5: Zhang Jun treats guests

Zhang Jun went fishing three times in a row recently and came back empty-handed three times in a row, firmly cementing his position as "Air Force Commander" in the group!

This morning, he didn't know if it was a huge stroke of luck or if Yang Qi, the "newbie," illuminated him with his beginner's halo.

He had forgotten when he last caught so many fish!

He didn't care about anything else; he had to show off his catch, absolutely had to.

Zhang Jun started taking various photos and videos of the half-box of fish.

His mouth was practically grinning to his ears, and he couldn't suppress it, muttering to himself:

"It's been so long since I caught this many fish. I have to show off in front of you guys. Let's see if you still call me the [Air Force Commander]? You're the ones with the bad luck!"

In fact, after a few hours of interaction this morning, Yang Qi truly felt that Brother Jun was very much to his liking.

A second-generation rich kid, yet he could chat with a poor young man from out of town like him for half a day without any airs.

He patiently taught him how to fish hand-in-hand, his eyes and demeanor open and generous, without the slightest hint of looking down on him.

Although there might have been a bit of showing off at first, as time passed and they started talking more, Yang Qi could feel Zhang Jun's best quality: sincerity!

That's right, it was sincerity!

Perhaps this was fate; both felt a strong connection!

They had naturally started calling each other "brother" and "Brother Jun" long ago!

"Brother Jun, wait a minute! Are you planning to post your catch on your Moments and in the fishing group to clear your name?" Yang Qi stopped Zhang Jun, who was about to send the message.

"Yes! It's been so long since I caught this many fish! Today I'm going to hold my head high! I'll slap those unlucky guys hard."

All fishermen's theoretical knowledge and actual situations are out of sync.

There's no way around it; after all, you can only catch fish if you can find them and the fishing conditions are good.

So, the fact that Zhang Jun often comes back empty-handed only means he can't find fish schools, but his theoretical knowledge is far superior to Yang Qi's, who is just lucky!

"Alright then! I'll teach you how to shoot!" Yang Qi began to assume the role of mentor.

Zhang Jun's eyes lit up after hearing that!

The two of them arranged all the fish one by one, from largest to smallest, there were as many as twenty-two.

Zhang Jun started filming, "This rock is a bit uneven! Can't lie down, absolutely can't lie down, what should I do? Who can tell me?… Hahahaha!"

He lowered his body the whole time, only filming the fish and his feet, slowly circling the two dozen fish, and when he got to the larger Sea Bass, he even deliberately used his foot to compare their size.

Amidst a burst of laughter, he even showed his face for a moment.

It was as mischievous as could be!

The two of them checked the video, then filmed three more times, before finally deciding on the best angle and most annoying tone for the one they sent to three fishing groups and their Moments!

Instantly, the fishing group exploded as if a pot had boiled over:

Hu Bu Shi Lang: "What's going on?"

Often Breaks Rods: "Air Force Commander, where did you catch these?"

Fish Don't Move, I Don't Move: "Real or fake?"

Float Doesn't Move: "It must be fake, just look at who sent the message!"

Nan Hai Gui Wang: "Commander, reply quickly!"

Air Force Little Prince: "He's an old veteran, how could he catch so many fish?"

"Quickly send me your location; I want to go see if it's real or fake."

...

In a short while, the likes on Moments had also exceeded a hundred!

Zhang Jun had already added Yang Qi to these fishing groups earlier, so the two were both looking at the group chat messages on their phones.

Under Yang Qi's guidance, Zhang Jun didn't reply a single word.

He just grinned, watching the commotion in the group, his smile reaching his ears and impossible to suppress.

He felt more refreshed than drinking an iced beverage in the middle of summer!

He then received a few calls from old friends, all asking about the fish catch.

Zhang Jun also put on a big show!

They agreed to have lunch together.

"Hahahaha! Brother, you're amazing, that trick of yours was so satisfying! I've learned a lot, big brother!

I'm so happy today! Let's go! Big brother is treating you to a meal!

Didn't you say you plan to stay here from now on? I'll introduce you to a few friends while we're at it!"

Thinking that he would be developing here in the future, getting to know more friends would definitely be beneficial, so he readily agreed.

After helping Zhang Jun move his fishing gear and catch to his SUV, Zhang Jun sent Yang Qi the restaurant address and agreed on a time, then the two parted ways.

Zhang Jun wanted to deliver some fish to his family and give some away while they were still fresh.

Of course, he kept a few for lunch with his guests.

"Selling fish! Not happening! I'm not short on money!"

Yang Qi also leisurely returned to his apartment, quickly took a shower, and changed his clothes.

Zhang Jun treated him as a friend and introduced his friends to him; if he were sloppy, it would embarrass Zhang Jun, and of course, he also wanted to leave a good impression on others.

About twenty minutes before the agreed time, Yang Qi arrived at the Gathering of All Rivers and Seas Seafood Restaurant seafood restaurant.

This seafood restaurant was very famous locally; its interior was magnificently decorated, making it a high-end restaurant in the area.

After calling Zhang Jun, Yang Qi went upstairs and found a private room.

There was a sign above the door that read "Moon over the Sea."

Knocking and entering, Zhang Jun and a slightly overweight man in his forties were chatting and laughing.

Seeing Yang Qi, Zhang Jun immediately stood up and called out, "Yang Qi! Come, come, come!"

"Let me introduce you! This is Chang Jianqiang, who is also Often Breaks Rods in the group.

You can call him Big Brother Chang!"

Turning to Chang Jianqiang, he introduced, "This is Yang Qi, from Yuzhou.

He wants to fish here with us; the fish I caught this morning were with him!"

"Hello, Big Brother Chang! My name is Yang Qi!" Yang Qi quickly took two steps forward and was the first to shake Chang Jianqiang's hand and greet him.

"Hello! I'm friends with A Jun, so I'll call you Yang Qi too! Have a seat, Yang Qi!" Chang Jianqiang said.

"Yang Qi! Two more people haven't arrived yet; let's have some tea first!"

The few of them drank tea and chatted.

After waiting for about ten minutes, two more people arrived one after another.

There was another round of introductions, handshakes, greetings, and then they all took their seats!

The two later arrivals were: one named Wang Hu, whose group nickname was "Hu Bu Shi Lang."

The other was named Chen Dakui, whose group nickname was "Nan Hai Gui Wang."

With Zhang Jun's call: "Waiter! You can start serving the dishes!"

Exquisite dishes were brought to the table one after another.

As a seafood restaurant, it naturally specialized in seafood.

However, Yang Qi, coming from an inland region, knew too little about various seafood; usually, after work, he would just casually cook something to eat by himself.

Because he was short on money, he had never even visited a seafood market.

The seafood knew him, but he didn't know these seafood!

He only knew that a few dishes were sea fish, but he didn't know what kind of fish!

There were also a few dishes of different sea shrimp and several kinds of shellfish of varying sizes.

He seemed to recognize crabs, but they were different from the swimming crabs he knew.

"Forget it! Not knowing doesn't stop me from eating you!" Yang Qi shook his head.

"But since I plan to be a fisherman in the future, I still need to learn about these seafood.

I must study this knowledge thoroughly when I get back!"

Through their conversation, Yang Qi also learned that all four of them were businessmen.

Because they were roughly the same age and all loved fishing, they became friends!

They would go fishing and drink together every few days.

Zhang Jun's three consecutive empty-handed fishing trips were also with them.

Yang Qi inherited his father's drinking capacity; his father once drank nine cups in a row without getting drunk back home, earning him the nickname "Nine Gates Admiral."

Relying on his drinking capacity, Yang Qi glanced at the wine glasses being used today, secretly calculated, and felt no pressure at all!

Also, because he was the youngest present and it was their first time meeting today, he stood up and consecutively toasted each of them a glass of wine, his expression unchanged!

Everyone also praised him profusely!
