Chapter 65. Face Slap

     In order to cope with the surge in the number of tourists, the employees of Xingzhou Island started intensive preparations a few days before the National Day. During the National Day, they only had one day off. Under the high-intensity work state, they were already exhausted, so this time everyone had two to three days of rotation time according to different working hours and positions.

 

     After moving the office, the employees began to go back for vacation in batches according to the rotation schedule.

 

     When Li Yaolin finished decorating her office and came out, she passed by the office of the Environmental Design Team. and saw that only Zheng Xuan was there, so she asked: “Brother Xuan, aren’t you going to take a rotation tomorrow? Why don’t you leave?”

 

     Zheng Xuan shook her head: “My parents are coming over, I will accompany them to play on the island for a few days.”

 

     “Then have fun.”

 

     Zheng Xuan asked her: “I remember that you don’t seem to have a rest, right? Don’t you need to take a day or two off from work and do something for yourself?”

 

     Li Yaolin blinked: “I have always been doing my own thing!”

 

     The whole island is hers. Isn’t she doing her own thing by operating and developing the island?

 

     “…” 

 

     Zheng Xuan said: “You sound really Versailles!”

 

     Li Yaolin didn’t want to do that either, but now she had nothing else to do except thinking about how to make Xingzhou Island more valuable so that she could sell it for more money.

 

 

 

     Little Mermaid: “…”

 

     Resentful island owner, have you not given up the idea of selling the island for cash? !

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin touched her chin: “But you reminded me that I still have a lot of things to deal with!

 

     “The buffet restaurant has just been upgraded, and we need to increase the variety of seafood we supply.

 

     “We need to find a chance to talk to the president of the fishing association about the fishing competition venue in the Beibu Gulf.

 

     “Also, I plan to set up a sea fishing club. Not for making money, just to give back to Yu Fan, after all, he can bribe the anglers who come to participate in the “Tuna Cup” event, so I can also steal his club members…”

 

     With this number, Li Yaolin still has a lot of work to deal with. She doesn’t have time to chat with Zheng Xuan here, so she rolls back to the office. 

 

     Zheng Xuan: “…”

 

     Sanniang… is really a desperate Sanniang.

 

     Li Yaolin’s decision to set up a sea fishing club was not entirely an impulsive act to retaliate against Yu Fan. During the “war” with Yu Fan, she learned about several large and small sea fishing clubs in the oil market and found that these were all business organizations.

 

     There are not many clubs that can compete with Yu Fan, so Yu Fan can be seen in various fishing associations and fishing forums. All fishing competitions and sea fishing activities, as long as they are not named after clubs or associations, will eventually become “insignificant” activities, if Li Yaolin had not caught a tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms, shocking the sea fishing community in Lingnan Province, I am afraid that no one would take the “Tuna Cup” of Xingzhou Island seriously.

 

     If Xingzhou Island wants to break this near-monopoly, it must do so. If there is no way, then it is best to set up a non-profit sea fishing club, tear a hole from their inside, and then gradually encroach on the other party’s territory…

 

     Li Yaolin certainly did not have such a deep calculation, this was all the ideas given to her by the capable subordinates below.

 

     Li Yaolin sighed while studying: He is really worthy of being an old fox who has been struggling in society for many years and has full business war skills. This means of revenge is both high-end and elegant, and it is more in line with people’s imagination of the concept of urban business war than robbing official seals and stealing the opponent’s safe.

 

 

 

…

 

     Yu Fan did not know Li Yaolin’s calculations, and after the “Tuna Cup”, he was much more obedient. God, firstly, he was embarrassed to see people because he had lost face before; secondly, he also wanted to see if Li Yaolin would retaliate against him.

 

     However, after waiting for so long, he didn’t hear any tricks from Xingzhou Island, so he gradually relaxed: no matter what, Li Yaolin was just a girl in her early twenties. As long as the people behind her didn’t make a move, he had nothing to fear!

 

     However, the president of the Provincial Leisure Fishing Association came to him several times, urging him to implement the matter of borrowing the venue of Xingzhou Island to hold the competition.

 

     He perfunctorily responded several times, and the president saw some clues. He could only persuade the president: “I think Beihai is good, why choose Xingzhou Island? The owner of Xingzhou Island is not easy to deal with. Several big variety shows wanted to cooperate with her before, but she rejected them mercilessly. This matter caused a sensation in the entertainment industry!”

 

     The president said: “Isn’t the variety show’s request too much? We only need some venues. We will prepare the boats, fishing gear and bait for boat fishing. There is no need to bother Xingzhou Island. In addition, Xingzhou Island has a ready-made environment for rock fishing and shore fishing, and our competition will not affect the operation of Xingzhou Island. We can buy all the fish caught. If Xingzhou Island wants to recycle them, we have no objection…”

 

     Yu Fan did not expect the president to be so difficult to fool. He said half-truthfully: “I wanted to contact the other party before, but the other party ignored me.”

 

     He did go to Li Yaolin through Fang Xinhua, but the latter ignored him. What can he do?!

 

     The president suddenly asked: “Do you have a grudge with Xingzhou Island? “

 

     Those who can become the president of the association are basically smart people who are well-known in the society. Yu Fan has a very negative attitude towards this matter. He has been making excuses and not wanting to complete it. The president has long suspected that he has a conflict with Xingzhou Island.

 

     Yu Fan saw that he could not hide it any longer, so he complained: “I was forced to do this. You don’t know how outrageous Xingzhou Island is…”

 

     He packaged himself as a poor little person who was targeted by Xingzhou Island and robbed of a lot of market.

 

     The president took a sip of tea and said: “Okay, I won’t let you do this, so as not to let you suffer grievances. “

 

     Yu Fan’s heart skipped a beat. The president only said that he was not allowed to do it, but he did not say that it would not be held on Xingzhou Island. It can be seen that the president was determined to hold a fishing competition on Xingzhou Island this time.

 

     His face was very ugly. He wanted to stop it, but his voice in the association was not as loud as the president. Besides, promoting the “Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomeration” was an official strategic policy, so there was no reason for him to stop it.

 

     He could only watch another vice president contact Li Yaolin.

 

 

 

…

 

 

     When the vice president of the Leisure Fishing Association contacted Li Yaolin, the latter was being dragged by Zheng Xuan’s parents to wait in line at the seafood buffet restaurant.

 

     After Li Yaolin went to answer the phone, Zheng Xuan heard her parents muttering about the expensive consumption of restaurants in the scenic area, and said helplessly: “Dad, Mom, we can just eat employee meals, no money.”

 

     Zheng Xuan’s father taught her with a stern face: “Your current job was introduced by your classmate. It is all your classmate’s credit that you can become a supervisor. How can we not treat them to a good meal? Eating employee meals is not good! “

 

     Zheng Xuan: “…”

 

     What’s the point of inviting someone to eat at their own restaurant!

 

     She opened her mouth and swallowed her words back.

 

     Forget it, what my parents said makes sense. For so long, she really hasn’t thanked Sanniang properly.

 

     Mother Zheng said rudely: “Besides, your classmate seems to have a higher position than you? You have to make good friends with her, so that she will be willing to help you in the future! “

 

     Zheng Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn’t deny it.

 

     When Li Yaolin came back after the call, the waiter called their numbers. Zheng Xuan went in with her parents first, and Li Yaolin also put herself in the identity of a customer and walked into the restaurant with curiosity. Since the restaurant was upgraded to one star, she has not experienced any difference from the one-star restaurant!

 

     After the seafood buffet restaurant was upgraded to 2 stars, the seafood area unlocked another batch of seafood. On the basis of the original seafood, seven kinds of seafood were added, including sea urchin, conger eel, sea fungus, razor clams, salmon, black pomfret, and mackerel.

 

     The smart butler will refer to the business situation of the seafood buffet restaurant in the first three days to formulate the number of wholesale seafood for the day to reduce waste. It will also automatically collect diners’ comments, and there is no need to manually count the good ones on the card. Review the situation.

 

     From the outside, the restaurant looks the same as before, but once you enter, you will find that it is brighter and more spacious. Although the number of seats has not changed, the comfort level has been significantly improved. Especially for the revolving self-service hot pot seats, you no longer have to worry about bumping into the people next to you because of your big movements, and there are more empty spaces on the table to put plates.

 

     Most tourists came here for the first time, so they didn’t notice the difference, but Zheng Xuan noticed it, but she was just a little dazed, thinking that there were too many people here when she came last time, resulting in a spatial cognitive error.

 

     After lunch, Li Yaolin did not disturb the family of three to chat about family matters, and consciously went back to work.

 

 

 

     Zheng Xuan took her parents to the white beach for a massage, and Zheng’s father asked: “What’s the matter with Sun Fen’s lawsuit with someone?”

 

     “Has their family bothered you recently?” Zheng Xuan asked back.

 

     “Sun Fen came home with gifts during the National Day, but we drove him away.”

 

     Zheng Xuan frowned: “Don’t let him in next time. Who knows what he will do?”

 

     Zheng’s father said: “We didn’t expect him to come all the way to our hometown. He always wanted to see you and apologize to you. He said that he was wrong in the past and he was sorry for you.”

 

     “Dad, Mom, I don’t want to forgive him.” Zheng Xuan’s eyes were red. She had a physical condition that made it difficult for her to get pregnant. After this miscarriage, even if she got pregnant by chance, she would easily miscarry again, resulting in habitual miscarriage. In other words, she would hardly have the opportunity to be a mother in the future. Why did Sun Fen get her forgiveness?

 

     Zheng’s father also thought of this and said angrily: “How can he ask for your forgiveness? He doesn’t deserve it!”

 

     Zheng’s mother said: “We are just worried that he will come to you and hurt you again.”

 

     “I am doing well here. My parents should have seen it. The public security here is very good. I am an employee here. The other party dare not act wildly here. And he has been blacklisted by Xingzhou Island. He can’t buy a ticket and can’t come here.”

 

     Zheng’s father and mother breathed a sigh of relief: “Sure enough, bad people are not welcome anywhere. They deserve to be blacklisted!”

 

     Soon, they found that they were relieved too early.

 

 

 

     Although Sun Fen was blacklisted, as the trial date of the lawsuit got closer and closer, the Sun family became more anxious.

 

     The lawyer they found said that the evidence prepared by the other party was very sufficient, and this lawsuit would be lost in nine out of ten cases, so they should be mentally prepared. It would be best if they could reach a settlement agreement out of court. If they lost, a public apology would be considered light. They were afraid that they would be sentenced and their jobs might be lost.

 

     For their son, Sun Fen’s parents grabbed two tickets to Xingzhou Island and came to Xingzhou Island accompanied by Sun’s relatives.

 

 

 

——

 

 

 

     At the bustling Baoren Port Xingzhou Island Resort Pier, the boat leaving the island had just docked, and tourists got off the boat one after another and walked towards the parking lot.

 

     Zheng Xuan held her mother’s arm and listened to her earnest teachings: “It’s windy at night, you have to wear a coat to avoid catching a cold. Don’t work overtime on weekdays, it’s not good for your health. And…”

 

     “Mom, I know, you see my face is so rosy, you should know that I am living well here.”

 

     Zheng’s mother wanted to say something else, but she had a good experience here in the past two days. I don’t know if it was because the beach massage was good. She used to have backaches when she slept on the soft bed in the hotel, but she didn’t feel that way these two days.

 

     The same is true for Zheng’s father. He originally had rheumatism and thought he would get sick when he came to the beach this time, but there was no sign of rheumatism at all! If there were not a lot of things at home that he couldn’t let go, he would want to come here to retire!

 

     At this time, the family of three saw the Sun family suddenly appearing here, and their happy mood immediately disappeared.

 

     Sun Fen’s parents ran over: “Zheng Xuan, we finally see you!”

 

     Zheng Xuan stared at Sun Fen with a cold look.

 

     Sun Fen opened his mouth, wanting to tell some past events to soften Zheng Xuan’s heart, but the latter saw through his tricks and said coldly: “It’s useless to find me. I won’t help you persuade Sanniang to withdraw the lawsuit.”

 

     Zheng Xuan’s straightforwardness tore through the hypocritical mask of the Sun family. They were too lazy to flatter Zheng Xuan and said: “You call that woman and ask her to come. We will admit our mistakes to her in person and ask for her forgiveness.”

 

    Zheng Xuan “sneered” and said: “That woman? You don’t even have the most basic respect to call each other by name, and you still want to ask for her forgiveness? Is this your attitude to admit your mistakes?”

 

     Because their dispute attracted the attention of tourists and blocked the road, the security guard came over and asked: “What’s the matter? Go to the side first to solve it. There are people coming and going here. What should I do if I get knocked down and trampled here?”

 

     Zheng Xuan did not display her work permit during her vacation, and she rarely left the island, so the security guard did not recognize her.

 

     Zheng Xuan didn’t want to add trouble to the logistics support work of Xingzhou Island, so she said to her parents: “Let’s go to the station first, don’t waste time.”

 

     Zheng’s father and mother were worried and left like this. Zheng Xuan had no choice but to take everyone to the open space next to them, at least to reduce the prying of some tourists’ gossip.

 

     “Sun Fen, I’ll tell you one last time, we are all adults, and we should be responsible for our words and deeds. You are in your twenties, haven’t you learned such a simple truth?”

 

     Sun Fen said softly: “I really know I’m wrong!”

 

     Zheng Xuan sneered: “No, you don’t think you’re wrong at all. If you really think you’re wrong, you wouldn’t have the face to come here today.”

 

     Sun Fen’s mother couldn’t help asking: “Didn’t Xiaofen just say a few bad words about her? Does she need to sue Xiaofen? Who dares to want such a woman in the future? If Xiaofen is not good, I won’t let her have an easy time. We want her to be unable to stay in this company!”

 

     Sun Fen said: “I’ve already been in the group I have explained it in the group, and everyone knows that this is a misunderstanding. Can you let her reconcile with me? “

 

     “You can spread rumors when you want to, and reconcile when you want to? Your explanation in the group can’t erase the negative impact of rumors on Sanniang at all!”

 

     Sun Fen’s uncle threatened Zheng Xuan and said, “Although Xiaofen was wrong in this matter, you don’t want to make a big deal and embarrass yourself, right? If your boss knows about it, will you feel better? How will your colleagues see you?”

 

     When Zheng’s father and mother heard it, they began to worry about their daughter. After all, their daughter had just been promoted. If she caused trouble to the company because of her personal affairs, would the boss think that their daughter was a very troublesome person and was unwilling to reuse her?

 

     Also, this world is not very friendly to women. My daughter has been divorced and had a miscarriage. There must be a lot of rumors. Will my daughter be pointed at by her colleagues?

 

     Zheng Xuan looked at Sun Fen’s family as if they were fools.

 

     She said: “Your son was sued because he spread rumors that Sanniang had an improper relationship with the boss. Do you think the boss will hold us accountable or you accountable if he knows about this? Especially at this juncture before the trial, you came here to force Sanniang to withdraw the lawsuit, which adds another crime of threatening and intimidating others!” 

 

     The Sun family: “…”

 

     The mother of Sun, who was about to cry, immediately retreated behind the father of Sun.

 

     At this time, the security captain led several security guards to come over in a heroic manner. The captain asked Zheng Xuan: “The boss asked us to see if Supervisor Zheng needs any help. Do we need to call the police?”

 

     “Supervisor?” The Sun family looked at each other. In their impression, the position of supervisor seemed to be not low, because Sun Fen originally had the opportunity to be a supervisor, but later failed because of the lawsuit. Now they heard that Zheng Xuan is already a supervisor, and they were very surprised. She just graduated, how could she be a supervisor?

 

     Zheng Xuan was not surprised that Li Yaolin knew what happened here. After all, if there was a riot on Xingzhou Island, she would be the first to know and arrange people to deal with it in time. This is also the reason why Xingzhou Island has never had any negative news due to public security issues.

 

     Zheng Xuan shook her head and said, “They will leave by themselves later, and I believe they will never come again.”

 

     Everyone didn’t know why she was so sure, but she smiled at Sun Fen and said, “Are you curious about why I said that? Because if you really feel that you are wrong from the bottom of your heart, you will check who the boss of Xingzhou Island is, and you will understand how wrong you are!”

 

    After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, with the help of the security guard, she got into a taxi with her parents.

 

     The car drove away along the traffic flow. After Sun Fen reacted, he slowly took out his mobile phone and searched “Xingzhou Island Owner” in the browser according to Zheng Xuan’s words…
