Chapter 11: Fishing Guys Always Have Beautiful Wives

"Say that again!"

Zhang Xian was bewildered, thinking he had misheard.

"Do you want a wife?"

Chu Yourong said again.

"No!"

Zhang Xian shook his head decisively, then shifted his gaze back to the river surface, silently grumbling to himself: This must be the latest version of a honey trap, otherwise this woman is just sick.

Chu Yourong was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected that she, a goddess of the otaku, would be rejected by a man.

Fishermen really aren't normal creatures!

Chu Yourong complained in her heart, but Zhang Xian's rejection had piqued her competitive spirit.

If she couldn't even win over a small-time fisherman, what kind of otaku goddess was she?

"Do you think you're not good enough for me?"

Chu Yourong took two steps forward and stood beside Zhang Xian.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xian was speechless; these women nowadays really have a high opinion of themselves.

Although he admitted the woman beside him had some looks, who wasn't a handsome, dashing young man with a face like polished jade!

"I know my beauty often puts pressure on men, but you don't have to feel inferior."

"I don't actually want to marry you; this is just a transaction."

Chu Yourong spoke again.

"A transaction?"

Zhang Xian turned his head and sized up Chu Yourong again. The other party had her hair in a high ponytail, wore a light green camisole on her upper body made of thin, breathable cotton fabric that outlined the full contours of her chest, paired with denim shorts on her lower body, revealing straight, fair legs, and was wearing white canvas shoes on her feet.

Her outfit was very simple and common in the hot summer, but because her figure was exceptionally outstanding and she had a youthful, "first love" face, she would garner a high rate of turning heads wherever she appeared.

But just as Zhang Xian had thought earlier, such a beautiful girl throwing herself at him likely had an ulterior motive.

A boy must protect himself well when out and about!

And now that the other party was actually taking the initiative to say this was a transaction, combined with the earlier question of "Do you want a wife?", Zhang Xian suddenly realized.

He had long heard of the existence of "fishing influencers"; there were many "goddesses" on TikTok who fished while wearing bikinis!

He didn't expect to run into one today, and a top-tier one at that!

"Ahem, actually, I'm not the kind of person you imagine."

"But seeing as you're out working in the rain, I've decided to support you."

"Uh, how much?"

With the help of his "Cheat Daddy," Zhang Xian now had a six-figure balance in his bank card, so helping out these "goddesses" occasionally wasn't impossible.

"How much what?"

Chu Yourong looked suspicious, but she immediately reacted: "Are you asking about the bride price?"

"Bride price?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his chin: "Is that what they call it now?"

Hmm, it seemed reasonable enough; pay the bride price, take the relationship further—the process was sound.

"Yeah, how much is the bride price?"

"I don't need a bride price!"

Chu Yourong replied.

"No bride price?"

"A freebie??"

Zhang Xian was shocked.

No, no, this is definitely a honey trap!

Once they got to a hotel, a few big guys would definitely break down the door. And that was the low-end method; a more ruthless one would be to have a few drinks, actually have relations, pretend to play a game during the act and scream for help, then secretly record it, and later "extort" him—if he didn't pay, they'd call the police.

If the woman had been drinking and there was a recording, in that situation, if you didn't pay to settle, you could only wait to go inside and "sew sewing machines"!

Zhang Xian had seen similar cases when scrolling through TikTok; he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

If he were bewitched by her beauty and followed her, he might end up falling into a pit.

Just as Zhang Xian was brainstorming, Chu Yourong spoke again: "What freebie!"

"Where is your mind at!"

"The transaction I'm talking about is a fake marriage, and I'll pay you!"

"Ah?"

Zhang Xian was bewildered: "A fake marriage? Why pick me?"

"Seeing you fish all day, I assume you don't have a proper job, so why not fake a marriage with me and earn a sum!"

"It's a rare opportunity, you know; not everyone has such good luck!"

Chu Yourong said with a smug look.

And Zhang Xian could see it now; this woman was truly narcissistic beyond the norm.

But the idea of a fake marriage sounded absurd.

Well, in reality, it wasn't very reliable either.

However, for Zhang Xian, preparing for marriage and pregnancy were great excuses to lie flat and not go to work!

It could also appease Old Zhang, who was planning to force him into the matchmaking market; all things considered, it wasn't without its benefits.

"How much can you pay?"

Zhang Xian felt this matter could be discussed.

"How about 500,000?"

Chu Yourong quoted a price.

"500,000?"

Zhang Xian was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to be a little rich girl, starting off with 500,000.

"Do we need to get a marriage certificate?"

"How long will it take?"

Zhang Xian asked again.

"Of course I don't want to get a certificate, otherwise I'd be a divorcee, but it's hard to say for now; if there's really no other way, it's possible we might get one."

"As for the time, if it's fast, one or two months; if it's slow, three to five months, but it definitely won't exceed half a year."

Chu Yourong didn't know how long the negotiations with the company would last, but Han Ziwei had just said it should be settled within half a year; entertainment companies were inherently profit-driven, and once a goddess of the otaku like Chu Yourong had news of marriage break out, her commercial value would be greatly discounted, perhaps even becoming a burden, which would make subsequent contract termination negotiations much smoother.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the entertainment company might fight Chu Yourong to the bitter end; in that case, they would really have to get a certificate to truly trigger the bug in the management contract.

"One million within two months, and an extra million for every additional month; if a certificate is required, the compensation doubles!"

Zhang Xian stated his terms directly.

"Fine, deal!"

To Zhang Xian's surprise, Chu Yourong actually agreed readily.

Whoa, she really is a rich girl!

I should have asked for more; sigh, poverty really did limit my imagination!

Zhang Xian felt some regret that he had quoted too low.

Although he was now someone assisted by a cheat-daddy, he only had a little over 100,000 in his bank account all told, and his mindset was still stuck in the previous stage; in his subconscious, one million was already a huge sum of money!

"Let's go, come with me to sign the agreement!"

Chu Yourong pointed to the coffee shop on the other side of the river.

"OK!"

"Wait for me to reel in!"

Zhang Xian began to happily reel in his line, even though he had been skunked again today.

But he had caught a "wife," so it could be considered a bountiful harvest.

"They're leaving just like that?"

"Is that his girlfriend?"

"Even though I can't see her face clearly, her figure is so hot!"

"Sure enough, all anglers have pretty wives!"

"Fishing in the rain, a pretty wife comes to find him to go home, damn, where can I find such a pretty and virtuous wife!"

"Brothers, I'm triggered! We were promised to watch the angler get skunked, but we ended up being fed dog food!"

"Anglers have wives, and I'm still single! Waaah..."
