Chapter 274 Linda Yun
This time, Su Yehao didn't need to make excuses. He directly told Nangong Tian that he was going to his maternal grandfather's house for dinner tonight, mainly to see Nong Qingying.
She had a lunch appointment with her friends and could catch a ride with her bestie.
So, Su Yehao left first, told his old man on the way, and drove to the pier.
A yacht worth two hundred million was a waste when left idle for too long.
Everyone takes a boat back and forth between the two places. Ordinary people pay less than a hundred for a passenger ticket, and a night ticket is twenty more expensive than a day ticket.
When the Four Seas International yacht's engine starts, there's a small whirlpool in the fuel tank constantly swallowing oil. Counting the cost of the yacht's own depreciation, the price is even higher, with annual maintenance and depreciation costs exceeding ten million Hong Kong dollars.
Calculating the time spent on the journey, there's not much difference.
It's still traveling, but the difference lies in the quality. Su Yehao used to like to calculate these small expenses carefully, but after he started making money, he calmed down, knowing he could afford it anyway.
From thinking his old man spent money extravagantly at the beginning, to secretly buying his own private jet, only a few short months passed.
Imperceptibly, life has indeed become different.
It's a bit of a shame not to have a party on a yacht that's over forty meters long, but there are only a few friends around him, and not many friends with whom he has business dealings. It's a bit difficult to organize a party, and in the end, it can easily become a situation where strangers freeload, obviously making him a sucker.
In terms of interpersonal relationships, Su Yehao found that he was indeed a bit weak. It wasn't social anxiety, he just didn't think it was necessary.
Knowing a lot of people often means a lot of trouble. He felt that compared to the number of times he had to ask others for help, the probability of others asking him for help was probably greater, so he simply wanted peace and quiet.
After all, only children talk about likes and dislikes, and the relationship between business people is mostly maintained by interests.
Su Yehao doesn't have a network of contacts, but his parents and maternal grandfather do, and that's enough.
…
As soon as the yacht started, the deputy captain ran over and said that there was a problem. A fuse had blown and needed to be repaired.
It was expected to take about half an hour. Su Yehao sat on the deck, crossed his legs, and waited patiently.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was comfortable.
Yinhai's Lei Busi and Chu Jun called one after another, saying things like Happy New Year. tAt's Chief Operating Officer, John Zhou, also sent him a text message.
Looking up at the sky, it was a stretch of azure blue, with sparse white clouds floating in the high sky.
Just when he was so comfortable that he was about to take a nap, Su Yehao thought of Linda Yun again. He had to say that she was unlucky enough. Although he had great confidence in her character and integrity, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year after all, and he couldn't figure out what had happened.
After hesitating briefly, he took out his phone and searched for the number.
When he changed his phone, the messy girls he had known in his early years had disappeared from his address book. Fortunately, he still had Linda Yun's contact information.
After dialing, it rang several times before he heard Linda Yun's voice on the other end of the phone. She asked with a bit of surprise: "Oh, you actually called me, that's rare. I see you've been doing great lately, even your photos are on the front page of magazines."
"What magazine, a tabloid?" Su Yehao asked with a smile.
Speaking of tabloids, it's easy for Linda Yun to remember the rumors she had with Su Yehao. Skipping over this embarrassing matter, she only said: "A serious business magazine, but you have so many good girls around you, you really should restrain yourself a little. By the way, Happy New Year, I'm so happy to see you doing so well, I really didn't expect to teach an investment genius."
"I'm not a genius, I'm just standing on my parents' shoulders. Happy New Year to you too."
After Su Yehao finished speaking, he was thinking about how to bring up the main topic.
He didn't know why, but he could always feel Linda Yun's full of positive, optimistic, and other emotions. He was very worried that she would become depressed after being hit.
Through a brief conversation, he found that the other party seemed to be doing well, and that ease didn't seem to be deliberately faked.
Linda Yun took the lead in asking: "You're calling me on the first day of the Lunar New Year, is there something wrong?"
Su Yehao paused and said frankly: "I went to the park with a few alumni in the morning and accidentally heard them mention your resignation. I was afraid you'd fall into a trough, so I was going to comfort you. Now it seems like there's no need, you're still Linda Yun, you've adjusted?"
"...They will definitely say some nasty things. Don't believe those rumors. Actually, I'm so innocent. I thought I met a good man. I only had two meals with him and watched a movie. I didn't know what 'three men make a tiger' meant before, but later I did. I was sad for a few days at the beginning, then I thought seriously, I'm not the one who did something wrong, so why should I be bothered? I resigned just so that the school management wouldn't be embarrassed."
Linda Yun said earnestly.
On one side were rumors, and on the other side was Linda Yun, whom he had been in contact with for a few months. Su Yehao naturally believed the latter's words and suddenly realized: "Oh, so I still have to blame you."
"???"
"I blame you for being so beautiful, it's easy to attract jealousy. If it was Fan Bawang, the PE teacher, it definitely wouldn't have caused such a big stir. I'm the same, I'm handsome, so I'm often targeted, and I've been on the newspaper with you."
Su Yehao was obviously joking, and Linda Yun heard it.
She chuckled, and her voice came out through the phone: "Teacher Fan practices weightlifting, her muscles must be developed, but she's actually a very nice person, don't give her nicknames casually. Maybe it's because of the rumors before, so this time I'm even more awesome. Don't worry about me, I'm in pretty good shape, I stayed in San Francisco for a week and just came back."
"Where are you now?"
"Casino, 1997. What about you? You promised to treat me to dessert before, I'm free for the next few days," Linda Yun said.
Su Yehao said regretfully: "Unfortunately, I'm at the Nanwan Lake Pier, preparing to leave for Hong Kong City. I'm having dinner with my maternal grandfather tonight. Let's talk about it next time, I'll contact you then. If you want to find a job, I can help too."
"Oh, Nanwan Lake? You haven't left yet? I was just about to go to Hong Kong City to buy clothes, but the passenger boat tickets are sold out, can you give me a ride?"
"Of course, no problem, I'll wait for you..."
————————————
Not needing to bring luggage, and just changing clothes before coming over, Linda Yun only spent ten minutes in total.
She just boarded the boat.
The captain just happened to give an "ok" gesture. The yacht has been repaired.
After a simple greeting and chatting about work, Linda Yun said, "I originally thought that teaching only required teaching well, but later I found that things were more troublesome than I imagined. I'm planning to change jobs next, and I've even thought about opening my own bakery. It should be more free not to be constrained by others, but there are bakeries selling bread and pastries everywhere, and it's easy to lose money."
After thinking about it, Su Yehao said:
"If you want to find a job, you can come to me as a translator, or as my secretary, a personal secretary. Now that I'm a big shot, there are more trivial matters, and I'm not comfortable handing them over to others, such as in my personal life. I have... three girlfriends, if it gets on the newspaper, it will definitely be a mess."
"Three!?"
Linda Yun was surprised at first, but then she thought about Su Yehao's past style, and felt that it was normal for him. She asked curiously: "Who are they? Do I know them, like the beautiful woman who went with you to buy a cat?"
In April and May of last year, Su Yehao accompanied Yin Liuli to a cat show and happened to run into Linda Yun.
Nodding his head, he gave up and continued: "Yes, if you can assist me in handling my relationship with them, a salary of 300,000 a year would be very appropriate. Like watching movies, eating, traveling, it always gives me a headache, and I've always wanted to find someone to help coordinate..."
