In the Alpha, Baldy drove and curiously asked Zhou Jin, "Mr. Zhou, why are you being so courteous to him?"
Zhou Jin was in a great mood, appearing much more relaxed both in deanor and tone than before, and said to Baldy with a chuckle, "You've forgotten, we released a few snakehead murrels into his lake. Just look at his expression, it's clear he's discovered a decrease in fish but still puts up a front with , saying it's 'very good.' He's fooling ghosts! I want to see by the end of the year how many fish are left in that broken lake of his!"
How many fish were left in Shuijun Lake wasn't sothing Baldy knew or could find out. However, working at the reservoir lately, he unexpectedly discovered that dead fish often floated up, and not in small numbers; the whole reservoir showed signs of a decrease in yield!
Fortunately, looking at the overall situation of the reservoir, the reduction wasn't significant enough to cause a fatal impact on the fishery company. Since Zhou Jin had recently been ill and in a bad mood, and couldn't afford to get upset, Baldy thought it over and decided not to tell him for the ti being. Instead, he scattered so dicine in the lake to treat common fish diseases.
anwhile, Zhou Jin was feeling triumphant, saying, "I've already helped secure the reservoir's contract renewal, though it's going to cost quite a bit of money. At the end of the year, you guys should make a trip to the market and give a heads-up to the other major sellers, increase the price of fish by twenty percent!"
"Damn, it's really weird, how can fish be raised in a place like Shuijun Lake with such poor water quality?" griped one of the underlings.
"He must have spent a lot on water purification equipnt," Zhou Jin conjectured with a sinister smile. "Next year, I'll take over that kid's Shuijun Lake too! All the investnt he's making now is just preparing a dowry for !"
...
"Trying to trap in my own words?"
Suming drove his Wrangler through the traffic, feeling equally fantastic.
When Zhou Jin asked that question before leaving, he was obviously probing for the results of the snakehead murrel operation in Shuijun Lake.
The seven snakehead murrels had long switched sides, turned their backs on him, and were now happily gobbling up fish in the reservoir, growing plump every day. They fed and killed relentlessly, causing chaos in the reservoir, ensuring a drop in yield by the end of the year.
When Zhou Jin first asked, Suming even thought about bringing up the snakehead murrel matter just to rile up Zhou Jin. But then he thought better of it; if he did, it would simply alert Zhou Jin, allowing him to guard against it. Since he was happy indulging in his delusions, Suming decided to let him continue feeling good until the fish went to market, and then see if he could still smile.
Zhou Jin was planning to take over Shuijun Lake, but Suming was also eyeing Huating Reservoir! Relying solely on the hundred acres of water in Shuijun Lake, he could only ever engage in small-scale operations. To truly expand the aquaculture business, a vast space was essential.
It seed necessary to adjust the strategy of snakehead murrel sabotage after returning, targeting the large, sellable fish specifically, and sparing the smaller ones for the ti being.
"Su ng, switch places with !" Suming parked the car near the zoo on a dead-end street and snapped his fingers at Su ng.
"Ah ho…" Su ng, listening daily to Suming and others talk, had finally begun to diversify his vocalizations, moving beyond the initial 'ho ho' to mastering several other syllables.
Following Suming's instructions, Su ng took the driver's seat and, mimicking Suming, buckled up the seatbelt.
"If you're going to be a bodyguard, you need to learn to drive! Today, bro's gonna teach you," said Suming, patting Su ng's shoulder.
Su ng, simple-minded, would do anything Suming asked without fear. He nodded vigorously and excitedly grabbed the steering wheel, shaking it from side to side.
Seeing him like that, Suming started to regret it again, thinking to himself this is literally risking one's life to teach.
"Su ng, this... I'm entrusting my life to you, so go easy..." Suming gripped the car's handle tightly...
Before he could finish, he heard Su ng let out a battle-like roar, the Wrangler thundered, and a strong sense of pushing against his back surged, shooting the car forward...
...
By the ti they returned to the animal zoo, Suming was sweating all over, terrified.
Fortunately, after an afternoon of death-defying driving practice, Su ng finally mastered the driving skills. For one thing, automatic cars are really easy to drive, just as people say, "even a fool can drive one"; secondly, Su ng was like a blank slate now, learning anything very quickly, which was beyond Suming's expectations.
"Yo, Mr. Su, got a personal driver now!"
Nurse Hu walked over with an empty feed bucket, greeted Su ng who was in the driver's seat in a carefree manner, and without waiting for Suming's response, she opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat, patting Su ng on the shoulder, "Hey, big guy, give a lift, first back to the clinic."
Su ng glared fiercely at Nurse Hu, while Suming behind them waved weakly and said, "Drive, drive, take Hu with you."
"See, you're so petty, just burning a bit more gas! The owner himself isn't complaining, and here you are, a driver who won't lift a finger, despite being such a big guy!" Nurse Hu said to Su ng.
Su ng probably couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so since Suming had told him to drive, he just drove, silent and cold the whole way, and dropped Nurse Hu at the clinic.
Nurse Hu jumped out of the car and smiled at Suming, "Thanks Mr. Su, co in for a visit, huh."
Suming saw from the clinic's entrance a nurse inside, not sure whether it was Liao or Liao.
These two sisters have the sa effect, turning red-faced and fidgeting with excitent whenever they saw him, making him feel like an old lecher, so to avoid the awkwardness, he said, "Forget it, I have things to do, next ti."
"Alright then, I'm going inside, I'll co this weekend to settle the accounts!" Nurse Hu waved at Suming, then rolled her eyes at Su ng, "Big guy, be more generous in the future, got it?"
Without waiting for Suming or Su ng to say anything, Hu turned around with her waist swinging like a water bucket and walked into the clinic.
On the way back to Huating Reservoir, Suming kept feeling sothing was off, sowhat strange, and when they arrived at the gate, he suddenly realized, incredulously, he said to Su ng, "Say, Hu couldn't have taken a fancy to you, could she?"
Su ng looked at Suming with a blank expression, his big eyes blinking, suddenly opened his shirt, revealing his dark iron-like chest muscles, and waved his fist in the direction of the clinic.
The laws of the jungle are simple and brutal, nothing complicated like youthful love or moonlit flowers, if one animal takes a liking to another, the most common thod is to conquer directly through force.
"Don't you go causing trouble!" Suming got a shock, hoping he wouldn't end up with a rape charge before the residency was even settled.
