“If you’re afraid, why are you still here?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

With that, Ye Chen lifted the keepnet in front of him.

In the next second, the water snake in the keepnet started to writhe.

“Ah!” Liao Xuexue exclaimed as her face turned pale. She subconsciously wanted to distance herself from the keepnet.

“Well, it seems that you’re really afraid.” Ye Chen quickly put the keepnet into the water.

Liao Xuexue mumbled as she sat on the folding stool, trembling, after the snake disappeared from her sight, “I’m here to work. Since my grandfather has accepted your money, I have no choice but to assist you all the way. I can’t just leave halfway through, right?”

“Your grandfather took my money?” Ye Chen was confused.

“Yup.” Liao Xuexue raised her head and looked at Ye Chen. She blinked her watery eyes and asked, “Didn’t you ask my grandfather to find you a fishing assistant? 200 a day, and 7 days in total.”

As Liao Xuexue said that, she suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth.

Her grandfather had reminded her before that Ye Chen valued his reputation and didn’t like any mention of the money.

Just as Liao Xuexue was worried that Ye Chen would be angry, she suddenly realized that

Ye Chen had burst out laughing.

While laughing, Ye Chen said, “Hahaha, f*ck! Mr. Liao, you’re so mean. You even lied to your own granddaughter!”

After hearing Liao Xuexue’s words, Ye Chen finally came to a complete realization.

It was probably because Mr. Liao was too embarrassed to tell his granddaughter that he had lost the bet.

Therefore, he decided to pay out of his own pocket and lied to his granddaughter that it was a fishing assistant job paying 200 a day.

With a flash of inspiration, Ye Chen suddenly had a bad idea.

He moved closer to Liao Xuexue and said to her with a mysterious look, “You did well just now, so I’m going to give you a raise. 2,000 a day. I’ll give the money to your grandfather in a while.”

At that moment, Liao Xuexue’s expression suddenly became guarded.

Ye Chen noticed Liao Xuexue’s expression and quickly explained, “Think about it. You were almost scared into the water by that snake just now. It’s not an easy job. Besides, you should know that I’m an expert at fishing. I don’t lack money at all. You’ve also seen my live stream account. I have millions of fans. You deserve the raise. If you feel guilty, then just work harder.”

With that, Ye Chen pretentiously took out his phone and fiddled with it a few times before saying, “All right, you don’t have to say anymore. I’ve already transferred the rest of the money to your grandfather. You can just ask him for it later.”

However, Liao Xuexue shook her head. “2,000 is too much.”

Ye Chen glared at her and pretended to be angry. “What are you saying? Are you looking down on me? I’m a fishing pro. 2,000 is peanuts to me! All right, let’s drop the topic. I’ve already transferred the money. You can ask your grandfather for it later.”

Liao Xuexue shook her head again. “Nah… I don’t lack the money, so just let my grandpa have the money.”

When Ye Chen heard that, he could not help but feel a little anxious. “How can we do that?”

Then, he leaned forward and whispered into Liao Xuexue’s ear, “Have you ever heard of the saying that men turn bad when they have money? Mr. Liao is the same. Think about it. Doesn’t your grandfather usually give his money to your grandmother? Now that he has an extra 14,000, what if he finds a mistress? Then wouldn’t I feel bad for the rest of my life?”

After listening to Ye Chen’s persuasion, the girl thought about it seriously for a long time before finally nodding slowly. “Yes, I think you’re right. Sure, I’ll ask my grandfather for it in a while. Don’t worry. I’ll work harder. Thank you, Mr. Ye.”

Ye Chen held back his laughter and waved his hand. “All right, no need to thank me. You can go and ask your grandfather for it now. You don’t have to make a bait container for now. Come back when you’re done. I have a premonition that a big fish is coming!”

Liao Xuexue nodded and ran to Mr. Liao’s side.

At the same time, the audience in the live stream room laughed so hard that they were almost out of breath.

That was especially true for some of Ye Chen’s old fans, who knew him well.

For a moment, countless people were convulsing with laughter.

“Hahaha. Streamer, aren’t you being too mean? This is going to deal a huge blow to Mr. Liao.”

“Mr. Liao didn’t even buy that fishing rod that cost more than 2,000. How can he afford to take out 14,000?”

“Mr. Ye, this move of yours can be said to be a killer move. If Mr. Liao were to know about this, I’m sure his head would be filled with ‘f*ck you’s!”

“Hahaha, this is too funny. This streamer’s taking advantage of Mr. Liao’s lie.”

“Streamer, you’re essentially making others fork out money to get a young lady to work for you!”

“Mr. Ye, you’re too mean!”

…

In fact, Liao Xuexue was not as naturally stupid as she looked. On the contrary, she was very smart.

There were two main reasons why Ye Chen had managed to trick Liao Xuexue.

One reason was that Liao Xuexue had been frightened just now, and she could not think rationally at the moment.

Secondly, Liao Xuexue would never expect her grandfather would lie to her!

Therefore, without thinking, Liao Xuexue went directly to Mr. Liao’s side and said happily, “Grandpa, I think Mr. Ye is a good person. Not only did he save me just now, but he also said that my performance was not bad. He even raised my salary to 2,000 a day! He’s transferred the money to you. Since Grandma usually gives you pocket money, I think you can transfer the money to me.”

Mr. Liao was almost petrified when he heard that. 2,000 a day meant 14,000 for the entire week.

Mr. Liao had Ye Chen, that little rascal, whispering something to his granddaughter earlier.

In the beginning, Mr. Liao was satisfied with his granddaughter’s behavior.

After all, Mr. Liao had said before that she must not talk to that kid Ye Chen, and she heeded his advice.

However, not long after, his granddaughter started to whisper to Ye Chen.

Nevertheless, Mr. Liao did not dare to threaten Ye Chen at that time, since it was Liao Xuexue who first pounced into Ye Chen’s embrace.

Mr. Liao was also curious about what Ye Chen was whispering to his granddaughter then, but now, he finally understood.

His granddaughter must have let the cat out of the bag. That was why he had once again been played by that little brat, Ye Chen!

“F*ck!” Mr. Liao exclaimed internally.
