Chapter 46

When Ye Yuan heard it was Zhang Gui, he couldn’t help but look at Su Mei with a strange expression.

Su Mei, seeing Ye Yuan’s expression, asked, "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"

"How many suppliers does Sister Su have?" Ye Yuan asked instead of answering.

Su Mei put on a pitiful little woman’s face, "Sister just took over the restaurant and was bullied by the competition. The previous suppliers have all immigrated. How many suppliers could there be? It took Sister a long time to find this one."

Wang Yueshan rolled his eyes at the side, thinking, "Who would dare to bully you? In Lan Dao City, who doesn’t know you have the nickname 'Flower Mulan of the Business World'?"

Hearing Su Mei’s words, Ye Yuan, out of kindness and not wanting Su Mei to suffer any losses because of his matter, said, "Then, Sister Su, you’d better find another one. I heard this one can’t provide any seafood."

Su Mei sensed there was more to Ye Yuan’s words but didn’t want to give him the impression that she wanted to know everything on their first meeting, so she said, "Then, Sister will be in a bind. I wonder if Xiaoyuan can help Sister?"

Ye Yuan looked at Wang Yueshan, as they had cooperated a few times and had a pleasant relationship.

Wang Yueshan also understood Ye Yuan’s meaning, "Xiaoyuan, you’re a good person. Brother will be honest with you. I will definitely return to the family in the future to manage the family’s hotel. This trading company is a test from the family. With you here, I’m basically worry-free. So, you can sell however you want, but brother also has to say this: don’t forget me, your hardworking brother, when you have the beautiful sister."

Ye Yuan understood Wang Yueshan’s meaning and said to Su Mei, "No problem. I’m just starting out. I can’t guarantee a steady supply, but I can help Sister Su get through this crisis."

The reason he was so confident was that all the fish from Zhang Gui’s catch were in his spatial ring. Supplying a few times wouldn’t be a problem.

"Then, we’re settled. When you have time, Sister will come to visit. Don’t be unwelcoming when the time comes."

Su Mei made a joke. She had accomplished her goal this time. Seeing that the time was about right, she got up to take her leave.

...

This auction in Hong Kong caused quite a stir. Initially, only a few self-media outlets reported on it, but as major media outlets began to report, "Yuwang Seafood" quickly trended on Weibo.

- Abalone Reappears at Hong Kong Auction, Sells for 30.5 Million

...

Various reports flooded in. Each report detailed the grandeur of the auction.

What Ye Yuan didn’t expect was that "Yuwang Seafood" would be reported by so many media outlets.

These reports quickly reached Lan Dao City, which took the matter very seriously. Relevant leaders held a meeting to study the situation and planned to establish "Yuwang Seafood" as a well-known brand in Pinghai County, using this opportunity to promote the development of Pinghai County.

...

At Lan Dao Airport, Ye Yuan and Su Mei walked off the plane together. They had met on the plane.

"Xiaoyuan, do you have a car? Do you need Sister Su’s car to take you?" Su Mei asked Ye Yuan when she saw her car arrive.

"No need, my car is in the parking lot."

"Alright, then it’s settled. I’ll come to your place tomorrow. Just don’t be unwelcoming when the time comes."

Su Mei had already arranged with Ye Yuan on the plane to visit his fish farm the next day.

"Sure, see you tomorrow," Ye Yuan replied.

Su Mei waved to Ye Yuan and got into her car.

...

Back on Yuwang Island, the news had already reached Pinghai County, and many people knew that Ye Yuan had made a fortune in Hong Kong.

The workers on the island were very happy. This meant their jobs were now stable. Initially, many people thought Ye Yuan’s fish farm wouldn’t last long, given that such a large area of the sea had only a few fish fry.

When Ye Yuan got home, he gave the gifts he bought in Hong Kong to his family. His parents scolded him for being extravagant, but Niu Niu happily ran around with her new clothes.

At night, Ye Yuan released all the fish he had obtained from Zhang Gui into his fish farm from his spatial ring.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Ye Yuan had specifically asked Ding Yi and the others to go out on a boat and return late at night. This way, if anyone asked about the fish the next day, he could explain that Ding Yi and the others had brought them back.

The fish had not been in the spatial ring for long, but even so, they had improved significantly and were no different from wild fish.

After finishing this, Ye Yuan went home to sleep.

...

At the Pinghai County pier, numerous media reporters gathered. They all wanted to interview Ye Yuan. Among them were not only reporters from Lan Dao City but also journalists from He Dong Province.

Since Yuwang Island was now a private island with no ferry service, these media reporters were waiting at the pier. The Pinghai County leadership was urgently arranging a boat for the media to use.

Su Mei arrived on her private yacht. On the island, Ye Yuan showed her around the entire place. Su Mei was dressed casually today, with a tight pair of jeans that accentuated her perfect figure.

She wore a cartoon-patterned T-shirt that instantly transformed her from a beautiful young woman into a beautiful girl. With a large pair of sunglasses on, even those who knew her well found it hard to recognize this girl as the famous owner of Fuxiangju in Lan Dao City.

Su Mei became very interested in the resort under construction. The environment here lacked the noise of the city and had a peaceful, rural tranquility, making it very suitable for the elderly to live in.

"Xiaoyuan, when this place is finished, you must reserve a room for me. I’ll bring my family here for a vacation when I have time."

"No problem. This place isn’t open to the public. I built it to entertain friends. Sister Su can come whenever you want."

The two chatted as they walked to the fish farm.

They saw many workers holding tools and confronting a few people at the dock.

Ye Yuan approached and saw a few thugs shouting, "Get your boss out here. Our Brother Gui is here to do business. You country bumpkins better not be ungrateful."

A yellow-haired thug was shouting.

The workers saw Ye Yuan approaching and made way for him. Uncle Er, the leader, came to Ye Yuan’s side and whispered, "Xiaoyuan, that’s Zhang Gui. He has a bad reputation in our county. Be careful, don’t let him fool you."

When Ye Yuan heard it was Zhang Gui, he perked up and looked over. A fat man in his thirties, wearing a black leather jacket, with a large gemstone ring on his finger and a thick gold chain around his neck, stood out.

Seeing Ye Yuan walk out of the crowd, Zhang Gui guessed that this young man must be the boss.
