Reminded by Fang Yang, the three of them watched Zhang Ze shouting and yelling as he reeled in the fish, wondering if he would still be as arrogant and unrestrained as he was now when the fish was finally caught.

Not only the three who loved watching the excitement, but Xu Peng, who was catching snails in the distance, also turned his attention to Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze's commotion was so great that it was impossible not to attract attention. Although he had gotten used to Zhang Ze's shouting yesterday, this scene was still impossible to ignore.

Even the carefree Chen He, who was fishing with Zhang Ze, couldn't concentrate on fishing at this moment. Moreover, with Zhang Ze shouting like that, even if there were fish, it would be impossible to catch them. They were already frightened away somewhere. Chen He immediately put away his fishing rod and hid to the side.

In an instant, whether at the scene or in the live broadcast room, all eyes were on Zhang Ze. Before the fish even arrived, Zhang Ze had already become the brightest star at the scene.

Zhang Ze thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention, and was overjoyed to see Chen He step aside. With such a large stage, he no longer had to worry about not having a place to perform.

After shouting and urging for half an hour, Zhang Ze finally managed to lure the fish to the shore. Chen He immediately stretched out the net and scooped it up before the fish could even react.

Looking at the carp in the net, which weighed less than three pounds, Chen He looked at Zhang Ze with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "This is the ten-pound fish you were talking about? That's all?"

Zhang Ze hadn't expected that the big fish he'd spent so long catching wouldn't even weigh three pounds. He chuckled sheepishly, "Oh dear, isn't it said that a pound of fish has ten pounds of pull? Who knew a three-pound fish in the water would have such a strong pull? Besides, in this little river, a three-pound fish isn't small at all; it's enough for us to make a dish."

After Zhang Ze said that, Chen He couldn't utter a word of complaint, and the audience in the live stream was also amused by Zhang Ze's words. The chat was filled with a dense barrage of comments, overflowing with joyful laughter...

"I never expected you to be like this, Brother Zhang! Where's the tough guy on screen? I was shocked when I saw you! Your goofy side has come out!"

"Haha, ten pounds, not bad! A flurry of action, as fierce as a tiger, and a real mouse caught on the first cast!"

"Hehe, this is the real Zhang. We've been fooled by this guy for decades. It turns out this is the real Zhang."

······

The viewers in the live stream were amused, with mixed opinions. Generally speaking, most of the comments were teasing. For Zhang Ze, it was all harmless. Besides, fishing is supposed to be a form of entertainment. You can't really fixate on the size of the fish, can you?

Mu Yu laughed so hard her guts almost burst. "President Fang, it's just as you said, this Teacher Zhang is a complete clown, he's absolutely hilarious!"

Huang Guang chuckled, but seeing the camera turn this way, he changed the subject, "President Fang, school started yesterday, it must have been quite lively, right?"

"Isn't it normal for schools to be bustling at the start of the new semester? However, our company's schools are mainly for internal needs, so there aren't many students, especially in junior high school classes, which usually only have two or three classes. Elementary school classes have a slightly larger number of students, especially preschool and kindergarten, which have the most students."

"Doesn't this just show that our company's employees are mostly young? The more young people there are, the younger the children are. Mr. Fang, it's a great thing for the company's employees that you've set up a school right here in our neighborhood!"

Huang Guang was also happy about this. The company was located in a remote area, surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness. Even the nearby university town was more than ten minutes away by car. If the company did not have a school, it would be a big problem for the children of thousands of employees to go to school. At the very least, it would take a lot of time to pick up and drop off the children.

"With hospitals, schools, and canteens, employees' livelihoods are guaranteed, allowing them to focus on their work. After all, our location is too remote. If we were in the city center, we wouldn't have this problem."

······

After playing for more than two hours, everyone was exhausted. Even Fang Yang, Huang Guang, and Mu Yu, who were standing on the shore watching the three of them fish and catch snails, looked tired. "Let's go back. We still need to clean up these things later, otherwise we don't know when we'll be able to eat the fruits of our labor tonight."

Chen He rubbed his stiff back and started packing up his fishing rods. Xu Peng, who had already finished his work, came over and picked up the fish bucket weighing more than ten kilograms. "Master, let me carry this. You've been fishing all afternoon, you must be tired."

Chen He sighed, "I'm getting old. I've only been fishing for a little over two hours, and my back is already giving out. You should take it back first, and I'll deal with it when I get home."

Zhang Ze was also packing up his fishing rod when he heard this and chuckled, "Teacher Chen, your apprentice is quite good. At least he's got the filial piety aspect down pat."

"Haha, not bad. You have a good eye, but I don't know how talented you are at cooking. That still needs to be verified."

For now, Chen He is quite satisfied with Xu Peng. He is a man of few words, hardworking, and has a bright eye. He also respects Chen He, and his character is beyond reproach.

After meeting up with Fang Yang and the others who had been waiting on the shore for some time, Chen He exclaimed, "Where's Xiaoyu? Everyone's about to go back, should we call her?"

Huang Guang waved his hand, "No need, she just took the fish and went back with Xiao Xu. We can just go back."

"That's great, Mr. Fang. You must have found it quite boring."

"Teacher Chen, what are you saying? You probably haven't been to the company's fishing spot much, have you? I go fishing there occasionally, but most of the time I just watch them fish. It's nothing special; it's all about the mindset!"

"No, I haven't had time to go around the company lately because I've been busy preparing for this variety show. But I can go and check it out when I get back tomorrow. To be honest, I have quite a bit of experience when it comes to fishing."

Since they haven't been living in the new headquarters building for very long, Chen He has been busy preparing for the variety show almost all the time, except for when he first moved in his home. He is still completely unaware of the company's situation.

"This is all settled now. After you go back to the company tomorrow, you can rest for a few days, spend time with your family, and relax. If you like fishing, you can go to the riverbank and cast your line."

Zhang Ze laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I'm quite envious of your company's employees. They can accomplish most of their daily tasks without leaving home, unlike us, who are stuck in traffic as soon as we go out, wasting most of our time on the road."

"Old Zhang, Yuewen welcomes you."

Seeing Fang Yang's funny expression, Zhang Ze chuckled twice, "Where would I find the time? I have to rush back tomorrow. My agent got a movie role while I was in Africa a while ago, and filming starts in a couple of days. I need to get ready to join the crew when I get back."

"Look how busy you are, how many movies are you going to shoot this year?"

"Sometimes I make five movies, sometimes three. In short, I'm either making movies or on my way to make movies all year round."

Zhang Ze sighed, "Even during the Spring Festival, when things get busy, the three-day holiday is quickly gone. How can you make the decisions?"

Huang Guang patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder, "It's good to be busy. People in this industry are glamorous in public but suffer in private. It's better than others who are idle and have no roles to play."
