sleepy tiger

Cao Hanyang rested his arms on the right side of the ship, and looked down at the churning water below the hull.Qi Yan stood beside him and threw a piece of fish into the sea, but he didn't see any fish to eat. He sighed in disappointment and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I want to die." Cao Hanyang slumped his shoulders.

"What's the matter? Are you secretly in love with Juntao?" Qi Yan said with a smile.

Cao Hanyang raised his head, and the dead fish looked at Qi Yan.

"...I withdraw what I just said." Qi Yan raised his hands, "Speak, Young Master Cao."

"Sigh." Cao Hanyang sighed, "I'm applying to go back to my hometown for an internship."

"Why?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows wonderingly, "I remember your family has an office in Beijing."

"Stay far away from this place of disputes." Cao Hanyang said, "You also saw what Young Master Chi did. I will go farther away, lest he cause troubles and splash my blood."

"Hahahahaha." Qi Yan laughed until his shoulders shook, "Don't you want to grab the best seat in the front row?"

Cao Hanyang glanced at him and said, "It won't hurt your back when you stand and talk." He lay down back to his original position and continued to live without love.

"Don't be sad, let's go fishing." Qi Yan said, "Lao Ye!"

Ye Rencheng held a small red bucket and greeted the two of them like a student: "Come on, I brought the bait."

"Let's go." Qi Yan pushed Cao Hanyang's shoulders with both hands to follow Ye Rencheng's pace, "Today, the three of us must catch a big fish by ourselves."

The three of them walked through the cabin together to the deck at the stern. Chi Juntao was sitting on the ponytail and fiddling with fishing rods. Cao Hanyang asked, "Where's Mr. Mu?"

"He's gone to the bathroom." Chi Juntao said, he saw the little red bucket Ye Rencheng was carrying, "You guys go fishing elsewhere."

"...The boat is so big, where do we go fishing?" Qi Yan said, "You and Mu Xu are two people, the three of us, the minority obeys the majority."

"Forget it, the groom is the biggest." Ye Rencheng said, "Let's go to the side, so as not to disturb the world of the two of you."

Cao Hanyang recognized the reality early on, turned around and left wisely.

Mu Xu washed his face, put his hands on both sides of the sink, and stared at himself in the mirror.He had no history of panic attacks, no asthma or allergies, and as far as he could remember, he was in extremely good health.But why did he suddenly panic so much that he couldn't maintain his composure, like shaking off a piece of flannelette suddenly, all the negative emotions accumulated over the years were displayed in the sun.

The water droplets gathered along his cheeks to his chin, and then dropped into the pool drop by drop. Mu Xu took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. He carefully looked at the image in the mirror to make sure that there was no sign of embarrassment. He straightened his hair, Open the bathroom door and go out.

Chi Juntao has already hung the bait on the hook, and when he saw Mu Xu approaching, he raised his hand to greet him: "I brought a tablet, if you're bored, let's fix the fishing rod, and then go watch a movie on the recliner."

Mu Xu nodded: "Okay." He walked to Chi Juntao's side, adjusted the fishing rod skillfully, hung up the bait and threw out the fishing line, and fixed the fishing rod on the buckle on the side of the boat.

The sea breeze was blowing slowly, and the blue sky and the white birds passing by at low altitude formed a refreshing scene. Chi Juntao said, "It's not too cold today."

"Have you thought about the way ahead?" Mu Xu asked.

"I will take down Joaquin." Chi Juntao said, looking at the vast sea, his bright eyes burst out with burning ambition, "I will lead Joajin out on a path that is not limited to the aristocratic family."

Mu Xu put his elbows on the side of the boat and asked with interest: "How?"

"Jajin's initial idea was to lock the hands of the family, preventing them from taking advantage of information to grab the first pot of gold in emerging industries, so the president of Huajin must be someone other than the family." Chi Jun Tao said, "The problem is that people outside the aristocratic family have little understanding of the aristocratic family and have little control. This is a lock that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Even if the hands of the aristocratic family are locked, the aristocratic family can still pour money out through other gray products. Make an investment."

Mu Xu's expression turned serious. Hearing the novel point of view, he nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem."

"From an objective point of view, the competition between your father and my grandfather is a microcosm of this model." Chi Juntao said, "I'm sorry to offend."

Mu Xu waved his hand and said, "Continue."

"If the person sitting in the position of president is a member of the family, such as me." Chi Juntao said, "I understand the operation mode of the family better, and I also know their relationships and weaknesses. The family may not be able to twist together."

"What is your ultimate goal?" Mu Xu asked.

"Joajin is the future Sequoia, Hillhouse, CDH, and Softbank." Chi Juntao said, "When outsiders are in charge of Joaquin, the confrontation between the family and Joaquin is an ineffective introversion, consuming resources without any benefits. It was my grandfather's original idea for the family to control Joaquin and push Joaquin to the world stage to compete with the big consortia."

"Is this the blueprint that you and your grandfather talked about?" Mu Xu asked.

"My grandfather gave me a notebook." Chi Juntao said, "The ideas in it are enough for me to study for a lifetime."

As expected of Chi Yan, the youngest minister of commerce in the Republic, Mu Xu was both admiring and disdainful. He looked at Chi Juntao with the corners of his lips curled up: "I'm waiting for that day."

"Okay." Chi Juntao bent his eyes, held Mu Xu's hand, and said solemnly, "You have to believe me, I'm different from my grandfather." He frowned, "What's wrong with your hand?" Is it still this cold?"

"The water in the bathroom is relatively cold." Mu Xu said, and he asked, "Can you show me that notebook of your grandfather's?"

Chi Juntao said: "I put it in the study, you can take it if you want to see it."

"You don't worry about me." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao shrugged: "What's mine is yours."

The fishing line was lightly pulled, Mu Xu picked up the fishing rod, and shook the fishing rod left and right according to his feeling, he said, "This fish is not small."

Chi Juntao stretched his neck and looked towards the sea expectantly. The gray-black back of the fish gradually floated up on the sea surface, with a spike on its back, and its tail swung rapidly.Mu Xu took two steps back and used his skill to throw the fish over the side of the boat, and fell into the deck with a "slap". The big fish was about [-] centimeters long and was alive and kicking.Chi Juntao took out a stainless steel basin from nowhere and slammed it on the head of the fish. With two "booms and bangs", the big fish flicked its tail twice and stopped moving.

"It's a sea bass." Mu Xu said, he knelt down and fiddled with the fish, "Find a cook to make soup, this fish is delicious."

"I'll try." Chi Juntao rolled up his sleeves, trying to catch him, but Mu Xu raised his arm to block him: "Wait, bring me a rag, I'll take out the fishhook first."

"Mr. Mu caught a fish?" Cao Hanyang walked over with a mop in hand, "I heard you guys are making a lot of noise over there."

"Did you catch it too?" Chi Juntao asked.

"No, Qi Sanhuo clumsily kicked over the bait bucket." Cao Hanyang said, "We just cleaned it up."

"Is there a rag?" Mu Xu asked.

"Yes, just washed it, here it is." Cao Hanyang handed Mu Xu a rag, and squatted down to watch the big fish with interest, "Why doesn't it move?"

"I was knocked unconscious by Juntao." Mu Xu said, he used a rag to pad the back of the perch to avoid the hard thorns from getting stuck in his hands, and pulled out the hook forcefully, "The perch has a deep bite, so it's hard to pull out." The fish mouth was hooked out together with the broken internal organs. The scene was extremely bloody. Cao Hanyang asked: "Is it just pulled out so hard?"

"I need the hook extractor to help, but there should be no such professional equipment on board." Mu Xu said calmly, "That's it."

Chi Juntao watched from the side, and felt that Mu Xu, whose hands were stained with blood, was also very beautiful, brutal and elegant, so he handed over a tissue: "Wipe your hands."

Cao Hanyang grinned at the corners of his lower lip, feeling the tendons in his calves, the sharp fishhook, the dead fish with broken heads, and the pungent fishy smell. He stood up, took a few steps back to avoid the smell, and said: "Did you take this fish back?"

"Shall we stay on the boat or in the hotel tonight?" Mu Xu asked.

"Live on the boat." Chi Juntao said, "There is a kitchen in the cabin, I'm trying to make some soup."

"Okay." Mu Xu put the dead fish into the bucket, and Cao Hanyang saw the tail of the fish move a few times.

"Well... I'll go and see if Sanhuo and the others have caught any fish." Cao Hanyang left quickly, thinking to himself that it's not like the whole family doesn't come in, Mu Xu is obviously as cruel as Chi Juntao.

"How many years does your grandfather plan to let you be an assistant?" Mu Xu asked.

"At least three years." Chi Juntao said, "Afterwards, we will start from the grassroots and strive to become the president at the age of 35."

"35 years old, a bit slow." Mu Xu said, "You need to form a strong team, this is not your own war."

"I know." Chi Juntao said, he looked at Mu Xu and handed out an olive branch, "So, will you help me?"
