49: Chapter 49 How much money 49: Chapter 49 How much money “Today, our fishing spot is a river tributary in Qinglong Lake’s waters.
Technically, fishing isn’t allowed here, but no one really checks this spot, so we’re kinda bending the rules.
Look at the size of this fish, everyone!
It’s way fatter than the ones caught near Wangjiazhuang!”
Yue Feng was chatting with his friends in the live stream, unhooking a fish and showing off the big carp he had caught to the camera.
As everyone was thoroughly enjoying the chat, Wang Jian strolled over to where Yue Feng was.
“Yo, the young man is still live streaming, big internet star, huh!” Wang Jian said nonchalantly.
Yue Feng glanced over, recognizing the guy who initially didn’t really want to interact with him, so he responded somewhat coldly, “Just messing around!”
“Which platform are you streaming on?
I’ll check it out later!” Wang Jian, oblivious to the hint of unwelcome, continued making small talk.
“Seafood Live, I’m still broadcasting.
If you need something, we can chat after I’m done!” After answering, Yue Feng turned away, ignoring Wang Jian.
That’s just how Yue Feng is.
When you first come asking about fishing and you’re barely responsive, don’t expect him to serve you when you decide to show interest later; sorry, buddy, he holds grudges!
“Is someone hitting on you again?”
“It’s the second wave already, isn’t it?
Hope they’re not here to sell bait again!”
“You know, you can’t really fault Yue Feng’s bait.
I tried out the prize he sent me yesterday, and it worked pretty well!”
“The host isn’t hanging any ‘small yellow fish’, you got the first taste, we are still hungry here!”
“Thanks for the love, guys!
I don’t have enough supply right now, so no ‘small yellow fish’ for now.
Please help share the stream, and I’ll do another giveaway!”
Wang Jian, hitting a soft spot and feeling awkward, turned to head back but stopped when he reached Lei Lei and Xiao Ma.
“Brother Jian, maybe you should change spots, feels like our area is just not hitting.
Why not move over here and try!” Xiao Ma called out.
“Ha, no need, I just got a call; there’s some issue at the store I need to handle!” Wang Jian made up an excuse.
“Oh, that’s too bad, the fishing is actually good over here, big sizes too!”
“You two keep playing here; I’ll pack up my stuff and head back!”
Seeing Wang Jian leave, Xiao Ma and Lei Lei exchanged looks knowingly without saying a word.
The live stream was planned for three hours, but Yue Feng wrapped it up in just two and a half, a lesson learned from last night’s PK event, to spare some time in case of another PK invite.
Meanwhile, You Ying was playing little schemes of her own.
Her MV from last night had exploded in less than a day, surpassing 8 million views and sparking a covering frenzy on the platform, firing up her popularity once again.
But You Ying was more curious about how Yue Feng had managed yesterday’s feat.
The cool, slightly rogue guy had successfully attracted You Ying’s attention, but precisely for that reason, she hesitated, watching Yue Feng’s live stream notification without daring to appear.
This feeling was indescribable, a mixture of quiet anticipation and subtle hesitation and unease, a stark contrast to her past boldness in asking for joint streams or initiating PKs.
Her best friend Su Cheng seemed to notice You Ying’s unusual behavior, tiptoed behind her observing for a while before nonchalantly plopping onto the sofa.
“You Ying, what are you doing?”
You walk without making a sound!” You Ying exclaimed, both startled and annoyed.
I saw you just spacing out with your phone!
What’s up, thinking about that cute guy again?”
“Mind your own business!” You Ying rolled her eyes, not really wanting to engage in this sensitive topic with her best friend.
“Seriously, I’ve noticed you’ve become more timid.
If you like him, go for it!
Keeping quiet isn’t going to solve anything!
We are no less than him!”
“I was thinking about the MV.
Do you think we could spend some money to buy the original version?
The ones online are all recordings from the live broadcast.
Their quality is too poor!”
“That’s true, the resolution is indeed lacking!
We’re about to hit 10 million views.
Imagine how popular a high-definition version would be!”
“How about I try to contact Yue Feng for you?” Su Cheng suggested.
I’ve already sent him a private message, but I bet his inbox is already full.
It’s unlikely he’ll see it, and he hasn’t left any contact information in his public profile!”
“A meal at Haidilao, and I’ll find someone to ask for his phone number?”
You can get his number?” You Ying instantly perked up upon hearing her friend’s offer.
“Just wait, I’m going to ask a friend for help right now!”
About ten minutes later, Su Cheng handed You Ying a sticky note with a phone number.
“Here you go, I found it for you!”
“Where did you get this from?
I’m starting to think you are 007!”
“I asked a friend who works at the platform to get it from the registration information!
Remember you owe me a meal at Haidilao!”
We’ll go tonight!” You Ying shamefully compromised in front of the phone number.
At ten past four, Yue Feng had just rebaited for the second time, and the fish were still biting well.
The phone suddenly rang, pulling Yue Feng away from his focused fishing.
Checking the caller ID, it was a strange number from out of town, so Yue Feng casually answered.
I’m from Seafood Live, You Ying!”
Hearing the name on the other end, Yue Feng’s mind went blank.
Damn, You Ying was actually calling me?
“Sorry for calling out of the blue.
I actually wanted to thank you for your MV yesterday, with the meteor shower.
The second thing is, I wanted to negotiate with you; I would like to buy the original master tape of the MV!”
“How much are you prepared to pay?”
With the mention of money, Yue Feng’s mind heated up, and he reflexively spat out the question, though it was a bit too late once he realized it.
“Uh, I don’t know much about the cost of shooting such a high-quality MV.
I’m not sure about its specific value.
Why don’t you suggest a price, and let’s see how that sounds?” You Ying had fantasized before calling that he might be interested in her and offer it for free, but it turned out she was just overthinking it.
Yue Feng, now unsure if the tape could even be made available, regained his composure and replied, “The tape isn’t with me at the moment; I’ll contact you as soon as I can get it.
I’ll call you the moment I have news, is that okay?”
I’ll wait for your call!”
