Chapter 1228 Invitation
“It will open in a week,” Liu Meilan replied. “It will become a leisure and entertainment venue. It’s still summer vacation, and I’m planning to invite my brother and sister-in-law to bring their children there.”
Fu Weiguo shook his head, "Too much trouble."
Liu Meilan frowned, unconvinced. "Dad, don't say that. Fu Chen and I are over there, it's only natural for our nephews and nieces to go out and have fun, isn't it? I came here this time to pick everyone up."
Ms. Yuan blinked. "I'm free recently, but the adults aren't, so I'll take the kids. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It's such a great opportunity, let the kids come along!"
Fu Weiguo thought for a moment, "Meilan, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Liu Meilan waved her hand, "It's no trouble at all, they're my own children."
The children of the other two families had nothing to do at home during the summer vacation. Although Beijing has many tourist attractions, they had seen them all since they were little and were no longer interested in visiting them. Now that they heard they could go to a seaside amusement park, they immediately packed their bags and came over.
One child per family, eight children in total. Including Fu Chen and Liu Meilan's child, the Fu family has ten grandchildren. The oldest is already a sophomore in college. The youngest, besides Liu Meilan's child, is Fu Heng and Xu Huizhen's child, who is in first grade this year.
Xu Huizhen happened to have annual leave and originally planned to go back to her parents' home.
Now that Liu Meilan has organized this event, I'm naturally very happy to participate. Several of my sisters-in-law who work less demanding jobs immediately took leave to come along. Those who are too busy to come can only look on with envy.
However, their children all went with them. They trusted Liu Meilan's organization of the activities.
And so, six days later, when Liu Meilan set off, she brought back more than a dozen people. There was Ms. Yuan and her retired eldest sister-in-law; her second sister-in-law worked in a key department and hadn't reached retirement age yet. There were also several nieces-in-law and ten children.
When I bought the plane tickets, they thought it was a group activity.
Grandpa Fu insisted on buying two different planes, worried that if the planes crashed, at least half of the children could be saved. Although it was troublesome, Liu Meilan understood. If the planes crashed, the entire Fu family would be wiped out.
Because of the old man's strong insistence, Liu Meilan complied.
And so, the two groups of people took two separate flights to Shenzhen.
Now there are airport buses that go directly to the pier, and then you can take a yacht to the entertainment island.
Liu Meilan instructed, "Sister Huizhen, you wait here. I'll take everyone to the entertainment island first."
Xu Huizhen nodded, "Okay, I'll leave the child in your care."
Liu Meilan chuckled, "Don't worry, I guarantee your safety."
The entertainment complex is now ready and will open tomorrow.
There aren't many people here yet, especially those from distant places, so Liu Meilan booked excellent suites. Everyone was assigned a very nice room, and the accommodations were quite good.
Fu Yang, a sophomore, hadn't stopped taking pictures since arriving on the island. "Aunt Jiu, is the entertainment island a kingdom of the ocean? It feels like we've entered a dragon palace. It's so unique!"
Liu Meilan said proudly, "Of course, we've combined modern architecture with Chinese mythology to create a unique amusement park. Look, every corner here is stunning."
Fu Yang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Aunt Jiu, look at the pictures I took, aren't they cute? Aren't they handsome? My younger brothers and sisters are like little elves."
Liu Meilan took the camera, slightly raised her chin, and said, "Yangyang, wherever you like to take pictures, strike your coolest pose and I'll take them for you!"
"Ninth Aunt, you can take pictures?" Fu Yang was slightly taken aback, a little doubtful.
Liu Meilan raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly. "I'm not a professional, but I want to tell you that I have a good feel for it and can take great photos. Come on, stop dawdling!"
Fu Yang was skeptical, "Aunt Jiu, then please take a good picture for me. I'm planning to post it on my QQ space!"
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Liu Meilan held the camera. At first, Fu Yang was looking for a spot, but later Liu Meilan took over directing Fu Yang.
Liu Meilan would kneel on one knee, turn to the side, and even stand on a chair to take pictures, searching for the best angle. She would snap away for a while, then hand the camera to Fu Yang, saying, "What do you think?"
Fu Yang was stunned after seeing it. "Ninth Aunt, you're amazing! I never thought you could take such a beautiful picture from this angle!"
Liu Meilan chuckled, "I'm glad you like it. I'm going to see the children!"
Those aged 15 and above may move freely in groups, but cannot act alone. If they encounter trouble, they can directly seek help from patrolling security guards.
Children under fifteen are accompanied by adults, and are also watched over by bodyguards and guards, so they can be kept under close supervision.
For dinner, Liu Meilan treated everyone to a seafood restaurant on the island. The seafood was authentic, local, clean, and fresh. The dishes were modified to suit most people's palates.
After the meal, Liu Meilan pointed to the row of food stalls and said, "Tomorrow everyone can go there and try the local snacks. They'll have a unique flavor, full of the warmth of everyday life, and will soothe your soul."
Xu Huizhen praised, "Meilan, I didn't expect the entertainment island to be built so well! You can see the team's dedication in every detail."
Liu Meilan nodded, "So we are confident that we can get this going. There will be many tourists tomorrow. You need to keep a close eye on the children and follow the rules."
"Understood!" Xu Huizhen nodded, took the child and said goodbye to everyone, "I haven't been back for a long time, I'll go back to the island with you."
Liu Meilan agreed, "Okay!"
Ms. Yuan smiled and said, "Meilan, I won't bother you now. We'll visit you together after the holiday."
“Okay!” Liu Meilan smiled. This way it would be more convenient, as there would be no need to entertain twice, and everyone would feel more relaxed.
They said goodbye to everyone with their children before leaving.
Xu Huizhen's son, Fu Xuan, was playing with Fu Ying and Fu Hai in the yacht's cabin. The two women were sitting by the window, drinking tea and chatting.
Liu Meilan raised her teacup. "Sister Huizhen, congratulations on your promotion."
Xu Huizhen smiled, raised her glass and took a sip, "Thank you. I admit I have the ability, but I also need the help of my family."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Then do your job diligently. Are you worthy of this important trust?"
Xu Huizhen nodded with a serious expression, "Of course, I work very hard, I can take responsibility, and I will contribute my share."
"That's enough!" Liu Meilan smiled lightly. "As long as you do your best in this job, no one can say anything."
Xu Huizhen smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, cheers for the great rejuvenation!"
"Cheers!" The two clinked their teacups together, everything understood without a word.
They are all outstanding women, doing different things in different industries, but with one goal in mind. Although we are all dust in history, we can still shine like stars.
After returning to the hotel, Fu Yang exported all the photos from the camera onto his computer, and without editing them, he simply uploaded them to his QQ space.
