NOVEL NEXT Chapter 123: Go Big!_2
"It's a Chinese-style breakfast selected according to your instructions, with crab roe soup dumplings, mini fried dough sticks, and green porridge."
Only then did Gu Heng notice the neatly arranged breakfast on the table...
What does it mean when clothes come to your hand and food comes to your mouth?
This is what it means when clothes come to your hand and food comes to your mouth...
Since waking up, he hadn't given a single instruction...
But Zheng Jiayi had taken care of everything perfectly...
As he said this, his satisfied gaze fell on Zheng Jiayi...
Seeing Gu Heng's gaze, Zheng Jiayi showed no significant change in expression. Her face still wore that respectful look as she stepped aside to allow Gu Heng to dine at the table...
Meanwhile, Xu Ying started to feel a sense of crisis...
Ever since she had arrived on Hong Kong Island, her role as a personal secretary had hardly been evident...
Almost everything was managed by Zheng Jiayi...
She felt like nothing more than a decorative vase...
Gu Heng had no idea what Xu Ying was thinking, and he simply sat down at the table. After taking a bite, he remembered something and said to the two, "By the way, have you two eaten?"
"We ate before starting work."
After Zheng Jiayi finished speaking, Xu Ying nodded in agreement and couldn't help but assert her presence. She softly said, "Boss, the itinerary you asked me to plan is completed. I have arranged the tour route for the next two days."
Gu Heng was about to nod when he heard Zheng Jiayi speak again after Xu Ying had finished.
"Mr. Gu, I apologize for interrupting your travel plans, but do you remember the party you asked me to contact yesterday?"
Gu Heng, while sipping the exquisite broth of the crab roe soup dumpling through a straw, nodded indifferently.
"I remember. What about it?"
"Well, the organizers have notified me that the party will be held from four this afternoon to noon tomorrow. If you would like to attend, you might need to pause your itinerary, as these parties are not regularly scheduled, and the next one is uncertain."
After popping the rest of the dumpling skin into his mouth, Gu Heng was slightly surprised. "That soon?"
"I didn't expect it to be this soon either."
After a brief moment of thought, Gu Heng spoke up, "Then please inform the party organizers that I'll go this afternoon."
After he finished speaking, another thought came to him, and he asked again, "By the way, are there any requirements for attending the party? Like paying any membership fees or something?"
"Yes, there are."
Gu Heng knew it; these kinds of parties always had some requirements...
If just anyone could attend, there would be no need for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to personally communicate with the organizers...
"This party is organized by the Hong Kong Yacht Club, and it's a yacht party. Participants are required to possess a certain amount of assets. Of course, Mr. Gu, you don't need to worry about that. Since you come recommended by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, you meet this criterion. The other requirement is that participants must own a yacht capable of sailing..."
Gu Heng: "???"
Need a yacht just to attend a party?
The thought made Gu Heng blurt out, "So what you're saying is I need to go out and buy a yacht right now?"
If he indeed needed to buy a yacht, Gu Heng really wasn't interested in the party anymore...
He was simply here to travel, not planning to acquire any property. Even if he were to buy, that would have to wait until after he returned to the Mainland...
And he also believed that buying a yacht probably wouldn't be much simpler than buying a supercar...
He had no interest in going to all that trouble just for a few dumplings stuffed with sauce...
Hearing Gu Heng's words, Zheng Jiayi quickly explained, "Of course, you don't need to buy a yacht. This requirement is relatively flexible; it has been set for the sake of enhancing the party experience... The main point is that if you don't have a yacht, you would need to join someone else's, and since Mr. Gu, you don't know anyone on Hong Kong Island, it could be inconvenient...
In fact, you can rent a yacht. Many party attendees rent yachts, as after all, there are relatively few wealthy individuals on Hong Kong Island with private yachts."
"Rent?"
"Yes, Hong Kong Island has many yacht rental companies. Furthermore, renting a yacht isn't very costly, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Many regular family gatherings also opt to rent a yacht."

"Tens of thousands isn't expensive? No wonder they say there are so many rich people on Hong Kong Island."
Gu Heng laughed and teased while drinking his porridge.
Renting a yacht for tens of thousands of dollars, at that price, would not be considered "ordinary families" anymore back in the Mainland.
"Mr. Gu, you might have misunderstood. In fact, a yacht costing tens of thousands for one day is considered very expensive. Typically, the rental cost for a yacht ranges from 6,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each yacht can accommodate 20-30 people. You can bring friends and family for a day out at sea.
When split amongst all, the cost per person for a day comes down to just a few hundred Hong Kong dollars."
Gu Heng was only joking, but he didn't expect Zheng Jiayi to give such a detailed explanation; he didn't say more but directly asked, "Do you have any yacht rental companies you trust?"
"Certainly, upon receiving this information, our hotel immediately contacted yacht rental companies. Mr. Gu, if you wish, we can arrange it for you right away."
Gu Heng curled his lip, "Did you ever consider that I might not rent? If so, you would have been preparing in vain."
Hearing this, Zheng Jiayi stood up straight, still smiling.
"At the Ritz-Carlton, there is no such thing as wasted effort. Our job is to ensure that Mr. Gu, you are one hundred percent satisfied with our service!"
