　　Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are people, there is oppression.

　　In fact, according to the rules of the fish bar, new guys in the fish bar will be bullied to a certain extent, just like newcomers are bullied in the workplace.

　　But when Chen Jie came, there was no problem at all.

　　Not to mention how powerful his backing is, just based on his reputation as the Egg-Breaking Master, who would dare to mess with him!

　　I'm angry and I'll hit you. Can you bear it?

　　Chen Jie had not expected that the battle at Dongheyan would earn him the nickname "Egg-Breaking Immortal".

　　And turned into a group that cannot be provoked.

　　Of course, Chen Jie was still conservative. If he revealed his identity as a warrior, it would not be as simple as not being able to be provoked. I estimate that there would be many people trying to curry favor with him.

　　However, Chen Jie did not reveal his cards.

　　Chen Jie introduced himself. Xiao Hu was a little nervous. Chen Jie patted him on the back and said with a smile: "This is my cousin, Chen Xiao Hu. Please take care of him in the future."

　　Chen Xiaohu also reacted and nodded: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Xiaohu."

　　This was a brief introduction, and Wu Zhong stepped on stage and continued, "Well, OK, I'll make some arrangements for you. Chen Jie and Chen Xiaohu, as a team, your future mission will be to patrol the river. I hope you'll take good care of them!"

　　Upon hearing this, the guys at the fish stall looked at each other in bewilderment!

　　As a river patroller right after arriving?

　　This backdoor is pretty good, is it so naked?

　　Especially some of the older guys, they looked obviously unhappy. They had worked in the fish pen for so many years and had never gotten to patrol the river. And now Chen Jiusi just arrived and assigned him to patrol the river. This was too biased.

　　Patrolling the river is a "tough" job in the fish pen. Only those who have been there for more than five years can apply for it, and the application may not be approved.

　　This river patrol job not only has flexible working hours but also plenty of benefits. The most important thing is that as long as you serve as a river patrol, you will have the opportunity to officially join the Fishermen's Gang and become a disciple within two years!

　　The guys at the fish stall are not disciples of the fishing gang, but more like reserve forces.

　　Currently, there are only ten official disciples of the fishing gang in the entire fish pen, including Wu Zhong.

　　Including five big bows!

　　Moreover, the next step for this river patrol officer is to be directly promoted to the captain, who is the real person in power.

　　Don't think that the power structure of a town-level fish pen is simple. In fact, it is quite the opposite. As the saying goes, the smaller the temple, the more evil spirits there are. This kind of town-level power organization often has more complex social relations.

　　Therefore, for a moment, everyone's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before, and it was even a bit cold.

　　Many people quietly looked at the old man on the side. After all, there were only five positions for river patrol, and one of them had just retired not long ago. When everyone was competing, Chen Jie came and grabbed the position directly.

　　Do you want them to have no thoughts in their minds?

　　Chen Jie also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and looked at Wu Zhong.

　　Wu Zhong didn't say anything. If Chen Jie couldn't handle this kind of test, then he wouldn't have much of a future.

　　Society is like this, there are only so many positions. If you don't fight for them, you can expect others to give them to you.

　　And now I have given you the position. If you can't keep it, it means you are not capable enough!

　　It's not my fault!

　　When Chen Jie thought of this, he immediately clasped his fists towards Wu Zhong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu Zhong, for your cultivation!"

　　Immediately after that, Chen Jie asked, "Uncle Zhong, can I distribute the things to everyone?"

　　Wu Zhong nodded and said, "Of course!"

　　Thinking of this, Chen Jie cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I am very happy to be your colleague in the future. Besides, I haven't thanked you for what happened yesterday!"

　　"If you hadn't helped Jiu Si yesterday, how could he have avenged the humiliation he suffered from the Yu family?"

　　"And I let Jiu Si get the money. I can't keep all this money for myself, so I bought some rice, flour, grain and oil. I'll give it to you later. Don't think it's too little!"

　　Um?

　　As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, not only the guys at the fish farm below, but even the five captains looked up and looked at Chen Jie in surprise.

　　Especially the big bow man, there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.

　　The guys at the fish station below were all stunned, and then excited!

　　Rice, flour, grain and oil!

　　This is the hard currency of this era, which every household lacks. This gift really touches their hearts.

　　Don't think that it is commonplace for any unit to distribute rice, flour, grain and oil, or even mock it as being unoriginal.

　　But if you go back thirty years.

　　Which factory distributes rice, flour, grain and oil? That's really awesome. In the past, when a father-in-law looked for his son-in-law, he would always ask, "What does your company give you during the holidays?"

　　If you are talking about distributing rice, flour, grain and oil, then in the eyes of my father-in-law, a regular factory with stable job is something that this son-in-law can handle!

　　What's more, this is ancient society.

　　Rice, flour, grain and oil are really a killer.

　　Especially for the fellows of the fishing gang who are not rich these days, even though they are greedy and demand too much, the biggest share goes to the five captains, followed by the old fellows, and the new fellows do not get much.

　　But Chen Jie's rice, flour, grain and oil are real!

　　Although the rice and flour are sorghum rice and millet flour, it is still a big gift in the eyes of these fish stall guys!

　　Chen Jie's move of opening the way with a great gift instantly divided the resistance from the audience.

　　He did snatch some people's river patrol positions, but there were only five or six old guys who were qualified to grab these river patrol positions, while most of the new guys didn't care.

　　The reason I resisted just now was because I felt it was unfair and I had an instinctive aversion to backdoor dealings!

　　But if someone gives you gifts now, it doesn't matter. The instinctive disgust will be directly corroded by these sugar-coated bullets.

　　There is no way this river patrol position will fall on my head. Chen Jiusi even gave me a big gift. It is real that I got the benefit. As for you old people who are not convinced.

　　That's none of my business. You guys don't give me any benefits when you have them. Why should I empathize with you?

　　With one move of division, Chen Jie directly reduced the enemy to a few old friends.

　　Chen Jie didn't take these old guys seriously. In terms of strength, he was a warrior, and they were at most farmhands and could not beat him.

　　In terms of background, he has the support of the Bai family.

　　If they had a powerful backer, they would have been promoted long ago. Why would they have waited until today?

　　In addition, he also has an intelligence system to keep abreast of the latest developments, so he is able to do a solid job in patrolling the river.

　　Moreover, Chen Jie is very satisfied with this river patrol position.

　　Less work, less things to do, and more money. What other job do you want?

　　The brief introduction ended, and Chen Jie began to distribute rice, flour, grain and oil to Xiaohu. The captains looked at each other, and the third captain looked at the big captain and said, "You are here with bad intentions!"

　　The captain laughed and said, "Good job, young man. You are energetic. Very good."

　　At this time, Chen Jie came over with big gifts specially prepared for several ship captains.

　　"Captain, I will be working for you from now on. Please take good care of me."

　　The captain looked at the gift that Chen Jie handed over and said in a gentle voice, "Hahahaha... It's my duty, it's my duty. Look, you're giving me a gift. You're so polite, so polite..."

Chapter 75: River Patrol

　　Crash...

　　In the captain's room, he casually threw the gift given by Chen Jie on the ground.

　　His face was full of gloom.

　　"A dragon crossing the river!"

　　The big captain came and sat on the chair, frowning.

　　Soon there was a knock on the door, and a man in his late thirties walked in. Seeing the captain, he said, "Captain, you..."

　　"Close the door first!"

　　The man said halfway, turned around and closed the door, looked at the captain and said, "Captain, won't you agree to give me the vacant river patrol position?"

　　The captain narrowed his eyes and said, "What can I do about the steward's arrangement?"

　　"But..."

　　The man had no words to express his pain.

　　The captain looked at him and said, "But what? But I took the money but I won't do the job for you?"

　　"It's not the captain. I just can't explain to my family that I sold three acres of paddy field for this river patrol. If they knew that I didn't become a river patrol..."

　　Bang!

　　A bag of silver was thrown on the table.

　　Um?

　　The man looked at the bag of money on the table.

　　The big bow; "Take it and roll!"

　　The man was stunned, and the captain said, "Get lost!"

　　"Captain, that's not what I meant. I..."

　　"Do you want me to throw you out myself?"

　　Hearing this, the man stretched out his hand to take the silver, but after thinking for a while he pulled his hand back and said, "Captain, please pay more attention to my matter..."

　　After saying that, he turned and left.

　　Seeing this scene, the captain didn't say anything, but his face was still gloomy.

　　In fact, he didn't care about a river patrol position, he cared about Chen Jie's methods.
