Capítulo 1345: Chapter 1341: Brother Jing
Chen Yang remained silent throughout, speeding up once he saw the water surfacing.
Soon enough, he managed to dig out that eel.
The eel was three to four centimeters in diameter, practically a giant among eels.
The moment it was excavated, everyone present was startled.
Yang Ruoxi and Dai Annie retreated hurriedly with their buckets, frightened by the large creature.
Chen Yang swiftly grabbed the wriggling eel, then turned and said with a smile, “Ruoxi, it’s just an eel, don’t be scared, quickly bring over the metal bucket.”
Yang Ruoxi was taken aback only for a moment when the big guy appeared, but she calmed down and wasn’t as frightened after.
After all, it’s not something that bites people.
“Okay… okay.” Yang Ruoxi nodded and brought over the metal bucket.
Chen Yang put the huge eel into the metal bucket.
This guy was indeed big and extremely restless.
Even inside the bucket, it struggled crazily, almost jumping out several times.
“Wow, it’s really big, I’ve never seen such a large eel before,” Qiangzi exclaimed, peeking into the bucket.
Chen Yang found a clean water source in the paddy field and washed his hands.
“Haha, this isn’t considered big. When we were young, someone even caught one as thick as an arm in the fields, like a python,” Chen Yang said with a laugh.
“An eel as thick as an arm? That’s too large,” Qiangzi’s complexion changed upon hearing that, startled like Yang Ruoxi and the others.
“Yes, back then, I thought it was quite big too.” Chen Yang nodded, then washed the mud off his hands and legs, putting on his shoes, and returned to the field bank.
“Uncle Chen Yang, why did you put on your shoes? Stay a while longer to catch with us, I want to learn your skills too.” Seeing Chen Yang putting on shoes, Qiangzi exclaimed.
Chen Yang waved with a smile: “There’s no real skill to it, just requires physical strength and quick hands. You keep catching; I have things to do, so I’ll head off first.”
“Alright.”
Upon hearing this, Qiangzi didn’t say much more, nodded, and continued leading Yang Ruoxi, Dai Annie, and the others to catch more eels.
Initially, Chen Yang intended to catch eels with them, since there wasn’t much to do in the afternoon.
But earlier, Chen Yang had a feeling those bodyguards he taught a lesson wouldn’t be dismissed so easily.
They might come back looking for trouble, so he left the fields ahead of time, returning to the village.
As he passed the village entrance, Chen Yang specifically glanced at the place where they previously parked.
He noticed the car was no longer there.
“Could they just have left?”
Chen Yang thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the car hadn’t left; instead, it drove into the village from outside and parked at the entrance of his clinic.
Returning to the clinic, Chen Yang frowned at the car parked outside.
Before he could react, the MPV’s door opened.
From the outside, the vehicle appeared as a regular MPV.
Once the door opened, the inside revealed luxurious decor, ambient lighting, a starry ceiling, and everything in between.
It was akin to a mobile KTV room.
The door opened, and a round-faced man with a bald head, dressed in a white suit, stepped out.
Just a glance from Chen Yang at this person’s demeanor was enough to detect something.
This wasn’t a bona fide businessman but rather someone prospering through underground dealings.
Falling into the category of an underworld boss.
Indeed, as Chen Yang surmised, that’s exactly who this person was!
“You must be Chen Yang?”
The round-faced bald man stepped down from the car, greeting Chen Yang with a seemingly friendly smile.
Despite the smile, not a hint of goodwill was conveyed.
Quite the contrary, it exuded a cold, sinister feel.
“Yes, I am Chen Yang. Who are you?” Chen Yang stood straight, acknowledging while questioning the round-faced bald man’s identity.
The round-faced bald man maintained his smile and said, “I’m just an ordinary businessman from the provincial city; you can call me Brother Jing.”
Upon hearing that, Chen Yang’s brows furrowed instantly.
Brother Jing?
Wasn’t that the name mentioned by the manager from the old scenic spot last time?
Unbelievable, in just a couple of days he’s come knocking.
“Oh, so you’re Brother Jing,” Chen Yang remarked indifferently.
“Yes, that’s me.” Brother Jing chuckled and nodded, then said, “Chen Yang, dear brother, I’ve come this time not to cause trouble but to discuss business with you. If it’s convenient, could we chat inside the car?”
Saying this, he stepped aside, gesturing towards the MPV with an inviting motion.
Regarding Brother Jing, Chen Yang felt a natural distaste.
However, since he was so polite, repeatedly claiming to talk business, Chen Yang grew interested, curious about what kind of business it might be.
“Alright.”
Chen Yang nodded nonchalantly, then joined Brother Jing in the MPV.
Once inside, Brother Jing didn’t rush into the topic but silently picked up the champagne in the car and poured Chen Yang a glass.
As he poured, he said: “Earlier, my bodyguards were out of line, don’t take offense, Chen Yang, I’m honestly interested in collaboration, no other intentions.”
Chen Yang glanced at him, remaining silent.
“Here, consider this drink my apology to you.” Brother Jing smiled, offering Chen Yang a glass courteously.
This surprised Chen Yang.
Normally, with Brother Jing speaking to him, there shouldn’t be such politeness.
Especially considering their conflicts, with Chen Yang even directly beating his bodyguards recently.
Could a typical underworld boss swallow such indignation?
“Let’s skip the drink and get to business. What do you want to collaborate on, and what sort of cooperation exists between us?” Though the other party was courteous, it didn’t mean Chen Yang had to reciprocate.
Chen Yang had no intention of deep interactions with him, thus declined the drink.
Upon refusal, Brother Jing showed slight displeasure but quickly regained composure.
“Alright, since you’re straightforward, let’s cut to the chase and talk business directly.” With Chen Yang uninterested in the drink, Brother Jing didn’t resort to pleasantries.
Placing down the glass, he began speaking about his purpose.
“I’m here to discuss tourism collaboration. You should have experienced the scenic spot I established last time.”
“Facilities and activities are commendable, but unfortunately, there’s no official license.”
“So my intention is to leverage your company’s brand, allowing my scenic spot to bear the highest-grade tourism area’s emblem.”
“Of course, it’s not free. I’m willing to invest two million funds for a three-year usage right.”
He candidly expressed his ideas, aiming to borrow Liuhe Village’s highest-grade tourism area name to legitimize his scenic spot.
Upon hearing the collaboration proposal, Chen Yang immediately understood his earlier courtesy.
All because of significant profit incentives.
