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

Yang Bai stepped off the boat, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xinmin on board.

"Jiang Xinmin, do you know what kind of animal makes noises in broad daylight?"

Jiang Xinmin looked completely bewildered. What kind of nonsense question had he asked after getting off the boat? He replied in a deep voice, "I don't know."

Yang Bai curled his lips into a slight smile, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "It's a dog."

"Who the hell do you think you are? You only know how to catch small fry and you dare to curse me."

Jiang Xinmin was furious. How dare that guy insult him indirectly after getting off the ship!

Yang Bai shook his head.

"I didn't get anything, but that doesn't stop me from calling you a dog."

"grass!"

Jiang Xinmin grabbed a large wooden stick from the boat and angrily ran off to fight him, but was stopped by the crew members on the boat.

"Boss, don't be impulsive. County Chief Dai is coming down to inspect soon. If we start beating people, it might be too easy for this kid."

Jiang Xinmin then belatedly realized that Yang Bai hadn't caught a single fish.

On the other hand, I have successfully completed the task assigned by the organization.

He secretly calculated that if he offended this deputy county head, no matter how well he completed his task, he would be restricted in his future actions.

His face flushed red, filled with anger and frustration. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You, you just wait!"

Yang Bai didn't take him seriously at all, not even bothering to glance at him out of the corner of his eye, and turned to look at Hou Sanli beside him.

"Manager Hou, I've caught a few nets of fish. Please bring some people over to count and accept them."

Hou Sanli quickly stepped forward, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked with a solemn expression.

"Yang Bai, now is not the time to be busy collecting fish. To be honest, how much of that list the county magistrate gave us has you actually completed?"

Yang Bai remained calm and replied indifferently, "I haven't accomplished much."

Hou Sanli's heart sank. How could Yang Bai still be so carefree?

Jiang Xinmin has completed the list.

At this point, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't make a difference.

"You, do you even care about the deputy county head's matter? Xiao Wang, take a few men and check the fish he caught on his boat."

The people in charge of collecting the fish began to unload all four nets of fish that Yang Bai had caught yesterday and calculate the money.

This situation made Jiang Xinmin feel that victory was within his grasp.

"As expected, Yang Bai didn't catch anything. He probably sold the fish he did catch hoping to make a quick buck while he could."

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to stay at sea for more than a day and only manage to catch so many fish.

The fishermen couldn't stop laughing when they saw this.

"Ever since Yang Bai entered the Widow's Sea, I haven't seen him catch any small green lobsters or red grouper. The sea area he discovered definitely doesn't have these kinds of seafood."

"Even the eldest brother spent most of the day catching red grouper and only managed to catch a few. Yang Bai? He probably wouldn't even be able to find any scales."

"How long can Yang Bai remain smug this time?"

"Manager Hou is brainless, still sucking up to Yang Bai, it's hilarious."

......

As they were discussing, a Jeep with a Beijing license plate drove up.

Everyone shut up.

Only high-ranking officials could drive a car like that here.

The person sitting inside is probably Deputy County Head Dai.

Jiang Xinmin immediately straightened his clothes and stepped off the boat.

Yang Bai followed behind Hou Sanli, also waiting.

When the jeep stopped, Dai Yongchun got out.

He approached Hou Sanli and asked, "Have both fleets prepared everything on the manifests?"

Hou Sanli hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Bai. Seeing that Yang Bai nodded slightly in acknowledgment, he finally spoke.

"Everything is ready, County Magistrate Dai. Please take a look."

Jiang Xinmin, who was standing to the side, immediately sneered and quickly moved closer to Dai Yongchun, his tone tinged with provocation.

"County Chief Dai, Manager Hou and Yang Bai are in cahoots. Yang Bai only caught four nets of fish this time and didn't prepare any goods at all. My stuff is all high-end, so check mine out first."

After saying this, he bowed obsequiously and invited her, his posture extremely ingratiating.

Hou Sanli was immediately speechless. Jiang Xinmin, that rough and uncultured man, dared to embarrass him in front of the county magistrate.

Dai Yongchun remained calm, glancing at the two of them indifferently before keeping silent.

They followed Jiang Xinmin directly onto the fishing boat, and the rest of the group followed suit.

On the deck of Jiang Xinmin's ship, several large water tanks were neatly arranged. He walked to the first water tank first, pointing to the lively little green dragon swimming inside with a proud look on his face.

"County Chief Dai, the smallest of the small green dragons here weighs at least half a jin, and the larger ones weigh over a jin. Please take a look at their quality."

Dai Yongchun's expression remained indifferent. This quality was nothing more than ordinary goods commonly found on the market. It would only be barely acceptable to serve to higher-ups.

He examined the other tanks one after another. The abalone were at most five-headed abalone, the crab roe was not plump, and the other seafood was mediocre and unremarkable.

Dai Yongchun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The seafood looked like it had been hastily put together and was just a perfunctory effort.

He asked in a deep voice, "Where's the red-spotted fish?"

For now, we can only hope that the red-spotted fish will bring some surprises.

Red-spotted fish are extremely difficult to catch, but their flesh is incredibly delicious. If they can be of first-class quality, all these shortcomings can be made up for.

At this moment, a henchman rushed over, looking somewhat flustered, and whispered something in Jiang Xinmin's ear.

Jiang Xinmin's heart tightened, and his expression became very solemn.

"Are you serious!"

The younger brother nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Xinmin was stunned for a long time, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. When he came to his senses, he wiped his forehead and laughed.

"County Chief Dai, don't worry, the red spots... the red spots are on another small boat in our fleet, and we haven't had time to transport them over yet."

"Look, Yang Bai has also prepared some goods. Why don't you go and take a look at what's on his ship?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Yang Bai beside him, his fingertips clenching slightly.

Yang Bai watched him frantically trying to smooth things over, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Jiang Xinmin's red spots indicate that he is dead.

The underling who rushed over to talk to Jiang Xinmin just now was probably there to deliver a message.

This rough, dark-skinned man has quite the cunning.

Knowing he couldn't produce any erythema and fearing that County Magistrate Dai would be angry, he deliberately drew attention to himself.

He wanted to lure County Magistrate Dai onto his boat so that the magistrate would see with his own eyes that he had nothing of substance to offer.

When the time comes, even if Jiang Xinmin can't produce any red spots, County Magistrate Dai won't be too harsh on him, considering that he has gathered quite a lot of seafood.

Instead, they will feel that they have done a poor job and have been perfunctory.

Yang Bai sneered inwardly. He was certainly making a clever plan, but unfortunately, he underestimated himself too much.

"County Magistrate Dai, if Captain Jiang says so, then please come aboard my boat and take a look."

Yang Bai extended the invitation directly, without the slightest fear.

Jiang Xinmin panicked a little. Why didn't Yang Bai refuse at all and let County Magistrate Dai board the ship directly?

Impossible! If he had prepared all the seafood on the menu, he wouldn't have said he caught nothing!

Even if you manage to get something, it can't possibly be as complete as his!
