My fishing raft will ask for help.

Zhou Miao's investment plan for the fish rafts will not change. Since Lu Xingyu insists on waiting until the fish rafts are officially open for business before calculating the costs, he will not continue to discuss the matter.

He then sent him a video of himself feeding the leatherback turtle that morning.

Lu Xingyu was shocked when he saw it: "Holy crap! My godfather? It actually followed us to the fish raft?"

Zhou Miao laughed and said, "That's right! I didn't expect it either. When the workers saw it this morning, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They nearly thought they had stumbled upon a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Unfortunately, all the fish I caught this morning ended up in its belly."

Lu Xingyu stared at the video, his eyes shining: "Do you think if we fish and feed it regularly, it won't stay?"

Zhou Miao immediately shook his head: "Stop! What are you thinking? This is a Class I protected animal in China. Do you think we can keep it as a pet? Don't do anything illegal."

"The reason I sent you this video is because I plan to have Xiaoxiao be the face of our fishing raft in the future. She will be in charge of online promotion and live streaming. This video can be used as material to help us promote our fishing raft."

"That's true... We really can't do illegal things." Lu Xingyu was as if he had been doused with cold water, and immediately wilted. However, he agreed with Zhou Miao's suggestion, "Xiaoxiao is indeed suitable for this."

"Yes, let's consider it as her working on the fish raft, and pay her a salary."

"What, you think you can get something for free?"

"It's not impossible!"

"Hmm?" X2

The two of them were startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the kitchen doorway, Lu Xiaoxiao leaned against the doorframe, a mischievous smile on her face: "Brother A-Miao, don't you want to freeload? I have no objection!"

Zhou Miao felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, free things are the most expensive. It's more reliable to hire you properly."

He then turned to look at Lu Xingyu and said helplessly, "Has your sister completely let loose?"

"You're getting a good deal and then acting innocent, huh?!" Lu Xingyu gritted his teeth in anger, then turned and yelled at his sister, "And you, Lu Xiaoxiao, can't you be a little more dignified? Men who chase after you are never truly appreciated, especially this one in front of you. She kissed you, hugged you, but she didn't take any responsibility!"

Zhou Miao wasn't happy to hear that, and banged on the table: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean I'm not responsible? I've been the one suffering all along, okay?"

After saying that, he turned and glared at Lu Xiaoxiao: "And you, don't flirt around like that. You don't want the official girlfriend position, so you insist on being a mistress? What, do you think you're Gao Yuanyuan?!"

Lu Xiaoxiao shrank back, knowing he was really angry. She stuck out her tongue and quickly slipped back to the kitchen to cook, temporarily avoiding his wrath.

Seeing her obediently go back to cook, Zhou Miao and Lu Xingyu exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

After lunch, the three of them went about their own business.

Lu Xingyu took Lu Xiaoxiao to the police station first, then to the bank. They also needed to contact their insurance company to minimize their losses.

Given his situation, he can probably get 80% of the compensation, and he'll have to bear the rest himself.

Zhou Miao returned to the dock and waited for the workers to start work in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, he kept an eye on the sea, but did not see the leatherback turtle again. He was a little disappointed, thinking that it had left the area.

As a result, he took the workers back to the shore when he finished get off work in the evening.

Just as I returned to the fishing raft to collect the dismantled debris and prepare to transport it ashore for processing, a familiar figure was slowly swimming towards the raft on the sea – it was the leatherback turtle!

After it approached the fish raft, it slowly sank into the water.

Zhou Miao was overjoyed; it seemed this guy really intended to settle down here!

Two days passed by at a leisurely pace...

Lu Xingyu no longer needed to go to the hospital for IV drips, so he shifted his focus to the fish rafts.

These past few days, Lu Xiaoxiao has either been at home editing videos or coming to the fish raft to film the progress of its renovation.

She plans to wait until the fish raft renovation is halfway complete, then gradually upload the edited videos online according to the timeline to officially begin promotion.

Zhou Miao and Lu Xingyu discussed her salary and decided on five thousand yuan per month.

Her future work will not only involve promotion, but also receiving guests and providing services.

There are many and varied tasks, but a monthly salary of five thousand is quite reasonable in Nanzhen, a place where the overall cost of living is low and wages are not high.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't mention investing in the fish rafts again. She had brought it up before because her older brother had gone missing.

But she knew that Zhou Miao had helped her earn the money, and bringing it up again would be considered taking advantage of her, which she felt bad about.

So she kept the money in the card for emergencies.

With the two siblings watching over the fishing raft, Zhou Miao finally had some free time to do his own things, such as fishing to earn money.

So early on the third day, he dragged Lu Xingyu to the fish raft to act as a supervisor.

He originally wanted to go fishing in the open sea and even contacted Yu Muzhou, but unfortunately the other party said that he had important matters to attend to in the next few days and could not go out to sea.

Zhou Miao was too embarrassed to borrow his boat, so he had to temporarily abandon his plan to go to the open sea.

He took his fishing rod from the warehouse and set off for the fishing spot on the fish path.

While passing by Luo Hao's place, I unexpectedly discovered a white fishing boat moored next to his fish raft, where he was calling several customers who looked like anglers to board the boat.

"Ah Hao, where did you get this boat?" Zhou Miao asked in surprise as he leaned closer.

"I rented it with a friend!" Luo Hao pointed to the passengers on the boat. "I took a booking today, chartering the boat to the open sea. I see you're also going fishing, want to come along? We're going rock fishing at Sanshi Reef."

"Sanshi Reef?" Zhou Miao's eyes lit up.

I remembered the fishing hook quest that I had triggered long ago, but I kept putting it off because I couldn't go to the open sea.

It's like a perfect pillow for someone who's sleepy!

However, after glancing at the customers on his boat, Zhou Miao hesitated and asked, "Is it convenient? Won't it affect your business?"

"Very convenient!" Luo Hao said readily. "I'll just take you to your fishing spots, and you'll have nothing else to do."

"Okay!" Zhou Miao immediately agreed. "My friend is supervising the construction at the fish raft, so I need to leave the boat for him. You can come pick me up there later."

"No problem!" Luo Hao nodded.

Zhou Miao immediately turned the boat around and sailed back to his own fishing raft.

When Lu Xingyu, who was on the fish raft, saw him return, he asked in surprise, "Did you forget something?"

"I'm going to the open sea with my friends later, so I specially brought the boat back for you to use." Zhou Miao replied while quickly carrying the fishing rods, fish baskets, and other equipment from the boat ashore.

Then he went into the warehouse, took out his sports backpack, and two oxygen cylinders.

"You can dive?" Lu Xingyu asked in surprise.

Zhou Miao laughed and said, "Sure! If we can't catch any fish, we'll dive down and collect some sea snails to bring back."

Lu Xingyu was amused and gave him a thumbs up: "No wonder you're a fishing expert, you never miss a shot, right? I'm impressed!"

"Absolutely!" Zhou Miao grinned and tossed him the boat keys.

Before long, Luo Hao's white fishing boat arrived at the fish raft.

Five customers wearing life jackets were standing on the deck, chatting and smoking.

Zhou Miao carried all his belongings onto the ship, then went into the cabin and sat down next to Luo Hao.

"They made all the customers put on life jackets before we even reached Sanshi Reef?"

"Yes, that's the rule." Luo Hao pointed to the box of life jackets and said seriously, "The first thing to do when they board the boat is to make sure they put on their life jackets. Once your fishing raft is open for business, even if it's just to pick up customers at the dock, you must make sure they wear them. Safety is not something to be taken lightly."

"Understood, safety is the most important thing!"

Zhou Miao nodded, took out her phone, and wrote down the rule "life jackets must be worn when boarding the ship" in her notes, intending to remind Lu Xingyu and Lu Xiaoxiao when she got back.
