Chapter 1422: Hundreds of people are scary

~11 min read 2,127 words

Those bosses sent fireworks, and of course, he wouldn't refuse. He would accept as many as they sent.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he and his father bought things and went home, there was already a pile of fireworks in the open space of the courtyard, visually estimated to be at least twenty or thirty.

And behind them, there were actually people carrying fireworks in.

"Third Uncle, Adong, you're back..."

Ye Yaodong stared dumbfounded at the people behind him. They were all carrying a firework, another twenty or thirty.

"Holy crap? Did you go wholesale?"

"Hehe... isn't it because we were thinking about the boats sailing back tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Is the wholesale market enough for you to buy?"

"There's no wholesale market. The shops weren't enough to buy from, and some people ran to other places to look."

"You guys go stop them quickly, and while you're at it, return the fireworks you bought. If you lose a little money, just lose it and return them. Don't waste this money. Can I finish setting them off?"

He was speechless. There were more than 300 people here. Did everyone really buy one firework?

More than 300 fireworks, when would he finish setting them off?

Not counting special days, if he set off one every New Year, he wouldn't finish them in three lifetimes.

He was also impressed. As soon as he came back, they gave him such a big surprise.

"Ah, we already bought them, and returning them, that doesn't seem very good..."

"Return them all, return them all. I'm not buying boats for the first time. Last year when I bought boats, a bunch of people sent them, and a pile of fireworks were piled there. I was worried about when they would blow up my house directly. Later, during the New Year, I sent them everywhere, and only then did I finish setting them off."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand while speaking.

"Hurry up and return them all. If you really move more than 300 fireworks back and pile them there, can you sleep at night? Do you dare to smoke? Aren't you afraid of blowing yourselves up? I'm also impressed by you guys, that everyone actually bought one."

"Isn't it because we wanted to show our appreciation? 5 boats sailing back, it's rare..."

"Yeah, knowing that your boats are sailing back tomorrow, wouldn't it be bad if we didn't show anything..."

Ye Yaodong was speechless. He should have reminded them in the morning.

"No need to show anything, hurry up and return them. Send them back to the shops, let them deduct some money. I appreciate the thought, but there's really no need to buy so many fireworks. There's no place to pile them, and it's not safe."

"Really return them?"

"Return, return, return..."

Everyone looked at each other and muttered a few words.

"Then shall we take them to return?"

"Return them, return them, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Alright then, there are so many, it really is a safety hazard, so we'll return them."

A large group of people carried the fireworks back, and the fireworks in the open space were also claimed by everyone and taken to be returned together.

Ye Yaodong only accepted the ones sent by the people in the Chamber of Commerce later. Anyway, those people weren't short of money, and he hadn't accepted their fireworks before. Since it was the first time they sent them, he definitely had to accept.

And there were only a dozen or so, so piling them separately wasn't afraid of cigarette butts catching fire and exploding.

Ye Fu looked happily at everyone moving fireworks in and out. "Everyone is quite thoughtful."

"Isn't it because we live under the same roof? Even if we weren't familiar before, we have to show something."

"So many fireworks, they're worth a lot of money."

"A big happy event, everyone sent fireworks, so should I treat everyone to a meal? More than 300 people, then I'd have to set up thirty-something tables."

Ye Fu frowned. "It's a good thing we didn't accept them, that saves trouble."

"Yeah, saves trouble. The quantity is indeed too much. The dozen or so sent by the Chamber of Commerce are enough to set off."

Ye Fu nodded and didn't say anything more.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong got up full of energy. He was about to sail his 5 boats back. He had a good dream last night.

Everyone else was up too. It was rare for it to be windy these two days, so all the boats were resting, which happened to catch up.

It's just that there were too many people.

He only told his own workers last night to get up early and be energetic to sail the boats today. The 30-something workers he had were enough to sail 5 boats back; he didn't need others to help.

Unexpectedly, everyone wanted to go take a look...

When Ye Yaodong was eating, he heard everyone talking lively, and he was too embarrassed to stop them.

When they went out, he had to leave his two workers at home to watch the house, and the others followed him out in a large group.

Hundreds of people walking on the road was still quite spectacular.

Early in the morning, there were already many people coming and going on the road, all rushing to the market to buy vegetables. When everyone saw such a large group of them, they were all scared and hurriedly avoided to the side, then pointed and gestured.

"Such a large group of people, so scary, early in the morning..."

"Who are these people, such a large group..."

"Really scary, early in the morning, what are such a large group of people going to do..."

"Are these some gangs? The formation made early in the morning is even scarier than at night..."

"In broad daylight, these people are such a large group, too arrogant..."

More than 300 people took to the streets at the same time, occupying the street for dozens of meters. The trucks directly turned off their engines and had to park to the side to let them pass first.

"Holy crap, Ye Yaodong!"

Ye Yaodong was just feeling awkward when he heard someone calling him from above. He turned his head to look and saw the familiar person on the truck.

"Eh? What a coincidence, did you just get back?"

"Yeah, just got back and hadn't reached home yet. I was just attracted by such a big formation on the street. Damn, didn't expect it to be you."

Ye Yaodong gave an awkward laugh.

"What are you doing leading such a large group of people? Early in the morning, charging at which gang, going to occupy which territory! What kind of deep hatred early in the morning..."

"No, nothing like that. This is completely a misunderstanding. I ordered 5 boats, and they are delivered today, so I can go sail them back. Everyone is just following me to watch the fun. It just happened to be windy, everyone is at home, so they are idle and following me to watch the fun."

"Just to watch the boats?"

"Right, just to watch the boats."

The familiar person couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Making such a big formation, it turned out to be just boat delivery, going to watch a boat?

"I thought you were going to have a fight."

"No way."

"So many people on the street, it's really domineering enough!"

"Hehe, how about letting you pass first?"

"Forget it, so many people, you pass first? The street is only this wide."

"Then I'll go first, talk later."

"Alright."

Ye Yaodong didn't just meet one acquaintance; he also met several people from the Chamber of Commerce, who happened to have collected goods in the morning and were about to transport them away, or were returning after transporting goods.

Everyone recognized him walking in the front, and it made him awkward again.

Being watched by people he didn't know, he could still straighten his back and feel domineering. Being recognized by acquaintances, it was really awkward.

It was also the same tone as what the familiar person just asked, all thinking he was going to have a fight with some gang and occupy some territory, and they were all scared.

At the same time, they also had a clear understanding of his strength. He actually had so many people on hand, not bragging.

Just going to sail a few boats back, and so many people wanted to go with him.

President Ye's strength cannot be underestimated!

Ye Yaodong walked and stopped, chatted simply with people for a few words, and then hurried to walk faster.

After passing through the main street and going to the remote road, there were fewer people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his relief was premature.

Just arrived at the shipyard, hadn't even entered the door, all the workers in the factory walked out, stood at the door, staring at them fiercely, just short of immediately grabbing weapons.

He hurriedly walked to the front and said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, everyone. I'm here to sail the boats. I ordered 5 boats, and I'm here today to test the water and sail them away."

Manager Shen hadn't come over yet, but someone had already recognized him, breathed a sigh of relief, and then came out to negotiate with him. After confirming that he was here to sail the boats, he let everyone disperse and do what they should do.

"You're scary enough too. Coming to sail a boat with hundreds of people, those who don't know would think you're going to smash the factory."

"It just happened to be windy, the fishing boats all came back, so everyone was idle and followed to take a look, recognize the door, so next time they can come directly to order boats."

"You can't enter with so many people. In case something happens, I can't take the responsibility. There are too many people, you can only visit and look at the construction site outside. You can't enter inside."

"Alright, has Manager Shen come yet?"

He also knew that he brought too many people, which was too scary, and he couldn't make things difficult for others.

"Should be here soon. You said the hour of 9 o'clock, it's only 8 o'clock now. Wait for a while to push it into the water, delay a bit, it's about time to come."

"It's good that I brought so many people, there will be many people to exert force later."

"Right."

Ye Yaodong told others to take a look outside here. Too many people couldn't enter inside at once. There were also many people working on shipbuilding on the construction site covered by the rain shed outside, so let everyone stroll around first.

Most people were here for the first time and were very curious, so it didn't matter if they were inside or outside. It was fine to look outside first.

He led his father and a few brothers and friends inside to find his own boats first and see what the situation was.

Azheng couldn't help but say, "Calculated, it's still more convenient to order boats here. Look, when the boats are ready, just sail them to the pier. We still have to run home to sail them now."

Aguang retorted, "We didn't come up after the New Year this year. If we really ran up here specially, what's the difference from running back specially now."

Hearing Xiao Xiao also said, "Yeah, after getting the boats, don't we have to go home to hire workers like Dongzi? Then we have to make two trips."

Azheng touched his head, reacted, and laughed. "That's true."

Ye Yaodong asked, "Have you discussed when to go back?"

"We want to be as fast as possible. After all, delaying one day means delaying several hundred yuan. The sooner we go back, the sooner we can come up. It's best to go back tomorrow. Let's check the weather forecast for the night first."

"Then sail my new fresh-collecting boat back tomorrow. No need to struggle with taking the bus, transferring back and forth, it's too exhausting."

The three of them had their eyes lit up. This was too good.

"We wanted to say it long ago, but your boats haven't been sailed back yet, so we were thinking about it, and it was a bit embarrassing."

"No need to be embarrassed. Anyway, I have many boats, and now I'm short of manpower. The sooner you go back and bring people up, the better it is for me."
