I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 215: Invitation to the Press Conference

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Invitation to the Press Conference

Although I received the villa keys from Li Longgang by the artificial lake that day, I haven’t visited once these past few days.

Some time ago, a ten-meter-long giant python appeared in Jinbao residential community’s artificial lake, causing panic throughout the neighborhood.

Now, even though the problem with the giant python has been dealt with, there are still some rumors floating around—like a ten-meter-long python appearing is a bad omen, the snake has become a spirit, or there’s something wrong with the Feng Shui.

Ye Chen had heard similar things before.

It seems Li Longgang is planning on having me move into the community quickly to shut these people up.

After all, once I, the so-called Mystical Fishing Master, take residence in Jinbao community, these rumors will collapse on their own.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then I’ll go tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I just happen to be off work and taking a break from streaming."

Li Longgang, upon hearing what Ye Chen said, was overjoyed: "Really?"

"That’s wonderful, Master Ye, I will arrange a welcoming ceremony for you tomorrow, to warmly welcome your arrival!"

Li Longgang’s flattering tone gave Ye Chen goosebumps.

He never expected that one of the top ten businessmen in Jiang City would be so courteous to him.

It seems the incident with the giant python in the Jinbao community has indeed had a significant impact on their company...

"There’s no need for a welcoming ceremony, let’s keep things simple. I’ll arrive at Jinbao community promptly at eight tomorrow."

"Of course we must have a welcoming ceremony. Your move into Jinbao community is a major event; how could we keep it simple?" Li Longgang chuckled "hehe" and continued to speak: "Don’t worry, Master Ye, I’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to bother with anything. I’ll be waiting for you at eight sharp tomorrow!"

"Also, once you’re settled in Jinbao community tomorrow, our company will also stock the artificial lake with green carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and catfish, among other big catches. I guarantee you’ll be able to fish without leaving home!"

With that, Li Longgang didn’t give Ye Chen a chance to respond, and hung up the phone.

No matter how fawning Li Longgang was towards Ye Chen, he wasn’t foolish.

In business, it’s all about the business talk.

Once Ye Chen officially moves into Jinbao community, not only will it dispel the rumors within the community.

It will also provide a marketing stunt for their Yida Real Estate Development Company.

The number one Mystical Fishing expert, Master Ye Chen, residing in a community developed by their company.

Just that alone is enough to attract countless buyers to their property.

However, Ye Chen was very clear about this.

So, after Li Longgang hung up, he just laughed and shook his head.

"These businessmen are really cunning!"

Although he complained verbally, Ye Chen didn’t say much else.

After fishing out the giant python from the Jinbao community’s artificial lake, Li Longgang did indeed give him one million cash, and also presented him a lakeside villa in the community. The location was quite good.

It’s known that Jinbao community is famously high-end throughout Jiang City.

Being indebted to someone shortens your reach, and having accepted someone’s hospitality silences your criticism, so Ye Chen didn’t really mind Li Longgang’s little schemes.

That’s how society is, relationships between people are built on interests.

Once interests are involved, the relationship becomes complicated.

Of course, there are still pure friendships, like the one between Ye Chen and the old men of the Jiang City River squad.

There isn’t much in terms of interests between these old men and Ye Chen.

At most, they just mooch off Ye Chen’s bait or bask in his glory to save on the fee for a fishing spot or something.

However, these things are of no importance to Ye Chen, nor to those old men.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen lied down on the bed, ready to rest.

But as soon as the lights were turned off, he received a phone call from Liao Xuexue.

Seeing Liao Xuexue calling him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but look bewildered.

At this time, why would Liao Xuexue call him? What could it be about?

Once the call connected, Liao Xuexue asked somewhat hesitantly, "Are... are you asleep?"

Hearing Liao Xuexue’s voice, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Haven’t slept yet, was just about to."

After an "oh" from Liao Xuexue, the call fell into silence.

Ye Chen was puzzled.

What was this girl thinking, calling him in the middle of the night and then not speaking? What did she mean?

Meanwhile, back in her dorm, Liao Xuexue was lying on her bed, her face flushed red.

Her little face was burning hot, filled with thoughts of the scene where she had just kissed Ye Chen when he dropped her off at school.

"Hello? Is something the matter?"

It was only after Ye Chen said this that Liao Xuexue snapped back to reality.

"Oh..."

"Yes, there is something!"

Liao Xuexue quickly responded, pushing aside the complex thoughts swirling in her mind.

Then she spoke seriously, "Just now, my advisor Professor Zhou Fanghua called me."

"He asked me to inquire if you could make an appearance at Jiang City’s official news conference the day after tomorrow, that is, Saturday morning, to accept a media interview and help promote Jiang City’s tourism industry..."

"Oh yes, Professor Zhou also told me, considering it was you who found that blue and white porcelain vase, which led Mr. Jin to excavate the Tang dynasty tomb cluster, therefore, the Jiang City authorities will reward you with five hundred thousand yuan at the news conference on Saturday."

"Do you have time on Saturday?"

Ye Chen heard this and raised an eyebrow.

Well, he was in for another five hundred thousand yuan reward?

But then again, Ye Chen made the news headlines again tonight.

His popularity had soared to levels unattainable even by top-tier celebrities.

Right now, countless eyes were on him; if the Jiang City higher-ups were to acknowledge this, it would not only win over the public’s hearts but also motivate more people to contribute to society.

However, he was also well aware that his reward was likely related to Mr. Jin Tie’s praise for him on the news bulletin.

With that thought, his fondness for the old man Jin Tie increased significantly.

"Hello? Are you listening?" Liao Xuexue’s voice echoed from the phone, calling him back from his thoughts.

Ye Chen returned to the present and smiled, saying, "I’m listening. Then I’ll stop by on Saturday. Where should I go, and who should I contact?"

"Professor Zhou has already taken care of it, I’ll send you the contact details for the coordinator from Jiang City authorities in a moment."

Liao Xuexue finished speaking.

Ye Chen then smiled and asked, "Do you have time on Saturday?"

Liao Xuexue instinctively replied, "I’m free, there are no classes on Saturday."

"Since you’re free, then be my companion and come with me to the news conference on Saturday morning," he invited.
