During the free advertising time, it didn’t matter how many people were at the booth; they just wanted to get the advertisement out there first! After all, it was just a few words, and even if they only sold one set of gear, it wouldn’t be a loss for them! After being toyed with for so long, it was finally time for them to collect some interest!
Before Shi Tian could finish his introduction, the two couldn’t sit still any longer.
“Boss, enough! I’m learning to fish from you; let’s not talk about the rod anymore! Let’s keep going!”
Seeing Shi Tian’s face darken with frustration, the two were still feeling quite pleased with themselves. The show was definitely reaching its peak. Turning back to Shi Tian, he passionately introduced the fishing gear, while the tension above their heads was palpable.
“You two are applying to be store clerks; you’re selling fishing tackle! Can you please be a bit more professional? If you don’t understand the materials and performance of fishing gear, how can you sell it?”
After giving Xiao Yu a piece of his mind, Shi Tian immediately continued his introduction: “Take this guide ring for example. It may look insignificant, but it’s packed with technology! You know about silicon nitride ceramics, right? But have you heard of ultra-high-density silicon nitride ceramics? Self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, with extreme hardness and strength! Just this tiny guide ring has been the subject of research for over a decade by several PhDs. And you guys have this opportunity but don’t cherish it?”
“Now, let’s talk about this wheel. The technology inside this wheel is even more impressive.”
Watching the two nearly collapse under his relentless enthusiasm, Shi Tian became increasingly animated. He rambled on with jargon and buzzwords, trying to impress them.
“Boss, this isn’t advertising time; we’re here to fish! You’ve hooked a fish on your rod; reel it in quickly!” Although no one cared about the rod after listening to Su Xueyi drone on for so long, at least she had looks on her side! With her beauty alone, someone would surely buy what she was selling.
Shi Tian looked good too, but there weren’t many women at their booth! If he kept going on like this, he might scare everyone away!
With a bend in the rod indicating a catch, Shi Tian felt a tug and quickly locked the drag before reeling in fast. Occasionally, he let a sea bass jump out of the water while still managing to slip in some advertisements.
Shi Tian had thought about getting back at these two by saying that once his advertisement was done, he would edit it nicely only if they paid him; otherwise, he wouldn’t release the final payment. But ultimately he decided against it.
Getting revenge on these two might feel good momentarily, but all that advertising would go to waste!
As a seven or eight-pound sea bass came ashore and just as he was about to speak up, Shi Ye called.
“What’s up, Ye Ge? Why are you calling at this hour? You’re not asking me to go back and cook dinner, are you?”
“Tomorrow take Lao Shi with you to Xisha; you need to supply the Air Force ship!” After saying that, Shi Ye hung up.
Going to Xisha? So sudden? The problem was that they had to supply fuel for the Air Force ship! A box of fuel costs over two hundred thousand! And apparently that money couldn’t be reimbursed by Shi Ye since it was something he promised Shi Chui!
He had just scammed Shi Chui out of over a thousand in the morning and now had to shell out twenty thousand in the evening—what kind of situation was this?
Before heading to Xisha, there was something else that needed handling; he had to connect with Shui Bi Zhang regarding the rod! This matter couldn’t be delayed!
With no time to deal with these two fools anymore, he hurried them back to the store and called Shui Bi Zhang directly to come over for inspection and pickup.
He wouldn't be able to take the rod back today; he would let Shui Bi Zhang come tomorrow to collect it from Sun Lang. After all, they were only fishing for a day and would be back tonight.
Rod in hand, Shui Bi Zhang and Shi Tian took a taxi to the Yacht Dock with a bunch of rods. They were heading out to sea tomorrow, so they needed to sort out their supplies tonight and anchor the Air Force at the hotel.
After finishing the supplies and returning to the villa, it was already past midnight. That wasn’t the main concern; the real issue was that through the vessel's automatic identification system, they saw Cong Jiang Qu Xing rushing back. Judging by its speed, it must have been going full throttle! What time had they been fishing until?
Yi Laotou finally caught a Tuna. Although it weighed less than ten pounds, it was enough to satisfy him for the moment.
Once he caught one, he wanted to catch another. Yi Laotou kept delaying their return time, and it wasn’t until nearly eleven o'clock that they finally decided to head back.
To teach Yi Laotou a lesson, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell drove back at full speed, making sure to rock Yi Laotou until he felt seasick!
“Your boat is a bit unsteady!” Yi Laotou complained as he extinguished his cigarette, glaring at Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell.
It had been calm when they left; why was it so bumpy on the way back? He felt dizzy and slightly nauseous.
“Master, the wind has picked up, and there are waves. Just hang in there; we’ll be there in less than half an hour.” With a smirk, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell replied seriously.
Yi Laotou sensed something; they should be close to hitting their spot. If he timed it right, they would be ready to fish once they returned.
Feeling seasick wasn’t pleasant. After this experience, Yi Laotou would likely think twice before going out to sea again!
“The wind has picked up? That means there’s current! We need to stop the boat and cast a couple of lines; we’re bound to get bites!”
Just hearing that the wind had picked up made Yi Laotou feel more alert; he even wanted to cast a couple of lines. Was it really that effective? It seemed like the boat was still too steady!
“Master, we’re nearshore now; there aren’t any big fish here, and it’s a shipping lane—no fishing allowed!” Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell said quickly before pushing down on the throttle again, increasing their speed.
The lights of the Great Eastern Sea guided Cong Jiang Qu Xing homeward. As they approached the lights, the boat gradually slowed down. Once they docked, Yi Laotou could no longer hold it in and leaned over the side of the boat, retching uncontrollably.
