63: House viewing

“You still have to decide that yourself, based on your own needs. There’s no rush now, take your time to think!”

Actually, Yang Qi and Bai Xue had always been conflicted.

Should they butter up Mother Dahai, show off their talents, and beg for her reward? Or should they just use a net, and directly rob her?

Of course, the best option was to show off their talents and rob her at the same time.

Yang Qi, of course, understood that Bai Dahai wanted him to buy a fishing boat. After the fishing season started, if he encountered a school of fish, he could trawl, increasing his income.

“Forget it! I won’t think about it for now, I’ll wait a while. I haven’t even gotten my driver’s license yet? Even if I bought a big boat, I wouldn’t be able to drive it.”

Yang Qi thought to himself.

So he spoke, “Uncle Bai is right, slowly, I’m still taking my driver’s license test!”

The group chatted and ate, and the atmosphere was very warm!

“A laugh in the vast ocean! The surging tides on both banks…”

Yang Qi’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Jun calling.

“Hello, Brother Jun,”

“Hey~! Yang Qi! Where are you now? You haven’t gone out to sea, have you?” Zhang Jun asked.

“I haven’t gone out to sea, I just came back at noon!”

“Then come to Qingshan Town later. I’ll be waiting for you here at Ah Ming’s place, I have something to tell you!”

Zhang Jun said.

“Something to tell me! Okay! Brother Jun, I’ll come over to find you right away.”

After Yang Qi hung up the phone, he briefly explained to everyone that Zhang Jun was looking for him. He quickly finished the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls.

He went into the yard and quickly drove the tricycle back home.

“Drive slowly on the road, be careful.” Bai Xue’s reminder came from behind him.

“Alright! I got it.”

He unloaded all the fishing gear at home, then rode his bike towards the town.

Yang Qi rushed to Tianming Seafood Store without stopping.

He pushed the door open and found several employees serving customers buying seafood. He didn’t see Chen Tianming and Zhang Jun, and when he asked, he found out they were in the office.

Knocking on the office door, Yang Qi pushed it open. He found the two of them sitting at a table with several takeout boxes on it.

“Come, come, come! Yang Qi, we’ve been waiting for you!” Chen Tianming immediately greeted Yang Qi when he saw him enter.

“Hurry, hurry, I’m starving!” Zhang Jun complained.

Yang Qi rolled his eyes at Zhang Jun and said,

“No, Brother Jun, I got your call and didn’t stop for a moment! I was afraid of delaying your business.”

“Besides, if you guys are hungry, just eat! I’ve already eaten.”

“What business could I have?”

Zhang Jun handed Yang Qi a pair of chopsticks while opening the takeout boxes.

“Hehehe! I thought Brother Jun was beaten up, so your humble subordinate rushed here to save you!”

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing that!

“We won’t drink at noon, let’s wait until the evening. You definitely have to toast me a few times tonight!” Zhang Jun said.

Yang Qi also sat down and ate with the two of them. He had been in such a hurry earlier that he hadn’t really eaten enough.

Without drinking, the few of them finished eating quickly. Chen Tianming brewed a cup of tea for the two of them and then went out to attend to customers.

“I called you over because I really do have something to tell you. But it’s about you!”

Zhang Jun took a sip of tea and looked at Yang Qi, saying.

“Ah! Brother Jun, about me, what about me!”

Yang Qi was a bit puzzled. He went out to sea every day, he hadn’t caused any trouble! His heart couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Zhang Jun looked at Yang Qi’s expression, finding it a bit amusing.

So he explained,

“You misunderstood, don’t worry! It’s good news! You used to say that you wanted to develop here in the future and become a professional fisherman. I want to ask you about your current and future plans.”

“Good news! That’s good! But what kind of good news could fall on my head!”

Yang Qi thought about how he had never won more than 10 yuan on a lottery ticket. When he drew a prize, it was always “Thank you for your patronage.”

“Current and future plans? Of course, to continue being a fisherman! I feel like I belong to the sea.”

“Currently, I’m planning to buy a boat, but I’m still considering whether it should be a fishing boat or a fishing yacht.”

Yang Qi honestly explained his current situation.

Zhang Jun nodded after hearing Yang Qi’s words.

“Buying a boat is the right thing to do. Nearshore resources are getting worse and worse. At the very least, you need to go to the far sea, and eventually to the deep ocean.”

“Become a Sea King. And then take me, your brother, to roam the sea as well. Hahaha!”

After Zhang Jun finished laughing, Yang Qi asked,

“Brother Jun, do you think it’s better for me to buy a fishing yacht or a fishing boat!”

“I can’t say for sure, it depends on your future plans. It’s best if you can buy a boat that serves both purposes. Take your time!” Zhang Jun replied.

“But have you ever thought that since you’ll be developing here in the future, always renting someone else’s house doesn’t seem like a long-term solution! Have you ever thought about buying a house?”

Seeing Yang Qi nod, looking a bit hesitant to speak, he continued,

“It’s like this, I called you over today specifically about a house.”

“A real estate company owes my family’s group company a lot of money for goods, and they’re preparing to use real estate to settle the debt. The price is discounted, and I’ve reserved a good one for you.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi felt a surge of heat rush to the top of his head. His face instantly felt hot.

“A house!” “Discounted price!”

Only these few words were colliding in Yang Qi’s mind.

“Brother Jun! That’s great, where’s the house? Can you take me to see it?”

“Looking at the house is not a problem, but my teacup seems to be empty!”

Zhang Jun teased.

Yang Qi immediately rushed forward like a sycophant. He bowed and poured tea for Zhang Jun. He held up the teacup with both hands and respectfully presented it to Zhang Jun.

He said, “Godfather! Please drink tea, please drink this cup to the full!”

Zhang Jun laughed heartily at the playful Yang Qi. He took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the house. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll look at another one.”

Zhang Jun instantly transformed into a “sales manager,” driving Yang Qi to a house.

He took out the keys to the courtyard gate, and after opening it, the two entered the yard.

What appeared before Yang Qi’s eyes was a three-story, semi-ancient, semi-modern style small building.

The footprint was about 100 square meters. But the yard was very large, planted with some trees he couldn’t name. There was also a small gazebo for drinking tea on the side.

As “Sales Manager” Zhang Jun opened the house door, what came into view was a large living room.

The living room had a large sofa set, a coffee table, and a TV cabinet, all fully furnished.

“No TV! Bad review!”

Yang Qi muttered to himself.

Connected to it was a dining room with a large round table. Following that was an open-plan kitchen. Even the kitchen utensils inside were complete.

On the first floor, there was also an elder’s room, a bathroom, and a storage room.

Going up to the second floor, there were a total of four rooms, all with private bathrooms. The master bedroom also had a small balcony.

Standing on the balcony, one could even see the sea in the distance.

“Definitely a sea-view room!” Yang Qi thought to himself.

Each room was furnished with brand new, unopened bed sheets, duvet covers, and other bedding. Even the curtains were installed.

The layout of the third floor was basically identical.

“Brother Jun, why are all the things inside the house complete? And they all look new!”

Yang Qi asked, a bit puzzled.
