Based on the information Xiang Ye saw while passing by, that breakfast shop had indeed been hiring continuously, but the salary was not very high—only about six thousand yuan.
And renting here cost four thousand yuan a month. Besides that, after paying for water, electricity, gas, and internet fees, what would be left of the remaining two thousand?
Obviously, this was not a very wise choice. Of course, this was their private business and had nothing to do with Xiang Ye. After the two of them took the elevator down to the first floor, the woman got off to go to work at the breakfast shop, and naturally, Xiang Ye went to the underground garage to get his car.
After getting into the car, Xiang Ye realized that many things were still missing from it.
The protective films on the car had not been removed, and the seats did not have covers yet. Although the floor mats were ready, it still felt a bit empty.
But these were minor issues; he could find a shop later to get everything fixed.
For now, he just removed the films that needed to be peeled off, then put the contract, vehicle registration, and other documents inside the car. Afterwards, Xiang Ye drove out of the garage.
He first went to that breakfast shop. Sure enough, he saw his new neighbor dressed in work clothes, working as the cashier. When Xiang Ye came in, she also looked at him.
"I'll take two baskets of dry sausage and meat buns to go."
"Okay, just these two baskets of dry sausage and meat buns? Anything else?"
"No, that's all. How much?" Xiang Ye shook his head and took out his phone to scan the payment code.
"Forget it today, I'll treat you. You helped me move yesterday; it's not too much to treat you to breakfast!" But just as Xiang Ye was about to scan, the woman blocked the payment code and smiled at him.
Looking at her determined expression, although Xiang Ye was silently thinking, You're almost short of food yourself, and you want to treat me? he didn't refuse her kindness.
Instead, he put his phone away. Then the girl scanned the code again, packed two baskets of buns, and after handing them to Xiang Ye, he left immediately.
"Do you know him?" When Xiang Ye left the breakfast shop, a woman came over and looked at the girl with some confusion.
"He's our neighbor, helped me move last night."
"Oh, I see… But girl, let me tell you, this guy is also a worker like us. You have good conditions—you can find someone better. I have a cousin who's pretty good!"
Obviously, the woman was not blind. Xiang Ye thought the woman was quite pretty, and naturally, people here thought so too. No wonder she was noticed just after starting her job.
But the girl waved her hand, indicating she was not considering dating for the time being. This made the woman a bit frustrated, thinking the chance was slim.
At this time, Xiang Ye had no idea what was happening in the breakfast shop because he had already gotten into the car and headed toward the highway entrance.
When he arrived there, Zhou Chen and his team had just arrived as well.
They were smoking under their cars. When they saw Xiang Ye getting out of his car, Zhou Chen's team was stunned.
Zhou Chen's team had two cars and seven people. Besides four anglers, there were three people responsible for live streaming whom Xiang Ye had seen yesterday.
Their shocked and confused looks were obvious.
"Brother Zhou, what do we do?" Xiang Ye asked, seeing their expressions.
"Uh, is this your car?" Zhou Chen extinguished his cigarette and cautiously approached to ask.
"Yes…" Xiang Ye replied.
"Uh, you're going fishing at the reservoir with this car?" Zhou Chen asked again after Xiang Ye confirmed.
"This car… can't go up there?" Hearing this, Xiang Ye was a little puzzled. He had heard before that many mountain reservoirs had very steep terrain and harsh environments, where city SUVs couldn't get through. Only true off-road vehicles could make it.
Looking at the Toyota Land Cruiser behind him, Xiang Ye hesitated. He wasn't sure whether this Benz SUV was a genuine off-roader or just a city-level vehicle.
But it shouldn't be that bad, right? The competition venue should be in a relatively accessible place, not that remote?
"It can definitely get up there. Don't mention going uphill—going up trees is no problem." Zhou Chen laughed upon hearing Xiang Ye's doubts.
Xiang Ye knew that "going up trees" was a joke. The original joke was that the Toyota 86 could only go up hills, but only a Mercedes could go up trees. As for what tree exactly, you can search it yourself...
"As long as it can go up, let's go!"
Hearing that it wasn't a problem, Xiang Ye smiled and prepared to get in the car.
Zhou Chen saw Xiang Ye didn't care about messing up his beloved car and didn't say anything. Although in his heart, he thought Xiang Ye was a spendthrift, he got in the car too, and they drove toward Panshan Reservoir.
Panshan Reservoir was built in the neighboring city. Although it was the neighboring city, it wasn't very far. This place was actually in the middle ground between the two cities, slightly leaning toward the other city.
After driving on the highway for about forty minutes, Xiang Ye and the others exited the highway.
The reason Panshan Reservoir got its name was because it was built at the end of a mountain road winding around a hill. It was said that originally this was just a road, but later there was a mudslide that collapsed the road, and since it couldn't be rebuilt, they directly built a reservoir there.
Of course, this explanation was unreliable. To build a reservoir, they would at least have to measure whether the ground could bear the weight of the water. Water is very heavy, after all.
So, this was just a folk tale. It had been decades, and no one really knew the truth.
But the road itself was not difficult to drive, which made Xiang Ye's earlier worries unnecessary.
Following Zhou Chen's two cars, Xiang Ye arrived at the end of the road and saw the huge reservoir in the distance. Although the dam was built quite high, the reservoir's area was not small—about one hundred fifty or sixty acres.
At the dam, dozens of cars were parked. Most were SUVs, and people were sitting together in groups, some eating, some chatting. Everyone wore fishing clothes and carried their gear. It was quite an interesting scene. In the distance, a tall platform made of red cloth had been set up.
The organizers would probably give speeches and do the lottery draw there soon.
While Xiang Ye was observing the scene, the people there were also watching him.
At first, when Xiang Ye's car arrived, they thought it was the organizers arriving.
But then they thought, even the organizers probably couldn't afford to drive such a car. When they saw Xiang Ye get out and casually take a team shirt from Zhou Chen's team, many people sneered.
"Great, another spoiled rich kid coming to play…"
