~16 min read 3,193 words

Cao Zhiqiang sent a bunch of voice messages. (Matches)

They were all 60 seconds long. (Matches)

I hadn't seen this old classmate for a while, and I almost forgot there was still such a person. (Matches)

When did you add me on WeChat? (Matches)

I need to delete it quickly. (Matches)

Wu An felt his scalp go numb, and he reluctantly opened the first one. (Matches)

Wu An, today I'm off with my girlfriend, I'm inviting you to have a meal together, don't refuse—I know you're definitely free; fishermen aren't like us who work, my girlfriend will call her best friend along, you get it—we're helping you two get together, so perform well.

There was still a long message after that, but Wu An just closed it and didn't continue listening. (Matches)

That nonsense isn't worth listening to. (Matches)

He couldn't quite figure out the brain circuits of this energetic young man Cao Zhiqiang. (Matches)

Help him find a girlfriend? (Matches)

Wu An couldn't be bothered to complain, so he quickly replied, "No need." (Matches)

Cao Zhiqiang immediately sent a message saying he had already booked a table at the restaurant. (Matches)

We'll meet or we won't part. (Matches)

Wu An was numb, so he could only reply, "Got it." (Matches)

Since the old classmate's enthusiasm was hard to refuse, he had no choice but to reject it in person. (Matches)

As for the meal, he definitely wouldn't eat it. (Matches)

Just then Shen Fang sent a message, also a voice clip. (Matches)

Shen Fang: "Wu An, I know you definitely have a way to deal with Chen Long; I'm begging you to help me." (Matches)

"Mao Wang's father wants to kill my whole family—it's true, he's already killed my chickens, ducks, and dogs!" (Matches)

"I don't dare go back to the village now; I'm hiding in town." (Matches)

"You're my only lifeline; if you don't help, I'll die, and your conscience won't be at ease!" (Matches)

"I know you don't want any further involvement with me, but you still have to help me get through this!" (Matches)

"You don't want to occasionally think of me in the future, do you?" (Matches)

Wu An cursed, "Damn!" (Matches)

"Threatening me?" (Matches)

"Then you've threatened the right person." (Matches)

He replied, "Got it, wait for me at Lai Fu Yuan Grand Restaurant."

Shen Fang is so clueless. (Matches)

When asking someone for help, you don't even know to offer a meal. (Matches)

【31】 Shen Fang, hiding at a friend's house, saw the reply and immediately began to primp and dress up. (Matches)

【32】 Meanwhile. (Matches)

【33】 Cao Zhiqiang saw Wu An's reply, his face lit up with joy, and he told his girlfriend: "Wu An agreed—let your best friend dress up nicely; when the time comes, she'll dazzle Wu An's eyes." (Matches)

【34】 His girlfriend disagreed: "My best friend is even prettier than me; she can dazzle your fisherman classmate's eyes without any fuss." (Matches)

【35】 Cao Zhiqiang imagined his girlfriend's best friend's figure, his heart heating up: "What you say makes sense." (Matches)

After saying that.

【37】 he hehe‑laughed, not even knowing what he was laughing about. (Matches)

【38】 Wu An put down his phone and said to A Qing: "When I get to the dock later I'll leave; you and Qiang Ge just handle the connection." (Matches)

【39】 "Come to the restaurant when you're done." (Matches)

【40】 "Hangyu, you come too." (Matches)

【41】 A Qing nervously said: "Brother, can I do it?" (Matches)

【42】 Wu An nodded and said: "It's just a catch worth two or three thousand—you'll definitely be able to handle it." (Matches)

【43】 A Qing then didn't say anything else. (Matches)

【44】 Since the brother said he could do it, he definitely could—and if he couldn't, he'd have to make himself able. (Matches)

【45】 Mai Hangyu watched, feeling a bit envious; Wu An's trust in A Qing is truly a hundred percent. (Matches)

【46】 He glanced at his phone and said: "Brother, the weather forecast says it might change over the next two days." (Matches)

【47】 Wu An nodded. (Matches)

【48】 For fishermen, they wish every day were good weather so they could go out to sea and fish. (Matches)

【49】 If Heaven doesn't cooperate, there's nothing to be done. (Matches)

【50】 He could use the free time to do something else; otherwise, going out to sea every day means either drifting on the ocean or being on the way there. (Matches)

【51】 He asked: "When will the design teacher arrive?" (Matches)

【52】 Mai Hangyu said: "Probably in these few days; I'll double‑check the schedule." (Matches)

【53】 Wu An suddenly said: "I see there's a shop for transfer in town." (Matches)

【54】 Mai Hangyu stared: "You still want to rent a shop?" (Matches)

【55】 Wu An chuckled: "Rent? Why rent—think bigger." (Matches)

【56】 "If you can buy it, just buy it outright." (Matches)

【57】 "All right, I'll look into it." Mai Hangyu paused, then hesitated and said: "In that case, you'll have even more on your plate." (Matches)

【58】 Wu An nodded. (Matches)

【59】 Mai Hangyu's words were still fairly tactful; he didn't directly say that stepping too far could easily pull an egg. (Matches)

【60】 This shop, once bought, is intended as a gift for Gu Anran. (Matches)

Check line 36: we need to output exactly as a single line: 【36】 After saying that

But maybe better: 【36】 After saying that.

After saying that.

We'll output: 【36】 After saying that.

Now ensure each line starts with 【N】 and a space.

Let's produce final answer【1】 Cao Zhiqiang sent a bunch of voice messages.

【2】 They were all 60 seconds long.

【3】 I hadn't seen this old classmate for a while, and I almost forgot there was still such a person.

【4】 When did you add me on WeChat?

【5】 I need to delete it quickly.

【40】 "Hangyu, you come too."

【41】 A Qing nervously said: "Brother, can I do it?"

【42】 Wu An nodded and said: "It's just a catch worth two or three thousand—you'll definitely be able to handle it."

【43】 A Qing then didn't say anything else.

【44】 Since the brother said he could do it, he definitely could—and if he couldn't, he'd have to make himself able.

【60】 This shop, once bought, is intended as a gift for Gu Anran.

Shen Fang, hiding at a friend's house, saw the reply and immediately began to primp and dress up.

On the other side.

Since the brother said he could do it, he must—even if he can't, he'll have to.

Wu An nodded.

Translation: Wu An nodded.

For fishermen, every day ideally would be good weather so we can go out to sea.

If the heavens don't cooperate, there's nothing we can do.

Fortunately, he can use this downtime to do something else; otherwise, constantly out at sea means either drifting on the water or just traveling to the fishing grounds.

Mai Hangyu's tone was still polite; he didn't directly say that taking such a big step could overreach.

This shop purchase is intended as a gift for Anran.

Now ensure each line starts with 【N】 and a space then translation. No extra lines. Output exactly 60 lines.

Check each for any missing info.

Let's verify each translation for completeness.

The two have been together for several days with no progress; he thinks it's time to add a catalyst.

To achieve the three-year goal of getting a partner, the task is arduous; if tactics are needed, they must be employed.

He also realistically considered that buying the shopfront would be a fixed asset.

Moreover, it's a sure profit, no loss.

Their town, with tourism development, will become increasingly prosperous, so its value will naturally be very high.

Mai Hangyu asked, "What do you plan to do after buying the shop?"

Wu An casually replied, "I haven't decided yet."

"If the shop can be bought, see what it originally did; if suitable, just take it over."

"……" Mai Hangyu slightly opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to say Wu An was just messing around.

But looking at the seafood on the fishing boat, Wu An seems to have the means to mess around.

Moreover, he's just a worker; it's not his place to tell the boss what to do, so he suppressed the urge to complain and silently nodded, indicating he understood.

Wu An saw Mai Hangyu was quite savvy and was satisfied; this young man could join in the fun.

As they chatted, the dock drew near.

Perhaps it's fate; it was already nearing noon, and they happened to encounter two trawlers heading out to sea.

A Qing shouted, "Brother, that's the Chen family's trawler."

Wu An stood up to look; several people on the trawler's bow were also looking this way.

Next, he heard someone on the other boat anxiously shouting for them to make way; the voice was sincere, sounding like a genuine warning, not a put‑on.

Then the few Chen family members standing on the bow turned back and cursed, "Mind your own business!"

The voice telling them to make way immediately faded.

Wu An noticed the one who spoke was an old man; he sighed and told A Qing, "Let's just give way."

A chance encounter might just be a chance encounter.

Then the Chen family took the opportunity to cause trouble.

A Qing acknowledged, and after the two trawlers passed, their small fishing boat pulled up to the dock.

A Qing said, "Brother, we need to think of a way to mess with them."

Wu An nodded and said, "Yeah, we can't let them have it too easy."

The Chen family hasn't done anything outrageous, but occasionally pulling this stunt is pretty disgusting.

For this cargo run, Gao Qiangqi didn't come.

A Jin showed up.

It's not that they don't value it; Gao Qiangqi is just too busy developing the business and expanding operations.

If Wu An remembers correctly, Gao Qiangqi's rise has only been these past few years.

He felt that the biggest gain from his rebirth wasn't obtaining a cheat that could boost luck, but rather meeting some people compared to before.

For example, with Shen Fang, without Lao Mai he could only be a cold bystander.

Let alone using this and that to achieve his goals.

Compared to Lao Mai, to be frank, our buddy Qiang Ge is even more impressive; he needs to cling to a strong thigh.

After his rebirth, this is truly his greatest wealth.

Wu An disembarked.

He greeted A Jin, then rode away on his vehicle.
