Ah Jin and Lao Fang were both anxious.
He pushed the person in front of him and said, "Hey buddy, move aside."
The burly man in front didn't even turn his head and shouted, "What are you pushing for? I haven't even seen it yet."
What do you want to see?
"Let me see who's coming to collect the goods, and then I'll take on the job."
“If you keep blocking the way like this, you won’t be able to get any work done.”
Why?
"Because I'm here to collect the goods!"
Ah Jin cursed.
The burly man in front turned around solemnly, and the people around him hurriedly made way for him, smiling and flattering him, "So it's Brother Jin."
"Come on, have a smoke."
"I'm so sorry..."
Ah Jin took the cigarette: "You come with me and do a good job moving the goods later."
"Okay, okay."
The burly man grinned and helped Ah Jin push through the crowd.
Others quickly raised their hands as well.
If the dockworkers are too busy, they won't come to watch the spectacle.
At this time, the fishing boats that were supposed to return have already returned, and those that haven't are still adrift at sea.
That's why Wu An's return at this point has generated such a high level of attention.
The discussion was about whether the fishing boats were overloaded, with everyone holding their own opinions, and they were almost arguing.
The appearance of A Jin and Lao Fang silenced those who thought there was no margin call.
Why?
Because Ah Jin is Gao Qiangqi's top henchman, and Gao Qiangqi is currently busy expanding his business outside, Ah Jin is basically in charge of all the big and small matters in the market.
Ah Jin rarely comes to the dock, but when he does, it means there's a large shipment to pick up.
Old Fang too.
Although his business wasn't as big as Gao Qiangqi's, he was still one of the top vendors in the market.
The fact that he came in person shows that he values Wu An and his group's catch.
Those who felt they had been liquidated were quite agitated.
"Look, even Boss Gao's men have arrived. It must be a margin call, otherwise Brother Jin wouldn't have had a chance to show up."
"And Boss Fang, he's here too."
For some reason, these people seemed even happier than Wu An and the other parties involved.
They looked so smug; anyone who didn't know better would think their fishing boat had burst its hold.
"Great, great, here's a job."
"Brother Jin, look at me, look at me! I just finished eating, I have plenty of energy."
Some of the hangers-on raised their hands and shouted.
Ah Jin and Lao Fang boarded the fishing boat.
Wu An had already briefly explained the situation to them over the phone earlier.
After exchanging greetings, Lao Fang started calling on his helpers to come up and move the goods.
Old Fang looked at the white pomfret on the deck and said, "They're quite fresh."
"You handled it very well."
Wu An said with a smile, "Aqing and I don't know anything about these things. It's all thanks to the master craftsman we have on our ship now."
He called Old Fu out.
They greeted each other, and Wu An originally wanted to introduce them, but it turned out that they already knew each other.
Wu An chatted with A Jin and Lao Fang, then got off the fishing boat and stood by the dock to watch.
Aqing and Lao Futou didn't come down, and the two of them were worried about them, so they could help move the goods.
The hangers-on that Ah Jin and Lao Fang found were all people they frequently collaborated with; they were all seasoned veterans with extensive experience.
First, they carried the white pomfret off the deck, then they carried it into the cabin.
The hangers-on were both surprised and delighted to see the boat full of seafood. Even a regular trawler might not have such a catch!
I never expected to encounter such a big job so late at night.
I can drink a couple more bottles of alcohol for a late-night snack.
"I'll be busy."
"It's good to be busy, because you can make money."
"Brothers, let's do it."
The helpers had a clear division of labor: some loaded the cargo inside the cabin, some received it on the boat, and others carried it down to the ship.
The market is some distance from the dock.
Ah Jin and Lao Fang have a truck that can deliver goods; once it's full, they leave immediately, and another truck will take over.
Box after box of fish was delivered, and it continued for a good seven or eight minutes before it was over. Some people couldn't stand it anymore and left.
There wasn't much to see, and it even made me feel upset.
How come they are so lucky to have such a great harvest after just one trip to sea?
They could only watch helplessly.
I feel resentful.
The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
It's better to avoid seeing it than to be bothered by it.
Some people are different; the more uncomfortable they feel, the more they want to watch, and they even pretend otherwise.
His eyes were red with jealousy, but he spoke of it with a nonchalant tone, belittling others.
"Oh, I thought it was something else, but it's just a white pomfret."
"What's so strange about that?"
“When my family’s trawler goes out to sea, we often catch these white pomfret, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of kilograms in one haul.”
Hearing such sarcastic remarks, Wu An and A Jin both turned to look at them.
Old Fang chuckled: "Is he Chen Laoda's son from Shangwan Village? I forgot his name."
Wu An knew that the speaker was Chen Baosheng, the youngest son of Chen Laoda.
However, since Lao Fang had forgotten the person's name, it meant he didn't care, so he didn't bother to remind him.
Old Fu said that this kid is wicked at a young age, even more vicious than his father, Chen Laoda.
A number of people stood around Chen Baosheng and chimed in, "Young Master Chen, you're giving these small fishermen too much credit."
"How can these small fishing boats compare to your large trawlers?"
"That's right."
"It would be amazing if we could get a few hundred kilograms."
Chen Baosheng chuckled and said, "That's true. Comparing my trawlers to theirs is indeed a bit unfair."
"These small-time fishermen have never seen much of the world. They think they've struck it rich just because they caught a few white pomfret."
"Actually, it's nothing at all."
Everyone around him echoed "yes, yes, yes," and those who came with Chen Baosheng to watch the excitement at this time were all lackeys.
People around them would occasionally turn around and look at Chen Baosheng and his group when they heard them talking like that.
Who is this person? Do you have a grudge against them, to say such nasty things?
Lao Fang and A Jin looked at Wu An.
Wu An nodded and said calmly, "There is a grudge."
Ah Jin shook his head: "What's the big grudge?"
Wu An smiled and said, "It can be resolved."
Ah Jin pursed his lips and said nothing. Gao Qiangqi had told him that if Wu An was in trouble, he should not hesitate to help if he needed to.
In reality, he couldn't find any opportunity to perform.
Old Fang said from the side, "Ah An, don't mind him, don't pay any attention to him. He's just a sour grapes."
"That kid surnamed Chen was just amazed by the catch on your boat and got jealous."
“If you argue, you’ll only embolden these people.”
Ah Jin interjected, "Old Fang, you're showing off. You think you're a smart guy, but I, Brother An, am not?"
"Do you really need to meddle in something so trivial?"
Old Fang exclaimed, "I'm just confused because I'm worried!"
"Damn, you got me."
"Ha ha."
Wu An laughed along, jokingly saying, "It's a good thing A Qing didn't get off the boat. If she had heard that, she probably would have gotten into a fight."
He said that, but it would be a lie to say that he didn't care.
Not arguing with people doesn't mean you have to just let them have their way.
We should still be mindful of what needs to be considered.
Otherwise, even if someone disgusts you, it won't hurt or itch, but if you think about it when you go to sleep at night, it will still make you feel bad.
If Chen Baosheng provokes him, then he has to retaliate in person, otherwise this guy might secretly be laughing to himself later.
Besides, this little grudge doesn't need to linger overnight.
You can apply anytime, anywhere.
