Chapter 42 - fishing
Yuyou received a call from Wei Lao and asked them to meet at the entrance of the aquarium.
When the two came to the meeting point, they saw a middle-aged man in a waistcoat standing beside Wei Lao. The man raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Lu Jingyi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Xiaoyu, Xiaolu, this is Mr. Ouyang Hui, the owner of the aquarium.” Wei Lao introduced with a smile, “Mr. Ouyang, these are my two juniors, Yu You and Lu Jingyi, I have nothing to do today, so I will just Bring them over here.”
“Lu Jingyi?” Ouyang Hui looked at Lu Jingyi in surprise, “You are…”
“I’m Chu Gaoyi’s grandson. I used to hear your grandfather mention you. This aquarium has developed very well under your management.” Lu Jingyi replied.
Ouyang Hui’s expression immediately became a little restrained: “Everywhere, it is Mr. Chu’s love.”
“So you know each other.” Wei Lao looked at the two curiously.
“Well, Mr. Ouyang is a talent that my grandfather admired during his lifetime.” Lu Jingyi’s grandfather is a returned overseas Chinese. He has been doing business in the mainland for decades, and he has laid a huge foundation. After his death, he left most of his inheritance. His son and daughter, only this aquarium, were given to Lu Jingyi, who just turned 18, as a birthday present.
It’s just that Lu Jingyi was busy with his studies at the time and seldom participated in the affairs of the aquarium. Except to check the accounts and operations, he was usually ignored. Most managers didn’t know him, and even Wei Lao didn’t know that this was his business. .
Aquariums are not a lucrative industry. On the contrary, many aquariums are in a state of loss because the maintenance costs are too high. The reason why this aquarium can continue to operate mainly depends on the income of the water park and the support of caring people.
“It’s my honor to be appreciated by Mr. Chu.” Ouyang Hui respected Chu Gaoyi very much, and naturally he was also respectful to his grandson, not to mention that he was his own boss.
“Okay, since we’re all acquaintances, then don’t be polite, let’s go to dinner together.” Elder Wei waved his hand, interrupting the two of them.
“There’s a nice restaurant nearby. I’m the host today, and a few of you can eat whatever you want.” Ouyang Hui said cheerfully, and finally gave Lu Jingyi a special look.
Lu Jingyi kept his face still, took Yuyou’s hand, and followed Wei Lao and Ouyang into an elegant restaurant.
At this time, Ouyang Hui’s cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and listened for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Jingyi and the others, and asked in a consultative tone, “I have an old friend coming over, I wonder if you would mind adding more. seat?”
“Of course there’s no problem, you just let your friends come over.” Wei Lao likes to be lively, just have a meal, and is not so particular about it.
Ouyang Hui looked at Lu Jingyi again, the latter smiled and said, “You can do whatever you want.”
“Thank you very much.” Ouyang Hui then replied to the other party.
Wei Lao took the time to say to Lu Jingyi, “Why do I think Ouyang’s attitude towards you is a little too attentive?”
Lu Jingyi paused and told the truth: “Probably because I’m the owner of the Fantasy Aquarium.”
“What? You are…” Elder Wei glared at him and said angrily, “Okay, you lied to me for so long. I knew that the aquarium was your property, so I won’t donate.”
Lu Jingyi complimented: “Thanks to caring people like you, the Aquarium can sustain itself. If you don’t donate, it will definitely be a huge loss for our aquarium.”
“Hmph.” Elder Wei didn’t want to look away, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
Several people walked into the box, took their seats, and ordered orders. After about six or seven minutes, two more people pushed the door open. The man in front had white hair and was in good spirits. Behind him was a girl in her twenties, who was pretty and lovely.
Yuyou glanced at random, didn’t recognize him, lowered his head and continued drinking tea.
However, Lu Jingyi recognized the girl as Su Wenxuan’s best friend Zhuo Jingqiao.
Ouyang Hui got up and introduced: “This is Boss Xiao Huan, who is in charge of Ningwan Fishery Farm. That beautiful girl is Boss Xiao’s granddaughter, Miss Zhuo Jingqiao.”
Wei Lao politely greeted them.
Ouyang Hui invited the two of them to be seated, and said with a smile, “Some of the ornamental fish in our aquarium are from Boss Xiao’s fishery. They are of good quality and affordable.”
“Haha, the fry produced by our fishery are naturally good.” Xiao Huan was not polite, and smiled boldly.
When Wei Lao heard that he was the owner of the fishery, he couldn’t help but chat with him.
On the other side, Zhuo Jingqiao also got close to Lu Jingyi: “Long time no see, Brother Lu.”
Lu Jingyi nodded coldly.
“Miss Yu, we meet again.” Zhuo Jingqiao looked at Yu You again.
“Hello.” Yuyou didn’t recognize her face, but she still remembered her name, and they had BBQ together on the beach before.
“Are you free in the afternoon? Do you want to go shopping at my fish farm after dinner?” Zhuo Jingqiao suggested.
Without waiting for Lu Jingyi to refuse, Xiao Huan interjected, “Yes, Mr. Wei, Ouyang, will you go fishing at my fishery this afternoon?”
Wei Lao and Ouyang Hui both like fishing, so they are naturally willing to make an appointment.
Lu Jingyi asked Yu You, “Would you like to take a look?”
Yuyou nodded casually.
Zhuo Jing couldn’t help but smile when she saw them agree.
After lunch, Xiao Huan took a few people to Ningwan Fishing Farm, which was only a dozen kilometers away.
Xiao Huan operates a relatively traditional offshore fishing farm, built near the sea, with a wide field of vision. Dozens of fishing boats shuttle in and out of the sea, and frames of fresh fish are placed on the shore, and flocks of seabirds fly by. Coveted the plump food below.
Wei Lao sighed: “Ah, the scenery here is really good.”
Xiao Huan called a young man and asked him to prepare a few fishing rods for everyone.
There are special fishing places in the offshore fishing grounds, and many fishing enthusiasts come here every year. You can find a variety of fish such as snapper, blue trevally, golden thread, flounder, bamboo fish, tuna, pomfret, etc.
Yuyou stood on the shore with a fishing rod, looking at the slightly turbid water, but did not move for a long time.
“What are you dazed about?” Lu Jingyi pulled her to his side and sat down, helping her with the bait, “Have you ever caught fish before?”
Yuyou shook his head.
“I guess so too.” Lu Jingyi smiled vaguely, “Try it, maybe you will be interested.”
Yuyou learned his movements, threw the fishing line out, and then sat quietly on the bench, sweeping the waters with his divine sense, and there were still a lot of fish.
“Miss Yu, haven’t you ever fished before?” Zhuo Jingqiao sat down on the other side of Lu Jingyi and smiled, “It doesn’t matter, the fish here are easy to bite, and you don’t need too high skills, as long as you are patient, you will surely get results. .”
Yu You’s face was calm and she sat evenly, as if she didn’t hear her words.
A flash of unhappiness flashed in Zhuo Jingqiao’s eyes, just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly saw a man walking slowly towards this side, her eyes lit up, she then retracted her gaze and fished quietly.
“Excuse me, can I sit here?” The man came to Yuyou and asked politely.
Yuyou turned his head and saw the two long straight legs first, then the eight-pack abs exposed under the open shirt, and finally a handsome face full of vigor.
“You are free.” Yuyou’s gaze stopped for a moment at his neck, where a necklace made of fish bones hung.
“Thank you.” The man opened a sunshade and stood between him and Yuyou, enveloping the two of them, while Lu Jingyi was excluded and instantly became an irrelevant passerby.
Lu Jingyi’s brows narrowed and he looked at the man with a stern gaze.
The man is about twenty-four or five years old. He has the most popular small fresh flesh face, with handsome eyebrows, a sunny smile, and a tall stature. He is the type that can easily make women crazy.
“My name is ‘Song Huai’, how about you?” the man asked while putting on the bait.
“Yuyou.” Yuyou stared at the water without squinting.
“Is it your first time here to fish?”
“Um.”
“No wonder I have never seen you before.” Song Huai looked at her profile and smiled, “If I have seen it, I will never forget it, your eyes are very beautiful.”
Lu Jingyi tightened his fingers, resisting the urge to draw a fishing rod. To molest his woman in front of his face is simply dead and alive!
Yuyou glanced at him in confusion, but said nothing.
“I’ll give you the first fish I caught, just be a friend. I hope you don’t dislike it.” Song Huai didn’t care about Yuyou’s taciturnity, and was still enthusiastic.
Zhuo Jingqiao, who was a few meters away, gave him a compliment secretly. As expected of the gold medal cowherd, she was indeed a good girl at seducing her.
Song Huai threw out the fishing line handsomely, turned his head to Yuyou and said confidently, “I will definitely help you catch the biggest fish.”
Yuyou didn’t even move her brows, she concentrated on fishing.
Lu Jingyi’s face was calm, and he no longer paid attention to Song Huai.
Five minutes later, a 6-7 catty goldfish lingered beside Song Huai’s hook. Just as he was about to bite the hook, Yuyou moved his fingers lightly, and there were shallow ripples on the surface of the water, and the goldfish ran away in a swish.
At this time, Lu Jingyi’s fishing rod sank, and he slowly caught a flounder weighing about three pounds.
“Ah, Brother Lu is amazing.” Zhuo Jingqiao praised happily.
However, Lu Jingyi frowned. It was too small, so he threw it into his bucket and continued to go down the pole.
Song Huai glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
But after a while, two more fish swam to his hook, one more than six pounds and the other more than four pounds.
Yuyou squinted his eyes, and the two fish rushed away immediately.
Five minutes later, Lu Jingyi caught another tuna weighing more than two kilograms. Still dissatisfied, he continued to fish.
At the same time, another three-pound fish was about to bite Song Huai’s hook, but Yuyou ran away without changing his face.
Five minutes later, Lu Jingyi pulled up his rod again and caught a four-pound dolphin.
This time, Song Huai was not calm. On average, people get a fish every five minutes, but there is no movement on my side. what happened? Did the fish run to him?
Song Huai retracted the fishing line and re-applied the bait. He was bound to catch a big fish.
After changing the bait, the effect was immediate, and several fish came around, including a tuna weighing more than seven pounds.
Yuyou frowned: [Flicker away. 】
The fishes immediately fled away.
At this time, Lu Jingyi felt that the fishing rod was heavy, the fishing line was stretched, his pupils shrank slightly, and he slowly retracted the line.
“It’s definitely a big fish this time!” Zhuo Jingqiao stood up and stared at the water with joy.
Her voice attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked this way.
“Steady, steady!” someone shouted in a low voice.
But after a while, the silver-white fish gradually emerged from the water.
“Ah, it’s Zhuyingyu.”
“Good guy, at least ten pounds.”
Lu Jingyi finally exerted his strength and finally took the bamboo fish, which was almost arm-length, into his pocket.
Several people came to help and put the fish into the large water basin next to it, and the powerful force splashed a burst of water, which caused everyone to exclaim.
The corners of Lu Jingyi’s mouth rose slightly, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking at Yuyou with a dashing attitude: “Give it to you.”
“Thank you.” Yu You smiled slightly, hiding her merit and fame.
Song Huai: “…”
The first fish that was promised to be given to Yuyou is impossible to have today.
