“I am just hanging out on the ship…Well, I will meet you at the restaurant during dinner.”
Luo Qiu nodded.
At this time, he and You Ye were already in the courtyard of the bow. The Baiyu Cruise Ship had not officially set sail. So, the wind blowing in was not too strong. There were also some tourists who were getting onboard the ship. It would be about another hour before they could set sail.
With the time taken into consideration, it would probably be midnight when the Baiyu Cruise Ship set sail from the estuary. The cruise ship would probably arrive at the destination tomorrow morning.
However, many tourists who had boarded the cruise ship earlier had already walked out of their room and started to tour around the ship – Employees who supposedly came from the same company were standing not far away from Luo Qiu. At this moment, they were gathering around and were preparing to take a group photo before the ship set sail.
At this moment, You Ye said, “Master, there is a thief over there.”
Luo Qiu looked over to the direction where You Ye pointed out to him.
What he saw was a person who was approximately twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, in a casual attire and a camera around his neck was skillfully moving as he bumped into different people. He then effortlessly took belongings from other persons’ bags.
The thief did not notice anything more than just the presence of the club owner and his servant. He frowned while murmuring his suspicions. He then quickly left the place, planning to find another place to commit his crimes.
“He is very cautious,” said Luo Qiu casually. He then walked towards the sightseeing bridge that was located at the second floor of the courtyard.
There was a warning sign board set up straight in front of the stairs leading to the second floor which denoted that the premise was temporarily closed…It was believed that there was a swimming pool and a small playground on the second floor. It was probably not ready for use yet.
When Luo Qiu boarded the ship, he realized that someone had arrived before him.
The other person was in his thirties but with an appearance of someone in their forties. He was wearing a wrinkled suit with no bow tie. At that time, he was hiding sneakily under the sightseeing bridge located on the third floor, continually making a banging sound.
The man had a small notebook in his hand. What was written in the notebook was not known.
“This area is not open to the public yet. What are you doing up here?”
Shockingly, this was the old man who was involved in a struggle with another person on the pier, which was witnessed by Boss Luo… Luo Qiu was intrigued and approached the two.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “You…are you the captain of Baiyu Cruise Ship?”
“I am.” The old man… The captain nodded. He did not want to say too much to the man and straightaway said, “This premise is only open to the public at 3 pm. If you are bored, stay inside the cabin of the ship. There are plenty of entertainment facilities and shops for you to be entertained.”
The middle-aged man said calmly, “Captain, can you accommodate…This is my business card. My surname is Qian, Qian Guoliang.”
Qian Guoliang took a business card from his pocket and gave it to the old captain. The old captain frowned and glanced at the card. He looked a little surprised, “Are you from the Carnival Cruise Ship Group?”
Qian Guoliang said with a smile, “Captain, in any case, our group was the one who introduced this Baiyu Cruise Ship. It was a production of our group… So, can’t you really accommodate us just for this time?”
The old captain coldly snorted, “So what if you guys produced it? The Baiyu Cruise Ship has already been sold to our company. Now, it is our company’s private property. I ask you to leave immediately! Have I made myself clear?!”
“Captain, your company and our company are cooperating with each other for the long-term. Will this be appropriate?”
“Shall I call someone to invite you down?” said the old captain sternly.
Seeing that the captain was stubborn, Qian Guoliang gave up and said, “Alright, alright, I will come back later. There is no need to make everyone look bad.”
When the old captain saw Qian Guoliang go down, he let out a breath. However, he took a mop from the side and wiped the traces left by Qian Guoliang’s shoes on the deck.
However, after mopping for a while, the old captain was covered with cold sweat and his lips turned purplish. The old captain took a few deep breaths and let a sigh before sitting down. He looked at the front indifferently, and said lonely, “I am getting old and this old machine is broken… I won’t be able to last long.”
After a long time, the old captain stood up and patted the place where he sat. He then walked into the Baiyu Cruise Ship from there.
“Master, if the captain goes to sea, I’m afraid it’s a little hard on him.” A glimmer of light flashed through You Ye’s blue eyes. She said softly beside Luo Qiu, “As for this Qian Guoliang, he is just lying. He is not looking for inspiration. He seems to be looking for something.”
You Ye nodded.
…
Baiyu Cruise Ship officially set sail. When it was time for dinner, Ren Ziling and Li Zi came to the restaurant together and found that Luo Qiu and You Ye had arrived ahead of them. Both of them had managed to get a place.
“I’m not hungry. Let’s wait until Uncle Ma comes,” said Luo Qiu indifferently.
“Old Ma? I bet we will probably be tormented to death if we wait for him. Your aunt dragged him to cruise around the ship… Enough said. I’m thirsty. I’ll get some drinks and come back.” Ren Ziling said, and quickly walked towards the beverage area.
She took a small box out of the bag and kissed it gently towards the box. “Medicine, medicine, whether I will have a grandson in my arms will depend on you. You must really work! May Bodhisattva bless me! May Bodhisattva bless me!” ”
After a while, Ren Ziling walked back with a tray carrying four drinks. Like a waiter, she gave Li Zi a cup, “Li Zi, this cup of papaya milk is for you!”
“Thank you.” The maid took the drink with both her hands.
“Kid, don’t say I never treat you well! Freshly squeezed watermelon juice! Thank me for this!” Ren Ziling picked up the cup and delivered it to Luo Qiu.
Ren Ziling was seen fuming with rage between gritted teeth and whispered to Officer Ma, “Ma Houde…You and I are officially at war!
“What?”
