Chapter 218 We agreed to go diving together
"System, ask the fishing boats if there are any other people around here who need help like him."
[System inquiry in progress... The fishing boat says it needs to inquire and asks to come back in a day.]
Goodness, you can do that?
Zhou Miao assumed the fishing boat would answer questions if they knew the answers and refuse if they didn't, but he was surprised that they would take the initiative. That's a good thing.
He immediately felt that the reward was pretty good, and that he could not only complete tasks in the future, but also inquire about information about the fish school.
Whether you can make money by the sea depends most importantly on information about the fishing season.
Since there was no way to go diving today, Zhou Miao decided to return to port and rest for a day.
Back at the fish raft, Lu Xiaoxiao was already up. She was surprised to see him and asked, "Brother Miao, aren't you going out to sea today?"
"Well, we're not going out to sea. Luo Hao and the others might not come today, so I'll stay and help out."
Currently, the fish raft business is too busy for Lu Xingyu and his sister, plus one employee, Zheng Xiaojia.
But this will only last for a short time. Business on the fishing rafts will decline after the weather gets cold. Secondly, with the opening of the food stalls, we will only need one person to pick up and drop off customers, take care of the children, and serve customers fishing. So we don't need to hire any extra people. The three of us can handle it all.
When doing business, it's important to save on labor costs where possible, since Lu Xingyu and Lu Xiaoxiao are also paid salaries.
Of the five of them, only Zhou Miao is not receiving a salary.
This is also why he rarely stays on the fishing rafts and instead spends his time adrift at sea.
Zhou Miao bought some breakfast and on his way back, he took a boat to visit the Tingtao Fishing Raft.
Luo Hao has arrived, and Master Sun is leading the workers in building the wooden house.
Upon seeing him, Luo Hao immediately waved to him.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Miao steered his boat to the edge of the fish raft.
Luo Hao asked, "We were focused on the iron box yesterday, and it was only after we got home and talked to our older cousins that we suddenly remembered the shipwreck."
"Didn't you say this metal box was found inside a shipwreck? Did you find the remains of my uncle and grandfather inside?"
"My grandmother, my aunt, and my cousins all hope to find their remains and bring them back."
After hearing this, Zhou Miao had a sudden thought. If he could take Luo Hao diving with him and then accidentally discover his uncle's remains, that would seem even better, saving him the trouble of explaining.
After all, there were two pieces of evidence left on his uncle's remains. It wouldn't be good to destroy the scene rashly. It was still necessary to let Luo Hao discover them before calling the police.
So he shook his head: "You have no idea how terrifying it is inside that shipwreck, it's pitch black. I brought the metal box up as soon as I found it, but I didn't search it thoroughly. Why don't you come diving with me to look for it?"
"Having someone with you gives you courage!"
Luo Hao's face stiffened. The thought of going to the sunken ship to find the bodies sent chills down his spine.
But this is his own family matter, and there's no reason for him not to let Zhou Miao go.
Thinking of his uncle and grandfather, Luo Hao took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll go buy the diving equipment today, and we'll set off together tomorrow."
"Then come find me tomorrow." Zhou Miao nodded in agreement, as he also needed to go there tomorrow to receive another intelligence report.
Back at the Xuan Gui Fishing Raft, it was already eight o'clock. After having breakfast, he started to get busy.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhou Miao suddenly discovered that a construction team had arrived at the south side of his fish raft and was dragging the already erected fish raft frame over there to secure it.
This scene also caught the attention of Lu Xingyu and his sister.
"Ah Miao, judging from this, it seems someone has invested in another fish farm, and it's located right next to us?" Lu Xingyu said, frowning.
"My Fish Raft Will Ask for Help": It has received rave reviews and overwhelming praise!
The fish rafts are located right next to them; they are their most direct competitors!
"It seems so." Zhou Miao nodded, not taking it too seriously.
Opening a fish raft shop is simple, but running it well is another matter entirely.
However, when a pretty figure slowly drove a brand-new speedboat to the construction team, Zhou Miao and the others were all dumbfounded.
The man spoke a few words to the construction team, then turned around, smiled when he saw them, and steered his boat closer.
Hi everyone, long time no see!
Lu Xiaoxiao looked wary and immediately grabbed Zhou Miao's arm to assert her ownership.
Lu Xingyu asked incredulously, "Yunxi, is this fish raft yours?"
Zhou Miao's expression was somewhat complicated. He thought that after that chance encounter in Shandong, the two of them would hardly have the chance to meet again. But just a few days later, she came here to run a fish raft.
With her beauty and the fans she's built up over the years, as long as she provides excellent service, the fish raft business is sure to be successful once it opens.
Upon hearing Lu Xingyu's question, Pei Yunxi playfully replied, "Guess!"
"..." Lu Xingyu wanted to roll her eyes, but thinking about the ambiguous relationship between her and Zhou Miao, she remained silent, wanting to know his reaction.
But what could Zhou Miao's reaction be? He patted Lu Xiaoxiao's head to reassure her.
After having her and Luo Qianqian, Zhou Miao had actually settled down.
Now that he's calmed down, Zhou Miao will naturally stay away from trouble.
"Senior, don't you have anything you want to ask?" Pei Yunxi looked at him, her lips slightly pouting, seemingly dissatisfied with his indifference.
"What's there to ask? Anyone can open a fish raft. I'll send you two flower baskets when you open." Zhou Miao smiled gently, maintaining a certain distance.
Pei Yunxi glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was clinging tightly to him, and sighed inwardly.
She often regretted one thing: if she hadn't left back then, but had instead clung to Zhou Miao, would she have a place next to him?
But despite her thoughts, Pei Yunxi knew she couldn't do such a thing.
I'm not coming back now to throw myself into your arms.
Besides proving her excellence to him, Pei Yunxi was actually still confused about her specific plans.
But seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, she instinctively explained, "I don't plan to open a fish raft; I'm planning to open a floating guesthouse."
"After all, there are many fish rafts here, but no one is running guesthouses right now."
Zhou Miao was a little surprised after hearing this, but after realizing what was going on, she nodded in praise: "Great idea. My plan is also to open a bed and breakfast, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it."
"Really? Then it seems this deal is only going to be a bargain for me for now," Pei Yunxi said with a smile, her eyes crinkling.
"I can't keep all the business to myself, and I might still have business even if I open a bed and breakfast later."
"Haha, that's true. It's been so long since we've all seen each other. I'm treating everyone to lunch, would you like to join us?"
"And Qianqian, invite her too."
After Pei Yunxi finished speaking, she saw that Lu Xiaoxiao was still staring at her as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and she couldn't help but find it amusing.
He walked onto the fishing raft, pinched her cheek, and teased, "Xiaoxiao, don't be so nervous. I've thought it through. I won't compete with you for your man."
Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes when she heard this. You think you can just say you won't steal it?
Your presence is the biggest danger, isn't it?
But she didn't say these words out loud. After all, they were once good friends who went shopping together, even if they hadn't known each other for very long.
