Inside the tank was a fighting crab:
A Japanese spider crab!
Fat Mo actually kept a Japanese spider crab!
And this Japanese spider crab, from its appearance, seemed even stronger than Jiang Bin's champion. It lay quietly in the shallow water, motionless, but its presence exuded a powerful aura.
"Fat Mo, you have a Japanese spider crab?" Annie shouted, "Then why did you use a meat crab for the fight? Are you crazy?"
Fat Mo still had his usual silly smile, "I can't raise it. Having a Japanese spider crab is just for show, to look impressive, to look impressive."
Lei Huanxi narrowed his eyes.
Really?
There were some scattered food items in the tank, unidentifiable, but Lei Huanxi had seen some high-quality fresh beef in the fridge earlier, and only a small portion had been cut. He had been puzzled then, thinking that with Fat Mo's size, that little bit of beef would be enough?
Now he understood. Fat Mo had once mentioned that the food for the champion was a mix of raw beef and fish.
This tank...
Is this fat man really as simple, carefree, and silly as he looks?
"Cooking, cooking, I'm hungry." Fat Mo chuckled and walked out of the room, not forgetting to carefully cover the tank with a blue cloth before leaving.
The two men were very efficient, and soon a table full of dishes was ready.
There's an old saying: don't think that women always do the cooking at home, but most chefs are men.
A table full of dishes, quite a feast. Fat Mo took out two bottles of red wine, "Today is too happy. Jiang Bin used to be so arrogant, and finally, he's been humiliated. Come, let's celebrate properly."
The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Lei Huanxi took a sip, "Mo..."
"Just call me Fat Mo." Fat Mo always had a smiling face.
"Fat Mo, be honest, is that Japanese spider crab for the fighting?" Lei Huanxi asked, voicing his doubts, "You didn't invite me here just to celebrate, did you?"
He had found it strange from the beginning. Although he thought Fat Mo was a good person, they had just met and weren't close enough for such an invitation. He had thought it might be for Annie's sake.
But now it seemed far more complicated.
"Brother Huanxi, I'll toast to you." Fat Mo, who was older than Lei Huanxi, called him "Brother Huanxi."
Fat Mo drank the wine in one gulp, "Brother Huanxi, teach me how to raise fighting crabs."
Indeed, Fat Mo had ulterior motives.
"Fat Mo, something's off with you." Annie asked curiously, "You never cared about winning or losing before, why today..."
"Before, I had no chance of winning, so I might as well lose in the first round and enjoy the show for the rest of the time." Fat Mo's smile never wavered, "I have no other intentions, and I don't want to make money or gain fame from fighting crabs. I just want to beat Jiang Bin once, just once."
Annie suddenly pointed at Fat Mo, "Oh, I remember, I remember, it's because of that incident, right?"
Lei Huanxi was puzzled, and Annie explained the whole story.
When fighting crabs first became popular in their circle, Fat Mo was very enthusiastic and trained a fighting crab carefully.
But he met Jiang Bin's champion in the first round, and the result was predictable.
Losing was one thing, but Jiang Bin picked up Fat Mo's defeated crab, threw it on the ground, and stomped it to death, mocking Fat Mo:
"You fatso, you're stupid enough, and you even find a crab dumber than you. Forget it, I'll do you a favor and kill this waste. Later, you can come to my place and pick any one, which one isn't better than your waste?"
At the time, Fat Mo, who was used to being mocked, just smiled, and no one took it seriously. Who would have thought he would remember it until today?
"You're raising crabs to get revenge?" Lei Huanxi realized after hearing the story.
"Not revenge." Fat Mo's eyes narrowed into a line, "Just to beat him once."
What others saw as a joke was perhaps the greatest insult to Fat Mo.
He always smiled, but he never forgot this incident.
"Brother Huanxi, help me this time, and I, Fat Mo, will owe you a favor." Fat Mo almost begged, "I don't have any special skills, but I know a lot of things..."
Annie suddenly understood.
Everyone thought Fat Mo was stupid, useless, and silly, so they never hid anything from him, including business secrets. They even entrusted important tasks to him.
After all, he was free labor.
Whenever such discussions took place, Fat Mo would eat voraciously, as if he didn't care about what was being discussed.
But he remembered everything...
"You fatso." Annie's beautiful eyes stared at Fat Mo, "I said, your dad's 4S store, which isn't doing well, still has so many people trying to take advantage of you, and you live a comfortable life. Tell me, last time when Xu Total was about to finalize the acquisition of Fei Wang Technology, a company from another city suddenly intervened and offered one million more, and Fei Wang Technology was sold to that company. Was it you behind this?"
"No, no." Fat Mo denied it repeatedly, "I know nothing, nothing. Brother Huanxi, please help me."
This Fat Mo was truly deep and cunning, pretending to be a fool. Everyone thought he was a fool, but the real fools were those who thought he was a fool.
The problem was that Lei Huanxi really didn't know how to raise fighting crabs, but Fat Mo wouldn't believe him.
Lei Huanxi thought for a moment, "Fat Mo, I can't tell you how to raise fighting crabs, but you have to trust me. Give me your Japanese spider crab, and in a few days, come to Xiantao Village to pick it up. Maybe it will be ready."
"Just a few days?" Fat Mo said, then lightly slapped himself, "Look at my big mouth. I believe you, I believe you. Brother Huanxi, take the crab with you now, and when it's ready, just call me, and I'll come to pick it up."
He looked so honest and sincere that even if you scolded him for three days and three nights, he wouldn't get angry. But now, neither Lei Huanxi nor Annie dared to underestimate him.
"Brother Huanxi, didn't you just win 50,000 yuan?" Fat Mo suddenly mentioned money, "If you trust me, how about leaving 30,000 yuan with me? For a month, just a month."
Lei Huanxi didn't hesitate for a second and immediately handed over 30,000 yuan to Fat Mo.
Annie's eyes sparkled, "Fat Mo, do you have some news?"
Fat Mo took a sip of wine and spoke slowly, "Kangda Electronics looks good on the surface, but they're having some cash flow problems recently. But they will soon get a big order..."
Annie immediately understood.
Lei Huanxi also understood. His 30,000 yuan was a tiny amount, but Fat Mo was purely returning the favor for helping him raise the crab.
Annie gave a thumbs up, "Fat Mo, you're good, really good. My dad even went to investigate Kangda Electronics recently and didn't find any cash flow problems, but you did."
"That Shi Jianghao, the one who uses the short-clawed crab, told me about Kangda Electronics borrowing from his family." Fat Mo said casually, "Shi Jianghao was drunk that day and mentioned it offhandedly."
Annie quickly put down her wine glass, "Who will dare to drink with you in the future?"
Lei Huanxi didn't care. Apart from his skill in "training crabs," he had nothing that Fat Mo could use.
But Fat Mo's story taught him a lesson:
Never judge a person by their appearance.
"Brother Huanxi, I like being with you, do you know why?" Fat Mo, who probably couldn't hold his liquor well, said, "I'm from the countryside too, and I came to Yundong with my parents when I was three. No one looked up to us from the countryside, and it was like that from elementary school. I was not good at studying and couldn't continue after high school... Later, my family had some money and opened a few stores, but they still looked down on me..."
His words were a bit jumbled, but Lei Huanxi understood the gist.
"Brother Huanxi, Annie, I have money." Fat Mo's face glowed with pride, "I have a lot of money, all earned by myself. Why do they look down on me? Can they earn money themselves?"
"Neither can I." Annie felt a bit short of breath.
In the past, she had a sense of superiority in front of Fat Mo, but now, thinking about it, where did her superiority come from?
"You're different from them." Fat Mo raised his voice, "You never looked down on me. Remember, last year on your birthday, they told you not to invite me, but you did, and you gave me the first piece of cake. You're more loyal than they are... Brother Huanxi, are there any girls in your village without boyfriends?"
His thoughts were quite scattered, and it took Lei Huanxi a while to react, "What for?"
"I have to listen to my dad and find a girl from the countryside, with big breasts and a big butt, good for having children." Fat Mo was really drunk and spoke more freely, "I don't trust city girls. I want to find one from the countryside, dress her up beautifully, and treat her like a goddess at home, to have a son and a daughter for me..."
This is Fat Mo's story, a man everyone looked down on but who was more capable than anyone else.
