I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 306: Unveiling the Red Cloth

Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Unveiling the Red Cloth

"Even if Teacher Ye is a strange person, he can’t escape convention!"

"If it were me going there, I’d probably be grinning more than Teacher Ye!"

"If I had known the atmosphere on site was so good today, I would have rushed over too!"

"Hahahaha brothers, I’m at the scene, you can’t feel the atmosphere through the screen, I’ll go take a photo with Teacher Ye later!"

Accompanied by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, the proprietress and the boss came to Ye Chen’s side, smiling as they spoke: "Teacher Ye, actually, we have an idea, we would like to ask you to unveil the red cloth with us!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.

After all, this newly opened Haina Baichuan Fish Pond was the boss and the proprietress’s venue.

Logically speaking, only the hosts should unveil it.

Today, he was merely a guest, and asking him to help with the unveiling, wouldn’t that be somewhat inappropriate?

Seeing the hesitation in Ye Chen’s eyes, the sharp proprietress saw through Ye Chen’s concerns in a glance, smiling as she said: "Teacher Ye, today is an important day for our new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond."

"On such an important day, having the chance to bask in your good fortune is an honor for our fish pond!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes; with things put this way, if he refused, he would be giving the boss and the proprietress a huge snub.

After all, there were so many people on the scene, and also several hundred thousand viewers watching in the live stream room.

"No problem."

"I might as well bask in the joy of your opening ceremony; when I fish today, I definitely won’t come away empty-handed!"

Ye Chen said confidently.

Hearing this, the proprietress and the boss couldn’t help but exchange glances, but Ye Chen didn’t see it.

For a moment, they stopped short, not knowing what else to say.

They had seen Ye Chen’s fishing skills before.

At the pond that spanned ten acres, there were a total of thirty thousand pounds of fish, everyone else had a huge catch, only Ye Chen hadn’t caught a single fish.

At this moment, although the proprietress and the boss didn’t say a word, their silence spoke volumes.

And their words also reached the ears of the viewers in the live stream room.

"The bosses actually took the initiative to invite Teacher Ye to unveil the red cloth, what a grand gesture!"

"The boss has really opened up!"

"Hahaha, did you guys not see the expressions on the proprietress and boss’s faces after Teacher Ye finished speaking?"

"Indeed, I think no matter whose fortune Teacher Ye tries to rub off on, he still won’t be able to catch any fish today!"

"Let me put it here today, I bet Teacher Ye still won’t catch any fish; if he does, I’ll perform a handstand and wash my hair for everyone."

"I’m in!"

"I’m in too!"

"What are you guys talking about?"

"I’m a new fan, and I seriously suspect the brothers in the live stream room are getting together to gamble; can you include me too?"

...

The live stream room was full of people teasing Ye Chen, thinking that even with the luck of the new fish pond opening, he still wouldn’t be able to catch any fish.

The old fans have already started teasing, only the new fans are still confused, not knowing what everyone is talking about.

Because the proprietress and the boss were standing to the left and right of Ye Chen, he didn’t see the expressions on their faces.

Despite the live stream room’s chat barrages flying past quickly, he still caught sight of it.

This made Ye Chen’s corner of his eye twitch uncontrollably.

He recalled the last time at Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, when they created a scene.

A total of thirty thousand jin of fish, and yet he did not catch a single one.

On the contrary, as soon as Liao Xuexue took over the fishing rod from him, she immediately got a bite.

Ye Chen, gritting his teeth at the teasing barrages in the live stream room, declared: "Watch me, today I will definitely catch a fish!"

"Starting today, I’m going to change the way you fans friends think of me!"

After throwing down those fierce words, Ye Chen followed the owner and his wife to the signboard, took the pole from the staff, and unveiled the red cloth with them.

At this moment, Liao Xuexue was staring intently at Ye Chen, lost in thought as she watched the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Old Liao, who was originally engrossed in watching the dancing girls, glanced out of the corner of his eye to see his granddaughter so mesmerized by Ye Chen that he instantly felt anxious.

Just as Old Liao was about to approach them, Old Zhang suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the fireworks area.

"Old Liao, it’s been years since we’ve set off fireworks, looks like there are some over there, let’s go and have some fun!"

"My foot, what fireworks to set off, I’m... how old am I, still playing with fireworks."

Old Liao originally wanted to say he should keep an eye on his granddaughter and not let her get too close to Ye Chen.

But upon further thought, he realized that if he unconsciously blurted out these words, he would surely be the butt of the joke among Old Zhang and the others.

So, he made an excuse to get away from Old Zhang and the others, to keep a close watch on his granddaughter.

But Old Zhang looked at him contemptuously and said: "What does age have to do with fireworks? If you’re afraid to set them off, just say so. You haven’t set off fireworks as a kid, have you?"

"My foot, I’ve set off cow dung when I was a kid!" Old Liao instantly puffed his chest and glared, speaking defiantly.

"That’s nothing, when I was a kid, I even blew up the neighbor’s manure pit!"

Old Li expressed his disdain openly.

"Then stop yapping, hurry up and set off the fireworks, and find the taste of childhood."

And so, Old Liao was dragged off by the other old fellows to set off fireworks.

As for Ye Chen, after unveiling the red cloth, he was surrounded by a bunch of people on site.

After all, Ye Chen is now a big celebrity in Jiang City.

Be it from Haina Baichuan pulling up a Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain worth tens of millions or the more than five-hundred-jin python caught in Jinbao Community, Ye Chen’s fame spread far and wide.

Not only has he amassed a huge online fanbase, but he’s also become a local celebrity in Jiang City.

In fact, for today’s grand opening of the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, not only did regulars come, but many people also heard the news that Ye Chen would be there.

So they especially wanted to come see this famous ’Mystical Fishing’ master, Teacher Ye Chen.

After all, they’ve heard about it.

Except for not being able to catch fish, Ye Chen could catch all sorts of strange things.

So for today’s grand opening of Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, aside from giving his blessings, Teacher Ye Chen would surely be fishing as well.

They came to the scene, wanting to see what kind of things Ye Chen could fish out in this newly opened fishpond.

After all, this was a new spot allocated to the owner and his wife—it was nothing like the riverside or those long-established shady pits.

One would assume that besides fish, there should be no other things in this newly opened fish pond.

Now it was uncertain whether Ye Chen could catch any weird and wondrous things.

"Teacher Ye, I’m your fan, can you give me an autograph? I specially flew here from Hang City just to find you."
