Chapter 576: Chapter 252: To the Congo River

The quality of the footage we shot earlier was evident to Lu Cheng, and many shots were probably impossible to capture even with the million-dollar equipment back at the station.

There’s no need to mention the gap in personal ability when it comes to Lin Yang, he has long since proven his standing in the circle with his own strength.

Looking across the country, no, across the entire world, he is an absolutely top-tier angler, and even could be called an adventurer.

"Brother Lu, if there are any resources you can fight for, don’t hold back, just go for it boldly. I believe Master Lin will certainly not disappoint you or your leaders."

Xia Xiaoxue was definitely a person with very high emotional intelligence, her words were perfectly pitched, clearly and accurately conveying what Lin Yang was too modest to say himself.

Moreover, at first glance, her words seemed to be speaking up for Lin Yang, but from another perspective, wasn’t she also giving Lu Ping something to ponder?

For a unit like CCTV, without much backing, it’s tremendously hard to stand out.

Now that Lu Cheng had hitched his wagon to Lin Yang’s star, as long as he continued to deliver steady results, his voice in the unit would grow stronger, and his status would rise accordingly.

As long as he maintained a good relationship with Lin Yang, nobody would easily shake Lin Yang’s foundations; after all, they were now on the same side of the battle for mutual benefits.

Lin Yang picked up his wine glass with a smile, "I’ve never talked about collaborating with others. Hasn’t Brother Cheng been doing quite well? Come on, Brother Cheng, let’s deepen our friendship, just the two of us."

Lu Cheng was not to be outdone, raising his glass to meet Lin Yang’s, and downing the two-shot glass in one gulp.

"Younger brother Lin Yang, let me tell you, as long as you’re in this profession even one more day, I will sponsor you for one more day. You don’t have to worry about anything at the unit anymore. From now on, I will be your personal major domo, coordinating and tracking all affairs for you."

A cup of liquor seemed to have unblocked Lu Cheng’s meridians as he took on all of Lin Yang’s responsibilities.

Lin Yang was also a spirited person and likewise drank his glass of liquor in one go.

The welcome dinner became much more genuine after that, everyone let down their guard and spoke freely, sharing the kind of talk only close friends and family would. It wasn’t until they were full and satisfied that the gathering ended.

Lu Cheng arranged a designated driver to take Lin Yang, who had drunk quite a bit, back to his hotel. Good lord, they had booked a presidential suite that cost over ten-thousand a night. Both he and Yue’er were stunned by such generous arrangements.

A long story where words are due, a short one otherwise, they stayed in the capital for a day, adjusting their jetlag, and took the afternoon flight the next day to return home after bidding farewell to Lu Cheng and his group.

After spending so much time in the Amazon Rainforest and returning to his hometown, Lin Yang took a few days to adjust to both the time difference and the climate change.

After coming back, he didn’t run around much, had small gatherings with a few friends and family, showed his face at the fishing farm and ranch. Lately, things had been calm and peaceful, his dad’s business was thriving with substantial earnings rolling in every day, a very healthy and vibrant state.

With Uncle managing the fish farm, there was nothing for Lin Yang to worry about, so he had even more energy to focus on his live streaming account.

Back home, after his entire Amazon fishing trip, he needed to sort through various video materials, and keep the live stream account updated with new video content continuously.

However, these tasks were handled by Yue’er, and even many followers helped by editing and sharing his videos.

Actually, during the time Lin Yang had been live streaming, many savvy followers had already started doing similar things.

They followed Lin Yang’s account closely, set up notifications for when he went live, then, once he started streaming, they would record the entire session at the highest resolution.

They would then pick out the exciting moments, edit them, and turn them into clips to post on their own accounts to gain followers.

Seriously speaking, this sort of behavior can be considered infringing, but Lin Yang never stopped it; in fact, while live streaming, he even encouraged his followers to do so.

Running an account doesn’t necessarily mean being limited to one account. With his influence, Lin Yang could completely employ a matrix-style marketing approach.

Now that so many followers were willing to work on this without pay, it greatly benefited his popularity and the spread of his influence. As for Lin Yang taking the lion’s share of the fame and fortune, while the workers earned little, he didn’t see that as an issue at all.

Lin Yang had been resting and recuperating for a few days when good news soon came his way.

The world record assessment coordinated by Lu Cheng on behalf of CCTV for Lin Yang had yielded results.

After all, it was an official unit with grade "A" requesting verification and the materials provided were extremely comprehensive, just like the last time Lin Yang caught the giant Bluefin.

In the Amazon Rainforest, he broke two world record entries for individual freshwater species. One was for a giant Snaggletooth and the other was for a tank duckbill catfish.

These two records added two more world records to Lin Yang’s name.

With only so many large fish species available for fishing around the globe, each record Lin Yang broke meant someone else was knocked off the leaderboard for their fish species.

Previously, the WAA World Angling Association was dominated by foreign anglers, but now, as a young angler himself, Lin Yang continually broke forum records and once again boldly announced his presence to the world.
