If Lin Yifeng continues to refuse to let Bai Yejin pay, she might become hesitant to go out with him in the future.

Because she would feel that she had taken advantage of Lin Yifeng, and she would feel uncomfortable and guilty.

But Veronica Yip is different.

Perhaps Veronica Yip's experiences were different from others in the same year. Although she was very smart, her martial arts skills were extremely powerful.

But she's a little simple-minded, doesn't care much about things outside the home, and doesn't bother with anything.

Even if Lin Yifeng is full of lies, and she could easily expose them, she wouldn't expose them, nor would she care.

But this girl seems to have some kind of obsession with foreigners. She doesn't accept anything foreign and has a strong emotion and impulse to cheat foreigners.

Therefore, Lin Yifeng was quite casual with Ye Yuqing. He didn't want Ye Yuqing to pay, so he just said it directly and didn't need to care too much about Ye Yuqing's feelings and thoughts.

...

Fujian cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines of China.

Fujian cuisine is characterized by its freshness and mellowness, and it is known for its skillful use of red yeast rice in soups. It also emphasizes meticulous knife skills and the ability to create "ten variations from one soup".

Among Fujian cuisine, the most famous and classic dish is "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the pinnacle of Fujian cuisine. It is made by simmering dozens of precious ingredients such as abalone and sea cucumber over low heat, resulting in a rich and flavorful soup. It is a dish served at state banquets.

A trip to Fujian province is incomplete without eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Lin Yifeng took Ye Yuqing by bus to a famous local restaurant in Mindu, the capital of Fujian Province, to eat authentic Fujian cuisine.

Ye Yuqing followed Lin Yifeng into the restaurant with a backpack on her back.

The backpack was slightly conspicuous in the restaurant. Before leaving, Lin Yifeng tried to persuade Ye Yuqing to leave the backpack at the guesthouse, but Ye Yuqing refused.

In her words, a backpack isn't heavy, so why leave it at the guesthouse?

If it gets stolen, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

So Lin Yifeng let Ye Yuqing carry him.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Lychee Pork, Ginger Duck, Changting Dried Tofu...

Lin Yifeng ordered six or seven dishes in a row, and only stopped when Ye Yuqing told him to.

"Lin Yifeng, isn't this a bit too much?"

Ye Yuqing inquired.

"We're lucky today, let's celebrate."

Lin Yifeng said with a smile that he was indeed lucky today. He had managed to dig out memories from the depths of his memory and actually got his hands on the black fish's property.

The more than 20 kilograms of gold is Lin Yifeng's largest asset at present.

This restaurant is a famous local restaurant, and it's always packed. Those who can afford to eat here are considered successful people.

Whether they follow the legitimate path, the gray path, or the high-stakes path, they're guaranteed to have money in their hands.

I don't have the money; I really can't afford to spend it here.

The food was served rather slowly, and since Ye Yuqing didn't talk much, Lin Yifeng had no choice but to ask the waiter for a local newspaper to pass the time.

The local newspapers are mostly empty, consisting mainly of analyses of the current economic situation and promotions for certain businesses.

Lin Yifeng flipped through several newspapers before finally finding a useful one.

This is a report about Hainan Island, which points out and analyzes the development of Hainan Island, and also looks forward to the future of Fujian Province.

At first glance, this report seems to say nothing, but those familiar with Hainan Island can immediately see that Fujian Province is emphasizing "foreign trade".

To be precise, it emphasizes "smuggling".

In this era, Hainan Island was most famous for two things.

First, housing prices.

The price of one square meter of housing during the holiday reached an astonishing 5,000 yuan, which is higher than the housing price in thirty years.

It was a major car smuggling case on Hainan Island.

This case had such a wide impact that it was still mentioned in later generations.

"It really is a case of feeling one's way across a river by touching the stones!"

Lin Yifeng clicked his tongue twice as he looked at the report.

Everything is now giving way to the economy, so...

After reading the report, Lin Yifeng put down the newspaper in his hand. He picked up another newspaper and just put a piece of abalone in his mouth when he heard the sound of discussion from the dining table not far away.

Lam Yat-fung and Veronica Yip ate in the main hall of the restaurant, not in a private room.

The hall was crowded, but the voices at the table next to Lin Yifeng were noticeably louder, and Lin Yifeng could hear everything they were discussing clearly.

"The bastards over in Changle have really stirred things up this time. They made a huge commotion last night, and a lot of people know about it now."

"Yeah, those two bastards over there are fighting. I think it's some big black fish and Yang Biaozi. They're fighting until they're bleeding from head to toe over a few million worth of goods."

"Those two scoundrels don't care about the consequences at all. They've made such a big fuss that everyone knows about it now."

"Who cares, as long as it doesn't affect us."

“I’m worried it will affect us. Is there any big brother who can step in and mediate the conflict? We can’t just let these two scoundrels keep causing trouble.”

"Big Brother hasn't made a move. I heard that Big Black Fish has the upper hand and is chasing Yang Biaozi. Maybe everyone is just waiting for the outcome."

"Who cares if it's Big Black Fish or Yang Biaozi? Let those two bastards finish their fight quickly and call it a day."

They're making tons of money outside, yet they're fighting amongst themselves—no wonder they failed!

The conversation reached Lin Yifeng's ears intermittently. Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow slightly and put down the newspaper in his hand.

Is Yang Biaozi being hunted down?

Oh wow, Yang Biaozi never told me this in my previous life.

No wonder this guy hates the big black fish so much; he almost lost his life at its hands.

Moreover, it seems that yesterday's incident caused quite a stir, and people in Mindu, the capital of Fujian Province, have heard about it.

Changle County was originally not far from Mindu. In later generations, Changle County was incorporated into Mindu and became a district of Mindu.

"Ye Yuqing, let's eat quickly."

Upon hearing that Yang Biaozi was chasing after someone, Lin Yifeng immediately urged Ye Yuqing to eat quickly.

He was ready to step in and give Yang Biaozi a hand.
