110: Chapter 110 I Love Money So Much

"Let's see who's willing to take the bait!"

The two of them held bamboo poles.

A single line.

A single hook.

To describe it in one word—primitive!

"Come on, let's see which of us catches more."

The Production Team had already checked in with the fish pond owner and paid a small fee.

They were allowed to fish as much as they wanted.

How many fish could they possibly catch anyway!

The two each had a bucket and stood ten meters apart.

Neither of them spoke.

Chen Yu felt that this was great; he was getting paid just to stay silent.

Even if it wasn't a lot of money.

Ten minutes passed.

Chen Yu looked toward Huang Lei.

The other man was very patient; by the looks of it, he was almost falling asleep.

Chen Yu shook his head!

Suddenly!

A force suddenly tugged at the fishing rod in Chen Yu's hand!

"Something's biting!"

Chen Yu quickly gripped it!

Huang Lei was startled!

He had almost fallen asleep.

Hmm?

Chen Yu caught a fish?

How was he faster than him?

Chen Yu caught a silver carp, about five kilograms.

A victory right at the start!

Huang Lei wasn't sleepy anymore. He was being outperformed by a junior; how could he let that stand?!

He concentrated intently!

His expression was focused, completely losing himself in the task!

A short while later, Chen Yu came over to him.

"Teacher Huang."

"Hmm? What is it, Chen Yu?"

"Can I borrow your bucket for a moment?"

"What for?"

"My bucket is full."

"What?!" Huang Lei's voice cracked.

It's only been a few minutes!

"For real? Are you actually that good?"

Huang Lei had even secretly thrown some bait at his spot, but all the fish ended up at Chen Yu's place.

"Fine, take it and use it."

"Um, how about we swap spots?"

Chen Yu was just doing it for fun, not for a competition, and he had already caught enough.

"No problem, you go fish at my spot. I'll go wander around."

Chen Yu was ready to stop; too much was as bad as too little.

"Deal!" Huang Lei was overjoyed.

This kid is so sensible!

"Good, good, good!" Huang Lei couldn't wait to switch spots.

Twenty minutes after Chen Yu left.

Huang Lei scratched his head. Where were the fish?

[Hahaha. Huang Lei doesn't actually think it was a problem with the spot, does he?]

[Looks like fish pick handsome guys to take the bait.]

[A fish would rather be killed than insulted. If they were cooked by Huang Lei, they'd have no face to show other fish.]

[I'm going to watch Chen Yu. I guess Huang Lei is hopeless.]

What was Chen Yu doing?

Chen Yu was eating fish in a shady spot.

He had been chatting with the owner, and the conversation eventually turned to food.

The owner simply decided to show off his skills for him.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

"Boss, your cooking is amazing! You could open a restaurant!"

"To tell you the truth, I used to be a chef. Working in the smoke and fire every day was nowhere near as relaxing as this."

"That's true." Chen Yu took a large bite of meat.

"Soak some rice in the broth; now that's authentic!"

"Mm! Incredible!"

Seeing Chen Yu eating with such gusto, the owner got hungry himself.

So he sat down to eat with Chen Yu.

[Chen Yu really knows how to enjoy himself. Fishing is nothing compared to eating fish.]

[Chen Yu is popular wherever he goes. This boss is almost grinning from ear to ear from all the praise.]

[This is the art of language. Chen Yu has high EQ; he can get along anywhere.]

Seeing that he couldn't catch any fish, Huang Lei wanted to head back.

He secretly took one out of Chen Yu's bucket, so now his own bucket had two.

Chen Yu probably wouldn't notice.

Thinking about it, a fox-like smile appeared on Huang Lei's face.

The old fox!

[Caught one doing something bad!]

[If I can't catch it, I'll take it. If I can't take it, I'll steal it!]

[There's no man who doesn't stray!]

[Is the person above me right?]

Meanwhile, at the watermelon field.

Li Fang's legs were already weak.

His back felt like it was about to break.

"I can't go on, I can't go on. I need to rest." Li Fang sat down on the ground.

He didn't care if it was dirty or messy anymore.

He really couldn't stand up. He hadn't been this tired even when hitting high notes at a concert!

"Then let's take a break!" Teacher He said, also panting.

He was already at such an age, yet he was assigned to do farm work.

"When we go back tonight, we'll pick out two watermelons to cool us down."

They had already been working for an hour. They were covered in sweat, and their faces were beet red.

"Teacher He, did I get heatstroke? Why do I feel a bit dizzy?" Li Fang panted heavily.

"Me too, I'm a bit dizzy." Lan Minghua fanned himself with his hand.

"So hot, so hot!"

Meimei was so tired her tongue was practically hanging out.

If she had known, she would have gone fishing.

For a girl like her, it was quite a hardship.

Page Jun Feng no longer had the elegance of a piano performer; he sat on a melon without any regard for his image.

He didn't sit steadily.

He slipped off.

"I'm saying, this many watermelons should be enough, right?"

They had picked at least dozens of them!

And they still had to put the watermelons into the tricycle.

"Fine, let's stop at this many!"

Teacher He gritted his teeth. Why should he have to do so much!

With his small arms and legs.

Not eating well or sleeping well every day!

Even a nice guy has days when he can't take it anymore!

"Come on, let's go sell watermelons!"

The small town wasn't far.

They went to the town and started shouting their wares.

Hardly anyone in town recognized them.

This made Li Fang very dissatisfied; it seemed his influence still wasn't big enough.

"Teacher He, think of something. We haven't sold a single one after all this time," Page Jun Feng said helplessly.

He was also on the verge of heatstroke.

"How about we go sell them to a supermarket!"

Arriving at a supermarket, Teacher He activated his silver tongue.

"These melons are home-grown and absolutely delicious. Look at you, you're as beautiful as a celestial being, as lovely as a flower. Eating this melon will surely keep you young forever..."

The proprietress listened with delight, her face turning red.

"Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

"Don't worry, if it's not ripe, you can get a refund from our Production Team."

"I don't know your Production Team."

After much persuasion, the supermarket finally bought two watermelons.

In the end, having no other choice, the melons were bought by the Production Team.

"That's fine too. At least our funds will be abundant from now on."

Hearing this, Page Jun Feng thought: *Even if you're rich later, I won't be around to enjoy it.*

"Teacher He, I want to eat barbecue!"

Uh, how could someone already be eyeing the money they just got.

"Ah, well, let's buy one skewer each to try then." Teacher He was also craving it himself.

After being tired all afternoon, couldn't they enjoy themselves a bit?

On the way back to the small courtyard, Huang Lei and Chen Yu were walking.

"I saw the trending searches a couple of days ago. Is it true you won a million on a scratch-off?"

"It's true."

"Have you ever thought about donating it?"

"I have, but I just love money too much. I can't bear to let it go!"

"Teacher Huang, you must have quite a lot of savings after all these years. Have you ever thought about donating it?"

Chen Yu turned the tables.

Looking at Chen Yu's face, which seemed to be humbly seeking advice, Huang Lei didn't know if he should say what was on his mind.

You little brat, you're quite wicked!

Chen Yu's expression made it impossible to tell if he was being sarcastic or sincere.

Bullet Chat: [Chen Yu really makes it impossible to find fault. If you say he's impolite, he's using honorifics, and his face looks so sincere.]

[In reality, Teacher Huang just got shut down. There aren't many people who can make him lose face.]

[He's just pulling rank based on age. It's only because it's Chen Yu; otherwise, Huang Lei would have roasted them over a fire.]

[Who does Chen Yu think he is? So disrespectful, talking to an elder like that?]
