Chapter 118 - Old Zhou’s Secret
Old Zhou seemed to be a regular at the lake as several other men greeted him when he came.
He sat down on a stone bench before he tapped the spot beside him, signaling Su Yang to sit down.
Su Yang sat down. He mimicked Old Zhou piecing the fishing rod together with the parts in the bag. After they were done with the fishing rod, Old Zhou took a small pail from his bag and poured some bait inside.
He loaded his rod with the bait before giving the pail to Su Yang, but he noticed that Su Yang had already cast the line into the water.
Old Zhou was speechless at first before he awkwardly chuckled. He put the pail of bait down and said, “I guess it works that way too. Fishing is all about the feeling after all.”
Su Yang chuckled along. Of course, he knew he needed bait to fish, but he was not interested in fishing and did not plan to fish, he just casually played along with Old Zhou.
Old Zhou was a lot more professional. First, he carefully looked at where the fishes usually gathered, and when he got the spot, he cast the line out and the baited hook accurately landed in his designated spot.
After that, he put his rod down and sat down on the stone bench.
“I’ve created an app to search for part-time jobs and I’m promoting it among the students. If this gets bigger, I’m afraid that the other lecturers or even the dean will have something to say. I wonder if you can help me to deal with them if that happens.”
Old Zhou did not say yes. Instead, he asked, “What kind of app is that?”
Su Yang showed Old Zhou the app and explained everything to him. He even told Old Zhou he was finding companies for internships to put in the app.
Maybe because his ability, the [Verbal Canon], was in play, Old Zhou nodded and said yes after the explanation.
“Of course! If someone has anything to say about it, I’ll deal with them. I’ve been at the university for over 10 years, so I’m sure I’m in a position to talk.”
Su Yang smiled, “Thank you, Mr. Zhou.”
…
Meanwhile, in a little restaurant near Su Yang’s neighborhood, Old Sixth Liu was having lunch with his two slim and fat men.
The fat gangster swallowed a mouthful of a beer and said to Old Sixth Liu, “Brother Six, what if, I mean IF, a big I and F, that my friend might have been cuckolded? What should I do?”
