Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

The following day. Regional Fisheries Bureau, Director's Office.

Chen Ming was hunched over his desk, his pen scratching across the documents. There was a knock at the door. He took off his reading glasses and rubbed his temples.

"Enter."

Li, a clerk from the Fisheries Bureau, pushed open the door and entered. He was lean and stood ramrod straight, holding a thin sheet in his hand, and walked very quickly.

"Director Chen, the order from Yang Bai is settled. Five thousand catties of grouper, all intact."

Chen Ming's pen froze in mid-air, the ink spreading into a black dot on the paper. He looked up, staring intently at Li Zai, his hand already outstretched: "Let me see it. Five thousand jin? All by himself?"

Li handed over the list, nodding repeatedly: "At first I didn't believe it either, so I went to the warehouse of Hai'an County Aquatic Products Company to count it. It was a solid 5,000 jin, all of which was stacked in the ice storage."

Chen Ming put his glasses back on and scanned the stamps and numbers on the form word by word. He shook his head and smiled.

"Five thousand catties of grouper in one day. If anyone else had said that, I would have had them thrown out long ago. Where did this kid set the trap?"

"Comrade Hou Sanli reported that it is in the core area of ​​Widow's Sea," Li said in a low voice.

"The core area?" Chen Ming gasped. What kind of place was Widow's Sea? Everyone in the region's aquaculture system knew. Countless groups of experts from the province had gone in with advanced equipment, only to come out looking disheveled. Yang Bai not only came and went freely, but this time he had directly raided the core area.

This isn't fishing, it's like bringing back a gold mine. The funny thing is, this kid didn't even break a sweat.

"Good lad." Chen Ming slammed the list on the table. "This batch of grouper maw is the most valuable. Several big pharmacies in the city have been urging us to send it over immediately."

There's a severe shortage of grouper glue on the legitimate market, and fishermen mostly sell what they catch on the black market. When Yang Bai was initially assigned this job, the standard of producing 1,000 jin in 15 days was already a challenge. Who could have predicted that he would exceed the target in just one day?

"And one more thing," Chen Ming tapped the edge of the table, "notify Haihua Canned Food Factory that the 50,000-ton order should be processed through Haian County Aquatic Products Company's account first. Also, grant Yang Bai three special privileges for the application for 100-ton fishing vessels."

A bet's a bet. Chen Ming waved his hand: "Go do it."

……

Haiba Village.

The sputtering sound of the motorcycle exhaust pipe faded at the village entrance. Yang Bai pushed his bike into the courtyard, a bank draft tucked into his pocket. One hundred and one thousand seventy-nine yuan and eighty-six cents. The payment for the tuna.

Looking across the entire county, this amount of money is enough to buy two streets. Definitely the wealthiest person's setup. But even the richest person needs to go back to the village for dinner now.

Pushing open the door, the aroma of food wafted into his nostrils. He had been held up by Zhang Sheng's mess yesterday, staying up until midnight to give a statement at the commune. By his calculations, he hadn't had a hot meal cooked by Su Wanqiu and Zhang Ning for four whole days.

Yang Qiaoqiao rushed over with her short legs and hugged his leg tightly.

"Daddy's home!"

"Hey, you're back." Yang Bai bent down, picked up his daughter, kissed her on her tender face, and sat down at the dining table.

Su Wanqiu brought out the soup, and Zhang Ning followed behind with a bowl and chopsticks. The two sat down on either side of Yang Bai, and simultaneously put meat into Yang Bai's bowl with their chopsticks.

"You've worked hard these past few days, eat more," Su Wanqiu said with a smile. "After you finish eating, I have something to show you."

"What is it?" Yang Bai asked, his mouth full of rice, his words muffled.

Zhang Ning joked from the side, "If you tell me, it won't be a surprise anymore. Hurry up and eat yours."

The two exchanged a glance. Yang Bai had been busy taking care of the family, and they had decided to show him something nice.

Yang Bai looked left and right; the two were acting very mysteriously. He quickly finished his food in his bowl, pushed the empty bowl forward, and said, "Finished. Can we watch now?"

Su Wanqiu put down her chopsticks and stood up: "Look at you, so impatient. Come on, let's go to the bedroom."

bedroom?

Yang Bai swallowed hard. What a brilliant choice of location for this surprise! Had Wanqiu acquired some novel clothes to spice things up? He rubbed his hands together, his steps becoming lighter.

Immediately afterwards, Su Wanqiu turned and waved to Zhang Ning: "Ningning, stop eating and come join us."

"Hey, I'm here." Zhang Ning put down the half-eaten chicken leg and ran to the water tank to wash his hands.

Yang Bai was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Zhang Ning is going too? Have these two finally reached some kind of historic consensus and decided to go together...?

His breathing became heavy. No wonder it was called a surprise.

But Qiaoqiao was still gnawing on ribs on the table.

"Late Autumn," Yang Bai leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Let Ningning come along, but what about Qiaoqiao?"

Su Wanqiu gave him a strange look: "What do you mean, what should we do? Let her eat. Once she's full and sleepy, she'll go to bed on her own."

Yang Bai's fingers were chattering: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if she walks in and sees us..."

"What did you stumble upon? It'll be over soon."

Su Wanqiu had already reached the bedroom door when she saw Yang Bai still dawdling there. She grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.

Zhang Ning pushed against his back from behind.

Yang Bai was pushed onto the bed and seemed a little reserved.

After all, this is the first time we've gone this far.

He closed his eyes and said, "Come on."

Su Wanqiu was somewhat surprised. Did Yang Bai know that she and Ningning were going to give each other gifts?

However, closing your eyes is just right.

"Ningning, go and cover Yang Bai's eyes."

Zhang Ning walked to Yang Bai's side and covered his eyes.

Yang Bai could no longer see anything; all he could hear was the rustling sound of something being rummaged through.

Is it being changed? He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

However, the sound only lasted for a short while, and Yang Bai asked.

"Are you all done?"

"Um."

Su Wanqiu responded.

Zhang Ning released his grip, and as the light shone through his eyes and his vision gradually cleared, he saw three gift boxes in front of him. Inside the middle box was a suit, next to it were a pair of leather shoes and the tie from last time.

Yang Bai looked at the gift and asked, "This, is this a surprise for me?"

The two women nodded.

Yang Bai covered his face as he recalled the lewd scenes that had just flashed through his mind. "What a beast! The two women clearly had no intention of doing this, yet they could conjure up all sorts of scenarios in their minds."

His gaze returned to his suit.

"Did Wanqiu make this suit for me?"

Su Wanqiu nodded. "I made this dress myself, stitch by stitch. I heard I was going to meet a high-ranking leader soon, so I rushed to finish it."

"Wouldn't I look more impressive than a commissioner if I wore this suit?"

Yang Bai laughed.

This suit was made of high-end fabric, and with Su Wanqiu's design, it looks extremely distinguished.

"However, I will definitely wear this to meet the big boss. I want to showcase Wanqiu's craftsmanship in the newspaper and show it to the leader."

"Won't people from all over the region line up to have their clothes sewn by you then?"

Su Wanqiu smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
