It was almost one o'clock when we got back to the dock.
Old Li was still a little puzzled when he saw that Fu Wan and the others' boat was empty.
Is this the Air Force?
Hey, he said the weather isn't suitable for going out to sea today!
"Ah Wan, it's okay if we didn't find anything, as long as everyone is safe!"
While helping to fasten the boat chain, Old Li didn't forget to comfort Fu Wan.
Seeing Old Li like this, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"Uncle Li, we didn't go out to trawle; we just went out to sea... to set up fish traps!"
No sooner had he said that than Boss Fu and Fu Ming brought out the stingrays.
Put in a fish trap?
When did manta rays start liking to burrow into fish traps?
Old Li suddenly questioned his life. He had just been comforting the other person, and with just a few stingrays, did he really need to comfort them?
However, he also became somewhat curious.
"Ah Wan, didn't you forget to bring a net? How did you catch the manta ray?"
"Hey Uncle Li, these manta rays have wings! These few flew onto the boat by themselves!"
Fu Ming joked with Old Li with a grin, and Fu Wan was amused as well.
Although the orcas threw them onto the boat, Fu Wan and her companions didn't actually need any tools; these manta rays "flew" onto the boat on their own.
It was just that the orcas gave them a ride.
But if we tell Old Li and the others that it was a gift from an orca, they won't believe us!
Such an unbelievable thing would happen once in ten people at sea.
Fu Laoda borrowed a cart from Lao Li and delivered the stingrays to Fu San. Fu Wan, meanwhile, took the boat keys and headed home.
When he got home, Ye Xiaocui was sitting in the yard waiting for him.
Seeing Fu Wan return, she finally felt relieved.
"Awan, where are your father and brother?"
"Oh, they went to Uncle San's place. The orca gave me a few manta rays, and I had Dad sell them."
"What? The orca sent another manta ray?"
Ye Xiaocui was surprised, then asked worriedly, "Awan, have you found that orca that keeps calling?"
Fu Wan nodded and briefly told Ye Xiaocui about the orca calf getting trapped in the fishing net, but she didn't mention a word about encountering Scarface and the others.
Perhaps because she had encountered Xue Qing and those Japanese people before, Fu Wan had developed a more resilient mindset.
Even when she saw those people die at sea, Fu Wan didn't feel particularly scared.
After all, those people deserved to die. Not to mention the killer whales, sharks, and dolphins that were hunted, before Fu Wan got married, she often heard the old village chief Fu and others mention that pirates in the high seas could take people's lives.
If villagers going out to sea encounter this, they must obey and then try to escape.
Otherwise, these people not only want money but also their lives, and if they resist, they will only die a more miserable death.
After lunch, Fu Wan went back to take a nap.
Although she wasn't afraid, Fu Wan still had a dream. For some reason, she dreamed that she had become the mother whale who kept calling for her orca calf. The feeling of despair and heartache made her wake up suddenly.
Damn it, those damned pirates!
Fu Wan got up and washed her face, then thought for a moment, called Fang Min, and drove to the county town.
At the cannery, Wang Jianmin was still busy. When he saw Fu Wan come over, he hurriedly reported on his work over the past few days.
"Factory manager, I've visited the food factory. The production lines and warehouses have been cleaned up, and I've also organized the workers' files."
After saying that, he opened the drawer and took out a thick notebook.
Fu Wan accepted the gifts, saying, "So many, Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Jianmin chuckled and shook his head. "It's nothing, not hard work at all. Factory manager, are you planning to hire anyone for this food factory? My classmate from before..."
At this point, Wang Jianmin became somewhat embarrassed.
But thinking about how his old classmate was at the age where he should be working hard but could only stay at home doing nothing, Wang Jianmin had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask Fu Wan for help.
Zhou Haoran's family is not very well-off. Although his wife also has a job, they have many children and their expenses are high.
Fu Wan didn't even look up when she heard this, still flipping through the employee information that Wang Jianmin had compiled.
This record clearly shows the age, education, address, and most importantly, the employees' willingness to stay and work at the food factory.
This was something Fu Wan had previously asked Wang Jianmin to investigate.
"Uncle Wang, you know Comrade Zhou well, have you asked him if he wants to stay at the food factory and continue working there?"
"If Comrade Zhou is willing, have him come to the cannery to see me tomorrow morning. I'd like to discuss the future plans for the food factory with him."
Although Zhou Haoran's previous discussion with him about buying and selling the production line ended badly, judging from his previous intervention to prevent Xu Aiguo from selling the factory to the Japanese, this man was not a bad person at heart.
As for his work ability, Fu Wan hasn't seen it yet, but Wang Jianmin works diligently for the cannery, and she's willing to give him face.
Wang Jianmin thought Fu Wan would ask Zhou Haoran about his education and character, but she didn't expect her to directly ask Zhou Haoran to talk about the future development of the food factory!
In other words, as long as Zhou Haoran doesn't refuse, he can continue working at the food factory!
Upon realizing this, Wang Jianmin was extremely excited.
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get home from get off work!"
Fu Wan nodded, having almost finished reviewing the documents in her hand. The food factory originally had over a hundred people, but quite a few of them were just there to make a living. After going through the documents, Fu Wan had a general idea of who they were.
Wang Jianmin is too busy to be in two places at once; tomorrow she needs to see if Zhou Haoran can accept the reform of the food factory.
She plans to expand the food factory beyond just pastries, as Longhai City is located by the sea and has a wide variety of seafood.
In later years, the market for snacks such as dried eel, dried shrimp, and spicy fish has been quite good. Taking advantage of the current market gap, Fu Wan wanted the food factory to produce these as soon as possible to seize the market.
Although these foods are not cheap, there are definitely many people in inland areas who like to eat them.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan went to find Qian Zhiming again.
Qian Zhiming has been in charge of researching and developing new products for the canned food factory. Since the food factory is also in the food industry, Fu Wan wanted to hear his opinion on how to develop and produce seafood.
Qian Zhiming had heard in the past few days that his boss had bought two more factories, but he didn't expect that he was involved in it.
You know, the variety of canned goods from just the cannery alone is enough to make him go bald, and now there's another food factory coming along.
"Comrade Qian, what do you think of this matter? Can your group study it?"
Qian Zhiming scratched his sparse hair, and facing Fu Wan's expectant face, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Their R&D team's salary is considered high in the entire city. If they refuse the factory manager's request, would he even be human?
However, Fu Wan didn't say he couldn't hire outside help!
"Factory manager, I have someone to recommend!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan was immediately relieved. After making an appointment with Qian Zhiming to have him bring people to meet her, Fu Wan went back.
But when I got home, I was shocked by another piece of news.
Fu Da Laizi is dead!
