Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 61 Confession

"Thanks, Brother Zhou, I'll be going now!"

"Take care, let's go fishing sometime!"

"OK!"

After paying the final payment, Xiao Kai took the instruction manual given to him by Zhou Jianjun and drove away.

Along the way, Xiao Kai looked down at the surrounding vehicles and felt that his field of vision had become much wider.

Feeling the constant glances directed at him, Xiao Kai felt a little smug.

This feels amazing, indescribable.

It's like a man having a beloved toy, he can't put it down.

Driving at breakneck speed, Xiao Kai quickly returned to his home community, Xinghuo.

Just as he drove up to the gate, before Xiao Kai could even go inside, he heard someone calling his name.

Following the sound, Xiao Kai saw his mother, Ji Xiaolan, standing by the roadside with groceries in her arms, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Immediately, Xiao Kai's joyful expression froze.

...

"Tell me, what's the deal with that car? Don't tell me it was borrowed. Do you think I don't know how many friends you have? And who would lend you their new car?"

Upon returning to his parents' house, Xiao Kai hadn't even sat down when his mother asked him a question.

"Uh~"

Xiao Kai was about to say that he borrowed it when his mother's words stopped him. He looked embarrassed and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Uh...what? Tell me already!"

Seeing Xiao Kai's expression, Ji Xiaolan, as his mother, could tell at a glance that Xiao Kai was hiding something. Her face darkened, and she shouted sternly.

"Well, okay! I'll confess..."

Seeing that Ji Xiaolan was about to lose her temper, Xiao Kai knew that he could no longer hide it, so he simply confessed.

Anyway, he didn't intend to keep it a secret forever. He was going to tell it sooner or later, he just wasn't prepared beforehand, so now is the perfect time to say it.

"Ahem, Mom, that's my car!" Xiao Kai coughed lightly and said softly.

"Your car?"

When Xiao Kai said it was his car, Ji Xiaolan was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then asked him further.

"Where did you get the money? Did you win the lottery?"

Although she doesn't know much about cars, she can tell that this car isn't cheap.

Knowing Xiao Kai as she did, she knew he couldn't afford to buy a car, so winning the lottery seemed to be the only possible explanation.

As for illegally obtaining it, knowing her son as she does, she wouldn't dare do it even if she had a hundred lives.

"Mom, am I so useless in your eyes that I can't earn my own money to buy this?" Xiao Kai said, somewhat speechless.

All he could say at that moment was that prejudice in people's hearts was like a mountain!

"Tch, you. I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're just like your dad, all you know is to be content with the status quo. How are you supposed to make money! All those years of studying have been a waste!" Ji Xiaolan said disdainfully.

"Uh, okay!"

Seeing that his mother still couldn't resist teasing him while also bringing up his father, Xiao Kai felt much better.

"Mom, you underestimate me. I've actually made money lately!"

As Xiao Kai spoke, he recounted everything that had happened to him during this period, but he didn't mention the aura incident, only describing it as a matter of good luck.

When Ji Xiaolan learned about Xiao Kai's experiences during this period, she was completely stunned.

"You mean, you bought that car with the money you earned from fishing?" Ji Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, you don't believe me? Ask Brother Peng! You know he wouldn't lie to you!"

In order to gain his mother's trust, Xiao Kai betrayed Xiao Peng once again!

"No, no, no, that's not necessary!"

Ji Xiaolan shook her head, Xiao Kai's words still echoing in her mind.

Fishing? Selling for money? Competition?

When did fishing become a way to earn so much money?

Isn't fishing expensive?

Then why can't other people earn it?

Ji Xiaolan felt a bit confused. It wasn't that she didn't believe Xiao Kai's words, but rather that what Xiao Kai said was too fantastical.

If anyone else had said those words, she would have just taken it as a joke.

Based on her understanding of her son, Xiao Kai had no reason to fabricate a lie to deceive her.

The only explanation is that Xiao Kai did indeed buy the car with the money he earned from fishing during this period.

Call ~

After a long while, Ji Xiaolan seemed to have come to a realization. She took a deep breath, and although she still found it hard to believe, she chose to believe Xiao Kai.

"Fine, even if you can make money, then buy a car if you want. You really should have a car, but why would you buy such a big one?" Ji Xiaolan asked again.

"Well, now that I can make money fishing, I want to take advantage of my good luck and try my luck in other places. This car was prepared for that!"

Xiao Kai briefly told his mother about his plan to go fishing after the New Year.

Perhaps because of the previous incident where Xiao Kai earned money by fishing to buy a car, Ji Xiaolan was not too surprised by Xiao Kai's plan to go fishing. She was just a little worried that going fishing might delay him from finding a girlfriend.

Faced with his mother's concern, Xiao Kai was annoyed, but he could only assure her that fishing would not interfere with his search for a girlfriend.

Only then did Ji Xiaolan let him go.

That evening, Xiao Kai's father, Xiao Qingjun, returned home from get off work and learned about Xiao Kai's situation. He immediately launched into another round of questioning.

Compared to his mother Ji Xiaolan, Xiao Qingjun knew much more about fishing, but after Xiao Kai presented him with a large number of photos, videos, and competition trophies, he quickly came to believe him.

Xiao Qingjun was very supportive of Xiao Kai's plan to go fishing, saying that a man's ambition should be to travel far and wide, and it's good to go out and explore.

Thus, the matter of Xiao Kai making money through fishing and going fishing after the New Year has finally come to a conclusion.

.....

After having dinner with his parents at home, Xiao Kai returned to his own house at 10 p.m.

Lying in bed, Xiao Kai recalled his experiences over the past few days and felt somewhat dazed.

Before I knew it, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day, the first thing Xiao Kai did after getting up was to take out his phone and check the videos he had posted recently, something he did every day.

After he finished editing the video of his recent competition, he posted it using a new account he created on Douyin.

He originally thought these videos would make him a minor celebrity.

However, nearly half a month has passed, and to his disappointment, the video has not been as popular as he had imagined.

Of course, it's not that no one watched it, it's just that it was rather lackluster.

Half a month has passed, and the most liked video only has a little over two thousand likes. Xiao Kai only has a few hundred followers so far.

This made Xiao Kai wonder if he had made a mistake somewhere.

After all, among the fishing bloggers he watched, many of their videos were not as good as his, but why did those people get thousands or tens of thousands of likes and comments so easily?

The number of people following them has reached tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more.

He doesn't expect to gain thousands or tens of thousands of followers with just a few videos, but it shouldn't be like this.

Ultimately, Xiao Kai could only attribute it to the fact that these videos were released too soon, and he didn't have a fan base, so they needed time to gain traction.

As he expected, the number of views and likes on these videos increased over the past two weeks, albeit at a slow pace.

Looking at the data, which was still similar to yesterday's, Xiao Kai felt a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh to himself that he really didn't have any talent in this area.

After thinking it over, Xiao Kai decided to find another place to go fishing today, and at the same time test the performance of his new car in various aspects.

Without further ado, Xiao Kai quickly washed up, grabbed his fishing gear, and went downstairs.

However, he was stunned when he stepped out of the building. He saw that snowflakes were falling from the sky.

Wow, it's snowing!
