Chapter 268 Tired

The lights in the village were turned off early at night. After walking around the fishing village twice, Chi Wenyan returned home by moonlight.

Maybe he was tired after a day of work, so after washing up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

I still dream of that woman whose face I can’t see. She looks hazy and her voice is as ethereal as a veil.

When I woke up, another day had passed.

Chi Wenyan's life in Yu Village these past two days has been doing odd jobs. His days are busy but fulfilling.

The fishing village is always shrouded in a light sea mist in the early morning, and the air is filled with the salty smell of sea water.

Every day, Chi Wenyan either ran to the fish shop early or went out to sea with those experienced fishermen.

Because they are young and strong, the salary they are given is indeed much higher.

I have to say that the experience of going out to sea with the fishermen is even more unique.

As the fishing boat slowly left the port, the waves began to become rough and the boat swayed with the waves. He felt a little seasick at first, but then he got better.

Chi Wenyan looked at the tall buildings in the city opposite across the sea and felt that they looked very familiar.

"What's the city across the street?"

"Kyoto."

In Kyoto, Chi Wenyan felt a sudden pain in his head and couldn't help but stagger two steps.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little seasick."

Standing firmly and leaning against the hull, Chi Wenyan shook his head.

"Go sit inside for a while. Come out when I call you to go fishing."

Chi Wenyan shook his head to indicate that it was okay. He had gotten used to the occasional headaches these days. He actually hoped that the pain would last a little longer, perhaps so that he could remember more.

When it was time to fish, Chi Wenyan stood by, observing secretly and learning how they adjusted the direction of the boat according to the wind and waves.

Fishing at sea is also a technical job. You must first observe the movements on the sea surface and look for signs that fish may appear.

Once they spot their target, they quickly cast their nets.

Chi Wenyan also came to help, imitating them to throw the fishing net into the distance, watching the fishing net unfold in an arc in the air and then fall into the sea.

When the net was being collected, the heavy fishing net was slowly pulled onto the boat, and the lively fish were struggling in the net.

We caught a lot of fish today, so I can make a little more extra money.

During the break, the brother in charge of driving the boat came over, patted Chi Wenyan on the shoulder and handed him a cigarette.

Chi Wenyan took it and continued to stare at the sea in a daze.

"Xiao Chi, you're a good guy. I have a sister who is about your age. She's hardworking and capable. When she comes back from college, are you interested in meeting her?"

"Sorry, I don't have that idea right now."

The older brother was slightly startled, then laughed heartily and tried to smooth things over, "I understand, I understand. For young people like you, this is the time to focus on your career. Your career is the most important thing. It won't be too late to consider these things later when you've achieved success in your career."

Chi Wenyan nodded politely and didn't say anything else.

The atmosphere around them was a little awkward. To ease the tension, the older brother's eyes rolled, as if he suddenly remembered something interesting, and he started chatting, "Hey, have you heard? Our fishing village is going to be renovated."

Chi Wenyan's heart moved, and he asked, "What's going on?"

The old man perked up at the mention of this and said excitedly, "I heard that a big company is going to transform the fishing village into a resort. It's going to be quite large. It is said that they want to renovate the entire fishing village. By then, our place will be completely transformed."

Chi Wenyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and some thoughts flashed through his mind. He asked, "Which company is it?"

"It seems to be called something like Wen Company. I heard it's a big company in Kyoto. I don't understand it either. Anyway, when the time comes, we will listen to the arrangements. It's all the village chief's business, so we will just listen to the notice."

The old man shook his head and smiled, then stubbed out his cigarette and muttered, "I don't know what's worth renovating this shabby fishing village."

Chi Wenyan lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking about.

At the same time, the food factory had just started operation and the company address had been selected, which was equivalent to a branch of Ji Wan's company.

The first few batches of orders were neither too big nor too small, just enough to maintain operations. Ji Wan is preparing to increase the scale of publicity in the past two days.

Unexpectedly, a big order suddenly came in. The head of the branch called Ji Wan and said that this big client had to meet her before signing the contract.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute, don't panic."

After Ji Wan hung up the phone, he packed up and prepared to go to the company.

Ailan hurriedly stopped him, but Ji Wan shook his head and chuckled, "I'm fine, the branch office isn't far from here, I'll go check it out, if you're worried we can go together."

Alan couldn't persuade her, and ten minutes later they got in the car and headed to the company.

When he arrived at the company, Ji Wan held his stomach. His body was a little heavy, so he walked a little slowly, but his momentum was still strong.

"careful."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

When she reached the door of the conference room and pushed it open, her face instantly darkened when she saw that the Party A sitting inside was Chi Lin.

She never expected to meet Chi Lin under such circumstances.

When Chi Lin saw Ji Wan coming in with a big belly, a hint of subtle surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He sat there with an elusive look in his eyes, and did not speak, as if waiting for Ji Wan to speak first.

Ji Wan suppressed his displeasure and slowly walked to the conference table, trying his best to make his voice sound steady.

"The big boss who placed the order thought it would be you, so I have to call you President Chi now."

Chi Lin bowed slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ji. It seems we are destined to do business together."

Ji Wan snorted in her heart. She didn't think this was fate. In her opinion, it was more like Chi Lin did it on purpose.

Ji Wan placed her hand lightly on her stomach, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Chi Lin sat opposite her, and his eyes kept looking at Ji Wan from time to time, which made her uncomfortable.

Just as Chi Lin was about to mention the cooperation, Ji Wan interrupted him coldly.

"President Chi, I think we have nothing more to discuss about this business. Let's stop here today. Please go back."

Chi Lin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I am different from those people in the Chi family. I have always disliked the way they treated my eldest cousin before. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Please don't be too sad, sister-in-law. I sincerely want to cooperate with you and will not cause trouble in the cooperation."

Ji Wan just sneered, and her eyes pierced Chi Lin like ice knives.

"You can say whatever you want, but you can't recognize relatives randomly. You shouldn't call me sister-in-law. Wen Yan and I have long severed ties with the Chi family."

"As for what you said, I don't believe a word of it. Your Chi family's affairs are too complicated, and I don't want to get involved. I just hope to live a quiet life now and don't want anyone to disturb my life."
