Chapter 683 - 683 670 Made Enemies Before Even Meeting

683: Chapter 670: Made Enemies Before Even Meeting 683: Chapter 670: Made Enemies Before Even Meeting The staff member responsible for reviewing the matter was very strict, not even senior anglers’ guarantees would secure an approval.

When Bob’s registration was rejected and the news spread around the club, other anglers who tried to call and register found out that the vacancy was immediately filled, and the new registrant was a Chinese person.

This gave Joe Smith and a few old buddies a whiff of conspiracy.

Perhaps the true reason behind his unlucky nephew’s failure to register was that someone had taken his spot!

“A yellow monkey also participating in the state competition?

Maybe my friends can help Bob take revenge at that time!

Damn the organizing committee!” Joe Smith fiercely drew on his pipe and exhaled saying.

…

On the other side, Yue Feng received an email from Lawrence the next day.

After completing the registration information, he informed Zhang Lin, the international student, that he would continue with his planned itinerary, following his successful registration.

Yue Feng had never been to the United States and his English was limited to basic communication.

He knew very little about foreign customs and culture, and even though Lawrence said he would provide hospitality throughout the journey, it was not the same as being with a fellow countryman.

Having Zhang Lin as a guide in Miami would better fit Yue Feng’s expectations!

After learning that Yue Feng had resolved the registration issue, Zhang Lin was also very excited.

Although Yue Feng was only a few years older than him, he had already set three world-class fishing records and was the domestic Fishing King, truly Zhang Lin’s idol.

His idol coming to the United States to participate in a competition was a delightful event, getting to meet him in person was definitely something to be excited about!

In the following days, Yue Feng started to prepare for his trip abroad.

He had Xin Kai arrange a service visa from an organization, and the visa issue was happily resolved.

Yue Feng and his girlfriend Tiantian booked first-class tickets that flew directly to Orlando International Airport in Florida.

They would then take a connecting flight to Miami.

Having previously experienced long-haul flights, Yue Feng was now quite accustomed to the journey to the United States.

The two of them with two large suitcases full of fishing gear appeared at Miami International Airport.

From a distance, Yue Feng spotted a pick-up sign with his name in Chinese characters.

A young man in his twenties with a tall figure and yellow skin was waving at Yue Feng.

“Hello, I am Yue Feng, and you must be Zhang Lin, right?

This is my girlfriend, Tiantian!” Yue Feng walked briskly over, pulling his luggage, and greeted Zhang Lin, who had come to pick them up.

“Wow, Brother Feng, I’m finally seeing you in person!

You look even more handsome than in the photos and videos!

Hello sister-in-law!

I’m Zhang Lin, just call me Xiao Zhang!” Zhang Lin spoke with fluent Mandarin, with a hint of a Beijing accent.

“Hello, now that we are in the United States, we’ll be relying on you for our itinerary!” Tiantian greeted him with a sweet smile.

“Don’t just stand there, get in the car.

I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying first!

I rented a nice place for you,” said Zhang Lin as he efficiently loaded Tiantian’s rolling suitcase into the trunk of a Chevrolet.

Yue Feng nodded, “Ok, let’s get settled first, then organize the rest.

I was able to come this time thanks to a friend here in the U.S.

Once we’re settled, I at least owe him a call!

Also, it seems we’ll need a yacht for the competition.

I’ve brought plenty of standard fishing equipment from China, and he should be able to help with the yacht!”

“Your friend must be very influential, to be able to resolve your registration so late and after the deadline.

Even my boss, old Michael, couldn’t find a way to solve this!” Zhang Lin chatted as he drove.

“I can’t tell you the specifics, but the registration was definitely successful.

I filled in the relevant details via email.

That certainly can’t be fake!” Yue Feng didn’t go into too much detail, in truth, he wasn’t clear on the specific operations either.

“Now that we’re in the United States, do you need me to post something on the forum on your behalf?” Zhang Lin broached another subject.

“Any particular reason?

What do you think we should do?” Yue Feng didn’t rush to decide and instead, posed a question back to Zhang Lin.

“The state tournament and the following Miami recreational are two different things.

The former is an official event, while the latter is a Bass·Pro club challenge extended to you.”

“Didn’t you set a world record with a tank catfish before?

That very record was once held by Joe Smith, the owner of the Big Mouth Bass club.” Zhang Lin explained the distinctions between the two events clearly to Yue Feng.

“I get the gist, so what’s next?

What do you suggest?” Yue Feng continued to inquire.

Zhang Lin: “My personal opinion is to hold off on posting.

You’re too conspicuous on the forums over here in America.

Being too prominent attracts trouble, and if they maliciously target you during the state tournament, it might affect your performance and even your final catch!

It’s better to announce our arrival after the state tournament is over to avoid the unnecessary hassle beforehand.”

Yue Feng nodded, “Understood!

Let’s do it your way then!

Also, where’s this store you mentioned?

If we’re free, let’s check it out.

I’m pretty familiar with the fishing gear scene back home, and since we’ve made a rare trip abroad, let’s see what an American fishing gear store is like!”

“Bass·Pro.

It’s not too far from where we will be staying, roughly eighty kilometers away.

It’s about an hour’s drive.

We’ll rest up a bit and I’ll take you there tomorrow to have a look!

I should mention that Bass·Pro is quite famous in Miami and it’s huge, almost 10,000 square meters in size, with outdoor goods, motorboats, fishing gear, outdoor clothing, and other accessories.

But those white Americans aren’t that friendly towards us Chinese!”

“Alright, let’s go with your plan!”

As the car moved along the avenues of Miami, Yue Feng couldn’t help but look outside through the car window.

Compared to the extremely expensive and densely packed skyscrapers back in China, the buildings in the United States were much more spaced apart.

There were quite a few tall buildings when leaving the airport area, but as they drove further away, the roadside buildings became increasingly sparse.

Most were single or double-story detached buildings, which looked quite beautiful and had ample space.

The online rumors of houses everywhere being small villas weren’t exaggerated at all.

After about an hour’s drive, the car stopped in front of a very pretty two-story detached house.

Zhang Lin: “We’re here!

What do you think, satisfied?”

Yue Feng and the kid got out of the car, stretched, and looked around, quite pleased with the detached house.

“Not bad at all.

Is this the house you told me about online?

The one that’s just a thousand US dollars to rent for half a month?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

Converting a thousand US dollars into RMB amounts to over six thousand yuan, averaging only about four hundred yuan a day, which was similar to a standard hotel room in China, but this house was much better than staying in a hotel.

“Right!

Local listings provided the options, and I picked out a house for you that offers good value for the money!

Now let’s get our luggage inside!”

“Okay!”
