Li Yaolin added Zhou Yingying as a friend and sent her the official website of Xingzhou Island and some videos and photos so that she could understand the future working environment.
As for the salary, they haven't discussed it yet. Zhou Yingying was not in a hurry. Anyway, it was impossible for her to continue working in this diving shop. Even if she couldn't reach an agreement with Li Yaolin, she could still find a job in another diving shop.
Before Li Yaolin left for Malaysia, Zhou Yingying recommended a lot of diving coaches to her, including those in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, all of whom had a good reputation.
At this time, her roommate Zheng Xuan and her new husband also set off for Malaysia together. Their destination was Semporna, where Li Yaolin was going this time.
Li Yaolin first flew to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, then flew to Kota Kinabalu and Douhu, Sabah, and then took a car. It took ten hours to get to Semporna.
Before meeting Zheng Xuan and his wife, she went to the diving shop recommended by Zhou Yingying to sign up for a diving certificate.
She didn't take the exam when she was in Qionghai because of a tight schedule. This time she planned to stay in Semporna for a few days and had plenty of time, so she got the certificate first.
The OW course is arranged for three days, with theoretical learning on the first day and diving learning on the second and third days.
After taking the theoretical test on the first day, Li Yaolin hurried to a popular seafood restaurant, Zheng Xuan asked her to meet here.
Since the beginning of the second semester of the senior year, the roommates in the dormitory were either busy with internships and writing papers, or busy looking for jobs. Almost all of them moved out of the dormitory, and they only saw each other a few times a month. The last time Li Yaolin saw Zheng Xuan was when she was answering questions, and it has been two months since then.
"Ah, Sanniang!"
As soon as Li Yaolin saw Zheng Xuan's position clearly, the latter trotted over and threw herself into her arms, "Long time no see!"
Zheng Xuan's height was only up to Li Yaolin's chin, and Li Yaolin stroked her head and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two months. Did you miss me?"
"I miss you, my baby misses you too!" Zheng Xuan said with a smile.
At this time, Zheng Xuan's husband Sun Fen walked over and greeted Li Yaolin: "Junior sister Li Yaolin, long time no see!"
Sun Fen is the senior of Li Yaolin and Zheng Xuan. When Li Yaolin was a freshman, she participated in the women's basketball game, and Zheng Xuan joined the cheerleading team to cheer for her roommate. Sun Fen, who was already a junior at the time, was a referee and had contact with Zheng Xuan. After a few exchanges, they became familiar with each other.
After that, he launched a fierce pursuit of Zheng Xuan and finally got her home during the Spring Festival.
The two of them were in love for three and a half years, so for many people, Zheng Xuan got married too early, but for them, settling down earlier was not a bad thing.
Li Yaolin did not comment on what happened between them. She smiled and replied to Sun Fen: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Senior Brother Sun. It seems that Brother Xuan takes good care of you."
Sun Fen was stunned for a moment and said: "You said it the other way around? I am the one who takes care of her!"
Zheng Xuan rolled her eyes at him and said: "I asked you to lose weight. Your belly is too big and it won't look good in your wedding photos!"
Sun Fen: "..."
Li Yaolin looked at her roommate whose figure and complexion were no better than before: "You should eat more. How can you be so thin! Didn't you get enough rest at night? You need to rest more, so that you and the baby can be healthier."
Sun Fen heard that Li Yaolin was criticizing him for not only failing to take good care of Zheng Xuan, but also making himself fat.
Zheng Xuan pulled Li Yaolin to complain: "I've been so busy lately that I don't have much appetite. I have to work, find a studio to take wedding photos, and discuss the banquet..."
"You need to take care of the baby now, so just leave those things to your husband, right?"
"He is careless. I'm worried about leaving the only wedding in my life to him!"
Sun Fen was left aside by the two of them. He also knew not to disturb them. He ordered the dishes silently, and then listened to his wife chattering to Li Yaolin like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
They always have a lot of topics to talk about, from life to work, from work to classmates' gossip, and then back to them.
Unknowingly, the night is getting darker. The singers in the seafood restaurant sang Cantonese songs that are familiar to all Lingnan people. Outside, it was bustling and noisy. The orange street lights and LED lights of various seafood restaurants illuminated every corner of the street.
After dinner, Li Yaolin said goodbye to Zheng Xuan and his wife.
On the way back to the resort, Sun Fen asked Zheng Xuan gossipingly: "Is Li Yaolin still single?"
"Why are you asking this?" Zheng Xuan asked back.
"I want to introduce her to my brothers, Ah Zhan. You know, why don't you find a chance to help bring them together?"
Zheng Xuan waved his hands and said, "You don't know Sanniang. She is not interested in love. There were people pursuing her when she was in school, but she rejected them decisively. Once, a junior stopped her on her way to work and confessed to her. Her eyes at that time were murderous, and the junior was so scared that he avoided her every time he saw her. To her, love is not as important as bread."
Sun Fen said, "What if there is both love and bread? Ah Zhan is from Xian Village, and it is definitely not a loss to be with him!"
"It's useless even if she's from Hunter!"
Sun Fen said in confusion, "Don't be so absolute! I remember her family wasn't well off. The company where she interned went bankrupt a while ago. I heard that the boss absconded with the money and withheld her salary for several months. She should be asking for her salary by now, so how could she have money to travel here?"
Zheng Xuan glared at him, "She's here on a business trip."
"You believe this, but I don't. Which company would let a young girl who just entered the society go abroad for inspection? Moreover, she came here alone and refused to follow our schedule. If someone didn't pay her to go out for fun, I would shake my head off!"
Zheng Xuan was furious. He didn't care that they were on the streets of a foreign country and yelled at him: "Sun Fen, are you sick? You think so dirty about people. What right do you have to slander her?"
Sun Fen was also angry: "Then why does she slander me and say that I didn't take good care of you?"
"She is my sister. Isn't it normal for her to remind you to take good care of me?!"
"Didn't I take care of you? She doesn't even know about our business. Why is she worrying about it?"
"You said you took care of me, but why didn't you accompany me when I went for the re-examination? And when we went on a trip, I made the travel guide, booked the tickets, and found the hotel, but you didn't do anything. How can you call this taking care of me?"
Sun Fen said impatiently, "Didn't I have to go to work? If I didn't go to work, how could I have the money to raise a child! If you think it's tiring to make travel guides and troublesome to book flights and hotels, then why don't you just follow my advice and sign up for a tour group? I asked you to sign up for a tour group, but you didn't let me. So you insisted that I pay for the travel guide, and I had to skip work and hang around you all day, right?"
"Sun Fen, you are sick!"
...
Li Yaolin didn't know that she was the fuse of the quarrel between the newlyweds. After returning to the cabin, she sent Zheng Xuan a message that she had arrived safely, and then went to take a shower.
After she came out of the shower, Zheng Xuan replied to her, "I'm back too."
Li Yaolin felt something was wrong. After all, the resort where Zheng Xuan lived was closer than hers, so how could he return later than her?
She saw Zheng Xuan chatting with roommates in the dormitory group, sharing the beautiful scenery and delicious food he took today, as well as their group photos. She hesitated for a moment and thought she was overthinking.
After chatting for a few words in the group, she opened the Poseidon Holiday APP to see today's Xingzhou Island operation summary.
During the days when Li Yaolin was not on Xingzhou Island, the only people who called her were the government departments that discussed the nature reserve with her, Cen Yingda, and Longfeng, and some investors who wanted to invest in hotels on Xingzhou Island.
Lin Qiang and other employees reported directly to the little mermaid when they had something to do, so it can be seen that there was nothing that needed her to deal with personally.
However, the weather in the oil market was not very good in the past two days, resulting in a decrease of one-third of tourists on the island. The turnover was also relatively reduced, but Li Yaolin's mentality was still stable. These were all expected things, and the typhoon season was coming, and the island would definitely be closed. How could she be in an unstable mentality?
The work group was quite active, and the employees were asking Li Yaolin what the scenery was like abroad.
Li Yaolin rarely posts on her Moments, and even less likely to share her travels with others, but since the employees asked, she cooperated and posted a few photos and short videos. Some were of her trip to Qionghai, and some were taken casually today. The employees
were silent after reading them. If they didn't know what was wrong with the island owner's phone, they would have thought that the island owner deliberately took ugly photos to belittle his peers and elevate himself.
The ticket seller gave her advice: "Boss, isn't it time for you to change to a new phone?"
If it were in the past, Li Yaolin would certainly change her phone if she had money, but now, she found that this phone is very easy to use. After being bound to the Poseidon Holiday APP, no matter what software is opened, it is very smooth. Except for the fact that the camera pixel is a little bit poor, she has no dissatisfaction.
"My mobile phone is good. I don't need to change it. It can make calls and chat. It saves power and is resistant to drops."
Employees: "..."
The island owner is obviously younger than them, why do they feel that the island owner is like an old lady?
At eight o'clock the next morning, Li Yaolin arrived at the diving shop to start the next day's diving course. She had passed the theoretical test yesterday and officially went to the sea today.
The practical part is not just to dive and float in the sea with neat equipment. She must complete the specified actions, such as taking off the mask, practicing how to exhaust when there is water in the mask, etc.
Li Yaolin did these actions without any pressure. She felt that she could hold her breath in the sea for five minutes. After surfacing, the coach gave her a thumbs up and said "awesome". At the
end of the day, Li Yaolin learned very smoothly, and the students in the same class were very jealous. They were either out of coordination or swallowing water. The worst thing was that they suffered from hypotension, and their legs were red and swollen, which was particularly painful.
In the end, Li Yaolin naturally got the OW certificate smoothly, and she spent two days to take the AOW exam.
When she got the AOW certificate, she couldn't help but show it on her circle of friends. As a result, Fang Xinhua didn't know from where that she was learning diving, and called her in a panic: "I say, Mr. Li, you are too mean."
"Ah?" Li Yaolin was a little confused. What did she do to him?
Fang Xinhua asked, "Did you go to Malaysia to learn diving?"
"Well, yes, I came here to investigate and get a certificate by the way."
Fang Xinhua felt very regretful and asked restrainedly, "Mr. Li, are you planning to follow the example of Southeast Asia to develop and manage the islands?"
"It's not really imitation, but we are learning from their strengths, tapping our potential, and creating our own unique island style."
"Mr. Li is right."
Li Yaolin: So why are you calling?
Without her mentioning it, Fang Xinhua took the initiative to say, "Mr. Li, I have a project I want to invest in. I wonder if you are interested?"
Li Yaolin was not very interested, but out of politeness, she asked, "What project?"
"Diving!" Fang Xinhua's tone rose a lot, "I discovered a long time ago that the water quality of our Xingzhou Island is very good. It is rare in coastal provinces. Moreover, the wind and waves are not strong and the visibility is high, which is very suitable for building a diving base. I have been preparing to cooperate with you recently. I have prepared the project plan and am waiting for you to come back to formally discuss it with you."
Li Yaolin found that his words were also interesting. What "our Xingzhou Island" meant that he did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
"It seems that Mr. Fang and I have the same vision. I also want to develop a diving base, so I came to a foreign country to study and learn from others, and to verify it by the way."
Fang Xinhua always felt that she was going to leave him alone, and said anxiously: "Isn't that just right? If Mr. Li knows about this industry, we don't have to go through so much trouble to discuss cooperation."
He was very upset that he started too late. He thought that Li Yaolin had just developed Xingzhou Island and would definitely not be able to turn around the funds. There would not be so much money to continue to develop new projects in a short time. He was even ready to take a chance and wait for Li Yaolin to take the initiative to attract investment.
But he didn't expect that Li Yaolin would be so quick. It took others half a year to complete the project, but she said she was ready to start it. Is it really "rich and willful"? !
Li Yaolin found that her position and Fang Xinhua's position seemed to have been switched. When she wanted to fight for the route in the past, Fang Xinhua must have sat on the fishing platform like this, waiting for her to get anxious, right? Now that she is not anxious, he is starting to get anxious.
Li Yaolin did not immediately reject Fang Xinhua's proposal to seek cooperation, but asked: "How does Mr. Fang want to cooperate?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone, why don't we make an appointment to talk?"
Li Yaolin said: "Of course. I just got all kinds of business licenses to develop a diving base. The next step is to open a diving shop, recruit people, and then officially open for business. Mr. Fang's call is very timely."
Li Yaolin said lightly, but Fang Xinhua's heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, heavy. She took the initiative to explain that she had completed the relevant procedures, which was to tell him that the most difficult stage of developing the diving base had been passed, and the subsequent problems could be solved with money.
Li Yaolin did not need his connections and power at all in the development process, which made him quite passive in the subsequent negotiations.
Assuming that Li Yaolin had not completed the relevant procedures, he could use this as a condition to get more benefits in the cooperation with Li Yaolin. But this only opportunity was gone. What else could he do except hope that Li Yaolin was short of money?
But does Li Yaolin look like she is short of money? She doesn't look like that!
In other words, now he is the one begging Li Yaolin to take him out to play, not Li Yaolin asking him to play!
After Fang Xinhua hung up the phone, he was very upset. He called his employees overnight and asked them to re-draft a project plan.
