Ling Yi never imagined that a breakfast could be so outrageously expensive.
Two liang (approximately 100 grams) of shumai cost 360 yuan, and there were only six in total, meaning each shumai cost 60 yuan.
The two spent nearly a thousand yuan on breakfast.
"The residents of Cloudscape Residential Complex are all wealthy people. This is already considered cheap. The average daily cost per person here is several thousand yuan, and many people have over a million yuan in pocket money per month."
What else could Ling Yi say? He could only say he had learned something new; the lives of the wealthy were indeed so simple and unpretentious.
"But the shumai here really does taste good."
To be honest, this is the best shumai Ling Yi has ever eaten in all these years.
It's oily but not greasy, with a thin crust and generous filling, plus the secret seasoning, Ling Yi enjoyed it very much.
"I've decided, I'll come to this shop for shumai every morning from now on."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Liu Yufei laughed and said, "Although the shumai tastes good, it's still a bit too greasy. Tomorrow I'll take you to a congee shop to eat seafood congee; it's absolutely delicious."
"That's a good idea!"
Liu Yufei is a very competent little food guide.
" Ling Yi, do you have anything planned for this morning?"
"Writing novels at home!"
Liu Yufei's eyes lit up. "Is it the new novel the Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
You saw it?
"Mmm, it's really good. This is what a martial arts novel should be like. By the way, can you give me a spoiler? Do Guo Jing and Hua Zheng end up together?"
"No!"
"Why? Hua Zheng is so cute!"
"No more spoilers, or it'll ruin the fun."
Ling Yi Ling Yi paid the bill; he didn't have the habit of letting women pay.
After leaving the restaurant, Ling Yi and Liu Yufei walked towards Ling Yi's home in tacit agreement. Liu Yufei clearly wanted to learn more about Ling Yi, and Ling Yi, of course, couldn't be so foolish as to refuse the company of a beautiful woman.
However, when Ling Yi opened the door, he saw a girl wearing a blue dress and an apron cleaning the house.
" Ling Qiqi? How did you get in?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.
"Tch, after all these years, your habit of keeping your Key under the carpet hasn't changed at all," Ling Qiqi said smugly, twirling the Key in her hand.
At this moment, Ling Yi made way for Liu Yufei behind him and said, "This is Ling Qiqi, my sister!"
" Ling Qiqi, this is Liu Yufei, a future Great Ming."
Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei exchanged glances, and Liu Yufei instantly saw hostility in Ling Qiqi's eyes.
"Oh my, Ling Yi, I didn't know you had such a beautiful younger sister. Your family has really good genes," Liu Yufei exclaimed.
Ling Qiqi is indeed very beautiful. If 100 is a perfect score, Ling Qiqi's looks would definitely score 95 or higher.
With a little packaging, they could debut right away.
Of course, she's still a few points behind Liu Yufei. Liu Yufei's looks are already at the highest level; giving her a 99 out of 100 is perfectly reasonable.
"I thought you wouldn't be here until the afternoon. Have you had breakfast yet?" Ling Yi asked Ling Qiqi.
Ling Qiqi pointed towards the kitchen and said, "I've cooked noodles, they'll be ready soon."
"Okay, make do with breakfast for now, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."
"Evening? What about noon?" Ling Qiqi said, dissatisfied.
Liu Yufei offered to explain, " Ling Yi, why don't you bring your sister to my house for lunch? It's just an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl."
Ling Qiqi looked at Ling Yi and Liu Yufei with a puzzled expression. What's going on? They're meeting the parents already?
Instantly, Ling Qiqi became unhappy.
"I..."
Ling Qiqi really wanted to refuse, but Ling Yi waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's fine too. It's not easy for just anyone to get a free meal at Old Liu's house, haha!"
"Brother, I..."
" Liu Yufei's grandfather is Liu Beishan, are you sure you don't want to go?"
" Marshal Liu?" Ling Qiqi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, are you going or not?"
"Go!"
That's Marshal Liu! If his friends knew, wouldn't they be green with envy?
Looking at Liu Yufei, Ling Qiqi's initial spirit vanished; there was no comparison.
She's beautiful and has connections; my adopted brother is just too amazing!
She suddenly remembered the series of events that had happened to Ling Yi recently, and her mind suddenly cleared up. No wonder her brother was unharmed even when he was being attacked by the entire internet; it turned out he had a powerful backer.
Thinking about it that way, it's highly likely that Liu Yufei played a significant role in her brother's troubles.
Well, there's nothing more to be sour about now.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang. The caller was Lin Hai, the former chairman and current acting director of the Slow Foot Platform.
"Boss, the contract for Da Yu Shen is ready." Lin Hai adopted a very humble attitude, even his tone sounded somewhat subservient.
The deployment of the Heavenly Guard and their swift, Ma Yi action truly terrified many people.
Director Wu of the Shuiwei City Inspection Bureau was detained by Heavenly Guard personnel at the airport.
Zheng Yang and Bai Mei were even escorted into an inspection vehicle by Heavenly Guard personnel in front of numerous media outlets.
And this is just the beginning. It's estimated that by the end of the day, countless people in Shuiwei City will be implicated. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a major reshuffle.
The mastermind behind all these events was Ling Yi. Lin Hai understood some of it, but there were some things he couldn't understand.
It's okay if you don't understand it, just know that Ling Yi is awesome.
"Hmm, I have high hopes for Da Yu Shen. Spread the word and tell those guilds to behave themselves. I don't care if they use fair and square methods, but if they resort to dirty tricks, I'll kill whoever makes a move."
The current Ling Yi exudes a bandit-like aura and is incredibly domineering.
"Yes, boss, don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger, I'll take care of it perfectly."
"By the way, boss, the company's board of directors wants to meet with you. How about we go out for a meal together?"
"Heh, I bet some people are worried about getting punished, right? Tell them to relax. I don't care about the shady things they did before, but from now on, they'll be completely Slow Foot, and only my voice will be allowed, understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Alright, that's it!"
Ling Yi hung up the phone and then dialed Da Yu Shen's number, which was answered almost instantly.
" Da Yu Shen, after you finish dealing with the contract today, come over to my place tomorrow. I'll prepare a few songs for you."
Da Yu Shen, who was eating noodles, spat it out and shouted, "Teacher Ling Yi, can I go over there now?"
Da Yu Shen felt that he was no longer just happy; he was practically flying.
It turns out Ling Yi wasn't joking last night; everything was true.
I have something to do today!
"Okay, I... well, you... you go ahead and get busy!" Da Yu Shen was already rambling incoherently.
Ling Yi hung up the phone, then called Fatty Dong again, asking him to find a good band to record a song for Da Yu Shen tomorrow, and once again reminding the fat guy to lose weight.
Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei stared Daidai at Ling Yi.
This was the first time Ling Qiqi had seen Ling Yi like this. Was this still the same bratty older brother she used to bully and argue with all the time?
Liu Yufei's eyes were bright, and Ling Yi's words, "From now on, Slow Foot, only my voice is allowed, understand?", although full of roguish charm, made Ling Yi really too cool.
"Um, is my brother usually like this?" Ling Qiqi asked softly.
Which way?
That's the kind of " Laozi in the World's Finest " attitude.
"Pfft, that's called strategic planning and overwhelming Haki." Liu Yufei was amused by Ling Qiqi's words.
"Tch, to me he looks like a complete scoundrel!"
Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way!
"Haha, that's exactly what I meant!"
"But he's still handsome!"
Looking at the two laughing and joking girls, Ling Yi was momentarily stunned. When did they become so close?
"I'm going to start writing; I'll probably be busy until around 11 PM."
Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei's eyes the Legend of the Condor Heroes. "Writing," they thought, "It must be about The Legend of the Condor Heroes. We're both really looking forward to the next part of the story."
Liu Yufei was initially a little embarrassed to peek, but Ling Qiqi didn't have such thoughts. She simply moved a stool over and lay down behind Ling Yi. Peeking? Not a chance.
Ling Yi didn't pay any attention.
Seeing this, Liu Yufei simply followed suit and moved a stool to sit on the other side of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi wanted to finish copying the novel as soon as possible. He always did things this way; once he decided on something, he had to finish it in one go, otherwise he would feel very uncomfortable.
Ling Yi typed very quickly; Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei could barely keep up with Ling Yi typing speed.
After the sixth chapter of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the exciting plot unfolds one after another.
The Gu Ling and Clever Huang Rong, the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar Hong Qigong, the ungrateful Wanyan Kang, and the devoted Mu Nianci...
Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei were so engrossed in watching that they didn't even notice that they were practically leaning on Ling Yi's shoulders.
This time, Ling Yi wrote up to the twelfth chapter in one go. He checked the time and it was almost 11:30.
After uploading the last chapter, Ling Yi stretched and put his arms out to the sides, which landed on the shoulders of Liu Yufei and Ling Qiqi, who were craning their necks to read the novel.
Ling Yi's expression froze instantly. Damn it, when did these two women...?
"Ahem, sorry!" Ling Yi and the other person quickly withdrew their hands.
Ling Qiqi was so engrossed in the plot that she didn't pay attention to this, but Liu Yufei was blushing bright red. She was so absorbed in watching that she almost pressed herself against Ling Yi.
"Ah, Yang Kang is a real scoundrel, actually recognizing a thief as his father!" Ling Qiqi said angrily.
"Hmm, hmm, Mu Nianci is so silly, and so devoted!" Liu Yufei quickly sat up straight and said in a serious tone.
Ling Yi coughed twice and was about to close the author's page the Acquired.
But Ling Qiqi stopped her, asking curiously, "Brother, let's see how much the reward is."
Ling Yi nodded; he also wanted to see the results.
After a long while, the three of them stared blankly at the amount of money donated in the author's backend, all somewhat incredulous.
Ling Yi and Ling Qiqi were both somewhat shocked; the data was truly frightening.
But Liu Yufei wasn't concerned about that; what she cared about was...
"Ugh, someone stole my number one spot on the leaderboard! How awful!"
Then, to the astonishment of Ling Yi and his sister, Liu Yufei directly donated Wu Bai, successfully returning to the top of the donation rankings.
"Brother, you've struck it rich!" Ling Qiqi said sweetly.
Ling Yi took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Small-scale, not even a small goal."
"How much is a small goal?" Ling Qiqi asked.
"One hundred million!"
Ling Qiqi tugged at her finger and said, "Brother, at this pace, it should take at most seven days to reach that goal."
Ling Yi: "..."
Just then, an electronic notification sounded in Ling Yi's mind...
