Chapter 668: Powerful Fishing Rod and New Company
“Ping ping…”
At the Chen family dinner, all members of the Chen family were present. As they drank and chatted, Chen Haige's face became a little flushed.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for helping our Chen family this time. If it weren't for you, I might never see Xingmeng and Haiyan again. This glass of wine is for you."
As he spoke, Chen Haige stood up and spoke to Lin Shi. Lin Shi also stood up with a wine glass in hand. Although he usually did not drink, it was not that he could not drink. After all, Chen Haige was his elder, and it was difficult for Lin Shi to refuse the wine he offered him. It would be okay to drink a little.
"It was just a fluke, you're welcome."
Lin Shi continued, then took a sip of the wine. The spicy taste made him frown slightly.
"Haha, little friend Lin Shi is too modest."
Chen Haige laughed and said, then waved his hand, and several people came in carrying several black boxes.
"Verbal thanks are all empty words. I have specially prepared a few gifts for you. I hope you like them."
"Open it."
Chen Haige spoke like a domineering president. The first thing that was opened was a long black box. Lin Shi was a little surprised by what was inside. It turned out to be an exquisitely decorated fishing rod.
Dragon Scale Fishing Rod (Powerful Fishing Rod): The best fishing rod that can be used to fish for Pokémon. It has a fine texture and a noble origin. It is said to increase the luck of the angler.
"I got this dragon scale fishing rod by accident. I've been with it for a few years and it's pretty useful. I heard from Xing Meng that you also like fishing, so I gave it to you."
Chen Haige stroked the fishing rod and handed it to Lin Shi, saying with a smile.
"This... a gentleman does not take away what others love. This and the fishing rod must be very important to you, Uncle Chen. I can't take them."
Lin Shi tried to decline, but to be honest, he looked at the fishing rod a few more times and found its unique shape quite suits his taste.
"Haha, take it. Don't be polite. I'm not the only one who needs a fishing rod."
Chen Haige stuffed the fishing rod into Lin Shi's hand without saying a word. Just when Lin Shi wanted to say something, Chen Xinghe on the side also started to persuade him.
"Brother Lin, just take it. My dad has a lot of good fishing rods, so this one won't make a difference."
Now that things have come to this, Lin Shi certainly didn't refuse anymore.
"Okay then, thank you Uncle Chen, I will cherish this fishing rod and try to catch more "big fish"!"
"Yeah." Chen Haige nodded with a smile, and at the same time signaled his men to open the remaining two boxes together.
"I don't know what you need right now, little friend Lin Shi, but seeing that you have a Gyarados with extraordinary talent, you should be able to use these things."
Then, without Chen Haige saying anything, Chen Xinghe took the initiative to take over the introduction and pointed to the first box.
"This box contains perfect-grade energy cubes specifically for Gyarados. These are much more precious than the ones I gave you before. I dare not say they are the best in the world, but they are definitely the best in Shenzhou."
Listening to Chen Xinghe's words, Lin Shi also looked towards the box. It was a blue and white crystal-like energy block that exuded a strange smell. It did not look like an ordinary item.
"From now on, the Chen family can fully provide the energy cubes your Gyarados needs. Don't worry, we will provide as many as you want."
Chen Xinghe said this generously, but for the Chen family, these things are indeed just the tip of a drop in the bucket.
"And in the other box is the high-quality tidal incense specially made by our Chen family. The unique environment created by using these incenses is very suitable for the cultivation of water-type Pokémon. It may provide some help for your Pokémon."
"hiss."
Looking at these things, Lin Shi took a deep breath. These things were not cheap. It seemed that Gyarados would have a very good life in the future. He was a little envious...
Lin Shi did not refuse these things. Compared to fishing rods, these things were actually beneficial to Gyarados, so he had no reason not to get them for it.
Seeing Lin Shi accept the things, Chen Haige nodded happily. At this time, he remembered something and spoke to Lin Shi after careful consideration.
"Besides that, I have something else I'd like to ask Little Friend Lin for help. Xing Meng suggested to me that she wanted to open a new company that specializes in developing secret ruins. I think it's very interesting."
"So I would like to invite Lin Xiaoyou to be the acting director of this company and manage the company together with Xingmeng. Of course, I know you still have things to do, so you don't have to worry about business issues. Just leave these matters to our Chen family."
After listening to Chen Haige's words, Lin Shi looked at Chen Xingmeng, who blinked at him. Lin Shi roughly understood what she meant. It should be because of the items in the Ocean Temple. Some of the things there are quite troublesome to deal with.
However, the company that Chen Haige mentioned was quite interesting. From what he said, it seemed that Lin Shi didn't need to spend any money or effort, and the Chen family had opened a company specifically for him.
As for the purpose, Lin Shi could roughly guess it. It was very simple, just to make friends with him.
Although it may sound a bit shameless, Lin Shi feels that the other party may benefit more from this matter than he does.
After thinking it over, Lin Shi decided to agree. After all, it was good to get free money, and he would have to explore secret places in the future. There would be some difficult things to deal with, which could be handed over to the company. Thinking of this, he nodded.
"Since Uncle Chen has said so, I will be very honored to accept the offer. Thank you Uncle Chen for giving me this opportunity."
Hearing Lin Shi's answer, Chen Haige smiled even more, and even seemed a little relieved.
"Okay, okay, that's good. We'll talk about this later. Let's have a drink and a meal first, haha..."
As the night deepened, the dinner was over and everyone left one after another. Naturally, Lin Shi was also arranged to stay at the Chen family. However, as it was the first time he drank so much alcohol, he felt a little dizzy. He stood on the balcony of the hall and felt better after enjoying the evening breeze.
"Lin Shi, what are you doing?"
Chen Xingmeng walked over and patted Lin Shi on the shoulder.
"It's the first time I drink so much alcohol, I'm a little uncomfortable."
Lin Shi's face turned a little red. He leaned against the balcony railing, unbuttoned his collar with his hands and said.
Looking at Lin Shi's appearance, Chen Xingmeng smiled, then reached out and took out a small box and placed it in front of Lin Shi with a playful tone.
"Here, this is a gift for you. Thank you for saving my life."
"Gift?" Chen Xingmeng's action made Lin Shi sober up a little.
"Didn't your dad send it?"
"He is him and I am me."
As she spoke, Chen Xingmeng slowly opened the box. Inside was a brooch with a unique shape. It didn't look gorgeous, but it was quite unique and in line with Lin Shi's aesthetic taste.
"I saw the brooch you were wearing. It was probably made just to hold that red bead, right? The design is terrible. Use this one. Just inlay that bead on it."
After taking the brooch, Lin Shi compared it with the one he was wearing. Apart from the volcanic stone, the difference was obvious.
"Thank you."
Lin Shi held the brooch in his hand and said, then he took out a box.
"It's a gift in return. I'll give this to you. It contains a bracelet, which is not very valuable."
"what?"
Chen Xingmeng was a little surprised. She took the box subconsciously and smiled at Lin Shi.
