CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 334 CRUISE ACTIVITY_2

Zhou Yingying’s outfit today is noticeably more high-end and beautiful than yesterday’s, clearly having been carefully prepared for this event.

She is wearing a fitted long dress with a strapless neckline, just revealing her fragrant shoulders and ample whiteness. The hem of the skirt has a slit at the thigh, and with every step, her slender beautiful legs are faintly visible.

Moreover, her makeup today is also much more exquisite. According to Zhou Yingying herself, she specifically hired a professional makeup artist to do it, which indeed complements her temperament better than the makeup she did herself yesterday, and is less tackily heavy.

Li Jing glanced at Zhou Yingying’s chest and nodded inwardly, thinking her figure was quite decent.

His impression of her today is a 0.5 point higher than yesterday’s.

Zhou Yingying noticed Li Jing looking at her chest, and her reaction was completely different from Shi Yang’s. Not only did she not feel shy, but she deliberately puffed out her chest, as if afraid that Li Jing couldn’t see clearly.

Afterward, the two headed to the Hai City harbor together.

On the way, Zhou Yingying explained, "Brother Jing, this event is actually a local influencer gathering in Hai City, attended by influencers from all walks of life.

We collectively funded the chartering of a luxury yacht to play on it for two days and nights. On the yacht, we will go live, shoot videos, and accumulate content for our social media accounts.

Moreover, we can meet many other influencers here."

As she spoke, she emphasized to Li Jing with a smile, "This time, there will be many beautiful female influencers. If Brother Jing is interested, feel free to tell me, and I can introduce you."

Zhou Yingying is very clever. Although she wants to build a relationship with Li Jing, she is not jealous or obstructs Li Jing from contacting other women, and is even willing to actively help with introductions.

She understands that with her status, it’s impossible to possess Li Jing, so she might as well be more open. This also reflects her high emotional intelligence.

After chatting with Zhou Yingying for a few moments, Li Jing felt quite relaxed.

Communicating with a smart and sensible woman indeed saves a lot of thought.

However, Li Jing was not very interested in these ordinary female influencers and only responded blandly without saying much more.

He came to participate in this event primarily to take a yacht and enjoy the scenery.

After all, since these influencers collectively funded the chartering of a yacht and prepared for video shoots and live broadcasts, the chosen route must not be bad. The scenery will probably be more distinctive than the ordinary attractions of Hai City, and he could use the opportunity to appreciate Hai City’s unique scenery.

However, Li Jing did not expect that Zhou Yingying also ventured into the self-media field, and upon looking at her account, he found that she was a small but famous local beauty influencer.

Zhou Yingying was originally fairly good-looking, and with the powerful beauty-enhancing functions of self-media, added with her bold and open personality, she did attract many people online.

Li Jing checked her social media account information and found she surprisingly had over a million followers.

Most of the videos Zhou Yingying posted are about sharing her luxurious lifestyle and scenes from some wealthy second-generation parties she attended, including the showcase of expensive luxury cars and high-end fashion items.

Zhou Yingying was worried that Li Jing might have misunderstandings and quickly explained, "Nowadays in self-media, without a theme or identity, it’s impossible to gain followers.

So I set myself up as a wealthy socialite, taking advantage of our connections with this second-generation rich circle. I occasionally post some videos, and there are quite a lot of people who like to watch them.

But I never deceive my followers, nor do I privately borrow money from them for crowdfunding; I’d rather earn a little living expense from livestreaming sales."

Li Jing nodded. He knew that many fake second-generation rich and fake socialites online made money from followers secretly through illegal crowdfunding or borrowing money, pretending to have the persona of rich people to make followers believe they would certainly repay the money.

And like Zhou Yingying, who purely makes money through selling goods and doesn’t deceive rich heirs or trick followers, is already considered conscientious.

However, Li Jing also understood why Zhou Yingying tried hard to squeeze into Shi Yang’s second-generation rich circle, only by entering this circle could she better maintain her online socialite persona.

He then roughly browsed through Zhou Yingying’s videos, finding that besides some high-profile displays of wealth to prove she is rich, there weren’t any videos transmitting incorrect values.

Her account indeed had quite a few records of selling goods and e-commerce windows, which could be estimated as her main source of income.

Upon reaching the destination, an extremely luxurious yacht came into Li Jing’s view.

The exterior of the yacht was luxurious, and the ship was enormous, made with high-end metal materials, adorned with exquisite carvings and lighting decorations, highlighting the yacht’s luxury and elegance.

According to Zhou Yingying, the cost of such a yacht is hundreds of millions, and the rental fee is also quite substantial, with a nightly rate of tens of thousands.

Seeing the luxurious yacht, Li Jing was quite satisfied, thinking the experience this time should not be too bad. After taking a brief look, he followed Zhou Yingying aboard.

The interior space of the yacht was spacious, yet there weren’t many people, and Li Jing did not need to queue up upon boarding.

Zhou Yingying explained beside him, "This event is a local influencer gathering in Hai City. To make it convenient for everyone to shoot videos and live stream, not too many people were invited. Otherwise, the cameras would capture all the others, causing unnecessary trouble."

Li Jing nodded, and Zhou Yingying continued, "We each paid some money, with the event organizer managing it.

Because you, Brother Jing, are coming, I specifically paid extra and applied for a luxury suite. This suite has two bedrooms but is within the same suite; I hope you don’t mind, Brother Jing."

Hearing this, Li Jing didn’t say much and merely nodded blandly.

Once everyone was on board, the yacht set sail, and everyone began to move freely.

Besides a crewmember recording the basic information of those who arrived, there were no other mandatory activities or requirements, and everyone could roam freely without any enforced schedule.

Zhou Yingying first went to find some luxurious spots on the yacht and shot a few videos, seemingly as material for her wealth display videos.

During filming, Zhou Yingying, like many influencers, spoke various routine scripts, subtly suggesting how expensive the yacht was and that she often came to play.

Her objective was clear: to convey to the online community that she was indeed a genuine socialite.

However, Zhou Yingying was very cautious while filming, deliberately avoiding Li Jing for fear of causing his dissatisfaction.

Li Jing was quite satisfied with Zhou Yingying’s attention to such details. After a simple stroll around, he began observing the yacht.

The yacht was indeed luxurious, divided into multiple decks, with lavish interior decor, and a restaurant that offered complimentary dining services.

If one wanted to admire the scenic route, special commentary headsets could be obtained.

After wearing the headset, whenever the yacht reached a worthy spot, a prompt sound would play, followed by a detailed commentary.

Li Jing grabbed a headset, put it on, and then headed to the viewing deck to take in the sea scenery.

Perhaps because the influencers mainly came for video shooting rather than genuinely enjoying the scenery, not many were on the viewing deck, which suited Li Jing’s preference for solitude.

Listening to the commentary, he sat on a specially arranged chair, gazing at the sea beyond the yacht.

The azure sea stretched endlessly, with sunlight shimmering on the surface like countless tiny diamonds sparkling.

In the distance, the sea and sky melded together, indistinguishable from where one ended and the other began. White seagulls soared freely in the sky, occasionally making crisp cries.

The sea breeze gently caressed his cheeks, carrying a slight salty tang that made one feel exceptionally serene.

The majestic scene calmed Li Jing’s heart considerably.

He closed his eyes, feeling the sea breeze against him, utterly content.

After a while, he glanced back to see small groups of influencers still busy filming on the yacht.

They were focused on capturing the yacht’s opulent interiors, seemingly oblivious to the magnificent seascape around them.

Li Jing couldn’t help but shake his head silently, thinking these people truly didn’t know how to appreciate beauty, only thinking about shooting videos to show off despite such beautiful surroundings.

He reckoned that most participants in such events were mainly wealth-showing streamers.

For these people, Li Jing didn’t have much interest and only wanted to quietly enjoy the beauty in front of him.

After Zhou Yingying finished filming a simple video, she quickly came to find Li Jing, afraid he might feel lonely being alone.

Zhou Yingying sat obediently next to Li Jing. Initially, she wanted to chat more with him, but seeing he just wanted to watch the scenery, she stopped talking and simply accompanied him quietly.

Whenever Li Jing was thirsty or wanted something to eat, she would immediately run to the restaurant to get it, acting like Li Jing’s personal assistant.
