Big Data Cultivation Chapter 735

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Let the wicked grind themselves Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Let the wicked grind themselves Director Guo, before leaving in a hurry, didn't forget to glare at them fiercely.

His gaze fell on Zhang Caixin, and he even lewdly raised a middle finger at her!

He left, but the owner of the broken camera refused to go; he demanded Sister Hong compensate him for his loss.

Without a word, Sister Hong pulled out ten thousand US dollars and tossed it onto the beach, “Is that enough?”

The man was somewhat bewildered, wondering where this bikini-clad beauty had produced ten thousand dollars from when he saw her bending over to pick up the camera, raising her arm, and throwing it straight into the sea.

A camera is a precision instrument; getting soaked in seawater means it's done for, especially the memory card inside, which would be impossible to recover.

However, Sister Hong's caprice also caused a bit of trouble. Some Siam employees, hearing the commotion, came running to take her away for punishment.

It's funny, those from Siam. They knew perfectly well that two groups of Huaxia citizens were fighting, yet they didn't interfere; but throwing a camera into the sea, they believed it to be polluting the environment, requiring a heavy penalty.

Of course, their logic isn't entirely unreasonable. The waters around the small island generate a massive amount of domestic garbage every day, even forming a garbage belt. Some people specialize in salvaging trash to maintain the environment here.

Sister Hong was a bit embarrassed, but whether it was Yang Yuxin or Feng Jing, they all thought the other side's request was justified. Even Zhang Caixin, the sister herself, thought, after hearing the other side's reasons, that Sister Hong's actions had somewhat tarnished the image of her fellow countrymen.

But Gu Jiahui's English was fluent. She stepped forward to negotiate for a while, saying we were upset because we had been secretly photographed — could we retrieve the camera now?

The Siam people were still insistent. Even after Feng Jun had retrieved the camera and pulled out another ten thousand Thai baht, they were determined to take Sister Hong away.

Feng Jun lost his temper too, “Go to hell! We came here to enjoy ourselves. It was an unintentional mistake driven by circumstances. We are willing to pay a fine, but are you not done yet… do you believe I would expose you?”

How to explain this situation? Both sides had their reasons. Sister Hong did it out of anger, and the waterlogged camera was the only sure way to guarantee their pictures wouldn't be leaked.

Feng Jun believed that without soaking the camera, taking possession of the other party's memory card would surely lead to another dispute. Throwing it directly into the sea was also less troublesome. As for pollution? We've retrieved the camera and are willing to compensate appropriately.

But Gu Jiahui's approach was even more straightforward and brutal. She directly opened the Weibo app on her mobile phone, “Look at the people I've followed. This one with ten million followers, this one with over eight million… do you really want us to expose you?”

At her age, she was in the prime time for idol worshipping. Whoever she followed, if she wanted them to take a little notice of her… was really too simple, just a matter of a little greeting.

Feng Jun watched her maneuver and felt a bit envious… Although I practice cultivation, it seems my number of followers isn't enough.

Believe it or not, there are actually those in Siam who know about Weibo, but that's hardly surprising. More than half the foreign tourists in Siam are Huaxia citizens. When they come here, they spend generously, constantly buying things; even the small stands have WeChat official accounts.

After Sister Hong erupted, she felt that she had lowered the average quality of her fellow countrymen. Thus, she also made a point, “If Siam can't ensure female tourists are free from harassment, I will advertise for you when I return to my country!”

She was decisive, opening an online banking app, “Look at how much money is up there, it's a six-figure sum… in Huaxia currency, which you'll have to multiply by five to convert to Thai baht.”

If the people of Siam could still stand by their convictions after this, Feng Jun would respect them greatly and honor their decision.

But the Siam people backed off immediately and, after accepting his ten thousand Thai baht, demanded an additional two thousand as a tip.

So, under the banner of environmental protection, seeing an easy target, they wanted to squeeze them, gaining substantial benefits while troubling the other party, hence their intransigent faces.

As for the grievances suffered by Sister Hong and her party, they had no interest in understanding them at all.

This might also be the conflict of different cultures. The Siam people knew the other party had the powerful capacity to create public opinion, which could affect their own tourism industry. Knowing they were not short of money, they bowed.

After all, this is a capitalistic society, and the tourism industry is the bread and butter of Siam people.

However, the final two thousand they collected as a tip had everyone looking at the Siam people with contempt — that was all they amounted to.

That was the end of the affair, but Sister Hong was quite angry, feeling she had been wronged.

As a person in society, she cared most about clear conscience; how could she suffer such indignity?

She gave Feng Jun a look, “You have to avenge this for me. And then… you know I always take care of business properly.”

In Feng Jun's mind, four big characters flew by — “Sisters take flight.” He nodded solemnly, “Of course, you should hear the news soon.”

Just then, Yang Yuxin came over, “Although I've always believed that after going abroad, we should demonstrate the good qualities of Huaxia citizens, this Mr. Guo has thoroughly disgusted me… I guarantee, he'll return to his country in a foul mood.”

In fact, Director Guo's mood was quite terrible.

He suddenly suffered a sharp abdominal pain while at Golden Beach and hurried back, but as he crossed the street and entered the Hilton Resort, he could no longer hold it in, so he dove into a bush and only managed to say one thing, “Cover for me.”

After frantically relieving himself, he grabbed a nearby hose, rinsed off the seawater and sand from his body, then returned to his room.

But he had just returned when he suffered another bout of sharp abdominal pain and had to rush to the bathroom again…

He then considered that he might have eaten something bad; within half an hour, he went to the restroom three times.

People say that the street stalls in Bangkok are dangerous, and one can end up in the hospital if they're not careful – but Phuket Island should be clean, so why is this happening?

On his third exit from the restroom, he was faced with two uniformed men.

The two men had no expression on their faces – indeed, they shouldn't have any, because their purpose in being there was to inform the guest of the room: our surveillance revealed that you did something uncivilized half an hour ago…

Defecating in the wild isn't an issue; there are plenty of secluded places on Phuket Island where it's normal to take care of business. However, pooping in the neatly trimmed grass of the resort is a problem.

The nature of the issue wasn't very serious; the people of Siam thought it was much less serious than throwing electronics into the sea – the pollution to the ocean from electronics is really too severe.

But the problem is… the fine is steep. The security did some quick math: we won't take you away, just pay 20,000 baht.

You've ruined the picturesque resort and there is a need for clean-up; this price is not expensive.

In reality, it was very expensive. The price index in Siam dictates that they shouldn't charge so much, but who would discuss what should or shouldn't be at a time like this with Director Guo?

20,000 baht is equivalent to 4,000 Huaxia currency; Director Guo felt he had pooped out a high-priced pile.

But how to put it? Splendid Properties isn't short of money, as the saying goes – if money can solve the problem, then it isn't a problem.

However, it turned out that the issue Director Guo faced really wasn't something that could be solved with money; just after he had paid the fine, he rushed to the restroom once again.

He then began searching for hospitals everywhere – because even a hero couldn't withstand three bouts of diarrhea…

Director Guo hadn't considered that this was related to the eight young men and women; it wasn't something most people would connect with such a strange cause and effect.

The medical standards in Siam are actually quite advanced; he easily found a hospital, but unfortunately, the hospital couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

After tossing and turning all night in the hospital, he still couldn't stop the diarrhea…

Even more tragic was what happened the next day at noon when the Crown Prince of the Wen Family called, furiously demanding to know why he provoked the Gu Family People.

Gu Family People? Director Guo didn't even need to think about which Gu it could be; only that Gu could anger the Crown Prince so much.

That was indeed… walking straight into a big problem. The Wen Family might not fear the Gu Family, but Splendid Properties had projects in multiple cities, and in the territory of the Gu Family's influence, there was more than one project.

Real estate companies need to make money, and if the Gu Family People wanted to cause trouble, it would actually be very easy, barely using any political resources – it would be enough to just give you some difficulties and break your bankroll a bit.

When the Crown Prince called, it was because a project by Splendid Properties in a certain city was facing problems; the local government informed them that the garbage transfer station at the entrance of the residential area needed to be expanded.

The person in charge of the project was furious, stating that when we bought the land, you promised to shut down the garbage station.

This project was located next to a park, slightly off the beaten path but with great scenery, and Splendid Properties had positioned this community as a high-end residential area with pleasant views.

Backing onto a large lake, with a garbage transfer station in front of the community, Splendid Properties specifically mentioned before buying the land that the transfer station had to be moved.

Indeed, in large cities, the location of garbage transfer stations is really not easy; dealing with an existing garbage station is one thing, but the opposition from local residents would be significant when adding a new one.

The government had agreed readily at the time but also said that finding another location would take some time.

As both sides trusted each other, it was just a verbal agreement. This matter could be considered big or small; Splendid Properties didn't believe that they couldn't handle such a small matter on their own reputation.

But when the local people changed their tune, the chief person in charge of the project was completely baffled – What the hell, are you guys trying to start trouble?

We didn't intend to cause trouble, the local officials appeared innocent: it was agreed to set up a transfer station somewhere, but the opposition from the residents there was high, and it was difficult for us too…
