53 Princess Cruise
Zhang Xueyang climbed to the top of the boxes on all fours, grabbing and pulling the thick nylon rope. ”Kong Zhi, come help!” Zhang Xueyang was unable to untie the rope after tugging for a long while. He sat panting on the boxes and shouted for the driver to come over. The men went forward to lend their hands and finally removed the waterproof cloth and plastic covering on the packaging.

”This is it, this is it!” Zhang Xueyang squinted his eyes, staring at the brand-new white painted 5-axis CNC machine. It was a large, fully enclosed machine. One could see from the transparent cover the complicated interior structure which could bedazzle a layman. After lying on the machine tool and fondling it for a long while, Zhang Xueyang then called his father to get him to send a few heavy-duty trucks over to move the machine tools away.

”Bro Chen, I shall not go into those mushy words of gratitude. Let’s make a trip to the bank later and I’ll transfer 3 million RMB to you directly.”

”Sure!” Chen Fan nodded smilingly. He was not the least bit afraid that he would come up with any tricks.

After a short wait, thunderous sounds of machinery came from a distance away, and a crawler forklift appeared on the gravel road. After the machines had been loaded and transported, Zhang Xueyang happily brought Chen Fan to a bank branch on Phoenix Road to do the money transfer.

After the transfer had been done, Zhang Xueyang leaned stealthily over to Chen Fan and said, ”Bro Chen, let me bring you to a good place to enjoy later, my treat!”

”What good place?” Chen Fan’s interest was aroused. He had just gotten a huge sum of money, and now there was a good place to enjoy. He would be a fool to reject it.

Zhang Xueyang grinned cheekily. ”You’ll know when we get there!”

--------

Half an hour later, two luxury cars stopped at the side of Fengzhou Pier. Zhang Xueyang was the first to get out of the car. He ran two steps over to the other side to open the door of the black BMW. ”Bro Chen, I bet you’ve never been here!” Zhang Xueyang bent over, his facial expression looking as if he had just won a jackal which had come to snatch away his spouse.

”What’s this place?” Chen Fan looked around after getting out of the car. ”I’ve not been here indeed.”

”See the cruise beside the pier?” Zhang Xueyang pointed at a distance away, as if he was presenting a gift. ”This ’Princess Cruise’ is managed by a female boss from Zhongyun who is in the F&B business. It waits for customers here every day, and sails toward Fengzhou Bay when there’s enough people. Later we’ll be able to fish on the deck and get specialty chefs to cook the fishes we catch.”

”That’s common!” Chen Fan looked unimpressed. Kids who grew up by the sea were not too excited about fishing, unlike those from other parts of China who followed trends blindly.

”Fishing is common! But the key is...when it’s nighttime…” Zhang Xueyang grinned and gave a ”you know that” expression.

”Haha…” Chen Fan forced a laugh, but did not say anything. Looking at Zhang Xueyang’s sinister smile, Chen Fan already figured out what activities there were at night. Being a virgin for over twenty years, that had been something very mysterious and seductive to him!

”Come, let’s enjoy ourselves today!” Before Chen Fan could say anything, Zhang Xueyang tugged Chen Fan’s shoulder and walked toward the pier. The white painted Princess Cruise ship was over eighty meters long, slightly shorter than Wei Qing’s gambling ship. It had two levels of cabin, and the top was a huge white awning under which passengers could dine as they enjoy the scenery. The bottom deck was more spacious. There were many parasols on both sides which were used by passengers when they fish during the day.

”I discovered this cruise ship only recently. It’s really enjoyable to spend your free time here!” Zhang Xueyang squinted his eyes as he walked toward the cruise ship, looking very satisfied. ”Bro Chen!” Zhang Xueyang suddenly turned back. ”There’s a very pretty night show model here who looks very much like Eva Huang. Let’s request her service tonight.”

”So awesome!” Chen Fan almost drooled. Whenever he saw the lovely Eva Huang on television, Chen Fan would fantasize about her. Now he could even see her in ’real life’.

”Yes it’s that awesome. This night show model hasn’t been around for long, but her request rate is higher than anyone else. We won’t be able to get her if we’re slow so let me inform the boss in a while to get her to accompany you tonight.”

”Uhh…” Chen Fan hands trembled upon hearing this. He didn’t know what else to say to fully express his current mood! After reaching the ship deck, Zhang Xueyang quickly went to the counter inside to make reservations for seats and the night activities, while Chen Fan sat on the deck enjoying the breeze.

”Boss, what activities do you think there are at night?” Sitting on the recliner chair on the deck, Wang Bing looked around and then whispered to Chen Fan. It’s natural for men to fool around and enjoy themselves. Wang Bing had already heard Zhang Xueyang at the car park, but he was embarrassed to ask with him around.

”I’m not sure either, but it should be something awesome!” Chen Fan was also a nerd like Wang Bing. It was only recently that he become more showy after having some money.

”Haha, it must be that…” Wang Bing rubbed his hands and was full of anticipation. He had no other hobbies, but was just keen in this area.

After a short wait, Zhang Xueyang came out from the cabin and sat on the recliner chair beside Chen Fan. ”Bro Chen, the ship’s gonna set off after another ten passengers come onboard. Let’s have some juice first.”

The four men laid on the deck and chatted until a group of young men in their twenties came onboard. The bridge deck was kept away and the ship sailed toward the ocean as it whistled. 

Fengzhou Bay is a few nautical miles away from Zhongyun City. It is made up of over ten uninhabited islets. There are plenty of plants and food in the sea, and it abounds with delicious grouper fish in particular, making it a great fishing place. Every summer, there will be numerous tourists visiting this place by boat.

After the ship arrived at Fengzhou Bay, it slowly stopped and anchored between two islets. After the ship stabilized, more than ten staff members holding all types of fishing equipment walked to the deck and distributed a fishing rod and a small plastic pail with fish bait to each of the fifty to sixty passengers.

Sea fishing is different from common freshwater fishing. There are more things to pay attention to for freshwater fishing, but the requirements for sea fishing is lesser and there is not even a need to attract the fishes with a bait first. Just a big hook with some shellfish, prawn or meat and the rod can be thrown in.

Although Chen Fan used to fish frequently, he was still excited to try when he got hold of the fishing rod. It wasn’t that Chen Fan was feeling greedy about eating the fishes, but he just felt delighted at the mention of fish and could not control himself.

Chen Fan took a live prawn from the pail and hung it on the hook, adjusted the cork and threw the fishing rod into the sea. Fishing is all about patience. Unfortunately, the four men did not seem to possess this quality.

”I’m done with this, I’m going to watch television in the cabin. Bro Chen, are you coming?” Zhang Xueyang could not take it anymore after a short while. His main objective was the activities at night; fishing was just a diversion. 　　　

Chen Fan shook his head, ”I’ll fish for a while more. I’ll go look for you later.” He almost caught two fishes just now, and he was struggling inside now. He had to get a few fishes to balance his emotions.

”Boss, then...I’ll go in too?” Wang Bing was also not a fan of fishing.

Chen Fan waved his hand, ”Go on!”

After the three men left, Chen Fan laid down and watched the float as he drank juice. The result wasn’t important. It was also a pleasure enjoying the process in this relaxing manner!

Fishing is a great test of patience. When Chen Fan started to yawn, a series of soft footsteps came from behind him. A pleasant and gentle female voice said, ”May I ask if the seat beside you is taken?”
