At six thirty in the evening, the sun was setting in the west, the sky hadn't darkened yet, but the temperature in W City had gradually dropped.

After Zhang Yang and his group returned to the hotel, they took a quick shower and changed into clean clothes. Seeing it was nearly the agreed time, they soon headed downstairs and rushed to the restaurant they had agreed upon.

The car was parked in the downstairs parking lot, where Wei Song had already arrived ahead of them.

"Finally you're here, damn it, I thought you were going to ditch me again!"

Upon meeting, Wei Song came up with a cheerful joke in his mouth.

Zhang Yang glanced at the people behind him and half-jokingly said, "Even if I wanted not to come, this group of teammates wouldn't agree! Goodness, they're all holding back their big moves to eat you poor!"

"Haha, eat me poor? That'll take some effort! Come on, come on, don't be shy, brothers, head straight to the second floor, room 201. I've arranged everything!

No one has dietary restrictions, right? I've ordered garlic-flavored, spicy ones, and the signature lobster will be served soon; let's all have a taste!"

Under Wei Song's invitation, everyone filed upstairs and soon arrived at the private room.

This lobster restaurant has excellent decor, the room is spacious, and the large table can seat more than ten people.

No dishes had been served yet, but several cases of unsealed Qingdao beer had already been opened and placed on the table, looking awfully plentiful. Even before the meal started, it was evident that another fierce battle awaited tonight.

"Tsk tsk, why do these beer cases not look like the ones we usually drink?"

Wang Yan, who regularly drinks a lot, took a knowledgeable glance at the print on the beer cases under the table and spoke deliberately.

Wei Song laughed and replied, "I got this Perfection Brewery beer through my friend! This isn't those rebranded ones! Let's taste them together once the shrimp is served, I brought ten cases tonight, enough for everyone; if it's not enough, I'll have someone deliver more!"

Wang Yan already recognized the 02 code, signifying Perfection Brewery's stock, from the printed mark on the boxes. He had asked just to pave the way for Wei Song's boasting.

Upon hearing that ten cases of beer had been prepared to host everyone, Wang Yan, who is fond of drinking, had a twinkle in his eye.

"Why wait for the shrimp? The weather is so hot, why not taste this good beer first! Let me raise a glass, thanks to Brother Wei for the hospitality!"

While speaking, Wang Yan filled a glass and raised it.

Since everyone at the table were their own teammates and the only outsider was Wei Song, seeing Wang Yan make a statement, everyone immediately followed suit, filling their glasses and raising them.

"Haha, no problem with that, come on, brothers, let's drink a toast! Welcome everyone to W City for guidance at work!" Wei Song raised his full glass of beer and gulped it down in several big sips.

The intense aroma of hops and malt from the authentic beer exploded on the tip of the tongue, tempting knowledgeable people to favor this premium beer for good reason; its flavor indeed stands out.

"Tsk tsk, this beer is tasty! Good stuff indeed, it's tough to find some for personal drinking back in W City!"

"That's easy, I'll help you get some later, a friend of mine deals this stuff."

"That would be fantastic!"

A conversation about beer quickly narrowed the distance between the two.

After a few idle words, soon the waiter came to serve the big lobster dishes, two huge trays, weighing five pounds each. Besides the signature lobsters, there were several restaurant specialties, soon filling up the large table.

The dishes were served, marking the official start of the meal; Wei Song and Zhang Yang signaled each other, and the battle began.

All are fishing enthusiasts, and seated together while eating and drinking, there's never a lack of topics, everyone chatting while eating, discussing the previous tournament, and today's championship, keeping the small atmosphere lively.

"What happened with your bet with Qian Wenjun? Did he cash it in?"

Somehow the conversation shifted to Qian Wenjun, and Wei Song casually asked.

Upon hearing the question, Zhang Yang's lips slightly curled as he was about to speak, but Liu Zi, who couldn't keep secrets, took over.

"Brother Yang set Qian Wenjun straight, not only paid the bet money but also compensated for the foul play Brother Fan faced last time! They didn't realize our leader's caliber, dared to play dirty tricks, and got completely duped this time!"

"Oh? What happened?" Wei Song's curiosity was piqued by Liu Zi's words, and he turned to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't stop peeling the shrimp and spoke unhurriedly, "This bastard lined up next to me in the final match, I was on guard all along.

Before the competition started, I gave him a hint or two, but he didn't care. I had my phone prepped to record video, tucked in the net pocket of my fishing rod case!

This jerk saw my good catch and decided to ruin my spot, but I seized the opportunity and caught his wrist.

I held their tails firmly and had the phone video as evidence, he had no choice but to yield!"

"Damn, that's satisfying! You wouldn't know, in our local competitive circle, Qian Wenjun and Xiao Wei and their gang, numbering at least ten, have quite a poor reputation; it's great they took a loss in your hands this time!"

Zhang Yang continued with a smirk: "Forty thousand bucks, right into the company account! If you mess with me using dirty tricks, then we'll deal with you using the methods meant for dirty tricks!"

The only thing missing was for Meng Fan to kneel and apologize for losing, which I decided to skip on my own. Brother Fan, if we lack face in this, seeking compensation with money is all right, isn't it?"
