Mai Hangyu said, "Yes."
"It is said that someone happened to see it and thought that this behavior had a very bad influence. Leader Qi told Leader Xi to take this as a lesson and said that no matter what the masses give, whether it is valuable or not, Leader Xi should not accept it."
"I heard from Director Chen that everyone thinks it's quite serious."
Wu An's face darkened upon hearing this.
Goodness.
It's hard to say whether Leader Xi can withstand this accusation, but he feels he can't handle it.
The acceptance of bribes is serious, and so is the offering of bribes.
If rumors start circulating, he can forget about ever making a name for himself again.
Wu An asked, "And then?"
Mai Hangyu said, "And then what?"
"As soon as I heard about this, I immediately called you to tell you."
Wu An: "Then you can ask Director Chen... Never mind, I'll just call him myself."
Hang up the phone.
Wu An took a deep breath. He had been feeling quite comfortable after a good night's sleep, but upon hearing the news, his mood plummeted. He then searched for the attending leader's phone number.
After thinking for a while, I pressed the call button.
Not long after.
Connected.
"Hey, An, what's up so early in the morning?"
"Did I disturb the leader?"
"I'm already on my way to work."
"Here's the thing, I learned today that there was some misunderstanding because of the earth dragon I sent earlier. I wanted to ask if there's anything I can do, since it was my fault and I have a responsibility to clarify things."
"For this?"
"Boss, this is my fault, I..."
"Alright, alright, stop taking responsibility. None of us are at fault. I already clarified this at the meeting, and it won't affect you or me in any way."
"That's good, that's good. Boss, how did you do it? I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to learn."
"I delivered the earthworms you gave me to the town's canteen. I made an extra meal for everyone at noon. The earthworms were indeed delicious, and Old Qi ate the most."
Wu An laughed along.
After hanging up the phone, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just trying to give away a little earth dragon, but it almost caused a huge problem.
What are leaders most afraid of?
The people I fear most are those who cause me trouble.
He almost became that kind of person.
If something were to happen to Leader Xi because of this, everyone would have to avoid him from now on.
Fortunately, the leader handled the situation well; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Wu An felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it.
Just then, Mai Hangyu called.
Connected.
Mai Hangyu said in a light tone, "Brother An, have you made the call?"
Wu An hummed in agreement.
Mai Hangyu continued, "I just asked Director Chen, and he said that since Leader Xi is upright, he has nothing to fear. He sent the earth dragon to the canteen to give everyone an extra meal."
"After Leader Qi raised this question, Leader Xi responded easily and even asked Leader Qi in return, 'You kept praising how delicious it was when you were eating it,' which almost embarrassed Leader Qi, hahaha."
Wu An did not laugh.
Mai Hangyu chuckled twice, then, sensing something was off, asked, "Brother An, isn't it funny?"
Wu An sighed: "If you lose face in public because of me, how would you feel?"
Mai Hangyu was taken aback: "I'll be unhappy, won't I?"
Wu An: "So, what do you think Qi will do if he is outmaneuvered by Xi in a formal meeting?"
Mai Hangyu: "This... they can't possibly be taking their anger out on us, can they?"
Wu An: "I hope not."
After hanging up the phone, Wu An suddenly realized that more and more things were happening around him, and troubles were popping up one after another. This made him really worried that one day, even if he made a lot of money, he would not feel happy.
Looking at it this way...
Going out to sea to fish is still the most comfortable.
Not only do they make money, but they also don't have any bad or unethical practices.
But when you're in the world of martial arts, you're not always in control of your own destiny.
Now that he's already set up his business, he can't just abandon it halfway through.
get up.
Wash up.
While eating breakfast, Wu An mentioned that he was going to the county today, and Wu Ping interrupted inappropriately, "Isn't it supposed to be a test voyage tomorrow? Why are you going there today?"
Before Wu An could speak, Mei Yueqin started criticizing Wu Ping, complaining that he couldn't even shut up while eating and asked why he asked so many questions, saying that Wu An wasn't a child anymore.
Upon hearing this, Wu An chuckled and offered no further explanation.
I drove out.
He picked up Gu Anran at the intersection.
Gu Anran dressed up beautifully and went straight to the driving school. After getting her license, not only Gu Anran but also Wu An was very happy. Driving was no longer a nerve-wracking experience.
He had already prepared a contingency plan: if he was caught, he would use his connections to find someone to take the blame.
Don't ask if it's okay.
Just ask.
As a result, all his preparations were in vain.
Good.
I drove to the hotel and checked in. While I was driving, my phone kept beeping with messages. I took it out and saw that the payment for the pearls from the white-lipped oysters and the fish had arrived.
Gao Qiangqi also sent several messages reminding him to get involved.
Wu An glanced at it briefly.
The white-lipped oyster pearls sold for 2.4 million this time, 400,000 more than last time. In terms of quality, they were better than last time. This time, they specifically sought out larger pearls, so the number of pearls they opened was not only greater, but also of better quality.
He personally received 1.68 million.
The catch was also good, especially the nine swordfish. He originally thought he would be lucky to sell them for 150,000, but they sold for 180,000, far exceeding his expectations.
Those three large yellow croakers were also good; they sold for over 20,000 yuan.
Golden pomfret, conger eel, red eel, blue crab, and the like, I won't go into details, he doesn't have time to look at them closely right now. All in all, there are...
Total: 270,000.
Originally, the golden pomfret and swordfish were caught using Old Fu's fishing tackle. He was going to give Old Fu an extra 10%, but Old Fu refused, saying that he brought them to the boat so that everyone could use them together.
He is happy to share.
He also told Wu An not to set a precedent, and that once on the boat, he would have absolute control over the catch made during normal working hours.
If it's during rest time, Wu An insists that everyone keep their own catch, which is fine.
Wu Anshen agreed.
He didn't understand what Old Fu was saying; he had to listen and learn.
afternoon.
Wu An and Gu Anran went out shopping.
I spent half a day strolling around the pedestrian street. It was a bit deserted on a weekday. When it was almost lunchtime, I wandered into the antique alley, chatted with Mr. Zhang, and had a meal together.
Naturally, one wouldn't visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wu An took out the Melodrama and showed it to Old Zhang.
Old Zhang took a look and exclaimed with delight, "Melo Pearl, it's in very good condition. This stuff is even more valuable than ambergris!"
Wu An asked, "Is it easy to make a move?"
Old Zhang said, "I won't accept it."
"But I can ask around for you."
"It's not a big problem."
Upon hearing this, Wu An felt much relieved and asked, "What about the price?"
Old Zhang said, "As for the price, it's best to go through an auction. They are professionals and can drive up the price of this stuff."
"Or contact Liang Rong."
"He's been quite active lately."
