"Hao Da, what did you do before?" After a while, Qi Yingying said, looking for something to talk about.
Outside, it was raining heavily, and there was nothing else to do, so they could only chat.
"I worked odd jobs everywhere. I found a factory and worked on the assembly line for a while, then I didn't want to do it anymore, so I rested for a month. Then I delivered food for a while, didn't want to do that either, so I rested for another month. Then I worked in a small company doing sales, and so on. In short, I was just a bottom-rung laborer, unable to see any hope," Hao Da said with a sigh.
"What's your educational background? How did you end up in such a bad situation?!" Qi Yingying asked, shocked.
"Vocational College," Hao Da replied, lacking confidence.
"Holy crap! Is a Vocational College even considered an education? That 'Vocational' sounds almost like 'brick.' You basically have to do manual labor, like carrying bricks on a construction site," Qi Yingying retorted with a laugh.
"What about your education then?" Hao Da asked, somewhat annoyed.
"MBA Master and Doctoral Student at Country Y Sword Q University," Qi Yingying replied proudly.
"A rich young lady is indeed different!" Hao Da replied, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Hmph! I got in based on my own abilities, alright?!" Qi Yingying gave him a contemptuous look.
Then she asked Che Yan: "Che Yan, before you became a young boss, what was your educational background?"
"Bachelor's degree from a Type 1 University in China," Che Yan replied with a smile.
"That's not bad either!" Qi Yingying commented.
The implication was that although her education was not as good as Qi Yingying's, it was much better than Hao Da's Vocational College degree!
"Liu Yijiao, what about you? Before you became a personal secretary, what was your educational background?" Qi Yingying asked Liu Yijiao with great interest.
"Bachelor's degree from a Type 2 University in China," Liu Yijiao replied, neither subservient nor arrogant.
"That's acceptable too," Qi Yingying commented again.
Then she looked at Su Mei and said: "Su Mei, you... Oh! I just remembered, when you introduced yourself yesterday, you said you were a freshman at that university. I know that university; it's neither a 985 nor a 211, so it should be a Type 2 institution."
"Yes, Type 2," Su Mei replied, neither subservient nor arrogant.
Seeing that all four beautiful women had such high educational qualifications, Hao Da couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, 'Holy crap! No wonder pretty women are getting more arrogant nowadays and it's harder for men to find wives. It turns out they all either graduated from prestigious foreign universities or were educated at top Chinese universities!'.
How could someone like him, who only attended a Vocational College, has no house, no car, and not much savings, survive?
But then he thought, right now, the five of them were stranded on this deserted island, and it was mainly because he risked his life to get fish and water, supporting these four highly educated beautiful women. He also chopped trees and took the lead in building this shelter, giving them a place to shelter from the heavy rain. In this situation, he, a man with a Vocational College education, was the most valuable person!
With this thought, his previous feeling of being inferior to the four beautiful women with bachelor's degrees or higher immediately transformed into a sense of great stature and importance! He felt exceptionally good about himself!
"On this deserted island, I really don't think academic qualifications are of much use. If Brother Hao hadn't risked his life to get fish and water, the four of us women would probably have been too weak to move from hunger," Su Mei said involuntarily.
"Exactly! So what if he has a Vocational College degree? Hao Da is the one with the strongest survival skills right now!" Liu Yijiao also said objectively.
"You flatter me, you flatter me! I'm just average, average!" Seeing the praise from two beautiful women, Hao Da humbly replied, overjoyed.
"Actually, in real society, there are quite a few people with Vocational College degrees who are very capable. I have several in my company!" Che Yan also said with a smile.
"Haha! I didn't say that a Vocational College degree is bad! Hao Da, I've eaten several of the fish you caught, so how could I say anything bad about you? I was just bored because of the rain and wanted to chat!" Seeing that Su Mei, Che Yan, and Liu Yijiao were all leaning towards Hao Da's side, Qi Yingying explained with a slightly awkward smile.
"After we get back, don't forget to transfer me a million yuan as a thank you!" Hao Da replied magnanimously.
"That goes without saying!" Qi Yingying's pretty face was filled with generosity!
For her, who had a rich father, a million yuan was just pocket money for a month.
"The rain is getting lighter," Liu Yijiao said. "Even though we're by the fire, it's still quite cold!"
"Oh, right! Brother Hao, can you make five down quilts tomorrow... No! Make five down quilts tomorrow, okay?" Su Mei immediately thought of what would be good to create tomorrow.
"If we had five down quilts, sleeping at night would definitely be much more comfortable!" Che Yan said with longing.
"If there were down quilts, sleeping nude would be even more amazing!" Liu Yijiao's pretty face showed excitement.
"Liu Yijiao, you like sleeping nude? I have that hobby too!" Qi Yingying said with a charming laugh.
"You two are really open-minded!" Su Mei couldn't help but reply, stifling a laugh.
"I estimate I can only make one down quilt tomorrow, because five quilts count as five items. But I'll try to make a helicopter first. If I can't make a helicopter, I'll try to make five down quilts. If I can't make five down quilts, I'll try to make one. Making one down quilt should be no problem!" Hao Da said, planning ahead.
"Hao Da, can you really create things out of thin air?!" Seeing that he spoke so seriously, Qi Yingying couldn't help but stare at him intently, as if trying to discern from his expression whether he was joking!
"Of course! This ability suddenly appeared yesterday after I failed to spear fish in the stream, and then I created a fishing net. This morning, I created an axe. I can create one item per day," Hao Da replied calmly.
"Holy crap! Then we'll have to depend on you from now on! Who knows when those damned rescue teams will come! To live comfortably before they arrive, we'll primarily rely on your ability to create things! Hmm, tomorrow, make five down quilts! If not five, one is fine too!" Qi Yingying said excitedly.
"One down quilt, how would five people cover themselves?" Che Yan suddenly asked.
"We'll just squeeze together and share it!" Liu Yijiao said with a charming laugh!
"Haha! Hao Da is definitely going to have a blast! Squeezing under one quilt with the four of us beauties!" Qi Yingying also giggled uncontrollably.
"Then you two can't sleep nude!" Su Mei teased.
"We still can. Like last night, you sleep next to Hao Da, and Liu Yijiao and I can sleep nude!" Qi Yingying said boldly.
"Then I'll sleep nude too. After all, Su Mei will be between me and Hao Da," Che Yan also joined the joke.
"Su Mei can't sleep nude then, otherwise Hao Da would directly... Haha!" Qi Yingying laughed merrily.
"Qi Yingying, can you be more serious?!" Su Mei suddenly got angry!
"Damn it! We've been stranded on a deserted island for so long, we're almost turning into savages! What's there to be serious about?! Do you see savages wearing clothes?!" Qi Yingying retorted righteously.
"At least others cover themselves with leaves on their thighs!" Su Mei argued!
"I only said not wearing clothes, not not wearing pants!" Qi Yingying continued to argue stubbornly.
Seeing that the two seemed on the verge of fighting, Che Yan deliberately said: "Speaking of clothes and pants, it seems like we haven't showered or changed clothes for two days!"
"Yeah, my body is starting to feel itchy," Liu Yijiao said, sniffing herself with some disgust.
"Now that you mention it! Damn it, I'm going crazy! I used to shower every day, even twice a day. Now I haven't showered or washed my hair for two days! It's a good thing there are no mirrors, otherwise I wouldn't dare to look at myself!" Qi Yingying said with some frustration.
