January 1, 2022, Happy New Year. Wishing myself to be more handsome in the new year.
Today, I spent the entire day at Jack Ma's winery. In the evening, I saw Young Master Xia take Lin'er and the others out. They didn't return for two hours. I don't know what they were up to.
Everyone at Jack Ma's winery was in high spirits, drinking happily. The wine here is indeed excellent, and I indulged a bit too much.
I haven't learned anything from following Young Master Xia, but I did learn one word from everyone else: "lick."
----------Huang Heng's Diary, January 1, 2022.
Xia Feng stayed in France for two days. After resolving the issue with the Watchers in France, he flew to the Netherlands overnight to deal with the Great Knights team there. This overseas trip was now concluded.
After a day's stay in the Netherlands, he returned directly to China, flying to Fishing City in Guangnan Province.
It was Penguin Ma who repeatedly invited them, and only then did everyone agree to visit. The key reason was that the weather in Modu was indeed cold, while the weather in Fishing City was nice and just right.
Jack Ma had a bit of a home-field advantage in France. How could Penguin Ma stand by and let Jack Ma show off alone? So, he invited everyone to Fishing City for a visit.
Fishing City was Penguin Ma's stronghold. He grew up here and established his family and career here.
Pope Paul, King Hughes, and Dark Spirit had all come along. Following Xia Feng was their core goal for this lifetime.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves every day.
In Fishing City, after Penguin Ma arranged the hotels, everyone went their separate ways for entertainment in the evening.
Upon arriving in Fishing City, it was naturally Ma Yuqin who took everyone around.
At eight in the evening, Ma Yuqin took everyone to a concert. With Ma Yuqin's status, securing ten separate tickets was a trivial matter.
Concerts usually reserved front-row tickets to prevent such special circumstances, or for the stars to give to their family and friends.
The concert featured a popular newly emerged girl group, a band composed of three youthful beauties.
As the concert began, the audience below cheered. As the music started, the three members made their entrances from different directions.
With their arrival, elegant singing commenced, and fans in the audience raised their glow sticks high.
They shouted, "TWSS, we love you, and we will always support you."
Qin Dou looked at the lively group on stage and chuckled to the National Little King, "These girls are quite good."
"Are you interested? Then go for it. You're Young Master Qin; who wouldn't want to curry favor with you?" Jiang Xin chimed in from the side.
The National Little King shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten your Dalys Anna so quickly?"
"Get lost. Don't mention that woman who stuffs sausages in her mouth to me again. The thought of her makes me sick," Qin Dou retorted, cursing the National Little King who was mocking him.
As the concert had just begun, several men walked in from the side and took seats in the center, close to Xia Lin and the others.
One of the men glanced at Xia Lin and the others. Then, he saw the National Little King not far away, and his eyes flickered slightly.
After that, no one spoke, and everyone continued watching the concert.
Song after song played, and the atmosphere intensified. Everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves. Just then, the men who arrived later spoke to the two people sitting in the center:
"Young Master Zhao, Young Master Xu, what do you think of these girls next to us? I've been watching them for a while," a man named Chu Dongliang said, pouting his lips towards Xia Lin and the others.
"We saw them when we arrived. They should be brought by the National Little King," Xu Duoduo said, glancing in the direction of the National Little King.
"There's a girl next to them who looks familiar. I wonder where I've seen her before," Zhao Ruitong said, glancing at Ma Yuqin.
"They probably have no connection with the National Little King. I've been watching them for a long time. Since they came in, I haven't seen them speak to each other. Besides, if the National Little King brought a few girls to a concert, wouldn't they be seated separately?" another person said.
"That makes sense. The National Little King is probably here for the three stars on stage," Xu Duoduo commented admiringly.
This statement was indeed valid. Bringing four such beautiful girls to a concert and then having them sit separately?
Unless the National Little King was out of his mind.
The concert lights were dim. Isn't this the time for hands to wander and embrace someone on the left and right?
If it were them, that's exactly what they'd be doing.
"So, does that mean we have a chance?" Zhao Ruitong's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.
When they first entered, they thought they were brought by the National Little King, so there was no need to greet them.
After all, they were all in the same circle. They couldn't just go and snatch girls brought by others; it would be undignified.
"There are exactly four of them, and we are four. The National Little King's side clearly has six men, so they probably didn't bring them," Xu Duoduo continued to glance at the National Little King's group.
"These four girls are much prettier than the stars on stage. I don't know what the National Little King and his group are thinking. They probably think they were brought by us too," Chu Dongliang said.
"That's unlikely. We clearly arrived later. Either they're not interested, or like us, they're waiting for an opportunity," Xu Duoduo was very confident in his judgment.
The four exchanged glances, seeing the interest in each other's eyes.
"Young Master Zhao, you have the highest status in Fishing City. You go and greet them first," Xu Duoduo urged Zhao Ruitong.
Zhao Ruitong chuckled. What they said was true; in terms of status, he was indeed the highest among them.
His father was the Vice Governor of Guangnan Province. With his high position and authority, who in the Guangnan area wouldn't give Zhao Ruitong face?
Although Fishing City was full of wealthy merchants, how could businessmen compare to such big shots?
Unless they were extremely formidable entrepreneurs who had reached a different level, they would have to show some respect.
Overall, it was they, the young masters from government circles, who were truly impressive.
Seeing that his brothers held him in such high regard, Zhao Ruitong smiled and said, "Since my brothers think highly of me, I'll go and get some benefits for everyone."
Then, Zhao Ruitong swapped seats with Chu Dongliang, bringing him closer to Xia Lin and the others.
"Hey... beautiful," Zhao Ruitong called out to Qin Wen.
Qin Wen was sitting in the same row as Xia Lin, closer to Zhao Ruitong. Because the music at the venue was too loud, Zhao Ruitong didn't shout very loudly, and Qin Wen didn't hear him at all.
"Beautiful, what's your name?" Zhao Ruitong shouted to Qin Wen, this time with more volume.
Qin Wen then heard a toad croaking next to her.
"What did you just say?" Qin Wen turned her head and asked curiously.
"I asked for your name. How about we become friends?" Zhao Ruitong shouted.
Now Qin Wen heard clearly. It was a toad.
"Not interested."
After saying that, Qin Wen turned her gaze back to the stage, ignoring Zhao Ruitong, regardless of whether he heard her.
Zhao Ruitong was stunned, his expression somewhat bewildered.
