CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: IN THE END, MY FEELINGS WERE MISPLACED

This way, after deducting the 200 cost of starting fishing, and the boss refunding them 100 earlier, it just happens to be 1000.

Yang Leqi looked at the stack of red notes and was overjoyed.

Today’s meal is secured!

"Th-thank you?" The pond owner looked at the extra 76 in his hands, feeling a bit speechless.

"You’re welcome." Qin Yun said with a smile.

However, it wasn’t just the pond owner, the director group also looked at the 1000 in Qin Yun’s hand with a complex expression. They didn’t expect Qin Yun to earn 1000 yuan so quickly! And she did it alone...

If he hadn’t followed her the whole time and witnessed it with his own eyes, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it was true!!

Someone who fishes as easily as eating, catching fish as she demands, it was like the fish were a hundred times more obedient than the ones he feeds himself.

After all, even the fish he feeds don’t listen to him...

Yeah, it’s just a group of fish that understand spoken words.

Under the indescribable gazes of the pond owner and the director team, Qin Yun returned to the square with Yang Leqi where they had parted earlier.

At this time, Chen Yao and Qin Hao were still dressed in mascot costumes, diligently playing their roles.

Yang Leqi ran towards the two, excitedly gesturing with her arms, "We’ve earned 1000, no need to work anymore!"

The crisp and cheerful voice attracted the attention of passersby.

"Really? How long has it been? How did you earn it?" Chen Yao, shocked, removed the large and cumbersome headpiece, revealing his handsome face drenched in sweat. His hair, soaked with sweat, clung to his forehead, yet it couldn’t conceal his handsomeness and even added a bit of rebellious allure.

"Sister Yun took me fishing, we caught over a hundred jin, the boss even refunded us, begging us to stop fishing." Yang Leqi said with a bright smile, her pride evident in her tone, and her good mood was hard for others to ignore.

"Over a hundred jin? Did you use a net to scoop the entire pond?" Even the composed Chen Yao couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.

"Nope, it was Sister Yun who fished them, with a rod!" She nodded exaggeratedly to correct him, "Also, I just helped Sister Yun put the fish in the bucket, I didn’t catch a single one, it was all Sister Yun’s doing."

"All caught by Qin Yun? How is that possible!" Qin Hao said dumbfounded.

Listening on the side for a while, he also removed his headpiece, hearing Yang Leqi say that all over a hundred jin of fish were caught by Qin Yun, he simply couldn’t believe it.

He took his phone from inside his clothes, checked the time, it had only been an hour and forty minutes, how could she catch so many so quickly and find a buyer to sell them all!!!

"Why not possible? Just because you can’t doesn’t mean others can’t! I witnessed it with my own eyes and personally took the fish off the hook and put them in the bucket. Doubting Sister Yun means you’re doubting my eyes and hands aren’t working!" Yang Leqi glared at him, disgruntled.

Just then Qin Yun strolled over.

"What’s going on?" Qin Yun asked curiously upon seeing Yang Leqi flushed with anger, looking as if she was about to pick a fight.

"Sister Yun, he’s doubting that all the fish you caught were bought with money just for the show!" Yang Leqi immediately confronted him when Qin Yun approached, reporting Qin Hao’s thoughts while glaring at him.

"I, I didn’t mean that, I just didn’t expect... After all, in such a short time, even professionals can’t achieve that..." Qin Hao hesitated to explain.

He rationalized his suspicion.

The director shooting Qin Yun, hearing Qin Hao’s doubts, looked at him with a "you’re a fool" expression. How could people from the same company be so different?

However, if it were him, without witnessing it, he might also suspect it.

Qin Yun roughly understood the situation, seeing Yang Leqi still a bit aggrieved, she glanced at Qin Hao, "Want to compete? Let you see for yourself?"

"No need, Sister Qin Yun, I just, just couldn’t wrap my head around it at first, wasn’t deliberately doubting you."

"Oh? So you still doubt? After you finish working, let’s go to that pond and compete. I don’t want people claiming I bought fish for show after the broadcast. Anyway, the director required earning 1000, we’ve completed it." Qin Yun nodded in agreement.

Not having stayed long in the entertainment industry doesn’t mean she’s foolish, directly using the simplest and most direct way to squash such baseless suspicions in the cradle.

Qin Hao’s apologetic expression froze on his face, awkwardly not knowing what to say.

After a while, he muttered, "I, I don’t know how to fish."

"Me neither, today was my first time." Qin Yun straightforwardly interjected.

"First time??!! How..." possible.

Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Hao closed his mouth and swallowed his words.

"Alright, if we keep chatting, the boss will come to deduct our wages." Chen Yao interjected to smooth things over, joking about himself: "There’s only a dozen minutes left, if I lose pay because of this, my hour’s hard work will have been in vain, my dedicated persona will collapse, and what about my image?"

"Sorry, Brother Yao." Qin Hao apologized, also expressing gratitude.

After all, if he had a disagreement with other guests on camera, it would be very unfavorable for him, given he’s still a rookie, while both Qin Yun and Yang Leqi have been in the entertainment industry for some time with connections.

Qin Yun perhaps due to company reasons wouldn’t do anything, but Yang Leqi’s company might not be so lenient.

Seeing the people she’s with, it’s clear the company intends to promote her.

He vaguely overheard a veteran in the company mentioning that Yang Leqi seems to be a big shot’s daughter, though he doesn’t know if it’s true, but regardless of its truth, he shouldn’t upset her on this show.

If it turns out to be false, that’s fine, but if it’s true, he won’t have a chance to rise.

He cannot gamble on such a slim possibility.

After Qin Hao quieted down, Yang Leqi dragged Qin Yun to the ice cream shop, pleading, "Sister Yun, I want this ice cream."

Qin Yun, even more tempted than Yang Leqi, immediately asked for one of every flavor, spending 40 yuan.

Yang Leqi stared at the seven or eight different flavors in front of her, dumbfounded.

She only wanted one, now...

She hesitated, "Sister Yun, isn’t this too much? Won’t we get a stomachache eating so much...??"

Qin Yun had already finished one, hearing her question, she looked at her stomach, blinking in confusion, "You’re only eating one, how would you get a stomachache? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yang Leqi: "..."

Ultimately, I was wrong.

Turns out, out of all these ice creams, only one was meant for me...
