The girls were overjoyed to hear this; they never imagined they could work on the island.
Dong Qing said, "If you need money, you can borrow it from the finance department. We're all from the same hometown, and it's not safe to bring money back home for the Spring Festival. You can choose to receive your salary here, or you can take your salary settlement slip to the finance department of the provincial branch in your hometown at the end of the year. You can choose freely."
It's very unsafe to carry money on the train. Who would want to travel thousands of miles back home to get their salary if they could just go back? After hearing this, the girls all said they were willing to go back to their hometown to get their salary.
"It's currently the May Day holiday, so you can spend a few days on the island and then go back to work after the holiday."
After arranging accommodations and daily routines for the girls, Dong Qing, who hadn't slept all night, was exhausted and went back to the villa to sleep.
Dong Sanmei drove to Yu Feng's residence. Yu Feng said, "I looked for you but you weren't home. It's getting late, let's go."
Dong Sanmei said, "I had something to do last night and didn't sleep. Can I go back to your hometown with you tomorrow?"
It was only then that Yu Feng noticed that Dong Sanmei's eyes were bloodshot. That was one of his good qualities; he didn't ask why she hadn't slept all night. He said, "It's alright, one more day won't make a difference. Go back to sleep, we'll go back tomorrow."
Dong Sanmei said thank you for understanding, turned around and drove back.
Dong Qing took a nap in the morning and had just finished lunch when the police came to the island to pick up the girls who had been deceived. Dong Qing led the police to the girls' residence at the factory, and dozens of girls expressed their willingness to stay on the island to work at the jewelry factory.
If they volunteer to stay and work, the police don't need to take them back.
The police officer and Dong Qing entered the factory office. The officer said, "Thank you for helping us crack down on a human trafficking ring. We've destroyed its headquarters. You've done a great job. We'll do our best to help you if you need anything."
Dong Qing said, "I do have something I need help with. The cell phone signal on our island is too poor. I suggest building an information tower on the island. If you have difficulties, don't force yourself."
Building a signal tower on an island is a huge project, requiring the laying of submarine fiber optic cables from the mainland to the island. That's why Dongqing needed the police's help. It was a massive undertaking, and in those days, mobile phones weren't common, so it would have been very difficult for him to do it on his own.
The police officer said, "That's no problem. We'll go back and apply to the relevant departments for a solution. We'll definitely make you satisfied with this; it's just a matter of time. Are there any other questions?"
Dong Qing said, "That's all. I only have one condition: this shouldn't just happen on our island. I'm really afraid that some escaped criminals might retaliate against my family."
The police officer said, "You can rest assured about this; it will be kept absolutely confidential."
Dong Qing thanked the policeman and escorted him to the beach to board a yacht back to the mainland.
The staff who went out yesterday to test the hot spring water quality returned in the afternoon.
Dong Qing looked at the test results and found that the hot springs in the island caves had higher levels of trace elements and minerals than those in terrestrial hot springs, containing twenty-three kinds of trace elements and minerals.
It has medical, rehabilitation, health preservation, health care, recuperation and beauty effects. Most importantly, it has a whitening effect, and the effect is most obvious for women who soak in this hot spring.
The hot spring test results far exceeded Dong Qing's expectations.
In the afternoon, he and his wife put on their swimsuits, drove to the roadside in front of the mountain, parked, got out of the car, and walked with his wife towards the lake at the foot of the mountain.
Walking to the lakeside, Dong Qing looked around the lake. The lake was surrounded by natural rocks. He wondered what the bottom of the lake was like. If the bottom was also natural rocks, the entire lake could be enclosed with tempered glass. In the future, this lake would be a public hot spring pool where men and women could wear swimsuits and soak in the hot spring.
The next step is to extend the road to the foot of the mountain, next to the public hot spring pool, and build a VIP private hot spring bath. In addition, we will build a fully enclosed independent public hot spring bath for men and a public hot spring bath for women, so as to meet the needs of male and female tourists who do not want to wear swimsuits to bathe.
In winter, the water in the kettle was 18 degrees Celsius. Now it's early summer, and the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature should be much higher than in winter.
Dong Qing took a thermometer out of his pocket and inserted it into the water; the lake water temperature was thirty-two degrees Celsius.
Dongqing said, "Honey, the 32-degree water temperature is perfect for a bath. Come with me to the cave to change into your swimsuit and go for a swim. I want to see what the bottom of the lake is like."
Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing her husband's words and walked towards the cave with him.
Not long after, the couple changed into their swimsuits, walked to the lake, and jumped into the water.
Swimming in 32-degree water at the beginning of summer is indeed very comfortable, but it's difficult to sweat. Dongqing walked in the lake for a long time. The lake is not deep, about 1.5 meters in the deepest part and about 1.2 meters in the shallowest part.
There are many places in the lake where rocks are exposed, and it's very comfortable to soak in the water while sitting around the rocks.
The bottom of the lake is entirely made of black rock, making it a nice natural bathing pool.
Dong Qing said, "In the future, we'll relocate the cold water source and pipe the hot spring water from the cave directly into the lake, making this a great natural hot spring lake."
Li Yuzhu said, "Your idea is really good, I support you."
The couple swam in the lake for several tens of minutes, then Dongqing said, "The water here isn't warm enough; let's go soak in the hot springs in the cave."
The water temperature here is barely enough for swimming; it's hardly suitable for soaking in a hot spring. Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing her husband's words and followed him to the shore, then went ashore and headed towards the cave entrance.
The couple walked to the cave entrance, and Dong Qing bent down to start the generator, instantly illuminating the cave.
Dong Qing took his and his wife's clothes, and holding his wife's hand, walked towards the cave.
When they reached the hot spring pool, the couple no longer needed to wear swimsuits to soak in the hot spring; they could soak naked, take off their swimsuits, throw them on the ground, and then jump into the water.
After exercising last night, Li Yuzhu refrained from jumping around in the water today.
After soaking for a while and getting used to the water temperature, Dongqing picked up a flashlight and said, "Wife, you soak here for a bit, I'll go in and take a look."
Li Yuzhu said, "The water inside will be even hotter, so please be careful."
The water in the cave pool was too large. The water would gradually cool down as you went out, but it would gradually get warmer as you went in. Dongqing said, "Don't worry," and walked in with his flashlight.
This pool cave was so deep that it took several turns to reach the end of the pool, and only after walking to the very end did I emerge from it.
As you walk further in, it's the same as outside. In the middle of the cave is a ditch, and hot spring water flows out from the ditch.
Dongqing continued walking forward and made two more turns before arriving at the hot spring. The hot spring water flowed out from a hot spring cave, which was about 500mm deep, and the hot spring water had a certain pressure.
Dong Qing reached out and touched the water; it felt too hot, and it was hard to say exactly how hot it was.
He walked forward for a while and finally reached the end. There was a small hole above, through which cool air was drawn in. So this was the exit. But the hole was too small to climb up.
Dong Qing turned around and walked back, flashlight in hand.
