Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan not only drove the boat, but also used the walkie-talkie to notify the fishing boats not far away to follow.

This is a very rare humphead wrasse.

The Humphead wrasse is originally a warm-tropical fish species with a large body and a docile personality.

It is worth mentioning that this fish has a long lifespan and can live up to 30 years!

The fish left the vicinity of the reef and Liu Meilan's fishing net arrived there just in time.

That’s how we catch them all in one swoop.

Another boat encountered a smaller school of fish but also caught a lot of Humphead wrasse.

The joy of harvest dilutes the fatigue and sleepiness of the night.

This kind of fish is very interesting. They are all female young fish when they are born, and it takes 5 to 7 years for them to reach sexual maturity.

The male leader humphead wrasse mates with the females in his territory. The most interesting thing is that once the male fish disappears, the larger females in the group will gradually become males, fill his position and continue to maintain reproduction.

One cannot help but marvel at the wonders of nature: for the sake of reproduction, genders can be interchangeable.

This fish has a slow growth cycle, tastes good and is highly valued, so it is overfished and is gradually decreasing.

With these rich harvests, Liu Meilan felt more confident.

Then in the second half of the night, two more nets were set up to catch spotted mackerel and hairtail.

The two ships communicate frequently and constantly exchange fishing information, which also greatly guarantees safety.

Everything went smoothly and Liu Meilan felt relieved.

Tang Xiaoyu, who was on the shore, received Xiao Wu's message the next morning and immediately called the marine protection department.

At the same time, Tang Xiaoyu also copied the video content.

They sent someone over to check and handed over all the evidence.

Tang Xiaoyu proceeded legally and in compliance with regulations, and also used his connections to try his best to preserve the hawksbill turtle shell.

"Chief Wang, we have reported everything according to the rules. When can this thing be returned to us?"

Section Chief Wang knew that this hawksbill turtle shell was very large and thick, and of high quality. As the Sifang Island Seafood Company, they naturally did not want to give up this part of the profits.

They also have to say hello to their superiors and return the thing after they have finished studying it.

Otherwise, who will report these marine protected species that are worthy of research in the future?

"Manager Tang, don't worry! After testing and research, we will return the tortoise shell to you. But I want to remind you that you should keep it for collection or to make some handicrafts, and not for sale."

Tang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Chief Wang! If you need any help with any scientific research projects in the future, as long as we can help, we will do our best."

Hearing this, Section Chief Wang smiled and said, "You know what, there really is a project that needs your help!"

When Tang Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately became alert, "Of course it is within our capabilities. If it is beyond our capabilities, we can't help even if we want to."

Section Chief Wang smiled and said, "My friend told me that the yellow croakers caught by your Sifang Island Seafood Company are also very lively after arriving on the shore."

"The economic value of yellow croaker is extremely high, but due to overfishing, the number is decreasing, so the subordinate departments of the marine protection unit are promoting the breeding of seafood with high economic value such as yellow croaker and large yellow croaker."

"We want to buy the more energetic yellow croaker and big yellow croaker from you. We won't buy a lot, so you can just pay the market price. We want two yellow croakers, two males and two females, alive, and the bigger the better."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a difficult task!

"Captain Wang, you are too polite! As fishermen and seafood fishing companies, we humans have been taking from the sea, which is why marine life has been drastically reduced."

"We should be responsible in this regard, so in order to support seafood farming, our Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company voluntarily donated large yellow croaker and yellow croaker, two males and two females."

"Once we get some good quality yellow croaker and yellow croaker, I'll deliver them over there myself!"

Section Chief Wang quickly waved his hands, "It doesn't have to be free, we have funding for our research!"

Tang Xiaoyu was firm in his attitude. “No matter how much research funding we have, it’s not enough. There are many places to spend the money! As responsible fishermen and seafood fishing companies, we are willing to take on this marine responsibility.”

"If other fish fry or breeding fish are needed, we will try our best to find them and provide help to the best of our ability."

Seeing Tang Xiaoyu's firm attitude, Section Chief Wang agreed "reluctantly".

Liu Meilan specifically instructed in the telegram to try her best to preserve the hawksbill turtle shell.

Even if it cannot be bought or sold, it is extremely rare to make it into beautiful jewelry or handicrafts. (Photo)

It's a great gift or heirloom.

After dealing with these things, Tang Xiaoyu went directly to his cousin's law firm.

"Brother Zheng, the Li Family Restaurant hasn't paid me yet, so your lawyer's letter is useless!"

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "So now we have filed a lawsuit. If nothing unexpected happens, the subpoena will be delivered to Li's Restaurant today."

Tang Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "That's good! Meilan has already set sail and will arrive tomorrow morning or afternoon. I have to let everyone see my attitude and determination. I will never tolerate any delay in payment."

"It's a good idea to do this. Otherwise, it will be very annoying for you to ask for payment in the future." Tang Zheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, I promise I can get the payment for you."

"Well, thank you, second brother. You're welcome to pay the price." Tang Xiaoyu said.

"No need!" Tang Zheng refused, "It doesn't cost much, there's no need to pay."

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head. "That won't work. You don't own the law firm alone, and this is a public matter, not a private one. We still have to make the accounts clearer. If our Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company wants to become bigger and stronger, we must formalize it from the beginning and not be perfunctory. Otherwise, if we want to change it later, it will be too late and there will be a lot of resistance."

Tang Zheng was surprised, but thinking that his cousin was very principled, it was normal for her to have such thoughts.

"Okay!" Tang Zheng agreed, "You can pay me after I get the money back. It's time for lunch soon, let's eat together, and then go buy a ring with me this afternoon."

"Ah?" Tang Xiaoyu was startled. "Second brother, you've reached the stage of proposing so quickly?"

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I confessed my love to Sister Liwen, but she rejected me."

"I refused, but you still bought the ring?" Tang Xiaoyu asked back, not understanding what his cousin meant.

Tang Zheng nodded, "I know Liwen didn't really want to reject me, but she felt that there was a big age difference between us, and she was getting married for the second time, so she didn't want to cause criticism."

Tang Xiaoyu scratched his head, "Brother Zheng, I wonder if I should say something or not?"

Tang Zheng knew that his sister was very smart and experienced in dealing with people. "Xiao Yu, you tell me. As long as what you say is right, I will do it."

Tang Xiaoyu asked: "Do my uncle and aunt know?"

"I don't know!" Tang Zheng replied, "I want to propose successfully, or at least confirm our relationship, so I'll tell my parents."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu disagreed, "Second brother, Wang Liwen's first relationship was a free love. She even lost herself for love and suffered a great loss. Now she doesn't believe in love at all."

"Even if a young man like you takes the initiative to pursue her, she may feel a little happy in her heart, thinking that she is still young and has someone pursuing her, but Sister Liwen has a strong sense of morality and will never agree. Even if you ask her ten times or a hundred times, it will be useless. It's true that if you use the wrong method, everything will be in vain!"

Tang Zheng was stunned and a little panicked, "What should I do then?"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Second brother, free love will never work. Compared to love, she needs more responsibility. You should start from this aspect."

"It is said that marriage is decided by parents and by matchmakers, which is very traditional, but both parties have a strong sense of responsibility, especially the approval of both families, which is particularly important. I suggest that you talk to your second uncle and second aunt first, try to get their consent, and then ask the matchmaker to go to Teacher Wang to propose marriage."

"Ah?" Tang Zheng was stunned. "Propose marriage? Isn't this a bit old-fashioned?"

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Zheng, this may be old-fashioned, but a sense of security and responsibility is what she needs most. In addition, how do you express it to Teacher Wang? Just by saying that you love Sister Liwen?"

"People are two-faced, and their mouths are the most deceptive! Therefore, having watched your daughter jump into the fire pit once, do you think that you can make Teacher Wang see your sincerity just by making promises?"

"But if you can convince your second uncle and second aunt, that will be different! If the elders come forward to propose marriage, not only will Teacher Wang see your sincerity, but it will also prove that your second uncle and second aunt approve of your marriage with Sister Liwen. They will not embarrass Sister Liwen in the future and will not care about her second marriage status."

"This action can reduce the obstacles between you and Sister Liwen by 80%. The other 20% is the gossip of the people on the island. But if the elders of both families agree, then what does it have to do with others?"

When Tang Zheng heard this, he was shocked and invigorated, "Xiao Yu, what you said is very reasonable. However, if I tell you, I guess my parents will object and maybe even beat me up."

"Will you give up then?" Tang Xiaoyu asked.

Tang Zheng quickly shook his head, "Of course not!"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "That's it. You'll go through a lot of hardships, but your uncle and aunt are your biological parents. They won't really beat you to death. What are you afraid of?"

Tang Zheng smiled, "Yes, I'm not afraid. But I'm going to buy the ring today. When Meilan comes back, you can go back with me after you're done. I'm not afraid of getting beaten, but I'm worried about irritating my parents. What about you, can you persuade my parents for me?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay, when you're halfway through being beaten, I'll rush in to save you."

"Why are you fighting halfway? Couldn't you have come earlier?" Tang Zheng asked.

Tang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, "If I don't beat you up, won't my uncle and aunt be even more upset? It's worse for their health? Anyway, you are young, so a few slaps and kicks on you are nothing."

Tang Zheng nodded, "That's true."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "You are right to do this. Wait until your second uncle and second aunt agree. Your cousin was saved by the Wang family, so they will definitely not make things difficult for Sister Liwen. Without the hindrance of family members, you can propose to Wang Liwen again after the marriage proposal."

"Okay, let's do it!" Tang Zheng made up his mind and decided to "take the risk" to gain more initiative.

The brother and sister had lunch together and went to buy rings.

Lee's Restaurant.

"Madam, this is a letter sent from the post office. This is your letter. It seems to be sent from the court." When the secretary saw the boss's wife coming, she quickly handed it over.

Cao Xiuxiu took it, frowned slightly, and opened it to take a look. "Court summons? What's wrong with this Tang Xiaoyu? Wasn't it because he was too busy and didn't transfer the money? Is it necessary to rush him so much? He even sued me!"

The secretary asked, "Madam Boss, what should we do now?"

Cao Xiuxiu replied: "No! I want to see how arrogant that Tang guy can be!"

She had so many suppliers and owed a lot of money. She just paid them later, not not at all.

The bill has to be paid every time and there is no handle, so even if these suppliers sell inferior products as good ones, there is no way to punish them.

Therefore, Cao Xiuxiu insisted on not paying for the goods and confronted Tang Xiaoyu head-on.

Mr. Li has been busy recently and is not in Shenzhen.

Now both restaurants are managed by Cao Xiuxiu, who has the final say and makes all the decisions.

The secretary whispered, "Madam Boss, Sifang Island Seafood has not been out fishing recently. We use seafood from other buyers. According to diners, they think it doesn't taste as good as Sifang Island Seafood."

"You're just being hypocritical!" Cao Xiuxiu disagreed. "They were all fished from the sea, how could they be different?"

"But Madam, our business has indeed dropped by 20% compared to before." The secretary reported promptly.

Cao Xiuxiu retorted, "Of course business is good during the Chinese New Year. People are eating too much meat and fish now, so there is a reason for the decline in business. Okay, just do as I say. I still have to go for beauty treatments. You take care of the restaurant."

The secretary couldn't persuade him, so she gave up.

The other party has already sent a subpoena, so they probably won’t be notified to pick up the goods!

The same is true.

Tang Xiaoyu received a notice from Liu Meilan that he would be able to reach the shore around 11 o'clock in the morning.

According to the list, Tang Xiaoyu began to divide the quantities and types for the customers, trying his best to ensure that each family could buy satisfactory seafood.

As for the Li Family Restaurant, we are preparing to sue them, so of course we won’t notify them!

When Mr. Yang received the call, he brought his people over without saying a word.

"Manager Tang, congratulations on your fortune." Mr. Yang said with a smile. Not only did he come over, he also brought Tang Xiaoyu a relatively rare fruit, durian.

Tang Xiaoyu personally made a cup of tea for Mr. Yang, "I should be the one congratulating Mr. Yang on his fortune! I heard that Mr. Yang's restaurant is packed every day this year, and business is booming!"

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "If I replace all my seafood with yours, my business will probably be better. Now there are two boats fishing. You need to at least double the amount for me, otherwise I won't be happy."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Boss Yang, just because you support our Sifang Island seafood so much, I will increase your salary by 1.5 times."

"Ah?" Mr. Yang was stunned. "Is there such a good thing?"

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled, "Actually, it's not something that needs to be kept secret. Mr. Li from Li's Restaurant and his wife Cao Xiuxiu haven't paid for the batch of seafood they bought before the New Year."

"I have sued them through a law firm. The court should send them a subpoena today. When the seafood arrives at the shore, I didn't notify them to come and pick it up. I will sue them."

When Mr. Yang heard this, he was slightly stunned. "Mr. Li, you can't be so confused, right? Did you call him in person?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded. "By the afternoon before the New Year, the money hadn't been transferred yet. I called to urge them, and Mr. Li said he would transfer the money, but he didn't. I couldn't get through to Mr. Li again, so I called Cao Xiuxiu, and she said she was busy before the New Year and had no time to transfer the money, and would talk to her after the New Year. After that... nothing happened after that, and the money hasn't been transferred yet!"

"The Li couple are making a fuss!" Mr. Yang scolded with a smile, "No wonder he and I opened seafood restaurants at about the same time. I already have seven, but he only has two."

Tang Xiaoyu was suspicious, "Boss Yang is very familiar with Boss Li? If you inform him, then he can only double your salary, no more."
