Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mr. Liao saw his granddaughter as a usually intelligent young girl.

Moreover, Liao Xuexue’s academic results at university were among the best. How could Liao Xuexue be so easily fooled by that brat Ye Chen?

As expected, one lost their rationality when in love.

Mr. Liao thought that his granddaughter was probably smitten by Ye Chen.

But, in any case, Mr. Liao was still the one who had lied to his granddaughter.

At this juncture, Mr. Liao realized that he had dug a grave for himself.

However, things had already come to this point. What else could he do?

It was not that Mr. Liao was reluctant to give the money to his granddaughter.

The problem was that he only had 2,000 in his bank account.

Mr. Liao had secretly saved up the 2,000. Where could he get the remaining 12,000 for Liao Xuexue?

However, if Mr. Liao didn’t give the money to Liao Xuexue, his lie would be exposed.

At the thought of that, Mr. Liao could not help but glare at Ye Chen in the distance in anger, thinking, “That little rascal. I’m the one who paid the money, but he made himself look kind in front of Xuexue.”

However, Mr. Liao had no choice. Since he had already lied to her, if he told his granddaughter the truth now, how would he be able to keep his dignity?

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Liao took out his phone and transferred his granddaughter 2,000 for now.

Liao Xuexue, who had only received 2,000, frowned and looked at her grandfather with a suspicious expression.

Mr. Liao had no choice but to scratch his head with an awkward smile.

“Uh… Xuexue, Mr. Ye did give me 14,000, but the 12,000… An old classmate of mine borrowed the 12,000. I’ll get it back from him now!”

Liao Xuexue was even more confused and surprised.

Fortunately, Mr. Liao managed to borrow 12,000 from his old classmate and transferred it to his granddaughter.

After receiving the money, Liao Xuexue was overjoyed and said while jumping up and down, “Grandpa, I’ll keep this money for now. This is also the first bucket of gold I’ve earned from working. I’ll buy you something to eat when I get back!”

Liao Xuexue had no idea that the money was from her grandfather’s own pocket.

Therefore, after receiving the money, she left happily, leaving Mr. Liao sighing with a bitter face.

“F*ck!” Mr. Liao muttered.

He had lost his granddaughter to Ye Chen, and now he was losing money!

Ye Chen was really inhumane!

…

Soon, Ye Chen saw Liao Xuexue return.

Hence, he quickly asked, “That… Did your grandfather give you the money?”

Liao Xuexue nodded. “Yes, I’ve already received it. Thank you, Mr. Ye!”

Ye Chen almost burst out laughing. He held back his laughter and said, “All right, then you should work hard. After seven days, if you still want to come work for me, feel free to do so. If you do well, I’ll even raise your salary!”

Mr. Liao, who was about to cast his rod, almost choked on his saliva when he heard that.

As time passed by, the fishing pros in the area were deeply concentrated on fishing.

As the fishing pros from earlier had said, the catch rate at Seyves Reservoir was really good today.

Every fishing pro had a lot of gains in their keepnets.

Even Mr. Liao, who was standing at the side, had forgotten about his previous suffering.

As he kept catching fish, he shouted, “F*ck!”

After an hour, Mr. Liao had caught three silver carps that weighed 4.2 to 4.8 kilograms.

As for crucian carps, there were countless of them.

Feeling bored, Mr. Liao picked up his keepnet and looked at the countless fish swimming inside.

Meanwhile, after catching a water snake, Mr. Ye saw no movement from his fishing float.

Liao Xuexue, who was sitting at the side, was also surprised.

She had already thrown out more than half of bag of 300 kilograms of bait, so why couldn’t Mr. Ye catch a single fish?

Didn’t the others say that Mr. Ye was a fishing pro?

And he was a professional fishing athlete, too.

Although her temperament and appearance looked particularly natural and dull, it did not mean that Liao Xuexue was not smart.

Liao Xuexue’s IQ and EQ were extremely high.

Therefore, Liao Xuexue didn’t ask Mr. Ye why he hadn’t caught any fish.

After all, everyone could see that Mr. Ye was not only anxious, but also depressed.

The audience in the live stream room was also divided into two groups.

One group was the new audience in the live stream room.

The audience had the same thoughts as Liao Xuexue.

Everyone was bewildered, puzzled, and at a loss.

“What’s this streamer doing? Why isn’t he reeling his line in at all? ”

“How does he reel the line in if he doesn’t catch any fish?”

“It’s been an hour. I saw that the old men around have caught more than ten fish. What’s the situation with this streamer?”

“Yeah, it’s ridiculous. What’s this fishing streamer doing if not fishing?”

“Is this streamer doing charity by feeding the fish?”

“This streamer’s fishing skills should be pretty good, based on how he cast a spell on the shore and taught us the terminology of fishing…”

“That’s right, that’s right. Besides, the streamer is very professional in making bait. He mixed so much bait together, so how could there be no fish?”

…

The other group was naturally the old fans who knew Ye Chen well.

Of course, the audience who had watched Ye Chen’s live stream the previous night were now considered old fans.

This group of people was not as confused as the new viewers in the live stream room.

For a moment, the comments section was full of ridicule for Ye Chen and explanations for the new audience.

“Who told you that the streamer knows how to fish? Do you know what Mr. Ye’s nickname is? The Skunked King!”

“That’s right. There are so many fishing streamers, but we don’t like to watch them. We like to see Mr. Ye’s face when he can’t catch any fish!”

“New viewers, let me report to you about Mr. Ye’s results yesterday. Yesterday, Mr. Ye fished from seven in the morning to one in the morning by the riverbank of Jiang City. He spent a total of more than ten hours and only caught a stinky shoe, an urn, a rotten fish, and a corpse. In short, we old fans are telling you that this streamer can catch anything except fish! Just like that snake just now!”

“We’ve been waiting for the streamer to catch a fish for a month and a half. How long have you guys been waiting? Don’t rush!”

“Hahaha, are you shocked? I’m telling you, being skunked is Mr. Ye’s normal state. When Mr. Ye catches a fish, I’ll unsubscribe to this channel!”

…

Liao Xuexue was at a loss as the viewers continued to tease Ye Chen.

Suddenly, Ye Chen, who was initially distressed, suddenly smirked.

Then, he revealed a confident expression.

Ye Chen said to the camera, “I’m telling you, six minutes! I will definitely catch a fish within six minutes!”
