Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 631 - 367: Houses, Houses!!

"Who's anxious to call you! You Chen Shimei! Boohoo..." Xiao Wei continued to cry, but her emotions were noticeably less intense than before.

"Alright, alright, I'm Chen Shimei! I'm a bastard, let's stop being angry, okay? I'll have someone else handle things at the company, I won't go anywhere, just stay home with you!

Whatever you want to eat, we'll go have it, wherever you want to go, I'll go with you! We'll make up for your birthday twice over!"

Zhang Yang patted Xiao Wei's back and finally managed to calm down the boss's emotions after extensive effort.

"You big villain! Big villain!!!!"

"Alright, alright! I'm a villain! Let's stop crying, your face will be all messed up! Let's go upstairs, wash your face, change clothes, and I'll take you out! Whatever you want to do, we'll do!"

Under Zhang Yang's sincere apology, Xiao Wei's mood finally eased. Zhang Yang took the opportunity to grab the suitcase and led Xiao Wei upstairs, back to the room.

Once back in the room, Zhang Yang locked the door as soon as he entered, without saying a word, drew the curtains, and indulged in a passionate kiss.

Being an old playboy reborn twice, he knew exactly how to quickly draw men and women closer.

As Wang Yan used to say, there's nothing a one-night stand can't solve; if there is, then two!

The reason Xiao Wei felt so wronged to the point of running away was ultimately due to accumulated emotions being overlooked, coupled with Zhang Yang's mistake yesterday.

Now that he's admitted the mistake, done the work, and the emotions have been effectively soothed, it's only natural that peace gradually returns.

"Xiao Wei, if we're free this afternoon, shall we go look at houses?" Zhang Yang said abruptly with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Look at houses? Don't you already have a house in the city?" Xiao Wei was taken aback and asked puzzledly.

"Han Mocheng bought a large flat at Dayou Mansion. Both Wang Yan and I think it's great! I heard there are good layouts and floors in Phase Two, how about we buy one too? Use it as our future wedding house?"

"Pah! Who wants to marry you! You haven't even bought an engagement ring, is this auntie that cheap?" Xiao Wei shook her head like a rattle, but the joy in her tone was unmistakable.

As a Beijing girl, Xiao Wei is definitely among the non-pretentious type. Normally, she wouldn't travel far to a guy's city and proactively apply for a job at his company just because she liked him.

With Xiao Wei's personal conditions, she's never lacked pursuers, but after confirming her relationship with Zhang Yang, she's never given any tester the slightest chance.

The two have been dating for several years, and now Zhang Yang is proactive about buying a wedding house, which, for the young lady, is definitely a milestone victory.

"Buy. Why not buy! Buy big! We'll go this afternoon, buy whatever you like, your hubby isn't short on cash!!"

Xiao Wei gave Zhang Yang a sidelong glance: "Nonsense! With those few bucks in your pocket, still pretending to be a big spender! Diamond rings are just a tax on intelligence, just buy something for the occasion! I don't like wearing such things!"

"Alright, all up to you! If not, we'll buy a big one at the two-dollar store! Save the money to get you a new car!"

"Since you're being so sincere! This time, this auntie will forgive you! I want to eat red-braised pork, craving meat!!!"

"Buy, buy double portions, if we can't finish, we'll pack it up and bring it back!"

"Ah, you are so annoying!"

...

In the next two days, Zhang Yang and Xiao Wei didn't go to work at the company, but stayed together, going out to play, looking at houses, and finally managed to completely soothe his girlfriend.

The houses at Dayou Mansion were indeed nice. Zhang Yang and Xiao Wei just went through the sample rooms of Phase Two, and immediately felt the urge to buy a house, although they didn't immediately finalize and sign the contract, they both liked it very much.

Seeing this, some may want to complain? There is already a house in the city, why buy another pre-sale house as a wedding home? Isn't this redundant and unnecessary?

This is not the case, the house Zhang Yang previously bought was intended for investment, a small 89-square-meter apartment—though it's sufficient for marriage, with Zhang Yang's current capacity, it's somewhat underwhelming.

After a year and a half, the house price will reach a relatively high turning point, and by then Zhang Yang will quickly sell it before the price drop, retaining only the most premium local property for self-use.

Buying a house, as someone reborn, is like playing a game with cheats; as long as one's mind isn't muddled, it's definitely a surefire win, Zhang Yang may not have ambitions in this area, but who would refuse to reap the benefits of the era's development?

While Zhang Yang was busy soothing his girlfriend, looking at houses and hanging out, Wang Yan was also not idle.

With Zhang Yang's assurance, Wang Yan and yoyo also seriously discussed the matter of buying a house.

The two pooled together the money available, coming up to slightly over fifty thousand, with Phase Two layouts often around two hundred fifty to sixty square meters, the total cost can reach upwards of three hundred thousand.

yoyo and Wang Yan didn't look at such large layouts, opting instead for a secondhand ready-to-move-in apartment with an area similar to Han Mocheng's, though the layout and floor are slightly inferior.

The price hasn't been negotiated with the owner yet and needs gradual engagement, but it's already put on the agenda, just a matter of the high or low price, and timing.

Time ambled along leisurely, with over half a month slipping by unnoticed since the end of the preliminary competitions for the Guangwei Fishing King Cup.

The time now reached mid-October, the weather slowly cooled down, and one of the outdoor fishing sessions gradually approached its end, waiting only for the autumn wind to rise and cool temperatures to bring outdoor venues to closure.

Wang Yan and Han Qiang, as usual, continued their night-and-day routine as black pit anglers, maintaining their live-streaming work.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang's devilish training for Xiaobao and Han Mocheng began to bear initial success.

The company backyard Practice Pole Pond.

"Xiaobao, after practicing this long on your rod casting fundamentals, how do you feel?" Zhang Yang casually asked, glancing at Xiaobao with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hehe, how about a test? I feel I've improved! Boss, when will you teach me about bait preparation, float adjustment, and so on?" Xiaobao grinned broadly, his expression and eyes carrying a hidden expectation.

After intense training over this period, Xiaobao had tanned and slimmed down considerably, his originally pale complexion darkening by at least two shades, now resembling the skin tone of a seasoned angler.

"Alright, let's assess your progress! Liu Zi, Little Fan, Big Han, all together, gear up, let's go test!"

Zhang Yang called upon the other team members as well.

"Where are we going, Yang bro?" Liu Zi, who was closest, scratched his head, looking puzzled.

According to previous practices, testing could be done at the home practice pond, it was easy to catch fish there. However, it was apparent Zhang Yang had different ideas this time.

"To the riverside! Hurry up, no dawdling!"

Assessing an angler's casting level in calm conditions doesn't hold much significance, after all, real combat isn't windless.

The riverside Zhang Yang chose was quite interesting.

In late October, with northern winds blowing all day, you'd better find a windy point and all the skill you have—use it!

Soon enough, the group loaded their equipment into the car, and in no time, they hit the gas straight to the riverside.

By this season, there were noticeably fewer people fishing by the river compared to spring and summer. Today was Monday, and the riverside had strong winds, so there weren't many fishers.

Zhang Yang specifically drove to find a windy fishing spot at a clear water point.

"Try the water first, see how the bite goes? After an hour of trial fishing, I'll set the test rules for you! Complete them independently, no whispering!"

With Zhang Yang's words everyone finally understood his intentions.

The fish speak for themselves, everything else is secondary! Zhang Yang is serious this time.
