Chapter 326: Chapter 154 Have you prepared your swimsuit?

In early October, Wuzhizhou Island was cool at night.

However, that didn’t deter the energetic young men and women.

Postmodern university students have a notable characteristic—fragile and often ill in school; but once they go out to have fun, they become vibrant and seemingly invulnerable.

With a slight buzz from drinking, they began to form groups of three or five, walking around at night with bottles in hand.

But this did not include Gu Jiuyue.

She had acted as a half-time strategist for Gao and Er Gao, likely saying the most she had in her life, and had exhausted her last bit of energy within fifteen minutes.

It was just past 8 o’clock when Su Huai clearly saw the signs of fatigue on her face.

"Let’s go back and rest,"

Su Huai interceded proactively, insisting she step back, "Take a hot bath, and maybe a foot massage... Does the hotel have spa therapists?"

"Mm."

She neither played tough nor insisted, meekly nodding her head, only slightly correcting him, "No need for a therapist, Sister Lan is skilled at massage."

Okay, after many days, the nurse finally had a name.

Su Huai remembered Sister Lan’s prowess with knives and couldn’t imagine her giving Gu Jiuyue a massage, but he reckoned her salary must be very expensive.

Out of curiosity, he asked, and he didn’t need to be polite with Gu.

So, Su Huai inquired, "Your team members seem to be multi-talented, how much is their salary per month?"

"Monthly salary?"

Gu Jiuyue blinked, and after a second, she realized, "Oh, they are paid an annual salary."

Su Huai was speechless.

Goodness, I didn’t even earn a 20K monthly salary by the age of 35 last life, not as much as a personal nurse...

Annual salary and monthly salary represent two different pay structures that only have a conversion relationship, but are fundamentally different.

A monthly salary is calculated based on the number of workdays and attendance, paid monthly, while an annual salary is usually a fixed amount regardless of attendance plus various allowances, paid annually.

Simply put, in first-tier cities like Imperial Capital and Magic Capital, a monthly salary below 50K doesn’t make sense to convert to an annual salary; it would only make you look like you’re pretending to be richer than you are.

Many senior managers in big companies are paid a monthly salary, at most supplemented by annual performance bonuses and incentive terms.

Su Huai grew even more curious, "So how much money is needed for such a high-quality team?"

A look of difficulty appeared on Gu Jiuyue’s face.

It wasn’t that she wanted to keep it a secret from Su Huai, but she also didn’t know very well.

"I only know about Sister Lan’s approximate salary, the base is around 500,000, and the variable might be between 200,000 to 1,000,000? She was the last to join and seems to have the lowest salary in our house..."

Great, the lowest one, with an average annual salary of one million.

So, would it be reasonable to double that for a private doctor?

And wouldn’t 2 million for a state banquet-level chef be just as reasonable?

The team leader and personal bodyguard, and also a woman, Sister Wu? Su Huai couldn’t guess.

Anyway, this small team of four must cost more than 7 million a year, equivalent to a Rolls-Royce or the ultimate dream of men, a Lamborghini Bull.

Fellas, if you ever have the chance to run into such a wealthy lady, don’t fret over her looks, weight, or even age—get smart, okay?

Huai doesn’t need to; he hasn’t been tempted at all... Slurp!

"Alright, I’ve just realized that my academic goals for the year could barely cover the salaries for your team; it’s a bit of a blow."

Gou Dongxi looked aggrieved, as if he was maliciously feigning innocence in search of comfort.

Gu Jiuyue took the bait indeed, patting his hand proactively and tenderly, "It’s okay, I can share everything I have with you... By the way, how about letting Sister Lan give you a massage later?"

Gou Huai was intensely moved—an annual salary of a million for a masseur would put her at the top of any luxury foot massage establishment, right?

Sister Lan may not be attractive, but she certainly has strength!

Su Huai tried to make his nod appear dignified and then put on a reluctant attitude, "Is that convenient? My back does feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Convenient, convenient!"

Gu Jiuyue nodded happily, pleased to be able to help Su Huai.

"Then it’s settled... why don’t you come over to my place? I’ll have Sister Lan massage you first!"

Sister Lan: Eh, eh?

Half an hour later, Su Huai was already lying shirtless on the guest bedroom bed in Gu Jiuyue’s villa.

Gu sat on the sofa nearby, struggling to stay awake, chatting with Su Huai.

Sister Lan rubbed the essential oil into the palms of her hands expressionlessly and kindly warned, "Mr. Su, I’m heavy-handed, bear with it."

How heavy could it be?

Ouch, damn, that hurts!

The moment Sister Lan started, Gou Huai almost jumped up in pain.

This woman was skilled at manipulating muscles and tendons, her strength sinking deep into the muscles, way more intense than any top-rated masseur.

And she seemed to be emotional about it... well, scratch that, she was definitely emotional.

Uh, is it some kind of tough love for her young mistress?

Sister Lan occasionally looked at Gu Jiuyue with eyes that seemed to say: Su isn’t your husband yet, and you’re spoiling him like this, how will you manage later!

While holding a grudge, she took out the fascia gun...

Gou Huai was green with trepidation.

But experts truly are experts, after the pain, there actually was a sense of refreshing relaxation.

Limping back to his room, Su Huai slept extremely well.

The next morning upon waking up, the first thing to do, of course, was to look in the mirror, and then start pinching his face.

For his first time doing this, Su Huai didn’t rush and simply dealt with his wisdom teeth—shrink back in!

In his past life, he started having toothaches around the age of 25, four wisdom teeth, not one grew in straight, all of them laying inside pushing against the molars, damn painful.

One tooth pulled out per week, Su Huai was tormented for an entire month.

However, he wasn’t the unluckiest one, a colleague in the company had a tooth shattered into eight pieces, as if born with a Sacred Body that first bloomed from the tooth, the doctor made three cuts and pried it out piece by piece, even the anesthesia couldn’t hold up, and the pain made the poor guy pee straight on...

Now that Su Huai had the ability to adjust his facial bones, naturally, he had to first eliminate the hidden dangers.

Moreover, after dealing with those crooked teeth, he could freely adjust the width of the front teeth and jawbone, which greatly helped improve his facial shape.

Pinching his face was easier than he imagined, he just needed to issue the command, and those wisdom teeth immediately got the message.

Su Huai seemed to already see a +5 beauty score prompt, hehe smiling, satisfied he walked out the door.

8 o’clock sharp, everyone gathered, boarding the cruise ship that came especially to pick them up.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Huang Mengting, like a sparrow, darted and jumped excitedly through the crowd, almost ready to take off on the spot.

The rest of the classmates weren’t much better, babbling nonstop, noisier than 50,000 ducks.

Gu Jiuyue was surrounded by people, and Su Huai couldn’t get close.

But he was also surrounded by boys, with constant calls of father-in-law and sons bowing their heads in homage.

The reason for their excitement was that, after discussing with Gu Jiuyue, they had organized a grand event for everyone.

The place they were going today was Sansha!

Sansha City is our country’s southernmost city. Strictly speaking, it’s a chain of islands, our great Huaxia’s bridgehead in the South China Sea.

Sansha is divided into Zhongsha, Xisha, and Nansha Archipelagos.

No need to mention Xisha Archipelago, even elementary school students know about it, the textbook article "The Beautiful and Fertile Xisha Archipelago" has incited countless kids’ longing for the sea.

Zhongsha Archipelago is all hidden reefs and rocks, with no habitable islands.

Nansha Archipelago is the most interesting, even the not-so-convenient-to-write-about kind of interesting.

Skipping the cause and effect, anyway, it was just this July.

Right back then was the summer vacation after the college entrance exams, and Su Huai’s high school classmates would share news daily and discuss in the group, they were really worked up.

It was a big deal, but in Su Huai’s memory, it was quite faint.

However, on this trip to Sanya, when the male students from the big data class brought up the arbitration case again, cursing furiously, it immediately stirred Su Huai’s sentiments and curiosity about the current timeline.

So, at his suggestion, the true princess Gu Xiaojiu made a decision and organized the Sansha tour.

Wishing to visit here isn’t easy, and it won’t be over the next 8 years either.

Sansha City was established in 2002 and only designated Yongxing Island as its capital in 2012. Formerly a bridgehead in the South China Sea, only workers, island residents’ relatives, and some special teams were allowed to land on the island, and photography was prohibited, requiring a confidentiality agreement to be signed.

Gu Jiuyue’s application reason was "to participate in the flag-raising ceremony on Yongfu Island and conduct patriotism education for the class."

Wang’s academician status played a critical role; otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten permission to land and would have been limited to a standard cruise at sea.

How boring would that have been?

So it wasn’t just the classmates who were excited; even Su Huai felt a strong urge and was full of anticipation for the upcoming visit.

This was a wonderful trip that money alone couldn’t buy, and besides, Sansha itself is an absolute pristine land, as well as the most beautiful and purest sea area in the whole of Huaxia.

Zengmu Ansha, how beautiful that would be?

Emerald sea, blue sky, bikinis... SLURP!

Too bad the good girl Yuyu couldn’t come along, even if Gu wore the skimpiest fabric, it probably wouldn’t be much of a spectacle.

Su Huai wiped the corner of his mouth and decided to focus on the positives.

Like taking some photos and videos, enriching the social circle... the Sanya vicinity doesn’t compare, Sansha is special, this place can satisfy all inlanders’ glorious fantasies of the sea.

And although he said "not much of a spectacle," truth is, Gou Huai really had a tiny bit of expectation for Gu’s swimsuit.

Ahem, whether it looks good or not isn’t the point, I just want to play in the water with a good friend, I’m sure everyone can understand.

On the voyage out to sea, Su Huai slowly nudged his way to Gu Jiuyue’s side, gabbing away for a while, and then Gou Dongxi, feigning indifference, started to fish for information: "Looking at today’s temperature, you should be ready to go into the sea. By the way, have you got your swimsuit ready?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

Gu Jiuyue nodded excitedly, then her desire to share suddenly burst: "Wait for me, I’ll go change into it and show you!"

Ah, yo, my goodness?!

That open about it?!

Su Huai stared as she stampeded down to the cabin below, dazed for a while, and then suddenly, his expression changed, and he hastily followed.

Hold on! I’d better watch, in your room...

The remaining 16 bastards in my class don’t deserve it!

Gou Huai stood at the door to Gu Jiuyue’s room, warily watching all the passing male creatures, and painfully enduring the longest ten minutes of his life.
