The servant brought the fish over and placed it on the table.
Jia Hongyuan glanced at it and said, "I thought it was some treasure, just two sea fish? I don’t see anything special about them, they’re far inferior to my red dragon. Is it because these fish are too small to eat that they were given to Uncle as ornamental fish?"
After saying this, he looked at Ye Yuan with a smug expression.
"Don’t speak if you don’t understand," the middle-aged man beside Jia Hongyuan glared at him fiercely.
Zhao's father and several middle-aged men gathered around.
"Red Mint Angelfish, truly Red Mint Angelfish. Haha, I’ve tried many connections to get one, but couldn’t. I didn’t expect—didn’t expect this," Zhao's father said to himself while admiring the fish.
The only old man in the room, the moment he saw the fish, his eyes sparkled.
After looking at it for a long time, he said to Zhao's father, "Little Zhao, take a closer look. This fish is not an ordinary Red Mint Angelfish. Look at the words on its body. Haha, I can say that it’s very hard to find such a fish on this Blue Star."
After the old man finished speaking to Zhao's father, he turned to Ye Yuan and asked, "I wonder where you bought these two fish, young friend?"
Ye Yuan looked at the old man and respectfully replied, "I’m actually a fisherman by the sea. I found these by chance in the sea. Knowing that my leader’s father likes ornamental fish, I brought them this time. I don’t know if there are more such fish; there were only two in that place, and I caught them both."
The old man gazed at Ye Yuan, "Oh~? That’s too bad."
Jia Hongyuan wanted to say something but was stopped by the middle-aged man beside him with a look.
At this moment, the others also noticed the uniqueness of these two "Red Mint Angelfish."
A middle-aged man said to Zhao's father, "You’ve always wanted my red coral, right? How about it? One fish for my coral, will you exchange?"
Zhao Chuan’s father laughed, "Forget the coral, even a villa in the second ring won’t do. This isn’t about money. Can you get me one of these fish? Hahaha."
Ye Yuan thought to himself, "If I had known, I would have brought more. I could probably sell them for a good price here."
Ye Yuan was just thinking, but he really didn’t dare to do it.
Zhao's father’s gaze towards Ye Yuan changed. He patted Ye Yuan and said, "Little Yuan, I’ve heard about you from Zhao Chuan. This gift is quite valuable, but if I were to return it, I’d really be reluctant. How about this, if you have any problems in the future, just let me know. As long as I can help, I will."
Ye Yuan didn’t have any particular thoughts. He brought the fish this time to repay Zhao Chuan for the car. Since Zhao's father said this, he just thanked him symbolically.
Although he didn’t care, Zhao Shuang, who was standing beside him, heard her father’s words and her pretty little mouth curled up slightly. She then glanced at Ye Yuan and looked out the window as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Chuan’s father didn’t invite many people for his birthday, only a few old comrades and the younger generation, a total of two tables.
The younger generation sat together, and Zhao Shuang deliberately sat between Ye Yuan and his brothers, which infuriated Jia Hongyuan. If it weren’t for the elders being around, he would have already lost his temper. Even so, he kept glaring at Ye Yuan and his brothers.
During the meal, they learned that Jia Hongyuan was studying in the M country and had returned specially for Zhao's father’s birthday.
Throughout the meal, Zhao Shuang didn’t say a single word to Jia Hongyuan.
Zhao Shuang seemed very curious about Ye Yuan and asked many questions about him. This made the second and third brothers joke later that Ye Yuan was almost becoming the eldest brother’s brother-in-law. Ye Yuan ignored them.
Originally, Ye Yuan thought about selling the red dragon in his space to the third brother before leaving, but now he didn’t dare to. It would be hard to explain if he said he ate it and then produced another live one in front of so many people.
"Forget it, I’m not short of that much money now."
Ye Yuan felt it was scary. Before coming to the capital, 800,000 was a significant amount to him, but now it was just a small part of his account.
......
Gatherings are always short. The four brothers stood in the terminal of the capital, Ye Yuan’s flight was today, and he was eager to return to receive his yacht.
"In a few days, I’ll personally deliver the things you asked for and take a vacation at your place."
The things the eldest brother mentioned were a batch of jade fragments that Ye Yuan had ordered from Zhao Chuan.
After learning that jade could be exchanged for points, he ordered a large amount of jade fragments from the eldest brother.
"Brother Four, in a few days, I’ll go with the eldest brother to visit you. We’ll go sea fishing. Unlike the eldest brother, who enjoys life with money, I don’t want to be tied down by work. I want to keep my wings of freedom," the second brother said in his usual carefree manner.
The third brother came over and gave Ye Yuan a hug, "Don’t worry, I’ll sell your fish as soon as possible. Now that I know you’re not short of money, I’m counting on you."
Ye Yuan nodded vigorously to the three of them, got up, and prepared to board the plane with his boarding pass.
......
Blue Island City.
Ye Yuan arrived by plane yesterday and stayed at a hotel near the dock.
He called home and told his parents that he had bought a boat and was preparing to sail back.
His parents thought Ye Yuan had bought a small fishing boat and complained, "The sampans at home are fine, why spend the extra money?" Ye Yuan didn’t explain much.
At the dock, the yacht was already moored. After checking the yacht and finding no issues, he completed the handover and paid the final installment. The auction house staff then left.
Ye Yuan took the yacht’s documents and went to the maritime department to handle the necessary procedures. Each yacht needed its own name, and Ye Yuan didn’t want to use the original name, so he changed it.
"Water Control" was the name Ye Yuan gave his yacht.
Thus, a legendary yacht was born.
Ye Yuan sailed the "Water Control" towards Pinghai County.
To drive a yacht, one needs a professional license. Fortunately, Ye Yuan had obtained a boat driving license during his school days.
This yacht was very advanced, equipped with all kinds of high-tech devices.
Ye Yuan took out some jade fragments he had bought while shopping and exchanged them all for points.
The long-awaited system voice finally sounded.
"Congratulations, host, your points have reached 10,000 points. The points mall is now open, and your Water-type creature affinity has increased by 5."
