Chapter 322 Careful
I had a simple seafood meal made by Lao Mo at noon, rested for a while, and continued fishing in the afternoon.
April does have some fishing experience, but not much, just slightly better than Secretary Liu.
Sea fishing is a physical job, especially when fishing for big fish. You need to stand on the fluctuating deck and pull with the fish for a long time until the fish is exhausted. Then you can pull it out of the water and then use a net or hook to pull the fish onto the boat.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng caught a dozen fish here and there, the largest of which was a sea bass weighing more than 20 kilograms.
As for April, after catching a grouper weighing seven or eight kilograms, he was basically exhausted and sat there to rest.
As the sun was setting, Lu Cheng was just about to go back after fishing for a while, but there was movement on April's fishing rod.
April, who was sitting on the side to rest, suddenly felt stronger and quickly grabbed the fishing rod, wanting to try the weight of the fish.
Maybe it was because he was tired after most of the day and didn't have much energy left, or maybe it was because the fish was too big, April didn't pay attention and his body flipped over, falling into the sea along the fishing rod.
"Ah!" April only had time to let out a scream before he fell into the sea.
Fortunately, everyone wears a life jacket when fishing, which can protect their lives to a certain extent.
Seeing April fall into the water, Lu Cheng jumped into the sea without hesitation. In a moment, he swam to April and grabbed the back collar of her life jacket.
"Apel, don't panic, I'll take you aboard."
After struggling in the water for a while, April was soaked all over and was still a little panicked. After hearing Lu Cheng's words and being pulled closer to the boat by Lu Cheng, she calmed down a little.
Then the captain immediately opened the small hatch at the stern, and other crew members also lent a hand to help.
Lu Cheng first pushed April to the side of the boat, asked two sailors to help pull her on board, and then followed her on board.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now."
"What are you talking about? I should be the one saying sorry. If I hadn't brought you out to fish, you wouldn't have fallen into the sea and got scared. Go to the cabin and have a rest. It's windy now. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Lu."
At this time, April was completely wet, and his clothes were sticking tightly to his body, which was indeed uncomfortable.
When April returned to the cabin, Captain Lao Ma had already started to collect his fishing rods.
Although April fell into the water, her fishing rod was still tied to the side of the boat with a spring rope, and the fish was not off the hook.
After several people worked together and took some effort, they finally pulled the fish out of the sea. When the captain Lao Ma saw the fish, he immediately became excited: "Boss, it's a bluefin tuna, at least more than 30 kilograms."
Lu Cheng also became interested and quickly prepared the scoop net.
Bluefin tuna is known for being expensive, and the larger the bluefin tuna, the higher the price. It is common to see bluefin tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms being auctioned off online for as high as to million yuan.
Bluefin tuna has very delicious meat and is very suitable for sashimi. In addition, due to overfishing, the number of wild tuna is decreasing, and it is very difficult to breed them artificially, which leads to the high price of tuna.
Soon, the bluefin tuna was caught. The captain took out the weighing tool and weighed it, and it was 38 kilograms.
The price of wild bluefin tuna generally ranges from 200 to 600 yuan. It is absolutely no problem to sell this tuna for several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan.
Of course, since it is rare to catch a bluefin tuna, Lu Cheng naturally would not sell it.
At this time, April also came out of the cabin. Looking at the big fish weighing 30 to 40 kilograms, he couldn't help but feel happy: "I didn't expect that we could catch such a big fish today."
"This fish belongs to you, thanks to you. How about selling it to me when we get back to the shore?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? I followed you out to the sea, the fishing equipment was all yours, and you also pulled up this fish, what does it have to do with me?"
"That's different. It's thanks to your good luck that we were able to catch this fish. Lao Ma, start the boat, let's go back."
"Okay, boss."
"After we get back, let's divide the fish so that everyone can have a share."
"thank you boss."
After returning to the shore, Lu Cheng noticed that April was feeling a little uncomfortable: "April, you must have caught a cold. I'll take you to the hospital."
"No need, Mr. Lu, I'll just go back and rest for a while."
"That won't do. I brought you out here to play, so I must be responsible for your safety."
"Go ahead and listen to me."
Although Lu Cheng was also the best doctor, he did not offer to treat April himself. Instead, he took April home first and asked her to wash up and change clothes. The dried sea water sticking to her body was very uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng drove April to the hospital himself.
After the doctor's examination, April just caught a cold and was exposed to the wind, and had a cold. She needed to get an IV and rest for two days.
After the IV drip was put on, April wanted Lu Cheng to go back: "Mr. Lu, I'm really fine. You don't have to stay here with me. You're a busy man, and I dare not waste your precious time."
"No matter how busy I am, your health is more important than anything else. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll buy it for you."
"No, I'm not that hungry."
"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll make arrangements for you."
After Lu Cheng left, an old lady who was receiving an IV drip couldn't help but gossip, "Girl, was that your boyfriend just now? He's quite handsome."
"Auntie, you misunderstood, he is not..."
"Oh, it's rare to find such a handsome and considerate guy nowadays. Girl, you better hold on tight."
Seeing this, April stopped explaining, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. How could a small salesperson like him be worthy of a big boss worth over 10 billion?
An outstanding man will attract women, but a man who is too outstanding will also make women stay away.
While receiving an IV drip, April sent a message to Yang Ke, asking for leave.
Yang Ke on the other end quickly called back: "Aiper, why did you suddenly ask for leave? Could it be that Mr. Lu really hooked you?"
"What are you thinking about? I just caught a cold while fishing today. I'm in the hospital getting an IV drip. I need to rest for a while."
"So that's what happened. Where's Mr. Lu? Didn't he compensate you?"
"Boss Lu went out to buy food."
"Hey, such a big boss is personally concerned about you. April, don't really fall for it. Let me tell you, these big bosses are not simple, and it's easy for them to play with little girls. If you fall for them, you will be the one who suffers."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. You don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. You should take a few more days to rest."
"Three days at most, I can definitely go back to work."
When April hung up the phone, he saw Lu Cheng coming back from outside, holding several lunch boxes and a large bag of fruit in his hands.
"Boss Lu, don't be so exaggerated. I'm just getting an IV drip. I'm not hospitalized."
"You have nothing to do anyway, so eat something first. If you can't finish it, take it back. Come on, come on, let's eat together."
After April finished eating, Lu Cheng handed her a tissue, peeled an apple for her, and washed a plate of cherries.
April saw it all and couldn't help feeling moved.
After the drip, it was already 10:30 in the evening. Lu Cheng drove April home and brought the gift he bought for her into the house. He left without staying for long.
After Lu Cheng came downstairs, April stood by the window and watched Lu Cheng get into the car and drive away before returning to the house to rest...
