The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!
Chapter 74 Are you free to audition tomorrow?
Longhu Manor covers an area of 25 hectares, which is nearly 375 acres. It also has a natural lake of more than ten acres in the middle. The shoreline is winding and twisting, like a dragon's body moving, hence the name Longhu (Dragon Lake), and the manor is named after it.
Longhu Lake is vast and boundless, with clear and deep waters, averaging seven meters deep, and is home to countless ornamental fish species.
A huge, luxurious parasol stands by the lake, with three high-end outdoor lounge chairs placed under it.
Three empty fishing rods with no bait were quietly stuck in the support on the shore, the hooks underwater completely unbaited.
Chen Jun sat upright in the chair, his hands gripping the fishing rod tightly, his posture ramrod straight.
Looking to his left and right, Qin Jianjun and Qin Zheng were leisurely lying on the deck chairs, engrossed in scrolling through their phones, not glancing at their fishing rods at all.
He was completely stunned.
It's hard to tell whether they're there to play on their phones or genuinely to play on their phones.
"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Qin Jianjun glanced at Chen Jun, didn't even look up, and spoke casually.
"There's a pure gold koi fish hidden in this Dragon Lake. I caught it the day before yesterday with a bare hook. If you can catch it with this baitless fishing rod, then when you come to the Qin family in the future, I..."
He paused halfway through his sentence, thinking to himself that he couldn't leave things unsaid, in case the koi fish didn't learn its lesson and took the bait again.
So he immediately changed his tune, his tone haughty: "From now on, I won't restrict your access. You can come and go as you please at the Qin family's gate!"
Chen Jun was stunned upon hearing this.
His gaze swept across the lake, where countless colorful ornamental fish swam about in groups, so numerous they seemed to overflow. Yet, he couldn't spot the golden koi that Qin Jianjun had mentioned.
Furthermore, with no bait allowed throughout the entire process and fishing with an empty hook, how could one possibly catch that one-in-a-million golden koi?
He was certain that Qin Jianjun was deliberately making things difficult for him, and he even had evidence.
"Uncle, this is too difficult." Chen Jun said helplessly.
He remained humble and tried to negotiate, "How about we get a red koi fish instead?"
He had no choice but to either negotiate with his father-in-law or bite the bullet and face the test head-on.
"I want the gold one," Qin Jianjun said with a snort, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
At the same time, he thought to himself: Kid, you think you're done after getting through this? There are many more tests waiting for you.
Qin Zheng, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word.
Seeing that he couldn't negotiate the price, Chen Jun sighed and could only pray to God to bless him and let him catch the golden koi he had never even seen before, given his sincerity.
Just after he made his wish, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank.
Oh? Could it be that... he's filled with anticipation?
The fishing line taut instantly, pulled violently towards the center of the lake by a tremendous underwater force!
Chen Jun's heart skipped a beat. He pushed off the ground with both feet, leaned back, gripped the fishing rod firmly with both hands, and slowly reeled in the line with a flick of his wrist. A dark golden figure slowly rose to the surface of the water, standing out conspicuously in the shimmering light.
Seeing this, he held his breath, his face filled with excitement, and then suddenly swung the fish with great force. A koi carp with pure gold body and translucent scales leaped out of the water. The afternoon sun shone on the fish scales, reflecting a dazzling golden light that was incredibly bright.
Qin Jianjun, who was lying down playing on his phone, suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.
Did they really catch it?
What's wrong with this silly fish?! It's biting even when there's no bait!
After the initial surprise, Qin Jianjun's face turned completely black with anger.
Qin Zheng revealed a meaningful expression.
Chen Jun's luck is simply too incredible; he managed to catch the only golden koi in Longhu Lake with an empty bait. Could he be the reincarnation of a chosen one?
Overjoyed, Chen Jun reeled the fish in to the shore, carefully scooped it ashore, and then strode up to Qin Jianjun, beaming with barely suppressed pride, "Uncle, look! I caught it! Is it the one you were talking about?"
Qin Jianjun stared at the golden koi, his face gloomy, feeling frustrated and unable to vent his anger. He casually tossed the fish into the fish basket next to him.
He cursed inwardly: "I spared your life the day before yesterday, and you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you also haven't learned your lesson. You just finished speaking and that kid hooked you up. Are you deliberately trying to make trouble for me?"
Suppressing his anger, Qin Jianjun gritted his teeth and ordered Lu Zheng, who was standing beside him, "Tell the kitchen to prepare this fish, make 180 cuts, and serve it on my table tonight!"
"Yes, young master." Lu Zheng bowed and replied in a deep voice.
Looking at his eldest son's exasperated expression, Qin Zheng shook his head helplessly and offered a word of advice: "Kid, I heard you're pretty good at basketball at school?"
Chen Jun was still basking in the joy of passing the test, and nodded quickly upon hearing this.
He is indeed a good basketball player, and he plays the forward position on the school team.
"Boss, he's pretty good at basketball. Just have Lu Zheng find a few bodyguards who can play basketball to keep him company."
Qin Zheng looked at Qin Jianjun and smiled, "Not just basketball, but swimming, equestrian, tennis, obstacle courses, all kinds of events are arranged. There's bound to be one where you can win at least once."
Let it all out.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun's smile froze.
Qin Jianjun suddenly realized, his gloomy mood vanished, and a wicked, triumphant smile flashed across his face.
"Lu Zheng, go find someone for me to have a match with him. The winner gets a 10,000 yuan reward!"
Chen Jun raised his hand and asked with a sheepish grin, "Uncle, if I win, can I get ten thousand yuan?"
Chen Wenbin was very strict with his allowance. As the son of the provincial governor, he couldn't even scrape together 10,000 yuan and lived a very frugal life.
Qin Jianjun's face instantly darkened, his brows furrowing: "What? You want the prize money after winning? You're hoping for double the joy, aren't you?"
You little brat, you wish! Wait till the physical training wears you down, and I'll exhaust you to death!
Chen Jun smiled sheepishly; it seemed he couldn't earn any extra money this way.
As Qin Zheng watched the two leave, he instructed the assistant steward beside him, "Send someone to follow them and record how many times that kid won."

On the first floor, in a small meeting room.
Qin Mao sat at the head of the conference table, holding the industry planning report submitted by the company's employees. He looked serious as he carefully read through it from beginning to end.
The report is clear and concise: the best development plan for the Nangang plot is to acquire several adjacent, scattered plots of land, integrate them into a whole, and leverage the unique advantages of the port and waterway transportation to create a large-scale industrial park that integrates production, warehousing, and logistics.
Qin Mao nodded slightly after reading it. "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he got up and set off for Nangang City.
On the second floor of the main house, there is a luxurious master bedroom that is a full 200 square meters.
The room features an oversized royal luxury bed with a top-quality imported cashmere mattress and smooth silk curtains draped around it, exuding softness and elegance, showcasing the ultimate luxury.
Qin Nian'an lay lazily on the big bed taking a nap. Because she was heartbroken about the contract termination in the morning, she slept very deeply and showed no signs of waking up until four o'clock in the afternoon.
A sudden phone call woke her up.
Still half-asleep, she groggily reached for her phone and answered, her voice trembling with sleep: "Hello, this is Qin Nian'an."
"Hello Ms. Qin, this is Director Zhou Bin's studio. Director Zhou Bin has watched your previous audition video in its entirety and is very impressed with your talent and acting skills. He would like to extend a special invitation to you to come to Shanghai to audition for the female lead in our newly prepared big-budget film. Are you free to come to Shanghai tomorrow?"
