Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King

Chapter 814 - 553: Ning Breaks but Does Not Bend, Huang Is Stubborn

After finishing the morning competition, Zhang Yang led his people away early from the Daily Fish Fishing Base.

When the group found a restaurant around the hotel and sat down, the prize money from Zhang Yang’s WeChat was also sent over.

Twenty thousand yuan, not a penny more or less. Regardless of Huang Zheng’s temper, in terms of credibility, Huang Zheng still keeps his word.

After receiving the prize money, Zhang Yang unhesitatingly sent five thousand each to Meng Fan and Han Mocheng.

"Xiao Fan, Brother Han, the money Huang Zheng won from you guys has been sent over, just accept it!" Zhang Yang said calmly.

"Ah? No need! What we lost is what we lost, what you won is what you won! Let’s keep things separate!" Meng Fan shook his head immediately.

Han Mocheng, sitting nearby, reacted in the same way: "Xiao Fan is right! You won, but if you had lost, you wouldn’t have asked us to pay! We can’t take this money!"

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you two sure you don’t want it? I’ve sent it over, just take it, why all the fuss?

Why should I give back the money I won to you?

Because we are a team, I am your brother! If you suffered a loss, I will help you win it back!

You think I don’t like money? Asking for the last time, will you accept it?"

Speaking to this extent, Meng Fan and Han Mocheng felt that Zhang Yang was serious, and if they didn’t accept it, it would indirectly deny Zhang Yang’s characterization of the matter.

"Alright then, let’s follow Brother Yang’s lead and accept the money! But we must learn from our emotional downfall and competing with others, I’ll take out a thousand as our team’s activity fund, as a lesson learned!

This money goes to Captain Han, to be used for our future team-building activities!" Meng Fan said as he accepted the five thousand yuan sent by Zhang Yang and then transferred a thousand to team leader Han Mocheng.

Han Mocheng rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Damn, you give a thousand, I’ll give two thousand! It’s definitely a lesson! No more words needed, our Xiao Fan’s lost pride has been regained by our leader! We have nothing this afternoon, let’s enjoy a few drinks at lunch and celebrate our leader’s upcoming championship, crushing Huang Zheng!"

"Beat Huang Zheng!!"

"Win the championship!"

The group, now in high spirits, shouted it out loud. Luckily, they were in a private room, otherwise, in the main dining area, they would have certainly drawn gazes from other diners.

Winning back the lost money, everyone was quite delighted, so the standard of the lunch was quite high, except for Zhang Yang, the others had a bit to drink, creating a lively and highly enthusiastic atmosphere.

After eating and drinking enough, it was already past twelve. After settling the bill, the group walked back to the hotel.

In high spirits from the drinks, the group had no interest in napping. Han Mocheng instructed Liu Zi to go to a convenience store and buy a few decks of cards, and the brothers started playing Dou Dizhu.

As for Zhang Yang, since he had an afternoon match, he excused himself, returned to his room alone, set an alarm clock, and took a nap to recharge.

A forty-minute nap completely dissipated the morning’s fatigue for Zhang Yang. After greeting everyone, he led the group to the car and headed back to the competition venue.

When the car arrived at the competition venue’s parking lot, it was only just past 1:20. The group found a shaded spot to stay, with Zhang Yang fully prepared, waiting to enter with the other staff.

Around 1:30, Sun Yi and Yu Wensheng also arrived early at the competition site.

From a distance, Sun Yi spotted Zhang Yang, who was wearing a Hua’s fishing hat and fiddling with his phone.

According to the original plan, Sun Yi should have joined Lao Yu in entering the live broadcast room early, briefly communicating the details before starting the broadcast, but Sun Yi didn’t do that.

Instead, as if guided by an unseen force, she stepped in her high heels, took a slight detour, and walked straight towards Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang!!" Sun Yi called out from about five or six meters away, greeting him in advance.

Hearing someone calling him, Zhang Yang looked up and happened to meet Sun Yi’s gaze, which was as clear as autumn water.

"Hello, Sun..." Zhang Yang, for a moment, couldn’t recall her name and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Sun Yi! You’re something else, nearly cost me my job last time, and now you can’t even remember my name?" Sun Yi pouted, her tone carrying a hint of playful frustration.

"I’m sorry, I really am! Seeing a beautiful lady makes me nervous!! What happened last time was indeed my responsibility, got carried away with my words and put you in an awkward spot! I formally apologize to you, I’m sorry!" Zhang Yang scratched his head, hastily explained, and nodded in apology.

With a chuckle.

In an instant, the previously pouting Sun Yi couldn’t hold back and smiled with her lips pursed.

"Just kidding! Last time wasn’t entirely your fault, I accept your apology!

So, how about the match this afternoon? Do you have confidence? Your opponent is Huang Zheng, who, although lost to you in the first match, performed extremely well in the subsequent two rounds!"

Unconsciously, Sun Yi’s conversation began to show concern for Zhang Yang’s match, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Mentioning the competition sparked Zhang Yang’s confidence again, and he grinned without any hint of modesty, "If I can beat him once, I can beat him twice! If there’s nothing else scheduled for tonight, you’re welcome to join our celebration banquet.

Oh, and I’d also need a favor from you. If Teacher Yu Wensheng is available, please help me invite him too! According to my teammates, you guys in charge of the live broadcast gave me plenty of screen time, join us for a chat!"
