Chapter 401: Chapter 401 - 374: Vajra Wants to Drive
After sorting everything out with Liu Yishou, Fang Chenyi rubbed his groggy head and fell asleep on the bed.
The next day at noon, Qi Xiaotian and Fang Chenyi each drove a Mengshi to the port to await the Chen Meng’s arrival.
The reason they brought two vehicles was, of course, because of that big guy, Vajra.
Along with them were the staff responsible for inspecting the ship.
Finally, after about a half-hour wait, the Chen Meng appeared in their line of sight.
The appearance of the enormous cruise ship immediately drew gasps and a crowd of onlookers at the dock.
The cruise ship was simply massive, larger than anyone could have imagined. Not only that, but its level of luxury left everyone speechless.
They were even more shocked when they saw it was flying the flag of Huaxia. ’So our Great Huaxia has a super-cruise ship of this size too!’
Slowly, the massive Chen Meng finally finished docking.
Liu Yishou, who had been waiting on deck, immediately walked down the gangway toward Fang Chenyi.
Seeing that Liu Yishou was clearly much more tanned, Fang Chenyi clapped him hard on the shoulder and then gave him a hug.
"You’ve worked hard, Yishou!"
"Haha, Brother Fang, I can’t agree with you there. The Chen Meng is incredibly luxurious! I’ve been on it for over half a month, and there are still so many places I haven’t even seen yet."
"ROAR~"
As the three of them were talking, a series of roars suddenly erupted from the deck behind them, startling the crowd of onlookers.
Just then, a huge figure in camouflage fatigues charged down the gangway.
Before anyone could react, he leaped in front of Fang Chenyi. The next moment, the big guy excitedly pounded his chest, then stepped forward and pulled Fang Chenyi into a hug!
"COUGH COUGH, haha, damn it, go easy on me, brother!"
At his height, Fang Chenyi was like a child in front of this giant. The hug left him feeling winded.
He struggled out of the big guy’s embrace and looked at the giant’s excited face.
"ROAR, ROAR, ROAR."
When Vajra saw Fang Chenyi had broken free, he let out another roar and turned, stretching his huge arms out to hug Qi Xiaotian instead.
Seeing Qi Xiaotian’s face turn red as he was squeezed in the hug, Fang Chenyi and Liu Yishou couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
After the bout of horseplay, Fang Chenyi knew this wasn’t the place to talk. He went aboard to greet the crew, told them they would all be having a celebratory dinner at the Qinhuang Hotel later, and then left with Vajra.
However, when they got to the vehicle, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but laugh as he watched the big guy struggle to get inside.
The once-spacious Mengshi suddenly seemed tiny, giving off the same vibe as watching a giant try to cram himself into a Mini Cooper.
"ROAR, ROAR, ROAR."
With Fang Chenyi’s help, the big guy finally managed to squeeze into the vehicle.
As for Qi Xiaotian, he stayed behind with Liu Yishou to arrange things for the crew and the inspection.
Vajra wasn’t completely unfamiliar with cars. There were a few small patrol vehicles on the cruise ship, but they were too small for him to ever fit inside.
Fang Chenyi started the engine. Having set foot on land for the first time, Vajra was exceptionally excited the whole way.
Finally, amid the big guy’s incessant roars, the vehicle pulled into Fang Chenyi’s villa complex.
Vajra, who was already fascinated by cars, saw the countless vehicles parked in front of him and immediately started roaring with excitement.
He naturally began pounding his chest, THUMP THUMP THUMP.
"Oh no, you can’t drive these!"
Seeing Vajra’s eager expression, Fang Chenyi immediately stopped him. ’Are you kidding me? The Mengshi is basically an armored car. If he gets behind the wheel of one, he’ll wreck the whole villa complex.’
’And that would be if he stayed inside the complex. If he crashed through a wall and got out onto the streets, it would be a disaster.’
The thought made Fang Chenyi shudder. ’I absolutely cannot let this guy get his hands on a car!’
With that in mind, Fang Chenyi quickly called the two chefs who were busy in the dining hall and had them start collecting all the car keys.
There was no other choice; no one else was around in the villa complex at the moment.
While telling them to take the keys out of the ignitions, he didn’t forget to lecture Vajra, telling him he absolutely couldn’t drive here and promising to get him his own custom car in the future.
In short, after dangling countless carrots, he finally managed to get the idea of driving out of the big guy’s head.
But it had to be said, the big guy was just like a child. As soon as he realized Fang Chenyi wouldn’t let him drive, he turned his attention elsewhere.
Seeing a lot of gym equipment in the yard of Qi Xiaotian’s villa, the big lug ran over to it.
This was all thanks to Liu Yishou and the others. To ensure the crew stayed in good physical shape, Liu Yishou had specially installed a simple set of training equipment on one of the ship’s aft decks. Vajra, having nothing better to do, would often sneak in and train with the crew.
So now, upon seeing this equipment, he immediately ran over to show off for his master, Fang Chenyi.
Fang Chenyi watched as the big guy hung from the high monkey bars meant for arm strength training, but his feet were still touching the ground. There was nothing to be done about it; his arms were just too long...
Just like that, half an hour later, Qi Xiaotian, Liu Yishou, and the others finally arrived. The rest of the crew had gone straight to the hotel.
Looking at the villa complex he had been away from for nearly two months, Liu Yishou felt a warm sense of familiarity. It wasn’t just Liu Yishou; even Mu Tou and Shi Tou were overcome with emotion.
Behind them were ten hand-picked crew members. These men would not be returning to the ship; from now on, they would stay at the villa complex to fill the security positions.
After getting them settled, Fang Chenyi took Vajra, Qi Xiaotian, and the others to the hotel.
Delicious dishes were brought to the tables one after another, and the crew members, who had been at sea for two months, all began to wolf down their food.
No one was drinking. After everyone had eaten their fill, Fang Chenyi stood up and clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Heh, everyone, quiet down for a moment. I have a couple of things to say."
As he finished speaking, the hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Fang Chenyi nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou came forward, each carrying a large briefcase.
