Chapter 234 A Fishing Rod of Poor Quality
Chapter 234 A Fishing Rod of Poor Quality
One o'clock in the morning.
Night had fallen in Nanjing, and traffic on the streets was sparse.
A discreet van was parked in the underground parking garage of a high-end private hospital.
The car door opened, and Liu Shishi and Tang Yan, wearing masks and baseball caps, stepped out looking nervous.
Both of them walked with a somewhat awkward gait, especially Tang Yan, who needed to hold onto Liu Shishi's arm slightly to walk steadily.
"Phew... I finally made it."
Stepping into the hospital elevator, Tang Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Recalling the night that had just passed, the two of them still felt their hearts pounding!
Because of the fish he lost during the day at the club, Li Feng was naturally very angry and didn't calm down until well past midnight!
If Li Feng hadn't never stayed out overnight in Jinling, their long-planned scheme would have been ruined!
"The boss was really scary tonight..." Liu Shishi patted her chest, still shaken. "But thankfully, I got it."
"It was worth it! All the suffering was worth it!" Tang Yan hugged the refrigerator tightly.
"I timed it precisely! It's less than three hours at most! The activity level is absolutely fine!"
The elevator doors opened on the floor where the reproductive medicine center was located.
The chief physician, who had been bribed with a large sum of money, had been waiting in the laboratory for a long time.
Upon seeing the two enter, the doctor skillfully took the refrigerated box and began the extraction and testing process.
More than half an hour later, the doctor took off his mask and came out with a test report in his hand.
"Don't worry, ladies, the sample quality is very high and the activity is excellent."
The doctor smiled and reassured them, "The items have been refrigerated and preserved. You two should go back and take good care of your health. After a comprehensive physical evaluation in half a month, we can start the IVF cycle and embryo transfer at any time."
Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan finally felt relieved!
……
As soon as it was light, the online public opinion field was greeted with an unprecedented bombshell!
Haofeng's Weibo splash screen and the top three trending topics were all dominated by one person and one company!
#A Deep Dive into Wang Shih's Rise to Wealth#
#He built his fortune on his father-in-law's connections, then abandoned his wife who had shared his hardships#
#Unveiling Ms. Tian's Rise to Power: Independent Woman or Gold Digger?#
A deluge of smear articles and long images and texts swept across the entire internet like snowflakes!
How Wang Shi made his fortune by reselling corn using his former father-in-law's permit, and how he used his connections within the system to acquire his first piece of land—all of this has been thoroughly exposed!
Even the dramatic details of how Ms. Tian "bumped into" Wang Shi at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and how she became his mistress were described in detail with pictures and text. The article also included some shocking photos of Ms. Tian when she was an extra in a film crew in her early years!
Netizens are thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
"Holy crap! No wonder Wan Ke could grow so big, so that's the secret! Isn't this the real-life version of Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife)?!"
"I'm dying of laughter! That Ms. Tian was just boasting on her blog a couple of days ago about being a modern, independent woman, and it turns out she's a scheming bitch who climbed the social ladder by sleeping with old men? The contrast is disgusting!"
"This revelation is incredible! It even includes details of Wan Ke's early internal share transfers? This isn't something a regular paparazzi could get; it's clear someone is determined to destroy Wan Ke and Wang Shi!"
This sudden bombshell left both the financial and capital markets completely bewildered.
If you didn't know better, you'd think some real estate developer or a Wall Street short-selling firm was preparing to launch some kind of earth-shattering attack on Wan Ke!
however.
Amidst this screen full of trending negative news, there was a strange entry that left everyone completely baffled.
Ranked tenth on the trending searches:
#Zodiac Obsidian X Fishing Rod - Poor Quality#
Clicking on this trending topic reveals a flood of complaints about how this high-end custom fishing rod, priced at 28 yuan, suddenly broke during use, accompanied by a high-definition photo of the rod broken in two by a lake.
Netizens were left completely baffled:
"Wait, what's going on with today's trending topics? First they were talking about real estate tycoons, and then suddenly this post criticizing fishing rods popped up? Did Haofeng's programmer accidentally put the wrong trending topic?"
……
at the same time.
Yanjing, Wanda headquarters.
Wang, the richest man in China, was sitting at his desk, looking at a post on his phone from Li Feng, who never posts on WeChat Moments, a post that was unusually made for him.
The photo shows a huge wild blackfish, weighing at least 20 to 30 kilograms!
Below this post is a comment that was posted recently.
Jack Ma: [Brother Li, your skills are impressive! You managed to reel in such a big fish. How about we go fishing together sometime?]
Li Feng replied: [Mr. Ma, you're too kind. It's purely due to the good feng shui of this lake. I'll be waiting for you anytime, Mr. Ma.]
Watching the interaction between these two internet giants, Wang Jianlin's heart was no longer at peace.
In the business world, nothing is ever a coincidence!
Li Feng has kept such a low profile in recent years that he doesn't even accept public interviews, yet today he posted a picture of himself fishing on his WeChat Moments? And Jack Ma was the first to comment and interact with him?
This sends a strong signal: these two big shots have recently become obsessed with fishing, and this may be the new circle they'll be communicating with in private!
"Wonderful..."
Wang, the richest man, stroked his chin and immediately commented: "Count me in! I'll bring a couple of bottles of good wine to visit Brother Li sometime!"
After posting the comment, Wang, the richest man, pressed the intercom on his desk and yelled at Wang, the young master who was playing games in the next office.
"Dad, what's wrong? I'm playing a game right now!" Xiao Wang pushed the door open and came in, sounding a little impatient.
"Play, play, play! All you do is play your crappy game all day!"
Wang, the richest man in Beijing, cursed his son in exasperation, then pointed at him and ordered, "Put down all those frivolous things you're doing right now! Starting tomorrow, you're going fishing with me at a club in the outskirts of Beijing!"
"fishing?!"
Young Master Wang looked disgusted: "Dad, are you alright? That's something only retired old men like you do. Me, a young man in my twenties, going to the lake to feed mosquitoes? How boring!"
"You don't know anything!"
Wang, the richest man in China, rebuked sharply, "Do you think I went there to fish?! I went there to fish for people!"
"Li Feng and Jack Ma are both doing this now! Fishing isn't important, what's important is who you fish with! Being able to get into their circle and chat with them by the lake is an opportunity that many people would kill for! It's a million times more useful than that crappy live-streaming platform you're running!"
After being yelled at by his father, young Mr. Wang finally realized what was happening.
Although he still felt bored, he could only grit his teeth and accept it when he thought about the chance to win Li Feng's favor.
"Alright, alright, I'll practice with you."
Helpless, Mr. Wang pulled out his phone. "Since we're going, we should at least buy some decent equipment, right? Dad, you know your stuff, what brand of fishing rod is good?"
"Buy something better."
Wang, the richest man, thought for a moment. He had heard of some top brands in the circle of the wealthy. "How about the Zodiac Obsidian X series? I heard it costs more than 200,000 yuan a rod. It is considered the top-of-the-line custom carbon rod on the market. Get me two sets."
While searching on his phone, Mr. Wang pursed his lips and said, "Zodiac Obsidian X? Dad, are you sure this brand is good?"
"Of course I'm sure, what's wrong?"
"No, Dad..."
Mr. Wang handed his phone screen to Mr. Wang, pointing to the trending topic about fishing rods on Weibo, and said with a strange look:
"Look at today's trending topics on Weibo. An insider revealed that the Obsidian X fishing rod is of incredibly poor quality! Someone bought it for over 200,000 yuan, and it broke in two while reeling in a fish! People online are all calling them unscrupulous merchants who prey on rich people!"
Wang, the richest man, paused for a moment, took the phone, and glanced at the high-definition photo of the broken rod.
"Hiss—it really is!"
Wang, the richest man, frowned and sighed, "These unscrupulous businessmen these days have no bottom line at all. A club worth over 200,000 yuan actually broke? If it broke in front of Li Feng and his gang one day, where would I put my face?!"
"Never mind, never mind!"
"Don't buy this lousy brand! Go and find out more about a sturdy and durable brand!"
