I'm in Wuha, and the whole internet is shipping me and Song Yuqi as a couple.

Chapter 157 The Power of Money: It's That Simple and Unpretentious

Wu Zheng stood there, bewildered in the wind.

He prepared a whole set of consumer traps, from ice cream cards to karaoke vouchers to late-night snack gift packs, just waiting for these people to fall into his carefully designed pit step by step.

As a result, Song Yuqi, the newly appointed housekeeper, directly cut off the source of the problem by shutting down the purse strings.

He turned and left without giving him a chance to continue his sales pitch.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wu Zheng snapped out of his daze and quickly chased after her. "Yuqi, don't go! Let's talk about it again!"

Song Yuqi didn't turn her head back.

Jiang Che held her hand, carrying the heavy bag of funds in his other hand, and walked at a leisurely pace.

He even had time to turn around and give Wu Zheng a polite but distant smile.

"Director Wu, the speedboat won't wait."

As Wu Zheng watched the two figures walk away side by side, he felt that the pit he had painstakingly dug had ultimately filled him with its own blood.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han followed behind, gloating.

As Chen He passed by Wu Zheng, he patted him on the shoulder in a serious manner.

"Director Wu, please accept my condolences."

The group marched in a grand procession toward the seaside pier.

At the pier, ordinary tourists were queuing up in long lines waiting for the ferry, the queue stretching for dozens of meters.

Meanwhile, at a private berth, two uniformed crew members stood waiting.

Upon seeing Jiang Che and his group approach, the crew members immediately stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Distinguished guests, welcome aboard our VIP speedboat."

Chen He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and walked over first with a pigeon-toed gait.

As he passed the queue, he waved to them, his face clearly displaying the message: "Unique and extraordinary."

Deng Chao followed closely behind, sighing as he walked.

"Is this the power of money? The air even smells sweeter now."

The speedboat's interior was quite luxurious, with off-white leather sofas and a large ice bucket on the small table in the middle, filled with champagne and various drinks.

Next to it was a platter of freshly cut fruit, including cantaloupe, pineapple, and red dragon fruit, all neatly arranged.

As soon as Chen He boarded the ship, he plopped down on the sofa, rolled around comfortably, and then picked up a piece of cantaloupe and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sweet! So sweet!"

Deng Chao didn't stand on ceremony; he opened a bottle of ice-cold cola and gulped it down. "Awesome!"

Lu Han chose a seat by the window and sat down, looking at the azure sea outside and enjoying the rare tranquility.

Song Yuqi only found a seat after checking the life-saving equipment on the ship.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Che handed her a glass of warm water.

"Drink some water, don't just drink beverages."

Song Yuqi took the cup and complained softly.

"Look at the two of them, they're like they've never seen the world before."

Jiang Che followed her gaze and saw Chen He trying to shove his whole head into the ice bucket, while Deng Chao forcefully pulled his hind legs back.

He looked away and smiled slightly.

"Great, the atmosphere team is very dedicated and provides excellent emotional value."

The speedboat started and smoothly sailed away from the dock, leaving a white trail of spray on the sea.

The sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a salty and damp scent.

Song Yuqi's bangs were blown into a mess by the wind, and she just raised her hand to tidy them up.

Jiang Che's hand had already reached out to help her tuck her hair behind her ear.

His fingers brushed against her earlobe unintentionally, the warm touch causing Song Yuqi to catch her breath slightly.

She instinctively shrank to the side, her cheeks feeling a little hot.

Jiang Che withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, picked up a grape from the table, peeled it, and held it to her lips.

"Is it sweet?"

Song Yuqi opened her mouth and took it in, the sweet juice overflowing in her mouth.

She nodded, her eyes sparkling.

Jiang Che peeled another one and ate it himself.

Deng Chao and Chen He, who were not far away, looked at this scene, exchanged a glance, and silently moved a little further away from them.

Chen He lowered his voice.

"I feel like a 1,000-watt light bulb."

Deng Chao nodded in deep agreement.

"No, we are searchlights, bright and hot."

After the speedboat had been traveling at sea for about twenty minutes, a lush green island came into view.

Instead of docking at the public pier, the speedboat headed towards a more secluded private jetty.

At the end of the pier, a butler dressed in a sharp suit and wearing white gloves was already waiting there.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to West Island."

The butler smiled and opened the car door for them, leading them to a sightseeing electric vehicle.

The electric vehicle slowly traveled along the path lined with palm trees, and soon, a modern white detached villa came into view.

The villa faces the sea and has a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. A huge infinity pool extends from the living room to the outside, merging with the sea in the distance.

"Holy crap!" Chen He was the first to jump out of the car, his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Deng Chao followed behind, walking around the pool, his face full of shock.

"Wu Zheng has really gone all out this time."

The butler led the way and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the villa.

The spacious and bright living room, the high ceilings, the open kitchen, and all the furniture exude a simple yet stylish design.

"The villa has five bedrooms. The master bedroom is on the second floor, offering the best sea view and featuring a walk-in closet and bathroom. The other four guest rooms are located on the first and second floors respectively."

The housekeeper explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen He and Deng Chao rushed towards the stairs to the second floor like two wild dogs that had broken free of their reins.

"The master bedroom is mine!"

"I was here first!"

The two started fighting on the stairs, neither willing to give in.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Song Yuqi rubbed her temples in exasperation.

She was about to speak to stop him when Jiang Che had already reached the top of the stairs.

He leaned against the handrail, watching the two people fighting upstairs, and spoke slowly.

"The master bedroom has a 2.2-meter-wide bed."

The fighting on the stairs stopped.

Deng Chao and Chen He both stopped moving, glanced at each other, and then slowly released each other.

Jiang Che continued.

"If you want to sleep together, we have no objection."

Chen Heqian chuckled twice, climbed off Deng Chao, and dusted off his clothes.

"Um... Brother Chao, please respect the elders and care for the young, so you can sleep in the master bedroom."

Deng Chao immediately waved his hand.

"No, no, no, you're young and need more sleep, you should sleep."

The two politely deferred to each other as they walked down the stairs, exchanging knowing glances as they passed Jiang Che.

Song Yuqi watched in stunned silence. Could this really be done?

Finally, the room allocation results were announced without any surprises.

Jiang Che and Song Yuqi moved into the master bedroom on the second floor, which had the best view.

Deng Chao and Chen He stayed in two adjacent guest rooms on the first floor.

Lu Han chose another quieter room on the second floor.

After settling their luggage, everyone regrouped in the living room.

Chen He immediately spotted the several huge, unopened boxes in the yard; they were the trendy swimming rings they had bought earlier.

"Guys! Let's have a pool party!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly and was the first to rush out.

Deng Chao followed closely behind.

"Where is my flamingo!"

Several people hurriedly unpacked the package and used an electric air pump to inflate the white goose and flamingo.

Soon, the huge swimming rings filled the entire yard.

Chen He, holding the giant white goose that was taller than him, took a running start, shouted, and jumped into the pool, splashing a huge spray of water.

"Come on! Let's have some fun!"

Deng Chao also rode his flamingo into the water, and the two of them, armed with water guns, engaged in a fierce water fight in the pool.

Song Yuqi stood by the pool, watching the group of men playing like children, and couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Che took two bath towels out of the room and handed one to her.

"Want to go down and play?"

Song Yuqi shook her head.

I'm not a very good swimmer.

"I'll teach you."
