Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 465 - 356: A Chance Encounter on the Island
The next day, sunlight spilled inside the hotel, and Li Jing slept until he naturally woke up.
Sophie didn’t come to find him again, so Li Jing was happy to sleep in.
He was well aware that Sophie had realized he was a playboy, so she hesitated in her attitude towards him.
Actually, many girls are just like Sophie, sticking to traditional values and views on love, instinctively being cautious of playboys.
After all, who wouldn’t want a devoted prince charming to take care of them?
But reality is often very cruel; such perfect men mostly exist in novels and TV dramas, and even if they do exist, they are very rare.
For most ordinary girls, finding an honest man who genuinely cares about them is already a fortunate and happy thing.
After washing up, Li Jing enjoyed breakfast at the hotel.
Though Sophie was no longer guiding his tours, he had already paid for a local guide.
The guide was dedicated, not only explaining each scenery in detail but also helping Li Jing take many photos.
The only slight downside was that the guide was a man.
Li Jing originally wanted to hire a female guide; after all, having a pretty girl by his side during trips always makes the mood more pleasant, even if it’s just pure travel.
Unfortunately, all the female guides seemed to have been booked, and he hadn’t made reservations in advance, so he had to go with this male guide.
But fortunately, the guide was professional and experienced, so Li Jing treated him to several lavish meals, which made the guide feel favored and resulted in more detailed and attentive introductions.
Even for some niche spots and undeveloped sites, as long as Li Jing was interested, the guide tried his best to take him there, which gave Li Jing some pleasant surprises.
However, even so, Li Jing still couldn’t get satisfactory life photos.
In the passing two to three days, there was no message from Sophie, and Li Jing wouldn’t take the initiative to inquire.
Indeed, Sophie was quite nice, her character making Li Jing quite satisfied, and she was notably attractive, especially her pair of straight and long beautiful legs, which were truly rare.
But Li Jing always adhered to the principle of "Fishing with a hook, wait for the willing fish to bite," and he would never actively pursue a woman.
If she wants to come, she comes; if not, he’ll look for someone else.
On the third day, Li Jing and the guide went to Wuzhizhou Island.
Wuzhizhou Island is a famous attraction in Yashi, with scenes from several acclaimed movies filmed there. Compared to other places in Yashi, the beaches and scenery here are particularly outstanding.
After touring the main attractions, they felt a bit tired and found a cafe by the sea.
As they entered, the shop was permeated with the aroma of coffee.
Li Jing ordered a cup of coffee and a drink, chose a seat by the window, and stared at the sea outside.
The guide spoke at this point: "President Li, this season is the peak tourism season in Yashi. Winter here isn’t hot, it’s about twenty degrees, so many people from the north come here for winter, and many families even travel here for the New Year."
Li Jing listened and nodded gently.
Looking at the beach, it’s packed with tourists, most of them are families with children, full of laughter.
It’s obvious that the families coming here have good conditions, since the expenses on Wuzhizhou Island aren’t low.
Yashi is by the sea, there’s plenty of seafood, but some restaurants have seafood priced even higher than inland, as tourism is the main economic source here.
While resting, the guide suddenly said: "President Li, many internet celebrities and stars come here for shooting. There’s a team over there; it looks like they’re filming a short drama, their costumes and set look pretty good. Maybe we should go and have a look; perhaps we’ll spot a familiar star."
"Stars?" Li Jing raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction pointed by the guide.
Not far away on the beach, staff was using barricades to circle off a filming area, where more than a dozen people were busy working.
Li Jing had been with a crew before, so he readily recognized that a shoot was in progress.
Compared to the Wen Lan crew he had been with, this team had much simpler equipment.
Li Jing thought it was likely a short drama or short video shoot, but the team seemed bigger than usual for short video productions.
"It should be a short drama." Li Jing speculated, nodding in agreement.
Initially, Li Jing hadn’t planned to join the commotion.
But suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure, and was taken aback, surprised: Zhou Yingying?
The guide beside him detected his unusual reaction and asked unexpectedly: "President Li, do you know someone over there?"
Li Jing nodded and was about to stand up but saw that people seemed busy with filming and sat back down, saying:
"Forget it, they’re busy working; I won’t disturb them for now. I’ll send her a message instead."
Saying this, Li Jing picked up his phone and sent Zhou Yingying a message.
Since they parted on the cruise last time, they hadn’t seen each other.
However, Zhou Yingying had sent plenty of messages voluntarily, and Li Jing had chatted with her online a few times. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
As their interaction increased, their relationship advanced further. Zhou Yingying’s attitude towards Li Jing became more intimate and proactive, yet her words and actions maintained a trace of respect.
In Zhou Yingying’s mind, Li Jing belonged to an unreachable affluent class for her, and even though they had been intimate, she felt that their identity disparity hadn’t just vanished.
And this ability to understand her position was precisely Zhou Yingying’s cleverness.
If she were to wishfully think of becoming Li Jing’s rightful girlfriend after that one time and relentlessly ask Li Jing for things, he might offer her some small favors, but afterward would certainly ignore her.
Li Jing has always appreciated those who understand boundaries and dislikes those who are greedy. Zhou Yingying’s sensibility even made Li Jing inclined to help her a few more times.
