"I don't know if you have any skills, but you certainly have a big mouth. And also, Uncle, you seem to have eaten shit in your mouth. It stinks so much."
Ye Cheng fanned the air with his hand.
Even the rare bit of composure Chen Jinhai managed to muster was completely extinguished by Ye Cheng's anger. His face darkened, and he glared at Ye Cheng with hatred.
"Alright, Uncle, if you have nothing else to do, don't delay us from making money. Let's go, it's time to head out to sea." Ye Cheng pushed Chen Jinhai aside and walked straight towards his boat.
The people on the dock were having a great time watching; they loved seeing this kind of thing. They'd heard before that there was discord in Baiyun Village, and now it seemed that was absolutely true.
The business owners exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anticipation.
With two large ships, could they replicate the success of 100,000? Wow, just thinking about it is exciting.
Chen Jinhai watched Ye Cheng's retreating figure and said through gritted teeth,
"Golden Hair, you have to show him what you're capable of and get him 200,000. Let this kid see that there are still people better than you, damn it."
Chen Jinfa's eyes darted around, and he immediately responded loudly.
"Jin Hai, don't worry, it's guaranteed."
In his heart, he was secretly thinking, "200,000? You idiot! Why don't you just rob me?"
......
Once on the boat, Aunt Qian said with a displeased expression,
"Second brother, the Chen family is shameless. They're trying to steal our crabs!"
Ye Cheng smiled.
"Auntie, what's the point of fighting over this? The crabs are in the sea. If they're capable, they can catch them. What's the use of just yelling if they're not capable?"
"Yes, Auntie, let's get on with our work. Hurry up, tidy up your things, and then those who need to go to sleep can go to sleep."
Duan Chunsheng gave a shout, and after the group skillfully packed up their things, they all went back to sleep.
On the way there, Ye Cheng was still in charge of driving the boat. In the quiet night, when everything suddenly became quiet, Ye Cheng's thoughts began to wander. He kept looking back at the cabin door, wondering if Han Xiaotao would come out again.
Han Xiaotao was also torn inside. If she didn't go out, she was afraid Ye Cheng would stop asking her to work. If she went out, she was afraid something might really happen.
I hesitated for a long time.
In the end, he lost his mind.
She tiptoed out, and as the sea breeze blew, her heart began to pound.
Hearing the noise, Ye Cheng turned around and glanced at it, raising and then frowning his eyebrows.
"Brother Cheng," Han Xiaotao called softly, her face flushing red as she thought about what she was about to say.
Ye Cheng gave a slight hum, knowing it was best not to say anything at this moment.
Han Xiaotao hesitated for a moment, then gently leaned closer and stood next to Ye Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, I..."
"Sister-in-law Han, there's no need to say more. Just do as we agreed yesterday. It'll be fine."
Ye Cheng interrupted her, afraid that Han Xiaotao would tie her hair up again for money, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
So he wanted to tell Han Xiaotao that he had already said yesterday that 500 was the wages and there was also a red envelope, and that he was just giving her the money he had agreed on yesterday, not because of what she did yesterday.
To dispel her concerns.
That's what Ye Cheng thought, but Han Xiaotao said it differently.
She had only intended to thank Ye Cheng separately, but Ye Cheng so bluntly insisted on doing things the way they had done yesterday.
Yesterday's person practically sidled up to you.
She bit her lip. Yesterday it was indeed her own choice, and it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with the other person's request.
"Let's do it this once," she said, reaching behind her to tie her hair up and then squatting down.
Ye Cheng thought he had convinced her, but to his surprise, Han Xiaotao suddenly squatted down and put her hand on him, which startled him so much that he lost his footing and staggered back a few steps.
Han Xiaotao squatted on the ground, her face flushed, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Sister-in-law Han, Sister-in-law Han, that won't do," Ye Cheng hurriedly explained.
Han Xiaotao stood up, looking bewildered. "Didn't you say to do it the way you did yesterday? Did I hurt you?"
Ye Cheng looked like he was about to die.
"I mean, it's based on the wages we agreed on yesterday. The 6,000 I gave you yesterday was just for wages, nothing more."
Han Xiaotao then realized that she had misunderstood. She wiped her mouth, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
"Well, I'm going back to sleep now. Do you...do you want to come with me?"
"Oh, no, I mean, do you want to go to sleep?"
Han Xiaotao panicked and became incoherent.
Ye Cheng pointed to the cockpit.
"Sister-in-law, I still have to drive the boat. You go to sleep first. Don't worry, you'll still get your wages."
After saying that, Ye Cheng quickly returned to his seat. Damn it, that scared me to death.
The baby seems a little chilly, ouch—
Fortunately, Han Xiaotao didn't get up again, but Ye Cheng kept seeing her thick, long ponytail.
The work that night was uneventful, and the first two rounds of fishing yielded decent results, slightly better than yesterday.
Logically speaking, with such a high luck value today, I should have gotten more, but I didn't.
Ye Cheng summarized the reasons and concluded that there were probably too many fishing boats.
"Second brother, look, the sea is full of boats today." Duan Chunsheng had already finished cleaning the crabs and was looking at the lights on the sea when he exclaimed.
Indeed, Ye Cheng and his team didn't encounter so many boats when they were pulling in the nets a couple of days ago, but today, after pulling in the nets for several hours, they've been running into one every now and then.
They even saw the Chen family's ship, with Chen Jinfa looking at it smugly and giving himself the middle finger. What an idiot.
"It's alright, Uncle. We already made some money a couple of days ago, so we'll just make a little more later."
"Hehe, that's true, but I think the Chen family is in a bit of a predicament. I just saw that their net didn't even pull up as much as the small boat. Your trick is really ruthless." Duan Chunsheng gave Ye Cheng a thumbs up.
"It's not my fault, it's their own greed. They thought they had as much money as me, wanting to raise crayfish on one hand and buy big ships on the other. Doing business is never about who makes the most money, it's about who can withstand the risks. People like them, if there's even the slightest ripple, will be doomed."
Throughout history, countless business people have operated this way.
Once they made money, they wanted to expand production and expand into new areas.
When the real estate and finance sectors were booming, many companies abandoned their core businesses to invest in them. Initially, they made money, but when the economy collapsed, many of these companies went bankrupt.
The Chen family is in this situation now. They pool the resources of the entire clan to expand production, but problems will immediately arise if the profits don't meet expectations.
However, this has nothing to do with Ye Cheng.
In the next two rounds, the system's power finally came out, with both rounds being completely full of bursts, much to everyone's delight.
After completing the four-way navigation, they began their return voyage. When they arrived back at the dock, Ye Cheng was too lazy to sleep anymore and stood arrogantly at the bow of the ship.
