Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

After accompanying Qin Songnian on a tour of the fishing grounds and letting the judges and referees familiarize themselves with the venue for tomorrow's competition, Jiang Xia took them back to the office to rest.

Since the hotel was in the county town, he planned to have Qin Songnian and the others have lunch before personally taking them to the hotel to stay.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble for them to travel all the way from the provincial capital to our small mountain village. Arranging a hotel and meals for them would be another hassle and would not be in line with hospitality.

……

The competition officially starts tomorrow, and many competitors came to the fishing spot today to familiarize themselves with the area.

Meanwhile, the arrangements for the competition were being finalized in an orderly manner under the guidance of Jiang Jianguo and his son Jiang Xia.

The judges' panel was covered with a red carpet, and the prizes and cash for the top three winners were covered with transparent glass. The Megalodon competition promotional posters were also on display.

At this moment, Qingshan Fishing Park has become the most dazzling star in the fishing circle of Shandong Province during this period.

……

It was evening.

After sending Qin Songnian and his group back to the hotel, Jiang Xia lay alone on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He felt a surge of excitement just thinking about tomorrow's match.

Having been reborn for so long, this competition is definitely the biggest thing he's ever done.

From the reservoir outside, the splashing sound of large fish could be heard again.

Jiang Xia simply drew back the curtains and sat on the bed looking at the moonlight outside.

One moment I'm thinking about how I shouldn't get stage fright when I speak on stage tomorrow because of the large audience, and the next I'm hoping that nothing unexpected will happen.

He might even recall his past life and inexplicably wonder if he's having a very long dream.

But looking at the incredibly realistic scene before him, and remembering Su Qingjiang, Xiao Bo, and the others, he knew clearly that he wasn't dreaming, but had truly returned to the summer of 2008.

In short, throughout the night, various images kept flashing through Jiang Xia's mind.

By the time he came to his senses again, the roosters outside had already started crowing.

He tapped the screen of his keypad phone and found it was already past 3 a.m.

He thought to himself, "Oh no," and then pulled the covers over his head, trying to force himself to sleep.

……

When Jiang Xia opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the noise outside!

He picked up his phone and checked the time, only to find it was just past seven. He was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep when he suddenly remembered that today was the day of the competition!

In an instant, he shuddered and immediately became alert.

Forget about sleeping, I need to get up right now!

……

Before long, the people at the fishing spot saw Jiang Xia with dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Su Qing asked.

Jiang Xia nodded, "He was probably too stressed out by what happened today; he didn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m.!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing looked at Jiang Xia's listless yet somewhat excited expression and said with some concern:

"It's still early, why don't you go back inside and sleep for a while? Xiao Bo will come and wake you up later."

Jiang Xia shook his head: "No, I have something on my mind, and I really can't sleep."

"What are you all busy with right now? I'll help you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing pointed to the kitchen: "We finished all the work last night. Now we just need to receive the contestants and tourists. I cooked some shredded pork noodles in the kitchen. Go wash your face and have some."

Jiang Xia nodded, told Su Qing to call him anytime if she needed anything, and then headed towards the kitchen.

……

After quickly eating a bowl of noodles, Jiang Xia came out of the kitchen and found that his fishing spot was already packed with people.

"Old Jiang, where have you been? Why are you only showing up now?"

Not far away, Li Qiang, dressed in a suit, was waving in their direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia walked over and asked, "Just having lunch? Why are you here so early?"

"Old Jiang, don't say that! I thought I arrived pretty early too! But even so, there wasn't enough parking space when I got here, so I had to park in the open space behind the reservoir and walk over!" Li Qiang sighed upon hearing this.

Today is the start of the competition, so it's normal for cars to be unable to stop, and Jiang Xia wasn't surprised by this.

In this remote, desolate fishing area, as long as you don't park in the designated fishing area, you can park your car anywhere without any problems.

After exchanging a few words with Li Qiang, Jiang Xia, seeing so many people, quickly jogged to the office.

……

On the other side, Chen Weihao, the owner of Jianghu Angler Fishing Tackle Shop, also drove his Land Cruiser Prado to the fishing park in Jiangxia with a few friends.

Although he did not sponsor Jiangxia's competition, as the head of the fishing tackle shop in Linjiang City, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and wanted to come and see for himself.

After all, this competition can be considered the biggest event in the history of fishing in Linjiang.

Because they arrived late, Chen Weihao had to park his car on the roadside a few kilometers away from the fishing spot and walk over with his friends.

"Oh dear, I'm exhausted!"

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of Qingshan Fishing Park, Chen Weihao, bent over and panting, said...

Beside him, a young girl wearing black skinny jeans quickly and considerately patted him on the back:

"Brother Chen, are you alright? We're here now, why don't we sit down and rest for a bit?"

Chen Weihua, panting heavily, waved his hand and said no need.

Then, as soon as he looked up, he saw a huge shark!

"Holy crap!"

Chen Weihao was so frightened that he shuddered.

He actually saw the Great White Shark GG sign from a long distance.

But at that time, we were far away and didn't look closely, so we didn't think much of it.

To my surprise, upon closer inspection, the competition poster was surprisingly imposing.

"This Qingshan Fishing Park is quite a spectacle!"

Beside him, a friend wearing glasses also exclaimed upon seeing the Megalodon poster.

"Yeah, that great white shark is really scary!" the girl in black jeans chimed in.

In fact, it wasn't just Chen Weihao and his group; many contestants and tourists who came here today were somewhat shocked when they got closer and saw this huge poster that Jiangxia had spent a lot of money to design.

After all, every human being is born with an instinctive fear of huge objects.

But if you look closely at the Megalodon poster in Jiangxia, you'll see a small boat adrift in the ocean, and a fisherman on the boat.

People are excited and thrilled by the fact that such a small human body contains enormous power.

Especially since almost everyone here today is a fishing enthusiast or someone in the industry, when they see the silhouette on the poster, along with the words "The First Qingshan Fishing Park Fishing Masters Tournament" in the middle, they all subconsciously feel that this is the real fishing master!

However, Chen Weihao felt inexplicably uncomfortable after seeing the words "Sponsored by Yule World Fishing Tackle Shop".
