Cinderella Story's
Cruise Party Boat

There's a party on the cruise in three days.

Xiao Zhan automatically smiled as he looked at the invitation lying on his brother's desk. The exclusive invitation of the fifty-year anniversary celebration of the establishment of the company for the employees where Xiao Yu worked. Since it was held on a cruise ship there would definitely be many conglomerates present, and that meant a pool of money for Xiao Zhan. The sweet young man's heart soared instantly. Her dream of becoming Cinderella will soon be fulfilled. This invitation is one way.

Xiao Zhan immediately met the older brother who was in the middle room. “Ge, I want to join this event,” he said without further ado.

Xiao Yu frowned at the invitation in Zhan's hands. “For what? You're too lazy to go.”

“Now I'm excited to go.”

“Tumben once.”

“You don't have a partner yet, do you? Let me go with you, huh, Ge? please ... let your sweet sister achieve her dream.”

“Jeez, so that's why you want to go,” Xiao Yu groans. “You intend to find a rich man in the party that you can marry. Don't dream. Get me a beer.”

"okay."

If Zhan would be lazy to do so, but since he had to persuade Xiao Yu, he took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and gave it to his brother.

“This.” Xiao Yu accepted it. “I'm coming, yes, Ge?” ask again.

Coming out of the kitchen, Madam Xiao was buzzing in the middle of the conversation of her two sons. He looked at the invitation in Xiao Zhan's hand and said, “That came must have brought the couple. Do you want to be third in someone's household?”

“Not really,” reply Xiao Zhan quickly.

“For example like my sister who has not managed to get ten years of this boyfriend, there is no way he brought a partner.”

“Damn you!” Xiao Yu cursed. “If insulting do not need to use talk ‘ten years’.”

“Kan is right,” said Xiao Zhan did not want to lose.

She still remembers the last time her sister dated was while still in college, which only lasted two years. After that, Xiao Yu had always failed to approach a woman until this point, and knew that ten years had passed.

Xiao Zhan had secretly felt sorry for his older brother, who had always failed to get into a relationship with any woman. Though Xiao Yu's face was beautiful. Yu's facial lines were more masculine than hers. High posture with slightly brownish skin. Her hair had just been cut short which actually confirmed the shape of her round head. It has wide ears, a pointed nose, thick black eyebrows over its round eyes. The upper body is perfectly formed thanks to the regular exercise in the gym every weekend.

Xiao Yu was not a stingy person, but he was also good at frugality. Good financial managers in their families. Mastering fluent English, as well as a little French. Well, because his job is a translator and assistant boss. Less what else? Xiao Zhan dared to guarantee that his brother had never committed physical violence, especially against women, because Xiao Yu loved their mother very much.

In his opinion, Xiao Yu was the ideal type of man but somehow had never managed to subdue a single woman in these ten years.

“Makanya gege can not take her partner, so just take me, huh, Ge? Please ..” Xiao Zhan put his hands together. “Your sister will be very grateful to you if you can marry a rich person later. Please ...”

Madam Xiao shook her head. “Yes, already, just take her, Yu. Otherwise, he would continue to whine at you like that. You won't be able to sleep it made.”

As Xiao Yu sighed, Zhan knew that he had obtained his wish. He was stubborn enough to get what he wanted.

“OK. You can come,” break up the sister.

“Hore!” Zhan jumped up in excitement.

“In exchange,” said Xiao Yu. “Please massage my shoulder first. Here a little sore.”

“No, ah, lazy. I'm tired. Want to sleep.” Leisurely, Xiao Zhan sauntered into his room, leaving the mother who let out a long sigh as well as the elder brother shaking their heads.

“She is only good if she wants,” nagging the mother. “Entah looks like who he is.”

Blue Skies, a cruise ship famous for its large, magnificent body, and very luxurious facilities. The people who can ride these cruises are just rich people who love to venture all over the world.

Facilities complete. Inside there is a spa, mall, cinema, casino, restaurant and bar as well as other refreshing places that make anyone feel at home on the ship even though for a long time.

The information Xiao Zhan obtained from the results of reading the websites of the rich. Before boarding the yacht, Xiao Zhan had been searching for information so that he would not look like a hickhead who had never boarded a cruise ship at all. Because he is targeting the rich, he must have adequate ammunition, namely knowledge of the luxurious lives of the rich in order to be commensurate.

Knowledge is its power. He should be grateful for being endowed with photogenic memory so that he can easily remember everything he has read by imagining it, like a photo sheet.

While stepping into the body of the ship, Xiao Zhan looked around him in a confident manner. He had always been confident, especially now that he was wearing an elegant black tuxedo complete with a bow tie, which became one of Xiao Yu's expensive clothes.

“Zhan Zhan, don't overdo it. Okay?” Xiao Yu patted his sister on the shoulder as he reminded.

“Ah, Gege. What am I going to do?”

Xiao Yu could not believe the mysterious smile that Zhan displayed on his sweet face. His sister can act out of the blue, even making a fuss. Zhan's guts were quite big in the face of something. Other mentions are reckless or impulsive—act without thinking long.

“Just remember what I said,” Xiao Yu stressed. “Do not until you stand out here.”

Xiao Zhan snorted nonchalantly as he stepped up to follow Xiao Yu, who then immediately joined the two coworkers who had called out as soon as he saw her coming. Zhan shrugged and decided to explore inside the ship alone while searching for his rich man.

...* * *...

Yibo had only arrived about five minutes ago when his eyes took aim at Xiao Zhan's presence among the newly arrived invited guests. Seeing the young man with a fly under his lips, Yibo immediately remembered the slap given as a memento of the young Chengdu boy—as well as the one thousand yuan money demanded by force.

The man's eyes followed Zhan's movements stopping inside a group and stood listening to the conversation there. Yibo wondered what the young man was doing on this cruise ship? There must have been a friend or relative who brought him here.

Yibo noticed Zhan's appearance from top to bottom. Like magic, the sweet young man Yibo saw three days ago in shabby clothes turned into a rich man. From ugly duckling to goose. Although the tuxedo worn was no more expensive than hers, it was quite classy, including her shoes.

The further Zhan observed, the more Yibo was very curious about the person behind the young man. His attitude and attitude are very optimistic. There was no gap for others to see him as an innocent person.

“Si Cheng.” Yibo called out to the assistant who continued to be beside him. “Please find me information about that person.” His head pointed towards Zhan who was now busy chatting casually with another group of five people.

Si Cheng corrected the location of his glasses so that he could see more clearly the person appointed by Yibo.

“Young Master, isn't he ..”

“Thank God you remember. He's a 1000 yuan young man who met us in Chengdu. Investigate his entire background.”

“All in all, Young Master?” Cheng did not believe his hearing.

Yibo nodded. “All!” He emphasized before moving from his place to Xiao Zhan.

Once nearby, Yibo could hear Xiao Zhan telling him about his world-wide experience in response to the stories of other men in the group.

“So you've been to Egypt?” ask a girl in the group.

“Hmn!” Xiao Zhan nodded steadily. “I was only about three days there. You guys know why? because it's so hot in there! I can't stand the heat, but the Sphinx statue in Giza is incredible. You should see it once in a lifetime.”

The deeply convincing story immediately captivated his audience, while Yibo snorted behind him.

“Where did you go in Egypt?” asked the other man with a curious expression.

Zhan's memory soon conjures up page-by-page images of the World Tour magazine he reads.

“Hatshepsut Temple’s Mortuary located across the Nile River is an incredible tomb building. Do you know who Hatshepsut is?” Everyone who was asked shook their heads. “He is the fifth Pharaoh. The most successful female pharaoh in Egypt, who reigned longer than any female ruler in an Egyptian dynasty

“Then I also went to ...”

Yibo had to admit that Xiao Zhan was a great storyteller. He can bring his story so enchanting that it is pleasant to hear the ear.

When a waiter passed by carrying a tray of drinks, Yibo stopped him and took one glass from it. After saying thank you, the waiter went around.

“Drink first.” Yibo thrust one glass of cold water at Xiao Zhan. “You must be thirsty after a long time of telling,” he added.

Yibo's interruption diverted Xiao Zhan's attention to the man who was smiling at him. A smile that mocked Zhan's lies.

The sweet young man immediately gulped and he only realized that his throat was dry after a long time of telling. However, that is not all that makes Zhan's body stiffen when he meets Yibo. The problem is, he did not expect to meet the man he had slapped and jahili after taking a thousand yuan from the man's wallet.

What's-her-name? Zhan did not remember that the man had mentioned his name, but if the assistant who was standing not far from the man, Xiao Zhan remembered. His name was Si Cheng when the rich man yelled at him after he kicked his face intentionally in the car.

Die me. Xiao Zhan felt his blood slowly shrink from his face as well as his body.

As Zhan stared fixedly at Yibo, the people in the group greeted the man.

“Can I join?” the man asked, inserting a glass stalk into Zhan's hand, telling the young man to hold it.

“I'm interested in Egypt.”

“You've never been there, Mr Wang?” asked one of the men whose body was as tall as Yibo in the group.

Yibo. “Not yet. But after hearing a little bit of it now I'm drawn to it.”

“You're right,” says another man. “I also feel like going there right now.”

“Maybe we can ask him to be our guide during in Egypt.”

Yibo was clearly mocking him. Just look at that annoying-looking smile for Xiao Zhan. Looking at the man, Xiao Zhan was instantly no longer interested in being in the group. Better to escape and avoid it, he muttered inwardly as he sipped the drink the man offered him. The cold water that swept the throat immediately relaxed his body.

Time to escape. There are many reasons why Zhan should stay away from Yibo. The first and foremost is to avoid the man's revenge for what happened to him in Chengdu, because of Zhan's actions.

“Sorry, I have to go to the restroom.”

That was how Xiao Zhan got out of the group. Regardless of Yibo's gaze on him, he waltzed away towards the restroom that was at the end of the deck.

Xiao Zhan secretly knew that Yibo was following him but he remained calm. Yibo couldn't possibly make a fuss at this party because the man was indeed very classy. However, men like himself also have one weakness, namely the press. Medes. Every rich person is afraid of the news that will appear in the media, which at any time can damage their reputation. Therefore, Zhan can ensure that Yibo will not take actions that can damage his good image.

Xiao Zhan walked into the restroom casually. Unfortunately, Yibo actually followed him inside, and noticed him.

“What?” xiao Zhan asked half ferociously. “You are interfering with the privacy of others by looking like that.” Standing in the toilet cubicle, Zhan lowered the zipper and started doing what he was supposed to do.

Actually, he doesn't want to pee. But he had no other choice as he was followed by the strange man.

Reprimanded by Zhan, Yibo turned the body and decided to wait for the young man in front of the sink.

Shortly after, Zhan was done. He sighed when he saw Yibo waiting for him.

“You want to divulge that I am a country boy who has never traveled around the world, yes, ‘kan?” Zhan immediately accused.

“No. What am I doing it for? Nothing in it for me.”

“Then why follow me?”

“I want to collect your debt to me.”

“Utang?” Zhan hopes to look as calm as possible even though he starts to tremble a little at the thought of what Yibo will do to him.

“Hmn. Come on, come with me.”

Suddenly Zhan shouted. “Please!”

Shocked, Yibo immediately smothered Zhan's mouth with his hand, then kept silent to observe the situation. No one's coming. Mercifully. Yibo breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hmmph .. hmmph ...”

Zhan rebelled in Yibo's hand.

“I'll let you go if you shut up.”

Instantly Zhan nodded his head in agreement. However, Yibo could not just trust him because he knew that the young man had many tricks that would make him quite a hassle.

“Really?”

Zhan still nodded. “Hmmp! (true)”

“Appointment?”

Zhan nodded again. “Hmmp! Hmmp!”

Surprisingly, Yibo still felt misgivings. The young man was very uncontrollable. Who knows what he will do after this, except only God. And Yibo is not God.

However, Yibo was able to think cleverly so he used a way that Zhan really liked to control the young man.

“I'll give you 1000 yuan if you shut up and keep your promise to talk to me.”

Justright. Zhan's eyes immediately sparkled hearing that. He couldn't possibly refuse the 1000 yuan money for free.

“Hmmp! Hmmm! (I want)” Zhan nodded quickly repeatedly.

Yibo knew that this method must have worked against Xiao Zhan so he immediately lowered his hand, and Xiao Zhan kept his promise by not acting.

Xiao Zhan's hand turned towards Yibo.

“One Thousand Yuan,” said.

Yibo's lips scratched a slanted smile, then clasped Xiao Zhan's hand.

“Later, after we finish talking.” He pulled Zhan out with him.

With a scowling expression Xiao Zhan was forced to obey. He knew that a thousand yuan would not be easily obtained.

“We talk while eating, yes,” said Xiao Zhan. "I'm hungry.”

As if not hearing Yibo, clasping Xiao Zhan's hand, guided the young man towards the restaurant located on the other deck inside the ship.
