Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

After the initial excitement subsided, Sun Yu immediately took out her phone and transferred money to Xia Tingwan via WeChat.

The amount is "6666".

This strategist wasn't bragging; with her brains, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University would be a piece of cake.

Xia Tingwan had previously stated that she deliberately lowered her scores in order to stay in the local area for university.

Sun Yu was initially somewhat skeptical, but this completely dispelled her doubts.

Such talent is rare and hard to come by; we must win them over.

Giving a little more money is nothing.

Meanwhile, Sun Jian called the underlings at Star Orbit Bar and asked them to take over the casino there.

A few more people were transferred from the cruise ship to fill the Star Trails Bar.

After dealing with these matters, Sun Jian turned to his underling and asked, "Where are Biaozi and his girlfriend?"

"I need to treat them to a nice meal."

The younger brother didn't know where they were at this point, but since the boss had spoken, he couldn't just say he didn't know.

As a dutiful subordinate, he immediately took out his phone: "Boss, wait a moment, I'll call right away to confirm their exact arrival time."

He dialed Lin Jianshen's phone number.

"The number you dialed is not in service area..."

It's estimated that they've already reached international waters, which is why there's no phone signal.

However, the ship was equipped with satellite internet and WiFi, so I switched to making a WeChat voice call.

After hanging up the phone, the younger brother replied, "Boss, the guy who went to pick them up said that Brother Biao left from our port a few days ago."

"I estimate we'll be on the ship in about three hours."

Sun Jian nodded in satisfaction and went to handle some work first.

Then, at the precise moment, he personally stood by the ship's side to greet Lin Jianshen.

It was dusk, and under the setting sun, countless golden points of light danced on the sea.

A small cruise ship approached.

Lin Jianshen and Xia Tingwan were standing side by side on the deck watching the sunset.

Both of them were wearing T-shirts and jeans, which looked like matching outfits.

Xia Tingwan held his arm with one hand, pointed to the sea with the other, and opened and closed her small mouth as if she was saying something.

Lin Jianshen had an undisguised smile on his lips.

So Xia Tingwan laughed along with her.

It's clear that they're both quite happy right now.

Sun Jian curled his lip. This kid may be a freak, but he's actually eating well.

This girl is really pretty.

He felt a little envious, but mostly happy.

Because Lin Jianshen now not only has courage and wisdom, but also has a weakness.

We can give him a higher position later.

To be fair, Sun Jian did have some brotherly affection for him.

At least that's what Sun Jian himself thinks.

To board a large ship in motion, a multi-degree-of-freedom boarding bridge or a wave-adaptive boarding device is usually required.

But this is a luxury cruise ship, and there is a safer way – there is a special small boat tunnel under the ship's hull, and the boarding platform is at the end of the tunnel.

A small boat was launched from the small cruise ship.

Lin Jianshen and Xia Tingwan, wearing life jackets, sat on the small boat.

The driver steered the small boat into the tunnel and eventually docked next to the boarding platform.

The two disembarked from the small boat and boarded the giant cruise ship, which cost billions of dollars to build.

The giant ship sails along a fixed route, stopping at a port in a Southeast Asian country for resupply.

There are many tourists on the ship, so there are also many staff members, and the facilities are very complete.

There are more than a dozen restaurants.

The most luxurious restaurants also have private rooms, offering excellent privacy.

Sun Jian was in a good mood, chatting and laughing all the way to the restaurant's private room with Lin Jianshen and Xia Tingwan.

A banquet has already been set up here.

The management staff who weren't on duty on the cruise ship were mostly there to keep them company.

Sun Jian was clearly trying to boost his brother's reputation.

This attitude is essentially telling the management that they should give Lin Jianshen face when working together in the future.

These people who have reached this position are all shrewd and capable; whether they like it or not, they are outwardly warm and attentive.

Lin Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that after a series of risky actions, he wouldn't have to start from the bottom as a junket operator.

He took a big step forward and got one step closer to escaping the quagmire.

Normally, drinking would be involved at such a dinner party.

Fortunately, Sun Jian knew that he had finally managed to quit drinking, so he didn't force him and asked the waiter to pour him a mojito.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

After finishing their meal, the two stood on the ship's railing, leaning on the railing to admire the scenery.

As the setting sun slowly dipped below the horizon, one could see the top of a large ship in the distance.

Sun Jian patted Lin Jianshen on the shoulder and said, "You've had a tough time lately. Don't think about anything these next few days. Just think of it as relaxing on the ship."

"Li Shiqi won't stay in Donghai for long; he'll soon be back on the cruise ship. Li Peng has lost his businesses, so he'll most likely be coming back with him."

"Wait until they return before you go back to the East China Sea, just in case."

Lin Jianshen nodded: "Brother Jian, I understand your good intentions, thank you."

Sun Jian tugged at his white bamboo-patterned shirt and chuckled, "From now on, call me Brother Jian when there are people around, but don't bother when there's no one around."

"Brother, don't be so polite."

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, took out a windproof lighter, lit it, and took a puff.

"By the way, you've done a great job this time, so I'll give you a few junket operators and dealers."

"Whether you want to stay on the ship and be their boss, or go back to the East China Sea to expand your business, it's up to you."

Lin Jianshen said, "I'll still go to Donghai. I think my approach is sound. There must be some big fish among those investors."

Sun Jian said, "If you're going to the East China Sea, you'll need a deputy to help you with the daily management here."

"Are there any suitable candidates? If not, you'll need to stay for a few more months and spend some time training one."

Lin Jianshen waved his hand lightly, dispersing the drifting smoke, and said in a half-joking tone, "Couldn't you just assign one to me directly?"

Sun Jian scoffed, "Dream on. Don't you know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy and capable?"

Lin Jianshen tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Why don't we let Jin Li do it?"

"This kid is good, shrewd and capable."

"Jinli? You two haven't known each other for very long, have you?" Sun Jian turned his head. "Besides, this kid is disobedient; can we really trust him?"

Lin Jianshen said, "Different people have different destinies, and I feel that he and I get along quite well."

Sun Jian chuckled twice: "Alright then, you chose your own deputy, so you'll have to take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"In a few days, I will arrange for a few people to work at the Star Trail Bar on rotation, and replace some people from there."

He stretched and said, "Tell him in advance that we can come together and get familiar with the staff I assigned to you and the business in this area."

Unlike the trusted confidants who filled the vacancies, the people being rotated were originally under Lao Zhao's command.

It was only recently subdued.

Sun Jian moved them to the main camp, so even if they regretted their decision or developed disloyalty, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

The people brought back from the headquarters are highly loyal and can be placed in key management positions.

Through repeated cycles, he managed to firmly grasp the cruise ship in his hands.

Lin Jianshen nodded: "I'll talk to him in a bit."

After finishing his cigarette, Sun Jian flicked the butt over the ship's side. The cigarette butt drifted far away in the sea breeze before falling into the azure ocean.

The conversation seemed to be over. He took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around and asked, "What about your little brother, Song Siyuan? What are your plans?"

Lin Jianshen said, "I plan to enroll him in a driving school, let him get a driver's license, and then he can stay in Donghai as my assistant and driver."

"When two people work together, the success rate is definitely higher."

Sun Jian nodded: "Reliable people are hard to find. Actually, Mengzi is not bad either, he's just a bit timid."

"Your arrangement is indeed the most suitable."

He waved to someone not far away: "Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, come here for a second."

Xiao Zhu, who jogged over, was a round-faced young man of medium build, wearing a white suit shirt and black suit pants.

He was a senior executive in charge of the ship's food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, and one of Sun Jian's confidants.

Xiao Zhu asked, "Brother Jian, what are your orders?"

Sun Jian said, "Choose a room for Biaozi; that will be his regular private room on the ship from now on. Mark it in the front desk system and don't rent it out."

He glanced at Xia Tingwan, who was admiring the sunset at the bow of the boat, and then instructed, "Find a few more sets of clothes and send them to the room, both men's and women's styles."

He patted Xiao Zhu on the shoulder: "Biaozi, this is your first time bringing your younger siblings to visit, don't embarrass yourself."

Xiao Zhu nodded: "Understood, I'll handle it personally, and I'll definitely make Brother Biao satisfied."

He chose a balcony room with a particularly good view from among those luxurious rooms.

Since Lin Jianshen was with his "girlfriend," they might have some kind of digestive activities in the evening, so they needed better privacy.

Xiao Zhu had also considered this point, as the surrounding area consisted of long-term private rooms reserved for high-roller clients.

These big spenders actually only come a few times a year.

The rooms are mostly empty, so you don't have to worry about being overheard.

As darkness fell, the sea turned from orange-red to deep blue.

The cruise ship cut through the waves and headed towards deeper waters.
