In a hospital in Dongchuan City!
A man, with one hand bandaged and hanging around his neck, stood up from the bed with a dejected expression, preparing to leave the hospital.
However, just as he reached the doorway, a subordinate rushed in and collided with him.
The impact made the man's face contort, tears welling up, and he couldn't even cry out in pain.
"Master Long, I-I'm so sorry! Are you, are you alright?" The subordinate, seeing Master Long's crooked mouth, stammered his apologies fearfully.
However, after more than ten seconds, Master Long recovered. Enraged, he kicked the subordinate, sending him rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
Then, he shouted, "You call this alright?"
"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" the subordinate said, trembling.
Master Long glanced at him and snorted, "Alright, get up! What's the rush, not even looking where you're going!"
"Qin Hao from the Qin family has called several times asking if we've dealt with Ye Feng!" the subordinate said, shakily standing up.
"Dealt with him, my foot! Is that something we can deal with? Return the money to him and tell him we're not taking this job anymore..."
On the other side, after receiving the reply, Qin Hao stared at the returned ten million yuan, completely bewildered.
"What's going on? The Black Dragon Gang isn't taking this job anymore? And they returned the money?" Qin Hao was utterly confused and perplexed, standing frozen for a long time, unable to comprehend the reason.
Time passed quickly. By the time Ye Feng returned to the dock, it was already noon.
As soon as he disembarked, he threw up. Having been on the boat for too long, the Sea God himself was uncharacteristically seasick. He looked utterly devoid of life.
Just then, Chen Xiaoyue called.
"Hello!" Ye Feng answered the phone weakly.
On the other end, Chen Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. "My God, I finally got through to you!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Feng asked, confused.
Chen Xiaoyue said indignantly, "What do you mean, 'what's wrong'? I've been calling you all morning, and none of them went through! I thought you fell into the sea and died!"
Ye Feng was speechless. "Uh... I went out to sea to check on the island! There might have been no signal at sea!"
"Alright! Let's talk business. I've almost finished the registration process. All that's left is for you to pick a name and sign!" Chen Xiaoyue said.
Ye Feng was surprised. "What? That fast? Your efficiency is amazing!"
Ye Feng knew nothing about setting up a company. He had only mentioned it to Chen Xiaoyue yesterday, and she had already made significant progress today.
"Of course, who do you think your assistant is!" Chen Xiaoyue said, indulging in a rare moment of vanity.
Ye Feng chimed in, "Yes, yes, as expected of the beautiful Chen Xiaoyue!"
"Hehe, alright, have you thought of a company name?" Chen Xiaoyue continued to ask.
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned. Although he had been planning to start a company for a long time, he had never thought of a name.
However, in the next second, a brilliant idea struck him. "Since I inherited the Sea God's legacy and became the Sea God, why not name it after the Sea God!"
In the next moment, he immediately said to Chen Xiaoyue, "I've thought of it. Let's call it... Sea God Aquatic Products Co., Ltd.! Abbreviated as Sea God Company!"
"Sea, Sea God Aquatic Products Co., Ltd.? Sea God Company? Isn't that name a bit too rustic?" Chen Xiaoyue was speechless.
Names like "Sea God" and "Immortal" sounded like charlatanism, not reliable at all, and frankly, a bit tacky.
"Never mind if it's rustic or not, a name is just a label! This is it!" Ye Feng insisted.
Chen Xiaoyue had no choice but to go along with Ye Feng. "Okay! I'll go and handle the relevant matters. You can come to the city tomorrow to sign and complete other procedures!"
Ye Feng nodded happily. "Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
Just then, Captain Zhou and a group of sailors walked over.
"Haha, Brother Ye, we'll be leaving if there's nothing else!" Captain Zhou said to Ye Feng with a smile.
Ye Feng smiled. "There's nothing else, oh wait!"
Saying that, Ye Feng quickly took out his phone, tapped on it a few times, and immediately transferred one hundred thousand yuan to Captain Zhou.
"Huh? Brother Ye, wh-what are you doing?" Captain Zhou asked, confused, after receiving the hundred thousand yuan.
Ye Feng said, "This is your payment for accompanying me this time!"
"Brother Ye, you-you're being too polite. You're my benefactor. It was just one trip out to sea, how can I accept your money?" Captain Zhou said, trying to return the money to Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng quickly stopped him. "Brother Zhou, this money is what you deserve. If you don't take it, how will you pay the sailors? We can't let them make the trip for nothing!"
Everyone had risked their lives going to Shi Island with Ye Feng, and Ye Feng couldn't let them return empty-handed.
"But this, this is too much! We can't..."
As Captain Zhou was about to say more, Ye Feng interrupted him. "Brother Zhou, please accept it. I have something more important to tell you."
"Huh? Something more important? What is it?" Captain Zhou asked, puzzled.
Ye Feng organized his thoughts and pulled Captain Zhou aside, saying, "Brother Zhou, my company is about to be established. I want to hire you and your fleet on a long-term basis. Are you willing?"
"What? Hire me and my fleet long-term?" Hearing this, Captain Zhou was taken aback.
Ye Feng nodded. "That's right! You don't have to work every day, just come when you're needed! As for the salary, each sailor will get five thousand a month, and you, Brother Zhou, will get fifteen thousand! What do you think?"
Captain Zhou's eyes widened in excitement. "Ye, Brother Ye, are you sure?"
Ye Feng nodded. "That's right! If you think it's too little, I can add a bit more! And as the company grows and becomes successful, the salaries will increase!"
"No, no, no, it's not too little, not at all!" Captain Zhou quickly waved his hands.
These sailors usually earned around three thousand a month with him, and even that wasn't stable. Now Ye Feng was offering five thousand, and more importantly, they didn't have to work every day. This was an incredible opportunity, and of course, he agreed.
"So, Brother, you agree?" Ye Feng asked.
Captain Zhou nodded. "Of course, I agree. Wouldn't I be a fool not to agree to such a good thing? However, I still need to ask them about this matter!"
"Naturally, go ahead!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
The next second, Captain Zhou hurried over and explained the situation to the sailors.
The sailors were all surprised. Their eyes widened as they looked at Ye Feng, then at each other. After a moment, they all cheered like madmen, jumping and hopping with joy.
Seeing this, Ye Feng showed a look of relief.
However, Ye Feng didn't know that a man in a baseball cap not far from the dock was secretly watching them...
