The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

57

The waves crashed, leaving a long, foamy trail, while the staff on the pier exchanged uncertain glances.

What now?

The two had left so quickly that the production team couldn't keep up, even with the speed of a yacht. Worst of all, only the yacht owner knew where they were headed.

In such a vast ocean, how were they supposed to find them?

The director was so anxious he was about to lose his temper when, fortunately, the owner of another yacht got in touch with the one ferrying Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, learning where they were headed.

To top it off, the yacht owner thoughtfully sent a photo of the two fishing together.

The picture only showed their backs, while the one grinning brightly in the foreground was none other than the yacht owner himself.

The director: "..."

Staring at the photo in silence for several long seconds, the director finally managed to say, "Please tell him that photos are fine, but they must be kept private until after the show airs."

The yacht owner's friend nodded cheerfully, messaging him and even asking if he could get a photo with He Jinyun later—his daughter was a big fan.

The director forced a smile, "We'll see about that."

After all, they hadn't even laid eyes on them yet!

The yacht owner's friend considered this, then nodded seriously and invited the crew to wait on his boat—a small cruise ship that could comfortably accommodate everyone.

It was scorching under the sun, after all. There was no sense in just standing around on the dock.

With a deep sigh, the director agreed, feeling that the suggestion made sense, and called for the staff to board and rest.

An hour passed, and just ten minutes before the dock was due to close, the yacht that had taken Ye Zexi and He Jinyun finally appeared on the horizon.

Relieved, the staff waiting at the dock relaxed as the yacht approached.

Gao Shu also exhaled in relief. He had rushed over after hearing an hour ago that Ye Zexi and He Jinyun had gone out to sea without any staff, scaring him half to death.

He was nervous for the entire hour and nearly called the police, but hearing that the production team had contacted the yacht owner and learned they were simply out fishing helped calm him down.

Yu Ye, who stood beside Gao Shu, also sighed in relief when he saw the two return, feeling the knot in his chest unwind.

Both the manager and the assistant exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

As soon as the yacht docked, the staff and the camera crew rushed over to greet the returning pair.

Filming resumed, and since neither of them seemed to be in any trouble, Gao Shu and Yu Ye stayed where they were.

However, Ye Zexi soon walked over, surrounded by a small crowd, and looked at the two, blinking in surprise.

"Eh? Assistant Gao, what are you doing here?"

Gao Shu: "..."

'Young master, I almost reported you missing to the police. What do you think?'

Taking a deep breath, Gao Shu was about to speak when Director Zhang approached. "Zexi, do you have a moment? There's something I need to discuss with you and He Jinyun."

Just then, He Jinyun walked over carrying a bucket filled with the spoils of the last hour and a half.

Yu Ye leaned in for a closer look and saw the bucket half-filled with fish, shrimp, and a few shells.
