Chapter 273
Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand and has more than fifty islands, large or small. The whole city is half on land and half on the sea, just like a garden built on the sea.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, another major feature of Auckland is its convenient transportation.
Within half an hour's drive, you can get anywhere. Whether it's taking a boat to an island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking at a volcano, or going surfing.
Soon, Jiang Chen took Liu Yao out of the car at the pier by the sea.
This wharf named Old Fisherman was found by him on the Internet of the local Chinese community in New Zealand. The boss is a British guy named John, who treats tourists very friendly. It is precisely because of this that his business is very booming, and many people come to his pier to charter boats.
According to netizens who have been here, the owner who runs this pier once served in the Australian Navy and is a good diver.
The equipment in the pier is also very complete, and the rental of various diving equipment is not very expensive.
Holding Liu Yao's hand, Jiang Chen walked to the office at the dock and asked about boat rental and diving.
The red-nosed British guy was very happy to see Jiang Chen asking about diving, and cheerfully sold him various diving suits♂ in his collection. And carefully explained to him the things that need to be paid attention to when diving.
"When diving, you must pay attention to the depth. For beginners, I suggest not to exceed 6 meters."
"6 meters, what does that mean?" Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.
"In the shallow sea area, you can see beautiful scenery only 6 meters shallow. So if you are going to dive, I don't recommend you to rent a yacht to go far away. When you get to deeper waters, you may dive tens of meters I can't see anything yet, and there is a danger of encountering a shark." Although he said something very dangerous. But John's tone was funny.
"Shark, shark" Liu Yao shivered. Looking at Jiang Chen in fear, "Let's not dive."
Although her English is average, Liu Yao still recognized the word shark.
Seeing the frightened expression of the tourists, John smiled honestly and said with gestures with his hands.
"In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Most sharks do not attack people. Every year, the number of people killed by coconuts is ten times that of people attacked by sharks. Only great white sharks and tiger sharks are likely to attack people. Yes. In some places, divers will also be organized to feed sharks."
for sharks,
Jiang Chen wasn't too scared.
After all, he has even "frontally anal" the terrifying death claw, and he is still afraid of sharks that rely only on their teeth
"This is the first time I have seen a businessman who persuades customers not to rent their own yacht." Looking at John's serious look. Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"I am responsible for the safety of tourists." John shrugged. "Only when the safety of life can be guaranteed can we enjoy the charm of the sea."
"It seems that you have a good understanding of the charm of the sea." Jiang Chen smiled.
"I love diving." John smiled, showing a pair of white teeth in his unshaven beard.
"But I still want to rent a yacht and a set of diving equipment. I will worry about safety." Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
John wanted to persuade Jiang Chen, but at this moment, a discordant voice came from behind Jiang Chen.
"Could the one in front hurry up, if you can't afford the rent, don't stand there and grumble, okay?" A man wearing sunglasses. urged impatiently. Standing next to him was a coolly dressed woman who was holding his arm affectionately at the moment.
To be honest, Dai Zhengming was really tired of those compatriots who came to New Zealand for tourism. Every December, New Zealand's fresh and free air will be covered with a layer of haze. There will be more rubbish in the streets and alleys. This situation will only be alleviated in late January, because around that time, his compatriots should also go home for the New Year.
Do not doubt. Although he also wears yellow skin, he undoubtedly has a white and shiny heart. Worked at Microsoft for several years. With his outstanding performance, he managed to get a job opportunity to immigrate overseas. Although personally he prefers Australia. But next door New Zealand is also a good choice.
Like a monkey running up the treetops, he eagerly breathed the air of the free world, looking down at those of the same kind who looked up at him with envious eyes. Pride often breeds in the admiration of others, and prejudice is infinitely magnified in arrogance.
He has perfectly cast himself into the role of "locals", and even hates Chinese tourists who come to New Zealand more than those locals who hate foreigners extremely.
It seems that all the behaviors of Chinese people are so unqualified and so unsightly.
Because he was speaking in Mandarin, John couldn't understand what the man was saying. He just thought that Jiang Chen had met a fellow countryman, so he shrugged and gave the time to them.
can't afford me
Jiang Chen's expression was a little weird, and he didn't know what to say for a while. And Liu Yao covered her mouth lightly, turned her face sideways with a suppressed smile, and glanced at the man wearing sunglasses.
Seeing Liu Yao's face, Dai Zhengming held his breath for a moment.
Fuck, what a girl.
Although he has seen many beauties, this is the first time he has seen this level of beauties. Especially "that look back and smile", almost froze his little heart.
Of course, perhaps because of the dimming effect of the sunglasses, he couldn't read the mocking look in Liu Yao's eyes.
"Zhengming, they probably don't know English, why don't you help them out." The girl holding his arm blinked her big bright eyes, shaking his arm coquettishly.
Judging by his looks, he should be considered to be above average. Judging by his age, he should be studying at a university, and he should be an international student studying in Auckland. The man is about thirty years old, not old, but he is definitely not as young as Jiang Chen.
"It's true." Dai Zhengming sighed, and approached Jiang Chen.
Although he looked down on that vulture, he still had to maintain his demeanor in front of beautiful women.
"My name is Dai Zhengming."
"My name is Jiang Jianguo." Originally, he was going to say his name, but seeing that Dai Zhengming seemed to have something to say on his face, Jiang Chen temporarily changed his words and said his father's name.
Liu Yao held back her laughter. He just gave the mischievous Jiang Chen a charming look.
"In New Zealand, occupying public resources for a long time is a very immoral thing. I don't know if anyone taught you this when you were in China. But when you go abroad, it's better to give your motherland more face. "
"Compared to taking up public resources. I'd rather call it a consulting business, let alone less than three minutes." Looking at his serious look, Jiang Chen couldn't help "arguing".
Dai Zhengming interrupted Jiang Chen very "politely" and spoke in an educational tone.
"However, there are still people queuing behind you, isn't it? Let me give you a very popular example. It is one of the things that I have felt deeply in these years of living in New Zealand. I once saw a Chinese aunt with her grandson in a cafe. To order food, they occupied the cash register for a long time, and then finally ordered a mocha sandwich and a children's meal."
Uh, does this count as swearing at Sang Huai?
Jiang Chen deliberately glanced behind him. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people queuing up here except for them
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen asked a little confused.
"It's quality." Dai Zhengming looked into Jiang Chen's eyes seriously and said solemnly.
"You mean that aunt with the child took up the queue time of everyone behind?" Jiang Chen asked with a strange expression.
Fuck, you remember such trivial things, and you still feel deeply, you are really superb.
"That's right. If you want to order food, please think about what you want before queuing, otherwise don't take up the cashier's seat, which will cause trouble for other people who are preparing to order."
"Okay, I admit that it's a very immature thing to occupy the latrine." Jiang Chen spread his hands.
"And you are doing such a thing now." Dai Zhengming made a serious face, "and pay attention to your words. You represent the image of the country behind you. Please don't hang this word on your lips. Use it with strangers. There are insulting words, and if this were in the US, you could face prosecution."
The expression on Jiang Chen's face was indescribably weird.
Unfortunately, he really knew a crooked nut who talked about it every day. Roberts, far away in Los Angeles, sneezed. Woke up the sleeping Hollywood chick next to her.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Dai Zhengming thought he was ashamed and had nothing to say, so he continued.
"Even if you have a little money. Please don't take those unqualified behaviors out of the country."
"Correct me, I'm not a bit rich." Jiang Chen corrected slightly embarrassed.
"Then pay more attention to quality. Otherwise, it will make people think that you have neither money nor quality." A look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and Dai Zhengming educated on the line.
After saying that, he then turned to Liu Yao in a gentlemanly manner, and took out his business card from his pocket.
"Beautiful lady, this is my business card. I have a bungalow in the city of Auckland. I am currently working in the Auckland branch of Microsoft as the chief engineer of information technology in the New Zealand division. I am quite familiar with the generation around me. If you are interested , you can find me according to the address on the business card, I will be happy to show you the beauty of New Zealand."
After finishing speaking, Dai Zhengming didn't care about Liu Yao's reaction, and only left her with a smile that he thought was more "charming" and a "handsome" back.
Bypassing Jiang Chen, he spoke a few words with John in a British accent that was more standard than the British, and then swiped his card.
Seeing him striding towards the direction of the yacht, and the girl holding his hand in admiration, Jiang Chen had an indescribably strange expression on his face.
"Husband~ You've been underestimated." Liu Yao walked to Jiang Chen's side with a smile, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly.
"It seems, yes." Jiang Chen said helplessly.
"Do you need me to cooperate with you in slapping the face?" Liu Yao said bluntly, her bright eyes flickering, her red lips curled into an arc.
"Forget it, didn't he say it all? Don't embarrass the people of the country in front of Wai Guoren." Jiang Chen teased.
Liu Yao burst out laughing, pursing the corners of her mouth.
"I didn't expect you to be more humorous." Liu Yao said with a smile as she casually threw the business card into the trash can.
"No, I'm serious." Although he said so. But there was no serious expression on Jiang Chen's face.
Think about it carefully, that pseudo-public intellectual surnamed Dai. It seems that he joined his team quietly. However, Jiang Chen wasn't as interested in being fussy as he was, and he was still modest for a few minutes.
"What were you talking about just now?" John didn't mind that Jiang Chen left him aside just now. Instead asked curiously.
"It's nothing but homework."
"Indeed, if you meet a fellow countryman in a different place, you have to have a chat. But if you are in Auckland, you should have a lot of opportunities to meet fellow countrymen." John said with a smile.
"Really? Speaking of which, what do you think of the Chinese in Auckland?" After swiping his card, Jiang Chen signed the receipt and asked casually at the same time.
"The dishes you cook are delicious. I like Chinese food very much, but it's a bit expensive." John smiled.
"Is there nothing else?"
"Nothing else." John shrugged.
Under Jiang Chen's insistence. John didn't try to persuade him anymore, but told him to pay attention to safety and go into the water accompanied by the captain.
The rent of a yacht is not cheap. The cheapest one here costs more than 2,000 New Zealand dollars for a day, which is almost equivalent to more than 8,000 RMB. It is more economical to rent by the hour, but except for that kind of boat, yachts equipped with living spaces generally do not provide short-term rentals.
In view of the rare opportunity, renting a small boat to go out to sea is really not fun, so the rich and self-willed Jiang Chen directly picked a boat that is more than ten meters long. A medium-sized catamaran yacht including the living room and aft cabin, and readily paid 8,000 New Zealand dollars a day for rent.
"Speaking of which, when New Zealanders come to rent a boat, do they just swipe their card to get on the boat without saying a word?" Jiang Chen asked casually after signing the lease agreement.
I was stunned. John didn't know why Jiang Chen asked this question. He shook his head and said, "Unless they are regular customers who are familiar with this area. New customers don't know the type and price of the boat, so they have to ask anyway."
"It's true." Jiang Chen smiled.
Stand on a plank nailed with boat stakes. Su Wen asked Dai Zhengming curiously.
"What did you say to that woman just now? I think you gave her something."
"It's nothing, it's just a business card. It's outside. Passing a business card is a habit, and it's polite." Dai Zhengming lied a little embarrassedly.
At this moment, Jiang Chen and Liu Yao walked towards them.
Seeing that beautiful woman still sweetly holding Jiang Chen's hand, Dai Zhengming frowned, but he didn't react further.
When passing by Dai Zhengming, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped as if remembering something.
"By the way, I heard that there is a habit of returning business cards in foreign countries, so I'll give you a business card too." Jiang Chen took out the business card, but hesitated for a moment, then handed it to his female companion, hehe He laughed, "I seldom go abroad, and I don't learn as much about Western culture as you, so I'll just learn from you and do well."
Seeing Jiang Chen handing his girlfriend Su Wen a business card, Dai Zhengming subconsciously frowned. But thinking that he seemed to have ignored him just now and handed the business card to the beautiful woman beside him, he swallowed back the accusations that came to his lips.
"Wenwen, you can accept it for me."
"oh oh."
Putting the business card into the little girl's hand, Jiang Chen smiled mischievously, then walked forward with Liu Yao without looking back.
"It's done, let's go now"
The white captain, who was fiddling with equipment in the small speedboat beside him, raised his head and grinned at Dai Zhengming.
"Well, let's go now. Wenwen, let's get on the boat, Wenwen." Seeing that Su Wen didn't respond, Dai Zhengming frowned slightly and turned his head.
Su Wen, who was holding the gold-stamped business card, stared wide-eyed, completely stunned.
"What's wrong?" Dai Zhengming asked in confusion.
Su Wen raised her head as if she had recovered, and looked at her boyfriend excitedly.
"Yes, it's Jiang Chen"
"Which river is Jiangchen?" For a moment, Dai Zhengming was stunned.
Jiang Chen is the chairman of Future Human Technology, but isn't his name Jiang Jianguo?
Snatching the business card from his girlfriend's hand, Dai Zhengming's eyes widened in disbelief, then he raised his head and looked not far away.
I saw the man who claimed to be "not a little rich" was standing on a luxurious catamaran yacht, smiling at him.
However, in Dai Zhengming's eyes, that hearty smile was so glaring.
It's like a thick sarcasm.
As soon as he thought of how he had been preaching endlessly as if he had never seen the world before, a sense of embarrassment surged into his heart. His face was swollen to a liver color, and he really wanted to find a crack on the ground to get in.
Especially when he saw the female ticket next to him, who was looking enviously at the luxury yacht, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
"Will you get on the boat or not, can I start the timer?"
Seeing that the two of them hadn't moved for a long time, the captain leaning on the side of the speedboat couldn't help yawning and couldn't help complaining.
Hearing the captain complaining to him, Dai Zhengming immediately came back to his senses, and said something to the white-skinned captain embarrassedly, and then quietly pulled his envious girl onto the speedboat.
Standing on the deck of the yacht, Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the pier gradually going away.
"You really have a bad taste. But that person's face is really disgusting. It's really relieved to see him slumped." Liu Yao took his arm and said with a smile.
"I just smiled at him, but I think he will make up his own laughter, which saves me from wasting my expression." Jiang Chen spread his hands innocently and teased.
Putting this episode behind him, Jiang Chen turned his gaze into the distance.
Looking at the fine waves where the sea and the sky meet, feeling the sea breeze blowing across the cheeks, I always feel that the impetuousness in my heart at this moment has calmed down quietly.
Just as he was in a daze for a moment, the EP light on his arm flickered undetectably.
It seemed to indicate that something unusual was about to happen. To be continued. .
ps: This chapter is close to 5000, co-authoring the previous chapter is considered a small explosion. The big explosion above the fifth watch can only wait for my holiday next month. I'm really sorry that I have always guaranteed two updates. academic alexander tt
