Chapter 118 Boarding the Ship "You suit me very well."

Chapter 118 Boarding the Ship "You suit me very well."

With a bang.

The phone, held in front of my eyes, fell vertically.

She has a great figure... she has a great figure... she has a great figure.

Cheng Zhao's mind was racing, until a phone falling from mid-air hit his high nose bridge, sending a sharp pain through him.

"Hiss—" Cheng Zhao was still lying on the sofa in the same position as before, grabbing his phone with one hand and rubbing his nose with the other.

When Guan Sen knocked on the door and pushed it open with the documents in his arms, he saw his boss with a red nose and looking a little lost in thought.

"!!!" An alarm suddenly went off in Guan Sen's ears.

Could it be that the boss's tagging of Ms. Ye Hantao upset her?

Because of that mention and the chairman's own repost, their secretariat's small group chat became incredibly lively.

The situation has now progressed to the point where people are betting on when the official announcement will finally appear online.

He made a bet on two weeks' worth of late-night snacks, firmly believing that it would definitely be done by the end of the month.

Just as Guan Sen was feeling down about the potential loss of his bank card balance, Cheng Zhao's cold, sharp gaze swept over him.

"You're there offering sacrifices with a long face?"

"yes……"

A tribute to the bank card balance.

Guan Sen was startled and looked up to meet Cheng Zhao's half-smiling gaze.

In a flash, he shouted, "I just saw on social media that you and Miss Hantao are a match made in heaven!"

Cheng Zhao wasn't angry at first, but after hearing Guan Sen's very sensible words, he raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "I'll use my private account, and double your year-end bonus."

Guan Sen grinned from ear to ear, "Thank you, boss!"

After saying that, he stopped smiling, bent down and placed the documents on the coffee table. "Boss, this is the schedule for Sunday night's fashion show. It's just been prepared over there."

Although the two owners are husband and wife, the fashion show is not under their management.

After video chatting with Tao Tao last night, Cheng Zhao called his mother to ask about the procedures and the relevant personnel.

"Number 1207..." Cheng Zhao flipped through the cruise ship's description in the document, finding it hard not to associate it with Tao Tao.

Zhou Yi, who had initially declined to attend due to work commitments, suddenly said he had time to come after Tao Tao agreed to attend the fashion show with Jin Shiyue.

Seeing Cheng Zhao looking at the documents, Guan Sen whispered, "Boss, I heard from Elowen that Mrs. Guo, the chairman of Huayao Group, wants to get another invitation."

Family members are welcome to attend this fashion show; no invitation is required for family members.

It goes without saying who Mrs. Guo wanted this extra invitation for.

Guan Sen had also seen the gossip online and had some wicked thoughts: "Why don't we send them another invitation, and then you can give Chu Liangjun a good slap in the face on the cruise ship?"

“He’s spoiled.” Cheng Zhao’s voice was tinged with coldness. “If I see Chu Liangjun on the cruise ship, your year-end bonus will be completely deducted.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Sen quickly picked up his phone and instructed Elowen, who also had malicious intentions, not to send the other party another invitation.

Cheng Zhao did not stop Guan Sen.

He'll have plenty of opportunities to teach Chu Liangjun a lesson; there's no need for him to come onto the cruise ship and get in Tao Tao's way.

After receiving Elowen's reply, Guan Sen calmed down and continued to report: "Boss, the new batch of clothes you purchased has just been delivered to Lanwan Villa."

Cheng Zhao didn't even look up. "Have someone send a few more sets."

"Send a few more sets? Is the previous style not to your liking?"

"The style remains the same."

Cheng Zhao put down the documents and stood up from the sofa.

His 1.9-meter height brought a slight sense of oppression, and he said lazily, "But the cut must accentuate the figure."

"..." Guan Sen nodded silently.

Sure enough, no matter who it is, they can't help but show their face when they're chasing someone.

After Guan Sen left the office, Cheng Zhao lay back on the sofa like a boneless person and unlocked his phone.

[TaoTao: You have a great figure.]

[Cheng Zhao: Thank you for your recognition.]

After looking at the three words at the top several times, Cheng Zhao took a screenshot of the page and put it in his encrypted photo album.

Another message popped up; it was from Chen Xiaofeng.

[Chen Xiaofeng: Tsk tsk tsk, it's obvious your whole family is eager to marry you off quickly.]

Cheng Zhao typed slowly: [How did you know Tao Tao just praised me?]

Chen Xiaofeng: "?"

Who asked you?! I'm telling you, who asked you?!

Looking again, their mutual friend Lu Yiyan sent them a screenshot of his chat with Cheng Zhao.

[Lu Yiyan: Cheng Zhao, you went to the fashion show, right?]

[Cheng Zhao: Yes, Tao Tao just praised me.]

[Lu Yiyan: (Bye.jpg)]

Cheng Zhao lay on the sofa and bothered all his friends on his contact list from top to bottom.

After receiving two more blocks, he decided to harass them from the bottom up.

He understood that these people were envious and jealous.

At 6 p.m. on Sunday, the luxury cruise ship No. 1207 docked at Kai Tak Port in Hong Kong.

Hundreds of bodyguards were on site to maintain order and ensure safety.

Private cars came and went, and various media outlets carried cameras to capture the red carpet.

The nightlight casts dappled light.

Ye Hantao yawned while sitting in the car.

Jin Shiyue glanced at her and asked, "Didn't you take a nap for about ten minutes while you were getting your hair done?"

Ye Hantao nodded slowly.

She came by plane, with Cheng Zhao.

When she was searching for cruise ships online, she remembered reading in an article that this cruise ship often docked at Kai Tak Port in the port city, and occasionally at Miami.

Yuncheng also has a port, but the No. 1207 cruise ship weighs 180,000 tons, which the Yuncheng port cannot accommodate.

They flew here from Yuncheng, a journey that took nearly two and a half hours.

Ye Hantao was a little afraid of heights before boarding, but fortunately the flight was smooth and the first class cabin was very comfortable.

As soon as I got off the plane, Sister Shiyue took me to a styling shop in Hong Kong.

Makeup, hair styling, changing into a dress.

"I stayed up too late last night discussing the sharing session with my roommate," Ye Hantao said, rubbing her eyes. "I also got up early this morning to attend the exchange meeting."

Cheng Zhao noticed that Ye Hantao was still sleepy-eyed, and the image of her just waking up when the plane landed suddenly flashed through his mind.

Her almond-shaped eyes, though slightly elongated, were misty at first, but once she regained her senses, they cleared and became bright and clear.

"Want a mint?" He opened his hand, revealing not only mint-flavored candies but also mango and strawberry flavors.

"The housekeeper's cooking skills have improved again. She added extra fruit juice, and it bursts with flavor when you take a bite."

Ye Hantao immediately became interested and snatched all the candies away.

"Sister Shiyue, do you want some?"

"...I won't eat it."

[Hahahaha, Kintoki says she's not participating in your silly antics.]

[To be precise, they're not even a couple yet!]

What's the difference between them negotiating and this?

Yes, I guarantee it.

[If they really negotiated, Cheng Zhao would have already made his move; would he really give up his position to Jin Shiyue?]

That makes sense.

[So, have Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao already discussed this? One is wearing a champagne-colored dress, and the other is wearing a champagne-colored tie.]

[Hahahaha, he was originally wearing a black tie! But after Ye Hantao changed her dress at the stylist's, he got a new one!]

Just as Ye Hantao bit into a bursting, juicy fructose candy, their car stopped.

Before getting off the bus, Ye Hantao looked back at the dazzling starry sky ceiling, as if the Milky Way had fallen into it.

She had seen the same starry sky ceiling in her uncle's car, but it was more beautiful than this one, adorned with emeralds.

It was only then that Ye Hantao learned from her uncle that imperial green was a color variety of jadeite, while emerald was an independent gemstone variety.

She thought that imperial green and emerald green both referred to jadeite.

I wonder what the effect of a starry sky ceiling adorned with sapphires would be.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Ye Hantao lifted her skirt and stepped onto the red carpet.

The media all focused on it.

A flurry of camera flashes.

Ye Hantao was not used to it, so she squinted her eyes slightly and hid next to Cheng Zhao.

Anyway, these reporters were taking pictures of Sister Yue—

"Ye Hantao! Look this way!"

"Huh?" Ye Hantao looked over blankly, caught off guard by the sudden slap.

Cheng Zhao whispered in her ear, "You're underestimating your popularity."

Ye Hantao didn't take it too seriously. No matter how popular someone is, their popularity will fade away after the show ends.

After passing through the photo area, the red carpet was still quite long, stretching all the way from the dock up a long staircase to the main cabin entrance.

Ye Hantao saw the luxury cruise ship in the photo. The visual impact in reality was even stronger.

The massive ship's hull is entirely white, its paint reflecting the neon lights and gleaming brilliantly.

Together with the viewers in the live stream, they witnessed the splendor of the cruise ship.

As Ye Hantao and her companions walked up the long steps into the cruise ship, they became increasingly dumbfounded.

[Is this a cruise ship? It looks more like a large garden hotel! How can it be so tall!]

[I've really learned a lot from Sister Jin and Tao Tao! !!!]

Holy crap, a cruise ship not only has a swimming pool, but also a shopping street?!

I actually saw a Chanel store...

[That's not all! There are also Michelin-starred restaurants and an opera house! And that swimming pool is an infinity pool too (biting hand.jpg)]

How much does it cost to stay one night on a cruise ship like this?

I checked similar cruise ships, and the price is 500,000 RMB per night.

[Snatching a young master?! 500,000 in one night?! Huh???]

[The key point is that this is still the off-season (smile.jpg), the peak season sees 800,000 to 900,000.]

This fashion show was held inside a theater.

Upon entering the theater, waiters bowed and led the way on both sides.

Not far away, two people were looking in their direction.

"Madam Guo, is that Ye Hantao? She made Liangjun lose face a lot the other day."

Chu Minru put down her champagne glass, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes. "After Cheng Zhao leaves, let's go and have a go at her."

Ye Hantao accepted a glass of grapefruit juice that Cheng Zhao had helped hand her.

Cheng Zhao glanced at his watch. "Your private room is on the second floor. I'll come back later."

Jin Shiyue glanced at him. "It's better if you don't come."

"I'm sorry," Cheng Zhao said with a gentlemanly smile, "Tao Tao and I still have a two-person mission to complete."

He said he was embarrassed, but his smile was quite smug.

Jin Shiyue was speechless.

She brought Tao Tao to the fashion show so that Tao Tao could appreciate handsome men of different styles. If she didn't leave Cheng Zhao behind, the effect would be greatly diminished.

Along the way, she could clearly see that Ye Hantao's gaze, which was usually reserved for handsome men, was entirely fixed on Cheng Zhao.

Ye Hantao chewed on the fructose in her mouth, "Cheng Zhao, I suddenly realized something."

Cheng Zhao was about to leave when he heard this and stopped. "What is it?"

“Your casual suit…” Ye Hantao tilted her head, her eyes crinkling with a smile, “It suits you very well.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhao subtly stretched his back.

His already lean and well-defined figure appears even more voluptuous.

"It barely deserves your high praise."

When he said this, his tone was quite reserved, yet he couldn't help but want to spread his tail feathers like a peacock being praised.
