Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 544

544 A Toast
After all, if they used a groundbait, the pond would only be so big. Although there were many ponds, once they placed a groundbait and all the fish came to eat the bait, they would probably catch all the fish in the pond in an afternoon. Then, there would be no more fun in the future.

Ye Xuan also understood this, so he didn’t ask about the groundbait. He took his fishing rod, earthworms, and some maize to the pond and sat down. He threw out a rod and waited quietly.

Although his sisters didn’t know how to fish, they followed suit and looked like they were determined to take revenge. Ye Xuan was happy to see this.

Meanwhile, the CEOs went to another pond. After all, if there were too many people in one pond, it was indeed not easy to fish.

After a while, Ye Xuan felt that the float was moving and the line was being pulled down, but he didn’t immediately pull the fishing rod. After all, it wasn’t very stable yet. The fish was biting the earthworm, so he had to wait. After the fish completely took the bait, it would be a good time to pull the fishing rod.

This was also the most difficult time. If he pulled the rod too quickly, the fish would run away. If he pulled the rod too slowly, it might cause the bait to slip out of the fish’s mouth. Only when the time was right would it be the most stable.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was also rather excited. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the float as it floated up and down. After a while, Ye Xuan’s pupils constricted. He exerted strength in his hand and threw a ten-pound fish ashore. There was no need to allow the fish to struggle so that it would lose strength at all. After all, there was a saying that in front of absolute strength, any technique seemed useless.

This sentence happened to respond to this scene.

There was a certain amount of fun in allowing the fish to struggle, but Ye Xuan didn’t want to waste time.

After a fish went ashore, it was still jumping around on the shore. Ye Xuan picked up a wooden rod and rushed up to accurately hit the head of the fish. Anyway, he would bring it back to eat later. It was fine to knock it out now.

When the sisters saw that Ye Xuan had caught a fish, they panicked. They bit their fingers and stared at the float anxiously, waiting for the fish to take the bait. In the end, they didn’t see anything for a long time.

Fortunately, after a while, they caught a big fish, making the sisters overjoyed. They were all smiling.

Meanwhile, the CEOs had already caught a grass carp about the same size as the fish that the sisters caught. After all, they were all professional fishermen and knew some techniques.

After Ye Xuan threw the knocked-out fish into the cage, he didn’t waste any time and continued to hang two earthworms on the fishing hook. Then, he raised the rod and threw it to the center of the pond. This time, as soon as he threw it down, a fish immediately took the bait. It pulled the fishing line until it sank, making Ye Xuan’s eyes light up. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the fish ashore.

Then, he ran over and stepped on it. He knocked it out with a wooden stick and threw it into the cage. Then, he hung an earthworm on the rod again and sat excitedly on the shore, looking at the water that was filled with green algae.

…

Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was noon. Ye Xuan looked at the sun and knew that it was getting late, so he put away his rod.

Everyone knew how strong the sun was at noon in summer, so it was not a good time to fish. Moreover, in the past few hours, Ye Xuan’s cage was already filled with knocked-out fish. There were about eight of them, and they were all big fish that weighed between a few to five kilograms. He caught more fish than the CEOs and sisters, making everyone envious. They praised,

“Chairman Ye, you’ve gained a lot. I counted eight of them. It’s really a good and auspicious sign.”

“Sigh, Chairman Ye is good at digging bamboo shoots. He’s not weak at fishing either. It’s only been two to three hours and he’s already caught so many fish. I can’t take it anymore. I’ve only caught three after so long.”

“I really admire Chairman Ye. I only have one fish, but three of them broke free when I was letting them struggle. I’m really a little unlucky today.”

“That’s right. At least five fish ran away when I allowed them to struggle. I was so angry.”

“Hehe, alright, alright. It’s fine as long as it’s entertainment. We shouldn’t have gotten the fish that ran away, so don’t worry about it. It seems like Chairman Ye is treating us to the fish today.”

Zhang Feng smiled and teased. Ye Xuan also smiled and lifted the cage. He carried the fishing rod and spoke to the CEOs.

“Then let’s go, everyone. Today, I’ll treat everyone to bamboo shoots with roasted grass carp. In any case, there are so many fish. I’ll make one for everyone. I guarantee that we’ll eat to our heart’s content.”

With that, he took a step forward and walked straight towards the villa.

His sisters followed closely behind with joy on their faces. After all, there was nothing more joyful than being able to catch a fish. If there was anything more joyful, it was catching two fish.

Meanwhile, the CEOs following behind did not believe that Ye Xuan knew how to cook. They originally planned to call the chef over, but since Chairman Ye had said so, they were definitely too embarrassed to call the chef over. They could only stay quietly. No matter how bad it was, they had to eat more. This was the rule.

After entering the villa, Ye Xuan carried the fish and bamboo shoots straight into the kitchen. Then, he found a small knife and scraped the fish scales clean. After cutting open the stomach and removing the internal organs, he left the fish soaked in water. As such, the fish was edible and very nourishing.

Then, he removed the gills on both sides and sliced the fish into fish filets. He planned to make fish filets with bamboo shoots.

After that, he scraped the scales of the second fish, cut open its stomach, and took out the gills in one go. This time, he chopped it into pieces and prepared to roast the pieces with bamboo shoots.

Then, he cut the bamboo shoots. After a while, all the side dishes were prepared.

Then, Ye Xuan turned on the stove, closed the kitchen door, turned on the smoker, and started cooking.

Outside, the sisters and CEOs were sitting on the sofa to rest. From time to time, they would chat and ask the sisters about their professions. However, they were all very respectful. After all, they were the biological sisters of the Tianlong Corporation’s chairman. They did not dare to be negligent.

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the kitchen door suddenly opened. Immediately, an abnormal fragrance suddenly spewed out from the kitchen and swept through the entire villa.

The CEOs were shocked when they smelled it and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise. They didn’t expect Ye Xuan to really know how to cook. Furthermore, the dishes were so fragrant. This simply broke logic and tore apart the worldview of the CEOs.

After all, Ye Xuan looked like he was only seven or eight years old. He knew how to fish, look for bamboo shoots, and even knew how to cook. This— This— This… He was simply a god!
While sighing, the CEOs also went forward and placed all the dishes on the table.

As they walked, they smelled the dishes like a person who was addicted. They sniffed the fragrance and enjoyed it very much.

The wine and drinks were ready. After everyone sat down, the CEOs unscrewed the bottles and filled their glasses. Everyone knew that Ye Xuan couldn’t drink at his age, so they ignored him. After pouring the wine, they stood up and toasted Ye Xuan.

“Chairman Ye, here’s a toast. The few of us will toast you together. If not for the Dinglong Corporation holding down the fort in China, who knows how chaotic it would be? It’s also because of you that we all have a chance to catch our breath. Everyone has to toast you.”
