The boss of Louis Industrial Company was baiting a hook as he said, "What are you afraid of?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing!"
Chen Fei picked up the fishing rod handed to him. Although he had never fished before, by observing the other person's techniques, it seemed manageable.
He flicked the rod open, threaded the line, and cast off with a swoosh—off you go!
Plunk!
The sound of the hook hitting the water echoed in the distance, rippling the shimmering surface.
Louis Landon reminded, "You forgot to put bait on!"
Chen Fei startled, remembered indeed that was the case. In his fluster, he had thrown the empty hook into the water, the sharp barb bare of any bait.
He hastily reeled the line back in, and just then, the tip of the rod dipped, a faint resistance transmitting through it.
Damn, are these fish dumb? Biting on an empty hook!
He quickly reeled in, and with a splash, water sprayed onto the dock's planks as a two-foot-long fish was hauled up.
"Uh!"
