47: Registration Certificate

Yang Qi thought for a while, then said, "Brother Fei, I've decided to get an A1F license. I think what you said makes a lot of sense. I also want to upgrade Bai Xue's license to A1F. I'm not sure how much it will cost or how long it will take to get the license."

"Alright, don't worry about that, I'll arrange everything. Except for the national requirement that you must first obtain a seaman's certificate, and that you have to wait a month after getting the seaman's certificate before you can take the driver's license test—that's a strict requirement—for everything else, I can arrange the fastest possible test for you."

"Tomorrow, you and your girlfriend should bring your ID cards to my company to register. Bai Xue also needs to bring her A2F certificate."

"Let's add each other as friends first; you can contact me tomorrow."

After saying that, he didn't mention the cost.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a toast."

Everyone present was shrewd; they knew Zhang Fei didn't want to discuss the cost in public, so no one brought up the topic again.

Finally, everyone had eaten their fill, enjoyed themselves, and left.

Each went home to their own mother!

On the way home, Bai Xue told Yang Qi, "Brother Yang Qi, I'm going on holiday next week. After that, I can go fishing with you."

Yang Qi was also very happy. "Then I'll pick you up! Are you going to intern next semester?"

"Yes, that's right. Actually, to make it easier for us third-year students to find internship placements, there haven't been many classes recently," Bai Xue said.

Yang Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found an internship placement? Do you want me to ask Brother Jun later if you can find an internship position at his family's group?"

"Let's talk about it later! Recently, I just want to go fishing with you! Is that okay?" Bai Xue looked at Yang Qi like that, her eyes full of affection!

"Of course, you can! I'd be delighted!"

The two of them sat together in the driver's seat of the tricycle, holding hands and chatting.

Even if the tricycle was slow, how far could a 20-minute journey be? After about an hour, the two of them returned to Baijiawan.

After dropping Bai Xue off at home, Yang Qi also returned to his own small courtyard.

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, Bai Lang came to call Yang Qi to his house for breakfast. Yang Qi remembered that he was going to register for a yacht driving license today. He took his ID card, rode his bike, and took Bai Lang to his house for breakfast.

"Brother-in-law, I heard you guys caught a lot of big Tuna on this fishing trip? You're really amazing! Can you take me with you next time?"

Bai Lang, that kid, started his chatterbox mode again.

"Sure! The precondition is that as long as your parents agree, I can take you," Yang Qi said.

"Then it's probably hopeless; they won't agree," Bai Lang said dejectedly.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Bai Xue exclaim:

"Mom and Dad, Yang Qi is here, we can eat now!" Seeing Yang Qi enter, Bai Xue quickly brought a large pot of fish porridge to the dining table and called her parents to eat.

Drinking the fish porridge and eating steamed buns, Yang Qi looked utterly content.

Bai Xue already knew Yang Qi liked steamed buns and had specifically gone to the town early in the morning to buy them.

Yang Qi knew that southerners generally don't eat steamed buns and realized they were bought specially for him, feeling deeply touched.

Ordinary families don't have the custom of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

The whole family chatted while eating.

Bai Dahai asked Yang Qi, "Yang Qi, I heard from Bai Xue that you're going to get a yacht driving license?"

"Yes, Uncle, I'm going to register this morning. It's being handled by Zhang Jun's cousin, and I'm taking this opportunity to upgrade Bai Xue's license as well," Yang Qi replied.

Bai Dahai nodded, "Yang Qi, you are a person with your own opinions. Since you've made up your mind, we support you. I'd like to hear your plans."

Yang Qi spoke frankly, "Thank you, Uncle! This is what I'm thinking: once I get my license, I'll buy my own boat and go fishing offshore. After all, coastal resources are indeed scarce. And unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to go out to sea with a crew anymore."

Bai Dahai nodded in agreement, "You can consider it in the near future. You could rent a boat and try fishing in the nearshore or longlining. After all, driving a boat under 6 meters doesn't require a license."

"Once the fishing season opens, you can also set nets and ground cages to increase your income. When you've saved enough money, then buy a bigger boat and go to the far sea!"

The difference between far sea and near sea lies in their distance from land and their jurisdiction.

Near sea: Refers to sea areas close to land. In our country, areas within 200 nautical miles (approximately 370 kilometers) from the coast are defined as near sea.

Far sea: Beyond the near sea, it refers to areas more than 600 nautical miles (approximately 1100 kilometers) from the coast.

"Thank you, Uncle, I will seriously consider it!" Yang Qi could also feel that they were thinking of him.

After finishing their meal, Yang Qi took Bai Xue and drove towards Qingshan Town.

Upon arriving at Zhang Fei's company, Zhang Fei came out to greet them and led them into the office. After some pleasantries, Zhang Fei got straight to the point:

"Last night there were too many people, so I couldn't say too much! My brother also specifically told me about his relationship with you."

"How about this! Your A1F driver's license exam plus your girlfriend's A2F upgrade to A1F, both together will be 20,000. After all, there are partners involved, so it can't be too little!"

"This... Brother Fei! Will it cause you trouble?"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "It's fine, every family has one or two really close connections, and we each have a few special slots."

"Okay! Brother Fei, thank you then!"

"Hmm ~ good! I'll call someone over to process your applications." He picked up his phone to arrange for staff to come and handle the paperwork, and then handed some theoretical materials to Yang Qi.

After paying the money, there was another round of thanks! Then the two left.

"Brother Yang Qi, you have a lot of influence. A seaman's certificate in one week, and then the A1F theoretical exam arranged a month later, with practical navigation operations test after half a month of training.

Doesn't that mean we'll get the certificates in about two months!"

Bai Xue marveled at the speed of getting the certification.

"That's Brother Jun's influence; it has nothing to do with me."

"Yes! We'll have to thank Brother Jun very well in the future!"

Bai Xue quickly agreed.

"These materials need to be studied carefully to get the certificates as soon as possible. You'll have to help me a lot recently!" Yang Qi said to Bai Xue.

"Of course! I still have to go to school for two days next week, but the rest of my time is free. I can help you study every day recently, so keep up the good work, Brother Yang Qi!"

Bai Xue said happily, glad that she could help Yang Qi.

"Shall I take you to school now?"

"No need, the afternoon is fine, I don't have classes in the morning. We still have time this morning, why don't we go fishing for a bit! I'll come back tonight and help you tutor."

"Alright! I'll listen to you!"

Yang Qi went to the supermarket to restock some supplies, and the two went home together.

"It's past nine now, how about we go fish for Rockfish for two hours?" Looking at the time, Yang Qi decided to go fishing by the dock.

"Okay! I'll go home and get my fishing rod."
