He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Bayi rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the old gatekeeper.

In his mind, He Zhenzhen's pretty face, charming and cute yet a little silly, flashed by.

Suddenly, I didn't want to buy the boat anymore; I wanted to go back to her as soon as possible.

Having not returned home for a night, and with no telephone in the fishing village to contact her, the girl must have been extremely anxious and unsure of what to do.

The old gatekeeper was still muttering to himself.

"But young man, even if you have more than ten thousand yuan in your pocket, enough to buy a fishing boat, you're still not good enough for our factory director's daughter. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat."

Niu Bayi: "..."

No, do you want to hear what you're rambling about?

It started with you saying that I'm having a lucky streak in love.

Now they're saying I'm like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

I wouldn't even look at the factory manager's daughter.

Before long, Niu Bayi's eyes lit up.

On the cement road in the shipyard, a pretty young woman, about 1.65 meters tall and around 22 or 23 years old, walked unsteadily towards him.

She is indeed quite good-looking.

Her long hair was permed into small waves and draped over her shoulders, framing her delicate oval face and bright, sparkling eyes, making her quite captivating.

She was dressed quite fashionably, wearing a white silk shirt with a light blue silk scarf tied around her neck.

She wore a dark gray suit skirt on her lower body, with the hem just above her knees, revealing a pair of calves as white as white radishes.

She was wearing a pair of black pointed high heels.

The high, slender heels clicked loudly on the concrete, making her figure appear alluring and graceful.

In 1984, which girl would dare to dress like that?

She's probably the factory manager's daughter.

Niu Bayi had barely glanced at him when the old gatekeeper nudged him lightly with his elbow.

"Young man, am I right? You're staring so intently, your eyes are practically glued to her. I know how men are!"

He even put on an air of knowing what he'd been through.

Song Chunli walked up to Niu Bayi, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

He couldn't help but sniffle.

This perfume smells wonderful!

If you can find it anywhere, I'll buy two bottles and take them back for He Zhenzhen to spray on.

At that time, he will definitely smell it from morning till night, from head to toe.

The factory director's daughter, Song Chunli, immediately noticed Niu Bayi sniffing and took two steps back in disgust.

She glanced at Niu Bayi a few times, and he immediately recognized the old gatekeeper's previous appearance, only more profound.

Needless to say, he must be a spoiled child.

She asked casually, "So you want to buy a boat? Our shipyard doesn't make small boats; we only sell medium to large motorboats. The cheapest one costs seven or eight thousand yuan."

Niu Bayi immediately picked up the handbag from the windowsill and opened it.

He said proudly, "I have nearly 20,000 yuan, which should be more than enough to buy your largest fishing boat."

Song Chunli glanced into her handbag, her expression indifferent.

Unlike the old gatekeeper, he didn't suddenly become quite excited.

She's worldly-wise; a sum of over ten thousand yuan won't make a fuss about her.

Niu Bayi's actions even amused her, so she blurted out a remark without any hesitation.

"You bumpkin! You nouveau riche! Is this the first time you've had so much money?"

The factory manager's daughter saw right through it.

You have a sharp eye; no wonder you're in sales.

Although it was somewhat derogatory, Niu Bayi didn't take it to heart and just nodded.

"That's right. I was lucky and got some good seafood, which sold for over ten thousand yuan. So I need to buy a better fishing boat. Could you please recommend one?"

He seemed quite happy as he spoke.

Even in my previous life, when I earned this much money in one go, I had never done it before.

In 1984, that was almost 20,000 yuan!

That's an absolute fortune.

In this day and age, being able to become a millionaire is something that everyone admires.

The factory manager's daughter shook her head disdainfully and said indifferently.

"Have you thought it through? Is it worth spending so much money on a fishing boat? A person's luck only comes once or twice in their lifetime. In other words, you might only earn this much money once in your entire life."

"Why not save it and spend it slowly?"

This arrogant attitude displeased Niu Bayi, who retorted.

"Don't worry, I'll buy a fishing boat and go out to sea to fish. I'm sure I'll make a lot more money, hundreds of thousands or even millions!"

Song Chunli chuckled and turned to leave.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the fishing boats, but I advise you, it's only a little over ten thousand yuan, don't pretend in front of me. I've seen quite a few people with hundreds of thousands or even millions in assets."

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to act like a rich guy in front of me!"

Niu Bayi felt depressed.

No, when did I ever act like a rich guy in front of you?

But he was too lazy to say anything and followed Song Chunli into the shipyard.

A gust of wind blew from the front, carrying the scent of Song Chunli's perfume into Niu Bayi's nose.

Niu Bayi smells really nice.

He then asked, "Your perfume smells wonderful, what's it called? I'd like to buy one too."

Song Chunli immediately stopped in her tracks, turned her head and glared at him fiercely.

"rogue!"

Niu Bayi looked completely innocent.

"I just wanted to ask you what the name of this perfume is. I want to buy it too. Why are you calling me a pervert?"

Song Chunli said coldly, "Don't think I can't see through your intentions. You're flirting with me! Kid, don't you know what it means to be a toad trying to eat swan meat? Don't think you can get away with anything just because you have a little over ten thousand yuan on you!"

"With your money, you could probably only find a village girl in a fishing village. If you want to date me, even a hundred times more money wouldn't be enough."

"Don't you even know who you are, and who I am!"

"You're lucky I was able to get you in to buy a fishing boat, don't overthink it!"

As he spoke, he quickly took a few steps, scolding her without turning his head.

"Keep ten meters away from me, so I don't have to smell your fishy odor, it's disgusting!"

Niu Bayi really wanted to turn around and leave.

But then I thought, within a radius of three or four hundred kilometers, this is the only place where I can buy a fishing boat.

He could only follow from a distance.

Looking at Song Chunli's pert little buttocks swaying back and forth in front of him, he wanted to kick her and send her flying.

The shipyard was indeed very large. After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at the dock.

The pier is located by the sea, and it's not an ordinary pier.

It has a professional name: outfitting dock.

The so-called outfitting is the place where various ship equipment is installed after the ship is built in the dock.

It connects to the sea and is quite vast.

Looking around, there must be forty or fifty new fishing boats and cargo ships of all sizes lined up there.

It looks quite spectacular.

Standing on the dock.

Without turning her head, Song Chunli said, "Tell me first which kind of fishing boat you like, and then I'll introduce it to you."

As she spoke, Niu Bayi had already spotted a fishing boat and felt that it was the perfect size for him to go out to sea to fish.

This is a steel-framed wooden-hulled boat, with a steel interior and a wooden exterior.

It is sturdier than a pure wooden boat and lighter than a pure steel boat.

This iron-framed wooden-hulled boat, according to Niu Bayi's estimation, should be about twelve meters long, making it perfect for mooring at the fishing village's pier.

If it gets any bigger, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop.

The fishing boat belonging to my future father-in-law that was wrecked was also a steel-framed wooden boat, but it was only seven or eight meters long, much smaller than that.

I bought it for over seven thousand yuan at the time.

Niu Bayi pointed at it.

"That one!"
