The scope of the Bamboo Sea tourist area is huge, not just ordinarily big!
Lin Jie and others have been here for three to four days, wandering around constantly every day, yet they've explored less than a tenth of the area.
However, the scenery of the Bamboo Sea is relatively monotonous; it's just bamboo after bamboo.
The ethnic song and dance performances, after being watched several times, have lost their novelty.
An Kemeng got a bit bored and began to clamor to start the hiking trip early, wanting to see the waterfalls and go camping.
Lin Jie, on the other hand, really enjoyed this leisurely lifestyle.
When he wasn't well, his days were even more relaxed than now.
However, at that time, he didn't have the slightest mood to enjoy life.
Now, Lin Jie has developed a mood to enjoy life and has the means to do so.
One day after lunch, Lin Jie lay on a recliner, enjoying the tranquility of the forest, closing his eyes for a nap.
Suddenly, he felt an itch in his nostrils, and when he opened his eyes, he saw two small hands quickly withdrawing, dropping the grass leaves they were holding in panic.
Lin Jie said helplessly, "Miaomiao, Kemeng, you are both adults now, still playing children's games?"
He then asked in confusion, "Weren't you with Kexin and Sister Xiaoxiao, taking part in a beauty treatment with a mud bath or something? Done so soon?"
Lin Miao shook her head and said, "The mud bath looks pretty disgusting. Kemeng and I are so young, we don't need exfoliation, so we came to find you."
An Kemeng pouted and said, "Brother Jie, you're lying here sleeping, what a waste of time. We are here to travel, to make full use of our limited time and see more scenery."
Lin Jie snorted and said, "The way you travel is just skimming over the surface, not gaining anything and just suffering."
"Think about it, at each spot you take a few snapshots, then rush to the next spot. Is there any substantial difference from watching travel programs on TV?"
"Like me, leisurely savoring nature, is the real way to travel."
An Kemeng snorted and said, "That sounds reasonable enough."
"But..."
She mocked, "Brother Jie, lying here resting and sleeping in the comfy big bed at home, I don't see the fundamental difference."
Lin Miao nodded in agreement and then advised, "Brother, I also feel there's nothing to see in the Bamboo Sea and National Village anymore. Let's follow the creek upstream and see the waterfall, shall we?"
"The scenery along the way is beautiful, the waterfall even more so, and camping will be fun too."
Lin Jie sat up and said, "This hiking trip is the final planned project you organized! After completing it, we're heading home."
"What, are you getting homesick and planning to go back early?"
Lin Miao and An Kemeng each took an arm of Lin Jie, "Brother, Kemeng and I discussed it, we can go back to the provincial capital of Chuansi Province and play there for a few days."
"A provincial capital is bound to have a few interesting spots."
Lin Jie sighed and shook his head, "You two are still young!"
"When you've gained a few more years of experience in society, you'll realize how rare and precious places as tranquil and beautiful as the Bamboo Sea actually are."
"That sounds like you're much older than you really are," An Kemeng said discontentedly.
Lin Miao added more assertively, "Brother, remember, by birth time, you're only a few minutes older than me. If calculated by gestation time, I'm actually the elder sister here."
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll discuss with Kexin and Sister Xiaoxiao at dinner."
"If they don't object, we can revise the travel schedule slightly earlier."
An Kemeng grinned and said, "Brother Jie, didn't you realize once you decide, my sister and Sister Xiaoxiao never disagree?"
"Once you make the decision, it's settled."
"Even if that's the case…"
Just as Lin Jie was about to elaborate, his phone suddenly rang, and it was a call from Ye Peihua.
This was the first call he had received from Ye Peihua.
No smoke without fire, Lin Jie indicated for Lin Miao and An Kemeng to be quiet, then answered the call.
Ye Peihua's voice came out from the phone, "Expert Lin, I'm really sorry to interrupt your vacation. Is it convenient to talk now?"
"Convenient, just go ahead with what you have to say."
Ye Peihua explained over the phone, "It's like this, I'm having quite an in-depth discussion with the top officials of two Chinese Super League teams right now."
"At this point, they hope I can present some concrete achievements to show that I truly have the capabilities to help the teams develop better and faster."
"In such a situation, I have no choice but to seek your guidance, Expert Lin."
Lin Jie replied softly, "We are partners now, allies on the same front. Mr. Ye, you don't need to be so polite."
Ye Peihua's tone came through the phone animatedly, "Thank you for your understanding, Expert Lin. It's like this..."
"I've gathered the records of dozens of football stars or prodigies who retired due to injuries."
He said excitedly, "These players are still in their prime, and have been away from the field for less than two years."
"If their injuries are recovered, with only a few more months or a year of training, I believe they could regain their original strength."
"I'd like to invite you, Expert Lin, to review their medical records and select the ones with injuries that are more likely to fully recover."
"I will make arrangements here to establish binding cooperation agreements with these stars, conditioned on their injury recovery."
Ye Peihua confidently smiled through the phone, saying, "These cooperation agreements are the concrete achievements I can present."
"Of course, the team executives might not believe my guarantee, or think these retired stars can fully recover..."
"In this case, I'm sure the team executives would be happy to sign agreements of such a nature like a wager with me!"
"After all, no matter how the agreement turns out, they won't lose out..."
Hearing this, Lin Jie couldn't help interrupting and asked, "Young Master Ye, do you have such faith in my judgment and skills?"
"If I make an erroneous judgment or fail to deliver, wouldn't your loss be at least in the billions?"
Ye Peihua laughed heartily and said, "Expert Lin, I forgot to tell you, my aunt's vision has recovered to the point where she can now clearly see objects within five meters and has become largely independent."
"Several ophthalmology experts have said it's a medical miracle."
"Expert Lin, there have been so many miracles occurring with you, so..."
Ye Peihua asserted confidently, "I trust you, absolutely trust you. And of course, even if due to unforeseeable factors it ultimately fails, it's okay, I can afford to lose these billions."
"So, Expert Lin, you need not feel any mental pressure whatsoever."
How could there be no mental pressure?
Lin Jie thought, if he actually caused Ye Peihua a loss of billions, his attitude surely wouldn't be as nonchalant as it is now.
However, pressure brings motivation, and Lin Jie also needs some external pressure to push himself to keep improving.
He responded calmly, "Mr. Ye, please send the medical records of these individuals to my email. I'll scrutinize them and give you an answer soon."
