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

Yang Bai arrived at Hou Sanli's office.

At this moment, he was dealing with the documents that he hadn't finished in the past two days.

He looked up and saw Yang Bai coming over, then put down his pen.

"Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Bai told Hou Sanli about Chen Dahai being chosen as the deputy captain.

"The vice-captain has been selected, Chen Dahai. I'm here to report to you. When will the procedures be completed?"

Hou Sanli nodded slightly. Yang Bai was indeed powerless to manage a fleet of sixty-ton ships by himself.

"I'll give the order tomorrow afternoon, don't worry."

"Hey, Xiao Yang, did you bring any food?"

"I've had a ton of things to do since I got back, and I haven't even eaten yet!"

Yang Bai stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go to the big hotel now and wait for Manager Hou."

Hou Sanli smiled and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Yang Bai stopped and turned around, saying, "By the way, the leadership reshuffle starts in December, right? You've done a great job securing this deal, so you should be promoted if nothing unexpected happens."

In his previous life, Hou Sanli was a strong rival to the village secretary who was arrested for corruption, but he didn't make any moves. Now, Hou Sanli has made great contributions, so even if he does make a move, it will be difficult.

Hou Sanli was somewhat smug, confident of victory.

"Probably, but everything is uncertain until it's finalized. Right now, I just want to participate in the election peacefully and without any major mishaps."

Yang Bai asked.

"If you are elected, who will take your place? After all, a high-ranking Party Secretary wouldn't personally come down to inspect the work, would he?"

When the dock encounters a large catch during the usual fish purchase, the manager usually comes down to handle it.

The Party Secretary wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

Hou Sanli shook his head slightly.

"I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Yang Bai scoffed, with a hint of familiar teasing.

"Alright, you've got a whole repertoire of official jargon. Just wait until you get promoted, and don't forget your brother who stood by you through thick and thin."

Hou Sanli chuckled upon hearing this, then turned to look at Yang Bai with earnest eyes.

"How could I forget? Outsiders may not know why I've achieved this, but don't you? How could I possibly forget my roots?"

Yang Bai hasn't produced any tangible results, so his chances of getting promoted are very slim.

He even felt that as long as the Widow Sea problem wasn't solved and he didn't achieve any real results, he wouldn't be able to move up the ranks.

The old leaders and branch secretaries all worked their way up from fifty to retirement.

Widow Sea is like a curse, trapping Hai'an County.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to run into Yang Bai.

With the development of Widow Sea, fishery resources have increased significantly. Yang Bai also knows of other places with abundant aquatic products. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is saving a collapsing building.

After bringing food to Hou Sanli, Yang Bai went straight home.

"Yang Bai, you're back?"

Su Wanqiu got up and took off Yang Bai's shirt.

"It must have been very hot wearing a suit all day in this weather."

After taking off her coat, Su Wanqiu folded it up and put it in the wooden basket.

Yang Bai placed his suitcase on the table, casually unzipped it, and found it filled with a bunch of local specialties from Quanzhou.

He took out three exquisite bows from them and spoke with a smile.

"These three bows are for you, Ningning, and Qiaoqiao respectively. I bought them as gifts because I thought they looked nice."

He picked up a purple bow and looked at Su Wanqiu.

"Late Autumn, let me put it on for you myself."

"Okay." Su Wanqiu turned her head to the side.

Yang Bai raised his hand and carefully fastened the bow to the side of her hair, his movements gentle and delicate.

He then went into the bedroom, took out a small mirror, and handed it to Su Wanqiu.

Su Wanqiu gazed at herself in the mirror, her fingertips gently caressing the purple bow in her hair. Her eyes were gentle, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"It really is quite beautiful."

She put down the mirror, her gaze falling on the local specialties in her suitcase, and asked curiously, "Why did you buy so many Quanzhou specialties? Which one is the best?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bai took out a package of oil paper and replied.

"This is agar jelly, a specialty dessert of Quanzhou. It tastes very good."

After peeling off the oil paper, there was white powder inside.

Su Wanqiu looked at the powder, bent down, and took a careful sniff.

"What kind of dessert is this? It has no taste, how can I eat it?"

Yang Bai laughed.

"This needs to be boiled, then shredded and mixed with sweet melons, dried fruits, and nuts before it can be eaten. It's called Four Fruit Soup. It's refreshing and cooling in the summer, and even though it's almost winter, it still has a unique flavor. I'll cook it for you tonight."

He had eaten it in his previous life, and this time he happened to come across the supply and marketing cooperative selling it, so he asked about the recipe.

Adding ice would make it the most refreshing dessert, but unfortunately, even if you have money these days, you can't buy a refrigerator.

Refrigerators are limited in quantity and are basically not found on the streets.

Other local specialties are mostly food items.

Su Wanqiu collected them all and put them in the cabinet by the stove.

"Did you secure the order from Quanzhou?"

Yang Bai nodded.

"We got her, all thanks to your husband's fluent Japanese."

Su Wanqiu was quite surprised.

When did you learn Japanese?

"I taught myself." Yang Bai smiled, looking quite pleased with himself. "I studied books every day, and over time, I picked it up easily."

Su Wanqiu sat down next to Yang Bai and said, "Don't lie to me. How could you possibly learn Japanese just by reading books?"

Yang Bai immediately said in Japanese, "Late Autumn, I love you."

Su Wanqiu had also heard of Japanese and knew what it meant; a hint of shyness flashed across her usually aloof face.

"He speaks Japanese very fluently."

Yang Bai, I read in a book that the human brain only develops 10%, which is only a small part of its potential.

If fully developed, it would turn into a genius, with the ability to remember everything seen.

Could it be that you bumped your head somewhere three months ago and then completely developed your brain?

Otherwise, you wouldn't have changed so much in these three months, and you'd be speaking multiple languages.
