The spot directly ahead was completely ignored by Xiaohui for fishing as he intentionally swapped places with Zhang Yang, moving to an adjacent open area.

With an 8.1-meter rod, doing a normal bait cast, he didn't care if fish were biting or not but deliberately practiced the force technique of striking the fish when lifting the rod.

The frequency with which Zhang Yang casts his long rod seems casual when he does it, but only those who have tried it know how difficult it is to maintain that frequency.

The longer the rod, the greater the leverage resistance when holding it; to perfect the technical actions of casting and striking fish, an angler's arms, waist, and core muscle groups need to be very strong.

Since Zhang Yang promised Xiaohui he would provide technical guidance, he naturally explained everything meticulously.

All morning, although the fish in the spot were obviously plentiful, Zhang Yang pretty much didn't pay much attention. Most of his focus was on correcting Xiaohui's movements and power application techniques.

It's a proven fact that whether it's fishing or anything else, there really are those genius types out there.

But even someone who's not a genius can master the various technical actions of casting and reeling in fish with a long rod and fine line through focused and deep learning.

A serious Xiaohui changed from his usual lazy state and practiced with utmost seriousness, again and again,

After hours of high-intensity training in the morning, his technique and power application when lifting the rod significantly improved compared to the day before.

In Zhang Yang's eyes, once basic skills are mastered, what's needed next is copious practical grinding,

So Zhang Yang took out a whole box of spare 0.4# lines from the car and directly gave them to Xiaohui in one go.

For the rest of the day, from just past ten in the morning until dark in the evening when they packed up, Xiaohui didn't move from his spot except for meals and bathroom breaks.

Using 0.4# lines to catch large crucian carp averaging seven to eight taels or a pound, initially, he would lose fish frequently, but as time went on, the chances of losing fish decreased. By late afternoon, he could lift the rod and strike without hardly losing any fish.

Seeing Xiaohui work so hard to train his weak spots, even Cheng couldn't help but be impressed by how seriously Xiaohui was taking this.

Over the next two days, Zhang Yang and the four-man crew, including Cheng, continued to have fun at the reservoir. The over-pound wild crucian carps had become commonplace to them and they even unexpectedly caught two carp weighing four to five pounds.

Through continuous fishing over four to five days, Zhang Yang had basically grasped the general fish situation at this reservoir.

They initially formed a group to have fun, solve mysteries, and gather content for filming. Having completed the filming tasks perfectly and awakened Xiaohui, the "culprit," continuing to play further seemed pointless.

So, on the fifth morning, Zhang Yang discussed with Cheng and the others and informed Yange that they were preparing to pack up and head home!

These few days of intensive fishing not only resulted in a bountiful catch but more importantly, deepened the friendship within the temporary team members,

While away from fishing, they chatted endlessly, gaining a deeper understanding of each other's personalities among several friends.

As they left, they didn't really take any crucian carp with them; Zhang Yang brought back a large ide, and Yang also arranged for them to take a chunk of black pork's hind leg.

Thoroughly satisfied, Zhang Yang and Xiaoyi drove their van and went downhill with Cheng and the others. They only parted ways with Cheng and Xiaohui's car after entering the highway out of the city.

The private reservoir trip greatly satisfied Zhang Yang, but while intensive fishing looks fun, it actually demands a high level of physical fitness from anglers.

It seems like just sitting by the water is nothing and not tiring, but once a tightened mind relaxes, the accumulated fatigue from these days gradually washes over you.

That evening, Zhang Yang drove his van back to W City. After giving the ide and black pork meat to Lao Zhao, he returned home early to rest.

The following morning, it was rare for Zhang Yang not to wake up at dawn; instead, he relaxed and slept peacefully until after eight in the morning. He got up, washed his face, took a shower, and rejuvenated, he returned to the store, leisurely entering the phase of store management and other tasks.

Zhang Yang now had the materials for the fishing trip, and what remained was the video editing and post-production process.

This time, Xiaoyi didn't give the video to Lin Nianwei to edit, instead opting to follow the editing concept of the previous video, performing a series of edits and post-production processing.

Two days later, a super-long fishing trip video was split into two parts and came out as a demo version. Only then did Xiaoyi follow the established business process, uploading it to the backend and awaiting final confirmation.

At this moment, Lin Nianwei finally saw the results of Zhang Yang's week-long fishing trip.

There was no need to say much about the highlights of the video; after adjusting the editing approach, it was much stronger than the previous sample, requiring virtually no adjustments.

But that's beside the point. Seeing Zhang Yang had fetched a large ide and brought back black pork, Lin Nianwei, who had her own private calculations, dialed Zhang Yang once more.

"Hello? Director Lin, what are your instructions?" Zhang Yang noticed Lin Nianwei's call, thought little of it, and picked up with a slight smile.

"Oh, Zhang Yang! It's the weekend today, alright? I'm not happy with you calling me Director Lin!" Came the somewhat adorably annoyed voice of Lin Nianwei over the phone.

"Alright, alright! Oh Great Beauty Lin, what are your commands?" Zhang Yang scratched his nose and immediately changed his address.

"I saw the video sample in the backend, the overall quality is very high, and the highlights are excellent! The idea to split it into two episodes for length is correct!

I'm calling because I wanted to ask, what happened to the black pork you brought back? And the ide, I've heard wild ide tastes really good!"

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was momentarily unsure how to respond.

Though they communicated and interacted privately, outside of professional relations, their personal friendship wasn't particularly close, at least not from Zhang Yang's perspective, far from the level of close friends.

Zhang Yang is quite clear-headed when it comes to business matters, but when it comes to relationships, his sensitivity isn't high enough.

Faced with Lin Nianwei's previous implicit hints, Zhang Yang basically missed the point.

Even though he might have had some immature thoughts about dining with Lin Nianwei, once his attention was diverted, it quickly shifted to other things.

In a word, Zhang Yang's current focus in life is primarily on the company and his career.

As for dating or getting involved with someone, even when faced with Lin Nianwei, a 95-point girl who clearly has a favorable view of him, Zhang Yang remains as steady as an old dog.

"What? Are you planning to play dumb with me till the end? I've already asked Xiaoyi! He told me, the black pork is delicious! Zhang Yang, you're being selfish!"

Seeing Zhang Yang not responding, Lin Nianwei continued with a slightly indignant tone.

"It's not like that, really not! Where do you get that idea?" Zhang Yang hurriedly explained.

"This young lady is craving meat! You think of a way to resolve it.

Given your very perfunctory attitude, I officially notify you that if the meat issue isn't resolved, the consequences will be serious!

I might add some behind-the-scenes clips at the end of the video, and if your persona crumbles, don't blame me! You know I have that capability! Hmm hmm!"

Fully in character, Lin Nianwei wasn't intending to be reasonable with Zhang Yang at all.

"Stop, stop right there! Tonight, I'll treat dinner, you pick the place! Splurge as you wish, will that be okay?"

The black pork was indeed quite flavorful when we first got it, but after sitting in the fridge for several days, it has been affected. If you want to eat it, I'll bring some and we'll find a restaurant to have it cooked!"

"That sounds more like it! Smart move on your part! Wait for my call, toot toot..."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Yang scratched his head in slight frustration; clearly a smart and capable girl, yet privately, so hard to deal with.

The world of food lovers, indeed there's no logic to be found?
