My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 231 Changes in Half a Month

They waited until December 10th, when the weather turned completely cold.

However, this year is a mild winter, and even at the beach, Zhou Miao only wore a knitted sweater and a light down jacket.

The current daily temperature is between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, and you may even feel hot if you wear too many clothes at noon.

During this period, Zhou Miao rarely went to sea.

One problem is that the wind is too strong, making the experience of going out to sea in a fishing boat very poor.

In addition, Zhou Miao knew that after buying the new boat, he would be at sea every day and would hardly have time to spend with Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao, so he spent most of his time obediently staying at the fish raft.

The turtle enclosure project has been changed to a railing, allowing customers to stand on the railing to view the turtles. A wishing well has also been added.

A sea turtle is a turtle, what's wrong with making a wish?

However, with the weather getting colder, the tourism industry in Nanzhen inevitably enters its off-season.

Even on Zhou Miao's side, the number of tourists on a regular basis can only be maintained at around twenty, and on weekdays there have been cases of only ten or so people.

But the food stalls finally started a one-week trial operation, and they were incredibly popular every night.

However, during the trial operation period, the dishes are discounted, so even if it's busy, there's not much profit to be made. We'll have to wait until the official opening to know the specific business situation.

Pei Yunxi has been coming to visit him frequently lately, but she doesn't stay close to him; she just goes to see Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao.

Her guesthouse is almost finished and she's currently adding furniture, but it won't officially open until March next year.

During this period, whenever the weather was nice, she would come over to open the window and air out the smell.

If we hadn't specifically hired someone to remove the formaldehyde and odor, the opening date would have had to be extended.

Just when Zhou Miao thought he would need to rest for a while longer, Yu Muzhou finally sent a message.

He successfully acquired the secondhand new ship for 3.5 million, and he contributed 2 million.

Besides contributing 30%, Yu Muzhou also advanced the rest of the funds.

Therefore, Zhou Miao successfully entered the era of famine, and the debts he had originally paid off were once again burdened with 450,000 yuan.

Fortunately, this money doesn't require interest payments; it can be repaid to Yu Muzhou whenever it becomes available.

In fact, the money could be taken from the fishing raft, but Zhou Miao planned to use his year-end bonus to start a homestay business.

To this end, he even opened a studio specifically for legal tax avoidance.

As my business grows, starting a company is inevitable, but setting up a studio to run first is a good idea.

This is where Lu Xiaoxiao, a college student with excellent grades, came in handy. Although she didn't major in accounting, she diligently studied online and quickly mastered the basic rules of legal tax avoidance.

The accounts of the two fishing rafts were kept clear, so Zhou Miao hired another waitress to replace her daily work.

These are the changes that have occurred in the past two weeks. However, after receiving a call from Yu Muzhou, Zhou Miao immediately took Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian and set off to pick up the boat.

"The new ship has arrived. Brother Miao, are you getting ready to go out to sea again?" Lu Xiaoxiao sat properly in the back seat with her legs together, her long, straight black stockings clad in them.

"Isn't that obvious!" Luo Qianqian retorted. "Ah Miao has been talking about going to the open sea every day lately. Do you think he can resist once the ship arrives?"

"Neither of us two beautiful women is as important as his ship."

Zhou Miao laughed heartily, "You are my dear wives, how can a mere boat compare to you?"

"And this time it's a recreational fishing boat, so you can come out to sea with me! There's Wi-Fi, so you won't get bored if you go for a few days."

The previous fishing boat was too dilapidated and small, with no place to sleep, so Zhou Miao naturally wouldn't take them along.

Now that they have new equipment, he would wholeheartedly support them coming if they wanted to.

Now that the fish raft business is not busy and they have hired an extra person, Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao are already free and can go wherever they want.

"Let's forget it, it's good for the two of us to rest." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes when she saw Zhou Miao's smug smile.

But now she has no problem with Zhou Miao's philandering, because if she has even the slightest objection, she'll be overjoyed!

She secretly rubbed her slightly sore lower back. Knowing that he was going to pick up the boat today, Luo Qianqian was actually relieved.

Knowing that he would set sail as soon as he got the boat, I thought it would be a good time for him to rest.

This time, Zhou Miao drove himself to the secondhand market, and the boat was still moored in the same old spot.

But after half a month, the once pristine white ship was noticeably dirtier.

Apparently, the original owner had the boat cleaned last time because a buyer came to see it.

For the past two weeks, no one has inquired about the boat, but he has been driven to desperation by debt collectors.

If he doesn't get some money soon, his house will be taken away and auctioned off.

There are holes everywhere. Although the 3.5 million won't solve the problem, it will buy him time to deal with other assets.

Selling this ship cheaply would result in the least loss compared to other assets.

Selling this ship cheaply would result in the least loss compared to other assets.

Yu Muzhou was already waiting there. He was slightly surprised to see Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian, but he still greeted them with a smile.

The middle-aged man wasn't surprised to see Zhou Miao arrive with two girlfriends.

This situation is common in the world of the wealthy, especially in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.

One building was given to the eldest son's wife, while the other building was occupied by the second wife.

He has as many wives as he owns buildings.

In the past, when building houses in rural areas, the number of floors would be determined by the number of wives the house had.

So the middle-aged man didn't care about that; instead, he was eager to complete the transfer procedures so he could get the money as soon as possible.

"This boat is pretty cool!" Upon seeing the boat, Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao were immediately attracted by the rather luxurious-looking fishing boat.

The boat is just over twenty meters long, making people appear exceptionally small when they are near it.

"You two go on the boat for a tour. Zhou and I will go to the fisheries administration office to complete the formalities first." Seeing that the two women were interested in the boat, Zhou Miao let them stay.

"Go ahead, let's go aboard and see how we need to set it up."

Since it's their own boat, and Zhou Miao doesn't handle operations or manage people, it's their private space, which they can decorate as they like.

After completing the formalities, the middle-aged man saw the money transfer and left without any joy on his face.

Yu Muzhou then smiled at Zhou Miao and said, "Now that you have the boat, when are you planning to set sail?"

"Of course we need to set things up first, and be ready before we set off. Brother Zhou, you should also buy some daily necessities and put them up there. How about you keep the room at the bow of the boat?"

"You have two girlfriends, so the room with only one double bed is perfect for you. I'll just stay in any room, the one closest to the bathroom!"

"Wouldn't this be too unfair to you?"

"What's there to complain about? I don't go out to sea often. Besides, the overall decoration of this boat is quite good, and the lower bunks are all 1.5 meters high, so it's not cramped when you sleep."

Since Yu Muzhou had said so, Zhou Miao naturally had no objections.

The room at the bow of the ship is just right for him; after all, three people sleeping together need a larger bed.

Back at the trading market, Lu Xiaoxiao and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Once aboard the ship and into the living room, I saw them sitting on the sofa, talking to each other on their phones, seemingly about ordering decorations they wanted online.

Upon seeing them return, Luo Qianqian eagerly asked, "Have all the documents been processed?"

"Yes, everything's taken care of. In the next few days, we'll properly set up this fishing boat that belongs to us." Zhou Miao took out the keys and nodded with a smile.

"What about the rooms? How should we arrange them?" Luo Qianqian asked the question that she and Lu Xiaoxiao were most concerned about.

They looked at the rooms and felt that the room at the bow of the boat was the most suitable for the three of them, but Yu Muzhou also owned a share of the boat, so they didn't know how the two men would divide it up.

If Zhou Miao chooses the dormitory-style room, then she plans to persuade Zhou Miao to renovate it.

They can't possibly sleep in three beds, leaving one for the baby to grow, can they?
