Listening to Shi Tian's analysis, Sun Lang immediately stood up and turned around, ready to use the twenty thousand yuan salary as leverage against Su Xueyi. However, after taking just a couple of steps, he suddenly ran back, staring intently at Shi Tian for over half a minute.
What was going on? With Sun Lang staring at him like that for so long, Shi Tian couldn't help but shift his chair slightly, ready to bolt at any moment if things went south!
"Tian Ge, were you just talking about pie in the sky? When I was running the shop and you helped me strategize to pursue Xiao Xue, was that also just you painting a picture for me?"
Hearing this, Shi Tian straightened up and sat back down at the folding table. Now that he was discussing this matter, he felt more confident!
With a loud clap on the table, he pointed at Su Xueyi in the shop and retorted, "Did you actually get to eat that pie? Now that you've devoured it clean, you want to come back for the leftovers? If you could eat it, then it wasn't just a dream; it was a pie falling from the sky!"
His words stunned Sun Lang. Shi Tian stood up and fixed his gaze on him, preparing to deliver a soul-crushing blow!
"Do you know what it means to paint a picture? When you build a house, don't you need a design blueprint? That design blueprint is what we call painting a picture!
With that blueprint in hand, you gradually build the house—that's what we call making pancakes! The design blueprint was created by me; I guided you in building the house. Now you're living in that house and complaining about how hard it was to build? What do you think you're doing?"
After finishing his tirade, Sun Lang looked somewhat dumbfounded. What was he doing?
Being ungrateful? Rubbing his head, Sun Lang instinctively blurted out, startling himself into a shiver. He quickly pressed Shi Tian back into his chair.
"Tian Ge! Don't be angry; it's just that I don't know how to express myself! You understand me; I really didn't mean it like that!"
When it came to verbal sparring, Sun Lang was clearly outmatched by Shi Tian! With just a light comment from Shi Tian, cold sweat broke out on Sun Lang's forehead!
He opened a can of beer and slammed it down in front of Sun Lang. "Now show me your sincerity!"
That sincerity was easy to provide. He tilted his head back and downed the can of beer in one go; it was just enough to wet his throat.
Smack!
Another can of beer was opened and placed in front of Sun Lang. "Now show me your apology!"
Looking at the beer before him—wasn't this just drinking? No big deal! He tilted his head back again and finished it off with ease, letting out a satisfied burp.
Smack!
Yet another can of beer was opened and placed before him. "Now show me your regret!"
As he stared at the beer Shi Tian had placed in front of him again, Sun Lang felt a bit uneasy. Was this guy some kind of dictionary? How could he come up with so many words?
However, this cup is filled with regret. Now, I feel like my insides are twisted with remorse. Why did I provoke him when I had nothing better to do?
Another can of beer down the hatch, and seeing that Shi Tian was reaching for another, Sun Lang immediately surrendered, saying, "Tian Ge! I can't drink anymore! Really, I can't! The beer is up to my neck. How about we switch to something stronger?"
After three cans of beer, Shi Tian felt his stomach starting to swell. He patted his full belly and popped open another beer with a flick of his finger.
"Sister Lang! Brother, I'm helping you escape from this sea of troubles by giving you such a great idea. Aren't you going to show some gratitude?" He slammed the beer down in front of Sun Lang and stood up, gazing at the vast ocean behind him, contemplating the scale of the project. He was running low on funds!
With such a large undertaking, the return on investment would be quite slow. Even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least a year or two to recoup costs. If any changes occurred midway, it would be an even longer wait!
As the last can of beer was finished, Sun Lang felt a strong urge to escape. Unfortunately, Shi Tian had not yet set everything up here; there was nowhere to run!
"Sister Lang, I want to turn this entire area into a Fishing Platform and hold a Rock Fishing Tournament here next year. The beer is finished; it's time for you to get to work! Keep this in mind; we can't announce it just yet. Think it over carefully!"
A Fishing Platform could generate income through a Fishing Tackle Shop and Smart Fishing Rods aimed at tourists. Participation would be free, limited to one entry per person!
After the New Year, I plan to open ten Restaurants here. When tourists catch fish, they can have them processed for free at my shops until the fishing ban in March. This will help attract more visitors!
You’ll steer the direction of this project; leave the details to those two unreliable folks at the shop. It’s their expertise, and I trust they can handle it well!
The Rock Fishing Tournament will allow tourists to come and play for free while we process their Seafood at no charge. But often, what’s free turns out to be the most expensive. Once they get their hands on a Rod, will they be able to resist? If one out of ten people makes a purchase, that’s profit!
