Wu An had originally planned to go to the village dock, but as soon as his phone got a signal, he received messages from Foreman Li and Director Chen, asking him to come to the village.
Nothing else.
It's about road construction.
Wu An agreed, and figured he could go pick up the banner while he was at it.
Head straight to the town's dock.
The catch from fish traps is more stable than that from longline fishing, mainly consisting of shrimp and crabs, especially mantis shrimp, which are plentiful during the month when the fishing season opens.
Then it will decrease, and then it will disappear.
These shrimp are seasonal; once the season is over, they're gone, much like seasonal vegetables. If off-season farming were possible, there would likely be a large market for them.
I just don't know if it's even possible to make it.
As Wu An was lost in thought, the fishing boat smoothly docked at the shore. A Jin waved vigorously. Gao Qiangqi was very busy; he would come to pick up the goods in person whenever he had free time.
Wu An didn't think it was a big deal.
It's good to be busy.
If Gao Qiangqi grows bigger and stronger sooner, he can also rely on powerful backers.
Gao Qiangqi didn't offer much explanation for this.
Good.
This shows that these are true friends.
If they were just ordinary friends, you'd have to offer a pretentious explanation, saying that the reason relationships need to be maintained is because the feelings aren't very deep.
In response to this.
Wu An deeply understands this.
In his previous life, he and Aqing hadn't seen each other for over ten years, but when they met again, there was absolutely no awkwardness between them.
That's what feelings are.
It won't fade away with time; we can still have fun together when we meet.
I greeted them.
Wu An told A Jin to hurry up, as he was going home for dinner today.
Ah Jin quickly found a few workers, and they unloaded, sorted, and settled accounts.
Gao Qiangqi is not here.
Wu An took the order to collect the money. Seeing Gao Qiangqi's business expanding and becoming more and more formalized, he couldn't help but sigh that he was still too slow.
I need to hurry up and catch up with the big shots.
I took the money; the total was [amount] yuan.
Because of the sudden storm, only a dozen or so rows of fish traps were thrown in, and the income from each row of fish traps was only about a thousand yuan, less than two thousand yuan.
Is the income considered high?
The fact that Old Fu's hands were trembling when he received the 1,400 yuan he was entitled to speaks volumes.
In comparison.
It's definitely considered high.
But it still didn't meet his expectations.
Aqing received 2,650 yuan, and after deducting costs, Wu An's net income was around 20,000 yuan.
“This is too much… Ah An, I didn’t go with you when you put it in the trap, so I’ll just take half.” Old Fu took out seven hundred yuan and handed it to Wu An.
Wu An was taken aback. He hadn't expected this. He didn't say much, took the money, and went to the nearby shop to get two packs of cigarettes.
"Take it and smoke it; consider it an employee benefit."
They tossed the items to Aqing and Old Fu respectively. Aqing nodded and put them away without saying anything. Old Fu was extremely excited when he saw this.
This boss is really nice.
Wu An smiled. He wasn't quite at using the art of winning people's hearts naturally yet, but that was alright. He could take it slow. After all, it was all real money, and the main thing was to be practical.
There are no tricks.
Only sincerity can earn sincerity.
He believed that Old Fu would work even harder on the ship.
Old Fu looked at the money in his hand and felt uneasy. This money was too easy to earn, like a windfall. Even winning money from playing cards wasn't this easy.
But looking at the cigarette tucked under his armpit, it feels incredibly real.
"This...this...this..."
Old Fu can't speak fluently anymore. If he wants it, he's embarrassed; if he doesn't want it, he really can't bear to part with it.
Wu An patted Old Fu on the shoulder and said, "Old Fu, calm down, this is nothing, it's only the first day."
"If you follow me, things will definitely get better in the future."
"I also have something to do, so I won't be able to keep you company for the rest of the time."
As they were talking.
Mai Hangyu arrived, and Wu An and A Qing got on the motorcycle. Luckily, the motorcycle was big enough that the three of them didn't feel crowded. With a "whoosh," the motorcycle roared away.
Old Fu watched and thought to himself, "It's so good to be young," and hurried off to get busy.
They wrote a thank-you letter, picked up a banner, and delivered it to the town government compound and the police station, praising the person for being quick to help and doing practical things for the people. The town government leaders were pleasantly surprised.
Goodness.
So they've already sent a thank-you letter and a banner?
It seems they didn't help you arrest the person either.
But no matter what, receiving a banner is always a good thing. Everyone is happy about it, and someone was even arranged to take photos.
Going to the police station, the same process was repeated.
Everyone was very satisfied.
Who doesn't like to be praised and thanked, especially public servants who serve the people? It's no exaggeration to say that this is the highest praise.
You mean money?
Hey.
They've become immature.
Can we say this out in public?
The leader praised the two and told everyone to learn from Liu Long and Yu Kailang.
Everyone was very accommodating, and the applause was thunderous.
Liu Long couldn't stop smiling.
Having worked at the grassroots level for so many years, this is the first time I've felt so proud; it can be called the highlight of my working career.
The banner was hung up on the spot. Liu Long was very happy to see the banner, patted Yu Kailang on the shoulder and praised Wu An for doing a great job.
This person is capable and knows how to handle things, and he doesn't cause trouble for others. He told Yu Kailang to get along well with Wu An, and maybe there will be more good things in the future.
Yu Kailang, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, feeling that it wasn't enough.
But he thought that if he could prove that Boss Chen had failed to save him, and arrest him directly, wouldn't that be even better?
To say whether Old Fu was happy or not, or whether he was satisfied or not.
Seeing his big smile revealing his molars, there was no need to ask any more questions.
After all that fuss, taking photos with the town leaders and getting a chance to show his face, he was somewhat flattered and overwhelmed by their concern and warm greetings.
This is the first time in my life I've been so valued.
Not to mention that under pressure from all sides, Boss Chen was willing to pay the withheld wages, but because he didn't have that much money on hand, he said he had to go home to get the money, and he has already gone back.
Yu Kailang repeatedly assured Chen Laoda that he would make him hand over the money, and if Chen refused, he would personally go to his door to ask for it, and he would make sure the money was paid as soon as possible.
Therefore, all parties are satisfied.
The only regret is that the Chen family didn't apologize in person. But there's nothing we can do about it; the Chen family doesn't admit to failing to help, so there's no need for them to apologize.
Old Fu was already satisfied.
His feud with the Chen family was now irreconcilable.
Old Fu didn't care.
He's barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes; if Boss Chen really wants to mess with him, he'll make a scene.
In the past, he would have been quite timid, but things are different now.
Why?
Because he is now following Wu An.
He felt that if it really came down to a head-on confrontation, even the entire Chen family combined might not be able to defeat Wu An.
The town government and the police station immediately displayed the thank-you letter and banner written by Old Fu.
Display it openly and generously.
The only unhappy ones were the Chen family, since they were portrayed as the complete villains in the thank-you letter and banner.
The more scathing Old Fu's praise, the more wicked the Chen family became.
Simply put, the achievements of the town government compound and the police station are built on the crimes of the Chen family.
When Boss Chen came to the police station to deliver the money, he saw the thank-you letter and the banner, and he was furious and a little confused. This action was not exactly the same as his, but it was exactly the same.
If he could report the plagiarism, he would be in serious trouble.
He immediately stated his position, demanding that the police station take back the posted thank-you letter.
The police station was naturally unhappy and told him to leave the money and get out of there, not to cause trouble.
He was so angry that he blurted out that Old Fu's thank-you letter was complete nonsense and not true at all.
The police station was also angry when they heard this.
Is the thank-you letter utter nonsense?
To put it mildly, this is a denial of what they did; to put it more seriously, it means that the police station is engaging in fraudulent practices.
This is a serious problem!
The director couldn't hold back any longer and had someone "invite" Boss Chen into the interrogation room!
