After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.
Chapter 43: Answer correctly and get a prize
Seeing Xu Qingman's unwavering rejection, Han Mingsi felt as if her heart had plummeted to the bottom. She closed her eyes, but tears still silently streamed down her face.
He knew that Xu Qingman would definitely not agree, but he still wanted to try so that he could give up.
Thinking about her grandmother asking her mother to take her abroad to find her, Han Mingsi gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.
She thought the matter was over, but when she went to class in the afternoon, she was met with countless glares from her female classmates.
Han Mingsi is handsome, elegant, and gentle, and is the prince charming in the hearts of many female students at school.
His public confession to Xu Qingman had already offended many girls.
Now that she has directly rejected them, causing their Prince Charming to suffer unbearable pain, he has become the object of their resentment.
Xu Qingman was too lazy to pay attention to these idiots. She just wanted to be happy and didn't need to care what others thought.
Jingle Bell…
The phone rang in her bag. Since there were still a few minutes before class, Xu Qingman quickly pressed the answer button.
"Manman, do you know how much money you made from those fish?" Even though he wasn't beside her, Yu Jinchen's voice betrayed his excitement.
"How much, one million?" Xu Qingman asked, playing along with him.
"No, no, that's too little. Take a bold guess."
There seem to be five or six that weigh over 40 jin each. If they all sell well, they should be worth about 1.5 million.
Thinking this way, Xu Qingman asked about the price.
"Hahaha... Manman, you still haven't said enough. Do you know? There were a total of seven fish weighing over 40 jin (20 kg), and the largest one weighed over 80 jin (40 kg). Those fish sold for a total of 2.2 million."
Xu Qingman stood up excitedly and exclaimed in surprise, "My God, two million two hundred thousand?"
As soon as Xu Qingman uttered the phrase "two million two hundred thousand," it was overheard by the surrounding classmates. Although they didn't know what she meant, everyone was certain that "two million two hundred thousand" referred to money.
Xu Qingman hung up the phone and noticed many people in the classroom staring at her. Confused, she asked, "Yali, what's wrong with them all?"
"What else? What did you mean by the two million two hundred thousand you just mentioned? Did you break even on your last investment so quickly, and even make a profit of over two million?"
Lin Yali was also curious. Xiao Mengting's previous actions had made many people at school aware that she had invested over ten million yuan. But what kind of business could generate profits in just one month?
Xu Qingman laughed awkwardly, "Ah? Haha, no, it's nothing. My boyfriend and I went fishing this weekend, and we were so lucky to run into a school of wild yellow croakers, so..."
Zhao Lina asked incredulously, "So, Manman, you mean you made over two million just by catching a few fish? When did fish become so valuable?"
Xu Fang smiled and said, "Lina, you don't understand. If they are all large wild yellow croakers, then they are indeed worth the price. Sea fish are different from other fish; some varieties are even comparable to the price of gold."
"I still don't understand. What kind of foolish, rich person would spend millions just to buy a few fish to eat?" Zhao Lina still refused to believe it.
Fang Yu nodded, "It's true. Last year I saw someone sell a single large yellow croaker for nearly a million. And there are many valuable fish in this sea. Some fish, if you only catch one, that's enough for your whole life."
One student exclaimed enviously, "Wow, what kind of fish is that? I really want to go fishing too!"
Fang Yu shook his head. "A single bluefin tuna could fetch millions of dollars. But let's think about it. These fish aren't easy to catch; the equipment alone is prohibitively expensive."
As a result, many students couldn't pay attention in class. Millions of dollars—many people have never even seen one—yet some people used it to buy a fish to satisfy their cravings.
This realization is a huge blow to many people, who even think that after studying so hard, they will only earn a few thousand yuan a month at most after graduation.
If I work until I'm old, I might not even be able to afford a fish with all the money I've saved.
This incident not only affected the classmates but also caused Xu Qingman considerable trouble.
Whenever she runs into classmates she knows, they always ask her when she's going on her next deep-sea fishing trip and if she can bring them along.
If it were just a question, it would be fine. Xu Qingman only needed to explain that catching expensive fish depends on luck, not something you can just wish for.
Moreover, to catch this kind of fish, you basically have to go to the high seas. The equipment and boats needed for such a trip are quite difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
Of course, you can also pay to rent a fishing spot from a fishing boat. But who can guarantee that you'll catch any valuable fish? After all, the rental fee isn't cheap.
Most students who are willing to listen to advice would give up their idea after hearing Xu Qingman's words.
But some people just wouldn't believe it. If you won't take me, someone else will. They firmly believe that even without you, Butcher Zhang, they won't be eating hairy pigs.
So, when another weekend came to an end, Xu Qingman found two boys in her class staring at her with resentment.
Xu Qingman was completely bewildered. What happened now? She hadn't done anything wrong.
It was Lin Yali, who was well-informed, who went out for a walk and came back before she understood what had happened.
It turned out that the two classmates ignored Xu Qingman's advice and insisted that she was afraid they would also get rich, which was why she didn't take them out to sea.
This weekend, the two spent over a thousand yuan to rent two fishing spots and go out to sea. Not only did they not even get to sell the fish they caught for a hundred yuan, but they also broke the rented fishing rods due to their poor skills, losing several hundred yuan in compensation.
That's really unlucky, but who can she blame? She had already told them about the problems they would encounter, but they didn't listen.
But they just had to blame Xu Qingman. These past few days, they've been being sarcastic and sarcastic in the classroom, saying it's all because she didn't respect the students' learning situation, which caused them to lose everything.
Xu Qingman couldn't care less about these comments. They were all adults and had to be responsible for their own actions.
On Thursday evening, just as the two were about to enter their space to cultivate, Yu Jinchen said, "Baby, let's go beachcombing tomorrow? A local friend of mine said there will be a high tide tomorrow, with more than three hours of low tide, which will be a good time to have some fun."
“Okay, I want to go.” Xu Qingman’s mouth was faster than her brain; she agreed without even thinking.
After realizing what she meant, she asked, "You mean tomorrow? I have two classes tomorrow afternoon. Is it because of the evening humidity?"
"You got it right! There's a prize for getting it right, and I'll have to reward you handsomely."
Before she could react, her body was pulled into his strong embrace, their four red lips pressed tightly together, and all the unspoken words were swallowed into his passionate kiss.
As their breaths mingled, beautiful symphonic melodies filled the room.
