Back at the guesthouse,
The village secretary's words were still echoing in his mind.
Hairun has already entered overseas markets, with two stores in Fuzhou and another in Guangzhou.
The seafood market's daily turnover is higher than his annual salary.
He used to look down on Lin Ziyan, thinking that she was nothing special because she was born in a small fishing village and her family had some money.
People from poor, remote places are petty and will only fawn over him.
His older sisters all doted on him, telling him to marry someone from a well-off family who could help him.
After being nagged by them so much, Hou Fangguan felt that no one was good enough for him.
Now he regrets it, regrets not dating Lin Ziyan while they were in school, letting someone else have it for free.
Hou Fangguan thought about it more and more and felt that when he last came to the village to find Lin Ziyan, she must have been saying things out of anger, angry that he hadn't taken care of his family with her from the beginning.
Hairun alone is enough, plus the seafood company, the seafood market...
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. All of this originally belonged to me…
With this thought in mind, Hou Fangguan finally calmed down, and the frustration in his heart dissipated considerably.
He needs to find a way... he can't be as reckless as before.
Once someone becomes obsessed, they stop thinking about anything else, believing that they have never been wrong and that others are always the ones who are wrong.
Lin Ziyan was unaware that Hou Fangguan had his eye on her again. She continued to travel back and forth every day, spending several hours in the village laboratory and then going to the factory in the afternoon.
The land surrounding Hairun's factory has indeed been completely rented out.
She's now worried about this; she should have rented the whole place back then.
Lu Yunshen accompanied her to the rental shop several times, but they couldn't find out which company rented it.
"Why don't we just not look for anything nearby?" Lu Yunshen suggested as he drove.
Sunlight streamed into the car, casting a layer of orange shadows.
Lin Ziyan looked at the dust particles dancing in the air, her gaze wandering as she fell into deep thought.
She certainly considered not looking nearby, and even considered buying land.
Industrial land can be obtained at very low prices, and it is no longer restricted to industrial parks.
In the future, Hairun Group will be able to have its own industrial park.
Lin Ziyan shared her thoughts with Lu Yunshen.
“I think it’s a good idea.” Lu Yunshen drove the car to a newly built park.
There is a wild fishing area here, where many elderly people fish for sea fish and stay for a whole day.
Lin Ziyan put on the special sun-protective hat that her grandmother had made, with a piece of cloth trailing behind the wide brim.
Then I put on a very thin sun-protective shirt, fully armed.
Fangjie and Song Yi arrived early to reserve a spot; they had also prepared a barbecue grill and a picnic mat.
The sky was cloudless, with a gentle breeze occasionally blowing, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
The birdsong was clear and ethereal, echoing in the air above this coastal park.
Lin Ziyan looked around and had the illusion of traveling back to the future.
Is Fuzhou's urban development already this advanced?
Lu Yun Shen, carrying his fishing gear, was about to move forward while holding her hand.
A car stopped next to theirs, the window rolled down, and Lu Qiuying waved to them.
"Didn't you say you were going to look at land? How come you have time to come over?" Lu Qiuying unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
"I've looked through them, but I couldn't find anything suitable." Lin Ziyan wanted to stop and say a few more words, but Lu Yunshen pulled her forward.
Lu Qiuying, "..."
Xiao Jin took the things, strode over to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and followed.
Their figures were projected onto the lawn, magnified and intertwined.
Upon arriving at the fishing spot, we found a canopy set up on the lawn next to it, along with a small tent.
Barbecue grill, picnic mat, bamboo basket full of things...
Lu Qiuying wasn't interested in fishing, so she sat in a folding chair and watched them.
Fang Jie placed the things on the table and poured Lu Qiuying a cup of fruit tea.
"Has the Fisheries Association been cooperating with the Ministry of Commerce recently? Their people have been conducting inspections in this area for the past few days." Sister Fang frowned slightly.
She didn't have a good impression of the people at the fisheries association.
When I used to run that small shop, people from the aquatic products association would come to buy things and often try to take them for free, acting all high and mighty.
Later, she simply stopped accepting their orders, too lazy to deal with them.
It's a small commodity wholesale business with very thin profit margins. People are quick to place orders, but when it comes to taking delivery, they want to haggle and delay payment.
"They have no cooperation, but they want us to help them attract investment, but they can't offer anything." Lu Qiuying had a headache just thinking about this.
I waited outside her office every day, asking her to leave.
"Trying to get something for nothing, huh?" Sister Fang sneered.
Actually, this association didn't need to overstep its bounds. The people in the aquatic products department weren't in a hurry, but they were the ones who got anxious first.
The development of aquaculture in Fuzhou has nothing to do with this department.
When shrimp farms were all the rage before, their minister went to various villages to mobilize people. But before they could grow to a significant scale, a shrimp plague struck, and the minister was transferred. After that, no one dared to go to the villages to mobilize people anymore.
This department is now practically non-existent.
The two chatted idly, exchanging a few words.
After catching two sea fish, Lin Ziyan handed the fishing rod to Lu Yunshen.
"Were you just talking about the Minister of Aquaculture?"
“I saw the principal when I went to take a leave of absence.” Lin Ziyan poured herself a glass of red wine and looked up at Sister Fang.
Lu Qiuying told me about recent events: the people from that association have been causing trouble at the Ministry of Commerce, and now they're using the guise of inspections to roam around various villages.
“There’s an association member named Hou Fangguan, who’s from the same university as you, and he’s been hanging around the port every day now…” Lu Qiuying complained.
She had nowhere to vent at the Ministry of Commerce, so this was a rare opportunity to complain.
Lin Ziyan's brow twitched upon hearing this. She turned to look at Lu Yunshen, then silently drank her wine without saying anything.
Hou Fangguan?
How long has it been since she last heard that name? She's almost forgotten about him.
At that moment, Hou Fangguan was browsing in the small commodities market when he sneezed several times.
He's the only one left here these past few days; Minister Min went back to the city for a meeting long ago.
Hou Fangguan went to Hairun Electrical Appliances City many times, but never encountered Lin Ziyan, which made him increasingly irritable.
When I asked the shop assistants there, they all said they didn't know.
If he couldn't see anyone again, he wanted to go to Haibi Village to take a look.
The Lin Ziyan he knows now is definitely not the one he knows.
Hou Fangguan felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of this.
"Xia, you eat lunch first. I'll check this batch of goods."
Hou Fangguan looked at a stall and saw Wei Caixia sitting inside; his pupils contracted slightly.
One stall here can generate a monthly turnover of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
He swallowed hard and walked towards the stall.
Li Zhaodi urged her daughter to eat, wanting to take a look at the order form.
Now she's envious; her brother's business is booming, and she wants to get involved, but no one is giving her the chance.
Wei Caixia held up the sheet, "Mom, if you keep doing this, I'll tell Grandma."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the people in front of the stall, but she didn't greet them.
Li Zhaodi thought it was a guest and rushed over with a smile.
"Caixia, is this your stall?" Hou Fangguan clenched his fist behind his back, his eyes filled with hope, as if the stall had already become his.
