Chapter 318: Urban Card-Drawing System (24)
Money makes the mare go.
Not to mention Boss Li, a man who has been wanting to sell off his company with all his heart.
Having settled this Trading in mere minutes, Xie Yang looked at Feng Xuanxuan with a beaming smile:
"I only invested in Galaxy Entertainment for the sake of our old classmate! You better work hard! After all, the more you earn, the more I earn!"
"..."
Crazy, this is crazy!
Feng Xuanxuan was practically going insane!
Damn it, how did Xie Yang end up becoming her boss?
When she originally chose this small, broken company, it was to make it convenient for her to acquire it in the future, not to do Xie Yang a favor!
What should she do now?
Ahhh!
She signed for ten years! Ten years!!!
At the time, she thought the longer the contract, the better the company benefits she would enjoy immediately; anyway, in a few years she would become the company boss, and this low-level contract would naturally become void.
Who knew that Xie Yang would damn well stick her oar in and become her boss...
This piece of paper had actually become a deed of indenture trapping her!
She wanted to terminate the contract, but the breach of contract penalty was so high it made her go numb.
If she asked her family for help, she worried her grandfather would be completely disappointed in her and not give her shares in the future.
If she asked Yang Kai for help, it turned out this bastard was still in Sanya, and had already replaced her with a young model by his side.
Feng Xuanxuan was beyond tears and could only obediently listen to the arrangements of her new boss, Xie Yang.
While feeling resentful, she prayed: please don't ban her or put her on ice.
Xie Yang: You're overthinking it!
As a boss, how could she casually ban or put an employee on ice? Wouldn't that be throwing her investment money into the water?
Not only did she not put her on ice, she even remotely assigned a rigid, workaholic manager to Feng Xuanxuan.
From then on, Feng Xuanxuan fell into a hellish life of working in the entertainment industry—
While she was still recording "Idol Creation Camp" on one side, her manager had already lined up her next announcement on the other.
Of course, she wasn't the only signed artist in the company; good announcements naturally had to be divided among more outstanding artists, and the quality of those that fell to Feng Xuanxuan wasn't great.
But it didn't matter, if the quality wasn't there, she'd make up for it with quantity!
Every day, Feng Xuanxuan was either rushing to an announcement or on the way to one; she was almost depressed from all the rushing...
Xie Yang and her group went out to sea for half a month, and their biggest harvest was catching many types of seafood that couldn't be caught in coastal waters:
Lobster, ghost shrimp, and Mantis Shrimp as long as an arm!
The king of groupers—the giant grouper!
Emperor Crab larger than a washbasin!
The nearly extinct "seafood gold"—wild large yellow croaker!
Of course, being lucky enough to catch these top-tier seafoods was thanks to the interstellar-brand fish food Xie Yang redeemed from the System Mall for 99 points.
With this bag of fish food, not a single sea fishing attempt failed; not only was there a harvest every time, but every catch was huge.
The others just thought they were lucky.
Although there was no lack of people among them who had been to sea, such as the captain and crew, all of whom had rich experience at sea, and it wasn't as if Song Xi hadn't been sea fishing before, but coming to Nanyang to sea fish was indeed a first, so they assumed the seafood here was easier to catch than in other waters and would take the bait easily.
Song Xi even excitedly went deep-sea diving once, picking up quite a few sea cucumbers, Abalone, and geoducks from the seabed; compared to those sold in domestic seafood markets, they were indeed much larger, and without complex Cooking, just steaming them to eat was very delicious.
Thinking about it, it made sense; wild seafood living in pure waters far from pollution, where fishing boats rarely came to catch them—how could they not be large and delicious?
Thinking this way, everyone felt even luckier; after all, the high seas were so vast, and one couldn't just find a rich fishing ground anywhere.
If not for the worry that their supplies wouldn't be enough for the return trip, they would have really liked to drift here for a few more days.
Xie Yang decided to go back and properly develop the entertainment company she bought for 50 million, striving to buy a yacht in a few years; it didn't need to be as luxurious as the one Song Bokang bought, as long as it could take her out to sea for a breeze and sea fishing, she wouldn't have to worry about having seafood to eat.
In this world, the incident of the small Japan country dumping nuclear wastewater into the sea hadn't happened; perhaps the timeline was different, or perhaps it was some parallel universe. Regardless, since the seafood was currently safe, there was nothing wrong with tasting more while there was a chance.
It was a pity that the space that came with the Main System could only store materials produced by the system, and this Sub-system didn't provide storage like the one in the seventies.
Looking at the seafood that they kept catching more of and could never finish eating, Xie Yang expressed regret.
Regret was regret, but the yacht's cold storage was still used to quick-freeze quite a bit to take back for Song Bokang and her dad to eat.
But the taste of quick-frozen seafood was definitely different from fresh seafood. Compared to Fish and Shrimp, Crab and shellfish like Abalone were better; keeping them in a bathtub with seawater and adding some oxygen was enough to last until they got home.
"Dad! Why are you here?"
Just as the yacht docked at the Jiangcheng pier and before she had even gotten off the deck, Xie Yang spotted Comrade Lao Xie with sharp eyes and waved at him happily.
Father Xie cheerfully returned the gesture.
He happened to be holding a government-led investment promotion meeting at the Far Voyage Building not far from this pier today; after the meeting, he found a teahouse nearby to sit for a while, timing it to pick up his daughter.
Because Song Yin was quite busy, his trip to Sanya to record the show was snatched from a busy schedule, and as soon as he finished recording, he went into the crew to film, so the return trip was escorted by Song Xi all the way back, before sailing the yacht north to the Yingkou pier.
Father Xie appreciated the brothers' favor and had his secretary prepare two generous gifts in advance, one for each brother.
Of course, there was also a return gift for Song Bokang; Father Xie planned to take his daughter to Hulunbuir for a few days after he finished being busy with this period, to thank his old classmate in person.
Father Xie played the host and treated Song Xi to a meal.
Chen Jiani and her cousin had a car from home to pick them up, so they didn't eat together, each carrying a box of the seafood they had caught, and went home in high spirits.
After this half-month yacht trip, Chen Jiani had lost another 5 kilograms compared to before they set off; her figure now couldn't be called fat at all, at most it was plump.
After losing weight, her face shape gradually leaned toward a melon-seed face, and coupled with her bright and vivid looks, she was a proper little beauty, and her every move was clearly much more confident.
On the return trip, Xie Yang noticed several times that the second brother Song's gaze would land on her little friend as if by chance; the little friend's heart hadn't yet blossomed and she was relatively slow in this regard, but Xie Yang had eaten Pork and seen pigs run, so how could she not understand?
Therefore, after the meal, Father Xie had things to do and went back to the company first, and Xie Yang sent Song Xi back to the pier, giving him a few serious and earnest pointers on the way:
"Second Brother, if you like my little friend, I can help you sound out her thoughts, but you must first ask your own heart clearly: are you serious? If not, then don't go provoking her."
"..."
Is she being this direct?
Song Xi was spoken to by her until his handsome face flushed, the redness spreading all the way to the roots of his ears.
Seeing this, Xie Yang couldn't help but be amused: "Second Brother, you haven't even dated before, have you? That was my misunderstanding then! I thought that since you're so handsome, you must have had a few girlfriends, but I didn't expect... you work as a diver, so you should have plenty of opportunities to meet the opposite sex, right? Has no one pursued you?"
"..."
