Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 560 - 322: Xiaobao’s Choice

"Hey! What are you standing around for? Get in the car!" Liu Zi gestured for the other to get in the car and said briskly.

"Oh, oh!" Xiaobao nodded, quickly dragging his suitcase and starting to load it into the car trunk.

Once Xiaobao got into the car, Liu Zi fastened his seatbelt.

"Let me interview you. You've been here for half a month, how does it feel?" Liu Zi asked with a grin.

Xiaobao curled his lips: "Don't even mention it. Only those who have been here would know! Where are we heading next?"

"Of course, we're going to the company! The boss is exceptionally waiting for you at the office today. I'm telling you, it's a big deal; the boss usually never hangs around the office!"

"Oh, oh!" Xiaobao nodded.

The two soon got into the car, then Liu Zi hit the gas pedal, and the car quickly started, leaving the bait factory gate in the blink of an eye.

On the road, Xiaobao and Liu Zi had a back-and-forth conversation, giving Xiaobao a basic understanding of Liu Zi's situation at the company.

The two were relatively young and had a lot in common. They chatted about everything from the company business to competitions outside, keeping the conversation going the entire way.

Before they knew it, the car pulled up downstairs at the company building. Liu Zi skillfully brought the car to a screeching halt, unfastened his seatbelt, and quickly opened the driver's door.

"We're here! Leave your stuff in the car, and I'll take you to the office!"

"Okay!"

Liu Zi led Xiaobao through the winding corridors of the office building, arriving quickly at the door of Zhang Yang's private office.

Xiaobao had been calm on the way over, but standing at the office door, he felt a surge of nervousness. The half-month test suddenly felt like it was meant to intimidate him, causing a noticeable change in his demeanor.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Liu Zi symbolically knocked on the door, and soon Zhang Yang's voice called from inside, "Come in!"

Liu Zi pushed the door open, casually and naturally pulled up a chair, and sat down.

"Bro, I brought the person back for you! Any other instructions?"

Liu Zi glanced around the office, his gaze landing on the fruit platter on the table, and without asking, he casually picked up a bunch of grapes and started eating.

This scene left Xiaobao a bit dumbfounded. Generally speaking, in an office setting, one would expect a bit of decorum, but Liu Zi's behavior was quite the opposite.

Walking into the office felt like walking into his own living room, relaxed and at ease.

Zhang Yang didn't mind Liu Zi's familiarity, saying, "The fruit platter from the admin side, not sure if it's washed, go rinse it before you eat!"

"No need, a little dirt won't hurt! These grapes are pretty sweet, here, try some!" Liu Zi said, stuffing them into his mouth and offering Zhang Yang a small bunch at the same time.

Zhang Yang waved his hand refusing, "Your task of picking up people is done; go do whatever you need to! Don't loiter in the office to slack off!

Your daily casting practice isn't done yet, right? Finish the grapes and go practice! I'll have a chat with Xiaobao!"

"Okay! You two chat, I'll be off. Call me if you need anything!" Liu Zi said, spitting grape seeds as he got up and quickly walked out.

Once Liu Zi left, only Xiaobao and Zhang Yang were left in the room.

Zhang Yang glanced at Xiaobao's sitting posture, and the corners of his mouth curled up instantly.

The guy was sitting with an upright posture, only half of his buttocks on the chair, and his back straight as a rod.

"Just relax, no need to be so tense! After half a month at the bait factory, what did you learn? Give me a summary report, will you?"

The boss was asking questions, so Xiaobao's brain was working fast, slowly saying, "Most of the time at the bait factory was spent working, especially the last two weeks, all on sprouting.

Besides learning some advanced frying techniques, it was more about tempering my mindset and learning that things should be done steadfastly!"

"Hmm, and then? Anything else?" Zhang Yang nodded, continuing to ask.

"And then... and then it's about not underestimating any job or task, practice makes perfect!"

"And then?"

"And then? That's it!"

Xiaobao shook his head, at a loss for what else to add.

"Working at the bait factory was quite tiring, wasn't it? Let me tell you a harsh truth: if you want to achieve anything in fishing, the effort required is even more exhausting than working at the bait factory! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Do you know Liu Zi's daily training routine? Not including specialized training, he has to cast three thousand times daily, plus various targeted practices!"

Hearing the number of three thousand casts, Xiaobao was obviously a bit surprised. He fishes too and knows what three thousand casts entail and how long it takes to complete the basic training volume without slacking.

Zhang Yang continued, "I know your uncle asked you to come to me to find a way for you to follow our company's team, develop slowly but surely!

But here, I want to emphasize one point: regardless of your position in the team, the process of progress and improvement is very long and painful.

Only if you persevere can you meet the requirements and be able to handle competitions with ease! Do you understand?"

"I understand! Boss!" Xiaobao nodded.

"Good, let's talk business now!

Do you want to follow Liu Zi's path in competitive fishing, or do you want to join the live streaming team?

Since you've passed the test, we can support you either way!"

"I... I want to compete and become a master in competitive fishing!" Xiaobao answered without hesitation.
