158 Cruises
Jin Zhan's kindness to Lin Xiaozhi would be frightening if his touters saw it.
However, Lin Xiaozhi didn't think there was anything wrong with Jin Zhan's cordial gesture, because of his good intentions, Lin Xiaozhi would naturally not be as arrogant as the first time.
Both sides deliberately eased the atmosphere, and when they came down from the dock, the names of the two people changed from calling their names to "Brother Jin" and "Xiaozhi".
Stepping out of the car, Lin Xiaozhi looked up and saw a huge cruise ship at least seven stories high, and he sighed without sighing.
"This ship is so big, I don't know how many tens of millions it will take to buy it. ”
In the past, the poor boy couldn't imagine that one day he would be able to take this kind of giant ship, and usually this kind of cruise ship would not be open to ordinary people, even if he saw the leaflet, it would cost thousands of yuan to go to sea once, which was a lot of money for Lin Xiaozhi at that time.
Jin Zhan said with a smile on the side: "With Xiaozhi's ability, you will have the opportunity to buy the giant wheel in the future." ”
Lin Xiaozhi thought that he was no longer the poor boy he used to be, and he couldn't help but smirk.
If it is Lin Xiaozhi now, he can indeed afford to buy a cruise ship, and the follow-up maintenance costs are more than enough, so there is no need to worry about being able to afford it.
The two were being led in the direction of the cruise ship, but Lin Xiaozhi was called out.
"Xiaozhi!"
Lin Xiaozhi turned his head to look, and Yu Siman in an evening dress didn't know where he came out.
She looked enthusiastic and generous in a bright red evening dress, her half-exposed shoulders were as white as jade, and she walked to Lin Xiaozhi's side with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Xiaozhi wondered.
Yu Siman directly grabbed Lin Xiaozhi's arm, and Yu Siman, who was wearing high heels, happened to Lin Xiaozhi's nose.
She seems to have dressed up carefully today, Lin Xiaozhi can smell a different perfume smell from the end of her nose, and today's smell is more in line with Yu Siman's charming dress.
"I'm going to accompany you on the giant ship. ”
Yu Siman exhaled like an orchid, and usually always had a cold expression, but at this moment, Lin Xiaozhi understood what it meant to be flattering and silky.
If this continues, Lin Xiaozhi is afraid that he will not set up a tent in public, so in order not to make a fool of himself, Lin Xiaozhi swept the environment of the dock and left Yu Siman beside him.
He walked over to a middle-aged man in ragged clothes.
There were people on the docks, not all of them who came to join the cruise today, but also some who obviously seemed to be out to make a living.
Lin Xiaozhi was standing in front of the man who was also one of the people who begged for a living, and there were several Chinese paintings in front of him, and there were also a few volumes on the side.
The black-and-white ink-splashed landscape painting has a bit of artistic conception, and Lin Xiaozhi came over to stand and look down.
Yu Siman walked over to Lin Xiaozhi's side, without any interest in the down-and-out middle-aged man.
"You can see this kind of person, what's there to see?"
This kind of people selling paintings can indeed be seen everywhere, and Yu Siman can't see what Lin Xiaozhi cares about.
The whistle of the cruise ship sounded in shock, and the entire pier was enveloped by this sound.
Jin Zhan shouted in the distance: "Xiao Zhi, it's time to sail." ”
Lin Xiaozhi shook his head at Yu Siman and said, "When I think of the time when I was down before, I was similar to this person. ”
He sighed a little, took out his wallet, wrote a check to the painting seller, and said.
"Take this money to live a good life, it is my funding for you, paint well, you can do it." ”
Yu Siman didn't understand why Lin Xiaozhi's whim, but he didn't stop him, just watched quietly from the sidelines.
Lin Xiaozhi handed the check to the painting seller, and the other party took it and said, "Please ask the name of the gentleman, I will also repay you in the future." ”
Lin Xiaozhi waved his hand and didn't say his name, and Yu Siman interjected at this time: "His name is Lin Xiaozhi." ”
The painter nodded, chewing Lin Xiaozhi's name in his mouth, as if he wanted to keep it in his heart.
Lin Xiaozhi glanced at Yu Siman helplessly, and the two left for the boarding gate.
The painting seller clenched the check behind his back and watched Lin Xiaozhi leave gratefully.
He is a down-and-out painter, although he is always praised for his good paintings, but he has never been recognized by the art world.
That's why he is down to the present, and has been setting up stalls outside for a living.
Unexpectedly, he met Lin Xiaozhi today, and his originally dead heart was also a little alive.
Originally, I was just painting mechanically and entertaining myself.
Now with Lin Xiaozhi's support, he doesn't have to paint things he doesn't like in order to make a living, and he can continue to study his painting skills.
If he succeeds in the future, Lin Xiaozhi will be his great benefactor.
Lin Xiaozhi, who was far away, naturally didn't know how enthusiastic a middle-aged man would become.
He was just on a whim, and it was also to avoid Yu Siman's unbearable charm.
The three of them boarded the cruise ship, and there was a pass for Jin Zhan, even if Lin Xiaozhi and Yu Siman were not on the passenger list, no one came to check the tickets, but instead issued them a pass, so that they could move around on the ship at will.
Confirm the room first on the boat, Jin Zhan originally planned to invite Lin Xiaozhi alone, but Yu Siman came, so he naturally had to arrange it.
It was only when Lin Xiaozhi opened the door that he found that the guide had arranged him and Yu Siman in the same VIP room.
This is Jin Zhan's overture, although Lin Xiaozhi understands, he is also a little crying and laughing.
"This VIP has the best view, I let people settle it early, just for the two of you. ”
Jin Zhan showed arrogance to outsiders on the side, but Lin Xiaozhi shook his head and explained.
"Sister Siman is not my girlfriend, and it is not suitable for the two of us to live in the same room. ”
Seeing that his kind arrangement embarrassed the two, Jin Zhan had to ask the waiter to take Yu Siman to the VIP next door.
Fortunately, Jin Zhan has chartered several rooms, and it can be arranged again.
Yu Siman's new room happened to be next to Lin Xiaozhi, and on the other side of Lin Xiaozhi was Jin Zhan's room.
After recognizing the way, the time spent waiting for the boat to start was noon, and the three of them went to eat together.
The ship's restaurant is on the mezzanine level, and the entire floor is filled with restaurants.
Lin Xiaozhi made a rough calculation in his heart, this ship is conservatively estimated to have a passenger flow of thousands of people, and an entire floor is estimated to be not enough as a restaurant.
After asking Jin Zhan, I found out that there is another floor below the restaurant on this floor, which is closer to the ground floor, and it is convenient for the people below to come up to eat.
This cruise ship even has an elevator, and there is no need to go down the ramp layer by layer, Lin Xiaozhi and the three of them took the elevator directly to the dining room.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Xiaozhi was surprised to find that it was very wide as far as the eye could see, and the number of columns was pitiful.
Although I already knew that the whole floor was a restaurant, I thought it would be made into several small restaurants, but I didn't expect it to be completely let go, and at this moment, I feel high-end and extravagant.
