Chapter 249: More and More People — Seven-Day Survival Tour on the Haunted Island
This office was quite ordinary.
When the middle-aged man manager also entered the office, he casually closed the door behind him.
Immediately afterwards, they heard him say:
"You have all won the first prize."
"The first prize is a seven-day trip to Macedonia Island in the Pacific Ocean."
"Let me first introduce this seven-day trip."
"For these seven days, the round-trip transportation costs, the hotel accommodation fees on Macedonia Island, the food expenses, and the activities available on Macedonia Island, such as diving and sea fishing, are all covered by us."
"Furthermore, this first prize, the seven-day trip, can accommodate up to four people."
"That means it's configured for a family of four, or friends, relatives, and so on. It's up to you, but it cannot exceed four people."
"Does everyone understand?" After saying all this.
The middle-aged man manager smiled as he scanned everyone in the office.
His words left everyone present utterly shocked.
Because everyone there had initially thought that this seven-day trip was just for the person who won the prize to go and have fun.
Only one person.
But they never expected it could be up to four people?
Is this still a typical unscrupulous domestic business?
At this moment, Xiao Hua's group was the most pleasantly surprised.
Because if it was for four people, their group happened to have exactly four people.
As for Xiao Peng's side, they only had three people and were short one person.
After finishing his speech, the middle-aged man manager continued, "Please add my contact information. We need to start preparing in the next couple of days. Matters like passports and visas will be handled by our shop. So, I hope you can quickly decide how many people are going and who is going."
Next, the people in the office chatted with the middle-aged man manager for over ten minutes.
They discussed the specific details.
When it was about enough.
They left.
Wangchuan Grain Pancakes shop.
After Xiao Hua's group of four came out, they left directly.
They had already started discussing the specific itinerary for their trip.
Watching the four members of Xiao Hua's group leave.
Xiao Peng's face darkened;
he suddenly felt that some shops being too conscientious wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Xiao Hua's four really got a great deal.
"By the way, Xiao Q and Xiao Peng, I won't be going on this seven-day trip. You two should take your girlfriends!"
The three of them had also left the vicinity of the pancake shop by now.
Just after leaving, Ke Bei said this.
Hearing this.
Xiao Peng immediately said, "How can that be? You were the one who won the first prize! If you don't go and only we go, we wouldn't feel right about it!"
"Besides, you overestimate me and Xiao Q. Where would we get girlfriends?"
Xiao Q was a perpetually single guy.
As for him, Xiao Peng, his ex-girlfriend Xiao Hua had found a new boyfriend.
His current girlfriend, Xiao Nuo, had died at the hands of the Dog Man.
He was currently in a single period.
Xiao Q also tried to persuade Ke Bei at this moment: "Yes, Ke Bei, come with us! Just treat it as going to relax! Think about it, an island! So beautiful, the air must be great! And most importantly, it's completely free!"
"We know you're still worried about your father's disappearance, but worrying won't solve the problem!"
"Don't forget, the three of us just narrowly escaped death, locked up by that Su Mi for so many days. This time, let's consider it as 'surviving a great disaster, sure to have good fortune later'! This is clearly a benefit given to us by heaven!"
"If you don't accept a benefit given by heaven, be careful that heaven gets angry and deliberately causes trouble for you, making everything go wrong!"
"Alright then... I'll go..."
Ke Bei was persuaded.
Mainly, he didn't want to disappoint the other two's goodwill.
Xiao Peng then said, "The maximum number is four people, and we only have three on our side. Should we bring one more person? Otherwise, it would be a waste, and wasting is shameful! Especially since what we'd be wasting isn't a small amount of money!"
Yes, how much would the total cost of the seven-day trip be per person?
So, we absolutely must bring one more person.
Ke Bei said, "I don't have anyone else to bring. You guys find someone!"
Xiao Peng scratched his head;
he had many friends.
But after the Xiao Nuo incident, among his friends, some had died, some were injured, and all were badly frightened.
He wasn't sure why, but he felt that his few surviving friends were intentionally or unintentionally isolating him.
He didn't understand at first, but later found out that those friends felt that the reason they encountered those events last time...
Was all because of Xiao Nuo.
And since he was Xiao Nuo's boyfriend, so...
"I don't have anyone I want to bring either..."
Xiao Peng shook his head, suddenly realizing that he seemed quite pitiful, with seemingly very few true friends.
Therefore, Xiao Peng and Ke Bei both looked at Xiao Q.
After careful consideration, Xiao Q said, "I originally wanted to bring my cousin, but my uncle would definitely not agree. In that case..."
"Oh, oh, right, that guy is returning to the country tomorrow! Let's bring him along!!!"
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Who? Your sweetheart from abroad?"
Xiao Q said speechlessly, "He's male."
"Hmm... you could say he's my childhood friend. We get along quite well."
"His father started doing business later and became successful."
"Then, his father sent him abroad to study in his first year of high school."
"Now, he's also in university."
"Of course, we've kept in touch all along."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Damn, those wretched rich second generation. Which country did he go to study in?"
Xiao Q: "If I remember correctly, it should be the UK!"
Xiao Peng said: "The UK? I heard the Chinese student circle in the UK is the most chaotic!"
Xiao Q said: "I'm just going to try asking him. If he doesn't want to come, then there's no other way. It'll just be the three of us! Or we can find someone else."
...
Alice Apartment.
"Oh, you're saying that if I go to this Macedonia Island in the Pacific Ocean to play for seven days, and after spending these seven days, when I return to Alice Apartment, the money I can get daily will increase to twenty thousand? And also, for the seven days spent on the island, I will still get ten thousand per day?"
Fang Xiao's home.
Fang Xiao was in the living room eating dog meat hot pot and drinking ice-cold beer.
The living room air conditioner was continuously blowing cold air.
The scalding heat of the dog meat hot pot entering his stomach, combined with the circulation of cold air.
It was like experiencing extreme heat and cold simultaneously, feeling absolutely fantastic.
At this moment, looking at the agreement document handed to him by a middle-aged man in a black suit sitting across the table, he glanced at it and voiced the doubt in his heart.
The middle-aged man in the black suit nodded: "Yes, that's correct."
"So, are you willing to sign this agreement?"
Fang Xiao smiled, asked the middle-aged man in the black suit for a pen,
and then immediately signed his name on the agreement.
After signing, he said with a smile, "Perfect, I felt that ten thousand a day wasn't enough to spend, but twenty thousand a day should be just about right."
The middle-aged man in the black suit took the signed agreement, looked at it, confirmed it was correct, and curled his lips into a slight smile.
Then, he asked Fang Xiao, "Fang Xiao, you signed so readily, aren't you going to ask more about other details?"
Fang Xiao shook his head: "No need. Just like when you first found me and we signed the first agreement, I only need to know the general idea and that I'll get money. As for what's hidden behind it all, I'm not concerned."
The middle-aged man in the black suit stood up, patted Fang Xiao on the shoulder:
"Then I wish you a pleasant seven-day trip to Macedonia Island in the Pacific Ocean."
With these words, he strode out of Fang Xiao's home.
Before he left, Fang Xiao asked, "Won't you stay and have some dog meat before you go?"
The middle-aged man in the black suit smiled slightly and shook his head: "No thanks, this dog might have eaten human flesh;
I couldn't stomach it."
