Chapter 1084: Promoted
"Adong just moved the fish cargo and exposed this thing, it should be fine, right? He already touched it, and nothing happened."
"That's him, we are us. Who knows if we might touch the wrong place and then—Boom! —it explodes? We're just a bunch of bumpkins, we don't know how this thing detonates."
"In the movies, don't they always have planes flying along, drop one, and it explodes the moment it hits the ground?"
Everyone couldn't stop discussing it. It was the first time they had seen the real thing with their own eyes. Once they felt that just looking at it wouldn't pose a danger of explosion, their talk increased, their courage grew, and they all wanted to get their hands on it.
Ye Yaodong stopped their eager impulses. "Better not touch it randomly. Who knows if this thing is good or bad? You were all scared to death just a moment ago, and now that you've had a close look, that should be enough. You actually want to touch it?"
Everyone chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed when they thought about their earlier panic.
"Isn't it just because it's right in front of us? We were just startled by the name 'bomb' earlier."
"Seeing that nothing has happened for so long, it should be fine if we don't touch it randomly. Anyway, looking at it won't make it explode, so there's no need to be so afraid."
"Yeah, looking at it won't make it explode. We were just scared by the name 'bomb dropped by a helicopter' earlier. Who could have imagined that we could actually fish up a bomb?"
"It really is so magical."
Ye Yaodong also rubbed his chin. "Fishermen really can fish up anything."
"Isn't that right? In just these few short months, we've really fished up quite a few odds and ends."
He chuckled inwardly. He had fished up more strange things than they could imagine; what were these past two months compared to that?
The ocean is truly magical.
"Just looking is enough. The Harvest will be here soon. In a while, you all climb over, and I'll take the boat to the shore to find the Public Security Bureau to handle it. We set out from the city directly toward the open sea this morning, so we might as well head back to the city shore as usual."
"You're going alone?"
"Right. Isn't everyone afraid? Besides, I have to consider safety issues. You all should just get on the Harvest. I'll be back in half a day or so, and I should be able to rendezvous with the Harvest again by tonight. You just stay on that boat for half a day and help out."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this time, Chen Shi spoke up, stuttering.
"I... I... I... with you... together, two... people... have... have... have a companion... can... can also... watch the boat..."
"Aren't you worried it might explode suddenly?"
It was indeed necessary to call someone to accompany him back, so that when he went ashore to find the Public Security Bureau, there would be someone to watch the boat. After all, the deck was still full of cargo.
"Don't touch... won't..."
"That works too. Then the others go to the Harvest, and you return with me."
Chen Shi nodded.
The others whispered to each other and had no objections. Anyway, there was someone to keep him company; two people going back to handle this thing and then coming back was fine.
"That works. Chen Shi will accompany you on the boat, and we'll wait over at the Harvest. Anyway, it's just a quick trip and we'll be back."
After reaching a consensus, Ye Yaodong told them to check their luggage to see if there was anything they needed to bring onto the Harvest, to prepare in advance. If not, they could just wait here.
Anyway, it was only for half a day. Everyone didn't move; their luggage consisted of just a few tattered clothes, nothing else.
Everyone continued to point at the aerial bomb and critique it, until the sound of the Harvest's diesel engine grew louder and louder, at which point they stood up and brought the two boats side by side.
Ye Fu stood on the boat, full of worry. As soon as the two boats touched, he shouted, "Dongzi, what did you fish up? Is that thing okay?"
"It's fine. We touched it once when we didn't know what it was at first, but we haven't touched it since."
"Don't touch it, don't touch it. After all, it's a missile; who knows if it's good or bad."
The others on the Harvest were also standing on the deck, leaning against the gunwale, stretching their necks to look over. Everyone was very curious about what an aerial bomb looked like.
As for the danger? Seeing that their entire boatload of people had been perfectly fine for so long, they weren't that worried.
And when the two boats were side by side, the few people on the Dongsheng climbed over; only Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi remained motionless.
"Dad, you take them to fish in this area first. I'll take this boat and prepare to return to the city to dock. It's closer to the city than the provincial capital, so I'll go directly back to the city and find the Public Security Bureau to dispose of this aerial bomb."
"Is it safe for you to do that? Why not call for rescue?"
"How much time would calling for rescue waste? By the time they arrange personnel and identify the direction to search everywhere, it'll probably be tomorrow. Anyway, it's been fine since we fished it up; if we don't touch it randomly, it should be fine."
Ye Fu frowned, full of hesitation.
"Everything was fine, why didn't you fish for fish, but fished up such a troublesome thing?"
"This sea area is so big, who knows what's in the sea or what can be fished up? Anyway, it's settled. The problem isn't big, and we won't touch it."
A-Guang was also on the side, looking at the aerial bomb with curiosity. "You only dug half of it out. Is there still half underneath that hasn't been exposed?"
"There's still a bit of the tail. I was curious just now, so I pushed the fish and shrimp covering it to the side, and then I realized there was still a little bit of the tail left. I didn't continue to move it."
"Half-hidden like this, you can't see it clearly. It's to your credit that you recognized it."
"That's because you didn't look at it up close. If you looked at it up close, you would also recognize it. The appearance of this thing is very easy to identify."
"Then be careful. We'll still wait for you in this sea area. You should remember the coordinates."
"Yeah, then I'm leaving. Taking advantage of the fact that it's still noon, I can still make it to the shore before dark."
Ye Fu hurriedly called out to stop him. "Otherwise, you climb over and stay here with A-Guang, and I'll take the boat to the shore..."
"Forget it. Who can understand your Mandarin? You just stay here. Rest assured, I'm reliable, and I'll be back soon."
Ye Fu looked at the thing resting in the pile of fish cargo. It didn't look like a threat. As long as you didn't think of it as a hot weapon, it was just a lump of iron. It shouldn't matter if you didn't touch it randomly.
"Then be careful, go early and return early. Keep your sense of direction well, don't deviate. If anything happens, contact us."
"Yeah."
Ye Yaodong waved at them and signaled Chen Shi to pull up the anchor. He used a bamboo pole to push the two boats apart and also instructed him to go back to the cabin and lie down if there was nothing to do, no need to stay on the deck and bask in the sun; there was nothing to see.
After saying this, he climbed to the wheelhouse. After identifying the direction, the sound of the fishing boat's diesel engine rang out, and with a *da-da-da*, the distance between the two boats grew wider and wider.
And the Harvest remained in place, watching. Only after they had sailed far away did it start moving again and continue working.
Ye Yaodong pushed the horsepower to the maximum, rushing at full speed. He was also an old fisherman. Although he started halfway through, he still had over a decade of experience. In such clear weather with no wind and no waves, how could he get lost at sea?
Chen Shi didn't honestly go back to the cabin to lie down, but instead climbed up to the wheelhouse, stood outside to look at the sea scenery, and occasionally came over to chat with him in his stuttering way.
It was quite tiring to listen to, but it wasn't good to dampen his enthusiasm. Ye Yaodong could only hold it in, treating it like an old lady chanting scriptures, letting him speak slowly, and just casually echoing a few words.
However, this tolerance actually made him speak more and more happily.
Ye Yaodong had a splitting headache. He didn't know when a stutterer could become a chatterbox. If he slowly stopped stuttering, what would that mouth be like in the future?
He listened painfully for half the journey, and later, unable to bear it, he drove him down and told him to go back to the cabin for a nap.
In an instant, the whole world became quiet.
He felt that listening to an old lady chanting scriptures was more comfortable than listening to Chen Shi talk. He was just afraid of hurting the other person's self-esteem; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure a single word.
After feeling comfortable, he felt time passed quickly. Looking at the sesame-sized small wooden boats drifting on the distant sea surface, he also relaxed. He would be there soon.
And at this time, the sun had already set. A small half was already blocked by the big mountain, and the rest had turned into an orange-red halo, becoming less dazzling.
"Dong... Dong... Dong brother..."
"Why are you here again?"
"Almost... there!"
"I know. Go, go, go. You prepare yourself. We'll be docking in a while. After docking, once I go ashore, I'll buy you something good to eat as our dinner."
By the way, also block your mouth.
"Okay."
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.
Just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, the child's temperament occupied a relatively large proportion.
One by one, the small wooden boats were rowing toward the shore, taking advantage of the sunset, but the speed was too slow. Their boat *whooshed* past these small boats.
Before long, they found an empty spot at the pier and docked.
At this time, the pier was bustling with noise. The surrounding fishing boats were densely packed and docked in a large group. Everyone upheld the principle of resting at sunset, and when he turned off the engine, the various noises on the shore filled their entire ears.
Ye Yaodong came out of the cockpit, went down to the deck, and said to Chen Shi, who was just dropping the anchor: "You just wait here, don't go anywhere, and don't touch the cargo on the deck. I'm going to find the Public Security Bureau."
"K... know."
When he turned his head to go ashore, he found that the surface of the fish cargo on the deck had decreased a lot.
"Did you sort it this afternoon?"
Chen Shi nodded. "Idle... idle... just... didn't... touch... that..."
"Good."
"Afraid... afraid... of sun damage, hot..."
"Yeah."
It was indeed quite hot in the middle of summer. The sun was directly exposing it, and there was no ice sprinkled on it. It would indeed not be fresh after being exposed for half a day.
Their boat, being so large, docked at the pier and attracted many people's side-glances. Moreover, seeing them leave a full deck of cargo just lying there, everyone was full of curiosity, and some bold fishermen loudly tried to strike up a conversation with them.
Ye Yaodong directly threw them a heavyweight piece of news: "Because we fished up an aerial bomb at sea, we had no choice but to rush back to find the Public Security Bureau."
"What!!!" The people around who pricked up their ears to listen all widened their eyes.
He didn't have time to care about the reactions of the people around. While they were stunned and dumbfounded, he climbed directly onto the shore. And he also left a sentence, telling them not to touch it out of curiosity, lest it explode.
This scared everyone into retreating one after another, staying away from their boat, and the entire shore also exploded.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about the reaction of the people behind him. He found a tractor on the shore, and after negotiating the price, he let the tractor driver send him directly to the Public Security Bureau.
He felt that he was not only fated with the Maritime Bureau, but also quite fated with the Public Security Bureau. He had to go to the Public Security Bureau a few times every year, even though he hadn't committed any crimes. Who goes to the Public Security Bureau if they are a decent person?
Ordinary people might not necessarily enter a Public Security Bureau once in their lifetime. Country folk, upon hearing they have to go to the Public Security Bureau, would be scared to death.
However, halfway there, he saw a familiar figure, which surprised him.
"Wait... wait, driver, stop for a second... stop for a second..."
"Director Chen... Director Chen..."
Ye Yaodong shouted at the top of his lungs while on the tractor. After jumping off the tractor, he shouted a few more times with an even louder voice, which finally made the bicycle that had already ridden dozens of meters away stop.
Director Chen stopped his bicycle, turned his head to look, and was also surprised. Without waiting for Ye Yaodong to run over, he also turned his bicycle around to meet him.
"What a coincidence. I can even meet you in the city. Why are you here?"
"I should be asking you that? Are you not at work? What day of the week is it today? Are you here to visit relatives and friends?"
Director Chen laughed heartily. "No, no, no. I've been transferred here. And, it's also your credit. Thanks to you, I've basked in your great glory."
Ye Yaodong was truly surprised this time, and even widened his eyes. "Basked in my glory and got promoted? Really or fake? Don't fool me. Where would I have such great ability? The biggest official I know is still you."
Speaking of officials, he knew he had to use honorifics. "You."
For them Southerners, speaking with honorifics was too difficult, and it was in an era when Mandarin wasn't popular. He was forcefully converting "you" into "your honor."
However, he couldn't say more than a sentence or two before he revealed his true colors again, with "you" on his lips every time.
Director Chen explained to Ye Yaodong the reason why he appeared here.
It turned out that at the beginning of the year, Ye Yaodong gave him a box of canned fish mixed with a few boxes of caviar, and then he reported it. The city had just caught the people on that cargo ship and detained them in the name of assaulting the police.
This detention also hit the mark by accident. With the people in hand, they started investigating directly from there.
And with the people detained, the cargo on the majority of the ship was of course also detained in the city. According to normal procedures, the cargo of course also had to be inspected. Comparing it with what Director Chen reported and inspecting it carefully, everything would be clear.
The valuation of the cargo on the majority of the ship was already incredible, not to mention that only a small part was salvaged at the time, and most of it drifted away. This also triggered high attention and involved a major case.
Regarding this matter, Ye Yaodong had asked two or three times before, but was only told it couldn't be said.
Now it had been investigated, and the involvement was huge. It was local official personnel, along with some superiors, colluding with state-owned factories to create it, which happened to be caught by the opposing side.
There had been turmoil and buck-passing for half a year. It was said that the matter hadn't been resolved yet, but individual relevant personnel had been given rewards and appeasement first.
"This matter is still continuing, but I was the first to be transferred to the city. It counts as a promotion. The transfer order also limits me to take office within half a month."
"Moving my whole family to the city is also quite cumbersome, and there are many things to do. I couldn't spare the time to tell you, so I just left a message for my colleagues in the original bureau. If you came to find me, let them tell you that I was transferred to the city."
"I didn't expect that we would meet here in advance. I just arrived three or four days ago."
Ye Yaodong was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this. He knew that the canned fish matter must have huge implications, not just the cargo drifting on the deck and the cargo salvaged, but there was still a large amount of cargo in the cabin.
That value must be hundreds of thousands. This was already incredible.
A car only cost tens of thousands, and the size was large. As for the ship that sank, where could it transport cars? But as for cargo, it was more valuable than several cars.
Director Chen could get promoted so quickly, it probably wasn't just luck. There must have been operation or taking sides or something. Anyway, he didn't understand things in officialdom.
But one radish, one pit. Someone must have been kicked away, or there were other arrangements, so he could be promoted.
"It doesn't matter. What's urgent for me? It must be your promotion and moving that's important. But today's luck is really good. We met halfway, so I don't have to wait for when I go to the city to see you to know."
"This is really too unexpected, too surprising. I didn't expect such a harvest, and it could bring you benefits. Congratulations, congratulations. I said that since I've known you, Director Chen has always had a full forehead and a square chin, and his whole face is glowing red. At first glance, he looks like someone with great luck. Promotion and wealth are inevitable."
"Haha, I've heard this many times. Can you say something with new ideas?"
"That's a bit difficult. I have no culture, you know. I only know a few words from the literacy class, so what I say is the truth, and the words are also the words in my cognition. Where can I speak those flowery, flattering words? I can only speak these honest ones."
Director Chen listened until his old face bloomed with laughter.
"Your honest words are more comfortable than ten of other people's flattery..."
"Are you two done... talking for so long... do you still want to use the tractor? If not, settle the fare..."
The two were talking happily on the road, but were suddenly interrupted by the tractor driver running over. The person angrily spoke a bunch of local dialect there.
After Ye Yaodong roughly understood, he hurriedly stopped the conversation.
"Sorry, met an acquaintance. We'll leave after talking for a few more words. I'll add another dime to the fare for you in a while."
Money makes the mare go. The tractor driver didn't urge him anymore.
Director Chen didn't reminisce anymore, only smiled and said: "Since you have things to do, let's reminisce next time. I've been transferred to the Ocean Bureau in the city. Let's talk when you're busy and have time."
"Ocean Bureau?"
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up. The Maritime Bureau is still managed by the Ocean Bureau. It's easy to do things when there are people in the court. With the ready-made person here, he could ask first.
"Then does an aerial bomb I fished up from the seabed belong to your management?"
"What thing?" Director Chen was surprised, thinking he had misheard.
"Aerial bomb, an air missile dropped by a fighter jet. Do I need to find the Public Security Bureau to handle it, or the Ocean Bureau, Maritime Bureau, or what bureau?"
"Aerial bomb? You salvaged an aerial bomb?"
"Yeah, salvaged at noon. It scared me when I recognized it at first. Then I hurriedly dispersed the crew, drove the boat back nearby at the first opportunity, and prepared to report it to the official, and by the way, dispose of that aerial bomb."
"We don't dare to touch this kind of thing. I don't know how long it has been soaking in the sea, good or bad. It just happened that I met you. You tell me, which department should I find?"
"The sun has set. You are also on your way home from work at this time, right? I don't know if there is anyone at this time, and I don't know how long it will take to find technical personnel?"
"I don't know which country dropped this thing, and whether there is a technical level in it. I don't know if it will be helpful for research. What do you think?"
Director Chen became serious immediately upon hearing this. "Being able to salvage an aerial bomb is a powerful thing. I'll take you back to make a phone call and say something, and arrange for technical personnel to come and handle it."
Ye Yaodong was happy. With this sentence, he could save a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, he was a person with great luck, always able to turn bad luck into good, turn danger into safety, and meet noble people when going out.
"Okay, okay, too good. This is someone sending a pillow when I'm sleepy."
"Is your boat docked at the pier now?"
"Yeah, I let a person watch it on the boat, and by the way, I also said a word at the pier just now. I guess no one dares to approach it at this time."
"Go, go, go, hurry back. It will be dark in a while."
Director Chen was even more anxious than him. Pushing the bicycle, he was about to run. He immediately pulled the person back.
Are you stupid? Still pushing and running? Wouldn't the speed be faster if you rode on it?
"Move the bicycle onto the tractor, it's faster to take the tractor."
The road surface here is flat, and the road is remote. Looking at it, there are no people, and it won't be like in the downtown area, with obstacles of stopping and going.
Director Chen also reacted immediately, pushed the bicycle forward with him, then lifted it onto the tractor, and the person also sat on it, which also facilitated their chatting.
"How did you salvage it?"
"How else could it be salvaged? Caught by a fishing net and salvaged. It was poured onto the deck with a pile of fish cargo, but it was covered by the cargo, so I didn't see it. Later, when sorting the fish cargo, I pulled it and pulled it to see it. I guess it should be left over from the war period, right?"
"This is hard to say. You have to look at what it looks like first. It's already very powerful that you can recognize it as a bomb. I'm afraid you don't know the type, it might not necessarily be an aerial bomb, and what period it was dropped, you have to call professional technical personnel to look at it, and research it to know."
"Ah, there is rust on it!!"
"Seawater is inherently easy to corrode. Let's talk after looking at it. It's very good that you didn't move it."
"That's right."
Although he felt it was quite similar to the aerial bomb he knew in his previous life, what the big boss said was what it was, no need to refute.
"Then what is Director Chen's position now? Too powerful. You are still so young, the future is promising."
"Very good at speaking, and the future is promising, hehe, transferred to Deputy Director."
"Oh my, then I didn't call wrong, still Director Chen."
"Then add a 'Deputy' word."
"No difference, adding a 'Deputy' word is not auspicious, hahaha..."
Director Chen was instantly amused by him. Adding a 'Deputy' word could actually be inauspicious.
After laughing enough, Director Chen said seriously: "At that time, someone also asked me where the things came from, saying that there should also be rewards for those who provided clues. I thought you didn't want to be involved, so I just said that when I went to the pier to buy fish, I saw someone salvage a box, and after finding it was canned fish, I bought it all."
Ye Yaodong nodded like a garlic-pounding machine. "Right, right, right, that's it."
"Hehe, after handling the matter in a while, go to my house to eat. I'll get you some city specialties to take back."
"Ah, no need, no need, too polite. We are all so familiar. After the matter is handled, I have to go directly to the boat to continue returning to the sea. It's not easy to come out once. The weather is good these two days, I have to earn back the oil money."
"Eating a meal doesn't take much effort..."
"Next time, next time there is a chance to visit the new house. I often come to the city, I am very familiar with it, not to mention there are friends waiting for me on the boat."
"Then let's talk about it later, let's handle the matter first."
"Hey..."
Ye Yaodong pondered that when he led the person to the pier in a while, he would take some fresh fish for Director Chen to take back. It was also a coincidence, luck was good, and he could actually meet him in the city and know that he was promoted.
Then isn't this relationship of his even stronger?
Promotion still has a credit of his. Thinking about it, Ye Yaodong felt beautiful in his heart.
Leaning against a big tree is good for cooling. The trunk of the big tree is of course the thicker the better, and the branches and leaves are the denser the better.
They chatted and chatted during the leisure time on the road, and talked about a lot.
Director Chen also knew that he actually had several shops in the wholesale market in the city, which surprised him.
"I only thought you were sun-dried, and then took it to the acquisition station for acquisition, so I never asked. It turns out you are so capable? Powerful, young and promising. At such a young age, you actually have so many boats and so many shops. Too capable."
"Where is there any ability? It's just getting rich through hard work. I have a relatively active brain, and I'm used to being poor. I can't bear to pour those fish away, so I thought about whether I could sell them for money after drying them. This earned a little small money, and then my luck is also a bit good."
Saying this, he also nodded heavily.
"Yeah, I am a person with good luck, and I also met you. These two years have been relatively smooth, and I can always meet noble people when I go out."
"Haha, today is really a coincidence. Since you have a shop in the city, you can also buy a small piece of land in the city, build a small house, and settle down, so it's convenient to come and go?"
"I have thought about it. It's just that I'm a newcomer, and I don't know anyone in the city, and even the language is not clear. It's all based on a dash and luck. If I buy a piece of land to build a house, I don't know if some people in the village can agree, and whether it will be taken back in the future. Some places are said to be quite xenophobic."
"What's this? Buy the land. As long as the procedures are complete, the foundation fee that should be handed over to the village is handed over, and the list is left as evidence in the future. It's not that everything is said by the village."
"Haha, that's what I thought at the time. I'm not here, and most of the time I'm at sea, and my family is not here. I thought that if I bought it, it might be occupied by some hooligans, rascals, and local snakes. At that time, I would call heaven and heaven wouldn't answer, call earth and earth wouldn't answer, and the money would all drift away. After all, this world is still quite chaotic, not so peaceful."
"Then you dare to buy the shop..."
"That shop is a shop. The shop is different. The shop in the wholesale market has special management personnel, and we still have to pay a management fee. If it's a shop house on the street, I still have to consider it."
"That's true."
Ye Yaodong smiled and tentatively said: "But it's different now. You have been transferred here. With an acquaintance, of course I dare to buy a piece of land to build a house, so it's convenient to come here occasionally to stay, and also to see you. Otherwise, I can only come and go in a hurry like today."
Director Chen nodded and smiled and said: "It's really convenient to have people you know. Although the management has been stricter in the past two years, there are still many rascals and hooligans, and killing people is also a common thing. Some alleys can be seen early in the morning. Being careful is not wrong."
"It is indeed necessary to have an acquaintance to help look at it occasionally and give some care. You look at when you want to settle down in the city and tell me, I will also go to recognize the door."
"Okay, I have to go to recognize the door first. I don't know where Director Chen's new home is. I also have to take time to visit. My own home is not in a hurry. I will ponder where to settle down when I am free later."
Ye Yaodong was extremely happy. He didn't expect this trip to have this harvest. This time, he really hugged a thick thigh, and he could rest assured to buy land and shops in the city.
May Director Chen be promoted step by step, and the official position be bigger and bigger!
He prayed happily in his heart, this is sincere.
"Going to my house is not simple, it's just that you are not free. I welcome you whenever you are free."
Director Chen is now more and more satisfied with Ye Yaodong. This young man is too promising, and it makes him more and more surprised. He had already overestimated him, but he didn't expect to underestimate him.
Such an enterprising and capable young man, who is close to him and knows how to be interesting and polite, who doesn't like it? And he watched him grow up and watched him become promising.
Not to mention that he can bring him good luck.
"Okay, definitely go, wait until this trip to sea fishing is finished first."
"Diligent, young people must be diligent."
Hehehe, the smile on Ye Yaodong's face couldn't stop, and he didn't know his background, so he could always praise him for being diligent, hahaha~
But it's not wrong, he is indeed diligent now, and making money is also addictive.
Watching his wealth accumulate more and more, and his career rising step by step, it's also quite addictive.
Recalling the confused state before, he now wants to give himself two slaps.
"Is it almost there? I see the national flag and the ocean flag inserted there."
"Right, right, arrived. It was originally not far from the pier."
"Oh my, then I was slaughtered? Told me it would cost three dimes for the fare! I thought how far it was? After all, it only costs three dimes to go back and forth to the wholesale market, and just now I said I would add another dime to him!! I go, treated as a pig and slaughtered, a big head. This local really bullies us outsiders who are honest."
Director Chen was also speechless. "A dime is enough."
"Forget it, it's rare to meet you on the road today, happy. If slaughtered, let it be slaughtered."
"There is no way, you don't know the way, and the agreed price is not easy to change. You can only admit defeat, grow a memory, and you won't next time."
"Just now I was also anxious, thinking about finding a place before the sun sets." ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
