Stuck in you

The water in the river was excellent. In recent years, the government had been devoted to its surrounding environment. That was why it had worked hard to stricken its regulations to prevent overfishing. Due to this, there were more and more fishes in the river, creating a sustainable environment.

Given that it was private added to the glamour of the entire scenery. The river was so clean that the waters were almost close to transparent.

The government and the private sector worked hard to create such a beautiful paradise. Although they baited a few, they made sure that none of their techniques would be used to pollute its waters. If they were, they would have to take full responsibility.

Those who joined the fishing association were either rich or incredibly influential.

They all came here for one reason—they all enjoyed fishing.

The people who organized this association had cooperated with Jack in the past when it came to business-related activities.

This was why Jack had been invited to the association along with other commercial partners.

Although the men came here for fishing, they also came here to talk about businesses. It was said that many partnerships were formed at the riverside.

As the saying went, connections were the only trump card one should have under his sleeves. Some might benefit from them, while others might collapse because of them.

In this sector, connections mattered the most in these fields.

There were many people who were good at sucking up, but Jack was the type of person who could see right through their acts. He wasn't one to rely on connections alone.

In fact, sometimes, this type of influence could drag people down more than they could lift someone up.

However, he knew that it was best to keep these relations alive as they went. Plus, the president of this association, was present as well.

That was why he decided to treat them. The fish in the river were fresh and exquisite. In fact, these delicacies were famous in Ninwell City.

He asked the cook to clean the fish before inviting all the members of the association to sit down.

Although they didn't know each other personality, they had one thing in common, and that was enough for all of them to get along well.

They had set all the small fish free, while the bigger ones were taken back to the kitchen. At last, the cook made all-fish feast that they were about to have.

There were so many old men in the association who were the same age as Jack's father. They talked about fishing, tools, and so on.
