According to Hu Tao himself, his out-of-shape physique is due to hormonal imbalance caused by medication he took after his injury.
After all, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. During the recovery period, Hu Tao definitely couldn't exercise. In addition, since Hu Tao injured his bone, according to dietary therapy, his diet during the recovery period would definitely not be too bad.
The Hu Tao that Bai Yu sees now may look like he weighs over 200 pounds, but that's after he recovered from his injury and lost several dozen pounds.
Hu Tao is currently an assistant coach for the provincial team. I believe it won't be long before he can lose weight again.
After patting Hu Tao's belly, he let Hu Tao board the boat and find a room, as he still had to wait for the others to arrive on the shore.
Around 6:30, everyone on Bai Yu's side had arrived, and the fishermen who had no connection with them had also arrived at the dock one after another and boarded their fishing boats.
With everyone present, the fishing boat slowly departed from the dock after sounding its horn.
As the fishing boat began its journey, Bai Yu and the others arrived at the restaurant on board, ordered some dishes, and chatted while eating.
Bai Yu and his group of about ten people may seem like they have a high proportion of sports students, but after graduating from school, almost none of them are currently doing any jobs related to sports.
Apart from Hu Tao, who is now an assistant coach in the provincial team, only Bai Yu has not yet retired, and Wang Hai is Bai Yu's assistant. The others have all found other jobs.
During the meal, Hu Tao and the others expressed their envy of Bai Yu.
Of course, it was just envy. After all, given Bai Yu's current achievements in sports, they could only admire him and wouldn't have any other thoughts.
Everyone here practices sports and was a former athlete with special athletic talents. They all understand the main reasons behind Bai Yu's achievements in sports.
Besides hard training, talent is the most important thing, something they can only envy.
As for his current status as both a company owner and a major internet celebrity, it's because of the former that Bai Yu has been able to progress so smoothly.
Hu Tao and his group could never know the truth, but that's what they believed.
Of course, during the meal, these people inevitably expressed another sentiment: they hoped that Bai Yu could lend them a hand when they were down on their luck.
Putting everything else aside, I just hope that I can arrange a job for them so they can make a living.
As for now, it's not really necessary yet; they can still give it a try.
Bai Yu naturally agreed to these requests. He said that if anyone encountered difficulties in the future, they could come to him, and he would definitely help within his capabilities.
This isn't Bai Yu boasting, nor is it because he's now rich and arrogant, daring to make any promise he wants.
Rather, the people Bai Yu called today had a really good relationship with him during their university years, only slightly less than the four-year dormitory relationship between Li Shuang and Lu Sheng.
Otherwise, the boat fare for this voyage would have been five thousand yuan. If he didn't have good connections, would he have invited these people? His money didn't grow on trees.
The dinner lasted until 10 p.m., and in addition to eating, they also drank a lot of alcohol, by the case.
Of course, Bai Yu has never touched a drop of alcohol. Since he started competing on the international stage, he has only drunk alcohol a handful of times over the years. Unless absolutely necessary, he will not drink a single drop at home.
In the end, Bai Yu and several other staff members helped them back to the cabin.
Even so, while they were being taken back to the crew quarters, three of them still climbed onto the railing of the fishing boat and started baiting the fish in the sea.
Fishing boats are not land after all. Even though this fishing boat is not small, about twenty meters long, it does not go particularly fast and is quite stable.
However, for someone who has drunk too much, even a slight sway can be fatal, let alone a ship speeding across the sea.
After being swayed back and forth, the drunk men naturally couldn't take it anymore and started fighting.
Fortunately, for people who have drunk too much, vomiting can make them feel much better, and some people can even sober up on the spot.
After settling everyone in, Bai Yu returned to the crew quarters. However, Bai Yu did not return to the crew quarters to rest, but instead took out her fishing gear bag.
According to Brother Li, they should reach their first fishing spot in about two hours.
Wang Hai and the others had all drunk too much and gone to sleep, but Bai Yu himself picked up a fishing rod and prepared to start fishing.
This can't be blamed on Bai Yu. It's not that Bai Yu didn't want Hu Tao and the others to go fishing; it's just that Bai Yu hadn't been out to sea on a fishing boat for a long time, and he genuinely forgot to ask Brother Li how far the first fishing spot was.
Instead, he was busy having dinner with Hu Tao and the others. By the time Brother Li came over to tell him the news, Hu Tao and the others had already drunk quite a bit and couldn't go fishing anymore.
For experienced anglers, the best time for sea fishing is definitely the period from midnight to morning.
This is the best time for fish to feed, and at the same time, a large number of nocturnal marine creatures also become active.
After receiving the fishing gear bag, Bai Yu carried it to the deck and sat down next to Brother Li to chat.
"Brother Li, our first stop is to go fishing at the oil well, not the fishing grounds. Is it because the fishing at this oil well has been pretty good lately? Have you caught any big fish?"
"Have you ever shipped a large quantity of goods? It seems like we haven't. We came here because it's relatively close, only four or five hours away, and the oil wells have decent resources, which can help you bosses get started on the first day."
When Brother Li heard Bai Yu's question, he shook his head and answered.
"Big catch" literally means big fish, and in sea fishing, it generally refers to giant fish.
For all anglers who enjoy sea fishing, their primary goal every time they go out to sea is to catch giant fish. If they weren't going to catch giant fish, who would be willing to spend money to go out to sea fishing?
"Just so we can open a business? Well, it's not easy to come across a big shipment like this. It's not bad to be able to open a business at all."
"By the way, Brother Li, I remember there should be a lot of tuna near the oil well, right? Has anyone caught tuna near this oil well recently?"
"There are definitely tuna, but they are all small ones weighing a few kilograms to tens of kilograms, none of them weigh more than a hundred kilograms."
According to our captain, our first stop on this voyage is this oil well, and then we'll head towards the Dongsha Islands. Along the way, we'll pass several fishing spots with good resources.
These resource points offer a wide variety of fish, from grouper to big ones like tuna and sailfish.
By the way, I have a handbook here. It's supposedly from our local sea fishing association, a compilation of fishing spots in the South China Sea. It clearly marks which places are good for which fish, and which seasons or weather conditions are best for fishing there—it has all the details.
As Li Ge spoke, he took out a small booklet from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu naturally took it and glanced at it. The booklet was very thin, only about three or four pages long.
However, its workmanship is quite good, and it has a wide variety of pictures. The cover has the words "South China Sea Fishing Resources Distribution Booklet" written in big characters, with a picture of a bluefin tuna and a sailfish.
Just looking at this cover is enough to resonate with many anglers. Tuna and marlin are the first targets for many anglers when they go out to sea to fish.
As for the contents, there isn't much; there are only four inner pages, marking forty fishing spots in the South China Sea.
This includes, but is not limited to, areas such as oil wells, fishing grounds, and small islands.
When it comes to the richest island resources in our domestic waters, I think everyone will have an answer in their hearts without me having to say more: the South China Sea!
The South China Sea is dotted with islands, some inhabited and some uninhabited, including reefs and islets, numbering in the hundreds.
This resource manual certainly cannot possibly mark all the surrounding conditions of every small island and reef, nor could anyone possibly do so.
This handbook lists some locations with relatively obvious resource distribution, such as the grouper near the Dongsha Islands and the tuna school near an oil well.
The manual also clearly marks the oil well that Bai Yu and his group are about to visit; this place is rich in tuna, mahi-mahi, and grouper.
Bai Yu was full of anticipation when he saw the tuna and grouper, but he completely ignored the mahi-mahi, as he was not interested in that kind of fish.
What kind of fish is the mahi-mahi? It's ugly and doesn't taste good, so who would be interested in it?
While Bai Yu was engrossed in reading the manual, time flew by, and before he knew it, the fishing boat had slowed down.
Feeling the fishing boat slow down, Bai Yu put down the manual in her hand and looked towards the bow of the boat.
In Bai Yu's line of sight, a huge, brightly lit object appeared.
The oil well has arrived!
