Chapter 623: Enjoying Life

Wu An first read the message sent by Chen Zhuren.

Zhenzhongcun's efficiency is quite fast; it has already completed the integration of land resources, on the condition that Wu An establishes a company, with the village taking at least a forty percent stake.

Mai Hangyu is also contacting him; Lawyer Chang Ji arrived yesterday, learned that Wu An is already home, and told him to come to Zhenzhongcun as soon as possible.

Wu An sent messages separately, arranging to meet in an hour.

Manager Wang also invited him to the shipyard to take a look, but Wu An did not reply.

When does he have any free time now?

Then Liang Rong asked if he had gotten any good goods; he replied "not yet." Liang Rong seemed very idle and immediately sent a message saying that after a while, once his current tasks are done, he'll find him to hang out.

Wu An naturally agreed at once, saying that he could take him out to sea later, just simple fishing, no other entertainment.

Liang Rong was pleased, noting that he eats a lot of meat, and occasional vegetables are also fine.

Next came Gao Qiangqi's transfer.

It was the money from this haul.

Still not bad.

Knife sardines took the bulk, because they were fresh and large, they were very popular, and the price was impressive, reaching 666 per jin.

Wu An was quite surprised.

Gao Qiangqi said that sea knife fish cost this price; if it were river knife fish, even the cheapest would be over a thousand yuan per jin, all sold individually.

Wu An realized, yes, the Yangtze River basin now has a several‑month fishing ban just like here, and in the future there will be a total ban.

Back then, knife fish were even more outrageously expensive.

Note.

Not wild.

But the price of artificially cultivated knife fish!

Ordinary people can't afford it; even so, once knife fish hit the market, they are snapped up.

They really are delicious.

He kept several jin at home; in short, the house will never run out, and when you want to eat them, just go to the sea and scoop them up.

Having received the money.

He immediately transferred it to everyone.

A Qing got 70,000; Lao Fu Tou and Mei Wu each got 35,000; Fu Yongning and the Fan family brothers each transferred 7,000. Since the Trawler operation, this haul's income was the smallest.

But the harvest wasn't small.

Some things cannot be measured solely with money.

Wu An posted in the group that the sailing time was tentative, telling everyone to rest well.

Everyone in the group sent messages asking how he was.

Wu An chatted briefly with everyone, closed QQ, found Yu Kai Lang's phone number and called.

Yu Kai Lang answered quickly.

Wu An greeted him and invited him and Liu Long to lunch.

Yu Kai Lang agreed at once.

He hung up and gulped down the porridge in the bowl in one go.

Mei Yueqin: "Everyone's sick; just rest at home for a day."

Father was also there and said, "Drink the porridge first; I'll serve you another bowl."

He said that and got up.

Gu Anran said, "Uncle, let me do it."

Father shook his head, "I'll go serve the porridge as well; meanwhile, you sit and eat."

Wu An put down his phone, grabbed a bun and bit into it; Gu Anran added pickled vegetables onto the bun for him, and the bite was incredibly fragrant.

Especially being cared for by the whole family, it felt very comfortable.

If, before, when he was driven out of the house to the old residence, such things were unimaginable.

Later, when he first returned home, he was still a bit unaccustomed.

He was startled by the favor.

But now he's gotten used to it.

He's the pillar of the household, so this treatment is reasonable, right?

Anyway, in his previous life he watched short videos and couldn't stand those "male suffering for entertainment" clips; he was the household's pillar, bearing all the family's responsibilities, yet at home he was summoned and scolded, while the family dog seemed more comfortable than he was.

At that time Wu An was baffled, looking like an "elder on the subway staring at his phone," wondering how someone who seemed to be doing so well could have a life harder than his.

What was the point?

Just to be used as a beast of burden?

Now Wu An peacefully enjoys all this.

Look at that.

Father has already served the porridge.

Wu An took a sip, sss—, it was scalding.

Wu Yingwei said, "It's just out of the pot; the bowl you just had was perfectly placed by Anran."

Wu An: "Dad, you need to learn this in the future."

Wu Yingwei glared, "Mei Yueqin, where's the house broom?"

Mei Yueqin said nothing.

Wu An: "Dad, it's in the corner."

Wu Yingwei drank the porridge in one gulp, put down the bowl, and said: "Going to work."

He finished speaking.

He got on his bike and left.

After Father left, Mei Yueqin said unhappily: "A An, Dad went to the trouble of serving you porridge, can't you give him some face?"

Wu An chuckled and said: "I find it amusing."

Father looks stern and unsmiling, but actually his thoughts are also meticulous.

Just that.

Putting on a serious front for too long, he forgot his own nature.

He is actually helping Father thicken his skin, under the pretense of "releasing his nature."

After finishing the porridge.

He and Gu Anran drove out.

First he dropped Gu Anran off at the milk tea shop, then he himself drove straight to Zhenzhongcun.

Arriving at the Village Committee, Chen Zhuren and others clapped and cheered, welcoming the hero back.

Wu An sat down openly.

Chang Ji and Mai Hangyu sat on either side of him; Chang Ji quietly greeted him, calling him "Little Wu Boss"; Wu An nodded; Chen Zhuren sat opposite.

Wu An glanced at the contract and said: "The share ratio needs to be changed."

Chen Zhuren immediately became anxious: "This forty percent..."

Wu An cut him off, saying: "That's definitely not possible; I'll give the village forty-nine percent!"

"No..." Chen Zhuren opened his mouth instinctively to oppose, saying: "Ah? A An, you mean give an additional nine percent?"

Wu An nodded.

"I have only one demand: in the tourist town project, I have absolute authority."

"This... no problem." Chen Zhuren looked left and right, then immediately hammered the decision: "A An, we're not outsiders, so I'll just ask directly: why?"

Wu An smiled: "It's true that in business we talk business, but I also told the superiors earlier that I could start a business anywhere; why must I come back?"

"Why choose Zhenzhongcun?"

"Because I think this land is worth it!"

"Giving forty-nine percent shares is its proper value."

These words were spoken righteously.

Wu An himself felt a bit moved by his own words; regardless of whether he believed them, Chen Zhuren and everyone else believed.

"Pa pa pa."

The meeting room thundered with applause.

"Well said."

"A An really is this; we didn't misjudge him."

"We will fully support!"

"We will absolutely not hold you back."

Everyone also chimed in with guarantees.

The atmosphere was very heated.

Chang Ji was somewhat surprised, but also professionally revised the contract and printed it out.

Both parties confirmed no errors.

Signing.

With this contract, Zhenzhongcun can also go to the town or even the county to apply for funds, to repair the village appearance and some basic facilities.

These are all written in the contract.

Actually, besides the land, this also counts as an investment for Zhenzhongcun; of course, over the long term, the benefits still belong to the village.

Wu An politely declined the request to stay for lunch in the village at noon, saying he was still ill, on an IV drip and couldn't drink water, and fully delegated authority to Mai Hangyu to represent him.

Leaving the Village Committee.

Mai Hangyu finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why do you want to give the village so many shares?"
