"Setting sail this afternoon? Miss Fu, why don't you rest first?"
He Guohua was initially delighted, but then asked in surprise.
He must be happy that Fu Wan takes his affairs to heart.
But he's not a miser; he wouldn't make his employees work non-stop like that.
Fu Wan glanced at the weather outside the window. The weather was nice today, with bright sunshine. If she went out to sea at this time, she would only get sunburned and peel, and there would be virtually no other harvest.
"Around three or four in the afternoon, it takes a while to go to the deep sea. There are more fish around sunset."
He Guohua nodded and gave Fu Wan a thumbs up, praising, "Miss Fu is so smart. I haven't been out to sea much, so I really don't know when there are more or less fish!"
Fu Wan smiled modestly, "Everyone has their own expertise. It's enough that Boss He understands business matters. If you were so knowledgeable about other industries, what would we be needed for?"
"That's right, that's right! Oh, Miss Fu, Mr. Bai, Miss Fang, let me toast you! Thank you for coming all this way. I hope you have a great time in Hong Kong!"
He Guohua's mood instantly improved, and the emotions that He Guoli had just stirred up were completely forgotten.
Fu Wan and the other two did not drink alcohol; instead, they poured tea prepared by the restaurant into their cups.
After all, I'm new here, and it wouldn't be good if I got drunk.
After finishing their meal, He Guohua asked Ah Cai to take Fu Wan and the others to the hotel. Fu Wan wiped her hands and stood up, only to find that the eldest grandson at the next table had disappeared sometime earlier.
The food on the table had been cleared away by the waiter, who seemed to have left a while ago.
“Miss Fu, don’t worry about them. My younger brother is spoiled rotten by my parents.”
Mentioning He Guoli, He Guohua couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Perhaps it was because he had drunk some alcohol and had become familiar with Fu Wan and the others, so he had become more talkative.
"Guoli is the son of my father and his third wife. My father was already sixty when he was born. In Chinese terms, this is called having a son late in life, so he let him do whatever he wanted, which is why he turned out the way he is."
I apologize for my rudeness earlier.
He Guohua's words carried a hint of apology. Although he had spent a lot of money to invite Fu Wan to participate in the fishing competition, in a sense, she was also his employee.
But perhaps because Fu Wan left a fairly good impression on He Guohua, he never treated her as an employee he could boss around, but rather as a friend who had come from afar to help him.
Of course, it would be even better if this friend could help him catch a big, beautiful fish.
Even if he didn't win the game in the end, He Guohua was already mentally prepared.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. He's thirty-five years old now and has been in the business world for nearly twenty years, so he naturally knows that not everything can be accomplished.
Even with hard work, many things are still up to fate. Three parts are determined by heaven and seven parts by hard work. He Guohua never ignores the three parts determined by heaven.
Fu Wan didn't expect He Guohua to suddenly bring up her family matters, so she shrugged and made a joke.
"Mr. He, you're too kind. I haven't even thanked you for giving me a grandson to wish you an early Happy New Year!"
"Haha, Miss Fu, what are you saying? Well then, it's settled. He's his, and I'm mine. You can treat him like your grandson, but I can't treat you like my grandmother!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Of course."
After dropping Fu Wan and the other two off at the hotel, driver Ah Cai returned to Boss He to report back.
Li Zhong was already waiting in the hotel lobby. When he saw Fu Wan and the others coming over, he quickly handed them their room keys.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, I've already booked your rooms, the presidential suite on the rooftop."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Li."
"Hehe, it's not hard work at all. This is just part of my job. If we weren't all from the mainland, I wouldn't have had such an easy job."
Li Zhong grinned and said, "You must be tired from catching the plane early this morning. I heard from the boss that you have to go out to sea this afternoon, so I won't disturb your rest."
Fu Wan responded, "Will Comrade Li be going to sea this afternoon?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the boss's arrangements."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he bid farewell to Fu Wan and the others and left.
Bai Qianzhou took the room key from Fu Wan and glanced at it. There were still two rooms, so they should be on the same floor.
"Let's go, let's go up and see what the presidential suite in the port city looks like!"
Fu Wan greeted them, and the three of them took the elevator upstairs.
It was Fang Min's first time riding such a sightseeing elevator, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
"Ah Wan, this little room is amazing... Oh my god!"
Before she could finish speaking, the sightseeing elevator began to slowly rise. Fang Min was caught off guard, and if Fu Wan hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have fallen hard like He Guoli.
"Be careful, this is an elevator. You may feel weightless. Hold onto the handrail and stay steady."
Bai Qianzhou reminded her, and Fang Min then noticed that there were two horizontal railings on both sides of the elevator, and Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were each holding onto one side.
"Okay, I understand now."
Fang Min nodded with lingering fear. In that moment of distraction, the elevator was already twenty meters above the ground.
Looking down through the elevator's transparent side, everything on the ground suddenly appeared much smaller. Fu Wan couldn't help but close her eyes and then grip the handrail tightly. Damn it, it had been so long since she had ridden in such a tall elevator that she was starting to feel afraid of heights.
Bai Qianzhou saw all of this and said, "Awan, I have to go out for a while. If I'm not back before we leave for sea, you guys go ahead and we'll contact each other by pager later."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan's attention was immediately diverted, and she forgot about her fear of heights.
Bai Qianzhou should be going out to complete the task assigned by Sun Shaoping, Fu Wan frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can manage on your own? Do you need my help?"
Bai Qianzhou shook his head, "Not for now. There are quite a few underworld forces in Hong Kong. It's best if the two of you don't separate."
After saying that, he looked at Fang Min, who subconsciously nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will stay by Awan's side every step of the way."
Fu Wan sighed helplessly, "There's no need to be so nervous. Hong Kong is actually quite safe, after all, there are police officers here!"
"Even with the police around, you still need to be careful. Hong Kong is about to return to China, and many people in Hong Kong have opinions about mainlanders. In any case, you'd better be careful."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Faced with Bai Qianzhou's unusually long-winded talk, Fu Wan had no choice but to obey.
As we were talking, the elevator dinged, indicating that we had arrived at our floor.
Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, found the corresponding room, swiped her room card, and it was time to open the blind boxes again.
This was, in fact, her first time staying in the legendary presidential suite.
But when they opened the door, not only she, but even Fang Min was somewhat surprised.
"This room is so small, it doesn't seem as nice as the one in Guangzhou."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. The presidential suite in front of her was indeed as Fang Min had said. The room was only about the size of Guangzhou, but the decoration was very luxurious and had a European style.
“The port city is also a place where every inch of land is precious. Don’t underestimate this place. I estimate that the price here is at least two or three times that of Guangzhou.”
