38: Chapter 37: Willing to Take the Bait!
“Alright, alright, I won’t hold it against you, okay?” Yun Xinyan looked at Ye Tian, who still wouldn’t let go, and said with a frustrated face.
“Hehe, you’re the best, wife.” Ye Tian grinned cheekily, “I really didn’t do anything, you have to believe , wife.
If you don’t believe , you can go ask.”
Yun Xinyan, with a frustrated face, stood up and waved her hand, “Fine fine fine, I’ll ask him personally.”
Hearing this, Yun Xinyan walked over and picked up a long box.
Ye Tian imdiately ran over and snatched it from her hands, “Wife, let do this tiring task.”
Yun Xinyan was instantly infuriated, “Do you even know what this is?
It’s not heavy, give it to .”
“What is it?”
“A fishing rod.”
“What are you going to do with a fishing rod?”
Yun Xinyan initially didn’t want to answer, but seeing Ye Tian’s expression suggesting he wouldn’t hand it over unless she did, she said in frustration, “Today, there is a very important client who really likes fishing, so I need to go and accompany him fishing.
If I can make him happy, my position in the corporation will be elevated.”
“Is it a man or a woman?”
“A man.” Yun Xinyan glanced at Ye Tian, who looked wary, but deep inside, she was quite pleased, because Ye Tian was visibly on guard.
“But don’t worry, he’s just an old man, over seventy.
I’ll be safe.”
Ye Tian shook his head vigorously, “No, I’m going with you.
These days, old n are nothing but trouble, shalessly abusing their age.
I absolutely cannot be at ease.”
“He’s a tycoon in Yunhai City’s business world, influential even in the provincial cities, why would he bother to harass a weak woman like ?” Yun Xinyan said with a headache, thinking he was overly protective.
“No way, if you don’t let go, I won’t give this to you.” Ye Tian shook his head, then added, “You, as the president of Yun Corporation, shouldn’t be driving yourself there.
It just so happens I can be your driver, hehe, how about that?”
Yun Xinyan thought for a mont and reluctantly nodded, “It could work, but you have to listen to everything I say.
If your actions upset the client, I’ll skin you alive!”
“Don’t worry!” Ye Tian chuckled and imdiately ran out with the fishing rod.
Watching Ye Tian’s retreating figure, Yun Xinyan smiled bitterly, muttering as she walked, “Yun Xinyan, oh Yun Xinyan, one day you too will fall into the hands of a man.
Sigh.”
When they reached the underground garage, Ye Tian drove, and soon they both arrived at Qinghan Fish House.
Once inside the fish house, Yun Xinyan was about to go in and asked Ye Tian to wait outside, but Ye Tian didn’t care at all and followed her inside with a cheeky smile, causing Yun Xinyan to sigh heavily.
“You can co in, but you have to listen to .”
Ye Tian looked at Yun Xinyan’s serious face and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll do exactly as you say.
You know why I’m here, just to ensure your safety.
As long as you are safe, I’m rely a bodyguard.”
Seeing this, Yun Xinyan also nodded and paced slowly into the venue with Ye Tian.
After a short while, they reached a pond and approached an elderly man in a white Chinese-style shirt.
The elderly man’s hair was gray but thick.
His face was full of wrinkled skin, not much different from other elderly n.
However, there was a distinct presence about him, especially in his lively eyes.
His eyes were calm, but occasionally a sharp glint shone through.
He carried an air of experience without seeming aloof, offering a gentle impression.
From the very first glance, Ye Tian felt that this old man was no ordinary person!
The gentler an animal appears, the fiercer it becos when provoked.
The sa holds true for people.
Yun Xinyan approached the old man respectfully and said, “Master Lai.”
“Ah, Xinyan is here, have a seat,” Lai Mingdong smiled, his deanor calm and gentle.
He also looked up and saw Ye Tian, squinting briefly before smiling, “Who is this?”
“Master Lai, this is one of my drivers,” Yun Xinyan said sowhat awkwardly, though her tone remained calm.
Lai Mingdong’s eyes flickered profoundly, and he nodded with a smile, then turned his attention back to fishing calmly.
“Let’s fish for a while, we can talk about other matters later.”
Yun Xinyan nodded, took the fishing rod from Ye Tian’s hand, and began to fish.
However, Yun Xinyan’s heart wasn’t really in fishing as she kept talking to Lai Mingdong and occasionally shook her fishing rod.
But Lai Mingdong just smiled and remained silent until suddenly his fishing rod dipped heavily, and he laughed, “Got a bite.”
He lifted his arm and hooked a fish weighing over a pound.
A subtly pleased smile played upon his face.
“Congratulations, Master Lai.
Look at , I haven’t caught a single one.” Yun Xinyan smiled gently, though her smile was a bit bitter.
Lai Mingdong loved fishing, and if she could catch a few fish, there would be more chances to talk with him.
But now, not having caught any was sowhat embarrassing for her.
“You’re not focused, that’s why you can’t catch any,” Lai Mingdong laughed, “When you do catch one, then we’ll discuss the company matters.”
After saying this, Lai Mingdong baited his hook and started fishing again, composed and serene.
Yun Xinyan frowned slightly, her face full of frustration.
But she planned to seriously try fishing.
However, as luck would have it, the more Yun Xinyan hurried, the fewer bites she got, and sweat covered her forehead.
At that mont, Lai Mingdong caught another fish, glanced at Yun Xinyan, and chuckled lightly, “Maybe you should head back first, we can talk about the company matters so other ti.”
“Master Dong, about this matter…” Yun Xinyan looked anxious.
She had co specifically for this, even turning down many project negotiations.
If today didn’t go well, it would all be for nothing.
“Alright, enough, you can go back,” Lai Mingdong said, his face losing its smile as he turned his head away without even looking at Yun Xinyan.
Ye Tian, who stood by, frowned slightly, seeing Yun Xinyan being mistreated; he was quite displeased inside and snorted, “It’s just fishing, quite simple really.”
“Ye Tian!
Don’t talk nonsense!” Yun Xinyan was already anxious, and hearing Ye Tian say that made her even more frustrated.
If only she hadn’t brought him along.
Just as she was about to turn and explain to Lai Mingdong, he simply smiled, “The fish in this aquarium are notoriously hard to catch, not simple at all.
Young man, want to try?”
Yun Xinyan was instantly delighted, relieved that at least she wasn’t being dismissed outright—there was still hope.
She quickly turned to Ye Tian and whispered, “Do you know how to fish?”
“Damn, your man, cough cough, what can’t I do?
It’s a matter of minutes,” Ye Tian was about to say ‘husband’ but was cut off by Yun Xinyan’s fierce glare.
Ye Tian was displeased but then sneered softly, “If I catch one, will you wear a nurse outfit for tonight?”
“You!” Yun Xinyan burst into anger, this guy was actually trying to take advantage of the situation!
However, Yun Xinyan thought for a mont, a smile curling on her lips as she looked at Ye Tian, “As long as it satisfies Master Dong, I’ll agree.”
“Easy.” After taking the fishing rod from Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian even removed the bait without replacing it, which made Yun Xinyan stare in disbelief.
Could he really catch fish like this?
Ye Tian didn’t care and just fished relaxedly, even crossing his legs and swaying the fishing rod in a very showy manner.
Lai Mingdong glanced at Ye Tian, “You and your boss are alike, always moving around like that, how could you possibly catch any fish?”
Ye Tian laughed and said profoundly, “The willing shall bite.”
Lai Mingdong burst into laughter but said nothing, clearly not believing in the thod.
Soon, Ye Tian’s fishing rod suddenly shook, and with a smile, he lifted his arm, pulling up a large fish weighing over a pound.
Yun Xinyan excitedly watched from the side; they had finally caught a fish.
Lai Mingdong looked on in surprise and continued fishing in silence.
Ye Tian winked at Yun Xinyan and kept fishing.
Not three minutes later, Ye Tian’s rod shook again, hooking another large fish, while Lai Mingdong had not caught any yet.
Ye Tian laughed and continued fishing, this ti even faster, not even a minute passed!
Lai Mingdong looked shocked at the fish on Ye Tian’s hook, finding it incredible.
How could this be possible?
It felt more like scooping fish than fishing!
Yet, Ye Tian said nothing, not even looking at Lai Mingdong as he kept tossing the hook into the water—this ti, he didn’t even let the hook sink.
“What is he up to?” Lai Mingdong’s eyes flashed with confusion.
“What?!” Lai Mingdong widened his eyes—in disbelief!
The fish actually jumped out of the water and bit the hook!
This, this…
Lai Mingdong and Yun Xinyan both stood there, mouths agape in disbelief!
If soone had told them they were still dreaming at this mont, they might have believed it!
The entire situation was unnervingly bizarre!
Only then did Ye Tian finally glance at Lai Mingdong, chuckling, “Master Dong, do you think we can have a proper talk with the boss now?”
After a long mont of shock, Lai Mingdong slowly collected himself and nodded, turning to Yun Xinyan, “You’ve got yourself a good driver.
No need to talk further—I’ll directly give you the contract to sign later.
I was planning to give it to you anyway.
I just wanted soone to fish with.
The young man is impressive; he truly opened my eyes.”
Yun Xinyan was instantly thrilled and hurriedly nodded her thanks to Lai Mingdong.
Lai Mingdong smiled and waved his hand, “Go ahead, you’ve achieved your goal, no need to keep this old man company.”
“Master Dong…”
Yun Xinyan was about to speak again when Lai Mingdong smiled, “It’s alright.
In the future, just send this young brother to keep company for fishing.
I’m very curious.”
Ye Tian was about to speak when Yun Xinyan quickly grabbed him and chuckled, “Don’t worry, Master Dong.
Whenever you have ti, just give a call and I’ll bring him over to you.”
Lai Mingdong nodded, and then Yun Xinyan dragged Ye Tian out with her.
Soon after, a man in black ca over and handed Yun Xinyan a contract.
Seeing the contract, Yun Xinyan was so excited she couldn’t express herself and hugged Ye Tian tightly, giving him a big kiss.
Seeing the excited Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian was also happy and chuckled, “Rember to wear the nurse outfit tonight.”
Yun Xinyan imdiately regained her composure, scoffed disdainfully, and left Ye Tian behind as she drove off alone.
“Damn!” Ye Tian was utterly bewildered.
