Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 636 - 370: Zhang Yang’s Plans

On the way, Zhang Yang drove silently without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat tense, and Han Mocheng, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, tried several times to find a topic to lighten the mood but couldn't find the chance.

It's not often that you see Zhang Yang keep a stern face and remain silent. Clearly, today's interim review didn't satisfy Zhang Yang, and Xiaobao's bad luck further provoked him, adding fuel to the fire.

Half an hour later, instead of returning to the company, Zhang Yang drove everyone to the town's fishing tackle shop.

"Go directly to the second floor, I'll park the car!" Zhang Yang called out, and everyone obediently got out and went upstairs.

In this season, the fishing tackle shop isn't that busy, especially since Zhang Yang hasn't been around recently, so anglers didn't come by to hang out with him.

Only Zhang Yang's mother was watching the shop at the time, and once everyone entered, they exchanged simple greetings before heading directly upstairs.

"How come you have time to come back today? Are you eating dinner at home? I can buy more groceries at the supermarket," Zhang's mother asked Zhang Yang, who lagged behind a bit as he entered the room.

"No need, they're not eating at the shop! We went out for acceptance testing of fishing results and now need to have a meeting upstairs! Maybe... you could go buy some ribs, I'm craving them! I can watch over the shop; it's not busy at this hour!"

Zhang Yang's first reaction was to refuse his mother's suggestion, but after a second thought, he randomly found an excuse to send his mom off.

"Alright, I'll go get some now, we'll have ribs tonight!" said Zhang's mother, nodding, and she promptly headed to the supermarket.

"Okay!"

Once Zhang's mom leisurely strolled out of the shop, Zhang Yang casually locked the door with the latch from inside.

Truthfully, Zhang Yang was somewhat upset. Today's performance by the team starkly contrasted with what he expected. As for Xiaobao, he was just the trigger for Zhang Yang's anger.

Once he took care of all that, Zhang Yang strode upstairs.

On the second floor, for a long time, it served as a conference room for the Black Pit Jianghu team members and for some indoor filming. The outer room had a long table that could seat about a dozen people; the inner room was a simply arranged studio for recording indoor content.

The four people who had gone up earlier sat on their chairs, sitting upright and not daring to make a sound, waiting for the captain to summarize the results of today's fishing test. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Zhang Yang casually took a seat, placed his phone face down on the table.

He glanced at everyone and began slowly, "The field acceptance is over! To be honest, the overall performance was awful!

Especially you three, Xiao Fan, Liu Zi, and Xiaobao, everything I taught about competitive fishing, it's like a mess in your heads, completely unusable in practice, and technically, there's no order at all!

Let's talk about the test I gave you today!

The conventional fishing conditions at Wen River, one hour of trial fishing, common species like crucian carp, white stripe, wheat sow, and bittersweet.

I set up three subjects for you, a total of nine fish!

Actually, this fishing subject is very simple: bottom fishing, mid-water fishing, and surface fishing for the three different species!

Look at what you caught?

In a situation with small fish disturbances, conventional fishing conditions, you chose stinky bait to start fishing? What were you thinking? Aren't you aware that nuisance fish will storm the nest before you can even bottom fish? It's common knowledge.

Within the first hour of fishing, it was obvious that using a long rod for small crucians yielded more bites, but once the test began, apart from Han Mocheng, the three of you stubbornly stuck to using the 3.6-meter rod, ignoring the flexible response based on fish conditions I taught you?

Let's talk about the second subject, the bittersweet fish, have you never fished for this common species before?

With a small mouth, complicated bait expression, and high difficulty in catching the bite, when facing consecutive mistakes, you should adjust accordingly, right?

Using gear and bait set for crucian carp to fish for bittersweet? What were you thinking?

Especially Xiaobao, relying on luck, catching a few fish and feeling smug, look at yourself. Isn't it embarrassing?

This is a fishing competition, your role is a competitive angler, not a lottery customer, is the competition all luck, is it about relying on luck?

I rarely emphasize attitude issues with you on ordinary days, thinking you're no longer kids, taking a beloved hobby as a career wouldn't involve attitude issues.

But after today, see for yourself, what was shown?

Especially you, Xiaobao, I can accept a lack of foundation and poor performance, even during the competition I gave you reminders, to take care of you.

Take a step back, even if you placed last, it's normal.

But ask yourself, was your attitude proper when seated on the competition field?

While others adjusted by changing hooks, lines, and bait for bittersweet, what did you do?

Others carried smaller hooks, thinner lines, why didn't you? Are the logistics we provided to you just for show?

Without changing hooks, failing to catch target fish, resorting to hoping for other fish, is this what I usually teach you?

Even so, giving attitude during the fishing test, while others finished and asked you to stop, you gave me attitude?

What? Do you think your lousy fishing had merits? Have I been too easygoing in training, making me seem like a pushover?

Today, in front of these three, I'll make it clear, with this attitude, I'll forgive you this once, but if it happens again, pack up and get out, the team doesn't need a weak soldier like you! Understood?"
