The clothes were drenched, and Yang Fan was feeling uncomfortable in them. So, he decided it was time to call it a day.
Besides, having already caught such a massive Dragon Grouper, there was no space left in the boat's hold. It was about time to head back and sell the fish.
With that in mind, Yang Fan asked Qin Yuxue, "Old classmate, how about we wrap up the fishing for today and head back?"
Looking at Yang Fan's wet clothes, Qin Yuxue immediately nodded, her concern evident. "Mm-hmm, let's hurry back. You're soaked, and you need to change before you catch a cold."
She then glanced at the large, motionless Dragon Grouper on the deck, and curiously asked, "Yang Fan, some of the viewers in my livestream said this big fish could be worth 200,000 to 300,000? Is that true?"
"It should be close. Wild Dragon Groupers are indeed quite expensive, and this big one is a rare find. If I sell it to a high-end seafood restaurant, it could easily fetch 200,000 to 300,000," Yang Fan nodded.
"Wow, so you're telling me you've made hundreds of thousands from just catching one fish?"
Hearing Yang Fan's confirmation, Qin Yuxue blinked in surprise. "Now I get it. No wonder you quit your job and came back home to fish. It's so lucrative!"
"No, it's just luck. Usually, you won't catch such a big grouper near the shore, so today's definitely a case of incredible luck," Yang Fan laughed and shook his head.
"Luck is also part of skill," Qin Yuxue smiled, slightly amused.
Then, as if an idea suddenly occurred to her, she tilted her head, looked at Yang Fan with a playful smile, and said, "By the way, Yang Fan, you know the saying, 'Everyone gets a share of the spoils'? Since we're fishing together, shouldn't I get a cut of the money when you sell this big fish?"
"Haha, no problem! When I sell it, I'll give you half," Yang Fan grinned in response.
"Really? You're that generous?" Qin Yuxue blinked, clearly intrigued.
"Of course," Yang Fan nodded seriously.
"Hehe, well then forget it. I'll just be happy that you're offering, but since you caught the fish, I can't really take any money," she stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Haha, I really wanted to give you half, but since you don't want it, I guess that's fine. Anyway, you're a little rich lady, you don't need it," Yang Fan chuckled.
He could tell Qin Yuxue was joking.
In fact, Qin Yuxue was a bona fide rich girl.
First, she was an internet celebrity, making millions every year just from shooting videos and accepting sponsorships. On top of that, her family was incredibly wealthy—her father was the owner of a listed company in Shanghai, with a net worth over a billion, and her mother was a senior executive at a state-owned enterprise, earning a seven-figure salary.
Qin Yuxue had basically grown up with a golden spoon in her mouth, and with her ability to make money now, she was a textbook example of a "super rich girl."
To her, the value of a fish worth a few hundred thousand was probably nothing to be concerned about.
Furthermore, with Qin Yuxue's personality, even if she weren't rich, she probably wouldn't want to take any of the money from Yang Fan.
She was just teasing him.
After a few playful remarks, Yang Fan started the engine and headed back.
On the way, he naturally sent a message to Shen Yafei, informing her of the big Dragon Grouper he had caught and asking if she wanted to buy it. Shen Yafei, upon receiving the message, quickly replied that she was interested.
Upon learning that Yang Fan had caught another valuable Dragon Grouper worth hundreds of thousands, Shen Yafei was both surprised and delighted. She was now completely convinced that Yang Fan's ability to catch top-quality seafood wasn't just luck!
In Shen Yafei's eyes, Yang Fan had a special ability for fishing, and that made him an extremely valuable customer. With him as a supplier, she was confident her seafood restaurant would never run out of premium seafood.
Of course, while Shen Yafei had guessed that Yang Fan had some unique fishing skill, what she didn't know was that today's catch was purely down to luck.
After confirming everything with Shen Yafei, Yang Fan headed back to the village.
He wasn't going to the city's seafood exchange pier because he had already told Shen Yafei to send someone to pick up the fish at the Big Whale Village pier.
For Yang Fan, time was precious. He couldn't spend it running back and forth to the city just to sell seafood. It would be much easier for her to send someone to his village for transactions.
Since he had made it clear to Shen Yafei that this would be the new arrangement, she agreed without hesitation. In fact, she was more than willing to accommodate him.
…
When Yang Fan returned to the village pier, the sun was setting, casting a golden glow across the ocean. The surface of the water sparkled with sunlight, creating a breathtaking, picturesque scene.
Seeing the beautiful sunset, Qin Yuxue couldn't contain her excitement. She pulled out her phone and started snapping pictures, while her live-stream viewers were also eager to screenshot the stunning view as their new screen savers.
After anchoring the boat, they decided to stay aboard and enjoy the scenery, since they were waiting for Shen Yafei's people to pick up the Dragon Grouper.
During this time, some of the older fishermen from the village returned to the pier on their slightly worn-out iron fishing boats.
When they spotted the massive fish on Yang Fan's boat, their eyes widened in shock.
"Hey, Yang Fan, how did you get such a huge fish on your boat?"
"Yeah! This fish must weigh over 100 kg, right? How did you catch it?"
"My God! This fish is incredible! If I'm not mistaken, it's a Dragon Grouper, right? This thing's worth a fortune! How much do you think it'll sell for?"
The moment the news spread, the pier was buzzing with excitement.
A 100+ kg Dragon Grouper was an extremely rare sight at Big Whale Village, and everyone who heard about it rushed over to the pier to catch a glimpse.
