I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 365: Invitation Accepted

His fishing gear store had just opened, and although business wasn’t booming, Ye Chen didn’t have much time to dawdle, he needed to stay busy at the shop.

...

On Friday evening, Ye Chen was invited to dinner at Li Fu’s home.

Upon finding the address, Ye Chen discovered that Li Fu’s residence was actually in a high-end villa area, which was considered one of the more upscale communities in Jiangling City.

After giving Li Fu a call, a butler-looking person came out and brought Ye Chen inside.

"Mr. Li, good evening." Upon entering the villa and seeing Li Fu, Ye Chen greeted him.

Li Fu was very pleased to see Ye Chen and quickly invited him to sit down, "How about it, Ye Chen, the breathing technique I taught you, have you been practicing as I instructed?"

"I’ve practiced it for a few days, and the results are quite clear." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Don’t worry Mr. Li, I will try my best tonight."

"Good, good!" Li Fu patted his shoulder and laughed, "Young people should indeed exercise more and learn more. Here, try this new wine I got, it’s an ’82 Lafite."

After saying that, Li Fu personally poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took it and drank a sip, then smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you really didn’t have to go through all this trouble."

Li Fu waved his hand, "It’s no problem, I just like lively gatherings. Also, I have a habit of liking more friends and family around."

Having heard this, Ye Chen didn’t say much more. He knew Li Fu was trying to expand his social circle, but Ye Chen wasn’t particularly fond of this kind of social niceties.

The two of them chatted harmoniously, and time passed quickly.

"Come on, Ye Chen, let’s have a drink," Li Fu said, lifting his glass with a smile during their chat.

Looking at Li Fu, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Li, since it’s our first time drinking together, I toast to you."

Li Fu was briefly startled, then laughed, "Good, good." After that, he downed the wine in his glass, and then picked up a white wine bottle next to him to refill Ye Chen’s glass.

"Ye Chen, you should stay here tonight. You can leave tomorrow morning when I get up," Li Fu said with a smile.

"Sure." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Don’t mention it."

...

After chatting with Li Fu for a while, Ye Chen went back to his room to sleep.

The soundproofing in the villa was superb; lying in bed, Ye Chen couldn’t hear any noise from outside at all.

He had a dreamless night and woke up the next morning stretching. After washing up, he went to the living room.

"Young man, you’re awake."

Just as he sat down, he heard Li Fu’s voice.

Ye Chen turned his head to look at Li Fu and smiled, "Mr. Li, what are you doing here?"

"Hehe... I woke up early and thought I’d come and see how you were," Li Fu chuckled, "Young man, if you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."

"I’ll thank you in advance, Mr. Li." Ye Chen stood up, bowed to Li Fu, and said, "By the way, Mr. Li, I have to be busy at the shop, so I’m going to leave now."

With that, Ye Chen prepared to leave.

"Hey, Ye Chen, don’t rush off, I’d like to treat you to lunch today and discuss some business cooperation. I think your fishing gear store has a lot of potential," Li Fu called out.

Hearing Li Fu’s words, Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and said, "We’ve talked about collaboration before, and I don’t think it’s necessary."

"Of course, it’s necessary," Li Fu stood up and said, "We are both in business, helping each other is normal, just look at the projects you’ve been involved in recently, you’ve made me quite a bit of money."

Ye Chen was slightly startled by Li Fu’s words, then he smiled.

"Alright, since Mr. Li puts it that way, I shall humbly comply."

Li Fu laughed heartily, "Mr. Ye, you are so straightforward. I’ll come by your fishing gear store in a few days to take a look, haha."

"Okay, it’s settled then," Ye Chen agreed and then left the villa.

Downstairs, Ye Chen hailed a taxi and rushed to the café where he had agreed to meet.

About ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the café where he had arranged to meet Lin Yuqing.

Entering the café, Ye Chen found a seat by the window. Shortly after, a beautiful figure walked into the café.

Lin Yuqing sat across from Ye Chen and said with a smile, "You seem quite free today, having time for coffee, isn’t the shop busy?"

"It’s alright," Ye Chen shrugged, "The staff at the shop are also quite proactive."

"That’s great, how about I treat you to lunch today to celebrate?" Lin Yuqing suggested.

"Sure, I was just wondering where to eat, thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Lin," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, a waiter brought over their food, and Lin Yuqing paid the bill and left the café.

After leaving the café, Lin Yuqing took a car back to the office and started working.

After working busily for several hours and nearing the end of the day, Lin Yuqing began packing up her things, preparing to leave work.

At 4:30 PM, Lin Yuqing left her office.

She was dressed in a professional outfit that perfectly wrapped her figure, accentuating her attractive shape, captivating, and her long legs were enough to make anyone daydream.

"Lin Yuqing, you look so beautiful today, look, my eyes are glued to you!" Just then, a high-pitched scream came from a distance.

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing turned around to see two male colleagues behind her, whispering like infatuated fools.

Lin Yuqing glared at the two male colleagues annoyed, then strode toward the parking lot.

"Lin Yuqing, wait a minute!" Just then, another male colleague caught up with her and stopped her.

"What is it?" Lin Yuqing asked.

"Well... Ms. Lin, could we have dinner together tonight?" This male colleague looked at Lin Yuqing with anticipation.

"No, I’m busy!" Lin Yuqing firmly declined, and then continued walking.

"Ms. Lin, please, just this once," the male colleague chased after her and pleaded.

Lin Yuqing stopped, turned around, and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"It’s just..." the male colleague stuttered, "You’re so beautiful, there must be a lot of men staring at you, so I’m worried..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"The two of you are really something, daring to covet me; did you forget the way you two were beaten up and left with bruised faces by me yesterday?"
