Chapter 219: Chapter 175 Director Chen, about that police dog matter...

After returning to the hotel,

Hou Liansheng handed over all the purchased items to the designated personnel.

Two younger brothers were responsible for unloading the goods with a few assistants from the kitchen, while Hou Liansheng joined the head chef in the stairwell for a smoke.

Under the dim lighting, the narrow stairwell seemed like a corner forgotten by time, exuding a sense of tranquility and privacy.

The two men leaned on the old cement handrails, their figures slightly blurred by the swirling smoke, yet exhibiting an indescribable sense of understanding and relaxation.

"The goods today are all good as usual, but what’s with that sailfish?"

The head chef couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

Sailfish is popular for its delicious, delicate meat and is suitable for various cooking methods.

He indeed knew several recipes.

However, sailfish was rarely seen around their place.

Sailfish, a large and fast fish in the ocean, is famous for its strength and speed, making its capture a highly challenging activity that usually requires specialized skills and equipment.

Moreover, sailfish mainly inhabit the more southern waters, which were rarely encountered in their area.

"I saw it at a village stall and just picked it up on a whim,"

said Hou Liansheng, not elaborating much on the sailfish.

He definitely couldn’t explicitly mention taking care of an old classmate.

The head chef, hearing this, didn’t ask further.

Instead, he contently tilted his head back, enjoying the fine cigarette Hou Liansheng had handed him.

After a while,

seeing the chef enjoying his smoke, Hou Liansheng couldn’t help but ask, "Old fifth, you’re well-connected. Could you ask around if there’s any newly appointed village official called Chen Yun in the surrounding fishing villages?"

The head chef paused for a moment.

Then, somewhat resignedly looking at Hou Liansheng, he complained, "Alright, alright, I knew your Zhonghua cigarettes weren’t for nothing. I’ll ask around after I’m done today."

When it came to networking, he indeed had some connections.

Their hotel, being one of the largest in Qixi City, and he, being the head chef and a shareholder, had seen many of Qixi City’s dignitaries and had several of their contacts.

This little inquiry by Hou Liansheng was hardly an issue.

"Okay, thanks, Old fifth,"

Hou Liansheng said with a smile, hooking his arm around the chef’s shoulder, showing a face full of gratitude.

The inquiry wasn’t for doing anything bad; he was not the type to be jealous of a brother driving a Land Rover.

In fact, he was even willing to help out those friends he felt were not doing well.

After all, this era was about having more friends for more opportunities.

Otherwise, how could he have managed to become the procurement manager of such a top hotel before thirty, if not for having many friends?

If the investigation showed Chen Yun was not doing well as he expected, he wouldn’t look down on him; he might even look after him from time to time as a long-term investment.

If it turned out that Chen Yun was doing better than he thought, perhaps already becoming the decisive village official in that fishing village,

then the sociable him naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to foster a bond with an old friend, which was precisely his approach to personal relations.

It wasn’t about brown-nosing; at least he had to be familiar.

If he needed to ask for a favor in the future, it would be much easier to approach him.

Otherwise, if they weren’t even acquainted.

Why would the other party bother with him?

Proper social interaction and communication are the prerequisites for developing connections.

Once they became acquainted, he could even brazenly ask, "Director Chen, about that police dog position..."

Of course,

he wasn’t so ambitious as to actually aspire to be a police dog, and it was highly unlikely that Chen Yun could have climbed to the rank of director at a young age.

But the principle remained the same.

If there was a chance to foster connections, one shouldn’t miss that opportunity.

If there was an opportunity, why not cling to the coattails of an old classmate?

Wouldn’t you do the same?

If anyone who claimed they wouldn’t cling to powerful figures encountered such an opportunity, they’d probably react like some guys who say they aren’t interested in women but would do anything if they met a superstar.

In any case, Hou Liansheng, who considered himself quite realistic, felt

this was not a bit disgraceful!

··························

Seaside fishing village·Zhengjia Village.

The market, which started at five in the morning, was basically over by noon.

The fishmongers’ stalls, once filled with various types of seafood like fish and crabs, now had little left, just a few pieces still glinting on the ice.

They were either washing down their stalls with hoses or tidying up their fishing nets and weights, preparing to move the unsold seafood into refrigerated containers for preservation until the next day.

The air was still faintly tinged with the salty dampness of seawater and the fishy smell.

As the last whispers of transactions faded, the market gradually returned to its usual appearance, the vacated stone roads shimmering faintly under the afternoon sun.

Because of the typhoon, many villagers’ marine products, despite having been prepared with protective measures, inevitably suffered some losses.

Thus, the market was busier today than before, both because the closed fishing season in May was approaching and the vendors were eager to stock up as well as due to the government coordinating many people to come and accelerate the recovery from the typhoon damage.

Chen Yun, with a sense of novelty, had completed his first participation in this market he had never attended before.

It must be said that such an event was quite interesting.

Although he had grown up in Jiangnan Province since he was little, Chen Yun could genuinely say he had never experienced the daily life of a coastal fishing village like this.

Although the surroundings were quite smelly.

Yet, it felt very novel.

Just like last night when he went into the sea for the second time and couldn’t resist swimming hundreds of kilometers.

Novelty was the most attractive thing.

He thought.

This was perhaps one of the greatest joys of becoming extraordinary.

He had enough capability to go around and experience lives he had never experienced.

Not everyone had enough time or money to travel leisurely, but his gradually evolving body gave Chen Yun just such confidence.

To seize the moon in the ninth sky, to capture turtles in the five oceans.

It wasn’t just talk for him, but a tangible part of life he could genuinely experience.

At the very least, capturing turtles in the five oceans was something he could now actually do, and he was indeed doing so.

Although not really capturing turtles, he exercised in the sea every day, capable of swimming incredibly fast and covering hundreds of kilometers.

He even planned to swim back and forth between Hua Country and Japan in the future.

Only this level of activity could truly be called exerting the body.

Could running that doesn’t cross continents even be called running? Could swimming that doesn’t cross oceans even be called swimming?

As for seizing the moon in the ninth sky.

That was still a small goal of his, seemingly hard to achieve in the short term.

After all, he still couldn’t even fly right now.

Though Chen Yun had always wanted the ability to fly and had not yet managed it.

But Chen Yun knew deep down that he would eventually have the opportunity to seize the moon in the ninth sky; he believed that his endless evolution would surely surprise him.

In the future, he should be able to fly. And fly very high!

He had such confidence!

Thinking this,

Chen Yun, without concern for Zheng Dalai who was busy clearing up the stands, went straight home.

He went to the courier station and picked up a portion of snake meat that had been requested from a nearby snake farming base daily, then Chen Yun returned home and turned on the gas stove.

It was noon, time for lunch.

Chen Yun quickly sliced the snake meat and stir-fried it with green peppers.

Under the stimulation of hot oil, the fresh scent of green peppers dispersed first, which was a refreshing scent with a hint of spiciness that invigorated the senses.

Then, the unique fresh aroma of snake meat gradually fused into the air, bringing an indescribably wild fragrance, slightly deep with a subtle sweetness.

It was much tastier than the improperly sun-dried snake meat he had eaten the day before.

After finishing the meal,

Chen Yun, using the afternoon, began following his short-term plan to train his Transparent World.

He came back to Jiangnan Province to train, so naturally, he stuck precisely to the planned training regimen.

Thinking this, Chen Yun turned on his Transparent World at full power.

...

Thus passed the entire afternoon.

At over seven in the evening.

While training his Transparent World, nearly mastering the translation of a radio program, Chen Yun left a note on the living room table saying he’d be back in a few days and then quietly left his home.

The ocean world was boundless.

His exploration last night and early morning had only vaguely touched upon a negligible area.

There was a much vaster and broader seabed world waiting for him.

So this time, Chen Yun, without hesitation, moved his "entered the sea at nine" plan forward, dedicating his leisure time also to sea training.

He truly could not wait.

As with the previous arrangement, he went to the grove, collected his items, and then, naked, jumped into the sea from the shore.

This time he headed east again.

He didn’t intend to linger long at the Lvsi Fishing Ground.

After all, training always came first for Chen Yun.

So, he had high demands for deeper waters.

The Lvsi Fishing Ground was too close to the continent and generally too shallow.

At least places like the Grand Sand Fishing Ground, with an average depth of over 40 meters, were slightly deeper than the maritime areas near the continent.

In Chen Yun’s plan,

He would gradually increase the distance of his swimming workouts, venturing as far as possible.

He wouldn’t just limit himself to Hua Country’s territorial waters.

He’d go beyond, to international waters and the territorial waters of other countries, becoming a true loiterer of the streets, so to speak.

Even the series of trenches between the Pacific Ocean and the Eurasian Continent were among the destinations Chen Yun considered targeting.

These were places he must visit in the future.

But for now, he still didn’t plan to go.

After all, his current strength wasn’t yet powerful enough to defy nature; ten tons of strength was still quite insignificant.

Currently, Chen Yun aimed to find more marine dominators to fight and stimulate his body, discover stunning seabed sceneries, and then swim more to exercise his body.
