I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 319: First Encounter with Wang Ju

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: First Encounter with Wang Ju

Seeing Zhou Tao actually waiting for him at the entrance, Ye Chen was a bit surprised.

In Ye Chen’s view, Zhou Tao was a very busy person, especially since he held the responsibilities of a team leader.

However, it was also evident that Zhou Tao was taking this matter very seriously.

"I haven’t been waiting long; I just arrived at the door."

Zhou Tao dismissed it nonchalantly with a wave of his hand.

"Let’s hurry inside. Wang Ju wants to meet with you. After I show you the way, I still have work to keep me busy."

But the fact was that Zhou Tao had already been waiting for more than ten minutes.

After all, Ye Chen had called him over ten minutes ago.

It was just that Ye Chen had only just finished his breakfast at that time.

"Zhou Sir, what has Wang Ju said about this matter?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Wang Ju has handed this matter over to me. I will be the one completing the task with you. Wang Ju even specially granted me a three-day leave for it."

"It’s just that today he wanted to meet you, seeing how you’re now a big star in Jiang City."

Zhou Tao’s words were full of teasing.

Ye Chen’s eyes twitched fiercely.

"I’m not any big star; I’m just a small streamer, that’s all."

"I haven’t seen any ’small streamer’ with over fifty million fans though!"

Ye Chen shrugged helplessly, knowing that this conversation was going nowhere. The more he tried to explain, the more Zhou Tao enjoyed teasing him.

Zhou Tao led Ye Chen to Wang Lindong’s office.

The office was neatly arranged, with a work desk, a meeting table, a bookshelf next to it, several stools, and some potted plants.

The only thing that caught Ye Chen’s attention was a large bag of Goji Tea on the table.

It seemed that Wang Ju was also someone who paid attention to health.

At middle age, one cannot help but drink Goji Tea!

Besides that, there were also many tea tins.

It seemed like Wang Ju’s work must be quite busy on a regular basis.

Drinking tea generally breaks down into two types of people.

The first kind enjoys tasting and drinking tea purely for the enjoyment of life.

The second drinks tea for work reasons, as tea can be rejuvenating, and many people who need to work overtime at night drink tea if they’re not used to coffee.

Of course, there were also people who were not particularly sensitive to tea and could still maintain their sleep after drinking it.

Just as Ye Chen was glancing over Wang Ju’s office, Wang Ju was sizing up Ye Chen.

"Wang Ju, this is Ye Chen."

"Ye Chen, this is Wang Ju from the Jiang City Police Station."

"You two go ahead and talk."

After bringing Ye Chen to Wang Ju’s office, Zhou Tao left immediately, closing the door behind him.

After taking in Wang Ju’s office, Ye Chen then observed Wang Ju himself.

Indeed, one could roughly infer a person’s character from their work environment.

Of course, as Wang Ju, his desk might be cleaned by someone else.

But those tea leaves and Goji Tea suggested that Wang Ju probably had a lot of work in his daily routine.

"Teacher Ye, I’ve long heard of your great reputation!"

"Please, have a seat quickly. Captain Zhou really should have offered you some tea when he brought you here. I’ll have to have a word with him later."

Wang Lindong flashed a hearty smile, stood up, and personally brewed a cup of Goji Tea for Ye Chen.

"Wang Ju, there’s no need to be so formal."

"Also, just calling me ’Little Ye’ is fine."

Ye Chen didn’t expect Wang Ju to be so warm-hearted, even going to the trouble of making tea for him personally.

You see, with Wang Ju’s looks, just by keeping a straight face, he could probably make the mischievous kids in the village cry.

"It’s fine, drink up. Goji is good for your health."

Wang Lindong placed the cup of Goji in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes as he looked at the cup filled halfway with Goji.

Do I look that frail?

To be given such a strong brew of Goji.

But if Zhou Tao were to find out, he would probably be quite envious of Ye Chen.

Those Goji berries were a gift from Wang Ju’s daughter—extremely precious to him, and he usually wouldn’t share them with others.

Only if someone made significant achievements would Wang Ju specially brew a cup for that person.

"Little Ye? You’re a capable person, and I obviously need to show you the utmost respect, so calling you ’Teacher Ye’ is only appropriate."

Wang Lindong said, showing a genial smile and sipped his tea.

"Teacher Ye, I have seen your videos. Your fishing techniques... I doubt I could ever match them in my lifetime."

Hearing Wang Lindong’s words, Ye Chen wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.

On one hand, it seemed like Wang Ju was deprecating him, yet his eyes betrayed a look of admiration and envy while he spoke.

On the other hand, Wang Ju’s comments didn’t exactly sound like praising.

For a fisherman, the cruellest comments are the direct or indirect suggestions that you can’t catch fish.

It’s similar to two fisherman arguing over some grudge; if one curses the other with "May you always come back empty-handed," then there’s no chance of reconciliation.

"Teacher Ye, I used to go fishing quite often when I was young, but now, because of work, I just don’t have the time to do so."

If it were anyone else saying this, Ye Chen would never believe it. A true fishing enthusiast, no matter their job, will always find time for fishing.

But standing before him was the Director of Jiang City Police Station, who had to deal with all sorts of issues concerning the public order and various problems of Jiang City.

If he didn’t handle them well, it could affect the citizens of Jiang City.

"By the way, Teacher Ye, I noticed you talk about Mysticism when fishing, is that true?"

Wang Lindong’s smile faded a bit as he asked the question, squinting his eyes.

"It’s not really Mysticism, just joking around. As a promising young representative of our nation, we must believe in science," Ye Chen solemnly stated.

If the system could talk, it would surely say,

"I don’t buy your nonsense."

Of course, Ye Chen knew that in front of Wang Lindong, one should never talk about Mysticism.

"The fishing techniques you employ, Teacher Ye, really are not something an ordinary person could learn," Wang Lindong seemed quite satisfied with this answer and silently nodded.

After all, the short videos to be filmed later would essentially represent the officials.

It’s fine privately, but when it comes to filming, you can’t just blab about Mysticism.

Wang Lindong also knew that Ye Chen was pretty enigmatic; besides fish, he could catch anything, as if the fish were fated never to be caught by him.

But an official video is an official video; some things can be said, and some can’t.

Just like when fishing that 500-plus-pounds python in Jinbao Residential Complex, the police station couldn’t be involved officially; they could only send Zhou Tao as an intermediary to speak with Jinbao’s property management, letting them coordinate with Ye Chen.

Therefore, the world of adults is complicated; you can’t just consider what’s on the surface.
