Chapter 706: Chapter 297: The Journey to Australia_2

"What about CCTV? And our planned international business expansion? How is the development going?"

"Great! You could say it’s blooming in all directions, the returns in several areas have far exceeded expectations, and the money we invested before has already been recouped; we also earned a wealth of connections. Tonight, I’ve even arranged a welcome dinner with several high-level leaders for you.

I won’t hide it from you, brother; I’ve already set up the international hunting and fishing company. We’re operational now. If you want to go on a fishing trip abroad, it’s just a phone call away. All the other travel arrangements will be taken care of for you!"

"Okay, we’ll talk about other things tonight. I want to ask, have we prepared lunch? I’ve been in the wilderness for two months, and my taste buds are almost fading. Now that I’m finally back, I have to have a few good meals no matter what."

"The kitchen’s keeping it warm, let’s go, time to eat! Try the skills of the new master chef I hired, who specializes in state banquets." With a grand wave of his hand, Lu Cheng led Lin Yang to the restaurant.

The meal that followed was probably even more exaggerated than a live broadcast of a wilderness challenge. My goodness, was that a civilized person? It was more like a starving ghost reincarnated as a barbarian.

Why do you say that?

With the well-crafted, relatively bland and mild-tasting dishes on the table, Lin Yang only took a few bites before he stopped touching them entirely.

On the other hand, he really favored the dishes with stronger flavors: sour, sweet, spicy, mustard, garlic, and the like.

He almost turned his chopsticks into a pair of fiery wheels, shoveling food into his cheeks in a whirlwind of motion.

During the meal, the sauce dishes were refilled three times before he was satisfied, and Yue’er’s eyes turned red again. How much hardship had this child endured during those two months away?

Keeping the evening’s banquet in mind, Lin Yang didn’t drink much at lunch.

After the meal, he didn’t stand on ceremony with Lu Cheng. He found an empty guest room to catch up on some sleep.

After over ten hours on the plane, he hadn’t really rested. The tension didn’t make him feel tired, but as soon as he relaxed, sleep quickly overcame him.

He slept straight through from two in the afternoon until six-thirty in the evening, when Yue’er specially came to knock on his door, and he was called up in a daze.

Guests had already arrived.

The evening’s welcome banquet was much more formal than the midday family feast.

Lu Cheng’s high-ranking friends arrived as promised; taking advantage of the occasion, Lin Yang elevated his network once again. He handled himself quite steadily all evening, dining until half past nine before the event broke up.

Lin Yang had also drunk his fill, downing more than a jin of over-ten-year-old Maotai by himself, but the evening’s drinking was worth it.

Lu Cheng’s leader had made it clear they would engage in deep collaboration with the wild fishing project team, and guaranteed broadcast time on CCTV. As for more in-depth cooperation off-camera, that wasn’t something to be discussed over dinner.

After the guests left, Lu Cheng even pulled Lin Yang aside and whispered about company matters, offering Lin Yang stock options. This was a bit of a surprise, but considering he might also contribute in the future, he accepted it.

Having eaten his fill and drunk heartily, Lin Yang enjoyed a comfortable hot bath. A shower was no longer enough to satisfy him.

.....

The next day.

Lin Yang and Lu Cheng discussed some future development directions further until past three in the afternoon. Then, Lin Yang and Yue’er packed their bags and hurried to the airport to fly directly to Jiangdong City.

It had been two months since he last visited, and Jiangdong City had transitioned from the lingering summer to a vibrant autumn. Upon exiting the airport, the ginkgo trees lining the roads had turned their leaves yellow, which made him a little dazed.

Back at home, Lin Yang and Yue’er relaxed quite a bit. Having already informed his parents, they had prepared a meal in advance and dinner was another indulgence.

During the first few days back home, there wasn’t much to do. One day meeting with a friend, the next going out for drinks with another. For the first few days, he was basically busy socializing.

It wasn’t until a week later that he finally found the leisure to settle down and truly enjoy some rest.

However, he had rested at home for less than ten days when he received a message from Lu Cheng.

It was about the next overseas fishing trip. The itinerary was set and confirmed for three days later, with Australia as the destination.

It was mid-October in China. Although the south wasn’t too cold yet, it wasn’t very conducive to fishing.

But Australia, being in the tropics, offered good fishing all year round, so Lin Yang was really looking forward to the upcoming trip.

After such a long rest, he could finally enjoy fishing again!

Aside from him and Yue’er, Li Xiaopeng, his old partner, would also join the trip.

Besides them, several tourists from within the country would also head to Australia together.

The trip was organized by their fishing guide company, naturally including paying customers. As for Lin Yang and his party, they didn’t have to pay since he was a shareholder in the fishing guide company.

Since it was an international flight, they arrived early at the capital.

After boarding the plane, the flight went directly to Sydney, and from there, they transferred to Tasmania Island.

Tasmania Island is also known as the state of Tasmania, the only island state in the Australian Federation.

Tasmania lies south of Australia, separated by the Bass Strait; known as the "end of the world," it is dominated by nature.
