Shi Tian was once again concocting a scheme, this time involving a piece of sun-protective clothing, and he was eager to create a Star Brand Army. Speaking in front of the camera made it inconvenient for Liu Lei to delve deeper into the topic.
He tossed the clothes Shi Tian had thrown to him over his shoulder, contemplating how to negotiate a lower price for them. As for the endorsement deal with Xing Brand, that was out of the question; it was exclusive to the stars. Despite their silence and frequent absences, the booth was always bustling with activity, and the average number of people online could rival his total fan count—clearly, they were on a different level.
Without an endorsement deal, he could at least promote himself at the booth, but that would require some promotional funds! Noticing that Shi Tian was also starting to reel in his line, Black Pit Boss made an appearance to assert his presence. He stood behind the camera with two bottles of water in hand, and Liu Lei waved him over.
"It's getting hot; I've already had my fill of watermelon. Let's enjoy some inside while cooling off with the air conditioning!" Originally, they had come fishing with fruits to share, but after witnessing the speed at which this group was catching fish, he had lost his composure and forgotten to bring out the prepared fruits.
Were these people some kind of livestock? They were catching fish one after another. In just three hours, several had already switched to their second Yu Hu. Liu Lei was even more impressive; in just three hours, he had caught three Yu Hus. If he hadn't started reeling in his line, he probably would have caught a fourth by now.
"How's it going, boss? Feeling overwhelmed?" Shi Tian teased. "But don't blame me; blame Brother Lei. Look at how many he's caught! If everyone fished like me and only caught one or two, you'd be making a fortune today." He reached out for the water in the boss's hand and chuckled.
"If I hadn't just seen Brother Lei's stream, I might have believed you!" The Fishing Pond Boss shot Shi Tian a glance, struggling to recall when Shi Tian had ever fished at his Fishing Spot.
His Fishing Spot had only been open for a week; he had served all the customers with fruits, so they all left some impression. Besides, he hadn’t encountered Da Gui during these days!
Being called out by the boss didn’t faze Shi Tian at all. He glanced at Liu Lei, who was reveling in his mischief, and sighed. "Boss, seeing how many fish Brother Lei has caught makes me feel sorry for you."
"I can't speak for his fish; I can only offer you mine as a gesture. The fish I caught won’t be returning; I'll just release them back into the pond—how about that?" He lifted his Yu Hu and poured two fish back into the lake. After putting away his Yu Hu, he turned to Liu Lei.
"Brother Lei, running a Fishing Spot isn’t easy for the boss. I’ve made my gesture; aren’t you going to do something too? Be generous; your fans are watching!" He grinned mischievously at Liu Lei, trying to stir him up.
"Get lost! Are those fish mine? Aren't they for my clients?"
"You only caught two fish! One of them is Gong Ji's! And you think you can just let them all go?"
While they were bickering back and forth, Oka suddenly pulled her rod back sharply; it bent into an arc as splashes erupted from the water, drawing envious glances from everyone around—another Bighead Carp was on the line.
Ignoring the sounds of surprise coming from all directions, Oka leisurely reeled in the fish. As long as he got through the initial struggle, the fish would be practically secured.
"Boss, you've lost another sheep. Aren't you feeling the pinch?" Shi Tian said, lightly sprinkling a few grains of salt on the boss's wounded heart as he watched the once-smiling face turn dark.
The Fishing Pond Boss remained generous despite being surrounded by this group. Even though they had taken advantage of him, he still offered fruit and cigarettes, and without a word, immediately arranged for the return of the fish.
