Chapter 32. Poaching

     It has become Li Yaolin’s professional habit to recruit people wherever she goes. She is like a bad woman who casts a wide net. When she meets someone who makes a good impression, she wants to poach them to work for Poseidon together on Xingzhou Island.

 

 

 

     Although she does not insist that the other party come to Xingzhou Island, her eager attitude for talent is enough to make the invited person feel her sincerity. After all, when companies recruit people nowadays, how can the boss interview employees in person? !

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin left her phone number for the female coach and said, “If you haven’t considered it, or if you have a suitable coach, you can introduce them to me. The salary is negotiable.”

 

 

 

     The female coach reacted and said hurriedly, “Although I have no intention of changing jobs for the time being, I can help you ask in our club.”

 

 

 

     “Thank you!” Li Yaolin said, “By the way, my last name is Li, Li Yaolin.”

 

 

 

     “My name is Zhou Yingying.” The female coach paused and asked her, “Are you going to Qionghai for inspection these days?”

 

 

 

     “I will fly to Malaysia tomorrow. Are you familiar with foreign diving holy places? Are there any What suggestions do you have? “

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying asked in surprise: “Are you going to experience all the diving projects in all the diving resorts? In addition to Koh Samui and Phuket in Thailand, I am more familiar with Semporna in Malaysia, where there are deep diving projects, the price is not expensive, the key is that the water quality is very clear when the weather is good, and there are more coral reefs and tropical fish below. As for other islands, I rarely go there, so I can’t provide much advice. “

 

 

 

     “That’s enough, thank you!”

 

 

 

     After returning to the island, Li Yaolin changed back into her swimsuit and went to experience other water projects, such as banana boats and motorboats.

 

 

 

     These water projects are all projects she is considering developing on Xingzhou Island in the future. If she experiences them now, she can make fewer trips in the future.

 

 

 

     However, except for the diving project, which still has some value to be developed, most of the other water projects give her the feeling that the products are seriously homogenized.

 

     Not to mention that the Romantic Sea House Resort already has related water projects, these projects themselves cannot make Xingzhou Island stand out from many tourist islands. Why should tourists go all the way to an isolated island to experience projects that can be experienced in water parks and holiday homes?

 

 

 

     The biggest advantage of Xingzhou Island is its good water quality and rich marine resources. Whether it is a banana boat or a motorboat, it is difficult to reflect this advantage.

 

 

 

     If it were not for technical limitations, her ideas could even be more imaginative. For example, just like in science fiction movies, she could build an underwater aquarium, a marine life gallery, etc., so that tourists can see the scenery of the seabed without diving; and build an underwater palace and a deep-sea version of Disneyland…

 

 

 

     Putting away these messy ideas, Li Yaolin went to take a shower and changed back into her T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. The female tourist who was drying her hair in the locker room looked at her for a long time. When she saw that she was about to leave, she hurriedly turned off the hair dryer and asked her: “Hey, girl, don’t leave yet!”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin turned around: “Is there anything?”

 

 

 

     “I saw you playing water sports on the island for a day, so I wanted to ask you, what sunscreen do you use, it seems that you haven’t gotten darker at all?”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

 

 

 

     She said why she felt that there were a lot of people secretly looking at her just now, it turned out that everyone was curious about why she didn’t get sunburned or tanned!

 

 

 

     The female tourist who asked her this question was visibly sunburned, and her neck and arms were as red as if they were scalded by boiling water.

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin answered a brand of sunscreen spray that she often used.

 

 

 

     “I haven’t heard of this brand!” The female tourist thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what brand of sunscreen spray this was.

 

     “It’s normal that I haven’t heard of the miscellaneous brands I bought on Taobao.” Li Yaolin said, pausing, “And I think it may not be because of the sunscreen spray, but because I am more sun-resistant.”

 

 

 

     Female tourist: “…”

 

 

 

     I have heard of anti-sugar and anti-oxidation, but I have never heard of sun-resistant. In Qionghai’s weather, iron can be melted by the sun, let alone people.

 

 

 

     Whether the female tourist believes it or not, Li Yaolin left the locker room with her bag on her back. As a result, not long after she left, she saw Zhou Yingying walking towards her.

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying’s face, which was sunburned red and black, had no expression. What was more eye-catching was that her eyes were red and she looked absent-minded. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had just cried.

 

 

 

     “Coach Zhou, are you off work?” Li Yaolin took the initiative to greet her.

 

     Zhou Yingying came back to her senses. When she met someone she knew in such an embarrassing situation, she subconsciously avoided her gaze: “It’s you, Boss Li.”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin said: “I’m younger than you, you can call me by my name.”

 

 

 

     She heard Zhou Yingying’s nasal tone and was sure that the other party must have encountered something, so she asked: “Coach Zhou, what happened?”

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying’s nose was sour and she almost cried again, but she took a deep breath and suppressed the grievance that surged in her heart: “It’s okay.”

 

 

 

     After that, she turned her face away and walked into the shower room.

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin was not a person who meddles in other people’s business. She also knew that her relationship with her was not good enough for the other party to confide in her. Seeing this, she left sensibly.

 

 

 

     When she passed by the diving shop where Zhou Yingying worked, she saw the police there, so she stood in the crowd and watched for a while, and then she found out what happened from the onlookers.

 

 

 

     It turned out that Zhou Yingying was molested by a male tourist when she took tourists to experience diving in the afternoon.

 

     The male tourist took advantage of Zhou Yingying’s guidance to do some indecent actions to her, and she changed her face on the spot. After that, the other party apologized very sincerely, saying that he did not mean it. He was a little flustered because it was his first time to experience diving.

 

 

 

     In the past, I had only heard of male coaches sexually harassing female tourists, but I had never heard of male tourists sexually harassing female coaches. Her colleagues next to her also advised her to keep quiet, so she didn’t say anything, but just avoided the tourist as much as possible.

 

 

 

     But just after they went into the sea, the male tourist became more aggressive and took advantage of her whenever he had the chance. Zhou Yingying believed that the other party’s behavior was not only obscene, but also threatened her safety. During her resistance, the two of them almost had an accident.

 

 

 

     The coach who was with Zhou Yingying found something wrong and hurried over to stop it.

 

 

 

     The male tourist turned around and accused Zhou Yingying of being unprofessional and almost killing him. He shouted for Zhou Yingying to compensate and apologize.

 

     Zhou Yingying simply called the police and asked them to handle the matter, but Zhou Yingying’s boss accused her of making a big fuss and affecting the reputation of the store. She couldn’t stand this grievance and had a big fight with them.

 

 

 

     After the police came, Zhou Yingying told the truth, and another coach and two other diving tourists testified that the male tourist did touch her, and the truth came out.

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying was also criticized by the boss of the diving shop. The boss thought she was very unprofessional in handling such matters. If they pulled off the tube of the gas cylinder or damaged the instrument during the pushing and pulling, it would cost lives.

 

 

 

     The situation in the sea is complicated, and diving is a very dangerous sport. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Compared with being molested, life is more important, right? What’s more, she will not suffer any loss if the other party touches her in a diving suit. Her psychological tolerance is so poor that the boss questioned whether she is suitable for this industry.

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying was so angry that she cried because of her boss’s words.

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin also saw what happened later.

 

 

 

     After the male tourist was taken away by the police, many onlookers were dismissed. The owner of the diving shop angrily asked someone to find Zhou Yingying and said that she must eliminate the negative impact on the store today.

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin sneered on the spot and said, “If you ask me, her way of handling it is indeed poor, but you should also apologize to her.”

 

 

 

     The owner of the diving shop was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that she was talking to him, he asked instead: “Who are you?”

 

 

 

     “Tourist.”

 

 

 

     “Then what does this have to do with you?”

 

 

 

     “I spent money here today, can’t I give feedback on my travel experience?”

 

 

 

     The boss choked and seemed not to want to talk to her, but he was very angry about her saying that she pushed the pot on him: “Why do you want me to apologize to her?”

 

 

 

     “Employees are sexually harassed and molested. As a boss, shouldn’t you stand up to protect employees and seek justice for them? If the other party is still in the training stage, If we stop his behavior, change his coach, and make decisions for the employees, will there be no follow-up incidents? It was you, the boss, who did not handle this matter well, but blamed the employees afterwards. Shouldn’t you apologize? “

 

 

 

     The owner of the diving shop said angrily: “I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things!”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin said: “I don’t want to teach you how to do things, but I can’t agree with your logic of saying that “life is more important than being molested.”

 

 

 

     “It is true that when our personal safety is illegally violated, the most important thing is of course to find a way to survive first, but this is not a reason to turn the spearhead to the victim who “almost caused an accident because of resisting illegal infringement.”

 

     “It was the villains who first extended their evil hands to women, which led to the threat to their lives. Their behavior was the root of the threat. You shouldn’t just say ‘You were just molested, but he almost lost his life’ to cover up the root of the problem.

 

 

 

     “Besides, as a boss, if your employee’s handling method is wrong, you shouldn’t bring this matter to the public.

 

     “You criticized the employees in public. It seems that you are thinking about the safety of tourists. In fact, you just want to transfer the conflict to the employees and let them bear the blame. All the negative impressions of tourists are caused by this incident. And you are still as innocent as a white lotus in the prosperous times?”

 

     The owner of the diving shop was flushed by her and angrily refuted: “Have you ever done business? Have you ever been a boss? Have you ever managed employees? You don’t know the difficulties of being a boss. Your ideas are too naive and childish. People who have no business acumen and a sense of the overall situation, what right do you have to accuse me of wrongdoing? Get out.”

 

     “My ideas may be immature in doing business, but at least I will not lose my bottom line in being a person.” Li Yaolin pouted and walked out of the diving shop. Zhou Yingying, who had changed back into her regular clothes and appeared at the door of the diving shop, called her: “Thank you for speaking for me!”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin said: “In fact, there are still many enthusiastic tourists. Many people spoke for you just now, but you just didn’t hear it, so you don’t have to thank me specially, and you don’t have to feel burdened and stressed because of this.”

 

 

 

     This made Zhou Yingying feel the kindness from strangers. She put away all her grievances and sadness, and said brightly: “Yes, there are still many righteous people, and I am also grateful to them, but this does not conflict with my special thanks to you.”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said: “Okay, then I accept your thanks.”

 

 

 

     She rolled her eyes and thought, how can she miss such a good opportunity to poach people?

 

     So she made an invitation: “Are you off work? Do you have time tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner.”

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying stared at her, making her feel uneasy, and then she laughed out loud: “If you were a man, I might think you were trying to pick me up.”

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin: “?”

 

 

 

     You are not instant noodles, why should I pick you up?

 

     After she came to her senses, she reflected, “I was abrupt. I just wanted to use this rare opportunity to see if I could recruit more talents.”

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying smiled and said, “I understand what you mean. You are joking!”

 

 

 

     “But I am not joking.”

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying restrained her smile and sighed, “I really didn’t handle this matter well. You don’t have to do anything that affects your judgment because of sympathy for me.”

 

 

 

     “Don’t worry, although our island has just been developed, we will never tolerate or condone such things. When the time comes, we will also conduct training to tell employees how to deal with such situations. Besides, to be honest, you have experienced it yourself. I believe that you can handle similar situations better in the future.”

 

 

 

     Zhou Yingying was moved by what she heard. She said seriously, “Okay, I will give you an answer after I finish dealing with things here.”

 

 

 

     She smiled again, “As for dinner, save it. My heart has decided to run with you. There is no need to waste another meal to buy me off. Aren’t you going to Malaysia tomorrow? You should rest early tonight!”
