Chapter 3467: Superstar to Land on the Island!

Ma Lan was dissatisfied with Hani's explanation.

She immediately retorted: "What do you mean? Can't we customers enjoy ourselves when your group's boss comes? Who is really God—the customer or the boss?"

Hani was embarrassed and said: "Madam, of course only the customer is God in principle, but I'm just a lowly steward; how could I control how the group boss arranges things?"

Ma Lan countered: "Where is your group boss? Let him come see me—I want to ask him face to face whether he usually treats customers like this."

Hani was startled by Ma Lan's words and probed: "Madam, do you know who our group boss is?"

Ma Lan sneered: "I'm out here spending money on vacation—I don't need to research who your boss is. Is your boss even more formidable than the famous Bill Gates?"

Hani coughed awkwardly twice and explained softly: "Madam, according to last year's authoritative Hurun Rich List, our boss ranks third globally, while the Bill Gates you mentioned ranks eighth."

"What nonsense!" Ma Lan exclaimed, startled: "Is your boss just running a hotel? How did he make it to third on the global rich list?"

Hani introduced: "Madam, you don't know—it's not just the island you're on; all Bai Ma hotels worldwide are just a tiny part of our boss's empire. Luxury giants like LV and Hermès are now his holdings—he's an international luxury titan."

"Bernard Arnault?" Ye Chen heard the name, and a playful arc curled at the corner of his mouth. Turns out the island he painstakingly selected belongs to this rich simpleton brother. If he'd known earlier, he'd have had him bid extra for this island when buying the Soul-Returning Pill.

"Damn..."

At that moment, Ma Lan muttered: "This old dog's so rich—no wonder luxury is a profiteering industry. I don't know how much money those branded bags I bought have made for that old dog."

Hani jumped and hurriedly reminded her: "Madam, please watch your language..."

"Oh oh!" Ma Lan came to her senses, chuckling twice: "If you say he's the world's third-richest, then I definitely ought to watch my words."

After speaking, she tilted her head, thought, and asked steward Hani: "Besides that underwater SPA, which one is the best?"

Hani replied: "The best is our beach hydrotherapy center."

Ma Lan immediately nodded and waved: "Fine, book it for me—I'll go after I finish eating."

Xiao Changkun raised his hand beside them: "Book one for me too—I want to try it."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Chen and Xiao Churan: "Ye Chen, Churan, do you want to come along?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I'll pass."

Xiao Churan also nodded: "I won't go either—you guys go ahead."

Ma Lan laughed: "Fine, you two enjoy your private world!"

Xiao Churan's expression was somewhat awkward. Originally, she had been very much looking forward to this trip to the Maldives, to share a romantic private world with Ye Chen on this beautiful tropical island. But now, she always felt a big stone blocking her heart, and all her moods had vanished like smoke.

After eating, Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun went together to the beach hydrotherapy center Hani mentioned. Ye Chen asked Xiao Churan: "Honey, want to take a walk by the sea?"

Xiao Churan glanced at Ye Chen, lightly nodded, and said: "Then let's go."

Ye Chen got up, greeted Hamid, and then left the restaurant with Xiao Churan.

At that moment, Hani approached, smiling: "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, the northern bay beach now has many devil rays—would you like to go interact with them?"

"Devil rays?" Xiao Churan asked, somewhat surprised: "Are they raised by you?"

"No." Hani shook his head, smiling: "Devil rays are a native fish species here—there are many locally. At this time they like to come to the shallows to feed and play, returning to the deep sea when it gets dark. Now is the perfect time to interact with them."

Xiao Churan asked him: "Can you take us there?"

"Of course, no problem!" Hani said with a smile: "Let's take our guest golf cart—I'll escort you two."

Xiao Churan's expression had been overly plain until now, but finally a hint of joy appeared. She happily said: "Thank you so much!"

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan together boarded the golf cart Hani specially used to serve guests. The battery car ran smoothly over the island's gravel road, heading straight for the northernmost beach.

Bai Ma Island is large but has few rooms—it's a low-density vacation island, so tourist numbers aren't high. Along the long coastline, only scattered few visitors appear.

However, the northern beach, due to devil ray visits, still has a crowd of onlookers at this time—basically all brought by their stewards driving carts, and the stewards are now patiently waiting by the shore.

When Ye Chen and Xiao Churan just arrived at the beach edge, they saw the shallows full of basin-sized devil rays swimming to and fro, with some guests already in the water, interacting with the rays while taking photos and recording videos on their phones.

Since they had all changed into slippers at the restaurant, Xiao Churan stepped forward first, walking on the off-white sand, wading through the waves, and soon reached the area where devil rays gathered.

Ye Chen isn't very interested in animals, so he simply followed silently behind her, pulled out his phone to help her take photos.

Just as the guests were happily playing with the devil rays, a white-skinned steward suddenly shouted in standard English: "My God! My God! Quick—look at the work group, the manager said superstar Tavana Svet will come to our island for vacation tomorrow! Let's prepare tonight for overtime welcome decorations!"

"Really?!" Several stewards instantly went crazy, each looking delighted, then hurried to pull out their phones.

Afterward, several people jumped and cheered excitedly in place: "It's really! It's really Tavana Svet coming! My God! Quick—tell me this isn't a dream!"

Bai Ma Island has always valued guest privacy highly. Once a celebrity guest is coming, upper management maintains strict secrecy until the evening before the guest's arrival, only then notifying the staff below.

Because it's an important celebrity guest, they must prepare a special reception ceremony the night before.

And among Bai Ma Island's past guests, international superstars are not lacking—but Tavana Svet has truly never come before.

For many fans of Western pop music, Tavana Svet is in a league of her own—others may be hot, but they're all one tier below her, even if they're god-tier like Beyoncé; their influence simply can't compare to hers.

Moreover, most of these stewards are young people—exactly the age that likes Tavana Svet. They usually earn little, can't afford to travel worldwide to see her concerts, and now suddenly hear that Tavana Svet will come to Bai Ma Island tomorrow—everyone is extremely excited.

The stewards' cheers drew attention from some guests. Guests who overheard their conversation also exclaimed in delight: "Tavana Svet is coming to Bai Ma Island?! Really or fake?!"
