Island Management: Starting With the Heart of Ocean as a Prize

Chapter 21: The Class Was in an Uproar After Not Seeing Any Activity All Year Round!

For the next few days, Qi Hang basically took Little White and the cormorant to wander around the coast and did not go out to sea again.

Little White, who was used to a free-range lifestyle, found that it had such a partner in its home, which also stimulated its desire to work hard. It must defend its position as the number one in its master’s heart and use its strength in the sea.

Every day before dawn, before the cormorant woke up, he would bring food to Qi Hang and lick him repeatedly.

However, he could only wander around the coastal waters. All he caught were small fish and prawns. He had never encountered a lobster as big as the first time.

The cormorant was different. It could fly to further places to hunt. The prey that he brought to Qi Hang were of high quality.

The two little guys each had their own strengths and were secretly competing with each other. Unfortunately, they did not get into a fight.

Qi Hang smacked his lips. He did not mind watching the show, so he diluted some essence of the ocean.

It was worth mentioning that the frequency of Fang Qing coming over these few days had greatly increased. Compared to when she was young, she often came two or three times a day. She used chatting as an excuse to grab a few fruits to satisfy her cravings.

Later, when she felt embarrassed, she gifted him a crab pot from her home and continued to eat the fruits.

This was what Qi Hang was busy with right now.

He soaked the bait used to lure the green crab into the cage in the diluted solution of the essence of the ocean, took advantage of the tide to get the crab pot, and then put the bait in.

After doing all this, he could not help but feel a little tired.

The fishing life in the past few days had been a little tiring. Without the essence of the ocean, the difficulty of fishing had skyrocketed. If it were not for Little White and the cormorant’s help, he would probably only be able to ensure food and clothing now.

After all, he was a man who had inherited the vast amount of knowledge from the Heart of the Ocean. Moreover, he had strengthened his five senses, which made him much stronger than ordinary people.

From this, it could be seen how difficult it was for the current fishermen.

Qi Hang temporarily did not have the energy and ability to benefit everyone. He went home and took a nap.

He did not know how long he slept until he was woken up by the sound of ringing.

“Hello?” He asked with his sleepy eyes.

“President Qi, are you still sleeping? Come out and have a drink.”

Hearing this half-joking voice, Qi Hang’s blocked train of thought gradually worked.

He remembered that this should be one of his dorm mates from university.

“I’m not in Shanghai now. I’m going back to my hometown, the fishing village.”

Qi Hang said.

“Holy sh*t, are you serious?”

“Are you kidding me? You don’t want your job in Shanghai Anymore?”

“Of course he’s kidding. It’s such a good job. How could he possibly give it up and quit?”

There was a cacophony of discussions coming from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that it was on speaker mode. The three roommates were all together.

Qi Hang did not explain. Without saying anything, he sent two photos over. One was of the beach and the sea, and the other was of the house he was currently living in.

“Look at the photos. I’m not lying to you, am I?”

The other end of the phone suddenly went silent. It was obvious that everyone had gone to look at the photos. Not long after, there was another wave of exclamations.

“Awesome, President Qi, you really left your job and went home.”

“I really don’t understand this. Did you leave a bright future behind just like that? Why did you go back to your hometown and suffer?”

“To be honest, Qi Hang, I think you’ve gone too far.”

They were all envious of Qi Hang’s job. The prospects were good, and the conditions for promotion were adequate. It was just that the salary was not high enough for the time being, but it was not a big deal at all. After another ten or eight years, he might even be able to get a high position.

A capable person like Qi Hang was very likely to achieve it.

In this regard, Qi Hang only smiled faintly. “If I don’t take advantage of my youth to be willful once, then wouldn’t I have never experienced anything exciting while living in this world?”

They still could not understand.

“I understand willfulness. Who among us hasn’t been willful before? But Qi Hang, you’re already so old. You should at least consider the matter of starting a family.”

“That’s right. Moreover, economic industries are now concentrated in the cities. Many villages have been hollowed out. There’s no way to earn money back home.”

Qi Hang yawned, but he could no longer fall asleep. He simply got up and said, “there’s a path for fish and a path for shrimp. There’s a path for every profession. I’m quite satisfied with the income from fishing now.”

“Crazy.”

“You’re really ruthless. I’m convinced by you.”

“Sigh, how difficult is it to find a good job now? You actually gave up just like that.”

The chattering continued.

Qi Hang looked at the time and moved a little faster. “Oh right, I’m going to harvest crabs. You guys should get together. We’ll drink again when there’s a chance.”

As he said this, he hung up the phone and hurried to the beach.

…

The three roommates looked at the phone screen that gradually dimmed after the phone was hung up. They were all staring at each other.

“Am I living in a dream? What era is it? Why would anyone turn back?” A short man who was dressed in fashionable clothes spoke first.

“I don’t understand.” A bespectacled young man beside him also shook his head. “With Qi Hang’s ability, it’s impossible for him to be fired.”

“Who cares?”

Another man in a suit chuckled. “I’ve sent this message to the class chat group. Take a look.”

The two of them turned on their phones at the same time and took a look. As expected, the class chat group that had not been active for a long time exploded.

[Did you know that Qi Hang, one of the most popular people in our school, quit his job at the listed company in Shanghai and went back to the countryside to fish?]

This was the voice message sent by the boy.

Everyone in the chat group cursed. Some of them did not believe it, but the boy quickly explained.

[I didn’t believe it at first either, but he sent out two photos on the island. There’s no doubt about it.]

Classmate 1: [What a guy, what a guy.] He has used a laughing emoji.

Classmate 2: [Actually, it’s understandable. After all, the internal volume is so serious now. The bigger the company, the more it is like this. Perhaps Qi Hang is also annoyed.]

Classmate 3: [Isn’t that how it is now? The survival of the fittest. If you can’t take it, you’ll be eliminated. Qi Hang doesn’t look like a person who can’t take it. Why did he suddenly go back to the countryside?]

Classmate 1: [I’m quite envious of the seaside life. It’s so relaxing just thinking about it. He probably made money by escaping from Beijing and Guangzhou so early. He won’t have to work hard in the future.]

Classmate 4: [How is that possible? Making money isn’t the same as picking up money. How long has it been since he graduated? No matter how amazing he is, how much can he earn?]

Classmate 2: [Who Knows? The big boss’s situation isn’t something we can imagine. He was spotted by a listed company before he graduated and was exposed to all kinds of resources. I’m afraid we were still playing games all night at that time.]

Teacher Wang: [@wenxuan Wenxuan, I can’t listen to your voice message. Can you tell me what happened?]

Wenxuan: [I’m the only one who is in the same dormitory as Qi Hang. I planned to invite him out for a drink and talk about the recent situation. Who knew that he had already quit his job and went to the countryside to fish. Then, I told everyone in the group.]

Teacher Wang: [Oh, I see.]

Teacher Qin: [@wen Xuan, have you confirmed the message?]

Wen Xuan: [It was Qi Hang himself who said it. It should be true.]

Teacher Qin: [Sigh, he’s so young and so capable. He should put his talents to good use. How can he go back to his hometown and live such a flat life?]
