My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 727 If God says so, then so be it.

Liang Jiahui used to grin like that, revealing a set of white teeth and an unparalleled elegance.

He had already charmed the country girl so much that she was willing to go anywhere with him!

It's really not about asking Wei Dong to slander future Olympic champions, it's just that simple.

Li Yue'e was not yet seventeen years old and was a waitress at the island's beach amusement area.

In fact, based on Qin Yuye's experience following her brother, Qin Zhiming was already in the yacht rental business in the 1960s, which at that time only targeted the rich.

But by the 1970s, when he started his farm stay on a deserted island in Saigon, he had already begun targeting the middle class.

It wasn't until the 1980s that family camping and barbecues at the beach became a popular trend in Hong Kong, roughly the same time it felt like the sudden explosion of private cars and the rise of self-driving tours in mainland China more than 20 years later.

However, Hong Kong is divided into more than 200 islands, 30 of which are larger than one square kilometer.

The population density is very high, so the cost of owning a car is high, and self-driving tours are not the mainstream. In such a small area, even if you have a car, there are not many scenic spots to visit, and there are not even many roads.

The vast majority of citizens still prefer various sports such as mountain climbing and swimming.

Therefore, the major islands surrounding Hong Kong Island have become popular destinations for Hong Kong residents to enjoy outings and take photos.

Wei Dong could clearly sense that the general public in Hong Kong was starting to travel to various parts of Southeast Asia, and he could often see various tourism slogans for Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand hanging up.

It was two or three decades earlier than in mainland China.

So, after making arrangements for my trip to Yuezhou early in the morning, I boarded a high-speed yacht that I had borrowed from Lao Heng's company at the dock next to the basketball court.

This is actually a common scene for Hong Kong citizens.

Most ordinary citizens simply take the ferry between the islands, which takes several hours at a leisurely pace.

This high-speed yacht, equipped with four engines, can reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour, roughly equivalent to driving a supercar on the road.

It would be most suitable to cross the 60-70 kilometers of sea outside the Pearl River Estuary to Makan.

Qin Yuye maintained a relatively stable speed of around 70-80 kilometers per hour, but because she was carrying a baby who kept exclaiming "Holy crap!", Wei Dong asked her to slow down even more.

Liang Jiahui finally noticed the two boys he had never seen before, who were sitting silently in the corner of the yacht.

One nervously gripped the handle beside him and looked around, while the other sat calmly in meditation, as still as a mountain.

The contrast is huge.

But the most nervous one was Shen Laosan, who squeezed himself between Rang Weidong and the seat, just like Fengchu who sat in the front of Rang Weidong's truck back then.

However, she really seemed to be trembling, which made Wei Dong yell at the captain.

This led Liang Jiahui, who enjoys observing things, to speculate about which one the boss actually liked.

But it was indeed fast. In less than twenty minutes, it overtook several boats, including speedboats with police markings, and arrived at a small island more than ten kilometers away.

It is very small and shaped like a dog, so there are two "C"-shaped beaches in front of and behind the slender "dog neck".

The long beach is absolutely beautiful. The entire island's residential villages are concentrated on this dog's neck, with small hills forming the dog's head and body on both sides.

Because the dog's back faces another large island, this side of the beach is a natural harbor, filled with all kinds of fishing boats and yachts. The other side naturally has bigger waves, making it a great place for recreation, surfing, and boating.

The yacht slowed down and circled Dog Island, which is two kilometers wide. Qin Yuye gave an introduction, then plunged into the harbor, docked, dropped anchor, removed the keys, and disembarked.

It's really no different from driving a car.

Wei Dong then gestured to Mao'er to bring up a camera that could play back the footage.

Actually, my attention had already shifted to the streetscape with its island vibe: "This looks delicious, but let's not rush, the kid wants to eat it!"

"I think you just want some, so I want some too!"

"Let's just have some dim sum first, then go look for it. There's no rush."

Liang Jiahui, who was almost thirty, remembered his mission and said he would go first and wait for them to come over.

The agreed-upon location was the seaside amusement park, which was supposedly owned by Li Yue'e's family.

So, as the family dawdled around, Qin Yuye, who genuinely enjoyed the fun, and these country bumpkins, lacking worldly experience, lingered for a while before asking around for directions.

The eager country girl had already packed her things and stood shyly next to the handsome young man, not daring to look at Liang Jiahui!

Leung Ka-fai isn't actually very famous. He has only made four or five films to date, not counting cameo appearances in some TV dramas. However, his first two films were in mainland China where he co-starred with Grandma Ching as the male lead, and he won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor.

Then he was quickly blacklisted for two or three years. Last year, the same director who inspired him asked him to make a movie, but it was hardly released.

So he charmed the country girl purely because of his good looks, not his fame.

Qin Yuye immediately burst into laughter, leaning against the wall, as if she were always laughing and joking around Wei Dong.

Shen Cuiyue frowned and looked at this country girl, wondering how simple-minded she was.

Of course, apart from Qin Yuye and Liang Jiahui, none of them could communicate with the villagers.

Wei Dong should quickly set up the camera and show the country girl and her family the invitation from Brother Chow.

It is common knowledge that videos cannot be faked, so the family never thought of keeping the videotape as evidence and let sixteen-and-a-half-year-old Li Yue'e go.

Living in such a big rural area, it's time to go out and find work. Brother Fa is his age, and he's already been doing street work in Kowloon for several years.

So, the future brand sister, now tanned dark, was taken away by Wei Dong and his group for free.

She asked Wei Dong, Liang Jia Hui, Mao Er, and Shi Tou to help her carry the sailboards.

On the way, Qin Yuye could only explain the whole story to Li Yue'e while driving the boat, because whenever Liang Jiahui spoke to her, the girl would blush, and she would jump off the speeding boat without hesitation!

"It's very simple. We'll send you to the HK Aquatic Centre for formal training, hire coaches to mentor you, and try our best to send you abroad to participate in world competitions to gain experience. The only requirement is that you sign a contract to work as an employee at our Seaside Sports City. You'll have a base salary of 2,000 yuan per month, and your salary will increase based on your performance, with no upper limit. During the 20-year contract period, the prize money from competitions and advertising revenue will be yours."

Li Yue'e: Mmm, where should I put my handprint?
In the film and television industry, a common practice is the "indentured servitude" contract, where the money spent on training is the investment for making big money later.

You can say any amount.

Andy Lau's TVB contract was for eight years, and it wasn't uncommon for others like Ting Fung to have contracts of ten or twenty years.

That's how capitalist societies are, especially Hong Kong, which is also mixed with feudal colonial culture—they do whatever is in the best interest of the bigwigs.

They just wanted Wei Dong to forgo the small share of the profits later, and only wanted the reputation, ensuring that, at least during the competitive season, it would forever belong to Dong Sheng Sports Culture Company under the Haibin Sports City…

What he wants are these sports-related business cards.

They also hope to seize the opportunity to intervene as early as possible to ensure the genius gets on the right track.

As for why this girl is considered a genius, all she has to do is point to the sky, and everyone will feel immense admiration for our omnipotent motherland.

Besides, Wei Dong is no novice now.

I liked basketball for decades in my past life, but that was all I liked.

Since receiving over two hundred retired or injured players from various national teams after the 1984 Olympics, we have been receiving around one hundred players every year.

Therefore, Dongsheng Trading has a large number of national experts who are spread across various projects.

By having Wei Dong frequently interact with these former national team players to familiarize himself with the situation, he was able to draw a conclusion.

It's that overused saying: all effort is worthless in the face of talent.

Top experts must all be exceptionally talented; they can never be useless individuals who succeed through hard work.

At their level, talent is already a basic requirement; on top of that, it's about effort, luck, and guidance from renowned teachers.

The reverse logic is that if Li Yue'e could win an Olympic gold medal, then her talent is top-notch, and the rest is due to scientific training and her own hard work and dedication.

Given Wei Dong's current financial resources and connections, he doesn't think Li Yue'e's original trajectory would be better than his own arrangement. In fact, she might even be affected by the impact of the sports city on the entire Hong Kong.

So we decided to find them and nurture them carefully.

Even the initial basic salary of only HK$2,000 was the result of repeated discussions, so as not to let the child lose the sense of hunger from the beginning.

Even though several guys who aren't much older than him all think it's necessary to do this.

Especially Leung Ka-fai, who had been poor for several years.

But now it seems that the variable lies with Leung Ka-fai.

Wei Dong and the others held back their laughter the whole time. They all burst into laughter when they saw Li Yue'e turn around and glance at the handsome guy, and immediately stare blankly like a frightened rabbit.

Liang Jiahui, on the contrary, stopped his cheeky and irreverent behavior and sat down seriously to discuss with Rang Weidong: "I don't think we can be too harsh on a child's feelings. I'll bring my girlfriend to meet her later, and you guys can give her some encouragement, that should be enough. It's just that she's confused during puberty, and she's never seen a guy as handsome as me before..."

Li Mei doesn't understand Mandarin, but she shyly pricks up her ears, as long as it's a handsome guy speaking.

Qin Yuye laughed heartily, looking down on her husband: "Look at you, you should learn from Brother Hui how to treat women well!"

Leung Ka-fai proudly said, "The magazine I run is a girls' magazine, but unfortunately no one has recognized its value. I've always felt a special connection with girls since I was a child!"

Shen Cuiyue listened with utter disgust: "You scoundrel! You're the kind of scoundrel who should be shot!"

Leung Ka-fai exclaimed in surprise, "Am I really that handsome?"

He was still being narcissistic, which made Wei Dong turn away with disdain and snort, "I don't want to be with someone so handsome!"

This is a creature that even Little Butterfly drools over.

So when Li Yue'e was brought back to the calm and peaceful basketball court, the girl didn't feel that she couldn't train there at all; she was fine with anything.

I followed around doing chores, envious of the sports brand sales assistants behind the counters, and ashamed of my own dark complexion.

Qin Yuye commented that if she really achieves success in the future, she will definitely be the best spokesperson for sunscreen.

So start applying whitening products now.

Once back at the villa on the mountaintop, this girl couldn't wait to switch jobs and become a Filipino maid.

They finally managed to persuade me to stay here temporarily, saying that they would discuss the details with the HK Aquatic Centre. In the end, they would decide whether to set up a special training area for me or have me stay there as a "training princess." Anyway, I can focus on training and competing from now on and live like a white-collar worker in the city.

It wasn't until after the event, when they went out for a late-night snack, that Qin Yuye realized, "Huh, none of us have seen her windsurfing?"

Wei Dong silently pointed to the sky, and then there was nothing more to say.
