I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

The fishing tackle shop was eerily silent.

Only Boss Zhu's heavy breathing could be heard, one breath after another.

"Difference."

Jiang Qian folded the letter of commendation again and stuffed it back into his backpack.

"It is indeed quite bad."

He was still talking to himself.

"We can't eat it, we can't sell it, and we wasted an entire afternoon, and in the end, all we got was this piece of paper."

He was still deliberately keeping a straight face, but inside he was really about to break down—

It's so much fun for the guys to show off!

"Spotted...spotted softshell turtle."

It was Boss Zhu who reacted first; he finally regained his voice, which was trembling violently.

He grabbed Jiang Qian's arm with surprising strength.

"Little Jiang! Is it really a Yangtze giant softshell turtle? Alive? And caught right here in Yinshan Lake?"

A barrage of questions came crashing down on me.

Jiang Qian felt a little dizzy from being shaken by him and pulled her hand away.

"Boss Zhu, calm down. It's just a turtle, it's just a little ugly."

The more he said that, the more excited Boss Zhu became.

"A little ugly? That's a living fossil! A national treasure!"

Boss Zhu was so excited his face turned red, and he was spitting as he spoke. "You caught it with our fishing gear?"

He was overjoyed.

Luckily, I knelt down quickly!

Fishermen are very particular about these things!

With this for advertising, wouldn't we be able to make a fortune?

Thank goodness they apologized quickly!

The anglers who were watching the spectacle were completely blown away.

"Holy crap, is this for real? You caught a Class I protected animal while fishing?"

"What incredible luck this young man has! He must be blessed with good fortune!"

"Didn't those two guys just say he was in the Air Force and was bragging?"

"Your face must be swollen from being slapped, hahaha."

"..."

The slightly overweight man couldn't stand it any longer.

He felt that everyone in the store was staring at him, their eyes filled with mockery.

He pulled Old Zhang, who was still in a daze, and they practically ran away.

Boss Zhu looked at Jiang Qian and said with a grin, "Alright, alright, I'll give you a discount!"

"10% off! How about that?"

This is nothing to him!

Although these fishing gear are 10% off, which is a good way to make money off him, so what?

In comparison, the guy who caught something good is clearly more useful!

Jiang Qian was overjoyed. What a surprise!

You should know that he only had about three thousand yuan in his hands, and he was actually very distressed about losing that amount of money.

A 10% discount is really great for him.

"well……"

Even after paying, Jiang Qian still felt a little heartbroken.

More than three thousand yuan!

This was almost all of his savings.

"But using lure fishing should allow me to earn a little more, right?"

Jiang Qian thought about it and was quite satisfied.

He walked to the corner and picked up the cat owner who had been lying quietly.

The little guy yawned lazily, found a comfortable position in his arms, and continued to squint.

"Boss Zhu, I'm heading back now."

"Okay, okay!"

Boss Zhu nodded repeatedly.

"Come again next time, I'll give you a discount!"

Jiang Qian carried the cat and walked out of the fishing tackle shop.

The sky had darkened, and the streetlights were just coming on.

The evening breeze felt wonderful on my face.

After showing off, Jiang Qian naturally wouldn't sit idle.

Back in Dai Zhenli's apartment complex, he went upstairs and opened the door, familiar with the area.

It wasn't even dark yet, so Dai Zhenli not going home was entirely within Jiang Qian's imagination.

The administrative capabilities of a certain college at a certain university are roughly equal to those of the giant softshell turtle he caught today. Dai Zhenli hasn't gone home yet, and at this point in time, Jiang Qian can almost completely guess that Dai Zhenli is still struggling with the administrative department.

Mentioning this, Jiang Qian once again thought of some of the administrators at Suzhou University, who were truly incompetent. These incompetent people had a ton of crazy ideas in their heads, and then dumped all sorts of messy things on the students.

Jiang Qian left the cat owner at home and then took out a rug and laid it on the floor.

He put the cat owner on the ground, and the little guy skillfully ran to his food bowl, turned around and meowed at him.

"Little Bread, you eat some fish first... I'll go cook."

The cat owner clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the term "whole wheat bread" again, meowed, and then had his mouth stuffed with a fish's mouth.

Jiang Qian turned on the light. The living room was tidy and organized, but it lacked a bit of human warmth.

He walked up to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took a look.

The ingredients inside were quite plentiful, with various vegetables and meats neatly categorized.

"I'm getting a little hungry while waiting..." Jiang Qian rubbed his stomach. "Let's not wait any longer, let's cook first."

He decided to give Dai Zhenli a surprise.

"What would a pretty senior do if she saw a guy had cooked dinner for her at home?"

Jiang Qian couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.

It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for Dai Zhenli. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful senior who expresses her affection so frankly?

But ever since I learned that Dai Zhenli is a bit high in offense but low in defense.

Jiang Qian actually wanted to see Dai Zhenli's expression more...

……

Meanwhile, on the street not far from the residential area.

Dai Zhenli was walking while answering the phone, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

A slightly anxious female voice came from the phone receiver.

"Son, what have you thought about what I told you?"

"Go home and get married soon. A young woman like you shouldn't be wandering around like this!"

"Come home early, take the civil service exam. You're a graduate of a 211 university, and Mom will find you a partner. Wouldn't it be nice to live a happy and peaceful life together?"

"Everything is peaceful and safe!"

Dai Zhenli seemed a little impatient. "Mom, how many times have I told you this?"

"I don't want to go home."

"I'm still young. Should I settle down and live a peaceful life instead of being stuck at home forever?"

The other side was clearly getting anxious, and said:

"How could your mother possibly harm you?"

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this after you graduate."

"By the way, hurry up and turn on your WeChat verification message! How can you not allow people to add you as a friend?"

Dai Zhenli was speechless and said:

"Stop pushing people at me, I'm not going to talk to you."

She could almost certainly guess that her mother had pushed her WeChat account out again.

"Besides, my Western Development Program is almost complete, why would I go home? I already have a destination in mind!"

The mother on the other end was clearly getting impatient, slapping her thigh: "How...how could you disobey me?"

"What future does your Western Development Plan have? Will going west put food on the table?"

"You're about to squander all the money you made from your startup during your junior year of college, aren't you?"

Dai Zhenli slowed her pace, looking at the warm lights of the apartment building in the distance, her voice tinged with weariness.

"Mom, didn't we agree that you'd give me a year?"

"Wouldn't it be better if I worked for a year and then thought about these issues?"

"That place is stable too. Although it's not high, it's the path I chose!"

The voice on the other end of the phone rose a little.

"Stable? How much can he earn in a month? Is it as much as your Aunt Zhang's son? He passed the civil service exam, a secure job, and now he's so proud to talk about it!"

"And your cousin, she got into Suzhou University for graduate studies, she'll have a bright future ahead of her."

"And what about you? You're about to graduate from Suzhou University with your bachelor's degree, and you insist on doing those unrealistic things. Where do you think I'm supposed to put my face? In the end, a Suzhou University undergraduate won't even have a better career prospect than a Suzhou University master's student. What am I supposed to do?"

Dai Zhenli closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She had heard these words countless times, and she tried her best to make her tone sound calm:

"Mom, I have my own goals..."

The other person had clearly had enough. "Alright, there's something I need to tell you."

"Your brother needs to pay compensation."
