What is this thing?

The aunt who was about to throw the cup into the trash can paused for a moment, then handed the cup to Li Baoshan, her eyes full of doubt.

The three of them were old acquaintances here. Although they came from out of town, they ate breakfast here every day.

Judging from their behavior, the aunt could sense that these three were probably high-ranking provincial leaders, but they were all quite approachable and preferred to go downstairs to eat by themselves.

After Li Baoshan took the cup, he turned around and showed the label to Yan Bingshan and the other man.

Yan Bingshan and Wang Qingguo could no longer sit still.

"Little sister, where did you buy your Tongtong?"

"The Forbidden City, perhaps."

The aunt muttered something with a hint of doubt, and then complained to the three of them.

I don't know what to say.

"There's only one store in the whole of Kyoto. I don't know what they were thinking. Why didn't they open more stores to make more money?"

“Every time I buy this piece of junk, I have to wait in line for at least twenty minutes.”

After breakfast, Yan Bingshan and the other two returned to their room. Thinking about what they had just seen, their eyes gradually became sharp.

"Old Li, do you think this thing might be a fake?"

Yan Bingshan turned and stared intently at Li Baoshan.

Li Baoshan also shook his head.

"Even if it's fake, it's still not easy to deal with."

These words plunged the three of them into complete silence.

It's strange that Mixue Ice Cream, a company based in their province, would appear in Kyoto. If it's a fake, they could easily put pressure on the local Kyoto authorities.

The problem is, this thing is located near the Forbidden City.

The person who can open a shop in the Forbidden City is someone the three of them can't touch. If they continue to put pressure on them, they might not be able to keep their positions.

This put Li Baoshan and Yan Bingshan in a difficult dilemma.

They saw an opportunity, but it didn't seem like a good one.

Only Wang Qingguo, who had stepped out of his own thoughts, was asking his two older brothers questions.

"Why don't we ask Lin Yifeng?"

Let's get right to it.

Yan Bingshan dialed Lin Yifeng's number again and put it on speakerphone.

As soon as the call connected, Yan Bingshan got straight to the point.

"Kobayashi, do you know anyone in Kyoto?"

"Don't tease me, Uncle Yan. What have I done to deserve your acquaintance..."

Lin Yifeng on the phone fell silent for a moment, then tentatively asked a question in return.

"Have you seen Mixue Ice Cream?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them's eyes lit up.

This matter is indeed related to Lin Yifeng.

At the same time, the three of them also felt some doubt about Lin Yifeng's connections.

Is this guy's ancestors really all from the Makino clan?

How come they still know someone in Kyoto? And judging by this trend, even the three of them might not be able to afford to offend this person in Kyoto.

"Uncle Yan, wait for me."

"I'll come tonight."

"I have a solution for the money issue!"
