Chapter 314: Chapter 314: A Smile Never Disappears, It Only Shifts

Zhou Tao’s eye twitched uncontrollably.

"Are you so obsessed with money, kiddo?"

"You’re living in a villa now, do you still care about that little bonus?"

"Of course not, what’s important is the honor of rescuing a national first-class protected animal. I can even brag about it when I have children in the future!"

Ye Chen put on an appearance of moral grandeur, almost convincing Zhou Tao.

"Since that’s the case, let me tell you some good news. For your indirect role in rescuing the Tiger Head Eagle, I will help you apply for a commendation flag. As for the bonus, sorry, but according to the regulations, there really isn’t one."

Zhou Tao patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, sporting an admiring smile that was actually hiding a sneer.

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately froze in place, his smile stiffening as well.

The viewers in the live stream room certainly saw Ye Chen’s stiff smile.

"Hahaha, I didn’t expect Teacher Ye to have such a side."

"I know Teacher Ye is bold, but I didn’t expect him to be this gutsy, asking for a bonus so frankly from sir."

"Teacher Ye’s smile was so splendid just now, but now it has transferred to my face."

"Right, a smile never disappears, it just moves elsewhere."

"Teacher Ye is already so rich, would he still care about that little bonus?"

"What do you know, that’s Teacher Ye’s simple and unadorned style. I guess there are only two things in the world that can make Teacher Ye happy: one is catching fish, and the other is getting bonuses from sir."

"This is too funny, I must clip this part and share it online."

Many viewers were already preparing to review the live replay later to clip that particular segment.

This scene was simply too hilarious for words.

"No bonus, no bonus, got my hopes up for nothing."

Ye Chen muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?" Zhou Tao seemed to hear Ye Chen’s muttering and turned to ask.

"Nothing much, is sir Zhou preparing to leave?"

"Of course, do you think I’m like you? I still have work to do, you keep adding to my workload every now and then." Zhou Tao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Ye Chen gave an awkward smile.

"Sir Zhou, I really didn’t do it on purpose, we can only blame those poachers."

"Right, there’s no bonus for this matter, but I have an idea. After you finish up and end the stream, come find me, I’ll be right next door taking some notes."

While speaking, sir Zhou also glanced at Ye Chen’s live stream phone.

Ye Chen nodded, since sir Zhou had said so, it must be something important.

After sir Zhou left, the pond owners came to Ye Chen with apologetic smiles.

"Teacher Ye, we are sorry about today’s incident. If it weren’t for our idea, it wouldn’t have caused you trouble."

Ye Chen shook his head.

"How can this be blamed on you? It’s all fate. Even if I hadn’t caught the Tiger Head Eagle, someone else might have."

Hearing this, the pond owners felt a little better, but they still felt somewhat guilty towards Ye Chen, and wanted to give him some fish as compensation.

But Ye Chen firmly refused.

They are running a fish pond, how could they give away fish like that?

Moreover, Ye Chen wasn’t interested in fish he hadn’t caught himself.

After chatting with the pond owners for a bit, Ye Chen stood in front of the live stream camera, chatted with the viewers for a while, and then ended the stream.

After all, sir Zhou had things to discuss with him.

However, this also made the live stream viewers reluctant to part, especially since Ye Chen hadn’t streamed for over ten days, and today he had to end the stream so soon.

But hearing that sir Zhou wanted to chat with Ye Chen, everyone could only express understanding.

The grand opening of the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond had some hiccups, but still went smoothly.

Even though the first catch Ye Chen made was a Tiger Head Eagle, the first catch was still a catch.

Therefore, many fishing enthusiasts dispersed to find their favorite spots to fish.

Old Liao and others knew that sir Zhou was looking for Ye Chen, and it wasn’t their business to join in. Besides, fishing was more interesting.

Liao Xuexue didn’t follow them either but went with Old Liao and the others. Since Ye Chen wasn’t there, and the fishing rod wasn’t being used, she took the opportunity to fish with Ye Chen’s rod.

It’s worth mentioning that today, many netizens came because of Ye Chen.

So, before everyone started fishing, quite a few people dressed up as Ye Chen, wearing Daoist robes, carrying Peach Wood Swords, and muttering as if they were performing a ritual.

This became the spectacle of the day, and the pond owners took out their phones to capture this unique scene, planning to share it on their accounts afterward.

...

"Sir Zhou, what did you need to see me for?"

Ye Chen came to sir Zhou’s car.

At the moment, sir Zhou was recording details of the case and looked up, a bit surprised to see Ye Chen coming so quickly, and he stopped his work.

"That was fast, finished fishing?"

Ye Chen’s cheek twitched; after the big misunderstanding he had caused today, thinking it was the Tiger Head Eagle that had swallowed his fish, how could he be in the mood to continue fishing?

Probably after he gets back, Old Liao and the others will definitely ridicule him about it.

With so many fish in the pond, he couldn’t catch any, but he managed to catch a Tiger Head Eagle that was injured and got into the fish pond because of it. It seemed like today was not a day for fishing.

"It’s because you, sir Zhou, said you had something to discuss, right?"

"Ha ha ha, okay then, I’ll just say it."

Sir Zhou patted Ye Chen’s shoulder, then his smile suddenly faded, and he began to speak with a serious expression: "What is your opinion on poachers?"

"Or rather, how much do you understand about poachers?"

Seeing sir Zhou’s serious expression, Ye Chen realized that sir Zhou was very serious about this matter.

"I’ve heard a bit before; poachers usually operate along our country’s borders or in remote areas of deep mountains and forests. They mostly poach protected animals for huge profits."

"As for the rest, I haven’t encountered them. Just speaking of this time, if the injury on the Tiger Head Eagle was really caused by a poacher, if it weren’t for a stroke of luck today, that eagle would likely have died."

"You could say that as a young man of the new generation, destined to be the future successor of our country, I abhor their criminal actions!"

While speaking, Ye Chen didn’t forget to praise himself a bit.

Sir Zhou sighed and then said: "Don’t you feel that over these years, there hasn’t been much news about poachers?"

Ye Chen thought carefully, and it seemed true.

Back in the days when the internet wasn’t so developed, one could hear about poachers, but now that information is widely available, it seems less common.

Ye Chen nodded and asked: "Sir Zhou, why is that?"
