After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 282: When Taigong fished, he wasn't catching fish.

"Although the fish here are not big, there are some varieties that taste quite good."

Sheng Hanyu said as he cast the line, then steadied the fishing rod and placed it on the ground.

Ye Sanqing noticed that this was different from the action of sea fishing, so he simply imitated it.

As Sheng Hanyu introduced the fish species, she watched the reeds swaying in the wind.

The environment is actually quite nice, but there's this one eyesore nearby...

Knowing he might not be pleasing anyone, Yin Junqi seized an opportunity to interject, "Teacher Sheng really knows a lot about fish."

After all, if he sits here and says nothing, he'll only be the one who feels awkward.

"Yes, I really know a lot about fish. What about you?"

Sheng Hanyu smiled and said, "I feel that Teacher Yin may be a step ahead of me. For example, she knows more about the story of Taigong fishing."

As everyone knows, when Taigong fished, he wasn't catching fish.

Yin Junqi was startled.

Let's say Sheng Hanyu is a smiling tiger. With that expression on his face, talking to him about "fishing like an old man" is just like saying, "I know what you're thinking, but don't even think about it."

But since he was already there, he decided to steel himself and say, "I just want to get along well with you two. Professor Sheng, you don't need to be so wary of me..."

Ye Sanqing then interjected, "Don't you think you're being a little deliberate?"

Yin Junqi was stunned when he heard this.

What does it mean to be a little deliberate?

In his view, relationships should be deliberately cultivated.

Otherwise, what are you going to do? Just sit at home every day and wait for fate to fall from the sky?

Given his family background... how could anyone possibly approach him? What else could he do but make a fuss?

For some reason, Yin Junqi seemed to have been broken down by Ye Sanqing's words.

He thought with some annoyance, "How could you rich people understand the suffering of the poor? The fact that I am sitting here talking to you is a result of my own deliberate efforts."

Otherwise, I wouldn't even know where I'd die now.

What's even more infuriating is that Ji Wan is on good terms with them! Who is Ji Wan? He's just a background actor.

In order to get closer to them, Yin Junqi carefully studied the previous variety show recordings and found that Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu did have a better attitude towards people who performed steadily, while Cheng Yanye and Gao Feibai were negative examples.

However, on the other hand, Cheng Yanye has not made any moves recently, but at least he seems to be fine. Ye Sanqing did not completely eliminate him despite all the mess he made.

Gao Feibai did indeed go in, and his father was also severely injured by Ye Sanqing before going in as well.

Yin Junqi didn't understand what was going on. He just instinctively thought that Cheng Yanye was probably from that class after all, and that Ye Sanqing, despite being known as the Iron-Blooded Judge, would ultimately show mercy to people of the same class.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Yin Junqi can't possibly reach Cheng Yanye's wealth overnight. He can only imitate similar types, such as Lin Qianren and Ji Wan.

If it weren't for the sheer difficulty of doing it, he would have fabricated a predicament similar to that of Deng Lingxuan or Yin Xiangming, and then begged Ye Sanqing for help.

However, although it cannot be faked, he does have real difficulties.

However... even Yin Junqi would hesitate because of this.

Flattery is just a facade; he is somewhat resistant to exposing his inner pain in order to get closer to the other person.

"I'm sorry." Thinking of this, Yin Junqi said, "I may not be very good at interpersonal relationships, but I have no ill intentions towards you two. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize."

Sheng Hanyu glanced at Ye Sanqing.

Ye Sanqing's eyes: You can just give your comments, do I have to say so much?

"Why didn't you just be this sincere earlier?" Sheng Hanyu sighed. He knew that Ye Sanqing was sometimes really too lazy to talk.

"Sincerity..."

Yin Junqi sighed, but didn't continue the conversation.

Saying anything more would seem unnatural, so let him go back and think about it some more. But the other party's attitude wasn't bad, which is a small step forward.

Soon, the fish started biting. Sheng Hanyu caught several silvery-white fish that looked like loaches.

"The silver loach from this salt lake tastes quite good. Although this water isn't a salt lake, it still has a higher salt content than freshwater. Therefore, the loach's flesh is similar to that of some sea fish."

Sheng Hanyu explained.

Ye Sanqing, on the other hand, caught a black fish that was a bit flat and looked like a small catfish.

"You actually managed to catch that?" Sheng Hanyu exclaimed in surprise.

Why is it that Ye Sanqing always manages to catch some unexpected fish?

Is there anything special about this fish?

“They’re usually active at night, but it’s broad daylight now…” Sheng Hanyu looked up at the sky. “There’s sunshine.”

"Isn't it daytime wherever you are?"

Ye Sanqing casually made a comment, but Sheng Hanyu had a rather... strange feeling when she heard it.

Although his WeChat name is "I am the Sun," it's just because his name has a lot of the character "sun" in it... He wanted to be more subtle, and then he thought this sentence was good...

"So……"

"It's edible and delicious, but it's deep-fried... Do you want me to make it when we get back?" Ye Sanqing didn't need to finish her sentence before Sheng Hanyu knew what she wanted to ask.

"You're going to cook? It's been a long time since I've had any."

Ye Sanqing suddenly perked up.

Although the budget here is ample and the nutritious meals taste pretty good, Sheng Hanyu's cooking... is like her personal chef!

We must catch more fish!

"I can do it. I'll just go back and use the kitchen."

Sheng Hanyu hadn't cooked for half a month and was feeling a bit itchy to cook.

"I'd like to eat something else. Should we invite some other people? Do you have time to prepare it?"

"That's fine too. We can ask around this afternoon and have a small get-together."

Sheng Hanyu considered it for a moment and said that if there were more people, there would be more dishes to make, so she would make them during her afternoon break, which would coincide with dinner. Lunch would still be a working meal.

Yin Junqi fished silently nearby, not uttering a sound. Only when he was leaving did he tentatively ask, "I also caught some fish. Could you please help me prepare them, Teacher Sheng?"

Ye Sanqing looked at Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu nodded, "Since you have fish, let's bring it along."

Yin Junqi thanked them and handed the fish over to them before leaving alone.

He could feel Ye Sanqing's probing gaze behind him, and he couldn't help but straighten his back.

"You feel……"

Sheng Hanyu only spoke to Ye Sanqing after watching him walk away.

"I don't think he has a major problem. Trying to climb the ladder in the entertainment industry isn't a serious crime. But given the situation at this level, how could something like that have happened in the last round?"

Ye Sanqing didn't sense any malice from Yin Junqi. He was like some low-ranking officials, whose presence was not particularly necessary but didn't bother him.

To avoid using terms like "past life," they tacitly refer to it as "the previous life," so that if the conversation were to be leaked, they could still offer an explanation.

"There might be some hidden mission... no, hidden factors."

Sheng Hanyu wanted to laugh after he finished speaking. He wasn't even a player, so how could he say such a thing?

"Let's see how it goes. Anyway, he can fish, so he's not entirely useless!"

Ye Sanqing casually commented.

Sheng Hanyu thought to herself, "Then wouldn't I be of great use?"
