Chapter 2340 - 2341: A Deposit of One Hundred Million
Chapter 2340: Chapter 2341: A Deposit of One Hundred Million
The long-haired girl felt a bit embarrassed, “Don’t talk nonsense, I was just talking about hitting on him, didn’t say anything else.”
“Sure, sure, I get it. Everything’s clear without saying, no need to explain.”
At this moment, a man around thirty years old came over and said indifferently:
“Men like them look dishonest at first glance, who knows if they scammed their way here. Don’t get your hopes up with such people.”
“Liu Chuan, you can’t just slander people.” the short-haired girl said:
“Don’t start accusing good-looking guys of being bad just at a glance.”
“Do I even need to say it? Everyone sees it clearly,” Liu Chuan retorted:
“Have you ever seen a good-looking guy who is willing to endure hardships and strive? Relying on a handsome face, they pose and pout online, begging for others to tip them. They’re just the new generation of internet beggars.”
After speaking, Liu Chuan pointed at Lin Yi and said:
“And look at that girl, she looks so naive, probably deceived by his sweet talk. So you two, don’t hold any hope for such people.”
“I think you’re just jealous,” the short-haired girl rolled her eyes and said.
“You’re actually wrong there. Both my parents are university lecturers, we have two houses, and I even own property and a car under my name. If we’re talking about personal circumstances, I really think I’m better than him.”
“That’s not something you can just say. Our area’s cost of living isn’t low, I feel like people who can afford to play here should be pretty well-off.”
“You’re just young, not seeing the real face of these people in society, you’ll know in a bit.”
After saying that, the man returned to his work station, ready to start working.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan were oblivious to the fact that they had become the subject of discussion and were quietly waiting in line.
“Hey, beauty.”
While the two were lining up, someone whistled and greeted Li Chuhan.
Lin Yi turned his head and saw it was some young people next to them, dressed casually, probably just back from outside.
Li Chuhan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she instinctively stood behind Lin Yi, not wanting to interact with them.
“We’re going out to the sea later, wanna join?”
Seeing this, Lin Yi wasn’t angry but found it amusing.
If Ji Qingyan were here, she would definitely give them a fierce glare with her strong presence making them uneasy.
If it were Liang Ruoxu, ignoring her status, she might directly curse at them.
Only Li Chuhan would quietly stand behind him.
“There’s a mirror nearby, go take a look, don’t just hit on anyone you meet, you really don’t stand a chance.”
“You!”
“Okay, Sun Lei, we’re here to have fun, not to pick a fight.”
The man was about to react violently but was stopped by the woman with him, as it was a public place and fighting would be inappropriate.
“Hmph, he’s lucky this time,” Sun Lei snorted,
“I’ll definitely show him some colors when we go out later!”
Lin Yi shook his head gently, not taking these people seriously, and continued waiting in line to rent a boat.
After about fifteen minutes, it was Lin Yi’s turn. He asked Liu Chuan:
“I would like to rent an eight-person boat with diving gear, how much per hour?”
Liu Chuan glanced at Lin Yi, “3200 per hour, and the captain’s fee is 180 per hour, you need to leave your ID as a deposit.”
Liu Chuan was somewhat distracted, not really paying attention to Lin Yi.
At such a price, it wasn’t something ordinary people could afford. The cost of going out once would be at least tens of thousands, and the person in front of him probably couldn’t afford it.
Yet despite that, he still glanced a few more times at Li Chuhan.
This woman was prettier than he imagined, especially standing close by, her cool and aloof demeanor was something he had never seen on anyone else.
“Captain?” Lin Yi muttered.
“Is there a problem? If there’s no captain with you, do you plan to just drift out to sea?”
“Drifting isn’t necessary, I can operate a boat myself. You can deduct the captain’s fee, I don’t want outsiders with us.”
“That might not be possible, the captain and the boat are tied together, and they will go out to sea together,” Liu Chuan said:
“Also, the captain can monitor during the sea trip, if anything on the boat gets damaged, he can find out immediately.”
“So, you mean to say I can’t rent a boat without a captain, right?”
Lin Yi understood such regulations since Wangjiang Dock operated similarly, but they offered more flexible services, allowing self-sailing, with damages covered by market price compensations.
“That’s right.”
Lin Yi didn’t give it much thought since he wanted some alone time with Li Chuhan, and having an outsider on the boat wouldn’t be fun.
“Let’s forget it then, I won’t rent.”
Lin Yi didn’t hesitate and was prepared to leave with Li Chuhan.
“If you can’t afford it, you could rent a smaller three-person boat. Why find such excuses? It’s so boring.” Liu Chuan mocked.
Lin Yi turned back and gave him a look, “Are you saying I can’t afford it?”
“I never said that, don’t wrongly accuse me,” Liu Chuan spoke indifferently, as if gaining the upper hand:
“Our prices here are indeed quite expensive, ordinary people can’t afford it, yet you use such reasons as an excuse, I’ve never seen that happen here.”
“So I’m wrong for not wanting outsiders on my sea trip?”
“You don’t know what’s good for you. I even gave you a way out, just walk away peacefully, why argue with me?”
“You are not even at a level where I need to contest, but Wangjiang Dock at Zhong Hai does have such services, and you don’t. Instead of finding faults within yourselves, you keep blabbering useless stuff, that’s quite interesting.”
“You dare to say that to me!” Liu Chuan got annoyed and said:
“Since you mentioned that Wangjiang Dock also offers such services, fine, I’ll provide you with that. The two of you can go out to sea alone, but we have a high deposit, can you afford it?”
“Tell me, how much.”
“One billion.”
Ha ha ha—
Hearing this, the people standing around couldn’t help but laugh.
“This guy is really harsh, starting with a billion, he’s clearly just trying to make things hard for him.”
“This guy is really putting on an act. Having a captain with you on a sea trip is a given, he can’t afford it but is still making up such excuses, obviously, people can’t stand it.”
“Now it gets interesting, I really want to see what he’ll do, it’s just humiliating himself.”
Lin Yi ignored the others’ comments and took out his phone.
“What’s your company’s account number? I’ll transfer the money right now.”
