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

Yang Bai laughed.

"There's a reason for this kneeling; he was trying to smear me. Do you think that makes you look good?"

Yang Jun stood up straight.

"Didn't they kneel down anyway?"

"Brother Yang, you're still going too far."

"If it were me, I would definitely pet his head and then make him bark like a dog a few times."

"Bring the brothers along too, let's have some fun."

He was overjoyed at the thought of it. Usually, he was the one kneeling before officials. If an official were to kneel before him, the villagers would have to avoid him from now on.

Yang Bai sighed, "You always think about things that aren't relevant."

"Growing up to be this big, are you bullying an old person?"

Yang Jun waved his hand.

"How can that be called bullying? That's called revenge."

As we chatted, we arrived at our destination, which was the same Changlong Reef Group as last time.

This is the place with the most blue crabs besides Widow's Sea, and fishing in the outer area is safer than in Widow's Sea.

"Set the trap to catch the blue crabs."

They fished for mud crabs until returning to port in the evening.

As the fishing boat returned to port, Hou Sanli strode to Yang Bai's side, a smile on his face: "I have good news for you."

Yang Bai looked puzzled: "What good news?"

Hou Sanli didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "Those six villages have already formally come to apologize, and the joint apology notices have been posted at the brigade headquarters of each village."

Yang Bai smiled faintly: "It is indeed a great thing. Manager Hou's move hit the nail on the head and was perfectly measured."

Within just a few days, the villages voluntarily yielded, likely because the sanction measures introduced by the aquatic products company had truly hit their weak points, making it difficult for them to continue their livelihoods, which is why they hastily gave in.

Hou Sanli sighed, his tone tinged with resentment.

"I will never compromise on this matter. Seeing them bully the weak because of their numbers makes me uncomfortable. Do they really think the seafood company is completely unaware?"

"The people below have reported that in the past few days, none of the fishing boats from the six villages dare to go out to sea; they are all docked."

"In the end, it's all thanks to you. You stood firm yesterday and refused to compromise in any way. If you had given in then, all the control measures I implemented would have been completely ineffective."

His tightening of controls on fish, supplies, and funds is intended to make the six villages personally experience the consequences of causing trouble and to make them truly recognize their own mistakes.

"Are you planning to relax the restrictions, or let them go completely?"

Hou Sanli asked.

Yang Bai thought for a moment.

"Relax, half is enough."

Hou Sanli laughed and said, "You're ruthless. I'll send someone to handle it."

When I returned to Haiba Village, my family had already prepared a hot meal for me.

Qiao Manman, holding a bowl and chopsticks, saw Yang Bai outside the door, so she quickly put them down and grabbed another bowl and chopsticks.

She's been staying at Yang Bai's house for the past few days, and it's practically become her second home here.

"Brother Yang, why are you only coming back now? I saw Yang Jun come back, and he had a woman with him."

"woman?"

Yang Bai asked curiously as he washed his hands.

If he had any women, he would definitely be the first to show them off, but there was really nothing happening today.

Qiao Manman nodded.

"Yes, it wasn't some vixen. She was just average-looking, with shoulder-length short hair. The two of them were chatting and laughing."

After learning her lesson from last time, Wang Yao completely broke off her relationship with Yang Jun.

Upon hearing Qiao Manman's description, Yang Bai immediately had someone in mind.

"Oh, this girl was probably introduced by Lao Liu. I've seen her picture; they're quite a good match."

"If Yang Jun marries her in the future, he will be very lucky. I think she is an honest and capable housekeeper."

Su Wanqiu ladled a bowl of soup for Yang Bai and sighed, "As long as she's a good girl who can manage a household, that's fine."

Yang Jun's temper isn't bad, but he hasn't experienced much, making him stubborn and easily deceived.

Living alone and having a messy home, she believes that mutual support between husband and wife is the most important thing.

Yang Bai laughed.

"Most of the people Lao Liu picks are fine."

The next day.

As soon as Yang Bai finished packing his things, six village secretaries blocked his doorway.

Chen Zhuan threw the latest notice from the seafood company at Yang Bai, his anger blazing.

"Yang Bai, what do you mean by doing it only halfway? We've already done all the modifications, are you backing out now?"

Yang Bai took the notice, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it behind him.

"What does it have to do with me? I never said that an apology would solve everything."

I've already done my best to get Manager Hou to lower the salary by half.

"You don't have to, that's fine. I'll tell Manager Hou right away that you have the guts to fight to the end."

Yang Bai said, and then inserted the key in his hand into the motorcycle.

Upon seeing this, the village secretaries immediately stopped Yang Bai's actions.

Hu Shaohua smiled. "That's not what we meant. We just wanted to ask when things will be back to normal?"

Yang Bai put away the key and pondered for a long time.

"We'll discuss whether or not to resume treatment once my last brother is discharged from the hospital and able to return to normal work."

He got on his motorcycle and sped away.

Six village party secretaries—what a prestigious position they held in the village back then!

Fishermen like Yang Bai are definitely not the ones who suffer setbacks.

They hadn't expected that Yang Bai would humiliate them so thoroughly.

Upon arriving at the port, Hou Sanli rushed over with the order form, his face flushed with urgency.

"Yang Bai, bad news, bad news."

Yang Bai paused, then helped Hou Sanli, who was panting heavily from exhaustion.

"What bad news? Let me hear it."

Hou Sanli took out the list from the Japanese side and said.

"The Japanese side needs to expedite the squid order, which needs to be delivered by October 16th."

We only have 40,000 jin now. If we work harder by the end of October, we will have plenty of time.

But now we need to wait until mid-month. Even Quanzhou is rushing things. They only have 300,000 jin, while we still need to replenish 660,000 jin.

If this order isn't completed, our region will not only fail in our first collaboration with the Japanese, but it will also be difficult to gain their trust in the future.

He placed all his hopes on Yang Bai. By the end of October, the seawater would cool down and the squid would migrate south. They would definitely be able to achieve their goal before the fishing season ended.

The Japanese side suddenly expedited the deadline to the 16th, which was a huge test for Fukumi.

He could only place all his hopes on Yang Bai.

If this deal falls through, his dream of becoming the village secretary will be shattered.

He never expected that the Japanese would suddenly launch this counterattack!

Yang Bai glanced at the list and nodded.

"This order can be completed, but..."

When Hou Sanli heard that Yang Bai could complete it, his heart skipped a beat, and he became a little anxious about the subsequent turn of events.

"But what? I will do my best to help you in any way I can."

Yang Bai shook his head slightly.

"It's really not possible to do it here. I need a 100-ton fishing boat to cooperate with my fleet to catch squid."

"We need to borrow one from the regional fisheries bureau. I haven't used the three usage rights that the commissioner promised last time."

"I need the man too; I want to collaborate with Wang An a second time."
