Chapter 455: The New Guest
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The new guest will also bring a suitcase sponsored by XXX. What kind of supplies would they bring?”
“The team has prepared a night of celebration for everyone after escaping the deserted island. It’s the most luxurious place with bedrooms that you haven’t seen in a long time, and a gourmet feast. Please don’t be discouraged and continue to work hard!”
After the announcement, the drone stopped making any noise and continued to act as a camera, hovering around them.
“As expected,” Lu Shang said. “CEO Pei is here, so it’ll definitely be a female guest.”
Nan Miaomiao opened her eyes and looked at him. “I hope it’s a pretty girl-” Lu Shang: .
Jiang Cuiqin smiled bitterly. “I just hope that her culinary skills are good.”
Wang Yi said, “one more person means more labor force.”
“Yes,” Xiao Ken said. “It doesn’t matter what she looks like. It is more important that she is willing to work.”
“Sonya, what kind of guest do you want to see?”
“Sonya?”
It was only when Nan Miaomiao called out to Sonya for the second time that Sonya snapped back to reality.
“I…” Sonya said, “…don’t really have an opinion.”
Nan Miaomiao felt that she was acting a little weird. She wondered if it was because she had been neglecting her recently.
Su Ji put away the toolbox unhurriedly. Her tone was relaxed but piercing. “Were you looking at CEO Pei’s tent just now?” Pei Huai also looked at Sonya.
Sonya’s palms sweated almost instantly. “Tent?”
She put on her best acting skills and looked in the direction of the tent. “I’m looking at the wood that you’ve collected. I thought that you’ve saved a lot these days. We should be able to start building ships, right?”
Su Ji’s lips curled up. “That’s what I thought. We are planning to build a ship today. There’s a volcano on the island, so we have to speed up and get out as soon as possible.”
Sonya pursed her lips. “Yeah…”
After breakfast, everyone started working.
They did not want to stay in this place for another day.
The men began to shape the wood while Su Ji drew the hull design on the beach.
It was her improved version.
The wood collected so far could be used to make the frame at the bottom of the ship, so they could already start work. However, Su Ji still wanted to confirm if there was a better design. Her current blueprint could accommodate 12 people, including the new guest who was arriving at noon.
However, she needed a lot of wood. The amount they had collected so far was only about one-eighth of the total amount needed.
It was a large project, and the time required would also be longer.
Pei Huai stood next to Su Ji and looked at the huge drawing on the ground.
The drone hovered above them.
[ “Su Ji: I’m being monitored by the boss.” ]
[ “Su Ji: The boss is spying on me. I need to hurry!” ]
In the end, perhaps it was the power of the chat or Pei Huai’s burning gaze, Su Ji finally realized it. She squatted on the ground and looked at him with a frown. “You think there’s a problem?”
“No,” Pei Huai replied almost instantly.
[ “Why do I feel like CEO Pei sounds a little scared when he answers?
Hahahaha!” ]
[ “Don’t be a coward, CEO Pei. You’re the boss!” ]
Su Ji retracted her gaze and continued to look at her blueprint.
Pei Huai had already discovered the problem. His girlfriend’s blueprint was perfect, but the reason why it required a large amount of wood was mainly because of the way the wood was laid out.
However, he glanced at the drone that was haunting him. He was afraid that his girlfriend would feel embarrassed if he pointed it out to her face, but he really wanted to help her.
He coughed lightly and reminded her tactfully, “the pattern on the deck is very beautiful.” “Oh, as long as you like it.”
Pei Huai: ‘
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, “it’s…a little too neat…it might be more beautiful if it could be interlaced…”
“Don’t you have OCD? You don’t like it neat?”
“Sometimes, there’s beauty in interlacing too…”
“Interlace…’
The dots in Su Ji’s mind suddenly connected, and a lightbulb lit up!
She snapped her fingers. “I know!”
So this was the problem!
If the wood was spread out and staggered, it could make full use of different lengths of wood and avoid cutting, so the total amount of wood needed to be used would be greatly reduced.
Su Ji quickly modified the design.
Wang Yi came over to take a look and asked Su Ji why she changed it like this. Su Ji explained the secret behind it. Wang Yi touched his eyebrows. “A very clever method.”
[ “Wow! Su Ji is too awesome!” ]
[ “So professional! Awesome!” ]
Pei Huai put one hand into his trousers pocket and turned to leave.. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, hiding his achievement.
After the final design was confirmed, the next step was to work hard! Jiang Cuiqin led the women to process the vine fibers and hemp rope.
It was used to tie up the wood.
She gave all the women a pair of gloves. While pursuing efficiency, she also had to protect her delicate hands. She was indeed exquisite.
The men’s job was to tie up the wood and build it under Su Ji’s command. Casar seemed to have thought of something. He asked Su Ji, “girl, Pei Huai,
he….”
“He hasn’t recovered yet. He can’t do it.”
However, before Casar could finish his sentence, Su Ji already refused.
Casar was speechless.
He just wanted to ask how the kid was recovering…
Why did she have to shut him up like that?
With teamwork, the progress was very fast.
In just one morning, the basic structure could be seen.
Sonya rubbed the hemp rope and became more and more nervous.
The faster they left the island, the faster the evidence would be sent to the police.
She had to think of a way…
Nan Miaomiao couldn’t help but send a long message to Director Duan on WeChat in the morning.
Now that she finally received a reply, she placed her phone on her lap and looked at it while rubbing the hemp rope.
Duan Shengquan replied with a long comforting message. After Nan Miaomiao finished reading it, her angry expression gradually eased. She turned to Sonya and said, “Sonya, Director Duan said that Second Master Pei also talked to him. He even suggested that the production team pay special attention to the women’s needs.”
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Sonya. “Seeing that you’ve suffered so much on the island, someone is anxious…”
Sonya recalled the short exchange in the text message and her heart beat faster. “It might not be for me. I think it’s more likely for Su Ji…”
“How is that possible?” Nan Miaomiao was very sure. “CEO Pei is taking care of my roommate. It must be for you.”
Sonya didn’t say anything else because she couldn’t think of a second reason.
Then, at this moment, a helicopter landed not far away, causing a gust of wind. The new guest had arrived..
