The intense women's beach volleyball match was in full swing, but the hottest topic was still the second island and sea ownership agreement proposed by Ji Feng. After a day of fermentation, almost everyone in the world knew about this matter and was watching Indonesia's final stance: would it follow South Korea's footsteps and hand over the sea and islands to Ji Feng, or would it fight to the end?

Just as Indonesia announced that it was searching for historical records, the White House stepped forward again after just one day, firmly supporting Ji Feng. It warned Indonesia in a somewhat threatening tone to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible. It subtly mentioned that as the supervisor, the United States would use all means to ensure the smooth implementation of the agreement, with a strong undercurrent of tension, as if the U.S. would take military action against Indonesia if it delayed.

On the same day, ExxonMobil announced that the owner of Jeju Island held 5.83% of the company's shares, making him the seventh-largest shareholder. Currently, the Jeju Bank, which he solely owned (Greta's 1% stake was not disclosed to the public, and outsiders believed the bank was solely owned by Ji Feng), was under his management.

As a world-class energy company in which Ji Feng held shares, ExxonMobil would strengthen its deep cooperation with the Jeju Energy Group in the future. It also announced that it would soon engage in in-depth discussions on the joint development of the South China Sea's oil and gas resources.

ExxonMobil was the largest oil producer in the Natuna Islands region, and Ji Feng was one of its major shareholders. They naturally hoped to gain more benefits in the South China Sea. However, Ji Feng also owned the wholly-owned Jeju Energy Group, which would inevitably lead to conflicts in the South China Sea in the future. Therefore, after learning the government's attitude, they immediately sent a team led by the CEO to Jeju Island to have further discussions with Ji Feng, the major shareholder.

The U.S.'s clear and firm stance once again shocked the world, leading to widespread speculation about what new agreements had been reached or whether this was another step in the U.S.'s plan to control the South China Sea. Almost simultaneously, many countries began to consider what weapons standards they would need to prepare for the future of the South China Sea.

Although they already knew Ji Feng's intentions, the U.S.'s stance still caused great concern among the Chinese leadership. Guo Yunlong urgently met with Ji Feng but was given a rather amusing answer: "Ji Feng has gone out with his wife and won't be back for a few days."

In the early morning, Xu Xian received a call from Zheng Junshou, who said that the fish in Jeju Lake were ready to be fished and asked if she wanted to come and see. Xu Xian, who had never seen fishing before, was very excited and quickly finished her breakfast and headed out, with Ji Feng by her side. With his wife so close to giving birth, he couldn't afford to let anything happen to her.

As soon as the car stopped at the lakeside residence, Zheng Junshou, who had already come out, opened the car door for Xu Xian: "Madam, please be careful, or the boss will skin me alive."

Xu Xian grabbed the car door and got out, giggling: "Uncle Zheng, can we really start fishing? It's only been a few months; aren't they still in the growth stage?"

Before the holiday, Ji Feng had brought back a shipload of Barramundi, mainly because they grew the fastest in the space. The Barramundi in Jeju Lake grew much slower, but at the time, Ji Feng saw that the Kadaniel fish were almost fully grown. He was concerned that bringing out the Kadaniel fish from the space would impact them, so he only brought back a shipload of Barramundi.

Although these two types of fish were not the most expensive in the world, they were among the top ten. Their delicious taste and extremely rich nutrition had already made them the top choice for global tycoons, with orders from around the world totaling several hundred thousand tons.

Zheng Junshou happily said: "Yes, Madam, they have grown to 50 centimeters. Oh, they grow so fast, and they don't even need to be fed fish food; they just eat grass to grow this big. It's truly unbelievable, of course, all thanks to the boss. If it weren't for him breeding these fish, I wouldn't even know such a miracle existed."

Ji Feng turned off the car and got out, smiling: "I can't take all the credit. Without the hard work of Manager Zheng and everyone else, I would have been exhausted long ago."

Xu Xian, excited, grabbed Ji Feng's arm: "OPPA, let's go and see. Are you really going to give me these fish? They are very expensive." Although the ownership of Jeju Lake was registered in her name, Xu Xian had not contributed a single cent to the initial investment. Now, hearing that the fish were ready to be caught, she was very excited, even though Ji Feng had always provided for her.

Before the holiday, Xu Xian didn't know how much money Ji Feng had made from the shipload of Barramundi, but the first few times had truly shocked her. The net profit from a few ships of fish was over a hundred billion dollars, which stunned her. Although she knew her husband was wealthy, seeing that number still deeply shocked her.

Ji Feng gently held Xu Xian's hand and laughed: "The entire lake is yours, so everything in it is yours."

Following Zheng Junshou to the lakeside, they saw a few hundred-ton fishing boat already docked at the shore, with the workers ready and full of energy. After raising the fish for a few months, they hadn't expected to be able to start fishing so soon.

There were also some tourists fishing on the shore. When they saw Ji Feng and the pregnant Xu Xian, they all stood up and greeted them. Now, almost everyone who came to Jeju Island knew them. Since their exposure, photos of Ji Feng and Xu Xian could be seen everywhere on the island, and many couples even bought their intimate wedding photos as souvenirs. In just over two months, their most popular wedding photo had sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

Ji Feng and Xu Xian also smiled and greeted everyone, occasionally asking about their catches. Initially, Jeju Lake was not open to the public, but due to numerous requests, especially when the supply of Kadaniel fish was insufficient, the wealthy tourists demanded that fishing be allowed, even if they had to pay a high price for the fish they caught.

After consulting with Xu Xian, she agreed that since the lake was so large and contained hundreds of thousands of fish, it wouldn't matter if they allowed fishing. So, starting from May 1st, hundreds of tourists visited the lake daily, most of whom could afford the high prices. After all, a single fish could cost several thousand dollars, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, even with fishing allowed, these wealthy people found that fishing here was different from anywhere else. The fish here hardly took the bait, even with the best lures. Whether it was Barramundi or Kadaniel fish, they seemed to be interested only in the aquatic grass growing in the lake and ignored everything else.

Every day, hundreds of anglers could catch only a few dozen fish, which was considered a good day. Despite this, many people still stubbornly sat by the lake, some with over a dozen rods in the water, waiting for the fish to bite.

Ji Feng led Xu Xian onto the fishing boat and found a relatively safe spot for her to sit. At Zheng Junshou's command, the boat started, and the tourists, who had been waiting for days, stood up with smiles, watching the boat head into the lake. Today, the fishing would finally begin, and Zheng Junshou had promised to supply the first catch to them, which made the eager anglers even more excited.

At this point, the price of Kadaniel fish had risen to $150 per pound. Even so, the few dozen fish caught by the anglers were like a drop in the bucket compared to the vast lake. This had even led to professional anglers who fished here daily, earning a good income by catching just one Kadaniel fish a day. The fishing grounds charged anglers $130 per pound, and if others bought the fish at a higher price, the difference went to the anglers.

After sailing a few hundred meters into the lake, Xu Xian, somewhat impatient, stood up and looked at the clear water, where fish could be seen swimming: "Uncle Zheng, when will we start? I see a lot of fish in the water."

Zheng Junshou chuckled: "Madam, what you see now are just small schools of fish. The largest schools are in the center of the lake. We'll go there directly to start fishing."

Ji Feng smiled and squeezed Xu Xian's hand: "Don't worry, wife. Manager Zheng has decades of fishing experience. We just need to watch."

As they sailed, Ji Feng noticed that there were also many small fish in the lake, indicating that the Kadaniel fish had already spawned and hatched.

Xu Xian sat on the boat, feeling relaxed and occasionally trying to lean over the side to look into the lake. If not for Ji Feng's concern for her condition, he would have allowed it, but he had to be careful to prevent her from getting too excited.

When the boat reached the center of the lake, a large fishing net was lowered into the water. The lake was not very deep, only about four to five meters, which was just right for the growth of aquatic grass.

Under Xu Xian's curious gaze, the boat continued for a mile or two before it became very difficult to move. Xu Xian, excited, held Ji Feng's hand and pointed at the net trailing behind the boat, where large numbers of Kadaniel and Barramundi fish were struggling, almost breaking the net. Despite their efforts, they could not escape the strong net.
