitchen team. The chef there is very familiar to me and he won't make things difficult for you. Just keep an eye on it for me."
Wang Wenwen quickly said, "No problem!"
Anyway, as long as I'm not locked in the basement, there's nothing I can't do.
Before Nangong Xi could speak, Jian Yue's cell phone rang. He picked it up and listened for a while before looking at the two people in front of him. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "The miracle doctor is coming."
Both of them were shocked.
Wang Wenwen was surprised and asked, "What? The miracle doctor is coming?"
Their mission is to find out the secret of the miracle doctor. Now the miracle doctor is coming! Isn't this God's help for them?
Nangong Xi said happily: "That's great, the mission target is here."
Jian Yue said, "The miracle doctor came back with the male protagonist this time, but the male protagonist and his friends have been on the island for many days and have returned to land for a physical check-up. The official upload will be in two days. There may be a banquet on the cruise ship tonight to celebrate the passing of the storm at sea and the safe discovery of all the missing persons. I will arrange for you to be waiters at that time. You can pay more attention to other people. As a waiter, you can get a lot of clues."
The two of them quickly agreed.
It was already getting late when Jian Yue finished making the arrangements.
Of course, the cruise ship is quite lively.
Top floor
Inside the box, there was total silence, with only the occasional sound of pages turning. After Ji Huaiyu finished processing the last document, he raised his head and looked towards the dining table not far away.
There was a small bowl on the dining table with some peeled walnut kernels on it. These were the walnuts that Jian Yue had peeled last night while sitting there with a bunch of walnuts in his arms. While peeling them, he said that they were to replenish his body. When he was around before, he just felt that it was lively and bustling around him, but now that he was not around, he felt a little uncomfortable with the quiet.
"Boom boom boom"
There's someone knocking on the door.
Ji Huaiyu put down the pen in his hand, looked over, and said, "Come in."
The assistant was standing outside the door. He said, "Sir, I'm back. There is a blessing banquet on the ship tonight. You are the most distinguished guest on the ship. The captain invites you to attend."
Ji Huaiyu looked at the assistant for a moment, then nodded, retracted his gaze, picked up the pen again and said, "Is your leg almost healed?"
"The doctor said you can't lift heavy objects or run during this period." The assistant said, "But normal walking is not a big problem, as long as you don't walk for a long time. The main thing is that you need someone to take care of you. I won't feel at ease without someone around."
Ji Huaiyu nodded. After hearing what the assistant said, he said, "Butler Wang actually did a very good job."
The assistant was stunned. It was the first time in history that he could hear his boss praising someone for doing a good job!
Ji Huaiyu said: "It's just that he is Huaisheng's boyfriend. After all, our relationship is different. It's not good for him to stay with me all the time."
The assistant quickly came to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, it is indeed not good!"
I originally thought that if I just said what I wanted, wouldn't that be in line with the leader's wishes? After hearing this, the leader should be very satisfied and should praise me a few words!
But I don't want to.
Ji Huaiyu's usually calm brows slightly wrinkled, and he signed the contract with the sharp pen in his hand. Although it seemed that there was nothing unusual, the document was rejected! !
assistant:"……"
Look, I'm not happy with you!
However, as a top assistant, the assistant still has a strong ability to control the situation. He immediately tried to save the situation and said, "But Steward Wang's family is still good. I think he is very attentive to you, sir. At least he is not like many people who approach you for the power and wealth of the Ji family. Although the outside world says that Steward Wang's reputation is not very good, after getting to know him, I think he is actually very good! Especially he is very good to you!"
Ji Huaiyu finally heard something he liked, and his slightly frown relaxed. He thought that although he and Butler Wang would never be together, Butler Wang did treat him very attentively. Although he could not respond to Butler Wang, he could still take care of him a little in daily life.
"He has a bad reputation in the outside world, but that was in the past." Ji Huaiyu put down the contract in his hand, his brows were indifferent, and his aura was strong. He said: "Now he is a member of our Ji family, and it is not up to others to judge him."
The assistant was slightly surprised and thought to himself, you never cared about this matter before.
Ji Huaiyu said casually, "Since he will be excluded outside, he will probably be made difficult at the party tonight. As for him, let him come over and go with me later."
The assistant came back to his senses from the shock, and after hearing this, he began to stammer: "He... um... Butler Wang he..."
Ji Huaiyu frowned and said, "Why are you hesitating? What did he do wrong to be punished by the captain?"
"That's not the answer." The assistant took a deep breath and said, "He has become the captain! I heard that he just accepted the commission and is preparing to make the cruise ship bigger and stronger, and more and more glorious!!"
Ji Huaiyu: “…”
*
banquet
Jian Yue went back to take a shower before going to the banquet.
When he arrived at the banquet, quite a few people were already there. Last time, he came with Ji Huaisheng, so he became the focus of the crowd as soon as he arrived. This time, he came alone, so he attracted less attention.
However, most people knew that Ji Huaisheng was coming back.
Ever since Ji Huaisheng disappeared, most people's attitude towards Jian Yue has become cold, but tonight they became enthusiastic again.
"Butler Wang!" A blond boy waved, "Come over and have a drink with me!"
Jian Yue went over. Collecting intelligence on the ship was a very important thing for him. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to communicate more with other people.
The yellow-haired boy said, "I heard that you are now the deputy captain. Is that true?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "It's just a part-time job. I have nothing to do anyway."
The yellow-haired boy said, "Didn't I hear that you are Mr. Ji's housekeeper?"
Jian Yue responded fluently: "It is always good to have many skills."
Everyone: “…”
Although this is the truth, you have too many skills!
A steward who doesn't want to be a substitute is not a good captain! !
Everyone's expression was quite strange, but everyone actually knew that Jian Yue was just a substitute for Ji Huaisheng's lover. They guessed that Jian Yue probably wouldn't please Mr. Ji as a butler, so he had to work part-time as a captain to protect himself.
He must have fallen out of favor!
Once people see that others are not living as well as themselves, they will let down their guard a little.
Huang Mao said, "In fact, you don't need to find a side job. It's okay even if Mr. Ji doesn't like you. Although Mr. Ji is very powerful, he looks very dangerous. I heard that his methods are very cruel. When he was making his fortune in the early years, those who didn't obey him in business and those who betrayed him in the company all had a bad ending. I heard that his hands are not clean. This kind of person is not easy to mess with! As long as you are still the boyfriend of Mr. Ji, you can enjoy a life of happiness. It's much better to follow Mr. Ji than Mr. Ji."
Jian Yue became more interested and asked, "Why?"
A slightly fatter man next to the yellow-haired man smiled and said, "Most people know about this. I heard that Mr. Ji is not the biological child of the Ji family, but was adopted. He is an orphan. Only Emperor Ji is the legitimate heir of the Ji family. Although Mr. Ji is rich, he is not legitimate after all."
Jian Yue frowned as he listened, and he chuckled.
Huang Mao and his companions asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
Jian Yue said, "I laugh at the inconsistency of your words. First you said that Ji Huaiyu had worked hard to build the Ji family's business in the early years, but now you say that he is not the legitimate heir of the Ji family because he is an orphan. So what if he is an orphan? Since he has built his current business by himself, whose business does he need to inherit?"
"not to mention……"
Under the lights in a remote corner of the banquet, the fair-faced young man looked at the two people in front of him, pushed his glasses, and said with a smile: "Some people know how to rely on their own efforts even though they don't have any relatives, while some people seem to have no manners and only know how to make plans behind their backs even though they have families around them?"
The two men's faces turned pale instantly.
The blond boy said with a bit of embarrassment: "Butler Wang, please stop saying these sarcastic remarks. Everyone knows that you were with Mr. Ji just for money. Now that he's gone, you're trying to get into his bed by clinging to Mr. Ji's thigh. How can you say such things about currying favor with others?"
Jian Yue's eyes turned cold, he glanced at him and said, "Do you dare to say such things in front of President Ji?"
So angry! He is so angry!
The reason why he was angry was not because these two people scolded him, but because he didn't even climb up! !
I didn't get any benefits, but I had to bear a lot of blame. Who can tolerate this!!!
The two men were just very proud of themselves, but after hearing this, their faces changed and they dared not say anything more.
Some of the fat boys glared at Jian Yue before leaving and said, "Humph, what are you so proud of? You just rely on your good looks to please men. If one day you get old and lose your looks, maybe you'll have no choice but to ask for help from a miracle doctor. Maybe the miracle doctor will show mercy and help you regain your youth!"
The two of them walked away while talking.
Jian Yue looked at the two people's backs as they left, and his mind was somewhat scattered. Could a miracle doctor make people return to youth? Why did they say that? Did they say that? Did they know something, or did they see something with their own eyes? !
The system panel also popped up at this moment:
"Limited Time Mission: [Return to the Temptation of Youth]
Mission details: The story of returning to youth is fascinating and magical. Please find out the protagonist and reason of the story.
Mission time limit: 48 hours
Mission reward: 1000 points"
The time given was quite ample, and Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard some sparse voices coming from not far away:
"Mr. Ji is here!"
"It's President Ji who's here."
"Great! President Ji is here!"
Jian Yue looked from far away across the crowd and saw a tall figure coming in from outside. Many people took the initiative to greet him. The man had a calm expression as he communicated with the people around him. He was wearing an ordinary black haute couture suit, but his nobleness was still hard to conceal. He came from the night outside and stood in the center of the crowd. Obviously, there was a long distance between the two of them, but Ji Huaiyu still looked at him.
Eyes met.
They slowly separated again, and Jian Yue thought about the news he heard in the evening.
An orphan...
No father, no mother...
During the years when I was not around, his Xiaoyu must have gone through a lot of difficulties and hardships on her own.
The night is rich.
The dinner slowly came to an end. Ji Huaiyu came back from the celebration and blessing ceremony. Not long after, he heard a knock on the door. He walked to the door, opened it, and unexpectedly saw Jian Yue.
Jian Yue had just been promoted to captain and was dragged by the crew to a party in the evening to celebrate. He drank quite a bit of wine and reeked of alcohol. His usually fair face was stained a bit red, and his black eyes were also stained with water, making him look a little dazed.
Ji Huaiyu frowned and said, "Why did you drink so much? Why didn't you rest in your room after drinking so much? Why did you come to my place?"
Jian Yue smiled and spoke slowly and softly: "I'm worried about you. If I didn't urge you to rest, you would... work until late again."
I stuttered when I spoke.
He could hardly stand steadily, and it was obvious that he was a little unconscious, but he still remembered these things.
Ji Huaiyu quickly caught the person, who was a little drunkard, but he couldn't throw him away, so he could only carry him to the sofa. When he put him down, something fell from Jian Yue's body, it was a small amulet.
During the dinner, this kind of amulet is very simple to make, carved from shells. People on the boat will pray for their own safety or the safety of their loved ones, and this style is for praying for the safety of loved ones.
Ji Huaiyu picked it up and asked, "Who did you ask for this?"
Jian Yue's stomach was bloated and he leaned against the sofa drowsily. After taking a look, he said, "I asked for it for you."
Ji Huaiyu was slightly surprised for a moment. He had been an orphan since he was a child. His master died early, and he had never had any relatives. Others were afraid of him and dared not get close to him, let alone receiving such a thing. He said, "Why? I am not your relative."
Jian Yue seemed to open his mouth to say something, but his voice was too soft for Ji Huaiyu to hear clearly. He frowned and couldn't help but sit on the sofa. Seeing that the drunkard was about to fall asleep, he could have ignored him, but he was inexplicably concerned. He held him with one hand and asked, "Why?"
Jian Yue, who was almost asleep, was shaken awake. He was so dazed that he couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he could smell a familiar scent. In the past, when he drank too much, Leng Li would shake him like this.
Jian Yue had already reacted subconsciously. He rubbed Ji Huaiyu's hand comfortingly and muttered, "Xiaoyu, stop making trouble. I'm so sleepy. I love you. I will save you first no matter who you fall into the river with..."
Ji Huaiyu: “…”
