Actually, this was a kind of borrowing power for influence technique, and the fact that Tanimoto Ichiro could think of this just showed that he was indeed an old fox.

Although the cruise was a bit slow, Wang Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to arrive. Speaking of which, Wang Xiaoqiang had never been on a cruise in his life and hadn't traveled much either, which, for someone with assets worth tens or hundreds of billions, was somewhat regrettable.

Wang Xiaoqiang had only a junior high school education, not much knowledge, and wasn't very enlightened. Life in this world was about food and enjoyment. Once his basic needs were met, all that was left was enjoyment: enjoying power, enjoying money, enjoying...

Well, taking a luxury cruise to Australia seemed like a nice choice, especially with two female servants who looked as beautiful and graceful as flowers attending to him. Yes, not bad. Tanimoto Ichiro's suggestion had won Wang Xiaoqiang's approval, and he agreed to it on the spot.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang agree, Tanimoto Ichiro seemed very excited, but Wang Xiaoqiang's next words made him feel quite depressed. "Alright, Tanimoto Ichiro, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to find a super-large and luxurious cruise liner, but the tickets for the four of us...you'll be buying them."

You stingy little peasant!

Tanimoto Ichiro cursed inwardly but dared not show the slightest bit of it on his face as he nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll take care of it right away..."

Although the tickets were paid for by Tanimoto Ichiro, because he wanted to gamble, he still ended up choosing a super-large luxury cruise. This was an international cruise, initially intended to meet international governmental reception standards, designed with an environment that met hotel standards.

Subsequently, as the number of Southeast Asian Chinese returning to the country for visits increased, the domestic international tourism industry entered a golden age of rapid development starting in 2010.

This international cruise liner was no longer just for international voyaging. It gradually evolved into a sightseeing and luxury cruise that offered accommodations, meals, services and also had higher requirements for entertainment programming, tour management, and private spaces compared to domestic cruise ships.

The rooms on the international cruise were all built to a four-star national standard and above. The rooms were divided into standard rooms, deluxe suites, and presidential suites, with standard rooms being chosen by 80% of the customers. The dining options on the international cruise were very diverse, featuring a buffet that combined Chinese and Western dishes. During the journey, afternoon tea, bars, and cafés were all operating normally.

Additionally, providing every room with private balconies and adding high-end entertainment options like Taiji, Chinese painting, yoga, and the captain's welcome party were the most important competitive strategies of the international cruise. The cruise was divided into four categories: four-star, five-star, super five-star, and top level. Because the meals on the international cruise were all inclusive, the total cost for a four-star cruise was roughly equivalent to the total cost for a higher-class cabin on a domestic cruise.

On the surface, that was it. As for gambling, of course, it was conducted clandestinely. After all, aren't all gambling activities carried out in a covert manner except for some public casinos?

The four of them were in the first-class cabin. This first-class cabin was equivalent to a four-bedroom apartment, complete with everything except a kitchen. It had a living room, bedrooms, and all the essentials.

Of course, there were even better and bigger rooms available, but Tanimoto Ichiro was unwilling to book them.

Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't particular; as long as the room was livable, it was fine. From the time he got on board, his daily life was taken care of by Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki, just like he was attended to by Spirit Servant Little Bai at his Bordeaux Farm in the United States.

Tasks including squeezing toothpaste, washing clothes, and polishing shoes, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't do himself. Although it was initially hard for Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki to adapt to such tasks, especially the first time when both women rushed to make his bed and left stripping him to the other, Wang Xiaoqiang saw what was happening but said nothing. In the end, the more agile Miyazaki Yuki got the bed-making task first, and Chiba Keiko was left to help Wang Xiaoqiang out of his clothes.

By then, Miyazaki Yuki had also made the bed and was about to timidly slip away.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang coldly said, "Come back."

Miyazaki Yuki obediently returned and knelt down in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.

Tanimoto Ichiro had run off somewhere to gamble; Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't seen him since they boarded the ship. After taking a short nap, Chiba Keiko helped him get dressed. It was getting dark, and Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to go up on deck. Chiba Keiko offered to accompany him, but Wang Xiaoqiang declined.

He could tell that the two women still harbored reservations about him. If real danger arose, they might not be willing to help him; instead, they might take the opportunity to harm him. Although he was not afraid, having such followers wasn't ideal, especially since he was actually hoping to meet some beautiful women. He had seen the international beauties on board when he boarded, and he thought perhaps there could be a romantic encounter tonight.

He left the room and went up to the deck, where a grand party was being held on the cruise.

Men and women gathered on the open deck, the tables were set, the lights dazzled, the music soared, and under the influence of alcohol, everyone began to dance. Naturally, the weather wasn't too cold, and the women had discarded most of their clothes, wearing only short skirts or something similar. Some were down to bikinis.

Wang Xiaoqiang joined in, blending into the crowd, constantly rubbed against by dancing women. Suddenly, a blue-eyed big lady backed against him.

Unable to endure such a dancing posture, Wang Xiaoqiang pushed her away.

The woman didn't get annoyed, but instead turned around and gave Wang Xiaoqiang a seductive smile. Then, another black girl approached; her figure was incredibly hot. As she moved closer to Wang Xiaoqiang, constantly swaying her waist and bumping into him, although this black girl was quite attractive, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't have a taste for her, showing no interest in this black girl. So, after she bumped into him a few times, Wang Xiaoqiang dodged away...

Wang Xiaoqiang had been approached by several women, yet he hadn't found one to his liking. Thus, he simply returned to his table, where he started drinking and enjoying the seascape at night.

The deep blue sky was dotted with stars, and the sea looked like a vast piece of jade. It was incredibly spectacular.

A fair-skinned, blue-eyed young girl appeared in front of Zhang Cheng and extended her hand, saying, "Sir, may I have the pleasure of a dance with you..."

Wang Xiaoqiang looked up at the young girl and was immediately surprised. This girl appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen, but her figure was quite mature, developed like a young woman. However, her face still retained some greenness and naivety. Undoubtedly, she was the most beautiful girl Wang Xiaoqiang had seen on the deck, in other words, the most beautiful foreign young girl he had ever seen.

Even more beautiful than Mikoer!

Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang accepted her invitation.

The two danced a dance.

The girl spoke Mandarin very well, which greatly surprised Wang Xiaoqiang. She said she had lived in China for three years, so her Mandarin was quite good. She said her name was Jenny, and she was returning to her native Australia with her parents.

After the dance, the girl directly invited Wang Xiaoqiang to her room for a cup of coffee, saying it was too chaotic here.

Wang Xiaoqiang did not refuse.

It was apparent that this girl was not one of those who lived a dissolute life. She seemed very clean, and he felt she wasn't dirty.

Arriving at her room, Wang Xiaoqiang discovered it wasn't just one room, but several, more spacious than his own. It must have been the most luxurious room in the first class.

"Jenny, where are your parents..."

Jenny replied, "They are still on the deck..."

While talking, she went on to make coffee...

After the coffee was ready, Jenny poured two cups, brought them over, and the two of them sat down to drink slowly.

During the coffee, Wang Xiaoqiang learned about Jenny's family,

Jenny's family was very prominent. Her father was a governor in Australia, and her mother came from a powerful family.

After finishing the coffee, Wang Xiaoqiang stood up to leave, but Jenny suddenly grabbed him and said, "Stay with me tonight..."

Foreign girls, indeed, tend to be more liberal...

However, Wang Xiaoqiang was hesitant as her parents would soon be returning. Jenny, seeming to notice Wang Xiaoqiang's reluctance, smiled playfully and winked at him, "Why are all you Chinese boys so shy? Don't worry... my parents won't interfere in my private life..."

"This, isn't this, too abrupt..." Wang Xiaoqiang felt uncomfortable, thinking girls that are too liberal must not be pure, and he wasn't interested in girls who seemed too dirty.

Unexpectedly, Jenny said, "Wang, I like you. Although we haven't known each other for long, just a short while, I genuinely like you. In my three years in China, I didn't find any boys I liked, but on my way back home, I finally found a boy I like, Wang. The moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you; that's why I approached you for the dance..."

Listening to Jenny's words, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt as if everything around him wasn't real, feeling as if he was living inside a novel.
