After he left, Gao Qilin did not rest but immediately did as he was told.
Because the people around have lived by the sea for a long time, they don't know much about what happens on the road and are unaware of the Qiangsheng Group's affairs.
So when they saw someone recruiting skilled fishermen, they all crowded around, showing off their fishing abilities, hoping to catch Gao Qilan's eye. (bgci)
Among this group of people, a fisherman named Mo Guanshan caught their attention.
He was very different from the others; he didn't show off his fishing skills but stood aside the whole time. Even so, the confidence he exuded was enough to overshadow everyone else.
This caught Gao Qilan's eye immediately, and she called him over.
"He didn't do anything, so why are you all interested in him? That's really absurd, isn't it?"
"That's right. I think my professional skills are much better than his. He should have chosen me, so why would he choose him?"
Upon seeing this, the people present all looked puzzled and complained, since no one wanted to be eliminated.
“He exudes a kind of charisma that you don’t have, and that’s exactly what we’re looking for. We’ve made it very clear before: we’re here to find the person in charge of teaching tourists how to fish, and only when we have the right charisma can we gain the tourists’ approval.”
Seeing the behavior of these people, Gao Qilan appeared very impatient. She hated it when people asked her why, which made her tone quite perfunctory. After saying that, she took Mo Guanshan and left the place.
But Gao Qilin knew that doing so would only bring them a lot of unnecessary trouble. For safety's sake, he immediately gathered the people together again and said in a tactful tone:
"It's not that we didn't select you because you're not capable. On the contrary, in my eyes, you are all quite capable. No matter which one of you participates in the fishing competition, you should be able to get a very good ranking."
"Since things have come to this, why didn't you choose us?"
"Exactly, do you think there's something wrong with your thinking, that you don't want the good things?"
After hearing Gao Qilin say that, the people present looked very confused and expressed their bewilderment.

"As you all heard what she just said, our main focus this time is tourism, so the requirements for ability are not very high. On the contrary, if the ability is too high, it will not only be of no benefit to us, but will also make tourists feel that they are not capable enough, thus disappointing us and affecting our revenue."
Seeing that these people were still asking the same questions, Gao Qilin started talking about objective factors, and used a lot of professional terminology when he did so. His purpose was simple: to make sure that the people in front of him couldn't understand him.
And those people behaved exactly as Gao Qilin had hoped. After Gao Qilin finished speaking, they all showed expressions of understanding and said:
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought it was something else. You should have told me sooner. If you had, I wouldn't have made a fuss about it."
“We’re not unreasonable people. If you had told us earlier, do you think we would still be arguing like this?”
"There's no point in staying here any longer. Alright, everyone, let's all go home. Don't let this affect your business. After all, we still need to make a living by fishing."
After some teasing, the others left one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only Gao Qilin was left.
After seeing them all leave, Gao Qilin finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his own place.
Although Gao Qilan had already left, she noticed that Gao Qilin hadn't followed, so she went over to check on the situation, which allowed him to see everything that had just happened.
After Gao Qilin returned, Gao Qilan couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you saying those useless things to those people? The fact that they weren't selected is simply because they're not capable enough. Is it really necessary to say all that?"
"Their abilities are real, but we can't say that about them. After all, they work nearby, and we'll see each other all the time. If something happens, we might have to trouble them. If we make things too difficult now, it might be hard to get their help later."
Seeing that Gao Qilan did not understand his intention, Gao Qilin explained.
"Oh, I see. How come I didn't think of that before? It seems you were very thoughtful. If you weren't here with me, I might have really ruined this."
At this moment, Gao Qilan suddenly realized what was happening and showed a look of regret.
"The matter has already happened and been resolved, so let's not dwell on it anymore. Alright, let's focus our attention on Mo Guanshan now. After all, he's our top priority. Whether we can open another project depends entirely on him."
After saying that, Gao Qilin walked over to Mo Guanshan and asked him about his strengths.
"My strength is fishing. I can't say that I'm a great fisherman, but there aren't many people in this area who can beat me."
Mo Guanshan immediately answered Gao Qilin's question, displaying a very confident demeanor.
“Ability isn’t something you can just talk about. You saw what happened just now. Everyone here thinks they’re very capable, and they all told me they’re very capable. If I’m just going to listen to what they say, who do you think I should believe?”
"This……"
Faced with Gao Qilin's question, Mo Guanshan was at a loss for words and looked quite troubled.
· ·······Request flowers·· ········
"But you don't need to worry too much. Since we've chosen you, we'll naturally give you a chance to show yourself. We happen to have a few fishing boats. You can choose one you like to fish and see how much you can catch in an afternoon. That shouldn't be a problem."
"No problem, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."
Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Mo Guanshan immediately replied seriously. After saying this, he walked towards the fishing boat, carefully selected one that he was satisfied with, and began to prepare on the shore.
........ ......... ...
However, there was nothing on the fishing boat that could be used for fishing, which meant he had to prepare again and buy some fishing-specific tools.
However, Gao Qilan was unaware of this. Seeing him wasting time on these trivial matters, she assumed he was deliberately stalling and teased him:
"Are you feeling guilty and trying to stall for time with these things?"
“I’m not stalling for time, I’m clearly getting the tools to go out to sea. You guys are really something, you don’t even have a single fishing tool on your boat.”
"There's no fishing gear here? That shouldn't be the case. Zhao Hu should have prepared everything."
Upon hearing what the other party said, Gao Qilin appeared very confused and immediately went aboard to check. He found that, just as the other party had said, the boat was completely empty, without any fishing gear or even any necessities.
Seeing how clean the ship was, Gao Qilin realized that this was not Zhao Hu's doing, since he didn't have the time to clean all those things out for work.
Chapter 522 Fishing Gear Missing
Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin turned his attention to his own people. He looked around, gathered all the remaining members of the Qiangsheng Group, and asked in a questioning tone:
"What happened to the things on the ship? Does anyone know where they went?"
Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the expressions on everyone's faces became uneasy. From their expressions, Gao Qilin could clearly sense that they were all hiding something, and his expression became even more serious as he asked again:
“If you know who did it, just tell me. This matter is very serious, and I have to find out. Don’t worry, I just want to find out who did it, and I won’t punish you.”
Upon hearing that Gao Qilin would not punish them, the expressions on the faces of those present relaxed considerably, and after exchanging glances, they said:
"Actually, we sold the things on the ship. We initially thought that since we were doing tourism projects, we wouldn't need these things, so we sold them to make up for the expenses."
"How do you know this thing is useless...?"
Faced with their words, Gao Qilin was at a loss for words. He sighed and left.
By this time, Mo Guanshan had prepared all the fishing gear he needed. After checking that there were no problems with the boat, he went out to sea to fish.
Not long after Mo Guanshan left, Gao Qilan, who was standing nearby, began to worry.
"Do you think he might take our fishing boat and run away? After all, this boat isn't cheap. If we let him get away like this, we might lose a lot of money."
"Don't worry, I've already sealed off the entire surrounding sea area with nets. Even if he wants to leave, he doesn't have the ability to."
Hearing Gao Qilin say that, Gao Qilan's worries subsided, and she kept her eyes fixed on the fishing boat in front of her, waiting for him to return.
About two hours later, Mo Guanshan brought the fishing boat back.
How was the harvest today?
As soon as he came down, Gao Qilin asked him about the situation on his side, showing that he was very concerned.
"I'm not very familiar with this fishing boat, and it's a bit awkward to operate, so the catch is just average, but it shouldn't be too bad."
When Gao Qilin asked him a question, Mo Guanshan looked very disappointed, as if he hadn't performed well that day.
After he finished speaking, he unloaded all the fish from the boat, more than four boxes of fish.
Seeing this, Gao Qilan looked quite surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you catch all these fish?"
"There seems to be no one else in this bed besides me. If I didn't come here, could it be someone else?"
Mo Guanshan looked speechless when Gao Qilan asked such a question.
"We can't process all these fish. How about we take them to the market and sell them?"
Since these fish were caught by Mo Guanshan, Gao Qilin still asked for his opinion.
"Of course I have no problem with that. If these fish aren't sold in time, there's no way to deal with them. So the sooner the better, try not to waste any time. You should know that the longer fish is kept, the less fresh it becomes."
Seeing that Mo Guanshan agreed, Gao Qilin said nothing more and directly sent all the fish to the market.
Because he only delivered freshly caught fish, they were snapped up as soon as they appeared at the market.
"It seems the seafood is selling quite quickly; it hasn't been long at all that the fish are sold out."
This made Gao Qilin sigh with emotion as he took the money he had earned from selling fish and went home.
When he returned, everyone had already gathered around to process the fish and turn them into various delicacies. When they saw Gao Qilin coming over, they immediately pulled him over to let him taste them.
"I think Mo Guanshan is quite useful, so after thinking it over, I decided to keep him. I don't think anyone has any objections to that, right?"
"Of course we have no objection. With such a capable person, we can eat fresh fish every day. What objection could we possibly have?"
"Yes, you know, you can't usually buy this kind of food in the market. This is a rare talent."
When they heard that Gao Qilin wanted to keep him, the others all agreed, since everyone wanted to eat seafood every 2.8 days.
"Since everyone has agreed, I'll be frank with you. The reason I kept him here is to have him teach everyone how to fish, so that everyone can master this skill."
"What? You want me to learn how to fish? Are you kidding me? I'm terrified of water, I'm afraid I can't do it. You should let someone else do it."
