150: The beautiful woman is the boss

Chen Xiangbei had a chilling sneer on his lips and only said one word.

"Get lost!"

The young men's faces turned ugly. After exchanging glances, they left a harsh threat: "Alright, alright, you've got guts. Just you wait. I'll show you later whether my Yun Mengze can make you submit."

Having spoken, the few people pushed aside the onlookers, got into their car, and left the Fishermen's Wharf.

Chen Xiangbei turned back and said to everyone, "Come on, come on, don't let this little matter delay our mealtime. Big Sister, which one were you just saying you wanted?"

The Big Sister said, "Young man, leave as soon as you're done selling. That company is very powerful and specifically bullies vendors who come here alone to sell fish."

"Sigh~ It's fine. We're in a society ruled by law now. No one can be above the law. Are they the Jade Emperor or something?"

Chen Xiangbei continued selling fish. The others weren't afraid of the Yun Mengze company coming for them, as they often encountered such situations, which only targeted vendors and not them.

Time passed quickly. The snapper and the box of miscellaneous fish were gradually running out. There was still more than half a box of Giant Grouper left unsold, mainly because the Giant Grouper was too big and heavy; a family couldn't finish one fish in a week.

Therefore, everyone specifically chose fish weighing a few pounds or a dozen pounds to buy. Although Giant Grouper is delicious, not being able to finish it is also a waste of money, isn't it?

At this moment, a van drove onto the Fishermen's Wharf. The vehicle stopped in the Fishermen's Wharf parking lot, and several people got out of the car.

Chen Xiangbei originally thought the Yun Mengze company had called people over. He was just about to reach into the fish box, wanting to use the fish box as a cover, when in reality, he wanted to retrieve a weapon from his portable space.

However, before he could even reach into the fish box, the people who got out of the car made him feel confused.

He saw several people getting out of the van. Leading them was a refined-looking beautiful woman who appeared to be around 30 years old, followed by several people wearing unified uniforms with the name of a certain hotel written on them.

At first glance, these were not people from the Yun Mengze company. Therefore, he stopped his half-extended hand and quietly waited for the few of them to walk over.

By this time, the onlookers had already bought the fish they wanted. The rest were either vendors or people who were simply curious and wanted to watch the spectacle.

The beautiful woman led a few people to Chen Xiangbei. Looking at the Giant Grouper in the fish box, she exclaimed in surprise, "Was it just caught?"

"Yes, caught this afternoon," Chen Xiangbei replied with a smile.

The beautiful woman reached into the fish box, picked up a Giant Grouper, opened its gills to look, and then put it back, saying.

"Not bad, very fresh and lively. How much is this fish?"

"The Grouper in this box is 180 per jin. How many do you want?"

The beautiful woman saw that among the opened boxes, only this one contained fish. She didn't know why he would say "in this box." So, she asked doubtfully.

"Isn't this the only box with fish in it? Do you have other fish you haven't taken out?"

"That's right, they are also Giant Grouper. It just depends on how many you want."

"If they are of this quality, I'll take as many as you have!" the beautiful woman said excitedly.

"Oh? Really? My fish are very many and very big, you know. Each one costs tens of thousands, you might not be able to afford it," Chen Xiangbei raised an eyebrow.

"That's alright. I'll buy as many as you can bring out. I'm the purchasing manager for the Haiyun Hotel's catering department. You should know the Haiyun Hotel, right?"

The Haiyun Hotel is a five-star hotel in Linhai City that has been open for over 30 years. However, what they are most famous for is not the five-star hotel itself, but the Haiyun Restaurant within the hotel.

Haiyun Restaurant is one of the Four Great Restaurants, as famous as Tianhai Tower. Many people go to Haiyun Hotel just to taste their delicious food.

"You said it! If I bring all the fish out, you have to buy all of them!"

"As long as the quality is fine, I'll take them all!"

Having received a positive reply, Chen Xiangbei returned to the boat and lifted down the huge fish box that was on the deck. Inside was the giant Giant Grouper weighing over two hundred jin.

As for the other one, weighing nearly a hundred jin, he had already moved it down and was using it as a stool. It was just that with the lid on, no one noticed its presence.

Carrying the box, he walked down the boat step by step. With each step, the boat tilted a little until his feet stepped onto the Fishermen's Wharf, when the boat body suddenly rebounded, splashing up a wave.

The onlookers thought Chen Xiangbei was carrying a box full of Grouper, unaware that it was a single giant creature!

Chen Xiangbei came to the stall and placed the fish box steadily on the ground. He didn't open it immediately but first opened another box.

Opening the box, when the large Grouper weighing nearly a hundred jin was presented before everyone, it instantly caused a stir of discussion.

"Wow, look at this Giant Grouper, it's so big! It must be 100 jin!"

"It's truly rare to see! I've never seen a fish this big before."

"A fish this big must have incredibly fresh and delicious meat."

"I wonder how many years it took to grow this big."

"If only we could taste this Giant Grouper, that would be truly amazing."

...

Even the beautiful woman, looking at this big guy, had a face full of surprises. She said to Chen Xiangbei.

"How many jin is this Grouper? It's too big!"

"About 100 jin, I haven't weighed it myself. My scale can't weigh something this heavy."

"That's simple, I have a large scale, please wait a moment," the beautiful woman said with a smile, then turned to the staff behind her and said.

"Xiao Lin, go back to the car and get our scale. Hurry up and come back."

The staff member called Xiao Lin quickly walked out of the crowd and ran towards the van.

Before long, he came back carrying a scale with a weight.

The beautiful woman said, "Use my scale, I guarantee it's accurate and not short-weighing."

"I can trust Haiyun Restaurant, please proceed!" Chen Xiangbei replied with a smile.

The staff member adjusted the scale, and then the two of them together lifted the large Grouper onto the scale. During this time, the Grouper's struggle almost made it fall to the ground. Chen Xiangbei helped out, and it was finally placed steadily on the scale.

"Manager, this fish is a total of 97.5 jin, almost a hundred!" the staff member watching the scale said excitedly.

The beautiful woman was also very happy upon hearing this. She turned back to Chen Xiangbei and said, "How about we calculate it at 200 per jin, count it as 100 jin, and you sell it to me for a total of twenty thousand?"

"Sold!"

This price had already exceeded Chen Xiangbei's psychological price, and he readily agreed without even thinking about it.

"What about these? These smaller ones are only 180 per jin, you should take them all together!"

"Alright, Xiao Lin, drain the water completely and put them on the scale again."

The staff member poured out the water from the more than half-full box of Grouper and then lifted it onto the scale.

"Manager, there are a total of 170 jin here."
