Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 604 - 350: Taking a Stand

The scene was a bit bizarre.

A handsome young man in his early twenties was speaking leisurely. Without listening to the content, just looking at his tone and gestures, it seemed like he was having a casual chat, completely harmless to anyone, without any sense of oppression.

However, in the ears of Qiu Wu and other members of Zhang Yang's team, Zhang Yang's threats were very blunt and could even be described as arrogant.

Aren't you fond of playing dirty and stirring things up?

Brothers, let's just lay it out openly. If you keep doing this, I'll arrange you the same treatment as Ma Yafei, just to see if you can handle it!

Some might laugh at this scene, saying Qin Xiao is running a physical company and not playing the internet influencer games, does Zhang Yang opening a special live broadcast really have any actual impact?

At first glance, it seems to have no significance; after all, online and offline are still somewhat different.

But think carefully, really no impact?

Besides his million-follower account, Zhang Yang also has the accounts of other team members, plus a bunch of matrix accounts signed with the MCN company. If they really want to make it dirty for someone, they don't even need tricks and can ruin a second or third-tier brand's reputation in minutes.

If a bit of brains is used, or an opportunity is found to trap people, the destructive force is even greater.

Once the public opinion rhythm is aligned, ordinary anglers who don't know the truth would all become support waving flags and cheering for Zhang Yang.

Of course, with Zhang Yang's character, he wouldn't stoop to doing this unless absolutely necessary.

"I... I remember!" Qiu Wu swallowed, not daring to look Zhang Yang in the eyes.

"Good that you remember! Go back and tell your boss, don't leave out a single word! Let's go!" Zhang Yang called out, quickly leading his people away from the scene.

After Zhang Yang left, Qiu Wu finally got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt on his pants, and then pulled out his phone to call the boss.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, I followed your instructions and went to see Zhang Yang. I didn't finish speaking before that guy named Wang Yan nearly strangled me in a sneak attack, Zhang Yang is not planning to let it go, openly said he wants to recruit Han Mocheng into the team, and said if we continue targeting his people, he'd use the same method against Northwest Wolves as he did Ma Yafei!"

"Alright, got it! You okay? Come back, we'll handle things here!"

"Okay!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Qin Xiao in the call seemed unruffled, speaking with a calm tone. However, after hanging up the call, he wasn't so composed, throwing the newly lit cigarette on the ground and stamping it out, furrowing his brow.

"Zhang Yang? Planning to team up with Han Mocheng? Didn't intimidate him, a bit troublesome!" Qin Xiao muttered to himself.

...

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang took Wang Yan and the rest into the car, ready to find a place for lunch. Han Mocheng took longer to weigh in his results, missing the clash between Wang Yan and Qiu Wu, and by the time he emerged with the fishing gear, Zhang Yang and the others weren't at the agreed rendezvous point.

Little Han didn't hesitate, pulled out his phone and dialed the number, and in a few seconds Zhang Yang picked up: "We're at the northwest corner exit of the parking lot, had a minor situation, come over and then we'll talk!"

"Alright!"

...

Five minutes later, Han Mocheng had stowed his gear into his car's trunk and approached Zhang Yang and the others' parking spot empty-handed.

Seeing Han Mocheng arriving, Zhou Chu in the back seat opened the van door.

"Get in, let's find a place to eat, talk along the way!"

"Okay!"

Han Mocheng got into the car, barely had the door closed before eagerly asking: "What happened? What's the matter?"

Wang Yan, smoking, grimaced: "Nothing much, just Qiu Wu came over to show off again, if it weren't for the captain stopping me, I nearly beat him up! To damn hire people to obstruct us and dare to call out! Doesn't even know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"

Zhang Yang didn't dig into that topic, instead addressing everyone in the car: "Just as I told Qiu Wu, now I'll repeat it in front of Little Han.

I've decided to officially invite Han Mocheng to join our team! Master Han, you have no objections, right?"

Han Mocheng had already expressed his stance to Zhang Yang last night, so with Zhang Yang announcing it today, he had no objections at all.

"No objections! I've been looking forward to it!!" Han Mocheng nodded, clearly stating his position.

"If anyone has any objections or concerns, don't hold back, ask if curious, we'll all be stirring the pot from here on out!"

"No problems! Welcome!"

"Yeah, welcome Master Han to join!"

Everyone had tasted Han Mocheng's whole sheep and drank his six-digit value of fine wine, so nobody had any objections, expressing welcome.

After everyone gave their stance, Wang Yan asked: "Boss, why did you stop me earlier, dealing him a good beating would quiet things down!

This annoying last competition still makes me angry!"

Wang Yan's temper hadn't subsided, feeling a bit puzzled at Zhang Yang's intervention.

Zhang Yang glanced at Wang Yan: "If you really hit him, there'd be no room for negotiation! Qin Xiao is a measured person, provoking him wouldn't do us any good, and if Qiu Wu takes advantage of the situation, hitting him could get you into trouble!

Brother Yan, you're older than me, but in terms of personality, you're too impulsive when things happen! Master Han's contract is still in Qin Xiao's hand, overall situation takes precedence!"

Upon mentioning this, Han Mocheng also commented: "Regarding the contract, I'll go back to the company to resolve it personally after this competition, I can handle my own affairs!"

"Alright! Let's find a place to eat first, and other matters can wait till the competition is over!"

...

After brief communication, Liu Zi drove the van, taking everyone away from the parking lot down the mountain, with noon being fairly relaxed, they went out for lunch!

The group found a restaurant to satiate their hunger, and by one o'clock returned to the Jiulong Mountain Villa parking lot.

With more than an hour till the afternoon competition, many anglers were resting under the shade, in the cars, under the trees, on lounge chairs, resting people were everywhere.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and the rest had just parked when Han Mocheng's WeChat alert sounded. He glanced down at it, immediately looking up towards Zhang Yang.

"What's up? Is there something on my face?" Zhang Yang touched his chin, suspecting bits of food from lunch were stuck.

"An interim internal ranking from the six competitions came out, my friend sent me a copy!" Han Mocheng said as he forwarded the file to the team's WeChat group.

"No way? Seriously? Didn't the organizing committee say the competition's detailed rules had specified no scores would be announced until the competition ends?" Meng Fan murmured in surprise.

Zhang Yang grinned, opened the file for a quick scan, commenting while he read: "In China, favors... oh crap!"

Before finishing the phrase on the social favors, Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim profanity as he shouted crap.
