Chapter 223 Hiring Xiao Yuyang
It's no surprise that the entire Wen family wants to cancel the engagement.
However, Zhong Jing still looked down on the Wen family. He wanted to cancel the engagement just because they were poor. Isn't this a betrayal?
Fortunately, I noticed it, otherwise, if I had cooperated with such people for a long time, there would have been no guarantee that something bad would have happened.
Zhong Jing half-jokingly said, "After what happened with the Wen family, I'm a bit scared of straw ropes. What if I find another family with the same problems?"
Zhao Liya said decisively, "Then keep looking. You'll eventually find the right one. If there's a problem with their character, no matter how capable or strong they are, we can't accept them."
Once the route is confirmed, it's a bonanza of wealth. The ports, terminals, and routes are all theirs, and no one else will be allowed to take advantage of them. Therefore, the partners must be trustworthy and of the same mind. Otherwise, if money tempts people, who knows what will happen?
Especially the rough and rude garrison bosses like Zhong Jing are not cut out for business, and Zhao Liya can't live here and keep an eye on them all the time. If someone with bad intentions comes, they will be screwed sooner or later.
Zhong Jing obviously understood this, and as soon as Zhao Liya said this, he immediately pulled back his thoughts that were about to run wild. He smiled and nodded, "Sister Xiaoya, you're absolutely right! This is the bottom line!"
The bottom line is meant to be defended, not broken.
Zhao Liya suddenly smiled and said, "That Xiao Yuyang is quite interesting. Let's go look for him tomorrow."
"Um?"
"Ask him if he's interested in sailing. If so, we could hire him. His family used to be sailing, so he must have a lot of connections in that field."
Can't this be used?
Zhong Jing's eyes lit up: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
The two of them did what they said and went to find Xiao Yuyang the next day.
Xiao Yuyang was shocked when he saw them, thinking they were here to settle accounts with him. The two sides talked at cross purposes for a long time before they understood each other, feeling both amused and helpless.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the relationship was brought closer because of this mistake.
What Zhao Liya and Zhong Jing didn't expect was that things went unexpectedly smoothly. Xiao Yuyang's eyes lit up and he agreed without thinking.
When he was young, he went to sea with his father and fell in love with it at once. He thought he would sail on the sea like his father and grandfather, but fate played a trick on him and it became a regret in his life.
I thought I would never have another chance in this life, but unexpectedly the opportunity turned out to be a pie falling from the sky. If I don’t agree, I must be a fool!
He had a premonition that if he missed this chance, he would never have another chance.
Another reason was that when he was at the Wen family, he saw them arguing with the Wen family and had a good impression of them.
From what he had seen, it was clear that they were very much to his liking. He believed they were people he could trust.
Anyone who confronts those hypocrites and disgusting people in the Wen family is not a bad person.
In order to make the other party feel that they had made the right choice, Xiao Yuyang even showed off his rich knowledge of navigation inherited from his ancestors in person, which really made Zhao Liya and Zhong Jing very happy.
"Can you contact some reliable shipbuilders? We need a lot of experienced people."
"Sure, I've called the person over. You two can test him yourself and use him if he's capable. I definitely won't call someone who's unreliable."
Zhao Liya and Zhong Jing were both quite satisfied and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuyang is indeed a reliable and sensible person. This time I have found the right person.
This trip was not in vain.
As for the partner, it would take time to find one. Zhao Liya couldn't stay here for too long, so she smiled at Zhong Jing and said, "Brother Zhong, why don't you ask Xiao Yuyang? Maybe he can know something."
Zhong Jing thought about it and said, "That's right. He cares about this kind of thing, so he probably knows something. When you've found out enough, Xiaoya, remember to come over again."
He was not good at choosing partners, and the affairs of the Wen family seemed to prove that his vision was extremely poor, so he dared not make the decision.
After all, it's not just his share, there's also Brother Zhou's and Sister Xiaoya's share. It would be terrible if they were forced to pay compensation.
Zhao Liya had no choice but to smile and nod in agreement.
Xiao Yuyang has parents and a younger sister. When his parents heard that he was going to sea, they were originally against it, but he insisted, saying that he had wanted to do this since he was a child. His parents had no choice but to agree.
His sister, Xiao Yuyan, supported him from beginning to end, secretly encouraging him: "Don't worry, brother. I'm here at home. Just protect yourself and work hard to build something great! It'll also let that snobbish Wen family see and vent their anger! I don't believe our family's luck is this bad!"
Xiao Yuyang felt sad and proud when he heard this, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely make our family prosperous again, win honor for my parents, and earn you a generous dowry."
This made Xiao Yuyan purse her lips and smile: "I'm not in a hurry, but my brother should quickly earn enough money to marry my sister-in-law. My brother has good taste and will definitely find a good sister-in-law for me, definitely not someone like Wen Yuzhi."
Xiao Yuyang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
He hasn't really considered getting married yet.
The conversation between the brother and sister made him more determined to do a good job.
When he went to report, he was shocked to learn of Zhong Jing's identity.
After a while, he came to his senses and was overjoyed!
This golden thigh is so worth holding on to, it really is a pie in the sky! Their Xiao family's fortune has finally turned around with him!
The hot and sour noodle shop in the county town was not ready yet, so Zhao Liya and Hu went back first. Uncle Hu would stay here until the shop was officially opened and business was stable before going back.
With Zhong Jing and others looking after and helping here, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were not worried.
I said goodbye to Uncle Hu and agreed that I would ask someone to deliver the raw materials such as sweet potato vermicelli to me when I got back.
By the way, send three or four hundred kilograms to Zhong Jing and the others.
When they went back, Zhong Jing still arranged a car to take them there, and of course various local specialties were included.
They have a lot of lychee plantations in this area, and after years of accumulation, they have almost all varieties, including the earlier-ripening ones.
So, when lychees elsewhere are not yet ripe, the early-ripening varieties here are already available for eating.
This is the freshest first crop of the year. Uncle Hu can finally taste the lychees he has been craving for a long time.
Zhao Liya and the others were about to go back, so Zhong Jing specially ordered someone to pick a large basket of about 40 to 50 kilograms to take back to taste.
In addition to lychees, there are also a variety of fruits such as dragon fruit, papaya, mango, coconut, as well as fresh seafood such as abalone, scallops, crabs, shrimps, various small shells and conchs.
