The next day.
It was early morning, before dawn.
After loading the dried fish that was to be transported to the market today, the Rising Sun set off.
Besides him and Ah Can, Feng Xuan was also on the boat.
As for Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing, let them rest at home for a day.
Upon arriving in the county, we first went to the market to sell dried fish, and didn't close until after eight o'clock. Then we returned to the dock and sailed to the shipyard.
It wasn't far from the fishing pier to the shipyard; it only took a little over ten minutes to dock again.
Feng Xuan was here for the first time and seemed very curious, looking around with her eyes.
Feng Ye and A-Can weren't in a hurry, so they led him around familiarly, introducing everything one by one...
It felt just like my own factory; I didn't feel out of place at all.
A short while later, Director Li came out of his office and walked over.
He didn't urge them, but followed by them with a smile, occasionally adding a few words about things that Feng Ye and A-Can hadn't explained.
Only after showing Feng Xuan around did the group of four go to the office to sit down, drink tea, and discuss business.
Factory Director Li took out the contract and placed it in front of them.
"This is the contract I filled out yesterday, in duplicate. Do you want to review it again, or sign it directly?"
"Let's take another look. Even though we filled it out yesterday, who knows if we took two copies yesterday?"
Ah-Can is straightforward and speaks his mind without considering Director Li's feelings at all.
"This is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. We do need to double-check. Director Li, please don't blame us for being suspicious of you."
Feng Ye looked at Director Li with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"It's alright, it's right for you to be cautious. After all, the contract concerns the rights and interests of both parties, so it does need to be treated with care."
Factory Director Li waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Then, a brief silence fell.
Feng Ye carefully examined the contract, his gaze lingering on each line to ensure no detail was overlooked.
We can't be careless about this.
After all, once signed, it has legal effect.
Ah-chan, who said he wanted to watch it again, didn't actually do anything; he just kept drinking his tea.
He had seen the contract yesterday; it was covered in dense text that made his head spin, so he simply gave up trying.
As for the details and terms, let Feng Ye worry about them.
Feng Xuan picked up the contract, but after reading only a few lines, he broke the silence.
"Holy crap, I recognize all these characters, so why is it so hard to understand when they're put together?"
Feng Xuan gave a wry smile and put the contract back on the coffee table.
He finished elementary school and knows most commonly used characters.
However, contracts are highly specialized matters.
The text on it was like a book written in a foreign language to him.
Those legal terms, technical jargon, and clause details are all like an elaborately designed maze, making people dizzy and disoriented.
He tried to understand, but found that his thoughts were as if tangled in countless thin threads, becoming more and more chaotic the more he tried to untangle them.
"I already knew yesterday, so I simply didn't bother to look at it. I can rely on Brother Ye to make the decision."
Ah-Can shrugged, looking completely at ease.
“These contract clauses give me a real headache, but I have no choice but to read them, and I have to read them carefully.”
Feng Ye gave a wry smile.
Although he believed that Director Li wouldn't make trouble for him, it was always better to be cautious.
"Don't even mention you guys, I actually had a lot of headaches at first too, but I got used to it after seeing it so many times."
Factory Director Li smiled and then said, "How about this, let me explain it to you in detail so that you can understand it more easily?"
"That's good, that's good."
Ah-chan nodded hurriedly.
He was actually quite curious to know what the intricacies of the contract were all about.
Feng Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Then I'll trouble Director Li to explain."
"It's not troublesome at all, not troublesome at all."
As Director Li spoke, he picked up the contract that Feng Xuan had put down.
Seeing this, Feng Ye simply stopped trying to understand it himself and instead focused on listening to Director Li's explanation.
Director Li had read the standard format of this contract countless times.
Although I don't know it perfectly yet, I know it by heart.
Therefore, his explanations were clear and concise, making them easy to understand even for laymen like Feng Xuan.
The contract was quite long, and it took more than half an hour to explain it.
During the meeting, Director Li not only explained the various terms of the contract in detail, but also provided detailed answers to the questions they raised.
"After hearing Director Li's explanation, it became much clearer and was no longer difficult to understand."
Feng Xuan put down his teacup and couldn't help but sigh.
"If you ask me, the person who designed this contract is inhuman. Something that could be explained in a single sentence is presented in a long, convoluted way, leaving the reader completely confused."
Ah-Can couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Contracts need to be rigorous, without any ambiguity or loopholes, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and disputes later."
Factory Director Li responded with a smile, saying he could understand his complaints.
Feng Ye laughed and scolded, "You know you're ignorant and incompetent, so don't embarrass yourself by saying it out loud."
"This contract is obviously drafted by a lawyer, who's a college graduate. In terms of education, you can't even come close, you're not even as good as him, you understand?"
"When it comes to contracts, you really need to hire a lawyer to make sure that the rights and obligations of both parties are clearly stated so that there will be no ambiguity later."
