Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 626 - 364: Han Mocheng Rejoins the Team

Director Liu's words concisely summarized the difference between mixed bait and puffed bait, providing a comprehensive overview that allowed Han Mocheng, who was extremely curious about bait production processes, to gain a basic understanding of bait production.

"Wow, there's so much to learn about bait production! I've really gained a lot of knowledge today!" Han Mocheng nodded repeatedly, resembling a diligent student from his school days.

"Haha, no need to be so amazed. It's only unfamiliar because you haven't seen it before. Spend a few days in the workshop, and it won't be so surprising."

"You're right..."

...

In the following days, Han Mocheng and Zhang Yang settled into their respective routines.

Xiaobao was subjected to the intense training plan that Zhang Yang had set before the competition, involving thousands of casting practices each day. Initially, he couldn't complete it at all, but as his basic skills improved and proficiency increased, Xiaobao's casting technique showed significant progress and he could keep up with Zhang Yang's training plan, gradually getting on track.

As for Han Mocheng, he spent his time with Old Liu, mingling among different production lines in the processing workshop, working, learning, packing, and stacking. Han Mocheng dove deep into almost every slightly technical process.

A week quickly passed, and Han Mocheng transformed from a complete novice with no experience into someone with basic knowledge of bait production, becoming half an insider.

Although this foundation isn't enough for research and development, for an angler keen on deep professional learning, this knowledge is basically sufficient.

"The seven days are up! I won't keep you anymore! You know where the factory is, so come find me anytime when you're free!" Old Liu said, puffing on a cigarette, speaking warmly to Han Mocheng.

Han Mocheng grinned: "Haha, alright! I'll go check in at the company first, and once everything is settled, I'll definitely come back and treat you to drinks on a weekend!"

"I'll be waiting for your drinks. The company's doing well, and President Zhang is very capable. Work hard and good luck!"

"Okay! I'll head off now, Uncle Liu!"

...

Having said a simple goodbye, Han Mocheng completed his factory experience plan. Following the location address on WeChat, he started the car and headed straight to the company's urban location.

Behind, Old Liu saw Han Mocheng off to the factory gate. Once the car drove away, Old Liu puffed on his cigarette, sighing deeply: "That's what a real talent is!"

Han Mocheng left the factory around eight in the morning, drove for less than an hour, and soon arrived at the company's headquarters.

Instead of feeling apprehensive in a new place, Han Mocheng confidently walked into the company hall.

"Hello, miss. Are Zhang Yang and Liu Zi here at the company today? I'm Han Mocheng, here to check in!"

At the reception desk was Xiaoli from the last time meeting Xiaobao, and upon seeing Han Mocheng wearing sunglasses, she smiled and said: "President Zhang and the others are at the practice pool in the backyard of the company headquarters. Would you like me to take you there?"

"No need. Just jot down the route for me, and I'll get there myself!" Han Mocheng waved his hand, understanding it wouldn't be appropriate to ask a young woman to leave her post now that she's working alone at reception.

"Head that way, there's a back door. Go right after exiting, walk straight, and you'll see it after passing through a corridor."

"Got it, thank you!"

After getting the directions, Han Mocheng walked confidently through the back door.

In the backyard, Zhang Yang was training Xiaobao and Liu Zi.

Though he was said to be training them, Zhang Yang had already freed himself from being busy initially.

He himself didn't need to practice casting; he lay lazily under a large 2.2-meter diameter fishing umbrella, sitting back on a foldable lazy chair and idly scrolling through Douyin on his phone.

Han Mocheng strolled over and greeted him from ten meters away.

"Zhang Yang! I'm here!"

Upon hearing the greeting, Zhang Yang looked up, stood up from his seat promptly, and recognized Han Mocheng approaching.

"Wow, you're really fast! Old Liu called me and gave a very high evaluation of your internship this week!" Zhang Yang said delightfully.

"Haha, I didn't waste my time at the factory and learned a lot! My equipment is in the trunk, should we start training right away?" Han Mocheng glanced at Xiaobao and Liu Zi who were diligently practicing casting.

"There's no rush, come on, let me take you to the warehouse! We'll arrange a new set of equipment for you! Liu Zi, Xiaobao, keep practicing seriously. Don't wander around at noon. Xiao Han is here, let's officially welcome him and eat out together!"

Xiaobao: "Got it!"

Liu Zi: "OK"

Meng Fan also stood up smiling: "Welcome, Brother Han, for officially joining the team!"

Han Mocheng took out some cigarettes, passing them around, saying familiarly: "We've met before, no need to be so polite! We'll have a drink together later!"

After a quick greeting, Zhang Yang personally led Han Mocheng, strolling over to the company's subsidiary warehouse.

As they walked, Zhang Yang chatted with Han Mocheng.

"How was the week at the factory?"

"It was amazing! I've always been curious about bait production, thinking it's quite magical. Visiting and staying for a few days, I found it really interesting!

If I were to say I understand bait production processes thoroughly, that'd be pure exaggeration, but I do have newfound knowledge about bait composition, state, and weight, all relevant to fishing. That's no lie!"

"Haha, since you say so, I'm relieved! Just turn at the corner here, your equipment is ready for you!"

Zhang Yang took Han Mocheng into the warehouse, greeted the warehouse manager briefly, then retrieved the pre-selected full set of competitive fishing gear from a nearby shelf.

Honestly, before arriving, Han Mocheng had no expectations for the gear, being a wealthy young man who could afford expensive equipment. Each of his rods in the carrier bag was a high-end Japanese import worth thousands.

But upon receiving the fishing rods and boxes that Zhang Yang prepared, Han Mocheng was a bit surprised.

The equipment prepared for him by Zhang Yang was top-of-the-line.

Most surprising to Han was the fishing rod, a plain black stick with no decoration except for tape on the handle. It looked ordinary, but felt extraordinary in hand.

"Wow, which brand is this blank rod from? Its feel and hardness are incredible!" Han Mocheng, recognizing quality, reacted with surprise.

Zhang Yang grinned: "Haha, you can't buy this on the market! It's specially customized from a factory collaborating with our company!

To achieve the ultimate feel and performance, we incorporated several types of very expensive imported materials into the carbon fabric! This three-meter-six rod alone costs several hundred in materials! And that doesn't include the trial and modification costs beforehand!"
