But why would this high-ranking leader suddenly contact me? Could it be something important?
He quickly went through the recent cases in his mind, and it seemed like nothing serious happened.
"Director Li, it's you. I didn't notice the number just now. I was interrogating a petty thief and my tone wasn't quite right. I'll definitely pay attention next time. Director Li, is there anything you need me for?" Liu asked tentatively, a little nervously.
"Oh, you don't need to be so formal. I'm just calling to ask you about something in a personal capacity." Director Li on the other end of the phone didn't dwell on his earlier attitude and went straight to the point.
Upon hearing that it was a private matter, Liu felt a pang of anxiety. Damn, private matters are more difficult to handle than official ones.
However, the more private the matter, the less likely one is to refuse; one can only accept it and hope it's not something difficult to handle.
However, handling personal matters isn't without its advantages. If your boss gives you a personal favor to do, you'll have the opportunity to get closer to them.
"Look at what you're saying, sir. What you say is an instruction. If it's any official or personal business, just tell me, and I'll take care of it right away." While cursing inwardly, Liu had to admire his own acting skills.
Sure enough, the leader on the other end of the phone was very satisfied. He cleared his throat and softened his tone.
"It's just a small matter. Remember that case about food poisoning from eating crayfish last time? You handled that case, right?"
"Ah, I handled it, boss. The mediation agreement has been signed, and both parties have agreed."
"I wasn't asking about work. It's like this, I have a relative who owns a restaurant. He heard that crayfish are really popular lately, so he asked me to find out where he could find a supplier. That reminded me of that case from last time."
"Oh, boss, don't worry, I know about this. It's from Baiyun Village in our town. I took them there to handle the mediation." Hearing it was about this matter, someone inquiring about things, that made things easier.
"Baiyun Village, right? Okay, but you still need to help me find out if these crayfish can cause food poisoning. You know, safety is the most important thing when running a restaurant."
"Okay, boss, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Director Liu felt much more at ease. He knew, of course, that the food poisoning incident was untrue.
However, he did not reply immediately, partly because he did not want his superiors to think that he was talking nonsense without having done any research.
Another reason he wanted to take this opportunity was to have more contact with the leaders. He had been the director for several years and was already eligible for promotion.
maybe...
Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't fall out with Ye Cheng, otherwise this matter would have been difficult to handle.
......
The next day, after Ye Cheng got up, he first checked the system.
Luck value: 30+20
Points: 7100
Deposits: 160,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest)
The luck stat is a bit low, but Ye Cheng checked the weather. Today it's mostly cloudy turning overcast, so going out to sea shouldn't be a problem.
Having not been out for several days, Ye Cheng was a bit rusty, but he still decided to go out for a stroll.
They called Xiao Hu, brought some good food and drinks, and the two of them rushed to the dock.
Although the weather wasn't great today, it was the best day in the past few days, so there were quite a few people going out to sea. Duan Chunsheng's boat was no longer there.
"Uncle Duan is definitely a workaholic; he doesn't even need to rest," Ye Cheng remarked.
This guy is so diligent. Before, when he didn't have a boat to compare it to, it was fine, but now that I see him so often, it suddenly makes me seem a bit lazy.
They boarded their own boat and sputtered off the dock.
To be honest, after not opening for a few days, I've really gotten a bit rusty.
"Brother, where are we going to trawle today?" Xiao Hu asked casually as the boat left the dock.
"Let's go with fishing ground number 2, there are lots of fish there."
Xiao Hu chuckled, looking at Ye Cheng with a mocking expression.
"Bro, I think it's not that there are too many fish, it's that there are too many beautiful girls. You just want to see if you can run into your school beauty, right?"
Having his thoughts exposed, Ye Cheng blushed and said stiffly, "So what? We're classmates. If anyone needs help, I can give them some pointers. You're just too filthy-minded."
"Yes, yes, I'm disgusting. I don't know who downloaded so many videos."
Ye Cheng's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at Xiao Hu.
"If you keep peeking at my things, I'll change the password on my computer next time!"
"No, bro, how about you buy one for me next time?"
"Get lost, your thinking is not simple. Computers are for looking up information and studying, you want to watch porn."
"No, brother, if I have a computer, I can study too."
"Learn what? Learn Japanese."
"Hehe, actually I prefer learning English." Xiao Hu said with a sly look on his face.
...
The weather at sea wasn't great today; the further out we went, the thicker the clouds became, with patches of dark clouds everywhere.
However, as long as there are no strong winds or heavy rains, it generally does not affect fishing.
After Ye Cheng arrived at Fishing Ground No. 2, he had Xiao Hu put down the trawl net, and then he started running around doing the net in a very orderly manner, sometimes left and sometimes right, which made Xiao Hu shake his head.
"Brother, if you just want to find someone, then go find someone. With you driving like this, we won't be able to catch any fish."
"You don't know anything. I'm setting up an array. Ever heard of the Bagua array? Just wait and see. In a moment, there will definitely be a big fish, the kind that bursts the net."
Although he said that, Ye Cheng knew that his luck was a bit low today, and the probability of getting something good was not high.
Ye Cheng spent a full hour pulling the first net, but when it was finally pulled up, there was only half a net inside, and it was so densely packed that it was impossible to see what was inside.
They opened the clasp and released the contents of the trawl net, which instantly piled up like a small mountain.
Xiao Hu and Ye Cheng stood in front of Xiao Shan, speechless.
This net, besides some garbage, contained mostly snails.
It's not the kind of snails like the fragrant snail or the cat's eye snail, but the kind of long, thin, and worthless bamboo shoot snail.
The shell of the bamboo shoot snail is slender, cone-shaped or bamboo shoot-shaped, with a smooth surface or longitudinal and transverse spiral ribs, resembling a screw.
This is a typical species where the meat is removed but the shell is kept. Not only is there little meat, but some of it is also poisonous. Apart from the shell itself being used to make handicrafts, almost no one eats it.
Moreover, even the handicrafts are the lowest-end kind.
So, for fishermen, if they catch something like this, there's basically only one way to deal with it: pick up a big shovel and scoop it back into the sea.
"Look, there's quite a lot of stuff," Ye Cheng said stubbornly.
"Brother, it's more, it's more that we put them back into the sea." Xiao Hu reluctantly picked up the shovel and started working. He always did these kinds of chores.
There were so many snails that it took Xiaohu seven or eight shovelfuls to basically clear them out.
Ye Cheng sat to one side and began sorting through the other catches of fish.
