The little mermaid didn't respond for a long time, and it was unclear whether she really didn't hear it or was pretending not to hear it.
Li Yaolin didn't ask any more questions, but the wild impression of the little mermaid dancing in the nightclub was inevitably left in her mind.
She responded to Lin Qitong, "You haven't seen it, but you should have heard of it. It's my assistant."
Lin Qitong was confused: "Ah, you have an assistant?"
Zheng Xuan thought thoughtfully: "Is it Miss Yu who often goes out to work in the office?"
Lin Qitong was shocked: "Brother Xuan, how do you know? I don't know! I have never seen her work."
Li Yaolin said: "Well, its work content is quite special. It doesn't usually come to the island to work. Generally, it is needed to apply for projects."
Therefore, Li Yaolin never thought of arranging an office for the little mermaid.
Lin Qitong and Zheng Xuan were suddenly speechless, as if they did not understand why Li Yaolin would let an assistant who was supposed to be by his side to handle all kinds of affairs work outside for a long time.
However, after working on Xingzhou Island for so long, they have also been exposed to some procedures for applying for projects and know that it is not easy to apply for a project. However, Miss Yu is very efficient and has almost never been blocked by the relevant departments. It can be seen that she is indeed capable.
Lin Qitong decided that if she sees her next time in the bar, she must say hello to her.
...
After the winter solstice Christmas, it was the end of December in the blink of an eye, the eve of New Year's Day.
The highest temperature in the oil market during the day has dropped to 18℃, and the lowest temperature at night is only 8℃. Many people have already put on cotton or down jackets.
On Xingzhou Island, however, the daytime temperature remains at around 25℃, and the lowest temperature at night will not drop below 20℃.
The pleasant climate makes tourists who come to Xingzhou Island to celebrate the New Year even more grateful that their decision is correct.
Although Xingzhou Island does not hold large-scale New Year's Eve events, it still organizes a "Happy New Year's Day" festival event as usual.
There are two activities: one is the "naming event" for the United Nations Nature Reserve to collect names for the dugong family.
The collection and review period is one month. Once the name is adopted, the namer will have the opportunity to visit the reserve for one day.
The content of the visit includes but is not limited to giving turtles a physical examination under the guidance of staff, "shaking hands" with dugongs, etc.
There are only six dugongs in total, which means that only six people can finally get this opportunity. So once the event was announced, the silly netizens who were just having fun when naming the sea turtle were very serious this time. In order to come up with a reason to name the turtle, they took the attitude of treating the college entrance examination essay.
Another activity is the "check-in event" of Xingzhou Island. However, in addition to the scenic spot requirements, this time the check-in event also stipulates that it must be a night view.
As long as you collect the night views of five scenic spots, you will have the opportunity to participate in the lottery. The prizes are the same as those during the National Day, and there is even an extra postcard with the island owner's stamp.
Many tourists did not put this postcard on their wish list, but Zhou Qunfang's agent Yingjie came to the rescue.
She wanted this postcard more than the annual ticket - she is busy with work, and even if she gets the annual ticket, she can't come a few times a year, so it's better to have a postcard with a "lucky blessing effect".
She originally planned to open the blind box, but she heard that the first batch of blind boxes produced 30,000 postcards, and only 30 of them were stamped with the island owner's seal, which means that there is only one limited edition postcard in a thousand postcards. And there are only five postcards in a blind box. According to probability, she has to buy at least 200 blind boxes...
Although the postcards of Xingzhou Island are exquisitely made and have collection value, she really doesn't need so many postcards!
It is currently known that seven people have opened blind boxes to get this limited edition postcard, and there are only 23 left in tens of thousands of blind boxes!
She thought about it and finally bought ten blind boxes to test her luck.
The result was not surprising. She got nothing, so after learning that there was a check-in activity, she took a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat and pulled Zhou Qunfang to accompany her to check in.
...
Xingzhou Island was very lively on New Year's Eve.
After dinner, the tourists who stayed on the island overnight did not rush back to the holiday cabins or camping areas to rest, because there was a bonfire party on the beach of Xingzhou Island.
The bonfire party was organized by Vice President Qi, but the main participants were some employees who were not on duty that night and their families. It was just a team building to enhance the relationship between employees and their families.
Since the bonfire party did not avoid tourists, many tourists who did not know why also participated.
Vice President Qi was not worried about the dull performance. After all, he had long required that each project team in each department must arrange at least one performance, whether it was singing, dancing, or other special skills, as long as they dared to perform.
After the participation of tourists, the employees had fewer opportunities to perform, but the enthusiasm of tourists to perform was mobilized, and the atmosphere gradually became hot.
Zhou Qunfang and Yingjie came over and took a photo of this as one of the night views of Xingzhou Island.
After taking the photo, Yingjie was ready to leave, but Zhou Qunfang got into the crowd.
Yingjie didn't understand: "Hey, what are you doing?"
But when Zhou Qunfang squeezed to the front, she saw everyone singing and dancing, and she joined in on a whim.
She was wearing a hat and a mask, which made her stand out in the crowd. After a while, someone recognized her: "It's Zhou Qunfang!"
"It's really her!"
Seeing that someone recognized her, Zhou Qunfang simply took off her mask, smiled and greeted everyone, saying: "Today, I'm just Xiao Zhou who came to participate in the bonfire party. Everyone, don't just stand there, let's have fun!"
An employee very spiritually played a piece of music with a faster rhythm. After everyone was stunned for a moment, they twisted their bodies.
Although it looked like a bit of chaos, everyone seemed very happy.
Li Yaolin saw that the crowd kept a safe distance and it was unlikely that any danger would occur, so he withdrew.
Vice President Qi was old and could not twist his body, so he squeezed out of the crowd.
He asked Li Yaolin: "Boss, don't you like the hustle and bustle?"
"I like the hustle and bustle!" Li Yaolin said with a smile, "But I have something to do, so I won't join you. Your family is here, so go spend the New Year's Eve with your family! I'll come over during the countdown."
Vice President Qi wanted to say something, but thinking that it was not his turn to worry about Li Yaolin's family affairs, he swallowed his words and said, "I understand."
The beach is not the only lively place. Tourists can be seen in the camping area, the mermaid square, the sun-gazing platform, and even in the display room on the first floor of the lighthouse.
The infrastructure of Xingzhou Island is well built now, ensuring that there are lights in places where there are roads. There are also landscape lights around the sun-gazing platform and the lighthouse.
The orange-yellow light conveys visual warmth to tourists on this winter night.
Li Yaolin found a chair by the road and sat down, then took out his mobile phone and began to do one thing happily - check the annual summary!
First, there was a light flashing in the [Operation Level] column, and it was clear at a glance that there were new changes.
Sure enough, after clicking on it, a system notification popped up:
[Subsidy for Sea God Support Project: When the operation level reaches Level 4, you will get the wonder "Meteor Shower", and the visible range is limited to the island.]
Li Yaolin's eyes were as bright as thousands of stars. She thought that she had only seen meteor showers on TV since she was a child, and she never thought that one day she would be able to see a live meteor shower?
However, isn't Sea God in charge of the sea? When did he start to control outer space?
Or is it that meteor showers are actually high-tech means of higher planes?
Li Yaolin didn't delve into it. She clicked on the description of "Meteor Shower".
Unlike the first two wonders that can be released at any time according to her preferences at the allowed time period, "Meteor Shower" has a cool-down period, that is, after it is released once, it will take at least one month to be released again.
In addition, the process from the launch to the presentation of the effect will take several days.
For example, if she launches it today, it may take several days before the meteor shower appears.
Li Yaolin is not in a hurry to see it immediately, so she clicks on the launch and then goes to see this year's revenue, because it is related to how much sea area she can increase next year!
During the National Day, the turnover of the entire island exceeded 10 million yuan. After the holiday, although it encountered the off-season for tourism, the revenue from tickets, holiday cabins, camping areas, convenience stores and seafood buffets was relatively stable.
The turnover of the diving shop has declined, but after the promotion of the "Northern Bay Cup" fishing competition, the sales of "Poseidon Brand" fishing gear and bait are as good as ever, and they are often sold out.
The sales of this month's cultural and creative products and newly launched postcards are also better than expected.
Since the operation of Xingzhou Island, the total turnover has exceeded 100 million? !
Li Yaolin thought he had read it wrong, and counted it again. Yes, it really exceeded 100 million! ! !
The seafood buffet restaurant alone contributed half of the turnover, and the praise rate remained high. It can even be upgraded to a three-star restaurant.
The second largest sales volume is the convenience store, cultural and creative products and online store, accounting for 20%. Poseidon brand fishing gear and bait are well-known in the fishing circle for their excellent quality. The top three regions for order volume have expanded from cities to provinces.
The rest of the boat tickets, holiday cabins, camping areas and fishing projects accounted for 20%, and finally the diving shop accounted for 10%.
Of course, after deducting the cost (including the daily operating costs of Xingzhou Island) and income tax, and then deducting the boat tickets, diving shop and tickets that have to be shared with others, the actual net profit belonging to Xingzhou Island is not that much, but Li Yaolin's attention is not on the profit at the moment. What she sees is that the area of sea that can be used next year will increase by 10,000 hectares! You
know, the area of sea that can be used along the coast such as Island Park and Romantic Sea House is only less than 2,000 hectares.
I don't know if Xingzhou Island will be envied by others for getting so much sea area all of a sudden.
However, the increase in the area of sea use means that the operating costs will also increase. The higher the cost, the greater the pollution control efforts. When the pollution index decreases, everyone will see the effect of pollution control and there should be no objection, right?
...
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was eleven o'clock in the evening.
Zheng Xuan and Lin Qitong called Li Yaolin to ask her to go to the camping area. She had to put away her mobile phone and came to the small tent set up by Zheng Xuan.
There were tourists gathered together to celebrate the New Year, most of whom were young people. Middle-aged and elderly people usually stayed at home at this time to watch TV with their families.
There are also many entertainment programs for young tourists. They barbecue at night, and after eating and drinking, they open mobile games to play online games, or invite tourists from the nearby camping sites to play script killing, werewolf killing, or even Three Kingdoms killing. Li Yaolin also saw some people bring mini mahjong to play.
Zheng Xuan and Lin Qitong didn't know where they got a few tourists to play werewolf killing. When Li Yaolin came, the werewolf stabbed the prophet's house, was saved by the witch, and the werewolf jumped the witch, and the real witch was torn apart fiercely.
Li Yaolin suddenly found that a man present looked familiar, and after thinking again and again, he remembered that it was the modeling master Qin Yutang.
After a round of Werewolf was over, Li Yaolin asked Zheng Xuan: "Why is the modeling boss here?"
"He is on vacation, and he remembered that the last camping experience was good, so he decided to come camping again, and he also invited his office team members, that is, these few people." Zheng Xuan said.
"Does it have any causal relationship with your decision to come camping?"
Zheng Xuan knew what Li Yaolin wanted to ask, and she smiled and said: "Don't think about it, I decided to camp here tonight not because of him. But after knowing that he was also camping here, I invited him and his colleagues to come and play games."
Li Yaolin glanced at Qin Yutang and thought, you didn't come to camp because of him, but he might not!
But this is Zheng Xuan's private matter, and Li Yaolin didn't intend to interfere.
Zheng Xuan asked, "Where did you go after you left the bonfire party?"
Li Yaolin laughed, "Just... just checking around."
"Are you going to be busy later? If not, come and play Werewolf with me?"
Li Yaolin worked part-time in a board game store during college, and was often pulled in by customers who didn't have enough people, so she also knows how to play Werewolf.
"How can I rest so soon? You guys are playing, and I still have to deal with some work."
Lin Qitong said, "You are really a busy person. It's almost late at night, and you don't even let yourself relax."
Li Yaolin just smiled mysteriously and didn't intend to explain what she was busy with.
In fact, she also likes to count down to the New Year with everyone, but there are no fireworks, no drones, and no countdown light show on Xingzhou Island. In her opinion, it is still lacking a little flavor, so she decided to use "sea fire" as the easter egg of the New Year's Eve event.
She returned to the beach fifteen minutes early. At this time, the bonfire party has come to an end. There are fewer tourists than at eight or nine o'clock, but there are still two or three hundred people chatting around the bonfire or walking on the trail.
As time passed, the dark sea surface slowly began to glow, and the brightness became brighter as the glow gathered, colorful and dazzling.
From somewhere came a uniform countdown:
ten, nine, eight, seven...
With each count, the light on the sea surface became brighter, as if responding to the tourists' countdown.
After the tourists noticed this, the atmosphere, which had been fading, was pushed to the peak again, and more and more people joined in the countdown. With each count, they felt their blood boiling and their hearts warm.
The sea breeze seemed to be mixed with the singing of mermaids; in the reserve, the dugong tribe issued a loud and cheerful call; in the mountains and forests, countless seabirds also called a few times to accompany tonight's performance; tourists in the camping area only need to look up at the night sky to find that the starry sky tonight is brighter and more brilliant than usual.
... Three, two, one!
"Happy New Year 2022!"
The author has something to say:
Island owner: Come to celebrate the New Year!
Little mermaid: Come to dance, have fun, rock!
Island owner: ...
