Shortly after, two women entered the VIP room.
The woman leading the group wore a baseball cap and had a slender, tall figure. She wore a loose pink T-shirt and tight jeans, which accentuated her full and pert hips.
She wore a pair of large sunglasses that covered most of her face, but her exposed skin was fair, delicate, and flawless, indicating that she was quite beautiful.
The woman in white following behind was pulling a large suitcase; she looked like an assistant or something similar.
The woman glanced around the VIP lounge, seemingly looking for a suitable seat.
Upon seeing Ye Chen's location, she paused for a moment, said a few words to the woman behind her, and pointed in Ye Chen's direction.
The woman in white nodded, dragging her suitcase, and the two stopped next to Ye Chen.
She first took out a wet wipe from her bag and wiped the seat several times, then took out a white cloth and laid it on it before letting the girl wearing sunglasses sit down.
The woman in sunglasses offered no help whatsoever, keeping her eyes glued to her phone and playing by herself.
After she sat down, the woman in white glanced at Ye Chen. This young man was quite handsome, but he was just too oblivious.
The woman coughed lightly on purpose. Seeing that Ye Chen was leaning against the sofa staring at his phone and showed no intention of getting up, she frowned slightly.
Ye Chen heard the commotion around him, but he didn't pay any attention and continued playing his game.
Just then, the woman in white's voice rang out beside him: "Sir, would you mind giving up your seat?"
Ye Chen was taken aback. He looked up and his gaze fell on the woman who had spoken. Seeing her looking at him with displeasure, he asked in surprise, "Are you talking to me?"
The woman in white nodded, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and said, "We're together, please move over there."
Ye Chen looked around the VIP room and saw that there were still many empty seats. He was displeased and said irritably, "So many seats are empty. Are you blind? If you want to move, move yourself."
The woman in white was taken aback by Ye Chen's refusal. Her expression froze for a moment before she gave Ye Chen a few unfriendly glances.
Seeing Ye Chen dressed in ordinary clothes and without any expensive jewelry, one could only conclude that he was mediocre.
She sneered inwardly. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she had seen plenty of these poor losers pretending to be rich.
While she felt contempt for him, she took out a large red bill from her wallet and said, "You don't seem to be a rich person. Here's a hundred yuan, more than enough to get you a seat."
Ye Chen ignored her completely, lowered his head and started playing on his phone again. He was engrossed in the game when this strange woman interrupted him, and his teammates were already calling out in the chat.
The woman in white froze in mid-air, her face turning pale and then red. She gritted her teeth and said, "Not enough? It's just a lousy seat. Don't be so greedy."
The woman's voice attracted the attention of the others in the VIP room. Several people turned their gazes toward them, especially when they saw the woman in sunglasses next to Ye Chen, their eyes filled with a hidden fervor.
But there was also a richly dressed, plump middle-aged woman staring at Ye Chen, her greedy eyes undisguised.
The woman in sunglasses felt extremely uncomfortable under those gazes, perhaps because she was afraid of revealing her identity.
She put down her phone, pulled her hat down a little, glanced at Ye Chen out of the corner of her eye, and whispered, "Aqing, let's go."
After saying that, he walked directly to the last row of the VIP room.
Behind him, the woman in white glared at Ye Chen fiercely before quickly following him.
This little incident did not affect Ye Chen's performance. He secured three kills in a row, successfully pushed down the tower, and ended the game.
Just then, the boarding announcement came on, and Ye Chen grabbed his bag and headed straight for the boarding gate.
Amidst the flight attendant's friendly smile, Ye Chen sat down in the spacious first-class seat.
His seat was on the aisle side. After he sat down, the flight attendant quickly brought him drinks and towels, and then half-knelt down next to him to explain the services.
At that moment, a woman wearing sunglasses walked in.
Ye Chen glanced at her and saw that it was the woman in the VIP room, but the woman in white was not following behind her.
She checked her boarding pass against the seat number, her gaze sweeping over Ye Chen before settling on the seat inside.
However, she clearly recognized Ye Chen as well. She frowned slightly, didn't say anything, but instead waved her boarding pass to the flight attendant behind her.
The flight attendant understood and came to Ye Chen's side, saying softly, "Mr. Ye, would you please stand up for a moment so this lady can go over there? Thank you!"
Ye Chen was speechless. The first-class seats were quite far apart, and he hadn't stretched his legs out, so there was plenty of space for the woman to pass through.
However, seeing the pleading look in the flight attendant's eyes, he smiled and nodded, then got up and left his seat, not wanting to make things difficult for her.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye." After the woman in sunglasses sat down, the flight attendant quickly invited Ye Chen back to his seat, her sweet smile becoming even more friendly.
Soon, economy class passengers gradually boarded, and the woman in sunglasses' assistant also slowly boarded with the flow of people.
When she saw Ye Chen, her face showed surprise. She hurriedly said a few words to the woman in sunglasses and then moved to the back with the crowd.
As the plane reached high altitude, the flight to Haizhou would take about two hours. Ye Chen, feeling rather bored, picked up an aviation magazine and started reading.
The magazine was mostly filled with travel reflections. Ye Chen flipped through it casually and stopped at an article introducing the scenery of an island.
This article introduces some unique uninhabited islands located south of Haizhou. The closest one is only a few miles away from Haizhou, while the furthest one is almost 300 miles away.
These islands are not large and have little development value, but the scenery is indeed beautiful.
In order to raise funds, the government put these islands up for public auction. This article was actually written specifically to promote the auction.
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had been choosing a location for his second base, and becoming an island lord wouldn't be bad at all!
He immediately decided to purchase one of the islands as his second base.
Ye Chen flipped directly to the end of the article, and sure enough, there was auction information at the very end.
After writing down this information, he lost interest in continuing to watch, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and silently pondered in his mind.
Building these islands is no easy task.
Materials, equipment, resources, and manpower are all problems.
Moreover, the geological conditions of these islands are not good; small-scale renovations are possible, but large-scale construction is simply not feasible.
Ye Chen rubbed his head, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him: since the island didn't have the conditions for construction, then they should build the base on the seabed!
The entire construction was carried out using engineering robots and local materials!
That solves all the problems.
Moreover, the base is built on the seabed, making it extremely well-hidden!
Having made up his mind, Ye Chen instructed Zhi Zi in his mind to organize the technical data needed to build the underwater base.
