At 7 p.m., after having dinner at home, Bai Yu and his two companions left home with their bags and packages. Bai's father saw them off at the Sanya high-speed rail station, where they boarded the train to Haikou.
Regarding the gifts that Bai Yu and the others gave to Bai's mother, it's unclear how Bai's mother discussed it with Bai's father, but in any case, Bai's mother didn't mention the gold bars once during dinner.
Around 9 p.m., Bai Yu and his three friends returned to Ocean University. At this time, they didn't even need to attend evening self-study and could go straight back to their dormitories.
When Bai Yu brought Wang Hai back to the dormitory, he was surprised to find Li Shuang and Lu Sheng inside.
"Huh? Shuangzi, Asheng, why didn't you two attend evening self-study? Aren't you afraid the counselor will give you trouble for skipping evening self-study?"
"Hey, Brother Yu, it's because you and Xiao Hai aren't here. Ah Sheng and I were so bored in the classroom that we came back to the dorm early to play games."
"It's perfect timing, Yu-ge, you guys are here just in time. We just finished our last game, you two log in quickly, let's play squad together. There's something I wanted to talk to Yu-ge about."
"Okay, we'll log in now. Just tell us what you need."
Bai Yu and Wang Hai tossed their luggage onto their respective beds, then turned on their computers to start playing games.
"Brother Yu, it's like this. Don't worry, I ran into Brother Tao and the others today. We had a meal together in the cafeteria. Brother Tao told me something and asked me to ask for your thoughts."
"What's wrong? Why didn't my cousin tell me himself? Why did you have to relay it to me?"
Bai Yu immediately became interested in what Li Shuang was talking about.
After all, Hu Tao had Bai Yu's contact information, so he could have contacted him directly if he needed anything. However, he chose to have Li Shuang relay the message.
In this case, this matter is either a trivial matter or a good thing that will benefit Li Shuang and others.
"Here's the thing, Brother Yu, when we were having lunch in the cafeteria today, we were chatting with Brother Tao and we talked about going out to sea to fish during the National Day holiday."
Seeing that we seemed quite interested in sea fishing, Tao told us that there were fishing boats going out to sea in a few days from Ocean University of China, and asked if we were interested in joining them. He said we just needed to buy boat tickets, and the trip would last two days and two nights.
"What? Brother Yu, don't listen to Shuangzi's nonsense. Actually, at noon, Shuangzi was bragging to Brother Tao that he caught a fish weighing over 100 pounds while fishing at sea during the National Day holiday."
Yes, we did catch a big fish at sea, but wasn't it Ah Hai who caught it? That kid took the blame for it, and I didn't have the heart to call him out on it.
After Li Shuang finished recounting what had happened, Lu Sheng, who was standing next to her, added some details.
“Ah Sheng, what I said wasn’t wrong. Didn’t I also contribute to that hundred-pound Napoleon wrasse? So, it’s not wrong for me to say that I caught it.”
"Forget it, why am I bringing this up? That's not the point. The point is, Brother Tao said a fishing boat is going out to sea in a couple of days, and he asked if we'd be interested in going on board."
"A fishing boat is going out to sea from Ocean University? What's going on? Wait a minute, I'll call my cousin first."
Bai Yu then disregarded the game and took out her phone to call Hu Tao.
After some investigation, Bai Yu understood the specific situation, which made him realize that everyone says that university is a small microcosm of society, and those who say this are indeed not lying to them.
Ocean University of China truly has talented people everywhere.
The fishing boat that Hu Tao mentioned would be going out to sea to fish in a couple of days was actually a third-year student from the Ocean University's College of Oceanography, whose family is in the fishing business.
This senior student had a sudden inspiration and developed this business on campus. As long as he gathered a boat full of fishermen, his family would arrange for a fishing boat to take them out to sea to fish.
The reason why Bai Yu and the others were approached this time was because Li Shuang and Hu Tao had expressed interest in sea fishing during their conversation, which led to this question.
If Bai Yu and his three friends agree to go, they can go fishing at sea this Friday for two days, going on Friday night and returning on Sunday night, so they won't miss class on Monday morning.
Bai Yu made the call to Hu Tao, who then asked for Bai Yu's opinion. He said that if they were willing to go, he would contact the boat owner and report their names; otherwise, it would be fine.
Bai Yu simply replied to Hu Tao that he would think about it and give him an answer by tomorrow at the latest.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu asked Li Shuang and Lu Sheng for their opinions. Li Shuang was quite interested in going out to sea to fish again, as he seemed to enjoy fishing and the feeling of making money afterward.
Lu Sheng said he didn't care; if Bai Yu and the others went, he would go too, and vice versa.
Bai Yu glanced at the time and said he was going out to sea to fish on Friday, which was the day after tomorrow. The weather was also good this weekend, with only light winds and small waves at sea, which should have been a good day for fishing.
However, the weather at sea is always unpredictable; one second it may be sunny and clear, and the next it may be pouring rain.
When it comes to sea fishing, Bai Yu is also interested. As mentioned before, Bai Yu likes the feeling of fishing, especially the thrill of adrenaline rush when wrestling with a big fish.
In addition, he had been spending money rather extravagantly lately, so he continued to go fishing at sea to replenish his pockets and make them bulge again.
After some consideration, Bai Yu sent a message to Hu Tao on WeChat, asking him to sign up the four of them for the fishing trip.
As for the cost of this fishing trip, it was 1,500 yuan per person. That's only because they spent a relatively short time at sea. If it were a week-long trip, the cost would be over 5,000 yuan.
According to Hu Tao, they will be traveling on a large fishing boat with twenty fishing spots, meaning that about twenty fishermen will be going out to sea with them.
If you calculate it this way, they can earn 30,000 yuan just from collecting boat fees. I wonder how much profit the boat owner can make.
After transferring the boat fare to Hu Tao, Bai Yu and the others played games in their dormitory, chatting about their expectations for the upcoming fishing trip.
Regarding this, Bai Yu only said one thing: "I wish you all the best and may you become rich overnight!"
