Tomorrow he will be back. How should we handle this? Throwing the documents onto the table, it was clear that both Old Kong and Old Wen were also troubled by this mess.
Old Kong had already reminded Old Liu to advise Liu Xiaoguang, but who would have thought that the kid had become so foolish from studying that he dared to run in front of Shi Ye, confidently demanding technology?
The truth was right there, but the question was whether Shi Ye would believe it! If they were in Shi Ye's position, they certainly wouldn’t believe it!
What else could they do? Apologize! First, they needed to do what they were supposed to do before tackling the problem! After finishing a cup of tea, Old Wen sighed.
Such matters couldn't be resolved with cunning; sincerity was required. They needed to apologize sincerely and wait for Shi Ye to set the terms. Only then could they completely resolve this issue.
Were they afraid of Shi Ye? Certainly not, given their standing. But conversely, Shi Ye wasn’t afraid of them either.
In the evening, Li Yunlong rarely finished work on time. Li Yunfei was taking Hu Shuyi away since Shi Ye would be back tomorrow; they had to head to Sanya.
“Brother, shall we go fishing?” As soon as he entered, Li Yunlong immediately invited him.
Although he had only been fishing once, Li Yunlong had already developed a liking for it. Especially after seeing so many envious glances when he carried fish through the neighborhood yesterday afternoon, he felt a twinge of jealousy.
“Don’t lose focus!” Li Yunfei reminded him as he swiftly gathered his gear and headed outside.
“You’re leaving tomorrow; let’s fish one more time! Who knows when we’ll get to fish together again!” Li Yunlong explained as he took the Rod Case from Li Yunfei’s hands, measuring its length in his mind—there would definitely be no problem fitting it in his car.
Once the rod was placed inside, they both settled into the car and drove leisurely toward the riverbank.
Using yesterday’s spot as a reference, Li Yunlong diligently learned how to set up his line from Li Yunfei. He copied him closely, securing the line properly. With a worm attached, he pulled out the rod and gently cast it into the grassy pit.
Watching the Seven Star Float on the water’s surface, he felt a tug; a carp came up—what a great start!
Skillfully unhooking and retrieving the fish, he tossed it into Li Yunfei’s bucket with a hint of challenge in his eyes.
“Brother, I heard that several old gentlemen have been in Sanya recently. Is Shi Ye familiar with them?” As he cast again, Li Yunlong casually inquired.
“A bit familiar. Shi Ye’s nephew is quite close with those old gentlemen; they often drag him along to fish.” He replied casually as the float gently bobbed before settling back down.
“Shi Ye’s nephew? What’s that about?” He had heard of Shi Ye but had never heard of this nephew before.
He ran a fishing tackle shop by the seaside; this rod was from his store.
Mentioning Shi Tian brought satisfaction to Li Yunfei but also some headaches—introducing him to others wouldn’t be easy!
How would he introduce Shi Tian when taking him out? Saying he was Shi Ye's nephew seemed a bit beneath dignity and might lead people to think he was just another rich kid!
If he introduced himself as the owner of a Fishing Tackle Shop, it would be even more unbearable. You, the Old Shi Family, have quite a bit of wealth; not to mention Shi Ye Industries, just getting Shi Tian into that small foreign trade company would sound much better!
Running a Fishing Tackle Shop? Foolish people have their own blessings! A guy who runs a Fishing Tackle Shop gets to hang out with a few old gentlemen every day; I’m starting to envy him a bit.
But he’s not foolish; that kid is sharp! With a glance at Li Yunlong, Li Yunfei quickly defended Shi Tian. One fish after another was caught until Hu Shuyi called them for dinner, and the two reluctantly reeled in their lines.
After stowing their gear in the trunk, they drove to the entrance of the community. Li Yunfei got out, carrying two large half-pound Carp strung together with reeds, and strolled into the neighborhood. Li Yunlong smirked as he drove into the community, made a turn, and then disappeared into the vast sea of people outside.
He wouldn’t be going back tonight; he’d wait until tomorrow night to return after working overtime. By then, Li Yunlong and Hu Shuyi would definitely be in Sanya, leaving the gear in the trunk all for himself.
Just yesterday, Li Yunfei had tried to scare him with the watch incident. Last night he checked; a Star Brand Rod costs over a thousand yuan each—completely different from a watch!
“Bro, you guys eat first; don’t wait for me. I have an urgent meeting to attend tonight; I need to head to Hubei!” After running three miles and smoking a few cigarettes, half an hour later he pulled out his phone and called Li Yunfei. “I’ll just spend the night at work!”
“What do you need my Rod for at your meeting? Where are you now? I’ll come by and pick it up!” When he received Li Qulong’s call, Li Yunfei felt his Rod was in danger!
He had been careless, thinking that Li Yunlong wouldn’t fish and wouldn’t have any thoughts about his Rod. He didn’t expect that this kid would truly become obsessed with his hobbies!
“I’m already on the highway. Just give me an address when you can; I’ll send it back to you. Can’t talk while driving; it’s unsafe. Let’s leave it at that!” After saying this, he hung up the phone, turned around to get out of the car, opened the trunk, and with both hands opened the Rod Case—these two Rods would now belong to Long Ge!
