A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Deng Chao grew anxious: "What are you doing at sea! It's almost noon!"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes: "Jump into the sea, don't bother me."

Having just gone through a life-or-death tug-of-war, Chen Ye's arms were extremely sore.

He had absolutely no interest in cooperating with Deng Chao in playing a tragic role.

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Chao's tone switched to that of a nouveau riche, and he spoke at an extremely fast pace.

"Don't jump! Don't jump! Where's Yuqi? Bring Yuqi back right now! We've struck it rich!"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

Deng Chao's triumphant voice carried far on the sea breeze.

"Xiao Ye! I've got two huge baskets of top-quality swimming crabs! You two bring the money and come over right now, let's sell this batch together! We're guaranteed to make a fortune!"

Chen Ye laughed.

He was all too familiar with this ridiculous plot.

The classic scene from the first season of "The Five Huskies in Their Past Life".

Old Deng sold overpriced crabs as a middleman, but the seafood vendor took advantage of him and drove the price down, causing him to lose a fortune.

With this level of skill, you think you can fool me into being your ATM?

"Old Deng, you should keep those two baskets of crabs for yourself and steam them," Chen Ye said calmly.

Deng Chao was stunned: "Huh? Why?"

"Because I just casually fished up a house here."

Chen Ye's lips curled up into a wild smile.

The other side was deathly silent.

There was no movement for a full five seconds.

Just as Chen Ye thought the signal had been lost.

"What the heck?!"

Deng Chao burst out with a broken, fluent English sentence.

The speakerphone was on, and then Chen He and Lu Han's screams came through the phone.

Chen Ye was too lazy to listen to these old fogies' babbling.

"I'll send you my location, you guys hurry up and meet up."

"Also, since those two baskets of swimming crabs of yours are top-quality, don't let anyone take advantage of you and rip you off. Don't sell them for less than five thousand yuan, understand?"

beep.

Chen Ye hung up the phone.

Z Mountain Seafood Wharf.

Deng Chao, Chen He, Lu Han, Huang Bo, and Wang Mian were all staring wide-eyed at the phone.

"A house?!"

Chen He screamed and kicked away the broken cardboard next to him.

"He fished out the Dragon King's third son?!"

"Hurry up and sell the crabs! Go find him after you've sold them all! That kid must have struck it rich!" Lu Han reacted the fastest, his eyes filled with longing for money.

Huang Bo stood up from the plastic basket and brushed the dust off his trousers.

"Alright, Lao Deng, stop wandering around aimlessly."

"lead the way."

"I grew up by the sea, and I can recognize the tricks of the trade at the docks with my eyes closed."

With Huang Bo as the figurehead, the situation took an instant 180-degree turn.

Twenty minutes later.

At a seafood stall, Huang Bo pointed at the crabs with their claws outstretched in the basket and launched into a frenzied speech.

"Boss, I'm a member of the Communist Party!"

"Let's put aside whether your scale is even 8 ounces or not, this female crab is full of roe, and you're giving me 2,500? Are you taking advantage of an honest person?!"

Huang Bo speaks fluent Mandarin with a strong oyster accent.

"Five thousand! We won't sell it for a penny less!"

The seafood vendor was fooled and eventually obediently scanned the QR code and transferred 5,000 yuan.

The principal of the loan of two thousand yuan has been repaid.

I made a net profit of three thousand!

Shioga and his two companions looked at their phone balances and felt utterly inflated.

The three of them, arms around each other's shoulders, strode arrogantly towards the location sent by Chen Ye.

At this time.

On the yacht, Chen Ye was squatting on the deck, holding up a giant yellow croaker that was gleaming with golden light in his hands.

"Heave-ho!"

With a burst of strength from his waist and abdomen, Chen Ye lifted the large creature and threw it directly into the live water tank.

thump!

Water splashed everywhere.

Chen Ye leaned against the glass of the live water tank, panting heavily.

Luckily, I had the system's stamina card, otherwise I would have strained my back just now.

"Minimum 90 jin (45 kg)"

Chen Ye flexed his aching wrists, his eyes burning with fervor.

He turned to face the camera crew, hands on his hips, in an arrogant posture.

"From today onwards, everyone call me the Dragon King of the East Sea!" Chen Ye grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. "See that? That's power!"

Song Yuqi stood to the side, staring blankly at the large gold bars swimming in the water tank.

She really doesn't know anything about fishing.

"How much can I sell this fish for?"

She stuck her finger into the glass.

Chen Ye held up one finger.

Song Yuqi tilted her head and guessed, "One hundred thousand?"

Chen Ye clicked his tongue: "Ex-wife, don't ever say you know me when you go out in the future, it's embarrassing."

Song Yuqi was so angry she wanted to stomp on him.

"Wild large yellow croaker, priced by weight." Chen Ye tapped the tank. "For this size, we'll sell it by the piece, guaranteed to be at least several million!"

"If it encounters a wealthy person who loves seafood, the price can go up even further!"

Millions?!

Song Yuqi's mouth was slightly open.

In just half a day, they caught millions?!

"What are you standing there for! Grab your phone!" Chen Ye ordered his ex-wife's sister-in-law, "Take a picture of me! Make it look good, I want to post it on WeChat Moments!"

Song Yuqi rolled her eyes at him, but still obediently raised her phone and snapped a dozen photos from different angles.

Chen Ye picked one.

The photo clearly shows the fish's body shape and highlights its extremely unruly temperament.

With text:

"I just cast the line randomly, how come the seafood in the sea is so blind?"

"By the way, is this thing better steamed or braised?"

Click send.

In less than three minutes, WeChat notification sounds kept ringing incessantly.

Mercedes Director: "Holy crap?! This is huge! Where are you, Yezi? I'll take this fish! I'm going to use it to put on a show at my party!"

Tencent Music CEO Li: "Brother Chen! How much money?! Keep a lot for me! I need to treat the big shots to dinner!"

Even the cunning old fox in the business world who usually only posts health and wellness articles in group chats has come back to life.

"Xiao Chen, send me your location. I'll send a refrigerated truck over right away. Name your price, don't let anyone else snatch it up."

In the live stream, the knowledgeable fishing enthusiasts were already going crazy with their purchases.

"Holy crap! I'm not kidding! This is definitely enough to buy a house!"

"Minimum price: one million! Priceless!"

"This luck is unbelievable! Forget watching live streams, I should go to the temple and burn incense!"

Inside the temporary director's tent near Z Mountain Wharf.

Director Wang Zhengyu slumped in a folding chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The thermos on the table was steaming.

The assistant director stood to the side, holding a tablet, his voice trembling.

"Director Wang... roughly estimating, Chen Ye's fish is at least two million."

Wang Zhengyu's cheek fat twitched violently.

Two million!

The total staff expenses for this batch of five Haha employees amounted to only a few dollars.

Budget travel?

Budget travel my ass!

He's now the richest man in the world, and he's more generous than the TV show crew at plucking a single hair from his leg!

"That's not all..." the assistant director delivered the fatal blow, "Huang Bo, along with Chao Ge and the others, resold the crabs for five thousand, making a net profit of three thousand. Now they're not poor anymore."

boom.

Wang Zhengyu's worldview was shattered.

The hellish scene he painstakingly created, the survival script he meticulously designed in the slums.

In just one morning, I was physically exorcised by these shameless men!

"Get the car ready!"

Wang Zhengyu suddenly sprang up and kicked over the trash can.

"Let's go to Chen Ye's private dock! We can't film this show anymore! I'm going to eat up his trash!"

on the yacht.

Chen Ye turned the oxygen supply in the live water chamber to the maximum.

After confirming that the God of Wealth was not dead, he returned to the control panel and pushed the throttle valve.

The yacht cut through the azure sea and sailed smoothly back towards land.

Song Yuqi sat in the leather passenger seat.

She didn't take out her phone; she stared intently at Chen Ye, who was steering the boat.

The tug-of-war just now was forcibly interrupted by the big yellow croaker.

But Song Yuqi clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily.

"Feed." Her voice drifted on the sea breeze.

Chen Ye stared straight ahead, hands on the steering wheel: "What?"

"You still haven't answered me." Song Yuqi's eyes sharpened. "How was that song just now?"

Straight ball.

Deadly straight ball.

Chen Ye ground his back molars.

This woman is determined to have a good time today.

With the statement "I can't just be friends," I'm waiting for him to give a more nuanced answer.

Row.

Playing with your cards face up, huh?

Chen Ye held the steering wheel with one hand and picked up his phone with the other.

Connect to the Bluetooth speaker.

"That song just now didn't suit my newfound wealth today."

Chen Ye spoke casually, a highly aggressive smile playing on his lips.

"Since you released an unreleased cover song..."

He tapped the screen with his finger.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate."

"Bro, I happen to have a new song that hasn't been released yet. Let me show you, your former idol, what a crushing defeat looks like."

Song Yuqi's eyes widened instantly.

The million viewers in the live stream all muted their microphones and stared intently at their screens.

A new song?!

Chen Ye still has stock?!

Chen Ye pressed the play button.

There was no build-up whatsoever.

The metallic, arrogant, and fatalistic sound of the electric guitar strumming instantly tore through the sea breeze above the yacht!

The prelude was extremely sharp, piercing straight into everyone's ears!

Song Yuqi was stunned.

The sense of oppression is too strong.

next second.

The top-tier husky voice, enhanced by the system, with its raspy, piercing quality, exploded loudly from the speakers:

"Let yesterday be null and void."

"Now you are right in front of me."

Just these two sentences.

Song Yuqi's eyelids twitched violently, and her back straightened instinctively.

The screen was instantly filled with a dense barrage of exclamation marks.

"I want to love...please give me a chance..."

The singing was completely natural and unpretentious.

It's even more direct and domineering than the previous song, "Ordinary Friends"!

This powerful song, "Preference," exploded across the sea with a destructive force.

Chen Ye leaned back in his seat and turned to meet Song Yuqi's shocked gaze.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

Isn't it supposed to be a straight shot?

Didn't you want the cards to be revealed?

You fire armor-piercing shells, I'll give you nuclear bombs in return.

Let's see who gives up first.
