Chapter 62: Something's fishy!
"I'll bet on you!"
As soon as Su Ming said this, Gu Yushu's expression changed.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of provocation in her expression, and asked, "Bet on me? Bet on me for what?"
"Huh?" Su Ming was taken aback, then realized that his words were ambiguous. He quickly waved his hand to explain, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Gu Yushu would beat him to death on the spot.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean, you name the stakes! Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Gu Yushu stared at Su Ming for a few seconds, making sure he didn't mean anything inappropriate, before speaking: "Hmph! The bet is for you to do three things for me."
"Of course, if you win, I'll do three things for you, fairly and reasonably, provided it's not illegal, immoral, or immoral. Yeah, you know what I mean."
"Sure, no problem," Su Ming nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Gu Yushu nodded, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her lips.
She didn't believe Su Ming's nonsense about feeding the fish, and she didn't think he could catch any fish at all.
Su Ming temporarily ignored her, unable to fathom Gu Yushu's thoughts.
He picked up the fishing rod that had been sitting there for a long time, then slowly checked the fishing line and re-baited it with fresh bait.
His movements were still clumsy, even more casual than before.
Then he stood up, swayed gently, and just casually tossed his hand away.
The fishing hook, baited, traced an unsightly arc before landing with a soft thud in the water about two or three meters from the shore.
Water splashed gently, and the float stood up crookedly.
At this time, more and more anglers are visiting the area, many of whom are simply there to watch others fish.
Su Ming's casual toss immediately attracted the attention of several people nearby.
A man wearing a baseball cap couldn't help but speak up: "Brother, your casting is terrible. You can't cast far or accurately, and your float isn't even adjusted properly; it's all tilted."
Another angler, who looked younger, laughed and said, "Dude, you need to learn how to adjust the float and find the bottom, otherwise you'll have a hard time catching anything even after fishing all day."
Su Ming wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and nodded at them.
"Don't worry about these details if it's your first time fishing."
After saying that, he plopped down, staring at the crooked float, looking like Jiang Taigong waiting for someone to take the bait.
His appearance, paired with the exceptionally beautiful Gu Yushu beside him, created a peculiar scene.
More and more people were drawn to the scene, wondering what good deeds this young man had done to be able to find such a beautiful girlfriend to accompany him fishing.
Some people even picked up their phones and started filming short videos after seeing this scene of a novice fishing with a beautiful woman.
One person even started a live stream, broadcasting Su Ming's entire fishing trip live.
They even gave it a headline: "Young man makes bet with beautiful woman: if she catches a fish, she'll marry him!"
Su Ming and Gu Yushu were completely unaware of this.
At the beginning, there weren't many people in the live stream, but everyone loved watching the excitement, especially Su Ming's outfit and the beauty Gu Yushu together.
It quickly attracted a lot of viewers to the live stream, and the better the data on the number of people staying and interacting, the greater the push to the live stream.
Gradually, the number of viewers in the live stream reached a thousand.
The headquarters of Tengjia Technology is located in Hangzhou, a city thousands of miles away.
As one of the organizers of this industry exchange meeting, they have a very close relationship with Heartbeat Group.
Meanwhile, their MCN is also one of the top ones. This is a manager's office of Tengjia Technology.
Lin Yu sat in his office scrolling through Douyin (TikTok). He was the person in charge of this industry exchange meeting.
As he was scrolling, a live stream that suddenly popped up looked strangely familiar to him.
"This person...this woman...I feel like I've seen her somewhere before? Holy crap, isn't that Gu Yushu, the heiress of the Heartbeat Group?"
"Why is she fishing with a man? Is this her boyfriend? Are they on a date?"
He was even more stunned when he saw the title of the live stream.
"What shocking gossip have I stumbled upon?"
Time passed second by second. Just as the onlookers were getting bored and preparing to leave, and Gu Yushu also thought that Su Ming was about to humiliate himself.
The tilted float suddenly sank sharply without warning.
"Huh? They're here!"
Su Ming seemed to be stunned for a moment, then subconsciously realized that he had taken the bait.
He roused himself and started pulling on the rod, trying to bring the fish to shore.
Those around them gasped in surprise upon seeing the commotion.
"Damn, it looks like a big fish."
Su Ming's physique had been enhanced, and he quickly pulled the fish to the shore.
The bystanders were quick to react and immediately grabbed a net and scooped up the big fish.
"Good heavens, it's a big bluefish, at least seven or eight pounds." The young man who was helping weighed it and exclaimed in amazement.
The large, silvery-gray carp thrashed its tail in vain in the landing net, drawing praise and camera flashes from those around it.
Su Ming plopped back down on the stool, looked at the big fish on the ground, and smiled.
"Luck! Absolutely pure luck!" one angler said sourly.
"It's a newbie protection period, that's normal," another chimed in.
Su Ming didn't argue. Under the complex gazes of the crowd, he re-baited the rod and cast it.
This time, his casting motion was still not much improved, and the float was still a bit crooked.
However, something even more outrageous happened.
Less than 5 minutes later, the float dipped sharply again.
Su Ming instinctively lifted the rod and hooked another fish.
This time it was another carp weighing seven or eight pounds, which immediately left all the onlookers present, including Gu Yushu, dumbfounded.
"This...this can't be, right?"
"There are two in a row, and they're both this big."
"I've been watching for ages, and nobody's caught any fish in this pond, but this kid caught two big ones right away."
Indeed, ever since Su Ming provided bait to the previous anglers, none of them have caught any fish.
Seeing Su Ming catch two big fish in a row, the old man next to him was also completely astonished.
"Boss, is someone diving down here and catching fish?" someone jokingly shouted to the boss.
The owner was also bewildered, waving his hands repeatedly, "No, no, absolutely not, this is a legitimate fishpond."
Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Su Ming placed the carp into the fish basket, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he baited the hook and cast his line for the third time.
This time the wait was a little longer, about seven or eight minutes.
Just when everyone thought his luck had run out, the float gave a clear signal again.
Su Ming caught another big carp and pulled it out of the water.
"Damn! Three fish in a row, and they were all huge!"
Anglers who had been watching were already getting excited, thinking that the quality of the fishpond was good, as so many big fish could be caught at once.
Anglers who had been fishing for a long time were now looking on in disbelief, wondering why they couldn't catch a single fish.
On the contrary, this young man, who clearly didn't know how to fish, caught several big fish all at once.
"There's a ghost! There must be a ghost!"
