Chapter 25

Cheng Yuan walked to the beach, sat on the beach and stared at the sea in a daze.He thought of Wu Yue who was severely pushed to the ground by him in the morning, wondering if she was okay now?She didn't rescue Li Kejin, did she hate herself to the extreme?Lied to her again and again, even though he was unintentional, he still hurt her in the end.

Behind him, Lida looked at his back lonely, sad...

Cheng Yuan returned home distressed, but the second sister looked at him and smiled.Cheng Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Second sister, what time is it, you are still in the mood to laugh! Pippi's case is not over yet, and Uncle Fei is coming to the island again. He is because he found out about Lida's testimony to Pippi , and now he is furious at Lida, he wants to take Lida away!"

"Yes, Lida has been growing up in our family, and I have long regarded her as my own sister. But it is only natural for her father to come to pick up her daughter. Besides, Pippi's matter is indeed our Cheng family's I'm sorry Lida, at least he didn't take good care of Lida, if Uncle Fei really takes Lida home, there's nothing we can do!"

Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "I think I'm really sorry for Lida. What happened to Pippi really hurt her a lot."

"A Yuan, are you so concerned about Lida's going or staying, is it for Pippi or for yourself?"

"I..." Cheng Yuan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Actually, if you want to keep Lida, there is no way!"

"any solution?"

"You are so smart, why do you still use the second sister to teach you what to do?" The second sister laughed.

Cheng Yuan frowned, "You mean..."

The second sister said leisurely: "You grew up in the United States, you have your own way of thinking and life goals, and it involves lifelong events. The second sister doesn't want to influence your thoughts. The second sister just wants to tell you that Lida is a rare girl. ,I really like her!"

Cheng Yuan went outside and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to integrate himself into the night.Lida is a very good girl, she is gentle, beautiful, dignified and generous, and so understanding.Lida has been waiting for him on this island for 16 years, but what about herself?What did you do for her?Not only did she not, but she was deeply hurt. Not only did she not hold any resentment, but she was also willing to help him, ignoring everything for him. How could she afford to repay this affection?
A vague shadow squeezed in, and Wu Yue jumped happily in front of his eyes, like a happy butterfly; she wept with her mouth curled up, like a wounded bird, so painful and pitiful.

Cheng Yuan shook his head, waved away the shadows of Lida and Wu Yue, but fell into another thought, why did Pippi change his mind midway?Who threatened him intentionally or unintentionally?He knows that these things are very messy, but as long as he grasps one key point, all problems will be solved. He must find this key point, Cheng Yuan secretly made up his mind.

When Lida's father came to Jinchan Island, besides taking Lida back, he also wanted to talk about cooperation with Cheng. Fei and Cheng planned to cooperate in ocean shipping.

At the board meeting, Lida introduced the entire cooperation plan to the directors.

Cheng Yuan stared blankly at Lida's elegant appearance, and couldn't help recalling many scenes with her. Those scenes were so warm, just like being with family members.But this kind of warmth is always lacking something, what is missing, Cheng Yuan can't tell.

After Lida finished speaking, Cheng Yuan hadn't recovered yet, and Uncle Seven whispered to him: "Chairman, A Yuan!"

Cheng Yuan woke up and said, "Okay, everyone can discuss it later. Uncle Qi, what do you think of this plan?"

Uncle Qi nodded and said, "I think it's feasible. The ocean transportation from Southeast Asia to North and South America has been booming in recent years. We have such an ocean-going shipping company, and we should have seized this opportunity long ago!"

The other directors nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yuan didn't say much, and said casually: "The board of directors will discuss the specific details later, and we'll stop here today." He stood up, went back to the office a little distracted, and sat down to think about things.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a letter on the table.Cheng Yuan picked up the letter and signed it as Omegna. He opened the letter and found a complicated picture inside.Cheng Yuan watched in amazement, puzzled.He turned on the computer and scanned the drawing into it.Then I connected to the video of an American friend and sent the drawings.

Cheng Yuan said to the video: "Dear engineer White, this is your job, let's see what this is."

White looked at it and said, "This is a plan, and it's a plan anatomy of a ship!"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while, this ship blueprint suddenly appeared on his desk, there must be something strange, thinking of the ocean cooperation with Fei, Cheng Yuan immediately picked up the phone and called Lida.

Lida copied the documents Cheng Yuan needed to Cheng Yuan's computer, then gave the key to Cheng Yuan, and said: "This is the business information of the Fei Shi Shipping Company. This is a key. You can use it to enter the Fei Shi Shipping Company. On the company's website, I saw confidential documents at the level of the chairman and general manager, including the chart of the ship you want."

Cheng Yuan took the key: "Thank you, Lida!"

Lida forced a smile and left.

As soon as Lida left, Cheng Yuan immediately started to act.

On the computer, Cheng Yuan's scanned image was combined with a ship, and Cheng Yuan read: "Canglang No. [-]." What's so special about this ship?Cheng Yuan thought for a while, got up and left the office, he was going to check on the dock.

Before leaving the island, Cheng Yuan remembered something and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Wearing an apron, Wu Yue was doing housework in Connie's house, when suddenly the cell phone rang, Wu Yue stopped what she was doing, and said to herself: "The phone is turned off due to arrears, why did it ring?" coming?"

Wu Yue retreated to the living room and found Connie's cell phone ringing on the coffee table. After thinking for a while, she picked up the phone and connected it. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice came from inside: "Miss Kang, I have something to go out of the island. Wu Yue is here. How are you doing?
It was Cheng Yuan, Wu Yue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted at the phone: "Go to hell!" She threw away the phone, and pulled off the apron and scarf.It turns out that living in Connie's house was arranged by that bastard Cheng Yuan!Wu Yue entered the room angrily, packed her things and left.She is unwilling to accept such charity from Cheng Yuan.

Wu Yue dragged her luggage to the original hotel. The boss quickly took Wu Yue's luggage and greeted her warmly.

Wu Yue said with some embarrassment: "I...I still don't have the money to stay in the hotel."

The boss was taken aback and laughed: "Miss Wu really knows how to joke."

Wu Yue said seriously: "Really not! Boss, you introduce me to a place to make money, and then I will live in your shop. As long as it is enough to pay the rent, I am willing to do anything."

The boss looked at Wu Yue and said, "Let me think about it... Let me find someone for you. He just introduces foreigners to work locally!"

Wu Yue nodded gratefully.

30．meet by chance
Cheng Yuan was walking on the deck of the pier wearing a hard hat, followed by several bosses of the company.

A boss introduced: "... this shipping company was bought by Mr. Cheng before his death. It has a fleet and a storage terminal, which can undertake ocean cargo transportation. However, due to the fierce competition in the ocean transportation industry in the past two years, it has been losing money. Half a year ago, Fei's consortium joined in and bought 49% of the shares...At present, it is only engaged in offshore transportation and warehousing."

Cheng Yuan asked: "Has Fei's company been doing the transportation now?"

The boss replied: "Yes. And Fei's is also operating at a loss. If the plan goes well this time, it will be the first time for the fleet of Cheng's Shipping Company to conduct ocean transportation. I hope it will bring good luck."

Cheng Yuan took off his helmet, looked at the boats parked in the sea and asked, "Which boat is Canglang No. [-]?"

The boss pointed to the distance and said, "Canglang No. [-] is parked in the harbor on that side."

Cheng Yuan said: "I want to take a look on the boat, you don't have to follow me, I'll go by speedboat!"

Cheng Yuan entered the captain's cabin of Canglang No. [-] alone, and there was only a middle-aged man in a floral shirt looking forward vigorously.

Cheng Yuan asked, "Are you on this boat?"

The middle-aged man turned his head and said with a smile: "Let's just say so!"

Cheng Yuan asked suspiciously: "What do you do?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said freely: "This place is the captain's cabin, and ordinary people will not come in."

"You mean, you are the captain!"

"Haha, who are you? How did you get on the boat?" The middle-aged man laughed happily.

Cheng Yuan also laughed and said: "I will be on board soon, if you are the captain, then we will be in the same boat!"

The middle-aged man said meaningfully: "If you want to be a sailor on a boat, you must be able to withstand strong winds and waves, and you must also understand the sea. Let me test you first. Look at that boat on the pier. What are the people beside the boat doing?"

Under his signal, Cheng Yuan looked at the pier with binoculars and said, "It's removing parasitic shellfish below the waterline. I heard that if there are too many of these things, they will corrode the steel plate."

The middle-aged man said appreciatively: "Not bad! It seems that you really know a lot!"

Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "I'm learning and selling now, the people from the ocean company told me just now!"

The middle-aged man asked calmly, "Oh? Who do you know from the Sino-Ocean Company?"

"I forgot the name. It's hard to remember the names of the locals. Let me tell you, Captain, this ship won't go out to sea for a while, how boring are you in the cabin? Why don't you come out and let's chat!"

The middle-aged man said boldly: "Meeting is fate. Young man, how about going ashore with me, an old bachelor, for a drink or two?"

Cheng Yuan also became interested, "Okay, then you have to tell me about sailing!"

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said: "Deal!" The two happily drove to the shore in a speedboat.

"This is it!" The middle-aged man pointed to a bar and said to Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan frowned, but followed the middle-aged man into the room.

The lights in the bar were full of feasting, and the middle-aged man became excited as soon as he entered. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he twisted and danced.Seeing him dressed fancy and dancing on the dance floor, Cheng Yuan found it funny.The middle-aged man came to pull him, and Cheng Yuan had no choice but to follow him down to the dance floor.

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Young man, to be happy in life is to have fun, and to be a man should be happier!"

Cheng Yuan said: "Let's go back to live on the boat at night, okay?"

"I'm really interested, okay! I'll accompany you!"

After the dance, the middle-aged man's interest remained undiminished, and he dragged Cheng Yuan to the KTV to sing, Cheng Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany him.

The middle-aged man sang and laughed loudly with the girls around him, pinching and pinching.

Cheng Yuan and the girls around him were drinking wine in an orderly manner. He was already a little impatient, and it was difficult to show it.

The middle-aged man secretly looked sideways at him and nodded with a smile.

Cheng Yuan's cell phone rang, he took a look and walked out, and answered the phone at the end of the corridor with one ear plugged: "It's too noisy here! Lida, you're calling so late, what's the matter?"

Lida asked over there: "Did you go to the shipping company in Penang?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Did you see an old man there?"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "Barely considered an old man!"

"That's my dad! This is a trap he designed. He told me just now that he recognized you a long time ago, and he is testing you!"

"Ah?" Cheng Yuan hung up the phone in disbelief, turned around and walked towards the private room.

A girl has changed beside the middle-aged man, and he is pouring the girl's wine vigorously, and the girl raises her head and drinks it in one gulp.

The middle-aged man pulled up the girl's clothes, "Oh! Don't drink in such a hurry, your clothes are all wet."

The girl slapped her with a "slap" and cursed, "Rogue! What are you doing?"

The middle-aged man covered his face and said aggrievedly, "Your clothes are wet, I'll wipe them for you..."

The girl stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "What are you doing with your hands and feet? The old rascal..." She turned around and bumped into Cheng Yuan who was behind her. Both of them looked at each other in surprise, it was Wu Yue!Wu Yue pushed Cheng Yuan away and cursed: "Go away! You are a hooligan too!"

Cheng Yuan grabbed her and threw Wu Yue onto the sofa.

The middle-aged man looked at Cheng Yuan in surprise.

Wu Yue jumped up, knocked Cheng Yuan away and ran towards the door, Cheng Yuan pulled her back and threw her on the sofa, Wu Yue shouted: "What are you doing?!" Standing up and rushing towards Cheng Yuan.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "Hey! What is this for? You can't be like this. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter if I get hurt. Don't hurt the little girl."

Cheng Yuan let go of Wu Yue angrily.

The middle-aged man spoke for Wu Yue openly: "This little girl may be a novice and doesn't know the rules. Let me tell you, never be rough on a girl!"

Wu Yue wanted to cry but had no tears, and stared at Cheng Yuan unconvinced.

Cheng Yuan said angrily: "How did you come to such a place?!"

Wu Yue also said loudly: "Why can't I come if you can come?"

The middle-aged man was puzzled, "Hey, so you know each other?"

Cheng Yuan reacted and said, "Uncle Fei! Sorry, I do know her!"

Mr. Fei laughed embarrassingly, "Hahahaha, why did you suddenly become so blessed that you recognized me?"

Cheng Yuan told the truth: "Lida told me just now!" His cell phone rang again, and Cheng Yuan looked at it and said, "Uncle Fei, I'm sorry, it's the second sister's call! Help me watch her!"

Cheng Yuan went out to answer the call, Wu Yue wanted to run out again, but the door couldn't be opened, Wu Yue kicked and kicked, and shouted: "My surname is Cheng, you open the door for me, you open the door, let me go out!"

Mr. Fei said, "Little girl, don't hurt yourself. Come, come, come, sit down and talk. Why did you hit me just now?"

Wu Yue was a little embarrassed, and said falteringly: "I..."

Mr. Fei laughed and said, "You are a novice at first glance. Uncle told you that anyone who comes here to drink with you must be someone who can afford it. You must either let go, or don't come to this job. Since you are here to do this job, you should pay attention to professionalism. Do you understand?"

Embarrassed, Wu Yue quickly defended, "It's not... I, I was tricked!"

"Oh? Who lied to you, and how did they lie to you?"

"Yes, it's the intermediary. They said that it's fine to just drink with the guests. No, no..."

"I didn't say that there would be guests pulling you to drink, did I?"

Wu Yue nodded embarrassingly.

Mr. Fei laughed, "If you don't have diamonds, you can't do porcelain work. Can you have a drink?"

Wu Yue lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "...it's okay."

Mr. Fei said happily: "Haha, I just like a straightforward girl like you. Come and have a drink or two with Uncle Uncle. Uncle promises not to drink you again, and you are also angry with the boy who was rough on you just now. Why? Sample?"

Wu Yue blinked and asked, "Who are you?"

Mr. Fei: "..."

Cheng Yuan came in after calling. Wu Yue and Mr. Fei were already playing boxing games. It was obvious that Wu Yue was teaching and Lao Fei was happily learning.

Wu Yue corrected: "That's not right, it's like this - two little bees, flying to the flowers, flying..." She fanned her face, "Papa!"

Lao Fei made a dodge gesture, "Ah!"

The two of them had a great time, and no one paid any attention to Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan watched their transformation in amazement. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Coming out of the nightclub, Cheng Yuan dragged Wu Yue back to the sailor cabin of Canglang No. [-].Mr. Fei said, "Girl, we hit it off today, and we've agreed to recognize you as our goddaughter. You'll sleep in the sailor cabin here tonight, and tomorrow morning we'll go back to Golden Toad Island on the same boat!"

Wu Yue hesitated.

Mr. Fei said, "Don't worry, my father and son will not sleep tonight, and we will watch the wolves for you while reading the boat scriptures!"

Wu Yue asked in surprise: "Wolf? Are there wolves in the sea?"

Mr. Fei sighed and said: "Yes, there will be sea wolves in the sea! Remember, if you are alive, you will inevitably live with wolves!"

Wu Yue nodded with a half-understanding and walked into the cabin.

Cheng Yuan yelled: "Wu Yue..." Wu Yue rolled his eyes at him and closed the door heavily, Cheng Yuan's nose was ashamed, and Mr. Fei laughed out loud.The two walked forward side by side.

Mr. Fei said: "...you have to coax girls, you can't be like you. Besides, it's not easy for a little girl to come here from her hometown and be bullied and cheated!"
