Bai Yu is a very receptive person. As long as what you say makes sense and can persuade him, he is willing to listen to you.
When Wang Haojun told him that the Middle East was going to be in chaos and that he couldn't go there for the time being, Bai Yu promptly obeyed and returned to China.
He not only stopped going to the Middle East, but he also decided not to go to the South Asian countries either.
After all, compared to certain regions in the Middle East, South Asia is actually more chaotic under normal circumstances, with a mix of all sorts of people from all walks of life.
For some, South Asian countries are paradise, where you can enjoy all sorts of entertainment that we don't have at home, and eat things that we're not allowed to eat at home.
However, there is a prerequisite: you must have sufficient strength in both your soft and hard power. Otherwise, you will become easy prey in the eyes of some people.
In any case, Bai Yu has no interest in these countries, no matter what their attractions may be.
When they were traveling, everything was fine, and they could go anywhere. But now that the thought of going home had arisen, Bai Yu felt an overwhelming longing to return.
He doesn't plan to go to any other countries. He won't go to the mysterious "Great Eastern Power" or that separate continent. He'll just go back to his comfort zone.
As September 20th arrived, Bai Yu and the others returned to Sanya by yacht, back to the dock in their county.
After the yacht entered the harbor, Bai Yu saw that the dock was crowded with people. Not only were there many people, but there were also several banners hanging up.
This scene was meant for Bai Yu to see; he kept turning back to look at Li Shuang and Li Xue beside him.
"Which of you two arranged this? What's this for, a welcome ceremony?"
"I, Brother Yu, this wasn't arranged by us. It was organized spontaneously by our company's employees."
And this welcoming ceremony they organized wasn't really to welcome you, Brother Yu. Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean, but you hardly ever go to the company throughout the year. Even when you do go, you're basically either in the chairman's office or just freeloading in the livestream room.
Some employees in our company might not even see you a few times a year. You're really not that important in our company. They're here to welcome your sister-in-law, who is our company's general manager!
Even though you're the boss, everyone knows that a local official has more power than a distant one, and besides, our sister-in-law is really good to our company's employees.
Only Li Shuang would dare to say that. Otherwise, who would dare to say that Bai Yu is not important in the company?
Isn't he important? The company belongs to him. Whether it makes money or loses money, he will ultimately have to bear the consequences. How can you say he's not important?
Yes, he admitted that he didn't go to the company very often, but there was a reason for that; he had other things to do.
Forget about these things. They're here to welcome Li Xue, so let's welcome her. After all, they're all family, and family doesn't need to be so formal.
As the yacht slowly docked, Bai Yu immediately spotted the leader of the crowd—who else could it be but Bai Yue?
Bai Yue can now be said to have really made a name for herself. Ever since Bai Yu, Li Xue, Li Shuang and others went on a world tour, she has become the boss of the company, and she has a lot of things to be responsible for.
It doesn't matter if there are people in the company with higher qualifications than her, it doesn't matter. Qualifications might be useful elsewhere, but when it comes to blood relations, qualifications are utterly worthless...
The person in charge of Yuxue Shipping Company is Li Xue, who is her sister-in-law and the one she grew up with.
The person in charge of the fishing boat company is her uncle, and isn't Bai Yu's uncle also Bai Yue's uncle?
The person in charge of the seafood processing plant is her father, and she was personally appointed as the person in charge by Li Xue and the others before they left. In the face of all these connections, what use is the seniority of others?
Not to mention that Yuxue Shipping Company is a new company, only four years old. No matter how experienced it is, it has only been four years.
Bai Yue had been working at the company for almost two years, and she had interned there as well. In terms of seniority, she wasn't bad at all.
She was the one who organized this welcome party, and it wasn't just a simple welcome party; she also planned to do a live stream to give away freebies.
This is a genuine giveaway, not some gimmick like those other businesses do.
When the yacht docked, Li Xue had already started the live stream. This time, they only had two products to sell in the live stream: one was goods from a seafood processing plant, and the other was clothing and shoes from Anta.
They don't sell anything else besides that.
Originally, Bai Yue's idea was to only sell products from their processing plant at today's welcome event. Even if they lost money, it would be their own money, so they wouldn't feel bad about it.
Honestly, Bai Yue didn't intend to make money from this sale. She said she was giving away freebies, and even more so, freebies to fans who frequently visit their live streams. So what if she loses a little? It's not a big deal.
However, Anta insisted on following suit, even at a loss, just to ride the wave of popularity. Left with no other choice, Bai Yue also added links to Anta's clothing.
However, Anta's clothing and shoes are only available in one quantity, advertised as a collaboration with Bai Yu and his team on their global travels. There are only 10,000 units available, and once they're sold out, they're gone.
As for the products from the processing plant, Bai Yue prepared products worth 100 million yuan, with the overall selling price basically at cost.
Although it's at cost price, they still lose money on every single order they sell.
After all, a cost price isn't enough for their company to recoup all its costs, but that doesn't matter. Today's main focus is on having fun and giving back to loyal customers.
There are some requirements to place an order in today's live stream. The minimum requirement is that you must have placed an order in the live stream before.
...
"Yueyue, what are you up to now? Why are so many people coming to the dock? Don't they all have jobs?"
As the yacht came to a stop, Bai Yu took the lead and disembarked, then walked towards Bai Yue with a serious expression.
His real intention was to scare Bai Yue and see if she had made any improvements in her work during the past six months of not being home.
The improvement here doesn't refer to any particular ability, but rather to Bai Yue's demeanor—whether she has the air of a strong woman, or the presence of someone in management.
Unfortunately, perhaps because Bai Yue and Bai Yu had such a good relationship, the little girl was never afraid of her brother.
So even when facing Bai Yu's serious face, Bai Yue still came over with a smile and gave her brother a big hug.
Well, it was just a hug. She didn't even give the flowers in her hand to Bai Yu, but instead gave them to Li Xue who was standing next to her.
What can Bai Yu say about his behavior?
He couldn't say anything and could only silently endure it, after all, she was his sister, and Li Xue was his wife.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bai Yu took Wang Hai away and found his own Hongqi sedan at the dock. He opened the back seat and got in.
With no one around to supervise them, it's a good opportunity for them to relax a bit and play on their phones in the car.
Ten minutes passed, and the live broadcast from the dock was still going on, showing no signs of ending.
Twenty minutes have passed, and the live stream is still going on, showing no signs of ending.
Half an hour passed, and Bai Yu drove away. He realized that the live broadcast at the dock would continue for a while, so they should leave first.
Now that she was back in Sanya, Bai Yu's first stop was naturally home.
It wasn't too far from the county's dock to their small fishing village, but the drive took him quite a while. He drove from 10:30 in the morning until noon before finally getting home.
Especially the last stretch of road from the village entrance to his doorstep, which took him a full hour to drive.
It's not that the roads in their village are difficult to travel or that they're bad; in fact, the roads in their village are very good, all paved with cement, which is perfectly adequate for all kinds of vehicles in the village.
The reason he was driving so slowly was because he hadn't been back for a long time. As soon as he entered the village, everyone in the village, whether they knew him or not, wanted to come over and chat with him.
It's fair to say that, given Bai Yu's current status and popularity, if it weren't for the fact that he also has a processing plant right next to the small fishing village, where many villagers work,
Given the traffic and profits that can be gained by riding on someone else's popularity, he'll be completely exploited by others, to the point where he'll need a huge entourage whenever he goes out.
But things are different now. Baiyu's processing plant makes a lot of profit every year, and the village also has shares in it, so there are dividends every year when it makes money.
In addition, many villagers in the small fishing village work in the processing plant, where the wages and other benefits are very generous.
That's why the villagers don't dare to overdo it with Bai Yu's internet traffic; they just meet up, chat, and take photos together without much trouble.
Now, not only Bai Yu's small fishing village, but also the surrounding villages treat Bai Yu's family with great respect, fearing that their living experience here might be negatively affected.
It's a small matter if their family moves away, but I'm afraid the processing plant will also move away, then they won't have the opportunity to make money right at their doorstep.
After declining more than a dozen dinner invitations, Bai Yu drove to his house. But when he arrived, he was dumbfounded. There was a lock on his front door, and the door was locked!
Bai Yu doesn't have a house key, meaning that even though she's at her own doorstep, she can't get in!
"Brother Yu, why aren't you getting out of the car? Are you going to drive it in? Give me the keys and I'll open the gate for you."
Wang Hai, standing to the side, hadn't realized this yet. He only saw Bai Yu stop the car and assumed that his brother Yu was waiting for him to get out and open the door.
This is really like bringing up a sore spot. If Bai Yu had the key, he would have gone downstairs and opened the door himself!
"Ah Hai, would you believe me if I said I don't have the key? We never used to lock the front door, so why is it locked now? What happened?"
Strangely enough, Bai Yu's family's house was the kind of self-built rural house with a yard.
Previously, Bai Yu's family would only lock the main door at night when they went to sleep; otherwise, they would only lock the living room door.
But this time, I don't know what happened. He's only been traveling for more than half a year, so why did he lock the front door? No one even told him or left him a key.
Oh, right, I almost forgot, he just got back today.
It's noon now. His dad should be having lunch at the factory, and his mom is a teacher, so she usually eats at the school cafeteria.
His sister, Bai Yue, is even more unknown. We don't even know if she's left the dock yet. Even if she has, their company has a cafeteria, so she won't be going home.
Needless to say, Li Xue will probably go to the company today as well, and she'll definitely be having dinner with Bai Yue.
Then things got a little awkward; Bai Yu was all alone, with no one to care for her.
"Brother Yu, why don't you come to my house for a while?"
Wang Hai suggested from the side.
"Let's not go. Let's find somewhere to have lunch. Let's just go check out the processing plant. It's just a short drive away."
Bai Yu then drove to the processing plant. When he arrived at the factory gate, the electric gate opened automatically, and an old man came out of the security room.
"Hey, you're home already? How was your trip? Have you had lunch yet?"
"Grandpa? What are you doing at the factory, and wearing a security guard's uniform? Does my mom know you do this?"
That's right, the person who came out of the security room was Bai Yu's maternal grandfather. He was still wearing a security guard's uniform, and it seemed that he was now guarding the gate of the processing plant.
It seems that he's been away for more than half a year, and things have changed quite a bit at home.
"Hey, you're something else. I asked you a few questions, and not only did you not answer any of them, you even started asking me questions instead?"
"Never mind whether your mom agrees or not, I'm working here now anyway. Have you eaten lunch yet? If not, you and Xiao Haizi can go get some food and eat in my security room. I have air conditioning here."
"Okay, then please sit in the security room for a while. Ah Hai and I will be right there."
Bai Yu then parked the car and took Wang Hai straight to the factory canteen.
Time to get your food!
