Chapter 689 - 689 676 New Friends

689: Chapter 676: New Friends 689: Chapter 676: New Friends Yue Feng nodded, “Oh!” and that was that.

That was just the kind of temperament Yue Feng had; he never chose friends based on status or ability.

As long as the vibes were right, it didn’t matter whether the other person was rich or poor; he was willing to make their acquaintance.

For instance, when fishing in the rainforest, Yue Feng could even befriend the local boat captain.

As for Joe Smith, the impression he made on Yue Feng through his words and actions after meeting today was not very favorable.

If there were no other factors, it was best to keep a respectful distance.

After lunch, around one-thirty in the afternoon, a stretched Lincoln sedan parked downstairs at Yue Feng’s residence.

Zhang Lin, hearing the commotion, went downstairs to inquire and soon Yue Feng and Baby, both dressed in appropriate outfits, went downstairs and got into the car.

“Respected Chinese friends, my employer has requested that I pick up you and your friend!” the driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, spoke politely and decorously, far better than those thugs.

Yue Feng nodded and called to Zhang Lin and Baby, “Get in the car!”

Once they were in the car, the three were immediately stunned by the luxurious interior.

The rear seat had vast space, luxurious décor, and the leather-wrapped seats were soft and comfortable.

Sitting in the back, one could roll around without feeling cramped, even Baby, who had ridden in and driven many luxury cars, couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.

The top-notch luxury car glided over the roads without a bump felt.

After driving for a little over an hour, the vehicle stopped at a very large estate.

The driver had already made contact with Lawrence on the road, and as soon as they got out of the car, Lawrence, dressed formally, came out to greet them.

“Haha, my dear friend!

You look well!” Lawrence warmly embraced Yue Feng.

Yue Feng said, “Is this your estate?

It’s beautiful!

Allow me to introduce to you, this is my girlfriend, Baby, whom you’ve met before, and this gentleman here is my countryman friend from the United States, Zhang Lin!

We were in a hurry and didn’t bring any gifts; this is a small Chinese dessert made by Baby, hope you like it!”

“This is one of my many properties, welcome, all of you!

The other guys have already arrived, let’s go inside!”

The three followed Lawrence into the main house of the estate, and indeed, several people were already seated on the couch.

However, Zhang Lin was somewhat surprised to see his immediate boss, Old Michael also there.

After Lawrence introduced everyone, Yue Feng got a preliminary understanding of these people.

The tall elderly man with white skin was Old Michael, a standing director of the World Fishing Association, who was also Zhang Lin’s immediate boss for his part-time job.

The shorter, but rather chubby black man next to him was Johnson, who had helped secure their spots for this competition.

What surprised Yue Feng the most was an American white girl, approximately the same age as Yue Feng, with blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and leggy, quite pretty—at least an eight out of ten, just slightly less so than Baby.

Her name was Jenny, the youngest daughter of Lawrence, though it was unclear what the old man had in mind.

Soon, a servant brought up well-aerated wine.

Lawrence said with a smile, “This is wine produced at my vineyard in France.

Please, have a taste!”

Yue Feng knew nothing about wine tasting, but he understood that the reasons the rich pursued fine things must be quite distinct.

Following the example of the others, Yue Feng lifted his wine glass, gently swirled it, and took a shallow sip.

A very rich and intense aroma filled his nostrils, but the taste in his mouth wasn’t that great.

A peculiar taste that was neither sour nor astringent, hard to describe.

Seeing Yue Feng’s expression, Lawrence squinted and asked, “How does it feel?”

Yue Feng scratched his head and honestly replied, “The aroma is strong, but the taste is a bit peculiar!

It’s a unique experience that I can’t quite describe!

I don’t understand wine, so I might be wasting your fine drink!”

“Haha!

I love your honesty!

Maybe you need a bit of Sprite?

I hear that many people in your country drink it that way!” Lawrence joked.

Even if Yue Feng was unsophisticated, he wouldn’t go so far as to mix such top-quality wine with Sprite—doing that would be like shaming himself all the way to the United States!

Yue Feng shook his head: “No need!

To me, tasting fine wine is like fishing, it’s all about gaining different experiences through participation!

The process outweighs the outcome!”

Old Michael quite agreed with Yue Feng’s view.

“Hey, lucky friend from China!

I approved your applications for several world records.

I must admit, achieving records in three categories in such a short time is rare, and at first, I thought it was luck!

But after seeing your casting demonstration in Joe Smith’s store, I realized I was wrong!”

Although it was Old Michael’s first meeting with Yue Feng, the conversation felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

Yue Feng: “Just a little trick, nothing worth mentioning!

In fact, the technical aspect of American-style fishing is far less intricate than Taiwan Fishing from mainland China!

If you get the chance, everyone is welcome to visit China; I can show you our local fishing methods and techniques!”

“Taiwan Fishing?

What kind of method is that?” Jenny also chimed in curiously.

Yue Feng briefly explained, “It uses sophisticated upright floats, with different weights and bait conditions for precise and rapid fishing!

On the right venue, a well-trained Angler can catch over 400 crucian carp in one hour!”

Hearing this number, the Americans were shocked.

The United States is rich in water and fishery resources.

Virtually any river or lake contains an inexhaustible supply of fish, but the figure of four hundred fish an hour was frighteningly impressive.

“Maybe I’ll have a chance to learn about the fishing method you mentioned!

I’m even more curious about how you managed what you did in the video at today’s forum!” Lawrence continued to inquire.

Yue Feng spread his hands: “Just a feeling!

Actually, since I returned from Palau, I spent some time systematically practicing lure casting.”

The simplicity of the explanation, “just a feeling,” left Lawrence at a loss for words; it wasn’t something that could be easily articulated.

The conversation that followed revolved around fishing.

Yue Feng didn’t mind and answered all questions.

He was so engaged in the discussion that he even picked up a rod and demonstrated to everyone on the spot.

By the end of the socializing, both the host and guests were pleased, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

By midafternoon, after wine tasting and casual chats, dusk had unknowingly set in.

In the evening, Lawrence prepared a lavish dinner.

Everyone had a great time until past nine o’clock, after which he drove Yue Feng and the others back to their accommodations.

Throughout the gathering, the kid had behaved quite well, acting appropriately and occasionally assisting Yue Feng with translating a few complex sentences into English.

However, once they returned to their accommodations, the young girl’s expression fell.

Seeing this, Yue Feng’s heart sank.

Damn it, something’s gone wrong!
