After Ye Feng and the others left, they didn't return to the small restaurant, as they had lost all mood after what had happened.
The four walked on the road, none of them speaking, the atmosphere unusually strange.
"Uh, why has everyone gone quiet?" Ye Feng finally couldn't help but speak first.
At this moment, his good deskmate Song Yang spoke, saying, "Ye Feng, I find myself unable to see through you anymore!"
"Exactly! Has your life gone on cheat mode? You're buying sea areas, starting companies, and even gangsters are afraid of you!" the class monitor couldn't help but add.
Ye Feng chuckled, "It's all just luck! Alright, enough about me, let's talk about you guys!"
Knowing that Ye Feng didn't want to talk about himself, they didn't press further and began to discuss their own situations.
First was Chen Xiaoyue. After graduating from junior high, her high school grades improved dramatically, and she was admitted to a prestigious university. She then pursued a double major and is now Ye Feng's assistant secretary.
Next was Song Yang. He also graduated from junior high and attended high school, but he didn't get admitted. He is now an ordinary office worker.
What surprised Ye Feng the most was the class monitor. His family actually ran a small food company!
Although the scale wasn't large, it still earned several million annually.
This greatly surprised Ye Feng. No wonder Li Yue had given the class monitor a chance when he wanted to deal with Ye Feng and the others before.
It seemed that guy had known about the class monitor's good family background and didn't want to make an enemy of him.
"Class monitor, we knew your family was well-off before, but we never imagined it was this good!" Ye Feng said in surprise.
However, the class monitor shook his head, "Alas, it's not that good! The market was decent a few years ago, but it's been bad these past few years, especially since my experience is still lacking. After I took over, it's been declining, and I don't know how much longer we can hold on!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled, "It's alright, take it slow! It will get better sooner or later!"
"Mhm, thank you!"
After that, the few of them rested and chatted nearby for a while longer, finally parting ways at twelve o'clock.
"Everyone, let's keep in touch!" Ye Feng waved goodbye to them.
The three happily waved back to Ye Feng.
Upon returning home, Ye Feng fell asleep immediately.
As the construction of the Rough Stone Island sea area would take nearly half a month, Ye Feng spent the next few days at home fishing and researching aquaculture.
Time flew by, and a week passed. The work progress at the Rough Stone Island sea area was even faster than Ye Feng had imagined.
In just one week, the person in charge there called Ye Feng to inform him that the work was proceeding exceptionally smoothly and was already seventy to eighty percent complete.
They hadn't encountered any of the problems they had anticipated, such as strong winds or tsunamis, and it hadn't even rained heavily.
Ye Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this!
Upon reflection, he wondered if it was due to the Sea God Temple.
After all, Ye Feng had been paying close attention to the weather forecasts these past few days. It was supposed to rain for half the week, but the Rough Stone Island sea area had remained calm and sunny.
However, just as Ye Feng was rejoicing, someone was furious and running around in circles.
Inside the Tang family hall!
Tang Zhiyang paced back and forth in front of a middle-aged man, saying anxiously, "Dad! That scoundrel Ye Feng has really started construction on Rough Stone Island, and it's going exceptionally smoothly! If we don't do something soon, it will be too late!"
The Tang family head also looked troubled. Seeing Tang Zhiyang pacing incessantly, he became even more enraged, "It's all your fault, you useless good-for-nothing! If you had bid for the Rough Stone Island sea area back then, none of this would have happened! You're really infuriating me!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang knew it was his fault, so he shut his mouth and walked out.
After leaving, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Young Master Tang, what made you think of calling me!" a familiar voice answered from the other end of the phone.
"Qin Hao, you useless piece of trash, didn't you say you hired someone to get rid of Ye Feng? How is he still alive and well?" Tang Zhiyang said angrily.
Hearing this, Qin Hao hurriedly replied, "Oh, oh, I forgot to tell you about this! I paid ten million to the Black Dragon Gang to do it, but I don't know why the Black Dragon Gang returned the money and refused the job!"
Tang Zhiyang became even more enraged, cursing, "Useless, useless, all of you are useless!"
Just as Tang Zhiyang was about to hang up, Qin Hao suddenly said, "But don't worry, Young Master Tang, I've thought of another good idea this time! I guarantee it will complete the mission!"
"Oh? What good idea?" Tang Zhiyang asked with some curiosity.
Qin Hao calmly uttered three words: "Hire an assassin!"
"Hire an assassin?" Tang Zhiyang couldn't help but show surprise at this.
Qin Hao nodded, "That's right! It's just that..."
"Just what? Don't hesitate, spit it out!" Tang Zhiyang said impatiently.
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "It's just that my funds are a bit tight, and their price is a bit high, so you see..."
"It's just money, isn't it? Tell me! How much do you need?" Tang Zhiyang asked.
Qin Hao said, "They want fifty million, and I only have ten million on hand right now, so..."
"Fine, I'll ask my dad for it later and transfer it to you!" Tang Zhiyang said and hung up.
The next second, he appeared in the Tang family hall and explained the situation to the Tang family head.
After hearing this, the Tang family head nodded, "Good! This time it must succeed, or I'll cripple you!"
"Dad, don't worry! This time there will definitely be no problem!" Tang Zhiyang replied.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao, after receiving the huge sum of forty million, was overjoyed.
Because fifty million wasn't even needed; the lowest-tier assassins would only cost thirty million.
In Qin Hao's opinion, the lowest-tier assassins were more than enough to deal with a small fry like Ye Feng.
Therefore, he could still pocket a profit of ten million, and he was ecstatic.
The next second, he picked up the phone and made the call...
On Ye Feng's side, upon learning that the construction of the Rough Stone Island sea area was nearly complete, he decided to go and take a look.
The next day, he boarded a boat with Captain Zhou and headed towards Rough Stone Island.
He hadn't been to Rough Stone Island for a week, and when he arrived again, he was stunned by the sight before him.
The entire Rough Stone Island sea area was now teeming with fish. Without needing to search deliberately, one could see many schools of fish just by looking up.
Some leaped out of the water collectively, creating a beautiful scenic line on the calm Rough Stone Island sea.
This made Ye Feng incredibly excited. He immediately activated his underwater detection ability, and what he saw was almost unbelievable.
The schools of fish beneath the surface were even more numerous, dense, and more than three times what he had seen last time.
Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Damn, what aquaculture research do I need to do? This is great, I'll just catch fish and sell them..."
