Chapter 35: Everything Produced Is Money!

Chu Lin heard Liu Fa’s slightly anxious voice and frowned as he asked, “Master Liu, what’s wrong?”

Liu Fa hurried to explain, “President Chu, it’s the six fish in the breeding pond beside the courtyard—they’re biting each other. I don’t know what happened.”

Chu Lin immediately realized Liu Fa was talking about the six Neptune grouper.

Previously, Dr. Li had discovered that one of the female fish was about to lay eggs and had even helped him find five male fish to fertilize her.

Weren’t the fish fine before? Why are they suddenly fighting?

Could it be that the males are fighting out of jealousy?

“Chu Lin, is something the matter?” Li Qian asked gently.

“There’s an issue at the farm. I’ll go check it out and come find you tonight,” Chu Lin said, putting down his phone. As he explained, he picked out a white piece of clothing from the ten or so pure and alluring outfits and handed it to Li Qian.

“I’ll wear it and wait for you!” Li Qian took the clothing, fully understanding Chu Lin’s meaning.

So, after Chu Lin left, she stood in front of the mirror, holding that pure and alluring garment and trying it on.

Apparently, Chu Lin liked her dressed this way.

Thinking of this, she took out the other nine outfits and tried them one by one in front of the mirror.

Each piece made her think of the embarrassing scenes of Chu Lin riding atop her.

Soon, her cheeks felt hot, and she quickly put down those alluring garments, pressing her slightly chilled hand to her face.

Afterward, she looked at the things Chu Lin had bought for her.

Five sets of clothing worth forty-five thousand, and a Moon Goddess bag for thirty-five thousand.

Altogether, that was eighty thousand.

This was truly the first time she’d gone shopping and bought such expensive items.

The key was that Chu Lin bought them for her, which made her adore them even more.

She immediately wanted to share her joy with someone, so she picked up her phone and dialed Sister Qiu’s number. As soon as the call connected, she said, “Sister Qiu, I went shopping with Chu Lin today.”

Sister Qiu was just finishing a loan procedure for a client. Hearing her cousin’s words, she smiled, “So you’ve figured it out? But with someone like President Chu, a man like that, if you accompany him shopping, he’ll certainly spend money on a woman. Did he buy you anything?”

“Yes!” Li Qian said happily. “Four sets of Armani and one LV bag, altogether eighty thousand.”

“Wait, how much did you say? Was it eighty thousand or eight thousand?” Sister Qiu was stunned.

“Eighty thousand!” Li Qian repeated.

“He only just gave you fifty-two thousand…” Sister Qiu suddenly fell silent. Thinking of her own salary, she quietly hung up the phone.

A wave of regret washed over her. When she was younger and foolish, she missed out on a good brother who liked her.

Now…

Ah!

The mortgage was due again, the car loan too, and the child’s tutoring fees, and her cosmetics were almost used up.

She should just keep working hard in sales.

Li Qian saw her cousin hang up and, feeling very pleased, took photos of the five sets of clothing and the LV Moon Goddess bag and posted them on her social media: “If a man is willing to buy you things, he must really like you, right?”

After thinking it over, she felt the caption was too tacky, so she deleted it and changed it to: “Gifts from my boyfriend! + a shy emoji.”

Send.

After posting, she suddenly felt a bit guilty.

After all, Chu Lin already had a girlfriend.

Was she being vain?

Then another thought struck her: would Chu Lin be angry if he saw her post?

So conflicted!

Porsche 4S dealership.

Top saleswoman Zheng Yue was in high spirits, having just sold another Cayenne. She’d finished her paperwork and was about to take a break when another salesperson came over with her phone. “Sister Yue, the rich guy Li Qian is dating seems really extraordinary!”

“How so? Is he just handsome?” Zheng Yue asked, puzzled.

“No,” the other salesperson shook her head. “I just saw Li Qian’s post. That rich guy bought her over eighty thousand worth of Armani and an LV bag.”

“So generous?” Zheng Yue instinctively opened her social media and saw Li Qian’s post. The price in the photos stunned her.

Eighty thousand?

To buy a girl eighty thousand worth of things in one go—even a fool knows this isn’t just any rich kid.

Many so-called rich kids only have limited credit cards from their parents and hardly spend much.

But the key is, he’s not just rich—he’s handsome too.

That’s what makes people jealous.

“Why did it have to be Li Qian’s turn? If only I’d cut in line…” Zheng Yue sighed to herself.

They usually receive customers either by appointment or by taking turns.

It just happened to be Li Qian’s turn that day, so she got lucky.

For a moment, Zheng Yue looked at her completed sales and felt none of the satisfaction.

After working hard for a month, even as the top salesperson, it couldn’t compare to a single shopping trip.

…

Chu Lin quickly returned to the shrimp farm and went to the pond where the Neptune groupers were kept.

He found the abnormality: the obviously larger female fish was resisting the others’ approach, biting any that came near.

What was going on?

Chu Lin immediately thought of Dr. Li and hurried to find his number and call him.

When the call connected, Dr. Li’s enthusiastic voice rang out, “President Chu, I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon. Is there something I can help with?”

Chu Lin explained the situation with the Neptune groupers and asked, “Dr. Li, why is the fish acting this way?”

Hearing this, Dr. Li suddenly realized, “President Chu, this is my fault—I forgot to explain. The female is about to lay eggs.”

“So soon?” Chu Lin was surprised.

Dr. Li said quickly, “President Chu, it can happen even faster. With Neptune groupers, after fertilization and laying eggs, they hatch in just fourteen hours. The fish biting the others means she’s about to lay eggs. Since most fish aren’t very bright, they’ll eat the newly hatched fry, so you need to isolate the female.”

“Alright, understood.” Chu Lin hadn’t realized big fish could eat small fish so aggressively.

After hanging up, he grabbed the professional fishing net Chen Feng had left behind, and with some effort, he scooped out the female Neptune grouper and placed her in the breeding tank he’d moved from the seafood shop.

The tank was spacious, and inside was an Atlantis Blessing Stone, more than enough for the grouper to lay eggs.

According to Dr. Li, after the eggs are laid, they’ll hatch in fourteen hours. With the Neptune grouper’s egg output, he could have at least twenty thousand fry.

After raising them for a while, he could decide whether to keep growing them or sell them.

Thinking this over, Chu Lin took out his phone and sent Dr. Li a one-thousand yuan red envelope through WeChat.

No matter what, it was good news.

Inside Nana Fisheries Disease Prevention Center Hospital, after hanging up, Dr. Li didn’t give it much more thought since he’d only answered a question over the phone.

But when WeChat chimed and he saw Chu Lin’s one-thousand yuan red envelope, he was stunned.

Such an answer deserved a reward?

“President Chu is a generous man.” Dr. Li sent a complimentary message and quickly accepted the reward.

He had to admit, from President Chu, he felt the legendary sense of camaraderie.

After putting down his phone, Chu Lin kept an eye on the female grouper.

Dr. Li’s timing was precise—about two hours later, she began to lay eggs, clusters of them floating through the water in the breeding tank.

Seeing the eggs, Chu Lin’s eyes sparkled.

This was money being produced.
