Chapter 285: This is an iron-headed kid

~7 min read 1,335 words

Someone is curious.

"Lao Fu Tou, what salary and benefits does this handsome guy give you?"

"Can I double your treatment?"

"Are you interested in coming aboard my ship?"

"As long as you can guarantee this income, any conditions are up to you."

Someone started a commotion and joined in bidding.

A Jin laughed and scolded the shameless person: how could you, right in front of the boat owner, poach someone else's boat worker?

Lacking great virtue.

If they really get poached, wouldn't that forge a great grudge?

These people laughed it off, saying it was just a joke, never thinking they could really poach Lao Fu Tou.

They said it jokingly, but their flickering eyes clearly showed otherwise.

If they really poach the person.

Then offending people is just offending them.

Lao Fu Tou felt a bit uneasy, quickly turning his head to look at Wu An.

Wu An nodded, signaling him to stay calm.

He dares to hype up Lao Fu Tou like this, naturally not fearing others poaching Lao Fu Tou.

Lao Fu Tou's reaction also precisely confirmed his trust.

Even if we step back ten thousand steps.

If Lao Fu Tou gets poached, then let him be poached.

His words could fool outsiders, even fool Lao Fu Tou, but he couldn't fool himself into thinking the abundant catch on the boat was Lao Fu Tou's achievement.

Without Lao Fu Tou, replacing him with anyone else would yield the same harvest.

Wu An cleared his throat, ignored the commotion, and said: "My Lao Fu's salary and benefits are naturally very good."

"But these days."

"Relying on money alone can't win hearts; we must exchange sincerity for sincerity."

Everyone listened and nodded repeatedly.

That was nicely said, impossible to refute.

"Handsome guy, you're just talking nonsense; they've worked on the Chen Family fishing boat their whole life, and you've only had them work a few days."

"And still talking about exchanging sincerity for sincerity."

"Even cultivating feelings takes some time, right?"

"You couldn't have fallen in love at first sight, could you?"

Everyone laughed in commotion.

Those around Chen Baosheng also laughed along.

But as they laughed, they realized something was off: Chen Baosheng wasn't laughing, his face was dark and frightening, even showing a grimace of gritted teeth.

They quickly wiped off their smiles.

"'That's really what you said right.' Wu An briefly explained how he saved Lao Fu Tou."

Everyone listened and suddenly understood.

They had also heard of this matter, but they didn't know the parties involved were Wu An and Lao Fu Tou.

Now the internet isn't that developed; most things spread by word of mouth, and after being passed along, even the parties involved would click their tongues in amazement.?

Some people know even more.

"How come I also heard that the Chen Family refuses to save a dying person?"

"Right."

"I've heard that too, and they also deduct wages; I don't know if it's true or false."

"The parties involved are right here; just ask them and you'll know if it's true or false."

"I think there's no need to ask; an old fisherman who's worked for the Chen Family his whole life suddenly jumps ship— that's obvious."

"Damn, all are sensible people."

"This matter isn't fresh at all; you don't even need to think."

Otherwise, wouldn't that mean there are many smart people?

No need for Wu An to say anything; everyone chatted away with many voices and figured out the story.

A Jin coughed twice; at first, the few people who said the Chen Family refuses to save a dying person shrank their necks, slipped into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

"No wonder, this is having one's heart utterly hurt."

"Indeed."

"If I had worked diligently for the Chen Family my whole life and ended up like this, I could die of heartbreak."

"The Chen Family is good at making money, but they just don't know how to be human."

"They almost got someone killed at sea, yet still want to deduct wages; if it were me, I'd definitely leave."

"Good riddance."

"In that case, handsome guy, you really picked up a big bargain."

Wu An laughed heartily, feigning modesty, saying: "Picking up a bargain, picking up a bargain."

"I've always had good luck."

Everyone praised.

"That's also because you dared to save someone, which brought you later luck."

So opportunities are always left for those who are determined.

Everyone praised it nonstop.

Wu An repeatedly said he didn't deserve it, but the smile on his face indeed grew brighter and brighter.

As everyone knows the 'law of conservation of smiles,' the happier he smiled, the more naturally someone's expression would turn uglier.

Chen Baosheng wished he could stab Wu An to death!

He never expected that Wu An would let Lao Fu Tou cause a big scene and not let it go, but even wanted to step on his family's reputation.

The situation is not like that at all!

My family did not refuse to save someone in danger!

It was Wu An who took advantage of the crisis, first undermining the wall, luring Lao Fu Tou with benefits, which caused him to choose to leave my family!

He shouted in defense.

Everyone looked at him and quickly realized who he was: Chen Lao Da's son, Chen Baosheng.

The police station already took my father and many others for investigation; releasing my father in the end is the best proof that we did not refuse to save someone in danger!

It was Lao Fu Tou who forgot righteousness for profit, abandoning decades of affection for just a little money.

He pointed at Lao Fu Tou and accused him righteously.

Lao Fu Tou sighed: 'Yes, there's no evidence, indeed there's nothing we can do...'

Wu An patted Lao Fu Tou's shoulder: 'Forget it, forget it, it's all in the past; we won't stoop to their level.'

A Qing spat toward Chen Baosheng: 'Pah, disgraceful thing, still have the face to make a fuss here.'

They really treated people like fools and deceived them.

You colluded; where's the evidence? If there were evidence, you'd have been arrested long ago.

That remark actually drew nods of agreement from many present; although there's no evidence, everyone knows the Chen family definitely refused to save someone in danger!

So although Wu An letting Lao Fu Tou cause trouble was ostensibly to blacken the Chen family, it was actually justified and evidence-based!

Who let the Chen family lie first, and then exaggerate it so outrageously!

A big living person fell into the sea from the ship; how could they not know?

Saying they only noticed when they were near shore—what a lie to fool ghosts!

This is, everyone counted, almost all make a living from the sea—how easy it is to deceive them!

This kid is right.

The Chen family covers the sky with one hand; who dares not to listen to them?

The Chen family can silence the ship's workers, but they can't silence us.

How dare this kid have the face to wrangle with us here?

If I were him, I'd have long found a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Young in age, but his heart is dirty; he even turned the tables.

Chen Baosheng saw that everyone nearby was speaking up for Lao Fu Tou, and instantly his face flushed.

He truly felt wronged, bearing a great grievance, and immediately cursed: 'Damn it, fuck your mother, rely on Lin Mu, a bunch of idiots, do you have brains? Whatever they say is what it is.'

Make you eat shit, and you do eat it.

Damn damn damn!

Even the police can't handle this—what gives you the right to gossip here?

He had already lost some of his reason.

He was scolding heatedly.

Several people beside him pulled Chen Baosheng to leave.

Chen Baosheng didn't want to leave; if he left, wouldn't that show he's guilty?

He wanted to stay!

Just hold on to the end!
