292: Diaoyu Islands

The group of eight arrived at the entrance of the """Gathering of All Rivers and Seas"" Seafood Restaurant".

"Hahaha, Zhang Jun, Mr. Liu, Mr. Lu, and the rest of you brothers, thank you for gracing us with your presence. Please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner!"

"Oh my! And Brother Yang and Sister Bai Xue, we haven't seen each other in ages. Come, come, come inside and sit down, and this beautiful lady too."

Yu Dafu must have received information from Zhang Jun and the others, and had been waiting here for a long time.

"Old Yu, Yang Qi bought out the fish pond owner today. Have the chef prepare a stewed goose, ask the two ladies what dishes they like, and you arrange the rest."

After Zhang Jun finished speaking to Yu Dafu, Lu Hua placed the goose he was carrying onto the floor.

"Bai Xue, after you finish ordering, come to the (Sea Moon) private room."

"Okay, Brother Jun, you go ahead and drink tea, we'll be there shortly."

Bai Xue had come here several times with Yang Qi and knew Zhang Jun's personality, so she spoke up.

The group familiar with the place pushed open the "Sea Moon" private room. Before the dishes arrived, they sat around the tea table, drinking tea and discussing the process of buying out the owner today, all exclaiming how satisfying it was.

In fact, for them, it didn't matter how much money they spent, as long as it boosted their reputation.

After Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan ordered a few dishes, they headed upstairs.

"Bai Xue, these friends of Yang Qi seem to be quite influential, right?"

"That's true. Zhang Jun is the crown prince of the Shenglong Group, and Liu Yao's family owns several 4S car dealerships. All the cars in my family were bought from his family."

"Lu Hua's family owns several chain supermarkets in the The City. As for the others..."

"Oh, that's right. Your Yang Qi is now considered a wealthy person, so entering this circle is normal."

"Shanshan, you might be mistaken. They became friends before Yang Qi even started earning money."

"Especially Zhang Jun, Brother Jun, he helped Yang Qi tremendously. They..."

Bai Xue briefly recounted the things she knew, choosing only what she could disclose.

As the two of them entered, they happened to hear Zhang Jun and the others discussing something about Diaoyu Islands.

"Then it's settled. Let's rent a fishing boat and go to Diaoyu Islands together to see what our inherent territory looks like!"

Zhang Jun grew more excited as he spoke.

"Brother Jun is right. Diaoyu Islands has been ours since ancient times, yet these japanese shamelessly claim that Diaoyu Islands belongs to them."

Liu Yao was also shouting excitedly.

Yang Qi laughed upon hearing this:

"Hahaha, then it's decided. We'll go together the day after tomorrow. Diaoyu Islands, that's a paradise for Anglers!"

"I've long heard that the fishery resources there are extremely abundant, with many islands named after fish. Islands like Large Yellow Croaker Island, small yellow croaker Island, Pomfret Island, and so on —just thinking about it makes me yearn to go!"

Bai Xue also chimed in:

"That's certainly true. The Large Yellow Croaker and Beltfish there are especially famous. Fresh Beltfish sashimi is incredibly delicious."

Her words immediately resonated with everyone. Soon, the topic shifted back to how to eat seafood.

The atmosphere became extremely lively for a while.

"Brother Jun, why don't a few of us pool our money and buy a fishing boat so we can go out whenever we have time?"

Liu Yao was still very keen on playing, but his suggestion was immediately rejected by everyone.

Wouldn't it be better to rent a boat or join a charter when they have time to go? They shouldn't waste money like that, even if they are rich.

"If we rent a boat, who will drive it?"

Liu Yao suddenly remembered a problem.

That's right! Yang Qi could originally drive, but if he went, he would definitely bring Bai Xue along, and having a woman along would be very inconvenient.

"Hasn't Brother Jun's driver's license come through yet?"

Yang Qi asked.

"Uh... not yet. I failed the test, so I have to retake it next month."

Zhang Jun said sheepishly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Then why are you guys discussing this so enthusiastically here?"

Yang Qi looked speechlessly at these unreliable guys.

"Well, why don't we ask A-Long to come to Diaoyu Islands with us and let him drive the boat?"

Liu Yao suggested.

"It's fine to ask him to come along, but it's not realistic to have him drive the boat alone. I'll call him first and ask."

Zhang Jun took out his phone and called Zhang Fei, asking him to come over and eat the goose.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Fei arrived at "Sea Moon."

"You guys! You bought out the owner and didn't even invite me? If I had gone, I definitely could have brought back a few more geese. You know my skill."

Zhang Fei said brazenly while gnawing on the goose meat.

"It's precisely because we know your skill that we didn't invite you, lest we waste 1600 yuan for nothing."

Zhang Jun showed him no mercy.

"Second Brother, what are you saying? My skill is not something I boast about..."

"Stop! We didn't call you here to talk about that. If you want to buy out the owner and eat goose, it's simple. That owner still has plenty of geese; we'll take you next time."

"We called you because we plan to go fishing at Diaoyu Islands and want to rent a boat. We need your advice."

Zhang Jun quickly interrupted Zhang Fei's bragging.

"Diaoyu Islands! Is that the Diaoyu Islands where 'if you want to fish, you must go to the island, or you won't catch anything'?"

"The one that the japanese have been constantly spying on?"

"I'm telling you guys, this is too much! Why didn't you inform me immediately about this? If you didn't need someone to drive the boat, I bet you wouldn't have even thought of me, right?"

Zhang Fei began to incessantly complain that they were dishonest.

"That's not true. Don't we still need your help to rent a boat?"

Zhang Jun teased him intentionally.

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at his Second Brother and said to Yang Qi:

"Then is Yang Qi's boat going? If we rent a bigger boat, both he and I can drive it."

"But it looks like he will definitely bring Bai Xue along and drive their own boat."

"How many of us are going, and for how many days? I'll figure out what kind of boat to take."

"No one else. Including you, there are six of us, tentatively set for seven days and seven nights."

Zhang Jun explained.

"That's simple then. I have a fishing boat that's quite suitable. It'll be sixty thousand yuan per person. Leave everything else to me; I'll find a captain. It can't be just me driving the boat while you guys fish!"

Zhang Fei said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, right, who among you can cook?"

The rich second-generation heirs looked at each other. No one answered the question.

"Then I'll hire someone who can cook. You each add two thousand yuan."

Yao Shanshan's eyelids twitched. She almost said:

"I can cook."

Liu Yao suddenly interrupted and asked:

"Brother Fei, can you find someone who cooks delicious food? Don't let them make it taste like pig feed."

"That's easy. Let General Manager Yu's head chef go with us. He cooks well."

Zhang Fei picked up a piece of goose neck and started gnawing on it.

"Just kidding, I was just joking! Brother Fei, just make the arrangements!"

"Alright, then this matter is settled. I'll have them prepare the supplies tomorrow. We'll depart for Diaoyu Islands from my place the morning after tomorrow."
