I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 166: An Unexpected Bustle

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: An Unexpected Bustle

In front of the door, an inflatable rainbow arch was erected for Ye Chen.

The golden banner on top read in glittering gold letters: "Warmly welcoming Teacher Ye’s second visit to Haina Baichuan Fishing!"

The square dance rants from before had all been replaced by a young and beautiful street dance crew.

At the same time, various fireworks and congratulatory cannons of all sizes were displayed nearby.

There are also various festive decorations hanging on both sides of the gate.

As for the onlookers at the door, there were many more than yesterday.

Though not as many as the crowd at Jinbao Community yesterday, there were still quite a few internet celebrities, self-media, and television people gathered on both sides of the fish pond’s entrance.

Looking at this scene, anyone unaware might think someone was getting married!

However, Ye Chen soon came to understand.

For the fish pond owner and his wife, Ye Chen was now a man who had been featured in the central media news flash.

They also recognized the value in Ye Chen’s good reputation, so before yesterday’s live stream ended, when Ye Chen said he would return to Haina Baichuan Fish Pond to fish the next day.

The owner and his wife must have already started preparing.

As for the onlookers around them, including some streamers and self-media.

They are probably here to join in on the excitement, or to ride the coattails of the popularity and interview Ye Chen.

The main reason is still related to his appearance on central media news.

As soon as Ye Chen got off the tricycle.

Immediately.

Woo-woo, a group of about twenty or thirty people, carrying microphones and cameras, came rushing towards Ye Chen.

However, perhaps having learned from Cui Ruogou’s fate, this group did not rudely surround Ye Chen, but cautiously kept a certain distance from him.

After all, apart from catching the giant python, Ye Chen was notoriously harsh on his detractors!

In one day, all the keyboard warriors and haters on the internet apologized to Ye Chen and deleted their comments.

They still vividly remember this incident.

So naturally, they did not want to become the next Cui Ruogou.

These people kept a considerable distance from themselves, so Ye Chen had no reason to be sour-faced.

Moreover, the reason his live streaming has so many fans is actually related to these people riding his coattails online.

If they want to leech off Ye Chen’s popularity, they will have to write articles about Ye Chen or make videos about him.

In this way, they were indirectly promoting Ye Chen.

Therefore, Ye Chen waved his hand at everyone and said politely, "Are you guys here to fish, too?"

After feigning ignorance.

Ye Chen didn’t continue to bother with these people.

He met up with the old men from the Jiang City River crew who had arrived early and greeted them.

What surprised Ye Chen was, Liao Xuexue actually came again today...

After greeting the old men, Ye Chen turned to Liao Xuexue beside him and teased, "Young lady, skipping class to come here again today?"

Who knew Liao Xuexue would snort coldly, "None of your business!"

Ye Chen smiled.

It seems it’s always interesting when this little girl talks back to him.

"Teacher Ye, welcome!"

"Teacher Ye is truly our King of Fishing at Haina Baichuan, we all watched your live stream yesterday, you managed to catch such a giant python in one go!"

"Teacher Ye, your fishing skills are absolutely remarkable, from now on you should treat our fish pond as your own home. Whenever you want to fish, just let us know in advance!"

Such enthusiasm naturally came from the owners of Haina Baichuan Fish Pond.

As the saying goes, you cannot slap a smiling face.

Moreover, Ye Chen was indeed planning to catch some good stuff from their fish pond today.

Thus, Ye Chen greeted them with a cheerful smile, looking at the bustling scene behind him, he slowly said, "Boss, Madam Boss, we meet again."

"You are really too polite!"

The boss waved his hands with a smiling face and said, "Oh no, you’re too kind!"

Ye Chen could clearly see that this couple was genuinely happy for his visit to their fish pond.

He guessed that it was because of his arrival that the fish pond had started to turn a profit.

And what the boss said next confirmed Ye Chen’s thoughts.

The boss was smiling so widely his mouth could barely close, he slowly said, "All thanks to Teacher Ye!"

"After you came to our fish pond the day before yesterday, our pond was fully booked yesterday."

"Moreover, most of the anglers who came here were scrambling to take photos with the spot where the King of Fishing, Teacher Ye, fished!"

"Starting from last night, our fish pond’s phone has been ringing off the hook!"

"All sorts of journalists and anglers have been calling, all wanting to reserve a spot for today!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen laughed and said, "That’s great, you’re making money too!"

Upon hearing this, the fish pond owner quickly waved his hand and said, "This is all thanks to your blessing, Teacher Ye. These people all came because they heard you were coming to fish here today."

"But I turned down those who wanted to reserve spots, I was worried they would disturb Teacher Ye’s fishing!"

Ye Chen burst into laughter and quickly said, "Haha, it’s not that serious, I’m here to fish, not to do anything else."

"It doesn’t make sense for me to prevent others from fishing just because I’m here, wouldn’t that make me a bully?"

"Boss, you should make your money!"

The boss and his wife smiled at each other, their faces full of surprise.

Indeed, when money is knocking on the door, how can they not earn it?

At that moment, Madam Boss also spoke up, "Since Teacher Ye has said so, we will open up the remaining spots."

"The same rules as before, Teacher Ye and your angling friends can fish for free."

"Anyone else who wants to fish will pay the same price as before."

"And for those who just want to watch the excitement, don’t waste a spot fee."

"As long as they don’t disturb Teacher Ye, our fish pond welcomes everyone to come and observe!"

Hearing Madam Boss’s words, Ye Chen couldn’t help but admire them.

This couple was indeed very smart in doing business, and they were generous.

They didn’t cash in on his fame by raising the fees for the fish pond’s spots.

Indeed.

Only in this way could the business be sustained.

At the same time, they managed to please him and prevent other anglers from having any complaints.

Most importantly, Madam Boss allowed streamers and journalists to visit freely as long as they did not disturb him.

This left a very good impression in public.

In this way, those influencers and media owe Madam Boss a favor.

After they go back, they are bound to do some promotion for them.
