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

Zhao Hua looked at Yang Qi, the camera pointed at him, his expression unnatural: "A lawsuit? You?"

"What, you want to try?" Yang Qi said, looking into his eyes.

Zhao Hua felt a little intimidated by Yang Qi's gaze. He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't directly respond to the question.

Yang Qi could tell that this person was a bully who preyed on the weak, so he ignored him and turned to look at those who were genuinely there to fish. His voice softened and became apologetic:

"Fellow anglers, perhaps my wife didn't explain clearly in the video. I'd like to formally inform you here that the reservoir is still under construction and renovation and will not be open for business for another month. I'm truly sorry."

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, then someone spoke up again: "The fish in the video..."

"Everyone is welcome to come and verify it for themselves in a month. Seeing is believing."

Yang Qi glanced at Zhao Hua. "As for now, if everyone keeps blocking this place, construction can't move forward, and the start date will only be postponed again and again. I think everyone here is a capable adult with their own judgment. They won't be foolish enough to be manipulated by dogs and believe whatever others say."

He paused, then glanced around: "Since we're all adults, let's calm down and think this through. Don't let some dog who makes a living off online traffic lead us by the nose."

"As for the fish, you're welcome to come anytime after a month, but remember to pay the fishing fee."

Yang Qi seized the opportunity to say, "500 for a day, 300 for half a day. Fishing spots are limited, first come, first served."

Upon hearing himself called a dog, Zhao Hua immediately jumped up: "Who are you calling a dog?"

Yang Qi looked innocent and tilted his head at him: "Whoever admits it is whoever does it. I can't stop anyone from trying to fit in."

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, '!" Chen Zilu stepped out from behind Yang Qi, stood next to him, and pointed at Zhao Hua:

"You bastard, if you're genuinely interested in verifying the authenticity, we welcome you anytime. But if you're spreading rumors and inciting trouble, don't blame us for being impolite. Want to test it out?"

"I'm in charge."

The phrase "I'm all in this together" caused a stir in the live stream.

"Holy crap, this is a doubles attack by the couple! Brother Hua is getting yelled at and can't fight back!"

"That girl is so cool! That 'bastard' insult was so satisfying!"

"Such a domineering protectiveness of her husband, I'm shipping this couple."

"..."

Zhao Hua looked down at the comments scrolling by, one after another, "Brother Hua chickened out" and "The exposé backfired," and his face darkened.

He gritted his teeth and took his phone off the stand: "Family, the live stream is over."

Studio:

No, I haven't seen enough yet.

"Add one."

……

Zhao Hua closed the live stream and looked at Yang Qi: "Fine, I'll come back in a month. Let's see how you handle this then!"

"Welcome," Yang Qi said. "You're on my fishing spot's blacklist. You'll have to pay double to enter."

"you……"

Zhao Hua flung his hand away, stuffed his phone into his pocket, and slunk off.

A few fishermen in the crowd, unwilling to give up, joined in:

"Boss, are you really not open today? We've come all this way, just let us take a look..."

I'm so sorry.

Yang Qi said sincerely, "It's under construction now, there's cement and equipment everywhere, it's noisy, and the roads aren't paved yet. Wouldn't you be uncomfortable fishing in this environment?"

Trust me, in a month, this place will provide you with a satisfying experience.

The fishermen looked at each other and eventually dispersed.

One leads two, two leads three, and the three all disperse.

The remaining reporters carrying cameras and the village chief stayed where they were.

The short-haired female reporter took two steps forward: "Hello, I'm a reporter from this platform, Mr. Zhongyi. May I ask you a few questions, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Qi glanced at Chen Zilu, who nodded: "Ask away."

Zhong Yi handed the microphone to Chen Zilu: "Madam, are you Mr. Yang's wife?"

"Um... to be precise, it's the object of affection."

"Did you film and edit that video online? Is the footage real, or is it special effects?"

"I filmed and edited the video," Chen Zilu said, looking at the camera.

"I saw the big fish with my own eyes and took the picture myself; there were no special effects or composites involved."

"What are your plans for opening this fishing spot in the countryside? Do you have any specific plans?"

Yang Qi took over the conversation: "I'll answer that question."

Zhong Yi handed the microphone to him: "Mr. Yang, you go ahead."

Yang Qiqing cleared his throat and said, "The reason I came back home to open a fishing pond is actually very simple. After graduating, I worked a job with a monthly salary of three thousand yuan, and I was scolded every day, so I wanted to start a business at home. I didn't expect it to be as successful as it is now, so it's a pleasant surprise. As for the plan, I only have one idea—to make the fishing pond a success, and then expand it to the village, helping everyone make money together, such as running agritainment businesses, homestays, and so on."

Zhong Yi nodded and asked, "From what I've heard, Mr. Yang, you're a college graduate who returned to your hometown to start a business. How have you managed to achieve your current scale? What insights can you share with everyone?"

Yang Qi thought for a moment and said seriously:

"As someone who's been there, I've already got one foot in the door... I suggest you all don't even bother coming... There's no such thing as a problem without a problem, remember that..."

After listening, Zhong Yi almost let go of the microphone, her expression speechless.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Qi immediately changed the subject, waving his hand impatiently and saying, "I won't say more, I'm very busy. Please leave first, so as not to delay the construction progress."

……

An hour later, the crowd finally dispersed.

The construction team resumed work, and the roar of machinery once again filled the construction site.

Yang Changsheng walked over from the side and looked Yang Qi and Chen Zilu up and down for a while.

Then, he clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Xiao Qi, you're something else. You went out for a trip and came back with such a beautiful girlfriend."

Oh no, you're two months older than me, you should call me sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law!

As he spoke, he gave Chen Zilu another greeting.

Stop joking around.

Yang Qi waved his hand, "I haven't eaten yet. Take Zilu to get something to eat. I'm leaving."

He pulled Chen Zilu and turned to walk home.

Chen Zilu followed half a step behind him, watching his back.

Looking back, the way he spoke confidently in front of the camera, stood firm against criticism, and remained calm under pressure was truly impressive.

Suddenly, she realized that she had a very good eye for talent and that she was very lucky to have such a partner as a support.

"Yang Qi, you were so domineering just now," Chen Zilu said with a smile.

"Really?" Yang Qi touched his nose, his ears turning red from the compliment.

Looking at his shy and embarrassed expression, Chen Zilu couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"No, he's just a big idiot, a big idiot who has nothing to do with being domineering."

Yang Qi chuckled: "Zi Lu was quite domineering just now."

"That's more like it."

Chen Zilu took his arm and walked side by side, her chin slightly raised.
