To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools! The New Year is here, so why not treat yourself a little better? Buying a few rods for yourself wouldn’t be a bad idea, right? With that thought, Shi Tian turned and headed into the store; he didn’t have time to chat here with the old man—Kang Ziyu was still waiting outside!
After browsing around the store, he casually leaned against the counter. He wasn’t the type to cut in line; he was a person of morals!
“Xinjie! I’ll take care of the bill for Table Ten!” Seeing a server approaching to settle the payment, Shi Tian quickly stopped her.
“Wait a moment, don’t process that bill yet! Table Ten is my friend. I’ll bring him some things, and I’ll pay for this table later!” He stopped the cashier and headed straight for Table Ten.
Fan Zhan could handle money matters without any trouble! At the table, he noticed two elderly people with a little child; this would be easy!
“Sir, have you finished your meal? We’re running a promotion at our restaurant, and your table gets a free meal! You must come back often!”
“Free meal?” Upon hearing this, the old lady’s eyes lit up. “Can we order a few more dishes then?”
Hearing “free meal,” the old lady suddenly felt hungry again, thinking she could eat just a bit more—after all, if they couldn’t finish it, they could always take it home!
“That might not be possible! The lottery is based on the order of payment. If you order more dishes now and someone pays later, you’ll lose your chance at the free meal!” Rubbing his nose, Shi Tian said seriously.
As soon as she heard it was based on payment order, the old lady immediately stood up. “We’ve already finished eating; we can settle it right now, right?”
She wouldn’t easily give away a meal worth her time!
“Yes, we can settle it directly!” With a slight smile, Shi Tian bent down and extended his hand. “Please!”
The three of them stood up, and Shi Tian immediately sat down. Once they left, he called over a server to order some dishes and make sure to hold that table!
“Xiao Yu, bring some people over! There’s space inside now; if anyone stops them, just say they’re looking for friends!” He made a call to Kang Ziyu and instructed the server to clear away their things—now it was just waiting for this group to come over and order!
Friends? Of course they were friends if money was involved! Who would dare disagree? Let them find those elderly folks and confront them face-to-face! Would it be the server or the manager who disagreed? That would be even easier—just check who paid for that bill!
A few old men were sharing cake with Yi Laotou. The cake was quite large; after two days they still hadn’t finished it. Now a big crowd had arrived to start dividing up the details!
With no one to play with Yi Laotou didn’t feel lonely. Sun Lang’s restaurant had opened, and Yi Laotou was busy as ever—he didn’t even have time to fish!
“Take it easy there! They don’t need daily guidance on what they’re doing wrong; there’s no need to hang around here every day!” Shi Tian advised Yi Laotou as Sun Lang’s restaurant finally opened.
“I’m just passing time because I’m bored during the New Year! Now that this place is open, it’s no longer my concern. I can go fishing tomorrow.” Dao Wan had made quite an impression; he wanted to cast a few lines tomorrow! Looking at his phone’s social media, Yi Laotou said to Shi Tian.
Sun Lang had sent out news about new products in their group; after the New Year, prices would return to normal. The sales volume in-store had been quite impressive these past couple of days—it even delayed listings online.
“Oh! Let Lao Shi accompany you! I have a Smart Fishing Rod in the trunk of my Electric Mini; the keys are in the garage. You can take that rod over first!”
“But please don’t take it back with you! If Old Kong and the others see it, they’ll definitely want one too. Right now we don’t have that much stock; once production increases, I’ll order each of you a customized Smart Rod!”
As soon as Shi Tian spoke, Yi Laotou felt quite pleased, even a bit smug! This disciple was worth taking in; he was more affectionate towards him than those old men!
Rest assured, they wouldn't have time to fish in the next few days! The rod could stay in the car; whenever they decided to go fishing, he would just go and grab it! With the Smart Rod, the fish around the villa area no longer seemed appealing. It was much more comfortable to fish in places where one could truly enjoy the experience!
It was like grabbing a Red Envelope; if you gave me a dime, I might not even look at it. But if there were a few cents to grab in a group chat, I could be entertained for quite a while!
“Master! When you go fishing at Dao Wan, don't bother with those Xia Er anymore; the Smart Rod will show you everything! My dad has the bait for it; just ask him for a portion later. Using Xia Er as bait and regular Live Shrimp for fishing, if you hook a big Shi Ban, there will definitely be a line of people waiting to tip!”
After scrolling through Social Media, he noticed that there weren't many big fish shared recently, and there were hardly any Shi Ban at all.
The Electric Car Guy had shared a large Shi Ban; that was too easy for him—it's his specialty! He had a good relationship with Sun Lang, so it was likely that Sun Lang had informed him about the Smart Rod. One big Shi Ban earned him three Ten Dollar tips just to see its location. In just half a day, he had already raked in over four hundred dollars in tips. At this rate, the rod would pay for itself in no time!
Just then, speaking of the Electric Car Guy, he arrived! He parked his car at the entrance, holding the rod in his left hand and a five-pound Shi Ban in his right. As soon as he walked in, everyone turned to give him their attention!
