I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1129: It's none of your business, kid.

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan ended his academic conference early and took Huang Ruiying to the Great Barrier Reef. He originally wanted Chen Zhe to come along to relax, but Chen Zhe was a serious person and had no interest in going out for fun, so he declined Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion.

Huang Ruiying boarded the Gulfstream G650 with practiced ease, then nestled into a large massage chair, put on her headphones, and started scrolling through her phone.

Just then, Huang Xiaochuan walked past her, and she casually asked, "Dad, where are we staying tonight?"

Huang Xiaochuan sat down behind his daughter before saying, "There's a nice hotel on Hyman Island."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ruiying immediately put down her phone, turned to her father, and said, "I know, that hotel has a private pool, right? I saw it online, and it says that Bill Gates stayed there too."

Huang Xiaochuan took a copy of The Economist magazine from the flight attendant and casually replied, "Yeah, it's not far from the Cervix Reef. A helicopter will take us there to take a look tomorrow morning."

However, there was one thing Huang Xiaochuan didn't tell his daughter: this hotel belongs to the Atlantis Hotel Group, which is controlled by the Hong Kong Avenue Group. In other words, this hotel actually belongs to Huang Xiaochuan.

"Really?" Huang Ruiying asked excitedly.

"If I lied to you, would I gain three more pounds?" Huang Xiaochuan glared at his daughter with dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Huang Ruiying stuck out her tongue and went back to scrolling through her phone.

During the flight to the Great Barrier Reef, the flight attendants prepared exquisite snacks for the father and daughter.

Huang Ruiying turned her chair around so that she was facing her father.

As she ate her small macarons, she asked, "Dad, how's Uncle Chen doing?"

Huang Xiaochuan, who was flipping through a magazine, said irritably, "Just eat your food. Your Uncle Chen will handle his own affairs. He's just a kid; it's none of your business."

But Huang Ruiying seemed not to hear her father's words. She sighed, shook her head, and said in a mature manner, "That Chen Qiao doesn't sound like a good person at all."

Huang Xiaochuan glared at his daughter with displeasure: "I've already told you, children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

"Okay, okay!" Huang Ruiying pouted.

She brushed the crumbs off her hands, turned the seat back around, and stopped talking to her father. The father and daughter went about their own business without disturbing each other. Three hours later, the Gulfstream G650 landed at Hamilton Island Airport.

A small convoy, led by a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, was already waiting on the tarmac. This was a special airport pick-up service provided by the hotel at Huang Xiaochuan's request.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't rush to get off the plane. He waited until Li Huan and his men had conducted a thorough safety check on the vehicle before he and his daughter got off the plane.

It takes about ten minutes to drive from the airport to the pier. Huang Ruiying kept looking at the scenery outside the window. July is winter in Australia, but the northern part of Queensland, where the Great Barrier Reef is located, has a tropical climate with temperatures consistently above 20 degrees Celsius, making it very warm and comfortable.

Upon arrival at the dock, a luxury yacht over fifty feet long was already waiting. After the father and daughter led their group onto the ship, the yacht headed towards Hayman Island.

Huang Ruiying stood at the bow of the boat and shouted happily, "It's so beautiful!" She opened her arms and let the sea breeze mess up her hair.

Huang Xiaochuan ignored her and let her go wild as long as she was happy.

Soon a small island came into view, prompting many classic quotes from the TV show "1990, I'm Back," seeking resonance. That was Hayman Island, where the Veyron Hotel was located.

From afar, the hotel is nestled among lush tropical vegetation, its white walls echoing the blue sea and sky, resembling an oil painting.

The hotel's general manager personally greeted them at the pier. He was an Australian man in his fifties. Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan and his daughter, he respectfully welcomed them: "Mr. Huang, Ms. Huang, welcome to Hayman Island. Your rooms are ready. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Thank you!" Then he and his daughter followed the general manager into the hotel.

The father and daughter stayed in a beachfront suite, which was over 300 square meters in size. They could walk directly onto the hotel's private beach by opening the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was also an infinity pool outside the room, with the edge of the pool blending into the distant sea, creating a visually stunning effect.

Huang Ruiying loved it here. As soon as she entered the room, she exclaimed, "Wow..."

She quickly familiarized herself with the suite, first lying on the large bed in her room, then checking out the pool, and finally lying on the balcony looking at the sea with a look of great satisfaction on her face.

"Dad, I wish I could live here forever," she said to her father.

Huang Ruiying's eyes lit up: "Really?" But then she became wary. She had never won a bet with her father since she was a child, so she was skeptical.

Huang Xiaochuan retorted, "Of course it's true. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ruiying quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it then. You can come and stay for a few days whenever you have time. I don't think I can stay here for the rest of my life."

In the evening, the father and daughter had dinner at the hotel's seaside restaurant. The restaurant was quite unique because it was built on a reef, with clear blue water right below. Also, because the hotel frequently puts bait in the water, a large number of tropical fish gather there.

Under the light, you can clearly see these fish swimming around.

The hotel made ample preparations in advance, with a very rich selection of ingredients, from Australian Wagyu beef to Tasmanian salmon, from Moreton Bay lobster to Torres Strait crab, all of which were the finest in Australia.

As the saying goes, food tastes better when cooked in the next pot. Huang Ruiying was enjoying her meal immensely. Huang Xiaochuan was very happy to see his daughter eating so well, and even took the initiative to introduce the dishes to her: "Try this fish, you can't get it anywhere else."

He was referring to coral trout from the Great Barrier Reef. Huang Ruiying cut a piece with a knife and put it in her mouth. The fish was tender and had a unique sweetness from fresh seafood, making her beam with joy.

"Dad, this is delicious, much better than that Greek restaurant in Sydney."

Huang Xiaochuan took a sip of lemonade: "Nonsense, the ingredients are so different, of course they're different."

Just as the father and daughter had finished eating about two-thirds of their meal, the restaurant manager and head chef arrived, bringing two servings of crème brûlée made with local Great Barrier Reef honey, saying it was a special treat for the distinguished father and daughter.

After eating and drinking her fill, Huang Ruiying began to regret it.

"Dad, I feel like I've gained at least ten pounds from this trip with you. No way, I'll have to lose weight when I get back."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't care: "What do you mean by fat? Your metabolism is fast now. As long as you maintain a certain level of activity, you won't gain weight at all."
