Ye Feifei exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected her excitement to last only a few minutes; it was too brief!
"Forget it, I think we shouldn't go! It's so expensive, how can we explain it to our families?" Ye Feifei said worriedly.
"Ten thousand is ten thousand. You have to think clearly. This is a million annual salary. If you can get in, wouldn't you earn it back in minutes?"
As Fang Xiaoxia spoke, she turned to the man and said, "I'll pay, I'll pay!"
"Pay what! We're not going. Isn't this a blatant scam? Where do you pay money before finding a job!"
Bai Suxiang interrupted her.
Didn't they say this on TV and online?
Anything that asks for money without mentioning details is a scam!
They were playing the odds, using ten thousand to gain a million. Were you willing?
Most people wouldn't object, hence the saying that scammers have always gotten away with it!
"This? But..."
Fang Xiaoxia was somewhat unwilling. If such a golden opportunity slipped away, who knew when it would come again!
Ye Feifei wasn't as excited. Bai Suxiang's words made her a little more rational. Of course, from a realistic perspective, her family background was far worse than Fang Xiaoxia's.
If she really couldn't get in, she planned to accept her fate.
"What 'this' and 'but'? They're clearly scamming us for money! Let's go, let's go!"
Bai Suxiang's tone was a bit sharp, and her expression was very serious.
When facing scammers, one must be decisive; even the slightest hesitation gives them an opening. Sudanstory.com
"Stop! What's the rush?"
The man immediately stopped Bai Suxiang and made a move to block her.
These were people he had finally managed to find; how could he let them go so easily?
The young woman in front of him had looks and a figure, not to mention a rare temperament.
Even after just a glance on the street, the aura she exuded gave one a different feeling.
Based on his years of experience in searching for beautiful women, this type was definitely top-tier.
And the reason he dared to tell others he could bring people in was not just talk. With his eye for talent over the years, he had brought many "red card" girls to Taohuayuan.
Especially Lin Kexin, whom he recruited two months ago, who had already become the top earner in just one month.
Although others weren't as successful as her, their positions and benefits in Taohuayuan were still mid-to-upper tier.
In their line of work, performance was everything. A girl who could bring in a top earner could make around a million a year.
Therefore, when encountering good prospects, he had to find a way to keep them.
This was also why he was unprecedentedly lenient towards Bai Suxiang.
Hearing him say this, Bai Suxiang's heart tightened. This was probably their true nature.
Once they resisted, they would resort to force, and perhaps Bai Xiaoxiao was taken away like this!
"He was joking with you! You don't need to pay a cent! If you can stay, all food and accommodation are free! If you can't stay, then you need to pay three hundred for your trouble! You can accept that, right!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I was joking with you. Taohuayuan is so big, do they lack your little bit of money?" The subordinate following him hurriedly agreed. If they lost this big deal, the loss would be too great.
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Suxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Xiaoxia and Ye Feifei were overjoyed. They hadn't expected they could actually go and see. Even if they stayed for three days, with food and lodging for only three hundred yuan, it was much more worth it than the hundreds or thousands they were asked to pay before!
"Accept, accept, we accept. Sister Xiang, please agree quickly! We really want to go in!"
Ye Feifei said hastily.
For her, this was like pie falling from the sky. Something that was impossible before was now just a step away.
No matter what, she needed Bai Suxiang's help.
Fang Xiaoxia also didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she naturally chimed in, "Exactly, exactly, agree quickly!"
Hearing them say this, the man felt more confident.
Bai Suxiang hesitated, "There's no such thing as a free lunch!" She wondered what trap lay beyond.
But she had to go to Taohuayuan no matter what, otherwise, they would return empty-handed this time.
"Alright."
"Follow me!"
The man said, leading the three girls away from the shore.
On the way to the pier, he told Bai Suxiang his name: Snakehead Laizi, and his brother was A Quan.
He told Bai Suxiang this so she would remember them. If they became successful in the future, they shouldn't forget the credit for their introduction.
Bai Suxiang made no promises, only listened to him quietly.
Shamen Town itself had a limited land area. The reason it was said to be large was probably due to the vast sea area it governed.
It was surrounded by over a dozen small islands of varying sizes, and Taohuayuan was located on three islands about fifty nautical miles from the shore.
Looking out at the sea from the shore of Shamen Town, one could only see three humps, nothing special.
Bai Suxiang finally understood why Taohuayuan couldn't be found in Shamen Town; the real Taohuayuan was not on the shore at all.
Snakehead Laizi led them to a white speedboat and went directly to the driver's seat.
A Quan went to untie the ropes from the pier, and with a buzzing sound, the speedboat set out to sea.
Once at sea, they were even more helpless.
If anything were to happen, they would truly be "crying to heaven and earth but no one would hear."
Who would risk such danger if not for the annual salary of a million?
Facing the beautiful sea, Bai Suxiang appeared preoccupied, unlike Fang Xiaoxia and Ye Feifei.
The two of them, on the other hand, occasionally looked at the scenery on the sea, and sometimes shouted towards the sea, showing no signs of worry.
Although the small island in front of them looked close, the speedboat did not drive straight towards it but wound its way closer step by step.
This was the way of navigating at sea; due to the currents, it was never as straightforward as on land.
Snakehead Laizi was experienced, and some of his turns were quite dashing, earning continuous praise from Fang Xiaoxia and Ye Feifei: "Brother Snake, so handsome!"
This made Snakehead Laizi feel quite pleased. Because of Bai Suxiang, he showed them a little more care.
Before long, the speedboat docked beside a small island.
What had looked like a mere mound from a distance turned out to be so large up close.
Many densely packed houses were built on the island, and the two islands adjacent to it looked two or three times larger.
The three islands leaned against each other yet remained independent, connected by three floating bridges made of wood.
The floating bridges were beautifully made, resembling boats, showing considerable craftsmanship.
"We're here! Follow me!"
