310: Returning from Diaoyu Islands

Before Yang Qi docked, he immediately called Zhang Long. Just as he entered the City Wharf, he saw Zhang Long waiting on the shore with several Maritime Safety Administration police officers.

"Brother Long, you're here!"

"Hello, Brother Long!"

Yang Qi and Bai Xue greeted Zhang Long.

"Yang Qi, Bai Xue, you've worked hard. Come on, let's handle the official business first."

Zhang Long smiled as he greeted them, then pointed to the camera held by one of the maritime police officers, and signaled for a few colleagues to board the boat.

Yang Qi and Bai Xue nodded, indicating they understood.

"Officer Zhang, this is the bionic fish."

The group went onto the deck, and Yang Qi pointed to the bionic fish in front of Yao Shanshan and said.

"Oh, Officer Zhang, this is my friend Yao Shanshan. We went out to sea together."

Seeing Zhang Long glance at Yao Shanshan a few times, Bai Xue quickly introduced her.

"Oh, hello, Comrade Yao Shanshan."

"Hello, Officer."

Zhang Long reached out and shook hands with Yao Shanshan.

"Comrade Yang Qi, besides the three of you on the boat, no one else has seen this thing, right?"

Zhang Long turned around and asked Yang Qi.

"No one has seen it. Only Zhang Jun, Brother Jun, knows that I caught the espionage fish here, but he hasn't seen it."

Yang Qi explained.

"The three of you should sign this non-disclosure agreement first. This is a discipline that must be strictly observed."

As Zhang Long said this, he glanced at Yao Shanshan. In fact, these words were primarily directed at her. Yang Qi and Bai Xue had already gone through this once and should understand.

"I understand!"

"Officer, I understand."

The three nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the two officers who had been inspecting the bionic fish stood up and nodded toward Zhang Long, their eyes showing unconcealed surprise.

Zhang Long waved his hand. Several people took out a black bag, put the bionic fish inside, and carried it ashore.

"It looks like this thing is even more advanced than the last one, Yang Qi! The three of you have made a great contribution."

After the camera crew recording the enforcement process went ashore, the group spoke much more casually.

"Brother Long, will the bonus be higher too?"

Yang Qi joked with Zhang Long.

"It should be a bit higher. The exact amount depends on the value of this item."

"Brother Long, take some seafood back with you!"

"I'm on duty! I won't take any. It wouldn't look good. Call A-Jun tomorrow night, and we'll go to your place for a drink."

Zhang Long stopped Yang Qi, who was preparing to scoop up some seafood.

"Sure, I still have some Mud Eel wine that I brewed a while ago. It's ready to drink now. I'll sweep the house clean to welcome you then."

Yang Qi suddenly remembered that his Mud Eel wine was ready to be consumed.

"Good, if you mention that, I won't be polite. I'll bring a few friends."

Zhang Long's eyes lit up instantly when he heard about the Mud Eel wine.

"No problem, everyone is welcome, no matter how many come."

"Everyone says you're great at fishing, but I've never seen it. This time, I'll take a look at your haul."

Zhang Long asked to see Yang Qi's catch. Yang Qi had no objection and first led Zhang Long to look at the freezing compartment.

"Such a huge haul, the hold is full! So much Tuna! Amazing, amazing!"

Zhang Long gave a thumbs-up in admiration.

After seeing the densely packed fish haul in the live fish hold, Zhang Long couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"I've long heard you're great at fishing, and today was truly an eye-opener. It makes me want to go fishing with you too."

"Haha, Brother Long, you're joking."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Zhang Long said goodbye and left.

Then Yang Qi immediately drove the fishing boat back to Qingshan Town, arriving at the Training Center Wharf, where he found the vast sea still unloading its cargo.

Since there were six people on the boat, they had to sort and distribute the catch after landing. Plus, none of them were short on money, and those who caught rare fish species for the first time kept them for themselves or to give as gifts, which slowed things down considerably.

After the three of them went ashore, they heard several people bragging to their friends.

They were everywhere, gesticulating wildly and spitting enthusiastically.

"I'm telling you..."

"Let me tell you..."

Near Zhang Jun, Yang Qi spotted Yu Dafu, who was receiving a baptism of Zhang Jun's spit.

"You've been talking forever, but you still won't sell me those Large Yellow Croakers."

Yu Dafu said with a look of resentment.

"Large Yellow Croaker? I definitely won't sell them. One for me, one for my dad, one for my second uncle's family—that's not even enough to go around!"

Zhang Jun said righteously.

"I can consider selling the other fish, and you'll have priority."

"Fine! You win!"

"Oh! Yang Qi is here!"

At this moment, Yu Dafu saw Yang Qi and the other two and hurried over to greet them.

"General Manager Yu, you came over!"

"Yang Qi, you must allocate some high-quality goods for me this time!"

Yu Dafu said to Yang Qi with a hopeful expression.

"General Manager Yu, don't worry. What I promised you won't change."

Yang Qi nodded and replied to him.

At this moment, Chen Tianming also spotted Yang Qi and immediately walked over.

"Yang Qi, you're here!"

"A'Ming, come on, let me tell you something."

So the three of them went back to the setting sail. Yang Qi told Chen Tianming that Yu Dafu would take a portion of the high-quality goods in the future, but definitely not all the best ones.

He also explained that Yu Dafu would purchase them at market price, which would not conflict with Chen Tianming's acquisition price.

Since the matter had been explained so thoroughly, Chen Tianming could only agree. After all, Yang Qi was sacrificing his own interests.

Fortunately, Yu Dafu only had one seafood restaurant and wouldn't need too much seafood.

Finally, Chen Tianming and Yu Dafu reached a consensus: Yu Dafu would take no more than 1/3 of the high-quality goods, and Chen Tianming would take the medium and low-end ones.

Yang Qi told the two of them that he had a table of guests tomorrow night and needed to select a batch of seafood first.

When they opened two boxes of Wild Large Yellow Croaker, the two men were stunned. The six people on the vast sea only caught five in total, but Yang Qi seemed to have more than twenty.

Moreover, the largest Wild Large Yellow Croaker seemed to weigh fifteen or sixteen catties.

"Yang Qi, how many Wild Large Yellow Croakers did you catch here?"

Yu Dafu asked curiously.

"Twenty-three. We ate two while at sea. Twenty-one remain."

Hearing this, Yu Dafu's eyelids twitched.

"How greedy must this person be! They just ate two Wild Large Yellow Croakers without a second thought."

Yang Qi took a foam box, put in some crushed ice, a Wild Large Yellow Croaker weighing about six catties, a Red Seabream weighing about twelve catties, and some Spotted Spanish Mackerel, then sprinkled another layer of crushed ice and sealed it up again.

"I'm keeping one Bigeye Tuna weighing over a hundred catties. I need three Sesame Groupers. The Nine-Segment Shrimp and Mantis Shrimp are not for sale. I'll keep a portion of the Crabs and Lobsters to entertain guests tomorrow night."

"Oh, and I also need to keep six hundred catties of Sea Bass; my neighbor ordered them."

Yang Qi called Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan over and instructed them face-to-face.

Just then, bursts of cheers came from the wharf. It turned out that Zhang Jun's Giant Grouper had been brought ashore.

Yang Qi turned his head and saw Zhang Jun grinning broadly, accepting the admiration of the crowd.
