Chapter 47: We know each other
Translated by me, edited by Fade.
Such a pretty yacht. The streamlined exterior, the all wood deck, and the angling counter at the back.
Itâs not that Ye Qing hasnât seen a yacht before, itâs just with Zhongyun being next to the sea, and lots of wealthy individuals liked to purchase one just for the face.
There is also a bunch on T.V. and on the internet. However right now is the first time seeing one this close.
At the same time Ye Qing was feeling very suspicious, what is this yacht moored here for?
Why the heck would such an expensive looking yacht come to the barren wasteland that is Dragon Creek Beach?
Doesnât matter what theyâre here for, at least this place is still under Ye Qingâs control.
Ye Qing standing on top of the small dock, overlooked the moored yacht.
The sunglasses like glass covering the cockpit blocked Ye Qingâs view. However the door to the cockpit was quickly opened, a man wearing a dress shirt and blazer exited.
This guy is most likely the captain of the ship, just without any rank markings or military uniforms.
âLittle brother, may I ask if you still build boats here?â The man waved at Ye Qing: âI saw the GPS markings of a shipyard here.â
âIt went bankrupt a long time ago.â Ye Qing pointed to the high wall behind him: âI bought this place and switched industries.â
âSwitched?â The stunned man apologized: âOh, sorry, but our yacht broke down, so can we still borrow your dock here?â
âThere are just too many reeds here, our yacht wrecked its propellor blades nearby, and being able to persist until here is already a miracle. Now the yachtâs lost all of its propulsion and needs to switch out for a new set of propellers.
âDonât you need to enter a dry dock to swap out the propellers? I donât have any here.â Ye Qing guessed this was one of those drivers especially hired by the wealthy. Otherwise there is no way he would be this courteous.
âThere is some empty space over there. When the high tide comes, we can push the yacht over and secure it in place. We can do all the repairs once the tide leaves.â
This guy probably has some understanding of ship repairs, as he pointed to a stretch of empty space next to the dock: âThat place other there is most likely what the old shipyard used to bring the boats on shore, it even has a specially designed slide.â
Ye Qing rubbed his chin, in deep thought.
âWeâre only here for a night, and swapping out the propellers is really quick. Iâve already contacted the other shipyards to send over the propellers, weâll be done by tomorrow morning.â
âPlease help out bro, weâll even pay double the fees for mooring here.â
âAlright, you guys can stay for the night.â Ye Qing waved his hand, indicating to him to stop.
Ye Qing originally didnât want them to moor here. Cause if they do, then Ye Qing must recall the monsters to prevent them from being seen.
But to chase them away and have them find any other dock to moor at, then thatâll probably raise their suspicions.
After all for someone to not take the money and chase them away, then are they making something illegal there?
Itâs only for a night, and they probably wonât be on the yacht at night. The monsters can come out then, so he might as well help out.
âThank you, thank you.â The pilot hurried to express his gratitude.
The dock is slightly higher than the yacht, so the pilot of the yacht asked Ye Qing if heâs got a gangway here that he can borrow.
There is a bunch of gangways left behind by the previous owner because no one wantâs them anymore. Ye Qing pulled a really weathered one out from the corner of the yard.
The outer appearance of the gangway is seriously poor. Itâs full of bumps and pot-holes, and really easy for people to raise doubts about how sturdy it is.
Placing the gangway in place, the yacht pilot ran back inside. From the looks of things, heâs probably inviting the boss out.
âWhat arrogance.â Ye Qing is somewhat looking down upon this guyâs attitude. If it was him, heâd just jump onto the meter tall dock.
A girl wearing a fragmented flower dress and a sunflower hat exited from the cockpit.
Ye Qing was stunned speechless and was thinking it was inconceivable as he looked at the prettily dressed girl.
Itâs not that Ye Qing recognized who she was, but this pretty looking girl with her very good looking face, is seriously too young.
Before Ye Qing thought it was going to be a short and fat boss with anger issues, hence the need for a gangway.
This girl looks to be very delicate, beautiful hair flowing with the ever moving wind, coupled with those thin and smooth looking arms, and fair and slender legs, she is extremely capable of attracting the protectiveness of all men.
Ye Qing smiled at her, then like a gentleman, invited her onto the docks.
This charming girl replied Ye Qingâs smile with her own sweet smile, causing Ye Qing to almost topple over into the sea.
The yacht pilot rushed forward and tried the gangway, maybe due to its dangerousness, he even hopped half way through.
âNo problem!â The pilot jumped onto the dock, using his hands to steady the gangway and signaled her to come to shore.
This girl is actually pretty easy-mannered, as she picked up the edges of her dress and walked onto the gangway.
Due to the tranquil surroundings around Dragon Creek Beach, the yacht is actually pretty stable. Itâs just that when she was just halfway across, this piece of extremely weathered gangway suddenly collapsed in two with a crack, snap, and a pop.
Three cries of alarm and surprise sounded together.
Just as this girl was about to fall into the water underneath, she thought of reaching out for the docks with her snow white hands. Yet the reaction from the squatting yacht pilot is way too late.
Ye Qing immediately jumped out and grabbed onto her wrist.
The pilot hurriedly stood up and thought of helping out.
Ye Qing with a pull, brought this girl up onto the dock.
Roughly 100 pounds. Ye Qing whose been recently working with curbstones, used the 90 pound curbstones as a reference, and came to a reasonable conclusion.
âThank you. Thank you for saving me.â This girlâs already white face, was scared even paler.
âWhat did you say?â This time Ye Qing is really stunned, as he refused to let go of her hand.
âI said thank you for saving me?â This pretty girl patted her panic ridden chest, even under these circumstances, her voice is still pleasant to listen to just like skylark.
âYour voiceâŠâŠâ
Ye Qing half believing, half doubting called out her name: âYouâre XiaâŠâŠ Muqing?â
âAh!â She without calming herself, was again petrified by a single sentence from Ye Qing.
âHow, how do know me?â Xia Muqing removed her Hawaii like sunflower hat, and revealed a very fragile looking face.
Her eyes were full of shock. In another provinceâs unfamiliar city, thereâs actually a man who she doesnât even know that could correctly call out her name just after hearing her voice.
If Ye Qing had called out her name immediately after seeing her.
Then Xia Muqing might have been able to accept it. After all she is Tiancheng mining corporationâs shining pearl, at the same time she is Tiancheng mining corporationâs general manager, so she is quite well known within some circles.
The problem lies with the strange look in Ye Qingâs eyes upon immediately seeing her.
Ye Qing was also shocked!
Xia Muqing doesnât keep any pictures containing her on WeChat, but her voice gave Ye Qing a deep impression.
Otherwise how can Ye Qing correctly recognize her immediately after she opened her mouth?
What a coincidence, Ye Qing felt like he could go and play the lottery today.
Now looking back, the pictures on her friends group is definitely from the signing ceremony where they agreed to the huge purchase with [Huaxing Heavy Industry].
Itâs just he never wouldâve thought that they would meet on the barren wasteland that is Dragon Creek Beach.
