Chapter 313 - 163: The Sea Fishing Dinged

Chapter 313: Chapter 163: The Sea Fishing Dinged

But that was only good for fishing in his own pond. Trying to fish elsewhere could easily get his rod confiscated.

And he’d have to pay a small fine.

He searched for some sea fishing videos on TikTok and did a bit of last-minute cramming.

While he didn’t expect to catch much, he at least didn’t want to come back empty-handed.

He did have some pride, after all.

After watching a few instructional videos, he... fell asleep.

Yeah, for some reason, he found watching that stuff rather sleep-inducing.

Just like watching those wilderness-building videos.

Perhaps he just wasn’t that interested in fishing.

「The next morning.」

After his usual morning workout, he ate some breakfast.

He then went to the climate-controlled wine cabinet in his basement and took out the bottle of ’88 Romanée-Conti that Boss Yang had given him—worth 158,000.

After placing it in a special case, he drove toward the location Tang Tianyu had sent him.

The location Tang Tianyu had sent was a yacht marina.

Apparently, it was the private yacht of one of Tang Tianyu’s friends, so they didn’t need to rent one from a company.

A few dozen minutes later, he arrived at the marina.

In the parking lot, he saw Tang Tianyu’s big Rolls-Royce and knew he had already arrived.

He parked his car, grabbed the wine from the passenger seat, and headed for the docks.

From a distance, he could see many yachts of various sizes docked at the marina.

Some of the smaller boats could only fit two or three people and didn’t even have an awning.

Meanwhile, docked on the other side was a uniform lineup of massive, luxurious yachts.

The smallest were two decks high, with some reaching three.

The yachts also varied in length.

Once he reached the docks, Chen Mo gave Tang Tianyu a call.

"Hello? Chen Mo, I see you! Over here."

As soon as the call connected, Tang Tianyu walked out onto the deck and waved at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw Tang Tianyu appear on the deck of a massive, three-story luxury yacht with an incredibly long hull.

’Damn,’ he thought. ’I figured that with Tang Tianyu’s wealth, his friends would be formidable... after all, the guy has a private yacht.’

’But seeing this yacht in person... I have to admit, this is a whole other level of loaded.’

’Yachts like this are expensive to buy, but even more expensive to maintain.’

’Unless you’re seriously wealthy, you can’t possibly afford to keep a luxury yacht like this.’

He hung up and walked toward the yacht.

"Chen Mo’s here. We’re just waiting on one more friend and then we can set off."

Just as he boarded the yacht, he saw Tang Tianyu coming down to greet him, dressed in casual clothes.

"OK."

Chen Mo certainly didn’t mind waiting. In fact, it meant he wouldn’t be the last one to arrive, saving him from any awkwardness.

"Everyone, over here! This is Mr. Chen, Chen Mo. He’s a friend of mine. You have to take good care of him today, got it?"

Tang Tianyu shouted with a wave toward the back of the yacht.

Then Chen Mo watched as several beautiful women in revealing, sexy outfits walked over.

Although it looked like they’d had a bit of Hex-Tech done to their faces and bodies, you could tell they had good bone structure underneath.

They were probably cute to begin with, but after some "technology" and styling, they could now be considered true beauties.

"These are a few artists and minor influencers from my company. They all came along voluntarily, hoping to network for some resources."

"Just have fun with whichever one you like. If any of them give you attitude, just let me know."

Tang Tianyu whispered this brief introduction in his ear, giving him a knowing look.

Hearing this, Chen Mo shot him a surprised look.

’Damn,’ Chen Mo thought. ’Looks like Tang Tianyu throws these kinds of ’impact’ parties at sea all the time.’

’But since he invited me to this ’impact,’ I guess it’s fine.’

Judging by the smiles on the faces of these artists and influencers, it didn’t seem like they were forced to be here.

It was just as Tang Tianyu said: they wanted to hang with the big shots, score some resources, and climb the ladder.

This sort of thing was all too common in the entertainment and influencer worlds. Chen Mo had heard stories, but this was the first time he’d seen it firsthand.

After all, he’d never been qualified to attend an "impact" of this caliber before.

"So, what about you? Which one do you like?"

Chen Mo first asked Tang Tianyu which one he liked.

’He brought these women, after all. I can’t just pick the one he wants.’

’How rude would that be?’

"I don’t have a favorite. The only one I like is my wife."

Tang Tianyu said, his expression turning stern and righteous.

Hearing this, Chen Mo immediately understood and shot him a knowing glance.

’So he’s henpecked.’

Chen Mo guessed his wife’s family must be seriously powerful, which was why he didn’t dare mess around.

Before long, the last guest arrived.

Once he was aboard, the luxury yacht’s engines roared to life, and it began to pull away from the marina.

Onboard, pretty much everyone already knew each other, making Chen Mo the only newcomer.

So Tang Tianyu took a moment to introduce Chen Mo to the group.

Then, Tang Tianyu introduced everyone else to Chen Mo.

Not counting the artists and influencers, there were four men on the fishing trip, including Chen Mo.

Besides Chen Mo and Tang Tianyu, there was the owner of the yacht, who ran a gaming company.

The last one was a senior executive at a video platform.

Once they were out at sea, the men began to pick the artist or influencer who caught their eye.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, wasn’t particularly interested. ’Who knows how many guys have already ’recharged’ them,’ he thought.

’They were fine for pouring his wine or feeding him some fruit.’

’But as for any ’deeper contact,’ he had no interest.’

So after the other two men had made their choices, he casually picked a female artist who seemed to have slightly less "technology" on her.

The four men, Chen Mo included, sat on the sofas inside the yacht’s cabin, each with a beautiful woman by his side.

The bottle of wine Chen Mo had brought was opened, and one of the influencers poured a glass for each of them.

The men shared a drink, then cracked a few dirty jokes. The women giggled shyly, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

"Old Zhang, this is my boy. That intern on the show? She’s his girlfriend."
