I am the only one who can do it: I think I am really going to become an immortal

Zheng Yuliang, who was supposed to help, was standing aside, at a loss.

Because the experienced Zheng Dalei was standing next to the old man and helping him, he was almost doing everything from weighing, peeling and bargaining.

Zheng Dalei's son Zheng Rongang was standing behind Zheng Yuliang and massaging his back.

When Zheng Yuliang saw Chen Yun arriving, he fled and stood beside Chen Yun, obviously a little confused by Zheng Dalei's enthusiasm.

When Zheng Dalei saw Chen Yun coming, he was also excited and wanted to say something, but Chen Yun's decisive shift of gaze made him immediately stop talking.

Ignoring Zheng Dalei's gaze, Chen Yun looked at the old man who was raising shrimps in front of him and said, "Uncle, can I sell my swordfish to you?"

As he spoke, Chen Yun placed the swordfish he caught with his bare hands on the stall.

Seeing this, the old man did not refuse, but said: "It may not be sold."

"It's okay, I'll just sell it for fun."

Chen Yun nodded and said nothing.

It doesn’t matter whether the fish can be sold or not. It’s just that after the fisherman catches the fish, he feels it would be a waste to just leave it there.

I see the old man is so polite.

Chen Yun also walked forward with a smile, took Zheng Dalei's bench next to him and sat down.

Then we started chatting with the old man.

Seeing this, Zheng Dalei stood up and chatted seriously with the buyer, and also helped with some weighing and packing work.

Zheng Yuliang was also busy and went up to do some work, which caused Zheng Rongang, who was massaging his back, to look left and right. Then, after seeing his father Zheng Dalei's stern eyes, he consciously ran out to solicit customers in the crowd.

Soon.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows at a guest that Zheng Ronggang had brought over, feeling a little surprised.

He was a strong man with a slightly dark skin from years of outdoor work. He was wearing an old suit that was stained with the smell of seafood.

There were two younger brothers following behind him.

The moment he saw Chen Yun, the man subconsciously opened his mouth in surprise.

･･････････

Next to the market, next to the notice board of the community service center.

Chen Yun stood here with that man.

The man smiled and handed over a cigarette.

However, Chen Yun pushed his hand away to express his refusal.

"Hou Liansheng, you are doing pretty well now."

Chen Yun complained with a smile.

The person in front of him was his college classmate in the same major. Although they were not roommates, their relationship was acceptable and they could be considered acquaintances.

"It's just so-so. As a purchasing manager for a restaurant, I have to travel to various fishing villages and fishing bases in all weathers."

"The two who followed me are just new employees in the purchasing department."

After putting away the cigarette that was handed to him, Hou Liansheng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he is not that powerful now.

then.

The two chatted politely for a long time.

Hou Liansheng deliberately did not ask Chen Yun how he was doing now, but just chatted silently about some things that happened between the two of them in college.

Chen Yun glanced at Hou Liansheng in front of him meaningfully, and continued chatting with him with a smile.

Until more than ten minutes later.

Hou Liansheng's two younger brothers waved at him from a distance.

Seeing this, Hou Liansheng also stopped talking about the past, looked at Chen Yun and said, "Let's not talk about the past today. I have to go back after shopping. I will treat you to dinner another day."

Done.

Hou Liansheng said goodbye to Chen Yun with a smile.

It was as if he was afraid that Chen Yun had discovered something and was going to look for him.

……

Hou Liansheng returned to the car.

A younger brother of his followed him and drove off.

Hou Liansheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was wondering how his old classmate had become a fisherman when he heard another younger brother sitting in the back seat speak.

"Manager, we did as you asked. While you two were chatting, we took care of your old classmate who was not doing well. We bought everything on that stall, even the swordfish that we didn't need."

I am reporting my work seriously.

Hearing this, Hou Liansheng nodded and said to his younger brother in the driver's seat: "Well, we won't go to the village in the south to buy shrimps later. Let's go to the fishing village in the north to buy some cod and then go back."

After saying that, Hou Liansheng looked at his younger brother in the driver's seat and nodded, and prepared to close his eyes and rest.

Although he was used to going out to buy things early in the morning, he still felt a little tired.

If he hadn't already gotten a well-paid job as a purchasing manager in this large five-star hotel, he would really want to quit.

Seeing this, the younger brother in the back seat spoke up again: "But manager, I feel that your old classmate is not doing as badly as you think."

"When we were shopping, the big guy who was in charge of weighing and packing kept looking at your old classmate with a look that I find hard to describe. It felt like he was respectful and fearful at the same time."

"It's similar to the look that the intern Xiao Zhang gave him when he was scolded by the chairman last time. It's as if there's a huge difference in status between the two people."

After the guy in the back row finished speaking.

A serious look appeared on his face.

Hou Liansheng was also stunned after listening to this analysis, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Ah? He can't be a village cadre of this fishing village, right? Let me go back and check it out."

After saying that, Hou Liansheng narrowed his eyes.

He originally thought that his old classmates were not doing well, so he secretly asked his men to take care of them.

Could it be that……

Am I just being too sentimental?

Chapter 176 Director Chen, I was a police dog

After returning to the hotel.

Hou Liansheng handed over all the purchased items to the designated person in charge.

The two younger brothers were responsible for unloading the goods with several kitchen helpers, while Hou Liansheng and the head chef were smoking together in the stairwell.

Under the dim light, the narrow stairwell seems like a corner forgotten by time, filled with a quiet and private atmosphere.

Two men leaned on an old cement handrail. In the smoke, their figures seemed a little hazy, but with an indescribable tacit understanding and relaxation.

"Today's goods are still good as usual, but what the hell is that swordfish?"

The chef couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

Swordfish is popular for its delicious meat and delicate taste, which is suitable for many cooking methods.

He actually knows a lot of ways to do it.

But swordfish is rare here.

Sailfish are large, very fast fish in the ocean, known for their power and speed, so catching them in real life is an extremely challenging activity that usually requires professional skills and equipment.

Moreover, swordfish mainly live in waters further south, so they rarely encounter them.

"I saw it on a stall in a fishing village and just took it back."

Hou Liansheng said this without giving further explanation on the swordfish issue.

You definitely can’t say openly that you want to take care of your old classmates.

After hearing this, the chef did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he tilted his head back comfortably, savoring the fine cigarette that Hou Liansheng handed to him.

After a while.

Looking at the chef smoking comfortably, Hou Liansheng couldn't help asking, "Old Wu, you have a wide network of contacts. Can you help me ask if there is a village official named Chen Yun who has been appointed in the nearby fishing villages in recent years?"

The chef was stunned when he heard this.

Then he looked at Hou Liansheng helplessly and complained: "Okay, okay, I know you don't smoke Zhonghua for nothing. I'll ask for you when I'm done today."

In terms of connections, he still has some.

This is one of the largest hotels in Qixi City. As the head chef and shareholder of the hotel, he has met many dignitaries in Qixi City and has the contact information of many of them.

As for Hou Liansheng’s problem, it’s not a problem at all.

"Okay, thank you, Old Wu."

Hou Liansheng smiled and hooked his arm around the chef's shoulder, revealing a grateful smile.

The investigation was not intended to do anything bad, and he was not the kind of person who was jealous of his brother driving a Land Rover.

He even said that he was willing to help those friends who he thought were not doing well.

After all, in this day and age, more friends mean more paths.

Otherwise, how could he have worked his way up to become a purchasing manager at a top hotel before he was even 30 years old? Wasn’t it because he had so many friends?

If the investigation found that Chen Yun was not doing as well as he thought, he would not deliberately look down on others because of this. He might even take care of him from time to time and regard it as a long-term investment.

If the investigation finds that Chen Yun is different from what he thinks and is actually doing well, he might even become a village official in that fishing village who has the final say.

Being so good at making friends, he naturally would not miss such an opportunity to build relationships with old friends. This is exactly his way of dealing with people.

Not to mention currying favor, at least you have to get familiar with them.

If you need something from others in the future, you will be able to speak up better.

Otherwise, you are not familiar with it at all.

How could the other party pay attention to him?

Appropriate social interaction and communication are sufficient conditions for developing personal connections.

If they were familiar with each other, it would be different. He could even ask her with a flattering face, "Director Chen, about my being a police dog..."

Of course.

He didn't exaggerate to the extent that even a police dog would be willing to be one. It was highly unlikely that Chen Yun could become a department director at such a young age.

But that's the truth.

If there is an opportunity to build connections, you naturally should not miss it.

If there is a chance, there is nothing wrong in clinging to the thighs of an old classmate.

If it were you, wouldn’t you hug me?

If anyone who claims that he is not interested in flattering others encounters this kind of opportunity, he would probably be like those losers who claim that they are not interested in women but meet a super actress and would want to stuff his balls into her.

Anyway, Hou Liansheng thinks he is real enough.

This isn’t shabby at all!

Zhengjia Village, a seaside fishing village.

The market starts at five in the morning and basically closes at noon.

The fishmongers' stalls, which were once filled with all kinds of sea fish, shrimps and crabs, are now almost gone, with only a few left, still sparkling silver on the ice.

They were either washing the stalls with hoses or sorting out fishing nets and weights, preparing to transfer the unsold seafood to refrigerators for storage until tomorrow.

There was still a faint smell of salty sea water and fish in the air.

As the last transaction came to an end, the market gradually returned to its original appearance, and the empty stone roads glowed in the afternoon sun.
