77: Rewards for the Baiyun Lake event

Following Chen Wen and the other into the restaurant, they arrived at a small private room and pushed the door open.

There were a total of 3 people sitting in the private room, all looking to be around forty or fifty years old.

One of them was the head of the investigation team they had met last time - Zhang Jianguo.

Seeing the three young men arrive, Zhang Jianguo stood up and greeted them, "Come, everyone please sit down, the dishes will be here soon."

The three smiled and nodded, finding seats.

After the three had sat down, Zhang Jianguo spoke again.

"Come, let me introduce these two beside me first."

"This is the Deputy Director of the Linhai City Culture and Tourism Bureau."

"This is the Deputy Minister of the Linhai City Fisheries Department."

Chen Xiangbei and the others immediately stood up to shake hands and greet the two.

Seeing how nervous they looked while shaking hands, Zhang Jianguo smiled and said.

"Relax, today we're just having a simple meal and chat, and also thanking you for your contributions to Linhai City."

At this time, the Deputy Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau echoed.

"Yes, first of all, we have to thank you brothers for bringing such a large amount of traffic to our Linhai City."

"We predict this wave of traffic will bring 3 to 5 times the revenue to Linhai City's tourism projects."

"This is all thanks to you bringing up the Baiyun Lake Water Monster, which has greatly relieved the pressure on our tourism industry!"

Facing this situation, Chen Xiangbei and Zhao Hu were both a bit uncomfortable and turned to look at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen knew that neither of them was good at such occasions, so he spoke up.

"What contribution? We just love fishing, and go out to fish to pass the time when we have nothing to do."

"We didn't expect to encounter this Water Monster, and since we had our fishing gear, we thought we'd give it a try."

"And we actually managed to catch it! As fishermen, it's our honor to be able to catch such a big guy."

Zhang Jianguo was very satisfied with Chen Wen's humble answer.

"Stop being so humble, your dad even called me and said you finally did something decent."

"Hehe, Zhang Shu, please don't praise me, this is the result of the three of us working together," Chen Wen said, scratching his head.

"Alright, look at you!"

"I'll tell you a few more things, pay attention."

Hearing the words "pay attention," their hearts tightened again.

"First, the city is preparing to award you three a certificate of commendation and a bonus to commend your contributions."

"Of course, the bonus may not be too high, after all, the significance of encouragement is greater than the material significance."

"This matter will be implemented in two days, and there might be a small press conference then. You can wait for a while and be prepared for interviews."

"Second, Baiyun Lake will be designated as a nature reserve in the future, and fishing will be prohibited there except for scientific research."

"It's still possible now, the approval process for the nature reserve will take some time."

"If you want to fish, take advantage of the time you have and fish to your heart's content!"

"Third, there are already results regarding the research on the Water Monster."

"After overnight research by the expert group, it was discovered that this large fish, similar to a giant sturgeon, is an aquatic giant panda that has mutated - the Chinese sturgeon."

"The Chinese sturgeon was already extinct in 2019. This discovery has brought tremendous and far-reaching significance to society and the country!"

"This is an important reason why the higher-ups decided to establish the Baiyun Lake nature reserve."

"Research experts suggest releasing this Chinese sturgeon back into Baiyun Lake, as it is the most suitable place for it to live."

"At the same time, this is also the key point in deciding to reward you."

"The organization is very grateful to you for letting us see a national treasure-level big fish again!"

The three brothers were stunned after hearing this.

It was just catching a big fish, how did it become a matter for the whole society!

Chen Xiangbei was particularly relieved at this moment.

If he had been blinded by greed at the time and kept this fish for himself, he would have faced very serious trouble.

Fortunately, he was no longer troubled by money at this point.

Chen Wen said to Zhang Jianguo uncomfortably.

"Zhang Shu, please stop praising us, we're already floating in the sky!"

"Let's eat quickly, the dishes are getting cold!"

"Hahaha, you kid can be uncomfortable too, when you were a child, you dared to climb on the roof and remove tiles in the courtyard!"

"Hehe, I've grown up now, I have to make some progress, right? My dad's seven wolves belt is not joking with me."

"Hahaha…"

Everyone laughed heartily, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Next, everyone ate and chatted together.

During this time, Chen Wen vividly recounted the thrilling and exciting struggle with the big fish.

At the same time, the elders were all amazed by Chen Xiangbei's unparalleled strength and superb fishing skills.

The big fish, which was over 6 meters long and weighed over 1500 kilograms, was pulled up by him.

Isn't this just a natural talent for fishing?

If he were put out to sea, breaking the record for the largest Tuna in Little Sakura would be easy, wouldn't it?

3 PM.

The meal was enjoyable for both hosts and guests, and everyone got to know each other better.

Chen Xiangbei was fortunate to get the phone numbers of several leaders, and he would have plenty of opportunities to interact with them in the future.

Since everyone had had a little to drink.

So everyone called for a designated driver to drive their cars back.

Before leaving, Zhang Jianguo told Chen Wen to keep in touch, and he would notify them when the reward came down.

After saying goodbye to the others, the designated driver drove him home.

On the way, Chen Xiangbei was thinking.

Once the Baiyun Lake nature reserve is established, fishing will be prohibited.

At that time, he didn't know where to find such a productive place to fish.

He could only take advantage of these few days to fish more.

Using the popularity of the Water Monster incident, he would hand over the fish to Ouyang for sale to maximize profits as quickly as possible.

Anyway, he was going on a graduation trip in three days, so earning more travel expenses wouldn't be bad.

The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed.

So, he decided to live on the boat for the next few days and fish for three days and three nights.

Twenty minutes later, the designated driver safely dropped him off in the Galaxy International parking lot.

Chen Xiangbei was in a good mood and paid him an extra 200 yuan.

The designated driver happily thanked him, "Thank you, Boss, you are generous, it was a pleasure to serve you!"

Chen Xiangbei smiled, said goodbye to the designated driver, and took the elevator home.

Back home.

He opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of lime juice, and gulped it down to sober up.

His strong physical fitness greatly improved his recovery ability.

The tearing soreness he felt in the morning was much better now.

As long as he didn't drastically exert his body, there was no discomfort.

With a physique three times that of a normal person, his recovery ability was far greater than three times.

After drinking the lime juice.

He went back to his room, found his pajamas, and took a shower in the bathroom to wash away the smell of alcohol.
