Chapter 696: Revisiting the Old Place

"I'm sorry." Ma Youyou apologized.

"Forget it, I won't do it again. I'll calculate your salary for this month in two days and pay it to you in advance."

"There's no need for salary, boss, I can't take it with me anyway."

"Then you have to pay it. Who told me that I have more money now? And this is also the income of your labor. Even if you can't take it with you, you can still use it to consume it before leaving. Eat what you want, buy what you want, or go abroad. Traveling or something.”

"I...I may not be able to go back yet." Ma Youyou said.

"I know, I'm just preparing in advance so as not to be caught off guard. If nothing happens, you can leave."

"Oh." Ma Youyou stood up.

Malu looked at the time on his phone again, "Forget it, the restaurant is about to open, so let's take my car and go together."

"good."

…………

Ma Lu is actually not as calm as he seems on the surface. The number of fixed waiters in the Universe Infinite Canteen has been expanded to three people. According to time, they are He Xiaoqian, Ma Youyou and Sun Mei.

If you add part-time people, the number will be even greater, but the most irreplaceable among these people is Ma Youyou, because she can work in the kitchen and can also deal with special guests in the evening show.

If she leaves, Boss Ma won't be able to fish every day, let alone take a vacation.

Malu always thought that he felt a little lost because of this reason.

But in fact, the star coins he has on hand are now richer. In addition, there have been many cosmic refugees coming to the earth recently. If he is willing, it is not impossible to recruit successors.

If that's the case, why is his heart still empty?

Malu has a relatively clear perception of most people of the opposite sex around him. For example, when it comes to An Qi and Han Feifei, they are ambiguous between men and women, he and Shen Yue are close friends, and he and Yu Yizhu used to hate each other, but now they hate each other less.

Sure enough, success is the best antidote to regret.

To go a long way, he himself couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Ma Youyou. If he had to say it, when the two of them got along, Ma Lu probably felt...natural.

It may be a bit strange to say that, Ma Youyou suddenly appeared on a certain day, but the two people's steps were surprisingly consistent.

Sometimes Ma Lu wanted her to do something, and Ma Youyou could do it exactly as he wanted without having to explain it in detail.

Ever since she appeared, Ma Lu rarely had to worry about the daily operations of the restaurant. This really helped him a lot. Moreover, Ma Youyou's salary was not high. Counting the messy bonuses, it was only 13,440 yuan a month. It can be said to be a very good deal.

But no matter what his position was, Ma Lu definitely couldn't stop Ma Youyou from going home. Not only could he not stop her, but he had to do his best to help. It was regarded as a bonus for her hard work in the store during this period.

Malu convinced himself so, although he was still a little reluctant to give up.

In the afternoon, he sent Ma Youyou and Lao Wang to the restaurant, but he didn't stay at the cashier. He drove around in the car and unknowingly came to the river where he fished last time.

It has been almost a week since he came here before.

The existence of the Neptune Bench completely deprived him of the fun of fishing, turning this entertainment activity that should have required skill and patience and then reaping surprises into a pure fitness exercise.

So much so that Malu didn't want to fish at all in the next few days, but today he was a little annoyed and needed some repetitive mechanical work to clear his mind.

Malu was targeted as soon as he parked the car.

The people immediately gathered around him after he got off the bus.

"Master, you are finally here again. I said this car looks familiar. Xiao Zheng, this is the master I told you last week. Last time I caught a herring of over 15 pounds here and a 21-pound one." It took him less than 40 minutes to catch silver carp and bighead carp, and our buckets were almost full.”

"Are you bragging? This is still a human being?"

Xiao Zheng obviously didn't believe it. Although he also saw the photos and chat records in the group that day, he still preferred to believe in science.

It's not like he's never been to this river before. It's possible to catch a big fish if you're lucky, but catching big fish one after another and filling four or five buckets is like fucking science fiction.

Another old man wearing a straw hat also didn’t believe it, “Tao’er, why are you making up lies and you’re so addicted to it? You’ve been talking about it for a week and you’re still saying, I’ve been fishing for more than 30 years, and I’ve seen better fishermen than you. There are still many fish. If he is really as powerful as you say, I will eat my bag of fish food!"

The old man was also more serious and said with a pinched neck.

The man he called Tao'er was actually in his forties. He was the middle-aged uncle who was the first to greet Malu in waders. His full name was Guo Zhengtao. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly.

"Second uncle, don't swear nonsense. This man is really a great man. He even gave us the fish he caught last time. Lao Li, Lao Tie and Xiao Yu are all here. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

"I don't need to ask, it's a lie as soon as I hear it!"

No matter what Guo Zhengtao said, his second uncle just shook his head, "I have been fishing for thirty years, and I can no longer tell the truth from the lies!"

Malu ignored these arguments, found a random place, put the bench there, still used the lure rod he bought last time, and started to stock up.

Xiao Zheng and Guo Zhengtao's second uncle were both disdainful at first, but their faces soon changed.

It had been less than half a minute since Malu sat down when there was movement on the other side, so Malu started to reel in and caught a big carp weighing nearly four pounds.

Guo Zhengtao, Xiao Yu and others had seen this scene before, but they still couldn't help but sigh.

"A great god is a great god. He doesn't even make a nest, just sits still and catches big fish with a lure rod and a fake bait."

Guo Zhengtao's uncle was still stubborn, "Hehe, young people are lucky..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, Malu picked up the fishing rod again. This time, it was less than 5 seconds after he threw the line out. The speed of catching fish really scared Xiao Zheng and Guo's uncle.

And this was just the beginning. Malu's subsequent catches were one after another. Occasionally, he would catch fish because the hook was unhooked halfway. Anyway, he would definitely catch a fish within half a minute after casting a rod, and the size was not small.

The largest one was a 30-pound catfish. Malu walked it for a long time before exhausting its strength and pulling it to the shore.

Everyone worked together to drag the catfish ashore. As before, Malu gave all the fish to the fishermen on the riverside. He fished for an hour and five minutes this time, which was a new record. He felt like his arms were not his own.

But the effect was also significant. At least when he was fishing, he didn't think about Ma Youyou leaving.
