Volume 3 Comprehensive Film and Television Chapter 93: Sea King Liang Zhengxian
After rolling her eyes at Jiang Nansun, Zhu Suosuo turned around, hugged Yuan Xudong's arm and said with a smile:
"Xudong, when will the jewelry you ordered be delivered to Shanghai?"
"It will take a few months. Once the jewelry is delivered to Shanghai, the Misia store will send someone to notify me."
After taking a look at Zhu Suosuo who was smiling peacefully, Yuan Xudong teased her:
"Why, you can't wait any longer?"
Nodding slightly and leaning her head on Yuan Xudong's shoulder, Zhu Suosuo glanced at Wang Manni not far away and suggested:
"Xudong, let's ask Miss Wang to come over for dinner and ask her about the jewelry."
"not so good!"
After taking a look at Wang Manni who was not far away, Yuan Xudong turned around, pinched Zhu Suosuo's nose and said with a smile:
"It's a cruise now. It's a rare opportunity for people to come out and relax. Wouldn't it ruin their mood if you asked them about work?"
"You're right. Forget it. I'll ask her after the trip!"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Nansun spoke directly:
"It's pitiful to see Miss Wang sitting there alone. Why don't we invite her to dinner and not ask her about her work?"
After that, she looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Yuan Xudong, go and invite Miss Wang over. If she doesn't mind, we can travel together as a group of four. This way it will be safer . I heard that more than a hundred people go missing every year on cruises, but I don't know if it's true!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to respond, Zhu Suosuo slightly widened her eyes and said:
"Is it so dangerous?"
"If it's really that dangerous, would anyone still take a cruise?"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo making a fuss, Yuan Xudong rubbed her head and teased:
"There are some missing people on cruise ships every year. Only a small number of them are natural disappearances. The vast majority of them are people who take advantage of the visa-free system for cruise travel to sneak into the country. In other words, these people are not missing, but hiding themselves."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Manni who was not far away. She was sitting there alone, holding the menu in a daze. She looked as pitiful as Jiang Nansun said. Yuan Xudong hesitated for a moment, then stood up, glanced at Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask Miss Wang to come over!"
"I know, hurry up!"
…
At the same time Yuan Xudong walked towards Wang Manni, a man with a slicked-back mustache also walked over. Liang Zhengxian had planned to wait for an opportunity to strike later, but he found that Yuan Xudong was trying to approach his prey. As a high-end hunter, he felt threatened by Yuan Xudong and decided to strike first to seize the initiative.
When Wang Manni walked into the restaurant, he chose this prey, a woman who knew nothing and dressed up gorgeously to eat in the exclusive restaurant of the executive cabin. She was definitely not a guest of this cabin. The beautiful and vain woman was exactly the prey he had dreamed of, and he succeeded every time!
Before Yuan Xudong could do so, Liang Zhengxian walked up to Wang Manni and said with a smile:
"Hello, young lady!"
Hearing Liang Zhengxian's voice, Wang Manni looked up at him. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, wearing a classic Patek Philippe jade on his hand, was obviously a guest in the executive class. She stood up and responded politely:
"Hello!"
After taking a look at Wang Manni, who was wearing a white dress and acting a little nervous, Liang Zhengxian forced a smile and invited:
"I see you're sitting here all alone. I'm alone too. Can I invite you to lunch?"
Glancing at the window seat, Wang Manni saw Yuan Xudong walking towards her. She looked slightly happy. She turned to look at Liang Zhengxian and politely refused:
"Thank you for your invitation, but I want to eat alone. Sorry!"
The invitation that he thought was a sure thing was rejected by Wang Manni. Seeing her glance at Yuan Xudong with hidden joy, Liang Zhengxian could not accept that his prey was hunted by other hunters. Thinking of this, he continued to tempt:
"The biggest drawback of a cruise ship is that the food is too monotonous. I know the chef Eric here and I bought a lot of special ingredients. I want to find someone to share the secret menu of the restaurant. I don't know..."
Without waiting for Liang Zhengxian to finish, Yuan Xudong walked up to Wang Manni and interrupted him:
"I wonder if this gentleman knows when to stop."
Glancing at Liang Zhengxian, who had a greasy mustache, Yuan Xudong ignored him and invited Wang Manni.
"Hello, young lady. My name is Yuan Xudong. I see you are sitting here alone. I happen to be alone too. I wonder if I can invite you to have lunch with me?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's words exactly the same as his own, Liang Zhengxian's face changed slightly, and without waiting for Wang Manni to respond, he directly counterattacked:
"I wonder if this gentleman understands the concept of first come first served?"
“Good Chinese!”
Yuan Xudong glanced at Liang Zhengxian and said with a smile:
"You look familiar to me, have we met somewhere before?"
After saying this, without waiting for Liang Zhengxian to respond, he pretended to try hard to recall and muttered to himself:
"Let me think, I've been to Hong Kong once before. Oh, now I remember, I saw a woman with a great figure, with a curvy figure. Her name was Zhao Jingyu. I was very impressed. She also had a mustache next to her. That mustache looked a lot like you. Are you her husband?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Liang Zhengxian's face changed slightly. Zhao Jingyu was his fiancée who was kept in Hong Kong. He thought Yuan Xudong was warning him to give up his prey. Thinking of this, he took a last look Wang Manni, then looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Well, you win, have fun!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the restaurant with a gloomy face. Compared with losing Wang Manni as his prey, he cared more about the provocations from other hunters. The most important thing was that he was still the loser.
After Liang Zhengxian left, Wang Manni looked at Yuan Xudong and asked in confusion:
"What do you two mean?"
Glancing at Wang Manni who seemed to be thinking deeply, Yuan Xudong smiled and joked:
"It basically means that a pig that wanted to eat cabbage was driven away by the farmer in time. Do you understand?"
"Pooh~~"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's metaphor, Wang Manni couldn't help but spit and said with an embarrassed look:
"Why did you come here? Are you afraid that I'll have sex with another man?"
After glaring at Wang Manni who was talking nonsense, Yuan Xudong warned in a low voice:
"You go over there and have dinner with us, and stay with us for the rest of the trip, and don't do anything weird, got it?"
"But……"
Without waiting for Wang Manni to finish speaking, Yuan Xudong picked up her bag and mobile phone and walked to the window seat. After hesitating for a while, Wang Manni finally gritted her teeth and followed her, sitting down next to Jiang Nansun, facing Yuan Xudong.
After a while, the waiter brought three steaks and a bottle of red wine, as well as a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Jiang Nansun deliberately ordered. Yuan Xudong gave his steak to Wang Manni to eat first, and then asked the waiter to bring another serving.
After the waiter left, Wang Manni ate steak and drank red wine. She glanced at Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"This is my first time on a cruise, and I thought window seats were reserved for guests with reservations. After meeting you, I realized that they are only reserved for US dollars!"
Picking up a piece of tomato for Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo looked at Wang Manni and smiled:
“Not only the window seats, but you can also order scrambled eggs with tomatoes if you tip the waiter!”
"Yeah?"
Taking a look at the tomatoes in Yuan Xudong's bowl, Wang Manni forced a smile and said:
"It seems that money can solve all problems!"
Hearing Wang Manni say this, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Zhu Suosuo and said:
"Ms. Wang, don't listen to Suosuo's nonsense. If money can solve all problems, would rich people still have worries?"
After that, without waiting for Wang Manni's response, she looked at Yuan Xudong who was standing diagonally opposite her for confirmation :
"Yuan Xudong, you are a rich man, do you think money can solve all problems?"
"Are you still asking me such a simple question?"
After glancing at Jiang Nansun, Yuan Xudong ate a tomato and stammered:
"Money can't solve any problem. In my opinion, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Only problems that can't be solved with money are problems. Do you understand?"
After that, before the three women could react, Yuan Xudong picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for each of them and joked:
"You three are poorer than each other. Wait until you have money before discussing whether money can solve all problems. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"
Taking a look at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in her bowl, Wang Manni couldn't help but kick Yuan Xudong twice under the table, but she smiled and said:
" Mr. Yuan , thank you!"
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure!"
…
As night fell, Jiang Nansun walked into the open-air bar on the deck alone. Seeing Wang Manni sitting at the bar drinking, she walked up to her with a smile and greeted her:
"Miss Wang, what a coincidence!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun's voice, Wang Manni looked back at her and said in surprise:
"Miss Jiang, are you here to drink too?"
"Yes, while drinking and enjoying the sea breeze, you will completely relax and forget all your worries. Then you can go back to sleep and tomorrow will be a brand new day!"
"I thought young ladies like you were carefree, but I didn't expect you to have troubles. I'll buy you a drink. What would you like to drink?"
"Just as good as you!"
Nodding slightly, Wang Manni looked at the waiter at the bar and said:
"A glass of Lafite, on the rocks!"
"OK!"
When the waiter placed the whiskey in front of Jiang Nansun, Wang Manni clinked her glasses and said:
"Cheers~~"
"Cheers~~"
“Ahem~~”
After taking a few sips, Jiang Nansun saw Wang Manni frowning and coughing several times, and teased her:
"It's your first time drinking whiskey. How does it taste?"
“It’s a bit hard to drink!”
