Chapter 152： , pirate ship

"Beauty contest?" Qin Rou, who was invited to be the judge of the beauty contest, was surprised.

Taiwan Wu said: "It's the idea of ​​the Heart Connect program group. Since their program group has been established today, they have accumulated a lot of experience for the station... A few days ago, we went to Guangdong Province for a meeting, then We will also hold a beauty pageant next year, and our TV station also came up with an idea, just as China Southern Airlines intends to select a group of flight attendants..."

"In conjunction with your South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce, we will jointly hold a South Island Beauty Pageant."

Since the 1980s, Qiongzhou Island has entered a period of rapid development, and the college entrance examination has been resumed. Every year, thousands of graduate students are assigned to Qiongzhou Island, injecting countless young people into the island. of fresh blood.

Tourists from all over the country to and from Qiongzhou Island, and many Hong Kong and Macao funds and foreign funds have injected into factories to set up industries, planting pineapples, mangoes, coffee beans and other economic crops, fruit canning factories have been built... Whether Wu Lun is Yecheng or Lucheng is changing rapidly.

…

Taichang Wu and others believe that the time is ripe to start a beauty contest.

"Our South Island Chamber of Commerce, as well as my Xunrou Pearl Factory and my sister's pearl costumes can support you in this beauty contest, but this judge... I'm afraid I'm not suitable." Qin Rou shook her head: "I have no experience in being elected as an American judge."

Comrade Xiao Qin never thought that he could be elected as a judge.

Mr. Wu said with a wry smile: "We have never had a beauty contest in China, we are all crossing the river by feeling the stones, and everyone has no experience! Not only you, but everyone has no experience as a judge, only You can find out."

"President Qin, you have an idea. Let's brainstorm together to make this South Island beauty pageant a success."

"The government has attached great importance to this beauty pageant. If this beauty pageant can be successfully held, it will definitely greatly increase the number of Qiongzhou Island..."

…

Starting a beauty pageant is indeed a very good way of publicity, which can improve the reputation and prestige of Qiongzhou Island at home and abroad, and attract the attention of Chinese people.

Listening to the sincerity of Director Wu, Qin Rou did intend to participate.

"We have also learned about international beauty pageants. At present, Chinese people here may find it difficult to accept swimwear..."

Nowadays, many international beauty pageants have swimwear competitions.

Although the economy has been open for many years, everyone's thinking is still relatively conservative at this time, and young girls are not willing to show their bodies too much. , In fact, it was the belly of the stuntman.

The filming crew of Journey to the West has been to Qiongzhou Island, and the part where the Monkey King was born was filmed on the island. It is not known whether the inspiration for the child Liu Yue to ride a horse on the street was obtained from Tang Monk's horse riding.

Qin Rou: "Then the contestants can also wear cheongsams, dress skirts, Hanfu, wedding dresses, national costumes on the island... and even use gorgeous phoenix crowns and shading to show their temperament and demeanor. We can promote our traditional culture."

"A costume design team should be found to individually customize the finalists' clothing."

"Our South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce can provide contestants with clothing accessories and even pearl crowns."

"The island's beauty pageant will definitely attract domestic attention, and such a beauty pageant is also the best occasion to showcase our South Island pearls."

After Qin Rou invested and built the pearl craft garden, she also found someone to build a hot spring hotel in Nanyu. As a tropical island, Qiongzhou Island is rich in geothermal energy. Numerous, Qin Rou has long planned to develop several hot spring centers.

Not only hot springs, but also sea view rooms.

At present, the Nantian Hot Spring Center built by Qin Rou has been built and has not yet been put into use. Another sea view room resort hotel is still under construction. To be honest, the sea view room is beautiful and beautiful. It is also very troublesome to get up. People on the island basically do not like to live near the sea. Such a sea view room is more suitable for meeting the requirements of foreigners. For them, the sea view room is a dream. place of residence.

“My hot spring center and sea view room hotel have not been put into use yet, until next year, they can be used as a venue for beauty pageants.”

This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, and her hot spring center and sea view room can also catch the spring breeze of publicity.

Of course, even if there is no publicity, Qin Rou is not worried that her hot spring center will not be able to make money. Even if she can't make money, she still wants to build a hot spring center, or it will be a private hot spring recuperation center.

—Because the hot springs are so comfortable!

Qin Rou herself can't wait for the opening of Nanyu Hot Spring Center, fish therapy pool, hot spring egg...especially in winter, when the weather turns slightly cooler, the hot spring pool is filled with white smoke, surrounded by white smoke But it is a green forest and green, the sky is high and the clouds are light, it is definitely a fairyland on earth! !

Winter holiday retreat.

"Great! Xiao Qin, you really helped us a lot!" When he heard that Qin Rou could still provide a venue, Director Wu was even happier.

Judging from the layout and design of the Pearl Craft Garden, the hot spring center and sea view room hotel that Qin Rou created this time will never disappoint.

Beauty, beauty, food and beautiful islands are what attracts attention.

Qin Rou then went to the TV station to discuss with Director Wu and others on how to organize the Qiongzhou Island Beauty Contest. At the same time, she met the genius copywriting planners of the "Heart Connected" program group, namely Xiao Zhang, Zhang Yuanjun .

This little Zhang wears a pair of glasses and an ordinary shirt and trousers. Although he looks ordinary from the outside, his thinking is not ordinary at all, and he has a lot of crazy ideas.

Most of the program copy that Qin Rou heard before was thought up by him. Not only can he speak well, he is also a powerful pen and can write.

Xie Ruan and this little Zhang together, it is simply a "wolong and phoenix" combination.

Two people together, just like seven or eight parrots together, they can talk cross talk.

Xie Ruan said that Qin Rou was his Bole, and Zhang Yuanjun also said that Qin Rou was his nobleman.

Xie Ruan said, "If I hadn't met President Qin, I would still be a teacher!"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "If it wasn't for President Qin's suggestion, I would have nothing to do every day, wasting my youth and finding the value of life!"

"President Qin is really a Bole!"

…

, Although Zhang Yuanjun still received his salary, but as a college graduate, his skills were useless, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

After the "Heart Connected" program began to organize, Zhang Yuanjun finally found the stage of his life!

He released himself to the fullest on this stage, and finally shined in the TV station, and was reused by the director.

For all this, I must thank President Qin.

Every time Zhang Yuanjun sees Qin Rou, he will be full of praise: "President Qin, you are really a role model for women in the new era, you are the most knowledgeable woman I have ever met..."

"When I was assigned to Qiongzhou Island, my parents cried and cried, thinking that I was assigned to some crazy place, and they were worried that I would not be able to find a partner on the island. They don't worry anymore, even if I can't find my way home, I can't find someone!"

Zhang Yuanjun was running the train with his mouth full, and he is now in the time of the spring breeze.

Qin Rou smiled and listened to him, thinking that you should not talk too much, sometimes the flag will come true.

You are a matchmaker for others, in case you "matchmaker" can't find a match!

—The guy in front of her wrote so many strange propaganda copies for her to help her promote it. She has long remembered this kid!

"Xiao Zhang, you are also a very thoughtful person. Have you ever thought about writing a script?" Qin Rou said to Zhang Yuanjun, she felt that the person in front of her didn't write a script, it was a waste his ability.

Qin Rou intends to find something for him to do.

Zhang Yuanjun was taken aback: "Write a script? What script?"

"When the beauty pageant is over, we might as well pick out a few suitable candidates, and let's make do with a simple TV series, or call it...a sitcom."

"Sitcom?"

"Yes, I have already thought of the name, it's called "The Story of the Travel Agency", the protagonist is a tour guide who is new to Qiongzhou Island. He meets all kinds of tourists on the island in the travel agency. Funny story." Qin Rou thought that the beauty pageant was going on, she might as well take this opportunity to invest in a low-cost sitcom.

Big IPs like "Fengshen Bang" and "Liao Zhai" can't be filmed, and it won't cost much to shoot some sitcoms.

Travel promos and witty commercials.

Investing in a sitcom like this doesn't cost a fortune.

"Xiao Zhang, you are a writer who understands creation and the cultural landscape of the island. I think you can try to write a script like this."

Zhang Yuanjun was stunned: "??!!"

Create a script! !

Zhang Yuanjun never thought that apart from doing TV shows, there is such a possibility in his life.

"President Qin...I'll try."

Zhang Yuanjun really didn't dare to make a ticket, Mom, that's writing a script!

"I'm going to see Mr. Xie to see if he has any ideas."

Qin Rou thought, let's go, I will feel at ease when you are busy, don't keep your eyes on her and make some strange things.

The beauty pageant here is under preparation and is expected to be held around March to April next year. They still have some time to prepare.

"Beauty contest?" During dinner, Lu Yan heard her talk about the beauty contest.

"Yeah, we've negotiated the Qiongzhou Island Beauty Pageant, also known as the Miss South Island Tourism Competition."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to participate in the beauty pageant?"

Qin Rou put down her chopsticks: "Your daughter-in-law is going to be a judge!"

She ran to the pageant? Do you endorse your own pearls, and then invest in your own filming?

Lu Yan laughed and joked: "Daughter-in-law, if you go to participate, you may win a prize. By then, Doudourong's mother will be Miss South Island Tourism."

Qin Rou tutted twice: "When people participate in beauty pageants, young unmarried women are generally required to participate in beauty pageants. Comrade Lu Yan, if we go back together more than ten years ago, let's not get married, your daughter-in-law. I can enter the beauty pageant now."

"That's impossible." Lu Yan squeezed her face: "You should sit on the jury's seat seriously."

"That's it!" Compared with being a contestant, it is naturally more comfortable to be a referee, "Your comrade Xiao Qin wants to be a female boss, and you need to find the South Island tourist lady who coexists with wisdom and beauty, for me The Xunrou Pearl endorsement."

Lu Sining said: "Wisdom and beauty coexist? Isn't that Rongrong me? I also want to participate in the beauty contest!"

Lu Siyao said: "I want to go too!"

"Mom, you are married, we are not married!"

Lu Yan calmly said: "You are too young, let's talk about it when you grow up to Dad's shoulders."

Lu Siyao: "We can go when we are taller than our mother!"

Lu Sining: "Soon!"

Qin Rou: "Hello! I warn you father and daughter, why do you decide that my mother is the shortest in the family??"

These stinky daughters who don't worry about each other are no longer the warm-hearted little padded jackets of their mothers. They have ambitions to surpass their mothers in height.

Lu Yan smiled and threw the peeled shrimp in her hand into her bowl as a sign of comfort, her eyes seemed to say: It's true, stop struggling.

Lu Sining: "Because grandma and aunt are tall!"

Lu Siyao: "Dad is tall too!"

Qin Rou: "..." But your mother is not short!

Because their mother is not short, these two little broken children are estimated to be taller than their mother.

When taking family photos in the future, she is really the shortest one in the family.

"Mom, don't worry."

Lu Weizhou, as a mother's good eldest son, immediately comforted: "Let Dumpling find a daughter-in-law who is a little bird, Mom, you are not the shortest in the family."

Lu Weize: "Why did I look for it and not you?"

The elder brother is so generous to others.

Lu Weizhou calmly said: "Brother just thinks that you will like Xiaoniaoyiren's object, just like father."

Lu Weize: "Maybe, I think it's shorter and cute."

Lu Yan laughed: "It's pretty cute—"

After a pause, Lu Yan added: "Cute and beautiful."

Qin Rou grinds her teeth: "You guys don't borrow money in advance to grow taller!"

The bragging that they learned from each and every one has not grown so high yet.

"Your mother, I'm not short!" She was only a little over 1.65 meters, definitely not particularly short.

How old are these two broken children, they are only twelve years old, and now they are thinking of marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, and also thinking of finding someone who is like a mother.

Let's set up the flag now, be careful that the two brothers will find a one-meter-eight object and a one-meter-five object, forming a strong contrast.

As a graduate student of Lingnan University, Qin Rou is also cooperating with Lingnan University. She plans to set up a biomedical laboratory in Guangcheng and Qiongzhou Island, which is specially used to research pearl cosmetics and skin care products and pearl health products.

One laboratory is used to study the extraction of active ingredients of pearls, and the other laboratory is used to study cosmetics.

I hope to establish a Xunrou pearl cosmetic production line in the next few years.

The products currently sold are mainly pearl crafts and pearl powder. Soon, pearl masks will also be produced.

Very hot.

Several pearl farming factories have expanded their farming scale, and several new pearl farming factories have opened, most of which are small workshops.

Qin Rou held a meeting with members of the Chamber of Commerce and discussed at the meeting: "We cannot continue to excessively expand the production scale in Linshui."

If you continue to expand the scale of pearl cultivation in Linshui, the seawater environment here will not be able to bear it sooner or later, the seawater pollution will be serious, and the quality of pearls produced here will also decline.

“The number of wild mother-of-pearls that can be salvaged in recent years has become less and less.”

…

"The researcher at the test station over there has come to the conclusion... If there is too much inbreeding of mother-of-pearl, the breed will be degraded in the future..."

At the meeting, Qin Rou suggested artificial deep-sea stocking of pearl oyster seedlings to reduce the fishing of wild pearl oysters in certain areas.

"In addition, after site selection, our Xunrou Pearl Factory took the lead in establishing a new pearl cultivation base on Mingsha Island."

Pearls raised in Shanglin water?"

"The new site has been identified by the Gulf researchers. The natural conditions there are more suitable for cultivating pearls. This location is rarely affected by the annual typhoon..."

No matter what other members of the chamber of commerce choose, Qin Rou's Xunrou pearl cultivation factory will establish a pearl cultivation base in the newly selected place.

The area there is relatively remote, and Qin Rou's treatment for the cultivation personnel is also very high. Of course, the more important thing is to mobilize the local people of Mingsha Island to participate in pearl cultivation.

At this time, Huang and his wife from Zhongying Street also gave good news: "Your pearls are selling very well!"

"Especially this gold feather necklace, every one who buys a necklace will bring a pearl along with it."

"If you have more pearl necklaces, you can sell them in our store..."

…

There is another pearl sales channel. The pearl business on the island continues to boom day by day. Build a small mansion.

Sister Qin Mian’s family has saved a lot of money over the years. She originally decided to build a new house. Mian thought, "When Jing Yi graduates, let him design a house for his parents."

"To live in a house designed by my son, that's how you want to be!"

Chen Jingyi couldn't help but tell his mother, "Even if I design my home now."

Qin Mian: "You, you haven't graduated from college yet. What if the house you designed is prone to collapse?"

"I'm afraid of your mother."

Ms. Qin Mian wants to live in the house designed by her son, but she is worried that the house designed by her son is not reliable, so she is very entangled.

This is like a classmate studying medicine in a class, people can't trust his medical skills, after all, you have seen him in private and lose the chain in class, etc. It is not reliable.

Chen Jingyi: "…"

"You go to more classes and listen more to the teacher's words, so as not to build a dilapidated house in the future."

Chen Jingyi was helpless: "Mom, I don't build dilapidated houses."

Architectural designers do not harm the home, if even the simple house in the home is built into a dilapidated house, how can the building be designed?

"Just an ordinary small western-style building, even if you don't find a designer, you can build it casually and it won't collapse, right?"

Qin Mian said: "That's not certain, after all, there is a strong typhoon on our island."

…

When Qin Rou listened to their mother and son on the phone, she felt very funny.

Speaking of Qin Mian's pursuit of stability, she sometimes has a lot of ideas: "There is a revolving restaurant in the building in Guangcheng! Can we set up one at home?"

Chen Jingyi: "...It's not necessary." The revolving restaurant in the high-rise building is used to overlook the scenery.

"Jing Yi, will you come back this New Year?"

"Well, auntie, when the time comes, I will ask someone to help me grab a train ticket."

"Come back with your brother."

Chen Jingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "My brother is talking to him now."

Qin Mian on the other end of the phone was about to explode, and Qin Rou was also shocked, but thinking about Chen Jinghua's age, it was indeed the right person to talk to.

Hang up the phone, Qin Mian was excited and anxious in front of her sister Qin Rou: "I, I,...Amei, do you think your sister and I are going to be a grandma?"

Qin Rou can't help laughing: "Even if Jinghua gets married next year, you will have to wait another year or two before you can become a grandma."

"Amy, you are still so beautiful, you can still go to the beauty pageant, how come you and I are going to be a grandma."

"Then you—are you not my aunt?"

"Oh, what a beautiful aunt!"

Qin Rou: "..." She is only in her thirties, she is thirty-two now, and she will be thirty-three next year, so she will be upgraded to a grandmother?

"Sister, don't think too fast, people are just talking about people at the moment, not getting married. When Jinghua brings people back in the future, you will be in a hurry."

Qin Mian sighed: "I'm so anxious when someone brings it back, he can do whatever he likes. When my brother-in-law met you, a little pepper, I didn't even think about it. married."

Qin Rou was expressionless: "brother-in-law met a hot girl in the mountains back then, and he married without even thinking about it."

"Lu Yan doesn't like spicy food, so I don't cook him spicy food. Sister, you often cook some Mapo Tofu Spicy Shrimp for your brother-in-law—"

Qin Mian: “…”

Chen Mian, who just came back, heard the sisters chatting and said helplessly: "It's more difficult for me to be my brother-in-law."

I have married a hot girl, why can my brother-in-law Lu Yan live a happy eating life after marriage.

Every time I think about Principal Chen, I feel envious and jealous.

Qin Mian said with disgust: "After so many years, you still can't get used to peppercorns, but it's really worthless."

Qin Rou said to the side: "The pepper grown on our island is delicious. Sister, sprinkle more pepper when you cook and cook noodles."

Chen Mian tutted twice: "You two sisters are both worrying."

"The people on the island are still smart, you see, even the hotter yellow peppers can be made sweet for you."

At the end of the year, Chen Juanjuan came back first, and when she came back, she brought a young female friend, Chen Juanjuan didn't say hello this time, but quit her job as an English teacher, she plans to return to Work on Qiongzhou Island.

Feng Yulan, a friend beside her, has been persuading her: "Are you really not an English teacher? This is a public teacher from a good school, and a decent and good job that everyone envies."

Most people think that a woman is the most suitable for being a teacher. Being a teacher is the most stable and comfortable job. Most in-laws like a daughter-in-law who is a teacher. Very homely.

Chen Juanjuan shook her head: "I originally thought that I was just like my father, suitable to be a teacher, but I recently thought about it seriously, the job of a teacher is not suitable for me."

"Is it because of Sun Ming?" Chen Juanjuan talked to Sun Ming at school, and later stayed in the north for him.

Chen Juanjuan secretly talked about a person in school, and she didn't tell her family. After graduation, she was assigned to be a teacher in a school in the capital. Sun Ming's family is also in the capital. His parents are very satisfied with Chen Juanjuan's work. But I don't really see her background from the South Island, I think it's too far away.

"Not really, I want to come back, no matter how much I persuade myself, I still can't accept that kind of life." As an English teacher, the teacher's job is indeed not difficult, I'm afraid What I am afraid of is this kind of life that sees the end.

Sun Ming's parents say that it is good to be a teacher, and let her marry her husband and teach children at home, which is a hidden value: the focus of your future life is to live Kids and with kids.

.

You don't need to work hard anymore, our family doesn't need you to make money, you, just be a bright teacher...

"How many girls can't envy such a day."

"Be content, you found our Sun Ming."

…

Although the Sun family's words showed her a "happy and easy life in the future", Chen Juanjuan felt uncomfortable.

Being a stable teacher? To be an obedient and sensible daughter-in-law in the Sun family? Still the kind of little daughter-in-law that everyone admires...

This kind of life is very easy, but it is not what Chen Juanjuan wants to live. She struggled for several months and finally decided to resign as a teacher. For this reason, Sun Ming also chose to follow She broke up.

Chen Juanjuan has no regrets. After separating from Sun Ming, she felt a lot more relaxed. Maybe she didn't want to live the life of a good wife and mother.

When I was admitted to the university, the economy had not opened up for a long time, and I was a student, and I couldn't get in touch with the outside world. Many of Chen Juanjuan's cognitions were ignorant, so I felt that being a teacher would be a Life is a good choice, grandpa and father are both teachers.

After experiencing college life and seeing the changes in society in the past few years, Chen Juanjuan has more and more awareness of the world, and she begins to feel that being a teacher is not the job she most desires to do .

It's too bland, she's afraid of this kind of day that can be seen at a glance.

Although many people kept her, Chen Juanjuan quit her job as an English teacher.

"Juanjuan, you are going back to Qiongzhou Island. I heard that there is no winter and no snow on Qiongzhou Island?"

"Yes, I've never seen snow on the island."

Feng Yulan is a friend of Chen Juanjuan. I heard that she quit her job and returned to Qiongzhou Island. She couldn't help being curious about Qiongzhou Island. She also followed her south to the southernmost Qiongzhou Island, wanting to experience winter. South Island life.

The two went south all the way, and the clothes on their bodies became less and less. When the two of them got on the train, it was snowing in the capital. The two were wrapped in thick clothes and took off their clothes all the way south. City, there are only two pieces left on the body, and then arrive at Qiongzhou Island by boat.

Chen Juanjuan is not seasick, Feng Yulan vomited on the boat, and kept mumbling: "I'm on a pirate ship..."

Are you on a pirate ship? She knew that Qiongzhou Island was far away, but she didn't expect it to be so far away. She had to take a train or a boat, but she was still seasick. On the way, she wanted to retreat several times, but she thought that all of them had come, could it be? Shouldn't we go to the ends of the earth to see it?

She came here on the pirate ship all the way.

After getting off the boat, the sun was shining brightly, Feng Yulan took off her coat and covered her body, sighing: "This... is this really not summer?"
