My capital is quite large.

Chapter 233 Pumping Water!

The 6th arrived as scheduled.

Li Feng always treated the earliest group of veterans who followed him with some preferential treatment.

Turning thirty is a significant turning point in the lives of female celebrities who rely on their youth for success.

So today, Li Feng, for the first time ever, brought Tang Yan to a top-tier golf and fishing club on the outskirts of Jinling that operates on a strict membership system.

Over the past six months, as he has approached his thirties, Li Feng has been surprised to find himself increasingly enjoying fishing in his spare time.

Perhaps this is also an inevitable path for those in positions of power to cultivate a more mature mindset.

However, it's hard to say who's celebrating whose birthday today.

On the shimmering shore of a private lake, in the VIP fishing area.

Under the parasol, Li Feng sat on a fishing chair that looked expensive at first glance, holding a fishing rod in both hands and staring at the float on the water.

Behind him, Tang Yan, who should have been the birthday girl today, was dressed in a sophisticated sun-protective sportswear outfit and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

On the other side, Zhang Yuxi, the chief secretary, was so nervous that she kept wiping the cold sweat from her palms with a tissue.

There's no other reason than that Boss Li's mood right now is absolutely, positive!

A whole afternoon! A full four hours!

In the nearby fish tank, two tiny white fish, no bigger than the palm of your hand, swam forlornly.

For a man who has gradually developed the traits of a fishing enthusiast, being out of the game, or nearly out of the game, is a humiliating disgrace that can ruin a good day!

As the surrounding air pressure dropped, Tang Yan and Zhang Yuxi exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy.

Just then!

The float, which had been completely still, suddenly sank dramatically! It went black!

"They're here!!"

Li Feng, who had been maintaining a composed demeanor even in the face of a collapsing Mount Tai, immediately lost his composure!

He sprang up from the fishing chair, gripped the fishing rod with both hands, and jerked it upwards with all his might!

"Buzz—!"

The fishing line tightened, accompanied by the sound of water being cut, and a huge splash rose from the surface of the water. A brute force was transmitted from the fishing rod to Li Feng's hand!

"A huge shipment! It's definitely a huge shipment!"

Li Feng's eyes lit up as he excitedly engaged in a struggle with the unknown behemoth underwater!

"Go, boss! Pull it up!" Zhang Yuxi and Tang Yan were also excitedly clenching their fists.

However, Li Feng was, after all, a newbie player who only spent money on in-game purchases, and his skill in kiting fish was hardly professional.

Relying on his strength, he tried to pull the big fish out of the water in one go!

At this critical juncture of stalemate!

"Snap—crack!!!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out on the lakeside!

The expensive custom-made fishing rod in Li Feng's hand actually broke off from the second section in the middle!

It's a smash!

The fishing line, now without support, slackened, and the huge black shadow beneath the surface swung its tail, carrying half the fishing line with it, and disappeared without a trace!

The air fell silent for a second.

Li Feng stared blankly at the remaining half of the broken pole in his hand, stunned for a full three seconds.

Then, an unnamed evil fire shot straight to the top of the head!

"Bang!"

Li Feng slammed the broken pole onto the grass, engulfed in impotent rage:

"Zhang Yuxi! What kind of work are you doing?!"

"I sent you to buy fishing gear! And you're trying to fool me with this industrial junk that breaks with a single pull?!"

In this world, you can question Boss Li's business acumen, but you absolutely cannot let a fisherman accept the reality of losing his fish! Someone has to take the blame for this!

Zhang Yuxi was so frightened that she quickly bowed repeatedly: "Boss, I'm so sorry! It was my fault for not choosing well... I'll have the brand come over right away to apologize to you..."

Just as Zhang Yuxi was being scolded to the point of being unable to lift her head, and Tang Yan didn't dare to step forward to stop her.

Suddenly, a burst of mocking laughter came from not far away.

"Heh, you don't even know the techniques for dealing with fish, so what kind of skill is it to make things difficult for a mere secretary instead of catching big fish?"

"Young people these days are too impetuous, thinking they can get anything in this world by brute force."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng's eyes swept over them like knives.

On the other side of the VIP walkway, an older man with a receding hairline walked over.

In the old man's arms, a young woman who looked more than a decade younger than him was clinging to him like a little bird.

The old man walked closer, glanced down at the broken fishing rod on the ground, and spoke with a sense of superiority that came with old money:

"The Zodiac Obsidian X Limited Edition costs 28 RMB per shaft, and it is indeed the top-of-the-line carbon fiber shaft available on the market."

"However, your secretary probably didn't tell you. Because of its lightweight design, this rod requires extremely high skill in playing fish. The brand claims that only members with more than ten years of sea fishing experience are eligible to purchase it."

The old man looked at Li Feng, and the meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer.

Even if you're a nouveau riche with a huge addiction to fishing, having a 28 yuan fishing rod can't hide the fact that you're a complete novice.

Those who can fish in this place are naturally either rich or noble.

Li Feng squinted, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he recognized the old man's face.

Wang Shi, a long-established real estate tycoon in China, is known for his love of mountain climbing and studying abroad!

The woman hanging on his arm was none other than Ms. Tian, ​​who had played several minor supporting roles before finally becoming his mistress.

If they met at a regular business meeting, Li Feng might still put on a fake mask and exchange a few polite words.

But today!

He was already seething with anger as a record-breaking fish got away! And now an old man was openly mocking his incompetence?!

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

"Who do we have here? It's Mr. Wang."

Li Feng sneered, showing him no mercy whatsoever, tearing away the facade of civility that Wang Shi was trying so hard to maintain:

"I don't really know how to fish."

"But at least I know that every penny I have standing here today is earned through my own hard work."

"It's better than getting rich and successful when you're young because of your father-in-law, and then kicking away the old boat that carried you across the river when you've achieved fame and success."

"Mr. Wang, I really can't learn your trick of discarding someone after they've served their purpose."

A "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success through his father-in-law's influence)! He abandoned his wife who had shared his hardships!

These words struck at Wang Shi's most sensitive and vulnerable spot!

His face instantly turned from red to green, and his finger pointing at Li Feng trembled: "You...you dare to talk to me like that?!"

"How dare you talk like that?!"

Seeing this, Miss Tian, ​​who was clinging to Wang Shi's arm, jumped out and pointed at Li Feng, shrieking, "How can you be so rude! Who are you calling a gigolo? Mr. Wang got to where he is today through his own talent and hard work!"

Li Feng didn't even glance at the woman who was jumping up and down.

"When I'm talking to someone, when did it become the turn of some nobody, a mistress who rose to fame by selling her body, to interrupt?"

Li Feng's tone was calm, yet he had thoroughly insulted Miss Tian.

"You...!" Miss Tian was so angry that she was fuming, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

But when she turned her head, she saw Tang Yan and Zhang Yuxi behind Li Feng. Aren't they both stunningly beautiful? Aren't they both far superior to her in terms of temperament?

Compared to a true top-tier actress like Tang Yan, she, an obscure actress, doesn't even have the right to be compared!

"Let's go."

Li Feng, too lazy to look at this disgusting old-and-young couple any longer, took the suit jacket Zhang Yuxi handed him, put it on, and led the two away from the fishing spot.

Only Wang Shi, his face ashen, and Miss Tian, ​​sobbing beside him, remained.

……

I got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom for the return trip.

The air pressure inside the carriage was still terrifyingly low. Li Feng loosened his tie, his gloomy face clearly still not recovered from the loss of the big fish that had escaped.

"Boss... please don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health. I'll order a better batch of poles for you tomorrow..." Zhang Yuxi carefully handed over a bottle of purified water.

Li Feng didn't take the water, and coldly ordered, "Notify the public relations department and the Weibo operations department!"

"By 8 a.m. tomorrow, I want to see a long exposé about how Wang Shi built his fortune with his father-in-law's help, and how that bitch surnamed Tian rose to power as a mistress and became an independent woman!"

"Sweep up the top three trending topics! Push it across the entire internet! I want the whole nation to see the character of this real estate tycoon!"

Zhang Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded repeatedly as she took notes: "Yes, boss! I'll contact the public relations department immediately!"

Li Feng turned to look at the receding lake view outside the window, still seemingly unsatisfied.

He added, emphasizing each word, "Tomorrow, send someone to book this entire club for me!"

"Send me ten high-powered water pumps!"

"Pump the water!!"

"I'm going to drain that lake dry! I want to see what kind of fish dares to break my fishing rod today!"
