Chapter 131 The Small Fishing Village on Lantau Island

Chapter 134 Another Compensation

I still remember the first time Su Yehao saw Nong Qingying, he was stunned by her beauty.

Jade bones, icy skin, and a figure so slender it could barely be grasped.

Today she was wearing a black cheongsam, her legs straight and long, her figure beyond simple description.

Su Yehao sized up Nong Qingying, and the girl noticed, secretly giving him a flirtatious wink.

Regarding the future development of this tAt network technology company.

With no experience, Su Yehao could only think of feeling his way across the river by touching the stones, taking it one step at a time, hoping that things would eventually work out.

He was a lazy person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a large sum of money and immediately thought of using it to speculate in stocks, making money by riding the coattails of others.

Koko Venture Capital Company was obviously a small institution created by Su Yehao to save trouble, continuing to ride the coattails of others. In the future, he only needed to provide investment directions, and the rest could be done by his subordinates. How comfortable.

The tAt company was different.

It needed to develop its own products and expand its own market. To succeed, it wasn't enough to just throw money at it. It was quite difficult.

There was no other way; Tencent hadn't appeared yet.

The prerequisite for riding the coattails of others was to have a car first. However, there was no car to ride at the moment, and the market was so big that Su Yehao was a little impulsive.

So some time ago, when he happened to see the chat room developed by A Qiang and A Dai, he immediately decided to take it over.

Calming down and taking another look...

Su Yehao doubted whether he was cut out for it.

Doing investment and doing business in person were two different things.

Don't panic.

There was a way to solve it.

At this moment, Su Yehao was pondering how to hire a knowledgeable person to manage the business for him.

Although he had no entrepreneurial experience, he also knew that the real fighters were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, but the benefits were reaped by Liu Bei, who successfully ascended the throne.

Zhuge Liang hadn't led troops before he came down the mountain either.

Why bother being so stubborn?

Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses was obviously the right way.

Regarding the selection of management talent, a suitable candidate suddenly popped into Su Yehao's head—Lei Busi!

That current employee of Yinhai.

He was both in management, understood the mainland market, and was a programmer himself.

Although he didn't know how capable he was at the moment, extrapolating from his future success, he should be worth serious cultivation, always better than A Qiang and A Dai.

As for communication and life, it wasn't a problem at all. At worst, he could pay an extra salary to find a translator for Lei Busi.

Then he began to ponder that since he wasn't a business genius, and his only talent was in raising fish, he might as well just be a strategist who offered advice and paid the money.

Thinking that he could throw off the burden on his shoulders, Su Yehao suddenly felt relieved, and his thoughts became clear.

It was like opening a door to a new world.

Then he began to consider that as long as there was enough capital, and he could find the right people to form a team, could he also try portal websites, browsers, and online games?

……

Su Yehao didn't have time to treat A Qiang and A Dai to dinner, and dropped five hundred Hong Kong dollars before leaving, telling them to find somewhere to celebrate.

The two were indeed easy to please.

As soon as he left with Nong Qingying, A Dai suggested splitting the five hundred dollars, two hundred and fifty each.

The little fatty stretched his neck, vaguely smelling a faint fragrance, and only then exclaimed, "As expected of a young master, there are so many beautiful women around him. The one at the café last time already made me lose my soul, but this beauty is even more stunning. If I could drink a mouthful of her bathwater, I could be happy for five years."

A Qiang paused in the act of dividing the money after hearing this.

He conveniently stuffed the five hundred dollars into his own pocket and said:

"Are you trying to die? Don't drag me down if you want to lose your job! Because of that sentence alone, the money is gone. Be careful, I'll report you to the boss. I'll treat you to a bowl of wonton noodles tonight, let's go!"

A Dai was speechless, and complained, "We two don't have different positions, why do you have the right to deduct my meal money?"

"Just because you offended my future job. Think about how to decorate the office and keep our jobs, okay? Once a really great programmer comes, won't we be exposed? All our little skills have already been used on the chat room. Even if I have to kneel at the door to welcome guests every day, I don't want to be fired. I've been racking my brains trying to think of a new program lately, unlike you who's been sleeping soundly. Based on this alone, I should be your boss."

A Qiang was determined to keep his job, and was full of fighting spirit.

It wasn't easy to make a living, so cherish it.

A position with an annual salary of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars was extremely attractive to ordinary students from ordinary universities like him.

Locking the door of the office building.

"The company is just starting out, and they're renting such a large office building in Central. As expected, they're generous. There's a building nearby that belongs to the Su family, with the words 'Sihai International' hanging on it."

After A Qiang sighed, he then said:

"Although the girl just now was beautiful, I still prefer the one at the koko restaurant. Her temperament is comfortable. No wonder you can't see this kind of great beauty on the street; they've all run off with people like Little Su. Let's work hard, make money, and we can have that in the future too!"

A Dai rolled his eyes and reached out, "I also have dirt on you, quickly give me two hundred dollars. It's useless if you only have money; go look in the mirror. Even if they're as poor as us, they're better looking than us."

"Why are you telling such harsh truths..."

The two bickered and went downstairs all the way.

Earlier, Su Yehao felt that A Qiang and A Dai were not up to the task and couldn't shoulder the responsibility because they didn't dare to be responsible for the interview.

The reason for keeping them.

It was mainly because they understood the program and could carry out subsequent development work.

Looking at it this way.

A Qiang's worry that he would be kicked out after the one-year work contract expired was not unfounded.

————————————

That afternoon, around three o'clock, the fishing boat procedures were initially completed.

The dealer hired several old employees to help drive the boat to Lantau Island. Nong Qingying's hometown was located in a small village called Snake Neck Bay on the north side of Lantau Island, with a Snake Neck Pier nearby, full of fishing boats.

Local housing prices were low and the population was small. Although it was close to the newly built Hong Kong International Airport this year, employment was still inconvenient, and most households made a living by fishing.

The older generation relied on the sea for a living, while the younger generation preferred to go out and find a job, like Nong Qingying, who rarely returned home after going to university.

The old fishing boats were ultimately not as attractive as the prosperous metropolis.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Yehao stood at the bow of the yacht, looking at the small fishing village on the shore.

The houses were colorful, with both two or three-story village houses and old wooden houses on stilts by the water. There were a total of four or five hundred households, surrounded by trees and hills, full of greenery.

Nong Qingying pointed to a light yellow two-story building and said, "That's my home. I wanted to take my parents to live in Kowloon before. I thought I could really get two million a year, just by acting. I wanted to buy them an apartment or a village house, but they were angry with me and didn't even want to answer the phone."

Su Yehao pulled her into his arms and said with a smile, "Your parents are both angry? Who's easier to deal with? I'll let your neighbors see this boat worth over a hundred million later. Then all the residents of Lantau Island will know that you've found another rich boyfriend."

"Why does that sound like it's not a good thing? The last time doesn't count, this is the first time, you can't say 'another'."

Nong Qingying curled her lips and added:

"They must have already heard that I was kicked out of the Xue family. They're probably laughing at my parents, so it's good to let them vent their anger, so my parents don't have to hold their heads down. My mom is okay, but my dad is very angry. If he kicks me out later, you can't be angry, okay? At worst... I'll compensate you later."

Su Yehao understood.

He smiled and nodded, asking her, "Are you the only child in your family?"

"...Now I'm the only one. I used to have an older brother. When I was twelve years old, I heard that he got sick, a heart attack, and he was gone very quickly. He was still in high school at the time. Don't mention this."

Nong Qingying was obviously nervous and her back was tense.

The fishing boat was slow and still on its way; it would arrive later.

The captain had never been to this old pier.

He found Su Yehao and suggested staying in the offshore waters and using a rubber dinghy to go ashore to avoid bumping into anything.

Su Yehao agreed.

Soon, under the gaze of many villagers, he took Nong Qingying to the shore.

She was carrying her high heels in her hand, always afraid of puncturing the rubber dinghy, and was now walking barefoot on the beach.

In all these years, Snake Neck Village had never seen such a luxurious private yacht, full of style and extravagance.

Nong Qingying was like a proud little hen, holding her head high, full of charm.

She knew how fast news spread in this small village, and boldly hooked her arm around Su Yehao's, probably wanting to tell her neighbors—I'm back in the limelight!

Su Yehao only found it interesting.

It was inevitable to have vanity; just don't be too extreme.

Besides, Su Yehao was also a little proud to be shown off by the girl.

At this time, he couldn't wait to suffer a little at the hands of Nong Qingying's parents; he really wanted to try the so-called "compensation."

……

"Little Ying, you're back!"

An auntie fisherman wearing a bamboo hat, her skin dark from long-term sun exposure, waved and shouted.

Nong Qingying stopped and replied with a smile, "Yes, Auntie Zhou, I bought a new fishing boat for my family, and it'll be delivered later. I'm also here to see my parents!"

"Oh, you brought a man back? That big speedboat startled me; it must be very expensive?" Auntie Zhou asked tentatively.

Nong Qingying didn't hide anything and immediately said with a smile, "A yacht worth nearly two hundred million! This is my new boyfriend!"

After chatting for a few words.

Su Yehao accompanied her home again, and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid of gossip if you're so high-profile?"

"I knew Auntie Zhou would ask about the price. Now it's great; once she knows, the whole village will know. Anyway, some busybody will definitely be nosy. Rather than them feeling sorry for me being kicked out of the Xue family, it's better to make them envious. At worst, they can say I'm a gold digger. They've already said it once before; it won't take a pound of flesh off me."

Nong Qingying said she didn't care, but it seemed like she did care.

Su Yehao patted her hand to comfort her:

"I'm worried that your family will be isolated. If you have the chance, you should persuade your parents to move somewhere else to live; they can fish anywhere. People in the village have a lot of daily interactions and a lot of gossip. It would be a little more comfortable if they moved somewhere else."

In the past, he often heard people gossiping about who had become rich and who was struggling, and life was hard.

Su Yehao was no stranger to this.

In her situation, it was inevitable that people would be jealous and talk behind her back, so it was better to just move the whole family and start a new life.

Nong Qingying understood this as well and sighed:

"My dad is stubborn. If he was willing to listen to my advice, he would have moved long ago..."
