Wow, Ah Wan, you're amazing!
Su Ran was full of admiration and gave a thumbs up, "You have a good eye. I was just thinking of telling you that Fujia Village has beautiful scenery and would definitely make money if you developed tourism there."
Before she could even speak, Fu Wan had already begun preparations.
Although the guesthouse was not very clear from the distance, its grandeur was, without exaggeration, even more beautiful than the one Su Ran stayed at when she went to Shanghai for her studies.
"Haha, not bad, right? I've made full use of the geographical advantage. I'll have to trouble you to leave some space for me in the newspaper to advertise later."
Su Ran nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. I'll talk to my brother and aunt later and ask them to give you time and space for publicity!"
"However, the space belongs to the company, so I can't offer the advertising fee for free, but I can try my best to get you a discounted price!"
Su Ran looked a little embarrassed, but Fu Wan shook her head nonchalantly and smiled, "I know that. It doesn't matter if there's a discount or not. I'm just happy that you can help me get the space."
Newspapers and television stations aren't charities. These days, there are plenty of people who want to advertise with them, and even the richest people have to wait in line for a spot.
Fu Wan knew what was important; she had no intention of skimping on the advertising budget.
As they spoke, the four of them arrived at the dock.
Fu Ming and the children were already waiting at the dock, while Ye Xiaocui was behind Fu Wan and hadn't arrived yet.
Seeing Fu Wan with Su Ran and two unfamiliar young men behind her, Fu Ming, the eldest brother of the Fu family, frowned.
Su Ran and the others recognized these two young men; they seemed to be city dwellers with legitimate jobs.
Why are you here at this time? Are you here to talk to Fu Wan about work?
Wouldn't their plans to go to sea be ruined?
"Ah Wan, who are these two...?"
Fu Ming approached with a puzzled look, and Fu Wan handed him the fishing rod.
“Su Ran is a classmate from Shanghai. She bought our products at the trade fair earlier and came here specifically to visit.”
"Here for fun? What a coincidence, we're just about to go out to sea today!"
Fu Ming looked surprised, while Wang Shuo smiled familiarly and shook Fu Ming's hand.
"Haha, what a coincidence! We're so lucky, Comrade Fu, do you remember me?"
Fu Ming looked at the somewhat familiar young man in front of him and was instantly lost in memories.
"Who are you……?"
"I'm Xiao Wang, the one who heard you tell fishing stories before. Hey, Brother Fu, didn't you say you'd take me fishing with you back then?"
Wang Shuo was also a drama queen, and immediately put on a heartbroken look. Fu Wan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw this. Her brother was the kind of person who would brag and say anything when he started to talk about brotherhood.
Fu Ming was a little embarrassed by Fu Wan and the others' laughter, and he scratched his head for a while, trying to remember.
"Oh, I remember now! Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, right!"
"Yes, yes, that's me!"
Wang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he willingly took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes to offer to Fu Ming. Fu Ming raised his eyebrows at Fu Wan smugly, thinking, "He knows his underlings, he'll definitely remember." He then took the cigarette from Wang Shuo and tucked it behind his ear.
Although Fu Ming doesn't smoke now, he has to accept the cigarette offered in this situation. If he doesn't, Wang Shuo will definitely think he looks down on him.
Moreover, they were offering such good cigarettes as Zhonghua. Even if Fu Ming didn't smoke them, he could save them for Ye Jianguo and the others.
"Well done, kid. You smoke such good cigarettes. Back then, when you said you wanted to go sailing with me, I thought you were just being polite!"
That's why he couldn't help but call Wang Shuo "brother" repeatedly and boasted on the spot that Wang Shuo could come to Fu Family Village to find him anytime.
These are just polite words men say in everyday life, but little did they know that Wang Shuo actually remembered them.
And thankfully, he was a man. If it had been a woman—no, it couldn't be a woman, he wouldn't have agreed to go to sea!
Wang Shuo chuckled ingratiatingly, "How could that be? These cigarettes are what my dad usually smokes, and I just swiped them."
"Bro, I brought my fishing rod but not bait today. Could you take me and my girlfriend along?"
Fu Ming waved his hand and nodded in agreement, "No problem! You can take him, but your girlfriend can be taken by my sister."
He's a married man, so he can't get too close to women.
Wang Shuo turned his head and glanced at Wen Yue, who was chatting and laughing with Fu Wan and Su Ran, and immediately felt relieved.
"Okay, then we men will be in groups of men, and the women will be in groups of women."
After saying that, Wang Shuo happily ran over and gave two cigarettes to Boss Fu, and even Old Li, who was helping Boss Fu carry things, got one.
Old Li was so happy that he wiped his hands on his clothes several times before trembling as he accepted the Zhonghua cigarette.
Good heavens! Ah Ming and Ah Wan really know how to make friends. Many villagers used to look down on him for being an old bachelor, but now these city kids don't mind that his hands are dirty and even give him such good cigarettes like Zhonghua!
Oh, they're all good kids!
As they were talking, Ye Xiaocui arrived late, carrying a bucket of bait. Seeing two unfamiliar faces on the boat, she looked at them with suspicion.
Seeing this, Su Ran gracefully raised her hand to greet Ye Xiaocui, "Hello, Auntie, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?"
After Su Ran finished speaking, she stepped forward and hugged Ye Xiaocui's arm.
Ye Xiaocui had always liked Su Ran, so she immediately patted Su Ran's hand.
"Oh my, who is it? It's Xiao Su! Long time no see! You've gotten so thin!"
"Hehe, I've been too busy with work, Auntie. To be honest, I really miss your fish dishes. When we catch some fish later, could you cook them for me tonight?"
"Okay, of course!"
Ye Xiaocui agreed without hesitation, and then looked at Wen Yue, who was also smiling brightly.
"Oh my, who is this girl...?"
"Mother, this is Comrade Wen Yuewen, who came from Shanghai for a visit."
Fu Wan began to introduce herself, and Wen Yue greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Wen Yue."
"Oh, hello, hello, welcome to our village."
Ye Xiaocui responded with a smile, and Fu Wan took the bucket from her hand and glanced at the bait inside.
"Mom, why is there so much bait today?"
"Oh my, this was just delivered by your third aunt. She heard we couldn't buy any bait for fishing, so she specially picked out some of the fish that were left over from today's sales and brought them over. I saw that there were quite a few big, big ones in there, and I wanted to pick some out, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time!"
So that's how it is. No wonder these fish don't look like the small fry that are usually sold to feed mills at the dock.
Fu Wan shook the fish bucket; inside were several palm-sized mackerel, weighing at least half a pound each. There were also prawns as thick as a ring finger; they could be used as bait, or even just peeled and eaten as shrimp meat—a delicious dish.
However, since they were all leftovers, these fish didn't look very appealing.
