Chapter 321 This Fish is Good and Bad
Yu Yu's calculations were very organized and logical. Zhao Hao, who was listening outside the opposite camera, was stunned. He took out the agreement and looked at it again and again, confirming that what was written in black and white was not the word "income", but the word "net profit".
Seeing how calm and confident he looked now, Zhao Hao was sure that this cunning kid had thought of the possibility that the program crew would trick them since the moment they signed the agreement. After all, it was he who took the initiative to propose the agreement.
But Zhao Hao still wanted to struggle: "This is not right..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Xing retorted, "What's wrong? If you say it's wrong, then there is indeed a problem. How can you round up 151.84? It should be rounded up to 150."
"We are just too kind-hearted. Since you provided a lot of things, I will give you an extra five dollars. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
He really is kind, Zhao Haoxu looked at the old Beibeis in front of him who looked like they had earned something, and a guy who was pretending to be modest after being praised for his kindness. That naughty kid really had the nerve to say, "It's all my due."
"We transported it all the way here for you. Why don't you calculate the transportation cost?" Zhao Hao said again.
"If that's the case, besides the cameraman, will you all ride on the yacht later? If so, will you have to pay for the gas?" Wang Yuexin was very careful to exclude the cameraman this time. After all, their footage couldn't be lost...
That's not right. Even if the cameraman isn't here, don't they still have Yu Yu, the god of lens aesthetics? With him around, it's completely fine for the cameraman to stay on shore.
Zhao Hao probably thought of this as well. He glared at Yu Yu resentfully, and then compromised by asking someone to hand over 2135 yuan to Wang Zhengliang.
Director Wang had never fought such a lucrative battle before. Even though the money would be spent soon, the feeling of having such a generous amount in his hands made him smile, especially under Zhao Hao's reluctant gaze.
Even happier.
This fish is good, this fish is so good.
After getting the money and everyone had rested enough, it was time to pack up and get on board with fuel.
The yacht sponsored by Larich was docked not far from the trail where they set up their stall. Walk along the trail for another ten meters and go down the steps to reach Larich's private dock, and the white four-story yacht had already been docked at the dock.
The brothers had seen this eye-catching yacht when they were setting up their stall before, but there were several private yachts docked at the pier nearby, so they were not sure whether the yacht, which was a circle larger than the surrounding three-story yachts and looked very magnificent and luxurious in appearance, was the one they would take to the sea to watch the sunset.
It's no wonder they were so hesitant. The main reason was that even if they were laymen and had no knowledge of yachts, they could see that the yacht was very expensive. The expensive aura that came to them was completely incompatible with their poor little variety show who was still not rich even though they had a lot of sponsorship in the second season.
It wasn't until Zhao Hao signaled them to board the four-story luxury yacht that caught everyone's attention at the dock that they happily ran over, praising Larich for his generosity, vision, and good judgment.
Uh, wait a minute.
The crowd's praises gradually died down. They secretly glanced at Yu Yu's face and found that he didn't seem to have any abnormalities on the surface. He even nodded in agreement with them to show that Larich was really rich. Only then did they feel at ease and continue to praise him.
That's right, one thing is one thing. Although Yu Yu doesn't like his family very much, he never shows mercy when it comes to fleecing the Alaric family. Perhaps it is because of this that we brothers always feel that there is still room for easing the relationship between him and the Alaric family.
The yacht's captain, a foreigner named Luigi—a fact that came as no surprise to the brothers—enthusiastically introduced the yacht, the Starfish, to everyone. They were on the main deck, the second level of the yacht, which housed the living and dining areas, complete with all the necessary audiovisual equipment. Large, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows ensured that even from the main deck, one could enjoy the expansive ocean views.
The second deck above the main deck is the yacht's master bedroom, with 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and interior decoration comparable to that of a presidential suite. There is a spacious sunbathing terrace where you can look up at the stars by just pushing the door, or you can go up the stairs, pass the captain's room on the top floor, and continue up to the top flybridge deck, fold up the folding awning, sit under the stars and have a drink.
Of course, this yacht has more than one master bedroom. There are also two guest rooms located on the lower level of the main deck, which is the first floor close to sea level. Although the scenery of the guest rooms is not as good as that of the master bedroom, you can still enjoy the surging sea water through the window. Moreover, compared with other three- or two-story yachts, the room space is also very spacious and comfortable to live in.
The ship also has a staff area, which is located in the bow area of the guest room level, separated from the guest rooms. It is the crew's room and kitchen area. If necessary, the chef will prepare meals for the guests in the kitchen on the lowest floor and then send them to the restaurant on the main deck or the restaurant in the master bedroom on the second floor.
There is no need to elaborate on other entertainment and leisure facilities, as the Starfish has all the same facilities as other yachts.
"I can't take it anymore, Hu Zi, is this right? I actually appear in such a high-end yacht, is this right?" After listening to the introduction, Zhang Yuan grabbed the Land Rover in disbelief, and he was so excited that he almost cried.
Lu Hu also shook Zhang Yuan's hand with his backhand: "Yuanyuan, I even feel that I am not worthy of the Seastar. What virtue do I have?"
"I dare not step on this floor even if I take off my shoes. It feels more expensive than the floor in my house." Wang Yuexin felt as if the floor was hot when she stepped on it in socks. She raised her legs exaggeratedly high and dared not stay there for long.
Although their reactions were a bit exaggerated for the sake of the show, Yu Yu was a little amused when he saw them almost bursting into tears. He looked at them seriously in a joking tone and said:
"The New Year is almost here. Since we're here, we deserve to be here. Yachts are made for entertainment. We've been busy all year, so we deserve to have something good. Even if we don't have this yacht, I think there will be other better things waiting for my brothers."
The brothers knew that Yu Yu said this because Young Master Alaric was dissatisfied with Larich's arrangement and felt that it was of low quality and would change it next time. However, to those who did not know, these words might sound like he was ungrateful and actually despised the sponsorship of the financial sponsor. He was obviously a man with a sweet mouth and good at talking, but he would always become protective and aggressive when it came to his brothers' affairs. This was Yu Yu's willful attitude towards his brothers.
Su Xing smiled and tried to smooth things over for him: "This yacht is great. After all, we worked hard for four hours standing in the sun to earn enough money to pay for the fuel. Now seeing this yacht, it feels like all the hard work is worth it. We paid for it, so of course we can sit on it, and we have to sit on it openly."
"We have to thank Larich. If it weren't for Larich's generosity, we wouldn't have the opportunity to go out to sea to watch the sunrise." Wang Zhengliang added.
"Well," Su Xing snorted softly, pretending to be embarrassed. "If it weren't for Larich, I'm afraid I would have to reveal some of the assets I've hidden in this local area for many years. I drove my yacht over here. It's not so spacious, but it can barely go out to sea."
Wang Yuexin couldn't stand his smug look. He curled his lips and hugged Yu Yu's arm. "Hey, Mr. Su, do you have assets in the South China Sea? Where are they parked? Don't let them rust after being out of the water for so long. If things don't work out, our Xiaoyu can always drive our boat over here. Xiaoyu, do you have a yacht like this one too?"
Yu Yu scratched his head like an honest child. "There are indeed several. There's one that's exactly the same as this one. When I got on board just now, I thought it was my own because it looked so similar."
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this, but they laughed because this was the boat that belonged to Yu Yu's family. The program crew thought that the laughter was their daily teasing towards Su Xing and Yu Yu, two children from wealthy families.
The Starfish officially set sail amidst laughter and joy on board, heading west until it could no longer see the coastline city.
At this moment, the nearly 40-meter-long Starfish was surrounded by the vast ocean. The distant skyline and the sea level were almost connected, and no dividing line was visible.
There are no other yachts around. In such a magnificent natural sea view, all beings are equal and all ships are just small boats.
However, for brothers who have long been bound to each other, any lonely boat can become a home that carries their friendship and even family affection.
The distant sky was finally unable to bear the weight of the sun hanging above it, and the golden sun gradually slid down from the sky, as if cooled and dyed by the splashing sea water. The golden light lost its edge and turned into an orange-red warm sun, shining a little deeper into the blue sky, and its cheeks also turned red.
The inconspicuous moon quietly climbed up into the sky at this moment, looked at the setting sun that was gradually swallowed by the sea level, waved, said good night and good morning.
Different from the sunset into the sea that the seven people saw at Longmen Jilang, they felt more immersed in the scene standing on the sea at this moment. They sat or stood on the deck, silent, as if they did not want to disturb such a scene, or perhaps such a scene also infected their hearts.
Since when, Wang Yuexin had been crying and her eyes were red, and Chen Fusheng and Lu Hu also had red eyes.
Zhang Yuan wanted to cry too, but he held it back. Seeing Lu Hu's pouting face, he couldn't help but smile and wiped his face: "Hu Zi, you're crying, Hu Zi."
"Did I cry? I just couldn't help it. I thought this moment was so beautiful." Lu Hu said in a muffled voice.
The next moment, he heard a sticky nasal sound that sounded more like crying than his own voice: "I couldn't help it either, wuwuwu. At this moment, I suddenly felt very fortunate, very happy, very touched, and a little sad and happy. I can see such a beautiful scenery with my brothers."
It would have been fine if Lu Hu hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke, Wang Yuexin couldn't hold back her tears. She had been crying silently, but suddenly she burst into incoherent sobbing.
Wang Zhengliang, who had been feeling a bit emotional, rubbed Wang Xiaohu's head when he saw him crying like this. "Oh, why are you crying so sadly, Huhu? Such beautiful scenery, such a meaningful trip, you should be happy. Look at your little face, it's all wrinkled and your eyes are swollen."
"I don't want to become a sad frog either."
"But it's very likely that the Sad Frog will ask you for copyright fees before long." Yu Yu, who was standing on a high place with Chen Fusheng and Su Xing and leaning on the railing, heard the movement below. He patted Chen Fusheng on the back and joked to the people below.
Wang Yuexin's crying was choked.
Wang Zhengliang, who was still comforting him, tried to hold back his laughter.
This fish is bad, this fish is so bad.
