Otherwise, if the other party ignores or fails to play a crucial role in these matters, it will also be a loss for oneself.

“What you said is indeed correct. I was just about to discuss this matter with you. This rule must not be broken, and now is the time for me to build up my prestige.”

Jiang Manyue also had his own thoughts. He knew that the other party would not make a move against them in the short term. Judging from the current progress, the other party did not pose a strong threat to them.

From this perspective, it's not hard to see that this is also an opportunity.

"You're right, but how you plan to interact with the other person is a good trump card in any school."

With them around, it's possible that, as the other side claims, we can seize the initiative in a short period of time.

Mingjiang Manyue was very clear that these people were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

In addition, their actions themselves have a considerable influence to a certain extent.

That alone is enough for them to spend a lot of time and money.

Lu Fan had considered using the fishing trip as an opportunity to ease tensions with the other party.

From those few words, he could easily tell that these people definitely had their own ideas.

Those few words also contained other deeper meanings.

This illustrates that the current situation in Jinghai is extremely complex, and everything is likely beyond the control of the other side.

The big fish that was caught is none other than them now.

“I understand the situation. You two are only seeing one of them right now, so let’s take them down one by one first, and then look for an opportunity later.”

The key is to proceed gradually.

The next morning, Lu Fan set up a fishing gear next to him, having been studying it the night before.

Fishing is considered one of the most popular sports.

After finishing his assigned tasks, Lu Fan looked into the distance, pondering how to fight back next.

Over the next three days, he devoted himself to studying fishing, and also sought training from several fishing masters.

After doing all this and knowing the exact location where the other party was fishing, Lu Fan also took his equipment and went to the area.

A large river runs through the entire area of ​​the city.

There are usually quite a few anglers there, and Lu Fan slowly approached the other party, only to see Shangguan Jianguo.

Lu Fan took the initiative to walk over.

San Guan Jianguo glanced at Lu Fan beside him but didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly looked at the floating object in the distance.

Lu Fan was tidying up the equipment around him, taking care of the fishing rods and other items. After finishing, he looked to the side.

Despite having undergone these few days of surprise training, they are still extremely unfamiliar with some aspects.

After struggling for half an hour, I finally put down the fishing rod.

Shangguan Jianguo also glanced at Lu Fan from time to time.

During this adjustment period, the other party had already caught seven or eight fish in a row.

"Some things are not as simple as they seem. Simple fishing actually involves a lot of intricacies."

"A big boss like you is usually busy with your own things, and there are some things you probably don't even know how to do."

Lu Fan felt awkward because his own intentions had been seen through by the other party in every way.

He could tell that the other party already knew everything about him, and even how he would act next was entirely up to them.

Lu Fan simply didn't know how to explain what was happening in front of him.

"Fishing is a top-tier sport, and I'm too busy with other things. I've wanted to try it before, and I remember my father loved fishing when I was a child."

They often took me with them back then, but many years have passed, and now that we have better equipment, some things aren't as comfortable.

Lu Fan chuckled. So much time has passed, and now everything is updated and iterated at an extremely fast pace.

Just like now, there are many of these things in front of him, but they are not very comfortable to use.

In the past, you could just use a fishing rod and some earthworms to start fishing.

"Young man, fishing is not as simple as you think. You may not be able to learn it even after a few days of study."

The most important thing about this is patience. If you don't have patience, I suggest you give up now.

Lu Fan remained silent in the face of these questions. He knew perfectly well that these were merely tests for him, a task that required patience. If he lacked even these qualities, how could he possibly catch the fish?

Jiang Ziya caught King Wu of Zhou while fishing with an empty hook, thus establishing the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted for eight hundred years.

Can't I even wait this little bit of time right now?

"That's a joke. Things have only just begun. How can you say you can't do it? Besides, how can you know if you don't try?"

If there is anything I have done incorrectly, please let me know and offer your guidance.

Lu Fan was extremely humble, after all, this matter required him to humbly seek advice, and only by catering to his interests could he gradually maintain the relationship.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jianguo didn't continue. That afternoon, the two sat down with Lu Fan and went out to fish for two or three small fish, but caught nothing else.

Shangguan Jianguo's fishing net already contained quite a few fish.

"There are some things that I don't think are worth trying, since not everyone can experience them."

I know you come from a big city, you have a lot of influence and power, and you haven't suffered much hardship.

In my opinion, it's best to just keep things as they are; saying too much about other things is pointless.

Hearing this, Lu Fan did not reply, but only smiled and said, "If one day is not enough, then two days will do."

"Sir, I have a friend who's in this business. He owns his own reservoir. I wonder when you'd have some time to come over and have a look?"

Shangguan Jianguo did not answer this question, but instead picked up his things and turned to leave.

Clearly, they didn't want to get involved in this matter any further.

After returning, Lu Fan realized his mistake today, but failure is the mother of success, and this matter has only just begun.

I was too perceptive today; the other party has already softened their stance based on my own actions.

However, I was too eager for quick success today, and I need a chance to slow down in the short term.

Things are done step by step; a few words won't solve anything.

"How did things go? Did he agree to your request?"

Lu Fan shook his head and gave a general account of what he had discovered that day.
