When we arrived at the gate of the community where Xiangyang lived, we picked up the couple and set off for the fishing spot.
The journey is a bit far, I checked the navigation and it will take about an hour and a half.
When leaving the city, Wang Yi suggested going to the supermarket to buy some food.
So the four of us went to the supermarket and bought fruits, some nut snacks, and some braised vegetables.
After being fully prepared, we continued on the road. Today's weather conditions were really great, and it had not been such a sunny day for a long time.
The sun was shining on us, old songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan were playing in the car, and even the air was filled with warmth.
The breeze that came in from the window made me a little intoxicated. My heart was as light as if it were stained with happy feathers, and every breath was soaked in the smell of sunshine.
If this was not a fishing appointment with a purpose, this might be one of the few times I relax.
The car was driving quickly on the national highway, and the sun was hitting my face very pleasantly.
"The weather is really nice today!" Xiang Yang suddenly said.
I smiled and then agreed: "Yes! It's been either cloudy or rainy for half a month. It's rare to have a sunny day."
"When the weather is nice, people are in a better mood, right? Sister Jing." Wang Yi continued.
Yang Jing immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, we are usually busy with life, but now the pace is too fast. In fact, it is good to slow down and enjoy life like this."
Wang Yi added: "Anyway, I will stay in Chengdu often in the future, and we can make appointments often in the future."
"Okay, I was worried that it was not fun to be alone. It will be better now that you are back."
The two of them started chatting among their best friends, and Xiangyang and I were also chatting about fishing.
Fortunately, I consulted professional fishermen in advance, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to talk.
After dozens of minutes, we finally reached our destination, which was a river almost a hundred meters wide with very clear water.
After parking the car, we walked to the river carrying our fishing gear and some food.
When we came to the river, Xiang Yang looked around and asked me, "Chen Feng, how did you find this place?"
I smiled and said, "A friend brought me here before. The water quality here is very good and the fish are abundant. Not many people know the key."
"You can see, let's start fishing. I can't wait." Xiang Yang said, and started to take out the fishing gear from the fishing gear bag.
I also took out enough nest-making materials and bait that I had bought from the fisherman I consulted before, and started to prepare them.
Two women, Wang Yi and Yang Jing, found a spacious lawn behind us, spread two pieces of cloth on the grass, and then took out the food they bought before. It looked like they were camping.
Ten minutes later, Xiangyang and I also finished preparations. Each of us had a pole, both of which were hand poles.
Just hang up the bait and start fishing. Fishing in the wild is not as easy as fishing in the pond. This requires a long waiting process.
While waiting, Xiangyang and I chatted wordlessly. I tried my best to bring the topic to work, but Xiangyang avoided my topic intentionally or unintentionally.
This made me feel like he knew my purpose, but didn't want to talk to me about it.
This made me feel a little helpless, but I had no choice but to fish with peace of mind.
Until the float in the water started to move, it was the movement from my side.
I stared at the float on the water with all my concentration. The moment it floated darkly, I quickly picked up the fishing rod.
Good guy, I thought it was some big fish, but instead it turned out to be a small white stripe no longer as long as my finger.
Wang Yi and Yang Jing both ran over to join in the fun, but when they saw such a small fish coming up, their excited expressions suddenly dimmed.
"It's so young, let it go!" Wang Yi said.
I smiled and put the fish into the fish protector and said, "Every fisherman knows that no matter how small the first fish is, it cannot be released."
"Yes, there is such a saying." Xiang Yang agreed.
As soon as Xiang Yang finished speaking, a fish also appeared on his side, it was still a small white stripe.
He also put the fish into the fish guard, and then said to me: "Chen Feng, it seems that Baitiao has come over. Should we continue fishing for Baitiao or what?"
Is he testing me?
Fortunately, I consulted the master and immediately said: "This white strip is too small and useless. Let's change the lead. When fishing in submerged water, don't pull the bait. It's better to rub the bait."
"Yeah, you're right." He nodded in agreement, and then began to adjust the lead and bleach.
Throw the bait into the water again and continue waiting.
I am actually a very impatient person, but once I catch a fish I become patient.
At this time, Xiangyang took the initiative to ask me: "Chen Feng, I heard that your company builds Internet celebrities, right?"
My heart skipped a beat, and then I replied with a smile: "Yes, but we also make products. We have our own clothing and home furnishing factories, as well as our own logistics company."
"Well, I've heard all about it, and you're doing pretty well now."
"Haha, it's not bad. The main reason is that the current policies are good." You can wear a lot of clothes, but you can't wear flattery!
He suddenly asked me again: "What is the scale of the garment factory under your company?"
When he asked this, I guess he should have given it some thought.
I paused for a moment before replying: "We have our own designers, a total of seventy-five employees in the factory, professional equipment and professional management."
After a slight pause, I added: "Moreover, we have now established our own brand and it has passed the review."
Xiang Yang nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "You should be the only one with a company of your size now, right?"
I sighed softly and said, "Someone is already imitating our model."
Xiang Yang smiled faintly and said: "In fact, this is the case in any industry. Just like this fishing spot, you were introduced by a friend, and I believe your friend also heard about it from others. Now that you have brought me here again, I also know this.
Place, do you think this is the truth?"
What Xiang Yang said was very interesting. It sounded oblique, but it actually made sense.
I nodded and said: "But experience is the most important, isn't it? Even if everyone knows this fishing spot, novices and veterans are different, what do you think?"
Xiang Yang smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right."
As soon as he finished speaking, it turned black and he immediately lifted it up with force.
This time, it was finally not a white stripe, but a crucian carp, and it was quite big.
"The goods are in stock, the goods are in stock." Xiang Yang shouted happily.
Yang Jing and Wang Yi ran over and said excitedly: "This fish is not small! I will bake it later."
Xiang Yang looked at Yang Jing with a smile and said, "I just caught it, and you were thinking about how to eat it. Can you let the fish hear it?"
"How can a fish understand human speech?"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
I feel like every word he says about Xiang Yang has a profound meaning that is hard to fathom. This person is very deep and difficult to communicate with.
In his absence, Wang Yi suddenly asked me: "Chen Feng, why is there no movement over there? You have to work harder! We are still waiting for the fish feast at noon."
I came back to my senses, smiled at her, and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."
She came up behind me and whispered to me: "I just had a little communication with Sister Jing, and she went to help us with the work. Don't worry, she will be able to do it."
I nodded, and Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to leave, she glanced at the water, and then asked me: "Chen Feng, why didn't I see your float?"
I immediately looked towards the water and saw that the float was really gone. At the same time, I felt the fishing rod sink suddenly.
