"Have you caught any fish yet?" "Not yet! But at least I've got a bite! Whether I actually catch one depends on whether I have the appetite for it!"
Rod glanced at Old Lin and Mo Fei, thinking that these two fish couldn't be let go. Today, he had been outsmarted by Shi Ye and the others, leaving him questioning himself. Since Old Lin had come to him voluntarily, he decided to start with him and regain some confidence.
He reeled in the line and caught a Large Yellow Croaker! Two Large Yellow Croakers in three days—his luck was really shining! He tossed the fish into the Fish Bucket and watched as Old Lin and Mo Fei busily set up their rods. Shi Tian leaned closer to Old Lin and whispered, "Old Lin, be a gentleman! It's not nice to make someone stand around while they come to fish with you every day."
"There are several cartoon Fishing Boxes in the store; help her pick one out. It won’t cost much, but it shows you care about the details!" After saying this, Shi Tian turned around, grabbed her Fish Bucket, and hurriedly put the Large Yellow Croaker in the fridge to keep it company with the one from the other day.
Once she had stored the fish, she rushed downstairs. Old Lin was already carrying the Fishing Box and preparing to head out; his efficiency was impressive.
"Hey! Old Lin, wait a moment!" Seeing Old Lin about to leave, Shi Tian quickly called him back. "Details! You need to pay attention to details!"
With a tone of frustration mixed with encouragement, Shi Tian pulled Old Lin over to the counter and said earnestly, "You’ve got the Fishing Box, but what about the Fish Bucket? It must smell nice in your car after spending days fishing together. Can you bear to let it smell like fish?"
"The quality of life is important. If you're dating someone now and suddenly that quality drops, would they still want to continue dating you? When it comes to relationships, don’t just think about how to pursue someone; that’s not enough!"
"You need to put yourself in their shoes and think carefully about what kind of life they want! Lead them forward so they can look forward to the future!"
In order to manipulate Old Lin's feelings, Shi Tian felt like she had shattered her own principles—like leaves blown away by Wan Feng into the Pacific Ocean, irretrievable!
Scratching his head, Old Lin stared at Shi Tian in disbelief. "Boss, am I being manipulated for spending money in your store? As an employee, can I get a discount on these things?"
Old Lin's words made Shi Tian blush; he wasn't as easy to fool as Sun Lang!
That was fine; tricking Sun Lang was too easy. Now she couldn’t even be bothered with him anymore. He had worked for several months without pay and spent thousands in the store—enough profit for her to pay Su Xueyi's salary for a year!
"Don't doubt it; that's a fact! The boss is indeed manipulating you! But even if you know it's manipulation, you still have to go along with it because there’s some truth behind it!"
Before Shi Tian could respond, Sun Lang was busy weighing shrimp for customers while seriously saying, "I've seen this kind of manipulation many times before. Even though I know it's manipulation, I still have to go along with it—where else can I argue my case?"
Having been manipulated so often, Sun Lang had grown accustomed to it. If a few days went by without Shi Tian pulling one over on him, he felt uncomfortable all over. With Su Xueyi's vacation approaching soon, he wanted Shi Tian to manipulate him again and see how he could win Su Xueyi over.
Seeing Sun Lang undermining her efforts, Shi Tian shot him a glare before turning back to Old Lin. "It's no problem for internal employees to get discounts; however, this is your love for Mo Fei—can that be discounted? Hurry up and scan the code; once you pay, I'll help you plan out your day!"
After scanning the payment code, Old Lin shook his head vigorously like a rattle drum. "Boss, your plan is too expensive; better keep that for yourself! I've only just started working here for a few days—my salary hasn’t even been paid yet! I can’t afford this!"
"Can’t afford it? Even if you can’t afford it, you still have to spend! You work for me and earn money but expect to take it all away? Where’s the logic in that? Making money here while spending here—that’s just how things are!"
Look at Sun Lang, spending lavishly without a salary, and now he's about to win the heart of a beauty! Shi Tian thinks Old Lin's awareness still needs improvement; there's plenty of room for growth!
Do you know how Sun Lang managed to win over Su Xueyi? You need to get yourself a ride! Just let Sun Lang lend you his old bicycle. Call Mo Fei at noon and tell her you bought a car. After work, go pick her up yourself, and then you'll have a legitimate reason to find out where she lives!
Riding a bicycle with her to go fishing? That sounds tiring! If you get tired, just take a break and have dinner together along the way. Grab some milk tea before you go; whether or not you catch any fish isn't that important—what matters is the vibe that Artistic Young Woman enjoys!
Have you ever sat on the back of a bicycle? It’s hard to stay steady without something to hold onto. If she sits on the back of your bike, where can she hold on? You know what I mean? Shi Tian gave Old Lin a playful nudge on the shoulder, his eyes gleaming with mischief, letting him figure it out slowly.
After doing some convincing with Old Lin, Shi Tian stepped outside and crossed the street. Old Lin stood there in a daze for several seconds before suddenly snapping back to reality. He turned around, pulled out a cigarette, and offered it to Sun Lang, saying, "Sister Lang, can I borrow your bicycle for a bit? My future happiness depends on that bike!"
After sending off the customer and seeing Shi Tianyi already at the Fishing Spot, Sun Lang sighed and shook his head. He turned to Old Lin and said, "I’ll bring the bicycle to the shop early tomorrow; you can come pick it up."
Old Lin! A boss like this is hard to come by; you better cherish it! Your boss might just give out bonuses, but Xiao Tian directly delivers girls. Nowadays, finding a wife is way harder than making money!
When Old Lin arrived at the Fishing Spot, he was already carrying a small cartoon Fishing Box and a cartoon Fish Bucket. He glanced over at the two people gazing at each other affectionately. Shi Tian smirked, already plotting what gift Old Lin should bring for Mo Fei next.
