Being on an island, they naturally ate seafood hotpot.

Because the boss was here personally, the dishes served here were not only fresh, but also of good quality. They were all carefully selected ingredients.

However, Li Yizheng, who had been eating at sea all year round, did not feel like it was anything special. He could only say that the taste was better than what he had prepared at home. Speaking of which, it was also a problem with the soup base, and it had nothing to do with the dishes.

The only thing that left a deep impression on him was the geoduck clams here. Whether it was the texture or the taste, they were all unique and extremely rare.

However…

Why would Chen Jiaoyue order the geoduck clams when he was treating two grown men to a meal?

Li Yizheng, who was biting his chopsticks, could not help but fall into deep thought.

Without even thinking, he eliminated all the factors that made him exist.

He was a tool man and a third wheel. He was well aware of his position.

He looked at his brother, who was calmly responding to him and had the air of a king.

Then, he looked at Chen Jiaoyue, who was obviously trying to be friendly and making herself blush. He had a mysterious guess in his heart.

Hint!

It was definitely a hint!

To do such a thing on their first meeting, it was just not normal!

Moreover, through the conversation between the two of them, Li Yizheng also learned an important piece of news.

Qi Hang seemed to have made other deals with these two sisters when he was not aware of it!

From the posture that Chen Jiaoyue showed, this girl must be interested in Qi Hang, and not just any interest!

Chen Fanxing was even more so.

The two beautiful girls had a good impression of him, and he handled it perfectly. He did not take the initiative to respond, nor did he passively reject.

If the current situation continued, as long as they did not show their cards, they would definitely feel that they still had a chance to rise to the top.

In this way, it would be very difficult for the two girls to have any intense conflict…

Li Yizheng was just waking up from a dream.

Holy shit!

Brother Hang was awesome!

Was he trying to take all the sisters for himself?

Or was the relationship between them already beyond his imagination?

Brother Hang had only been back for a short while!

The city boy knew how to play, but he could not compare to himself!

Li Yizheng could not help but look at Qi Hang with an indescribable gaze.

“What’s wrong?”

Qi hang, who did not know what Li Yizheng’s thoughts were, and looked at him in confusion.

“Nothing.” Li Yizheng hurriedly shook his head and took a bite of the geoduck. “This thing is so delicious that I even want to bring some back.”

“I’ll ask the waiter to pack some later.”

Chen Jiaoyue gave a faint smile and then turned her attention to Qi Hang. “You said that you just came back a few days ago, right?”

“Yes, less than a week.”

“Then what are your plans for coming back?”Chen Jiaoyue tilted her head and asked.

“Plans…”Qi Hang thought for a while and shook his head with a smile. “To be honest, I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“Have you ever thought of moving to the town? After all, the transportation there is more convenient, and the living facilities there are very complete.”

Perhaps even Chen Jiaoyue herself did not expect that when she said this, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation, but it was very well concealed by her action of lowering her head to eat.

However, Li Yizheng held his forehead at the same time and even sighed slightly.

Sigh, it was obvious.

As expected, she was plotting against his brother!

Qi Hang did not put his attention on her and replied casually, “Not yet. I want to be closer to my family.”

Chen Jiaoyue was about to reply, but Li Yizheng gave her a hiss and shook his head.

As a meticulous person, she immediately thought of what happened in Gu Fan Village a few years ago, so she changed the topic and talked about family matters.

In the end, she received a call halfway through her meal. She apologized and left in a hurry.

“Such a busy person.” Li Yizheng sighed. “She’s so serious about work that she doesn’t even eat anymore.”

“Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the business so big.”

Qi Hang sat across from him and handed over the 100,000 yuan advance that Chen Jiaoyue had given him. “Here, take it.”

“What do you mean by this?” Li Yizheng’s face was full of surprise as he pushed the money away. “This is all money that you worked hard to earn. How can I take it? Take it back quickly.”

“No…”

Qi Hang let out a long breath, he said slowly, “in the past, my parents have been indebted to the people in the village. Now that I’m back, you guys have also helped me a lot. Since that incident, I haven’t expressed anything either… You can treat this as a pension for the families in distress and pass it on to them on my behalf.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Hearing this, Li Yizheng, who was rarely serious, said seriously, “the people of our Gu Fan Village rely on the sea to make a living. We have long put our lives on the line. The sea storm is not your parents’ fault, much less yours. You shouldn’t blame yourself like this.”

Qi Hang was silent.

Li Yizheng’s tone became gentler, he said softly, “actually, everyone in the village feels sorry for you. Uncle and aunt are the best in our village. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to get out of poverty and become rich. Although life is a little difficult now, at least we still have something to look forward to.”

Qi Hang sighed and said, “when my parents were alive, their dream was to build a fishery and Gu Fan Village. Unfortunately…”

Li Yizheng was also silent, after a long time, he said, “if you really want to blame someone, you have to blame all of us. At that time, if everyone didn’t think that the village needed to build roads to ensure a long-term income, resulting in such a big funding gap, uncle and aunt wouldn’t have taken the risk to take everyone out to sea…”

“I don’t blame you.” Qi Hang shook his head.

“Speaking of which, you might not know this, but the marine environment here has deteriorated a lot in the past two years. We basically can’t meet fish shoals near the sea, causing many young and strong people in the village to go out to work.”

Li Yizheng chuckled and returned to his casual look. “If you really want to do something for us, then learn from your mom and dad and help our people earn more money and develop. You’re a top student, so you definitely have a way.”

“I do have a way, but I have to castrate you first.” Qi Hang joked.

“F*ck, why do you always think about castrating me?”

Li Yizheng rolled his eyes, grabbed the money, and stuffed it back into Qi Hang’s backpack.

“I don’t want the money. You just came back, and there are still many places where you can use the money. The house should be renovated, right? You need to change the small boat to a big fishing boat in the future, right? You need to buy a delivery car, right? Not to mention the fishery. Your one million yuan is not enough.”

He paused for a moment, and then that not-so-honest smile appeared on his face again. “When you become a big boss, I’ll be your chauffeur. How about taking me to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month?”

Qi Hang raised his cup and clinked it with his. He downed it in one gulp. “I wish you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month as soon as possible!”

“F*ck!”

The two of them laughed and started eating again.

A faint smile hung on Qi Hang’s face the whole time.

He remembered what he had just said.
