A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 9 was a great success!

Chapter 9 was a great success!
The area around the reservoir was bustling with activity.

Qi Yue then contacted the shop that sold boxed lunches again and ordered a batch of boxed lunches.

These people also need to eat dinner, and there's nothing else to eat around, so they have to get it from him.

The employees we hired today are all provided with meals. As soon as the boxed lunches arrived, everyone gathered together to eat them.

"Everyone has worked hard. I will pay triple commission to anyone who is willing to stay here tonight."

"It's okay if you want to go back, I'll find someone else."

Qi Yue said to the security personnel and ticket inspectors.

"Boss, how about triple the price?"

Upon hearing this, the hired employees immediately became interested.

"Okay, including the 200 from the daytime, I'll give you 800 by tomorrow morning."

"Just find a bench to sit on by the reservoir."

"If nothing happens, it's okay if you fall asleep."

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, everyone readily agreed to take on the task.

The people we hired were all college students, from the same university.

They were all strong and healthy young men, at an age when they were short of money.

Those who are looking for a partner are especially short of money during their university years.

I heard that I could earn 800 yuan by staying up all night, which is more than half a month's living expenses.

That definitely means I'll have to work overtime!
Night shifts are mandatory.

"Boss, just call us for any events in the future. We'll come as long as it's on the weekend!"

"If there's another event like this, just call us. We can handle as many people as you need!"

The two college graduate employees expressed their opinions.

Such a good boss is hard to find.

After all, college students don't earn much money outside these days.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue nodded in satisfaction.

This is a good thing.

It will be easier to find people if we organize any more events in the future.

These security jobs are all things that college students can do, and they can do them quite well.

"OK, no problem."

"I'll contact you if I need anything in the future."

Qi Yue agreed.

The fishing activity is still ongoing.

When the first group of people came down at 10 p.m., a total of 6 golden arowanas were caught.

Qi Yue paid 60 yuan.

At this time, the second group of night fishermen took over the fishing duties.

People paid to fish for the prize money.

In Qi Yue's eyes, these people were all helping him complete his mission.

Many people have also added Qi Yue on WeChat, saying that if there are similar fishing activities in the future, they should call them, and they will definitely come.

Qi Yue replied with a smile:

"Who knows, we might hold some other events in the future."

Several large lights were turned on beside the reservoir, illuminating the shoreline brightly.

The event was a great success.

Although there were a few minor incidents, such as someone being exposed for faking catching a golden arowana and some customers getting into a fight, none of them were serious.

Qi Yue, wearing a military overcoat, sat in a chair, still present at the scene.

He'll have to stay up late tonight too.

After all, he organized the event, and he was obligated to award prizes to those who caught the golden arowana.

Everyone saw Qi Yue and began to discuss it:

"The owner of this scenic area is an honest man. He's been watching over things the whole time, and he was quick to redeem the bonuses. He's a really nice guy!"

"Yes, the event was originally scheduled to end at 10 p.m., and the prize money of 60 yuan would have been paid out. But a lot of people surrounded him, and they insisted on extending it all night, so they had to pay out another 40 yuan."

"We definitely lost money. The boss is too honest; he really extended the time!"

"Let's hurry up and go fishing, while he's still here. Let's catch a golden arowana and exchange it for 10 yuan with him!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and fish! I want to earn 10 too!"

At this moment, Qi Yue felt very relaxed.

Losing money?

nonexistent.

He made a fortune.

First, there's the ticket money. Daytime tickets are 400 yuan and evening tickets are 320 yuan. All 500 fishing spots have been sold. Even without counting those that were sold at different times, that's already brought in 36 yuan.

Then there are the system's task rewards. Each fish rewards 20, and after deducting the cost of the prizes, you can earn a total of 100 million.

There's also the money earned from boxed meals, drinks, and snacks, which is at least forty or fifty thousand yuan.

Finally, there's the system's popularity score.

The system currently shows that an astonishing 4342 visitors entered the park today, earning 4382 popularity points. Even if a person enters the park multiple times a day, it only counts as one entry, and the count is refreshed again at midnight.

In other words, once 12 o'clock passes, the 500 fishing spots can earn at least another 500 popularity points.

In addition to these, if you catch all 10 golden arowanas, you will receive an extra mission reward.

It's a huge profit.

He leaned back in his chair, squinting as he rested.

I feel very calm.

The scenic area is currently in dire need of development and has virtually nothing left.

With the system in place, the scenic area can be built up step by step.

However, the system is just a tool; it won't give him hundreds of millions just by signing in. So he still has to work hard step by step.

While they were resting, another person caught a golden arowana.

Two men behind him shouted:
"Where's the boss? Boss, we caught a golden arowana!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately said:
"Okay, here we come."

When the anglers by the reservoir heard that someone had caught a golden arowana, many of them gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Even though I didn't catch it myself, it's good to come and share in the good fortune.

Qi Yue walked along the way.

This fishing guy is different from the previous ones.

First of all, this person was very well prepared. The fishing chair looked to be of good quality, and there was another box of drinks next to it. Even the fishing rod and bucket seemed to be more exquisite.

Moreover, the person was wearing dark casual clothes, and it was impossible to tell what brand they were.

He seems to be in good spirits.

The person next to him didn't seem like his friend; he looked more like a subordinate or assistant.

Several anglers witnessed this and whispered among themselves:

"Wow, this guy's fishing rod is a Gammakaz Celestial Ruler, it must cost tens of thousands."

"This doesn't look like a regular brand; it probably costs tens of thousands."

"This person is obviously rich."

Qi Yue walked over, not caring about any of that, but went to the bucket and began to check if the Golden Dragon Fish was real or fake.

After a perfunctory inspection, they confirmed that the Golden Dragon Fish was the prize.

Qi Yue then said:
"No problem, it's the prize, Golden Dragon Fish. Congratulations."

“WeChat or Alipay?”

The man waved his hand and laughed:
"Boss, you've misunderstood. I don't intend to claim the prize; I just want you to come and verify its authenticity."

"This arowana is quite beautiful on its own, and it's also a prize I caught."

"For me, it means 'wealth' and 'good fortune,' which is much more important."

"10 isn't much."

Hearing this, Qi Yue was somewhat taken aback, "Aren't you going to honor the prize?"

"I won't honor the prize; I'll just put it back in my fish tank."

"I was able to catch it in such a big reservoir, so I must have a special connection with it. I have to take good care of it."

The man continued.

Just then, a system notification appeared:
[Others have forfeited the 10 yuan prize money, which the host can freely dispose of.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Qi Yue readily agreed.

"Sure, you can take it back if you want, but you can't redeem it after the event ends."

A golden arowana of this quality typically costs several thousand yuan on the market, at most ten or twenty thousand.

Qi Yue was happy that the person gave up the 10 yuan prize.

"Boss, this event you organized is really great. I've participated in many fishing events and competitions, but I've never seen anything like this before."

"Good."

"Let's add each other on WeChat. If there are similar events, just let me know and save me a spot."

"I'll pay double the ticket price as a VIP pass."

The man spoke again.

Quite a few people added me on WeChat today.

It seems the event is still very attractive, so everyone wants to continue participating.

"No problem, but the fishing activity may not be held again. Other activities may be held in the future."

"You can follow the official WeChat account of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area. We will notify you if there is any news."

Qi Yue agreed.

Then he went back to his seat to rest.

I've already caught 7 arowanas, and there are 3 more to go.

Looking at it this way, one night should be enough.
