Such opportunities were right before them, but unfortunately, due to their arrogance and conceit, they missed this chance to strike it rich, letting Ling Zhenfei, this inconspicuous nobody, take such a great advantage.

Their regret and frustration at that moment were beyond words.

Professor Sun looked at the fish for a while, then stood up excitedly and asked Ling Zhenfei: "Young man, can you sell me these fish? Don't worry, I guarantee a satisfactory price."

"Um..."

Ling Zhenfei heard this and refused without even thinking: "Sorry, Professor Sun, I understand your feelings, but I just bought these fish, and I don't plan to sell them for now."

"Well..."

Professor Sun looked disappointed but didn't want to give up. He extended a hand to Ling Zhenfei and asked again: "Young man, how about this: I'll pay one hundred thousand per fish, for a total of five fish, five hundred thousand. What do you think?"

Five fish, five hundred thousand?

Upon hearing Professor Sun's offer, Ling Zhenfei hadn't yet reacted, but the onlookers were shocked, astonished voices rising one after another...

It's unimaginable. Ling Zhenfei, this kid, who knows what kind of luck he's stumbled upon—buying these fish for five thousand yuan, not even warmed up yet, and can sell them for five hundred thousand, a hundredfold profit. Isn't it foolish not to sell?

"Sorry, Professor Sun, I won't sell these fish!"

Who knew that when everyone thought Ling Zhenfei would surely agree, his answer would be so unexpected.

No way, is this kid really stupid?

A chance to make hundreds of thousands instantly, such a great opportunity, and he isn't seizing it? Does he have an even bigger plan?

In fact, not only were the crowd shocked at Ling Zhenfei's answer, but Professor Sun also looked puzzled at him.

He thought Ling Zhenfei thought the price was too low, so he said again: "Young man, if you think the price is low, I can add another hundred thousand to the total price..."

"Professor Sun, don't misunderstand, it's not about the money. No matter how much you offer, I won't sell them."

However, before Professor Sun could finish, Ling Zhenfei interrupted: "Really sorry, Professor Sun, I just bought these fish from an old man, and I promised him to take good care of them.

And also, I'm planning to cultivate some rare fish species now, and I aim to successfully breed these near-extinct fish and promote them on a large scale..."

Though Ling Zhenfei's words were brief, they were full of enthusiasm. As for Professor Sun, though initially disappointed, he couldn't help but admire and appreciate the greater ambition he heard in Ling Zhenfei's words.

"I never expected it, young man, you have such lofty ambitions!"

After pausing, Professor Sun lightly patted Ling Zhenfei's shoulder and said with emotion: "Young people like you are rare nowadays. I truly feel inferior!"

"Professor Sun, you're too kind!"

Ling Zhenfei looked at Professor Sun, then solemnly handed him a business card: "Professor Sun, I run a farm, and I plan to raise these fish there. Actually, you don't need to buy them at a high price if you want to study these fish; you can just come to my farm to see them regularly."

"Really? That would be wonderful!"

Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei say he could visit the farm to see the fish, Professor Sun smiled happily like a child, all his worries and troubles vanishing.

"Ah! I didn't expect it, you are the owner of Xi Shan Farm, Ling Zhenfei!"

When Professor Sun received Ling Zhenfei's business card and saw the Xi Shan Farm name, he couldn't help but be even more delighted, holding Ling Zhenfei's hand with admiration.

Although Xi Shan Farm hasn't been established for long, the vegetables it produces have already captured most of Binyang City's market. The residents of Binyang are well-acquainted with Xi Shan Farm and take pride in being able to eat its vegetables.

Although Professor Sun is a scholar, he also considers himself a foodie, especially loving the vegetables from Xi Shan Farm. Now learning that the young man before him is the owner, how could he not be elated?

"What? This young man is the owner of Xi Shan Farm?"

"Oh my god, did I hear wrong? I always thought Boss Ling of Xi Shan Farm was a successful middle-aged man. I never expected he would be so young!"

"It's truly unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't believe Boss Ling to be so young!"

...

Upon learning that Ling Zhenfei was the renowned owner of Xi Shan Farm, the surrounding crowd started discussing excitedly.

As for those who had mocked Ling Zhenfei earlier, they felt a stinging embarrassment on their faces!

It was a blatant slap in the face. They had thought Ling Zhenfei was just an insignificant nobody. Yet, they didn't expect that with a magnificent turnaround, Ling Zhenfei's identity had impressively reversed!

At this point, those who judged people by appearances deeply understood the saying: One should not judge a person by their appearance, nor the sea by its volume...

Although Professor Sun didn't buy the fish, he gained the opportunity to research the growth of the Yangtze River Reeve's Shad at Xi Shan Farm and to befriend a young hero like Ling Zhenfei. This was undoubtedly more delightful than buying the fish at a high price.

Ling Zhenfei and Professor Sun exchanged contact information, then left the aquaculture market with Li Ermeng.

Watching their departing figures, those who had mocked them couldn't help but feel regret, lamenting the lost chance to befriending Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei drove Li Ermeng towards the village. At the entrance, Li Ermeng asked if they should put the five fish into the pond now. Thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei said: "These fish were just caught, maybe they aren't adapted to the pond environment yet. I'll take them home for a few days, then put them in once they grow a bit."

"Alright, then. You go back first, I'll walk back to the farm!"

After these events, Li Ermeng admired Ling Zhenfei even more. He nodded to Ling Zhenfei and then jumped out of the car to walk back to the farm.

After watching Li Ermeng walk away, Ling Zhenfei drove straight home.

At home, his sister-in-law Zhou Yun was tidying up. Seeing Ling Zhenfei return, she said: "Zhenfei, you're back! Haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook as soon as I finish up!"

"Sister-in-law, you go ahead, I just came back from the city and I'm not hungry yet." Ling Zhenfei replied, carrying a bucket to his room.

Though he told Li Ermeng he was going to keep the five Yangtze River Reeve's Shad at home, it was just an excuse.
