Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Receiving a Banner and Going Out Fishing
But right now, even if he regrets it, it’s of no use.
Plus...
After realizing he had offended Ye Chen, a hermit-like master, his selfishness initially could have cost him his life.
Now, he dares not ask for too much...
One could say that Cui Ruogou’s life is thoroughly ruined!
His wife is hell-bent on divorcing him, because he secretly mortgaged their house.
Not only is his wife leaving him, but Cui Ruogou also faces a huge debt.
Besides, he is now universally despised and targeted.
It’s really too difficult for him to turn things around...
...
The next morning.
When Ye Chen was preparing to go to Haina Baichuan Fish Pond to fish for a porcelain piece worth seventeen million.
Before he could even leave, he received a phone call.
The caller was someone familiar.
But Ye Chen was somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect this person to call him.
Zhou Tao!
The very "sir" who, as a middleman, invited him to fish for the giant python in Jinbao District.
Honestly, Ye Chen had a good impression of Captain Zhou.
After all, he owed many of his benefits to this "sir," didn’t he?
After answering the call, Ye Chen cheerfully said, "Captain Zhou, what’s up, calling me this early?"
In response, Zhou Tao joked with a smile, "What? I can’t call you for nothing, kiddo?"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and replied, "It doesn’t matter if others call me, but when ’sir’ calls, it really makes me nervous."
"I’m just afraid you’re going to start preaching to me!"
"Seriously, Captain Zhou, ever since you lectured me last time about contributing to society, I’ve kept your teachings in mind."
"Catching that giant python in Jinbao District, does that count as making a social contribution?"
Zhou Tao on the other end of the line let out a hearty laugh and said, "You hold grudges, huh?"
"I just mentioned it casually at first, but I didn’t expect you to remember it for so long!"
"And also, the python fishing gig was something I hooked you up with, can’t you be grateful for that?"
Ye Chen laughed, "Of course, I remember. Thanks for referring me this time, Captain Zhou!"
"Alright, alright," Zhou Tao slowly said, "Well... I called to notify you about something."
"Considering your catch of that giant python, you indeed solved a big problem for the community."
"The Jiang City Police Station has made a banner for you."
"Come by later to pick it up."
Ye Chen was surprised and curiously asked, "Another banner? What does it say this time?"
"Uh..." Zhou Tao hesitated for a moment, then said in a strange tone, "Catch a giant python, bring peace to the community."
...
Soon, Ye Chen drove his farming tricycle to the Jiang City Police Station.
As for Zhou Tao, he was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen felt a bit of déjà vu.
Right...
Just yesterday morning, he had also received a banner.
Not sure if Zhou Tao noticed this too, he handed over the banner with a funny expression, patting Ye Chen’s shoulder, "Are you treating the police station as a clock-in point?"
"Come every morning, clock in, and pick up a banner?"
Ye Chen grinned and said, "I can’t help it, I didn’t ask for this, it was offered by you guys."
Zhou Tao sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Well, there’s no choice. Although you never catch any fish, you still made it onto the national media."
"Besides, the idea to gift you this banner wasn’t mine, it was Chief Wang’s idea."
Ye Chen pursed his lips then unfolded the banner in his hands.
On it, in gilded letters, it read: "Catch a giant python, bring peace to the community."
The banner was presented by the Jiang City Police Station.
"Is there any monetary reward this time?" Ye Chen put away the banner and looked at Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao glanced at him, slightly annoyed, and said, "You’re always thinking about money."
"Didn’t the Jinbao District property management give you a million yuan reward plus a villa in the best part of Jinbao District?"
"Those two combined are worth at least eight or nine million, aren’t you satisfied?"
"And don’t think I don’t know, your live broadcast yesterday nearly exploded in popularity!"
"Aren’t you going to kick back something to me, the go-between?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes twitched, and he slapped his thigh, speaking earnestly.
"Right Captain Zhou, I just remembered, today I still have to go fishing with those old men at the pond!"
"I’m running out of time, I need to go right now!"
"Bye!"
After saying that, Ye Chen jumped onto his farming tricycle, started it, and sped off without looking back.
Leaving Zhou Tao with a bittersweet expression.
Indeed, without Zhou Tao as the intermediary, Ye Chen wouldn’t have received these benefits.
But when looking at it, it was also a win-win cooperation.
Ye Chen got money, a house, and fame on his side.
And on Zhou Tao’s side, Ye Chen did solve a headache for them.
To be honest, Chief Wang Lindong was particularly happy when the python was fished out.
...
Now, in the back of Ye Chen’s tricycle, there were two banners.
Along with the urn that always accompanied Ye Chen, this journey was truly a head-turner.
This tri-colored farming tricycle had obviously become a distinctive mode of transport for Ye Chen.
Adding to the national media’s report from the previous night, Ye Chen was now quite a celebrity.
Along the way, the blue farming tricycle drew an astounding amount of attention.
Eighty percent of the people who saw the blue farming tractor would instinctively look at the driver, Ye Chen.
And then, seeing the handsome young man.
They would excitedly shout,
"Damn! It’s Teacher Ye!"
Of course, Ye Chen felt that, with this much attention, it would be perfect if he could actually catch some fish.
All this attention along the way put Ye Chen in a particularly good mood.
Finally, when Ye Chen arrived at the familiar Haina Baichuan Fish Pond,
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still startled by today’s scene at the fish pond’s entrance.
The day before yesterday, when Ye Chen hadn’t caught the python yet, he was amazed by the "drums and gongs" spectacle staged by the pond’s owner.
All the way there, Ye Chen thought that today’s scene could surely not be smaller than the last!
But who knew, this time the fish pond OWNER and his wife had come up with new antics!
