Under the influence of a few boxes of cigarettes, Oka officially took office. Even without those cigarettes, he would still have to take up his position. While out fishing together, he had no choice but to focus on his catch. However, now that he was here with nothing to do, he couldn't help but tease Shui Bi Zhang for a while; it was impossible not to offer some guidance.
Shui Bi Zhang always kept his word when it came to Oka's advice. Under Oka's direction, although the work became more exhausting, the line was slowly being reeled in. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. After nearly half an hour of effort, by the side of the fishing boat, Mr. Man Cang made a precise strike, casting his hook with perfect timing that made Shi Tian envious.
A few people worked together to haul the fish onto the boat. Man Cang Hao had successfully completed his mission for the day, bringing two Tuna aboard. If they could catch another one tonight, it would be an overachievement.
As the fishing session concluded, Mini Air Force was directed by Wang Ergou, with Oka supervising and Sun Lang proudly taking on the role of captain. After learning from Oka and Pingtou Ge for a whole day, Wang Ergou was eager to showcase his newfound skills.
After a long day of efforts, Li Yunfei finally arrived as he had hoped. This place was unfamiliar to him; it was his first time here, but he had come because of his son!
He called out over the radio, summoning Pingtou Ge to his rented yacht. Pingtou Ge immediately transformed into a well-behaved child. "Dad! What are you doing here? You've seen it; I've been stuck on this little platform for a month or two! Please transfer me back!" As soon as he stepped onto the yacht, Pingtou Ge began to complain.
This tactic had been honed through long experience and was foolproof. Whenever he complained, Li Yunfei would feel pleased and would never consider transferring him back.
"Are you going fishing today?" Ignoring Pingtou Ge's grievances, Li Yunfei unexpectedly asked.
"Not going fishing? Where can we fish? We’re not allowed to fish on the platform!" He responded quickly, almost revealing too much truth.
Why had Li Yunfei come? He had arrived quietly—what did that mean? Did he want to surprise him? Or was he really planning to transfer him back?
Pingtou Ge regretted speaking too hastily; if Li Yunfei agreed right away, it would be troublesome!
"We're going to catch Tuna! Oh right, there are sharks too!" Lighting a cigarette, Li Yunfei looked at Pingtou Ge with amusement. "Who caught that shark yesterday? It must have weighed around six hundred pounds!"
At the mention of the shark, Pingtou Ge was momentarily stunned.
How did Li Yunfei know about the shark? Who told him? Shi Tian? That couldn’t be possible; Shi Tian wouldn’t know his father!
Who else could it be besides Shi Tian? The people on the boat couldn’t possibly have told him. If Shi Tian had boasted about it to Shi Ye and their friends, they wouldn’t have informed Li Yunfei either. If they were going to tell him anything, they would have done so earlier!
Had he bragged about it on his platform? Did someone report back to Li Yunfei? That seemed plausible! But who had the ability to send a report directly to Li Yunfei?
He had been somewhat neglectful lately—going out on boats and fishing while swapping shifts might have upset some people. But that didn’t seem likely! Everyone on the platform knew him well enough; whenever they sent something over, aside from alcohol, he had never been stingy—he shared whatever he could.
He needed to investigate this matter when he got back; there were certain things that shouldn’t be done secretly. He detested those who engaged in underhanded tactics!
Yesterday a friend had come over to fish; he couldn’t turn down the invitation and ended up taking a trip out at sea with him. Oh right! He caught a Tuna yesterday! When you leave later, take it back with you so you and Mom can taste it! Remember to save a piece for Xiao Yu; this is something his brother caught personally—she should try some too!
Li Yunfei could definitely catch sharks, and there was no way to hide the fishing trip from yesterday. Since it couldn't be concealed any longer, he might as well admit it openly!
The tuna caught yesterday was on Shi Tian's boat, and those fish were not going to be given to Li Yunfei. While he couldn't retrieve those fish, there were plenty available on the platform! He could easily find a big fish from there to send to Li Yunfei, and that would work just as well!
Friends? Which friend was so important that he couldn't refuse? Watching Pingtou Ge's clumsy performance gave Li Yunfei a headache. Just look at Shi Tian; in the time it took to have a meal, he managed to lure Cai Li over from Sanya, and Cai Li was grateful to him. Then look at Pingtou Ge—he was falling short by a long shot!
Shi Ye's nephew—Shi Ye personally asked him to take care of this matter, so he had to give some face! He had taken them fishing for half a day yesterday, and that was acceptable enough! Today, he let them go out on their own; he was just waiting for them to return to work!
Originally, he wanted to say they were classmates or something like that, but such words wouldn't work with Li Yunfei; they would just be classified as bad company. There was no way around it; he had made too many embarrassing mistakes in the past, and Li Yunfei's stereotypical impression of his friends wouldn't change overnight!
Shi Ye's nephew? If he remembered correctly, it should be Shi Tian! Do you know him?
You know Shi Tian? Pingtou Ge didn’t expect Li Yunfei to know Shi Tian. What connection could he possibly have with him? It didn’t make sense! One was entrenched in the upper echelons of the Beijing Circle, while the other was involved in the Fishing Circle of Sanya; there was no possible connection between these two!
There was information about Shi Ye that included this name; he had seen it when reviewing Shi Ye's details a while back! Showing off with an air of mystery, Li Yunfei looked up and continued asking: Are you very familiar with Shi Tian?
Impressive! What a memory! Shi Tian wasn’t part of Shi Ye’s circle at all, yet Li Yunfei actually knew him! Moreover, he remembered him from reviewing Shi Ye’s information—such an obscure figure, and Li Yunfei recalled him so clearly?
