TL: Hua
In terms of fishing, Ye Rongxu can’t guarantee anything else, but his fishing gear is definitely not bad, and he can even say it’s top-notch.
After all, this is his first time fishing; he only has theory but no practical experience. Whether the fishing rod is good or not depends entirely on online reviews. But there were all kinds of comments online. The young master couldn’t tell the good from the bad, so he just stuck to one principle: buy the expensive ones.
Just now, when he bought fishing gear in the store, he just bought the expensive ones.
The most expensive fishing rod may not be the best, but it will never be the worst.
Anyway, the young master is not short on money, and the one he had at home was even more expensive.
Ye Rongxu turned his head and glanced at Mr. Lu, not far away, thinking to himself: Judging from his clothes, this old man doesn’t seem to be short on money either.
If the other party really liked this fishing rod in his hand, he could have told him the address of the store. But the other party didn’t take the initiative to ask, so he wouldn’t take the initiative to say it either.
He retracted his gaze and began to direct the bodyguards to help him make the bait.
Baiting also requires skills. Ye Rongxu strictly follows the experience shared by the fishermen online. First, he looks at the direction of the wind on the water surface, then looks at the distribution of aquatic plants, and even considers the shape of the lake.
Finally, he visually measured the distance, drew a circle with his fishing rod, and said to Chen Jiang, “That area, Uncle Chen, help me cast the bait, and cast it all at once.”
Fishermen on the Internet said that when fishing in a large area of water, you should throw enough bait at once when baiting.
Ye Rongxu read the key points written on the memo on his mobile phone and nodded with satisfaction. Very good; he followed the experience taught by the big shots every step. He would definitely catch big fish and not be an “air-force”1Among fishing enthusiasts, “air-force guy” is a common Internet slang used to describe those who go out fishing but get nothing. guy.
After putting away his mobile phone, he turned his head and looked to the side.
Hey, Qin Chaoyan has already cast the rod and started fishing.
Has he thrown enough bait? And, isn’t the place he squatted randomly picked just now?
This won’t work. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood2Careful preparation can speed up the work.. If you don’t prepare well in advance, just throw the rod and start fishing at any place… tsk tsk, no, no.
Young man, you are too impatient. At first glance, you are not a qualified fisherman.
Ye Rongxu shook his head secretly, and after Chen Jiang helped him spread the bait, he slowly adjusted the fishing gear.
Only when it was about time did he cast and start… moving beautifully! Not bad for a move he had practiced dozens of times at home by the pool—the style of a fishing master.
Ye Rongxu, acting all calm and composed, started waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
Qin Chaoyan next door had taken out the question set and was doing questions while waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
Before he reached adulthood and couldn’t earn money to support himself through formal channels, he often took a fishing rod and ran around the big and small lakes, streams, ditches, and even the riverside in Jiangcheng, learning and fishing at the same time.
Sometimes, if he was lucky, the fish he caught weren’t only enough for himself to eat but could also be sold for a lot of money.
He has long been accustomed to this fishing state and was even very familiar with it.
Next door to the next door, Mr. Lu was also calm and composed.
He glanced at Qin Chaoyan and Ye Rongxu, not far away, with his peripheral vision, thinking: The two kids are quite similar.
However, it’s rare for such young people to sit still, especially when it comes to fishing; the purpose is too obvious.
Which of the young people nowadays is not a resident of bars and KTVs? Even if they stay at home, they hold their phones and wish they could keep their eyes glued to the screen 24 hours a day.
Those who can be patient and enjoy fishing are mostly mature, even for older people like them.
Young people rarely have this hobby; some can’t sit still, and some don’t have the conditions. For example, his son Lu Yunfeng used to accompany him fishing, but he kept receiving calls during the period, which made him annoyed and scared away all the fish.
Later, Lu Yunfeng stopped accompanying him, not because he didn’t want to, but because Mr. Lu was annoyed by him.
So, when he suddenly saw two young people coming to fish in such a grandiose manner, one of whom was the new general manager of Jiazhao who was “seeking” his son, Mr. Lu couldn’t help but over-scrutinize their purpose.
To be honest, if the two really open up, for the sake of their grandparents, Mr. Lu would really mention it to his son to see if he could cooperate with Jiazhao for another year, after all, they had some friendship in the early years.
But these two kids were really patient. They actually kept their mouths shut and fished in a serious manner.
Are they baiting the fish or him? It must be him.
Mr. Lu looked delighted and thought to himself, ‘Wait, wait a little longer.’ Let’s see how long they can hold back.
However, the actual situation is that Qin Chaoyan was calm as the lake and had almost finished half of the paper. He didn’t even know who the old man next door was.
Ye Rongxu appeared to be patient, but in reality, his eyes were staring intently at the fish float, equally unaware of the rich inner world of the old man next door.
Suddenly, the float moved, and Ye Rongxu’s eyes lit up. He waited for two seconds and immediately lifted the rod.
With a “pop,” a finger-long fish leaped out of the water, leaving a silver light.
The bodyguards immediately flattered: “Young Master is really amazing. You caught a fish as soon as you arrived.”
“This is just the beginning. You can catch a bigger one later.”
Beside him, Qin Chaoyan and Mr. Lu heard the movement and turned their heads to look over.
Ye Rongxu was very happy and was about to say something modest, but with a “pop,” the fish fell back, leaving only the fishing line dangling on the water.
Ye Rongxu: “…”
The bodyguards: “…”
Qin Chaoyan silently retracted his gaze and wisely remained silent.
Mr. Lu couldn’t help but say happily, “Kid, you need to be patient when fishing. If you pulled it up as soon as it took the bait, the hook would slip.”
Ye Rongxu glared at the lake angrily.
How could he not know? He was just too happy and forgot for a moment.
But the old man was kind enough to tell him, so he said thanks and asked Chen Jiang to help him put on the bait. He then beautifully cast the rod and continued to wait.
The lakeside was quiet again.
Mr. Lu, who thought they would take the opportunity to chat with him and sneakily mention the company’s affairs: “…”
After a while, he turned to the assistant beside him and said in a low voice: “These two kids are very patient.”
His tone was obviously emotional.
The assistant smiled and said nothing.
Ten minutes later, Qin Chaoyan’s fishing float moved.
He was doing his homework with his head down, as if he didn’t notice anything. When the timing was right, he suddenly raised his hand to lift the rod. A palm-sized fish was immediately thrown onto the shore and jumped on the grass.
The bodyguard hurried forward to pick up the fish and put it in the bucket. Adhering to the principle of praising the son-in-law, he also flattered: “Mr. Qin is amazing.”
“You caught such a big fish so quickly. Surely you will catch a bigger one later… uh.”
Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard suddenly felt a chill on his back. As soon as he turned his head, he met the cold eyes of the young master Ye.
Chen Jiang stood up straight behind the young master’s wheelchair. Upon seeing this, he gave him a disdainful glance.
The bodyguard was shocked. After putting the fish in the bucket, he hurried to the shore to wash his hands and stood back to Ye Rongxu’s side.
Ye Rongxu looked at the fish with some envy, but… it doesn’t matter; this is just the beginning; didn’t he almost catch one just now?
After comforting himself, he retracted his gaze and patiently waited for the fish to bite the hook.
However, more than ten minutes later, Qin Chaoyan’s float moved again.
He finished writing the last stroke on the paper, calmly lifted the rod, and a fish jumped out of the water, bigger than the one just now.
Ye Rongxu: “…”
He looked at it eagerly, envious and depressed in his heart.
This shouldn’t be the case. He followed the methods taught by the predecessors on the Internet for every step, and he also cast the bait carefully. How could he do worse than Qin Chaoyan?
It was accidental; it must have been accidental.
Besides, he fished for self-cultivation, not for fish, so he had to be calm and not care about gains and losses.
After comforting himself for a while, he continued to stare at his float.
But sometimes, fishing seems to depend on luck. Five minutes later, Qin Chaoyan caught another fish. Twenty minutes later, Qin Chaoyan caught another one…
After nearly twenty minutes, Qin Chaoyan even caught a two-jin3One jin is 500 grams. big crucian carp.
Not only Ye Rongxu, but Mr. Lu was also not calm. Especially when he saw the two-jin big crucian carp, he was so envious that he almost put down his fishing rod and went to watch.
As a fisherman with more than a year of fishing experience, he immediately recognized that it was a naturally grown crucian carp. In natural waters, it takes at least five to eight years for a native crucian carp to grow so big, and the number is small and rarely caught.
As an “air-force” specialist fisherman in the fishing world, Mr. Lu has only seen his old friends catch one and post on Wechat moments. None of them were even as big as this one.
If he catches this, takes a photo, and posts it on WeChat Moments, wow, wow, wouldn’t those old guys be jealous to death?
The more Mr. Lu thought about it, the more he drifted away. When he saw that the fish was in Qin Chaoyan’s bucket, not in his own bucket, he calmed down.
He turned around and called the assistant again, lowering his voice and saying, “These two kids are very patient.”
It has been so long, and they haven’t come close to him.
The assistant coughed lightly, glanced at Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan, and thought to himself: Could it be that we all guessed wrong, and they are just here to fish?
He was just hesitating whether to speak out about this idea when he heard Mr. Lu lowering his voice again: “Do you think he wants to attract me with his fishing skills first, and when I’m convinced, it will be easier to discuss things?”
Assistant: “Cough, cough!”
Mr. Lu: “Maybe he wants to give me that big crucian carp.”
Why else would he show off in front of him then?
What a scheming junior, hmph! But he had to say that he was definitely intrigued. Who told him to be an “air-force” fisherman who went out to fish ten times and returned with an empty bucket seven or eight times?
“If he really gives me that fish later and tells me fishing techniques, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to help him.” Mr. Lu pondered, “By the way, when I get the fish later, do you think I should refuse it or take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments?”
Right now, he was even imagining the envious look of his fellow fishermen friends.
Ha, who said he would always come up empty-handed? Fishermen never admit defeat; if they can’t catch anything, they will buy it back.
The assistant was silent and speechless.
At this time, Qin Chaoyan suddenly put down the fishing rod and stood up.
Mr. Lu immediately became alert: Here it comes.
He quickly sat up straight, put on a serious expression, and glanced at Qin Chaoyan’s…fish bucket from time to time, looking forward to it, as if the big crucian carp would be in his bucket in the next second.
However, Qin Chaoyan didn’t walk towards the bucket but walked towards Ye Rongxu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Mr. Lu: “?”
Calm down, wait, and wait a little longer. He continued to be calm.
On the other hand, Ye Rongxu fished for a long time but didn’t catch even a small hairtail fish. He was depressed.
The bodyguards standing behind him didn’t dare to breathe, for fear that the young master would think that they had disturbed the fish.
When Qin Chaoyan came over, Ye Rongxu only looked up and said sullenly: “What are you doing here?”
He was so angry. Why did Qin Chaoyan catch one after another, but he didn’t catch a single one? He was seriously making bait… No, Uncle Chen made the bait, so it must be that the bait was not made well.
Young Master Ye made excuses randomly.
But Qin Chaoyan didn’t seem to be making bait… Alas, the only consolation now is that the old grandpa next door is not as good as him.
He almost caught one, but the old man’s fishing rod didn’t even move.
Qin Chaoyan could see that he was in a depressed mood, but still reminded him, “You should get up and stand for a while.”
Chen Jiang looked at him gratefully when he heard it.
He had actually reminded him of this just now, but Ye Rongxu was sulking because Qin Chaoyan caught a big fish and he didn’t, so he kept staring at the float and ignored his reminder.
Chen Jiang had been following him for a long time and knew clearly that Young Master Ye’s temper was usually good, but once he became stubborn, he was very difficult to mess with.
So when he saw Qin Chaoyan come to persuade him, he was quite relieved.
However, it was useless for Qin Chaoyan to come this time. Ye Rongxu said in a depressed tone, “Don’t make noise; I’m fishing.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He looked at the fish float that didn’t move at all, leaned over, and said: “If you don’t stand up, the blood will not circulate and bedsores will form…”
Ye Rongxu knew better than him, but he couldn’t catch any fish. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he was. He said anxiously, “Don’t stand here; you’ll scare away the fish.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He finally figured it out. Fishing is not for self-cultivation. The more you fish, the more anxious you get.
“I’ll give you the fish, and when we get home, we’ll say you caught them all, okay?” He leaned over to coax him.
Ye Rongxu immediately pricked up his ears, his eyes wandering.
Seeing that it seemed to work, Qin Chaoyan quickly said, “I’ll give you that big crucian carp too.”
Mr. Lu, who was eavesdropping and waiting for him to deliver the fish: “?”
Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like what I’m doing. Thank you for reading! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
