Sailing on open water is always boring, and sometimes there is no one but ships in the same formation within a few dozen nautical miles - provided that ships in the same formation can be spotted.

The sea conditions in the North Sea are not particularly calm even in summer, and the sea breeze is still cold, so it is unlikely that you can do anything outside, and everything has to be done inside.

On the morning of the voyage, the daughters get together for study meetings, after a nap they practice dancing or other sports, and in the evening, they do leisure activities that they enjoy or that help their main business, such as playing the piano or watching movies.

The evening's event was the epee competition.

The ship's games room has a full set of fencing equipment, ready to use.

Before buying the relevant equipment for Polly and Sally, Lin Yilong had always thought that fencing sports were based on the sensors on the protective clothing or the referee's definition, but he didn't know how this sensor defined the action of the stabbing and ordinary protective clothing - as a result, the fencing electronic referee was judged by the stab through the spring trigger of the player's sword.

Epee is always dominated by tall and long-legged people, Tanya and Natasha's fencing has been abandoned for a year, and it is more difficult to pick it up, while the other daughters are busy practicing dance, but the hobby has not been abandoned. Now it's a game where the outcome is unknown, and it's hard to predict until the result is revealed.

Lin Yilong has never learned fencing, let alone fencing or anything like that, his understanding of hand-to-hand combat is, "we rush to the top." Having said that, even if it is a hand-to-hand combat with only physical strength, among so many people in the family, Lin Yilong feels that the only one who wins is Katie; the big and small Yeon are tall and have excellent endurance; the ballet dancers seem to be slim, but the strength of the core muscle groups makes Lin Yilong embarrassed; only Katie likes some very casual sports such as cricket, and her weight is not as heavy as Lin Yilong, so Lin Yilong consciously wins.

The difference in physical and skill level made Lin Yilong consciously do the referee side and volunteered to serve as a referee.

Then when he arrived at the referee's seat, Lin Yilong found that he couldn't even be a referee, he was the only one in the family who didn't know any French, and the language of the fencing competition happened to be French, so he had to give way to Katie and sit in the audience.

When the audience Lin Yilong couldn't understand it, he could only feel that the process of the daughters' competition was very fierce according to Amy's description, only that in the end, it was his youngest daughter Su Yeon who defeated her sister Seli to win the championship.

Su Yeon's final opponent, Lin Yilong, the only one who didn't play, put on protective gear and prepared to face off against his daughter.

Su Yan first tried to attack, but before she could officially approach, Lin Yilong cut off the foil with a very large force, although the violation was still touched on the upper arm, Lin Yilong scored the first point of the violation.

However, this is also Lin Yilong's only score in the duel with Su Yan, who was cut off the sword body and found that it was pointless to test his father, who had never learned foil, after changing a sword, agility and speed were far inferior to himself, so he didn't think about anything and directly "ended" the game.

Lin Yilong was stabbed very badly, and in the remaining 14 swords, his lower abdomen, arm and back were stabbed many times. According to Katie Entertainment, if Lin Yilong and Su Yan had a life-and-death duel, Lin Yilong would have lost his ability to resist (piercing his upper arm) when he was in the third sword, he was dying in the fifth sword, and he was completely complete in the seventh sword, and Su Yan's attack in the back made others unbearable to continue watching.

Lin Yilong, who was physically and mentally traumatized, went to the aft terrace to drink coffee, while Gabriella chatted with another waitress, Dresie.

Dresy is a young woman from Catalonia, who is no less beautiful than Gabriella. She has no ambition to conquer the stage or the catwalk, and works on ships only because of the high income.

That's right, it's a high income.

The "Tavi" has almost 8 maids and a foremaid, and the monthly salary of the foremaid is about 8,000 euros [note: almost 6,500+ in 2019, and it will be about 8,000 in 2031 when inflation is in the side story], while the income of ordinary waitresses is about 3,500 euros, and the daily work is much easier than that of cafes and restaurants where waitresses are also served on shore, and there are four months of rest every year.

In the port of Hercules, there are professional agents who specialize in recommending employees for luxury yachts, and Lin Yilong's employees are all introduced by brokers, except for the captain and chief engineer. After hearing that the single middle-aged Asian is a 114.5-meter yacht, the waitresses recommended by the agent are all young women with good faces.

Almost every waitress had some unrealistic fantasies about Lin Yilong when they got on the ship before. However, in this industry, the shipowner is the shipowner, and the waitress is the waitress, and it is difficult to see the waitress complete the leap like "carp jumping over the dragon gate". The relative cramped space makes it difficult to keep this kind of thing secret, what happens to the waitresses and the owners or guests, and they don't "get ashore" and can't hold their heads up in front of the other seafarers.

So it makes sense that a sensible waitress wouldn't want anything to happen to the shipowner.

Gabriella and Drese spoke Spanish, which Lin Yilong couldn't understand at all, and the two quickly greeted Lin Yilong when they noticed his arrival, and then prepared to leave.

But Gabriella was left by Lin Yilong to chat.

"I heard that Amy and you have some misunderstandings?" Lin Yilong asked, "Amy told me that if you are willing to go back to fulfill the contract, you will not be held responsible." ”

"Mr. Lin, I just don't really want to be in your ..... Girlfriend continues to work there. ”

"Did you know that Amy actually graduated from classical dance?" Lin Yilong asked, "Although she can't get to the point of 'hands and eyes' in London's entertainment industry, she also knows the specific process of stardom." ”

"Of course I know, but ......," Gabriella said bitterly in front of Lin Yilong, "Your girlfriend wants me to sign a 15-year brokerage contract, which I can't agree." ”

"But if you don't have this 15-year brokerage contract, then which brokerage company is engaged in charity?" Lin Yilong advised, "I don't think the income clause of that contract is unfair." ”

"Is it fair to divide seven-threes?" asked Gabriella.

"So, Gabriella, wouldn't it be a pity to spend 10 years working on a ship to pay off Amy's debts, and throw your best 10 years of youth at sea?" Lin Yilong smiled, "Sometimes, if someone helps you behind your back, it will get twice the result with half the effort." If it were anyone else, I don't think I would have had that chance, but since Gabriella is my employee, I can convince Amy to give you another chance. After all, it's ten years of time!
