The sky was a little gloomy on Saturday, and the occasional breeze blew in, weakening the heat. At about 8 a.m., two Toyota cars drove into the Treasure Island Fishing Ground in the Yuhu Ecological Zone. Because it is surrounded by a lake, the temperature here is lower than in the city.
It's several degrees hotter, so it's a good place to cool off and escape the heat.
The owner of the venue, Deng Qingdong, knew that he was a distinguished guest and had already stood at the door to greet him. When the car stopped, he walked over with a smile and shook hands with the two leaders who walked out of the back row.
"Secretary Song, Mayor Xia, okay." Deng Qingdong showed a deeply honored expression.
Wendi Song glanced at Fang Zhicheng and hinted that the owner of the venue knew her identity. Fang Zhicheng shrugged and showed an expression of "I don't know either." Wendi Song smiled helplessly, knowing that someone must have leaked the news.
Xia Xiang walked beside Song Wendi and wrote lightly: "Secretary Song, don't worry too much. Owner Deng knows our identities. I revealed them and it has nothing to do with Xiao Fang."
Song Wendi smiled slightly and sighed: "Originally I wanted to invite you to come to the fishing ground to fish, but now I feel like you have become the host."
Xia Xiang was noncommittal and said with a faint smile: "How dare I compete with Secretary Song to be today's host? I just thought that Secretary Song had just arrived, and I was familiar with the Yuhu Ecological Zone, so I made some arrangements, mainly to make today's fishing
The activities will be more rich and exciting, I hope Secretary Song won’t mind it too much.”
There was a hidden meaning in Xia Xiang's words. Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that Xia Xiang's tone was very loud. Although his tone was modest, he could still sense a hint of arrogance.
Jin Feng, who was standing behind Xia Xiang, had a smile on his face, made eye contact with Fang Zhicheng, and put on a confident expression.
Deng Qingdong walked in front and felt a little strange. He had prepared for a long time last night and was familiar with the output value and scale of the fishery. However, Song Wendi didn't ask any more questions. He secretly thought that the municipal party committee secretary and mayor really came to relax today.
of.
Fang Zhicheng and Jin Feng each carried the fishing tackle led by the other, about ten meters away from the front.
Jin Feng said softly: "Xiao Fang, how is Secretary Song's fishing technique?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said truthfully: "I have only been following Secretary Song for a short time, and I am not very familiar with Secretary Song's techniques. Fishing is just a way to cultivate one's character. The technique is not important. The key is whether you can relax your body and mind."
Jin Feng smiled faintly and said: "Xiao Fang, you are wrong about this idea. If one person fishes, he naturally wants to relax, but if two people fish, there is naturally a sense of competition. In foreign countries, fishing competitions are like
Golf tournaments are common, and every country and state holds well-known championships, which add a competitive atmosphere to fishing and add a lot of fun to life."
Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that Jin Feng's character was indeed as rumored, arrogant and belligerent. He smiled and said, "It seems that Mayor Xia wants to have a written test with Secretary Song today?"
Jin Feng shook his head and said softly: "Boss, they are not ordinary people. How could they have such an idea? I think we can make a bet."
"What kind of gambling method?" Fang Zhicheng asked calmly, guessing what Jin Feng was thinking.
"How about we use the achievements of our two leaders today to decide whether we win or lose, and use one thousand yuan as a bargaining chip?" Jin Feng said proudly.
Fang Zhicheng was immediately in a dilemma. Jin Feng was too arrogant. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he seemed to be very confident in Mayor Xia's fishing skills, but he was unclear about Song Wendi's skills. If he refused directly, wouldn't he be indirectly admitting it?
Is Wendi Song inferior to others in fishing?
"How about adding some chips? Two thousand yuan?" Fang Zhicheng felt that there was no way out, so he took a step forward. Even if he loses then, at least his momentum cannot be weakened now. Besides, Fang Zhicheng still knows something about fishing. If Song Wendi knows nothing about it,
, when the time comes, he will come to fight in person. After all, although the protagonists of the fishing competition are Song Wendi and Xia Xiang, it does not mean that the secretary cannot help.
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng actually raised his chips, Jin Feng was slightly startled and said with a smile: "It's interesting, let's bet two thousand."
Entering the hinterland of the fishing ground, Xia Xiang and Song Wendi each chose a fishing position. They each found a shade tree, about thirty meters apart from each other.
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng seemed to have something on his mind, Song Wendi asked with a smile: "Xiao Fang, you don't seem to be very happy. If you have anything, you might as well just tell me."
Fang Zhicheng felt that there was no need to hide it from Song Wendi. Perhaps speaking frankly would make Song Wendi pay more attention to today's fishing results, so he told Jin Feng everything about the bet he had just made.
After listening to this, Wendi Song pondered for a long time and asked: "Xiao Fang, why do you want to raise the stakes?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Because I think boss, you are a very sensible and intelligent person, and you will never choose a battlefield that you are not good at! Since you have an appointment with Mayor Xia at the fishing ground today, you must be confident in defeating him."
"You kid, you are so cunning, you started to flatter me again." Wendi Song smiled and patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Are you really so confident?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am only half confident. After all, I have never seen my boss fishing, and I don't know Mayor Xia's skills. I pray now that Mayor Xia is not good at fishing."
Song Wendi glanced not far away and saw Xia Xiang with his hands behind his back and Jin Feng squatting beside him to wind the line. He said softly: "Although Xia Xiang is not good at fishing, his secretary Jin Feng is a good fisherman, so he
I will take the initiative to make a bet with you. In fact, you should ask yourself whether your fishing skills can be better than Jin Feng's before making a decision."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "You mean, I will be the one to fish today?"
Song Wendi smiled and said: "What if? Xia Xiang doesn't need to do anything, why do you still want me to do it?"
"..." Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said, "I originally thought Secretary Song, you really like fishing."
Song Wendi patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder and said: "Xia Xiang and I both like fishing, but if he doesn't take action, I can't take action either. So the key to whether you can win your bet with Jin Feng today is not me, but you."
.”
Fang Zhicheng nodded, with a solemn look on his face, and said softly: "Then I'll get ready quickly." After saying that, he leaned down to join the fishing rods, while Song Wendi was fascinated by the bait.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, Xia Xiang glanced at the blue lake calmly. Jin Feng arranged the fishing gear and said with a smile: "Boss, I made a bet with Fang Zhicheng just now, and the chips are two thousand yuan."
Xia Xiang smiled and said, "What's the point of bullying a young man?"
Jin Feng shook his head and sighed: "Although he is young, Secretary Song is not that simple. Today he invited you to the fishing ground because he knows that you like fishing and deliberately wants to beat you once. How can you lose?"
Xia Xiang took out a cigarette from his pocket, puffed out a puff of smoke, and sighed: "Song Wendi is not that simple. If he was not prepared, how could he take the initiative to ask for a fight?"
Jin Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely win today's fishing competition."
Xia Xiang patted Jin Feng on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your performance."
Xia Xiang has great trust in Jin Feng's fishing skills. If there were a national ranking of professional fishing players, Jin Feng would at least be in the top ten. Xia Xiang likes fishing very much and likes the moment when the fish jumps out of the water, and doesn't care about it.
Who hooked the fish and who pulled the line.
Jin Feng quickly arranged the fishing gear. He was already familiar with the terrain and chose a narrow area. There were water plants here, bubbles emerged from time to time, and the water chestnut leaves could be vaguely eaten and damaged by fish. Jin Feng had already made a nest.
The nest is far away, close to the shady deep water area. A graceful cast made a beautiful arc, and the hook landed accurately on the nest without making too much noise.
Jin Feng gently shook the fishing line. After a while, the float rose and fell several times, and a fish actually took the bait.
Although Fang Zhicheng can fish, his skills can only be considered average. Not far away, there was an exclamation, and a silver carp one foot long flew to the ground along with the fishing line. Fang Zhicheng looked bitter and cursed in a low voice: "This
This guy is really lucky."
When Wendi Song heard this, she laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Only the weak attribute everything to luck."
Time passed by, but Fang Zhicheng didn't catch much, but not far away, Jin Feng caught seven or eight fish, secretly thinking that the gap was getting bigger and bigger. However, he did not panic, but was minding his own business.
Look at the fish charm and wait quietly.
Fishing requires patience. Even if he loses in the end, Fang Zhicheng cannot panic during the process because Wendi Song is watching him.
The owner of the venue, Deng Qingdong, brought fruits and drinks. Song Wendi drank iced juice and chatted wordlessly with Deng Qingdong.
Deng Qingdong seemed to know that the two parties were competing. He pointed to a section of inlet in the distance and reminded: "The location here is certainly good, but it is a little worse than the one occupied by Mayor Xia. There will be more fish in the inlet in front.
"
Wendi Song waved her hand and said with a smile: "Since you have chosen this place, then it will be decided here."
Seeing that Song Wendi didn't listen to his opinion, Deng Qingdong had no choice but to give up. Seeing Jin Feng catch another carp not far away, he thought that the municipal party secretary's side might be defeated today.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and the owner Deng invited the four of them to have a sumptuous farm meal in the restaurant. At the same time, both parties roughly estimated the results of half a day. Fang Zhicheng was not one-third as good as Jin Feng. Fang Zhicheng was not.
Don't be impatient. You have already left two thousand yuan behind. It's just a loss. If you still lose your grace, you will inevitably be looked down upon even more.
However, the look in Jin Feng's eyes when he looked at Fang Zhicheng had changed a lot. His words and deeds were vaguely discernible, and he was determined to win this game, while Fang Zhicheng was even less likely to make waves.
After lunch, the four of them continued fishing at the lake. The clouds in the sky gradually disappeared and the sun was shining brightly. Xia Xiang seemed a little bored. He walked to Jin Feng and said with a smile: "I'll give it a try too. The big fish will take the bait."
a feeling of."
Jin Feng handed the fishing rod to Xia Xiang's hand, Xia Xiang flicked it easily, a slight sound of water sounded, the lake surface suddenly stirred up a small wave, and the buoy also shook slightly, Xia Xiang felt happy
, as if the fish was hooked, he subconsciously squeezed the fishing rod tightly and was about to use force.
"Didi!"
At this critical moment, the mobile phone placed on the low folding table not far away vibrated and rang at an inappropriate time. Xia Xiang frowned. The fish under the lake were frightened by the ringing and ran away. The lake surface returned to calm, and the buoys that were jumping were
Floating there quietly, a breeze blew up, and the buoy drifted with the current, but the fishing rod in his hand became light and fluttering.
Jin Feng handed the phone to Xia Xiang's ear. He listened to a few words, a solemn look appeared on his face, and he subconsciously looked not far away, with deep fear in his eyes.
