A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

Three days later...

The name of the genius Gu Tianyu resounded throughout the wealthy circles of Beijing.

Everyone knows that Gu Tianyu from the Gu family was a chubby guy weighing over 300 pounds, but overnight he transformed into a handsome young man.

Once the marriage was confirmed, countless families came to the Gu family seeking a marriage alliance.

Some came carrying photos of their granddaughters, some brought their daughters to visit, and others went through seven or eight roundabout ways to ask for favors.

However, Gu Tianyu was not interested in any of this. When he was fat, he avoided him like the plague, and when he was handsome, he couldn't get rid of him no matter what. After seeing it so often, he became disappointed.

Heaven and earth,

Inside a top-tier private room, four people were seated. A ring of amber-colored liquor was placed on the coffee table, and ice cubes jingled in their glasses.

Gu Tianyu leaned back in the middle of the sofa, his long eyebrows reaching his temples, his eyes deep-set, and the corners of his mouth still carrying a hint of the smile he had when he was chubby.

His simple, honest smile, paired with his strikingly handsome face, actually gave him a friendly and approachable air.

Sitting next to him was Ye Tianfan, the most prominent figure of the Ye family in this generation, wearing a smoky gray turtleneck shirt and an expensive watch on his wrist.

Shirai Ito sat on the single sofa opposite, his legs crossed, looking incredibly nonchalant.

To my left was Liu Zhe, sitting there with a cold face, his fingers twirling the stem of his glass, barely saying a word all night.

The Ye and Gu families have been on good terms for generations, so Gu Tianyu and Ye Tianfan have an unbreakable bond.

Even when Gu Tianyu weighed over 300 pounds, Ye Tianfan never complained and would visit him every few days.

We were brothers when we were fat, and we're still brothers now that we're thin.

Liu Zhe was just a little short.

Liu Zhe is Gu Tianyu's cousin and Liu Ruyan's nephew. They are of the same generation, but they don't interact much.

Liu Zhe has a naturally icy face, speaks little, and has a sharp tongue. When you run into him at family gatherings during holidays, he just nods.

However, given that they are blood relatives, they are not exactly familiar with each other, but they are not distant either. They are the kind of relationship where "you know he is my cousin, but you can't say more than twenty words to him in a year".

As for Shirai Itō, that's a different story.

If you were to call anyone a friend, he'd be a step below them all.

As for feuds, no one has ever turned against him.

It's simply that you can play all of them together, and you're good at everything.

The main problem is that Shiraito is too impulsive and unserious, and he does things entirely based on his mood.

For example, you might say that if he's fishing, he might be thinking about your wife; or you might say that if he's drinking, he might be interested in your wife.

It's annoying, but also kind of cute and silly.

The younger generation of the Ye, Gu, and Liu families tends to be cautious and steady in their actions.

When they arrived at the Bai family's house, a stray cat quickly sneaked in.

Shirai Ito didn't care at all about what other people thought of him.

He sat with his legs up, swirling the cup, completely absorbed in his own enjoyment.

"Tianyu,"

Shirai Ito spoke first, raising her glass towards Gu Tianyu, "Congratulations! You can finally catch your breath. When are we going to have a match?"

Ye Tianfan rolled his eyes on the spot: "No, I mean, Shirai Ito, Tianyu has only been back to normal for a few days, and you're already thinking about sparring?"

Shirai Ito pursed his lips and tapped the bottom of his cup: "I was just asking casually, why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Tianyu waved his hand dismissively, his expression at that moment exactly the same as when he was overweight.

With a broad-minded and easygoing demeanor, he smiled and said, "I'll pass. But you, shouldn't you be getting ready to leave?"

Shirai Ito's nonchalant attitude softened slightly: "Tomorrow."

His gaze swept over the three people present, and he said disdainfully, "You three, hurry up! You're hopeless!"

Liu Zhe paused, his fingers gripping the stem of the glass, and looked up at Bai Yiteng. The aloof male god's sharp tongue never disappointed: "Be careful, don't die there. I don't want to be drinking with you at your grave."

Shiraito's lips twitched, but he pretended not to hear and raised his cup even higher.

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

Gu Tianyu smiled and raised his cup to clink glasses with Ye Tianfan, who followed suit. Liu Zhe hesitated for a second before stepping forward.

The four glasses clinked together above the coffee table with a crisp sound, and the ice cubes swayed and bumped against the sides of the glasses.

"Cheers..."

……

In the afternoon, by the reservoir.

Yang Qizheng was sitting on the shore, fishing idly.

The float bobbed gently on the water's surface, not sinking for a long time, but there was no rush.

However, the shortcomings of the 100-acre reservoir reached their peak during the National Day holiday, with many anglers who came specifically for it making a wasted trip due to the limited number of spots (800).

Expanding the reservoir is urgent.

"Hey, the reservoir is getting an upgrade, when will that be?"

The system notification sounded as soon as I finished thinking about it:

"The reservoir upgrade will take place at midnight tonight and will last for one hour. Please ensure that no one is staying there."

Yang Qi sat bolt upright with a start, about to ask how the upgrade process worked, when the system added, "A reasonable upgrade method... an earthquake!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi blurted out "Fuck!"

Looking up, I circled the reservoir and saw 800 anglers, each doing their own thing.

Yang Qi was shocked. The good news was that the reservoir was going to be upgraded, but the bad news was that the upgrade would be carried out by an earthquake.

Tsk tsk tsk, just upgrading and natural disasters have struck, as expected of a system.

"System, what magnitude earthquake? Could it be...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Don't worry, host, it's just a localized earthquake and won't spread to the village. The tremors will only be felt around the reservoir. Please trust this system."

"🙂🙂🙂......" Yang Qi immediately gave a deathly smile, saying helplessly, "...Don't make a big deal out of this, thank you!"

"Then it depends on the host; how effective is the evacuation of the crowd?"

Yang Qi: "...The reservoir has been upgraded, so why are they doing this with the monitoring system and fencing?"

"Upgraded together, the number of monitoring systems increased from 360 to 3600."

"Okay, I understand." Yang Qi had nothing to say. The area had become thousands of acres, and the trouble was immense.

This is inevitable; every mountain peak has an owner. Eventually, conflicts of interest, land disputes, management issues, and other problems will become very serious.

It seems we'll have to ask President Gu and Young Master Bai for help with the land acquisition.

"It starts at midnight, right?" Yang Qi confirmed.

"That's right, a major earthquake will erupt at midnight. Are you prepared for the aftermath, the news, and the public opinion?"

Yang Qi packed up his fishing rod and stood up. "Nothing is ever fully prepared. If you cause an earthquake, I have to bite the bullet and accept it, right?"

"800 people," Yang Qi murmured, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Fine, tonight's show is even harder to perform than luring fish into the water."

Hopefully, the public outcry won't be too great.

Yang Qi hoped so, but what he didn't know was that this earthquake would become an unsolved mystery, or perhaps a miracle.

As for what miracle it was, please stay tuned...

Having lost all interest in fishing, Yang Qi found Li Si, one of the top ten bodyguards, on the shore.

He was wearing a black T-shirt over a fluorescent green vest and was carrying a black plastic bag, picking up trash.

"Xiao Si!" Yang Qi called out.

Upon hearing this, Li Si quickly looked up, saw it was Yang Qi, and ran over: "Boss!"
