Chen Jiaxiong and Ma Yaozu were almost driven mad by He Guohua's words, but the man didn't stop talking and kept going on and on.
"Director Huo, I'm a businessman. Offering cigars is just a polite gesture in business."
When I meet someone, I like to take out a cigar and ask them a question. You know what this kind of thing between men is, right?
But they were inspectors, on board to supervise and measure our fishing. And what happened? They not only smoked my cigars, but also interfered with my friend's fishing.
I'm still furious! If the police and the industry and commerce bureau don't give me an explanation, I'll have my brother withdraw his sponsorship of the fishing competition!
Organizing fishing competitions requires funding. Although the people of the port city are wealthy, the gap between the rich and poor is still significant. Such events cannot rely entirely on the government; they generally require sponsorship from large local corporations.
The Ho family is one of the biggest sponsors of this event.
Upon hearing this, Director Huo couldn't help but frown slightly.
“Mr. He, you don’t need to threaten me. I’ve always been fair in my dealings. What’s done is done.”
"Haha, that's great. I'm sorry, Director Huo, it's not that I think too badly of you, it's just that these two inspectors are really awful. I treated them kindly, but they sabotaged my efforts."
This really breaks my heart!
This tearful accusation filled Ah Cai and Li Zhong with awe.
The boss is the boss; even his acting is better than theirs!
Fu Wanqing couldn't help but give He Guohua a thumbs up. Director Huo checked him over again before taking Ma Yaozu and Chen Jiaxiong back to the yacht to report.
Of course, they also brought along the few leftover cigars. Putting aside the fact that they were ganging up on each other, their lack of professionalism was also a fact.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chen Jiaxiong and Ma Yaozu could only dejectedly follow the speedboat away.
What they thought would be a simple task turned out to be incredibly difficult. These mainlanders were not only skilled at fishing and physically impressive, but also incredibly shrewd, leaving them completely clueless.
This time when I go back, not only might they take back the money I originally received, but I might even lose my job.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiaxiong and Ma Yaozu exchanged a glance. No, they couldn't afford to lose their jobs and money. If that damned foreigner Stephen dared to retaliate against them, they wouldn't be afraid of a fight to the death. They had to go to the TV station to expose the dirty deeds these people were doing in Hong Kong!
The inspectors left, but the competition continued.
The organizers quickly sent two new inspectors, who were wearing police uniforms. Fu Wan guessed that they were probably from the police station.
Judging from his eyes, he doesn't seem like someone who would cause trouble.
Most importantly, with Ma Yaozu and Chen Jiaxiong having made mistakes first, those people probably wouldn't dare to put more people on their speedboats.
"There's still an hour left in the competition. Let's go to another fishing spot and cast a couple more times!"
Fu Wan shouted, and A Cai turned the steering wheel and floored the accelerator.
Great! He has one more hour. He'll try again to see if he can catch a tuna!
The yacht also headed in another direction, leaving only He Guoli and his group's speedboat in the entire sea area.
He Guoli and He Guosheng witnessed what happened on He Guohua's boat. They thought they could use Chen Jiaxiong and his partner to get rid of He Guohua, Fu Wan and others, but unexpectedly, Chen Jiaxiong and his partner left first.
Tsk, two useless people, they can't do anything right!
He Guosheng's face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.
Just then, He Guoli's voice rang out again.
"Third Brother, are we going to lose again? I just counted, that woman helped Second Brother catch a golden tuna, a harpoon, and five other fish."
The fish on our boat are nowhere near as good!
Their boat was full of medium-sized fish, half of which were bought in advance by He Guoli and Xu Zhiwei from the fish market.
They have eagle swarms and groupers, but all of them combined are not even worth as much as one or five eagle swarms.
Not to mention that Fu Wan also has such a huge, golden-eyed spear.
Upon hearing this, He Guosheng slammed his fist hard against the railing of the speedboat.
"Stop saying discouraging things! We absolutely cannot lose!"
He didn't care about the money from the championship, but the right to use those dozens of docks was the bargaining chip that would allow him to return to the center of power in the Ho family.
Damn it, isn't the mainland supposed to be poor and backward? Where did He Guohua find such a skilled fisherwoman?
"Guoli, it's alright. I've had someone buy some fish, and they should be here soon."
"Once those fish are delivered, we're sure to win!"
Fortunately, He Guosheng was clever. Before setting off, he instructed someone to go to the fish market to find a large and expensive sea fish. Judging by the time, they should be ready to leave soon.
"Let's go to the edge of the competition area!"
He Guosheng's men didn't set off openly in a speedboat.
Even cheating has to look like cheating. The people he had arranged beforehand would set off from the adjacent sea area with fish. After He Guosheng and his group arrived, someone would naturally take the fish into the water and hook them onto He Guosheng and his group's fishing hooks.
As for the fish not being fresh? Ha, most sea fish die as soon as they're taken out of the water. They're "caught" on the boat and then kept frozen with ice. Who would know that this is what they bought?
The inspectors on Ho Kwok-sing's ship were David and Lucas, who were acting under Stephen's orders and had no real responsibility for monitoring Ho Kwok-sing's cheating.
Everything was planned perfectly, and He Guosheng couldn't help but feel smug.
So what if the people He Guohua hired are good at fishing? Even if they are good at fishing, can they catch more and more fish than He Guohua bought?
Haha, his good older brother and good second brother will never understand that you have to use your brain to be a person and do things!
With one hour left in the competition, the entire sea area was filled with a tense atmosphere.
He Guohua couldn't resist standing at the stern and smoking a cigar before returning to the bow after the smell had dissipated.
At this moment, Fu Wan pulled up three pomfret and one Su Mei. The pomfret weighed about one jin, while the Su Mei weighed three or four jin.
Ah Cai wasn't idle either; he caught a tiger grouper and a bigeye snapper, both weighing over a pound each, which was quite beautiful.
"Mr. He, what's wrong?"
Fu Wan then brought up another pomfret. Strangely enough, she had really stirred up a hornet's nest today, as each of these pomfret weighed over a pound.
Logically, He Guohua should be happy with such a gain, but he looked rather worried.
He Guohua sighed, "Miss Fu, to be honest, I have a feeling that something is not right."
I guessed that Chen Jiaxiong and his two scoundrels were going to cause trouble when they boarded the ship. Now that we've driven them away, He Guosheng wasn't particularly angry. In fact, he even smiled at me as we left.
That damn bastard, I'm worried he definitely has another trick up his sleeve!
Fu Wan clicked her tongue upon hearing this, "I thought it was something serious, Mr. He. This little thing is making you worry? Look at what we've gained. If anyone should be worried, it's him. Even if he has a backup plan, we can just deal with it as it comes."
Don't worry, Mr. He, we can only be number one!
