I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

The old man with the black hair tossed his head, his temper flaring even more, and he stopped paying attention to the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

The old man, unperturbed, said in a nonchalant tone, "It doesn't mean anything!"

What does "it doesn't mean anything" mean?

"Nothing means nothing!"

"So what exactly do you mean by 'you don't mean anything'?"

……

The two of them went back and forth, arguing verbally like two little children.

Lu Zhaoyang's head was starting to throb.

"Sir, actually, I was the one who asked."

Lu Zhaoyang finally found an opportunity and seized the chance to raise his hand and signal.

"Um?"

The white-bearded old man's eyes swept back and forth between the black-haired old man and Lu Zhaoyang, seemingly disbelieving. "You're so young, why are you asking this? Do you want to raise fish or something? Are you bored?"

Lu Zhaoyang was speechless for a moment.

Because the old man with the white beard was absolutely right; he was just bored.

"Hahaha!"

The old man in black standing nearby was amused by this honest remark and burst into laughter.

The white-bearded old man paused, then asked with a displeased expression, "Old Xu, what are you laughing at?"

"What are you laughing at?"

The old man reeled in his line, glanced back, and said with admiration, "I was just laughing. It's rare for you to be so clear-headed. You're not so old that you can't see things clearly!"

"Of course!"

Grandpa Bai's proud mustache was practically standing on end, but then he realized something was off. "Wait a minute, this doesn't sound like a compliment."

"How can it not be a compliment? You should consider it yourself..."

Worried that the two would start arguing again, Lu Zhaoyang quickly explained, "Sir, you're right. I have some free time lately. I heard that you might be selling your fishpond. I hope you'll consider it..."

"Who said I was going to switch!"

The white-bearded old man glared at Lu Zhaoyang, interrupting him abruptly, "This pond is my lifeline! Who's spouting nonsense about transferring the fishpond?"

Seeing the old man's angry expression, Lu Zhaoyang quickly said, "Grandpa, I was just asking casually. Since there's no transfer, then forget it."

The white-bearded old man walked away angrily without looking back.

Old Man Hei snorted and said, "Still being stubborn? If you really have ideas, don't worry, you'll get a reply in a few days."

Lu Zhaoyang quickly replied, "Okay, sir, I was just asking. It's not like I absolutely have to have one. If you don't have one, that's fine too."

"If you really want to lease a fishpond, this is definitely a rare opportunity. Old Man Qian has put a lot of effort into this fishpond, and besides..."

Grandpa Hei cast his fishing rod into the water and continued, "There's another very important point: the land on which this fishpond is located belongs to Old Man Qian, and it's all under his own name."

"Oh? I see."

Lu Zhaoyang was surprised; it turned out that he had encountered a direct rental from the landlord.

Old Man Hei continued, "Well, this area all belongs to Qianjia Village. Old Man Qian has a lot of influence in the village. If you really want to lease a fishpond, you'll inevitably have to deal with the villagers. With Old Man Qian around, there shouldn't be any problems."

Lu Zhaoyang had only made the idea on a whim, but now that he heard about it, he felt it was indeed a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, he humbly asked, "Sir, how much does it cost for these fish? Fifty yuan, and can I take them all with me?"

Grandpa Hei was very efficient, catching three or four fish in a short time.

Even Lu Zhaoyang himself caught two grass carp that weren't small.

If things continue like this, the harvest could be quite promising.

Of course, this also means that this Mr. Qian suffered a significant loss.

If that's the case, it's already quite an achievement to be able to earn some money every year.

"Dream on. This 50 yuan is just a trial voucher. These fish will eventually be returned to the pond. If you want to take them, they'll be weighed by the kilogram," the old man laughed.

"I knew it!"

Lu Zhaoyang chuckled, not at all surprised.

It wasn't until almost noon that Grandpa Hei and Lu Zhaoyang finally prepared to pack up and leave.

Lu Zhaoyang had originally planned to catch up on sleep, but he didn't have time to do so all morning.

The reason is simple: fishing is just so much fun.

The fish here are big and plentiful; Lu Zhaoyang has never had such a great experience since he started learning to fish.

Not to mention sleeping, while fishing, he didn't even feel hungry for the first time at noon.

Just as the two were packing their things, a Land Rover drove straight up and came to a smooth stop on the path not far from the cabin.

The car stopped, and a middle-aged man got out and walked towards the white-bearded old man's hut.

The middle-aged man stopped halfway through his walk, took off his sunglasses, glanced at the two of them, and then turned and walked over.

"Uncle Xu, it's been a while since I've seen you. It's a pleasure to see you here fishing today."

As the middle-aged man approached, he greeted the elderly man with a smile.

When the old man saw the newcomer, he stood up and laughed, "Hey, Lei Zi, you're such a busy man these days, how could you possibly have time to see me? What, are you here to see your dad?"

"Yes, come find my dad."

The middle-aged man took out a pair of thin cigarettes and handed them to the old man.

The latter waved his hand, "Your cigarette is too weak, I'm not used to it."

As he spoke, he took out the cigarettes he was used to smoking from his pocket.

The middle-aged man took out a lighter, lit the lamp for him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, you look great! You seem to be in good health."

"As you know, I'm fine as long as I can catch fish. I can eat well and sleep well."

"That's good, that's good."

Lu Zhaoyang was squatting by the water, helping Grandpa Hei release the fish one by one.

I must say, the joy of releasing fish is no less than that of catching them.

He heard the conversation behind him, but didn't have time to look over.

He stood up only after he had finished releasing them.

"what?"

Lu Zhaoyang was stunned when he saw the person who came.

It was simply because he knew this person—or rather, he had seen him before.

The middle-aged man in front of me was clearly one of my competitors when I bought the shop that day.

He never expected to run into them again here.

The other party was the son of Mr. Qian, the owner of the fishpond, and he also knew Mr. Hei.

"President Lu?"

Qian Lei was equally surprised to see Lu Zhaoyang.

Lu Zhaoyang was even more surprised that the other party remembered him and even knew his surname.

The old man was also taken aback: "Lei Zi, you know Xiao Lu?"

I guess so.

Qian Lei smiled and said, "I've met President Lu once before, so I guess we've had some dealings. I didn't expect to run into him here."

"Yes, what a coincidence, Mr. Qian."

Lu Zhaoyang also smiled.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that." The old man nodded.

"Mr. Lu, I visited Guanlan Residential Area a couple of days ago and saw the newly opened A Xiang BBQ. I presume it's one of your businesses? The business is booming; it's become quite well-known in Yunzhao. Congratulations!"

Qian Lei had long wanted to get to know Lu Zhaoyang, but he was too busy buying and appraising shops last time to do so.
