I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 192

That tall, beautiful woman couldn’t help but swallow.

The two of them casually mentioned “only thirty million” and “coming up with ten million within a month,” which made her head spin.

She was just a small model, and had only just hooked up with the other party less than an hour ago.

Originally, she had only intended to sneak into the famous Atlantis Hotel for a few nights, but she never expected to catch such a big fish.

All of a sudden, her gaze towards the middle-aged man changed.

The middle-aged man slapped his thigh and said with deep regret, “Young man, you’re absolutely right. It’s truly a case of being able to afford to buy it but not being able to afford to use it. When I bought the island, I didn’t think that much. I just had a brain fart and spent the money to buy it. It was only after I bought it that I realized how much money I’d have to spend later, and developing an island is incredibly troublesome, with all sorts of that are annoying to death.”

Lin Xian couldn’t help but laugh, “Uncle, are you from the mining province?”

“Young man, you have good judgment!” The middle-aged man praised.

No need to guess, as soon as this uncle opened his mouth, he had that rich-tycoon vibe from the mining province!

No exaggeration, when it comes to the level of tycoons in China, the mining province ranks first, and no one dares to claim second, not even the demolition households in Yangcheng have to step aside.

Although the total assets of tycoons in the mining province may not rank high in the country, and they can’t compare with those bigshots in e-commerce and real estate, they do have a strong cash flow!

To give a simple example, a big shot in the real estate industry might have total assets of 10 billion, but the liquid capital they can actually use might be less than 50 million.

On the other hand, a tycoon from the mining province might only have total assets of 500 million, but the cash they can use could be as much as 300 to 400 million.

Truly, they have so much money they don’t know where to spend it!

Too much cash to spend, what to do?

Buy, buy, buy.

Houses, cars, women… This guy in front of me is even crazier, he directly bought an island, no idea who conned him at the time.

The middle-aged man had a very good personality and asked with a smile, “Young man, what’s your name?”

“Lin Xian!”

Lin Xian nodded slightly.

“My name is Zheng Shuai!”

Really handsome?

That’s way too immodest!

Who praises themselves like that?

Not only Lin Xian, but even Zhang Mengyao and the tall beauty couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, then covered their mouths and chuckled.

Seeing this, Zheng Shuai wasn’t angry, and happily pulled out a business card from his pants and handed it over.

Taking the business card, Lin Xian quickly scanned it.

Chairman of Jufeng Mining Co., Ltd., Zheng Shuai!

“Young man, I won’t disturb you young couple anymore. Let’s get together sometime.”

Zheng Shuai waved his hand, put his arm around the tall beauty, and turned to leave.

Watching their backs, Zhang Mengyao chuckled, “This uncle is quite interesting.”

“Indeed!”

Lin Xian nodded and tucked the business card into his pocket.

Truly wealthy big shots are generally like this; they smile at everyone and rarely engage in any show-off or face-slapping scenarios.

In fact, those who can reach this level are all astute individuals.

At this level, they understand the importance of connections, so unless there’s a deep-seated grudge, they won’t easily offend people. Instead, they’ll try to make friends and expand their network and circle.

The two held hands and strolled along the beach.

After a few steps, Lin Xian felt uncomfortable underfoot, so he simply took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the sand.

Seeing this, Zhang Mengyao also followed suit and took off her shoes.

“The sand here is so soft, it’s quite comfortable to walk on.”

With each step, the fine, white, soft sand would ooze out from between her toes, a very peculiar sensation.

Zhang Mengyao was like a child who had discovered a new toy, smiling very happily.

After walking for a while, she suddenly had an idea: “Lin Xian, how about we go catch some seafood? If we catch some, we can barbecue them for lunch.”

“Where would we find seafood here?” Lin Xian raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Mengyao said seriously, “Why not? I saw online that many people just walk around the beach with a small bucket and can easily catch big crabs and fish.”

Lin Xian shook his head and laughed, “Honey, they go to deserted beaches. We’re walking on an artificial beach right now.”

“You’re lying!”

Zhang Mengyao pointed at a small crab, the size of a fingernail, on the sand ahead, her expression triumphant, “You said there were no crabs, so what’s that?”

Fiddler crab!

Is this even considered seafood?

Not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Lin Xian pouted and said helplessly, “Alright, wait for me here, I’ll go buy a small bucket and a shovel.”

With that, he quickly walked towards the rows of shops along the beach.

Within a few minutes, Lin Xian returned to the beach, carrying a small plastic bucket and a shovel.

Zhang Mengyao happily took the shovel and squatted down on the sand with great enthusiasm to dig for crabs.

…

Eleven o’clock in the morning.

Zhang Mengyao finally gave up on the idea of catching seafood.

She had caught quite a few fiddler crabs, at least twenty of them, constantly crawling around in the small bucket.

Lin Xian glanced at the plastic bucket and teased, “Honey, how many dishes are you planning to make for lunch?”

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

Zhang Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and put the fiddler crabs from the small bucket back onto the beach.

Clapping the fine sand off her hands, she stood up and said, “Let’s go, time for lunch!”

Lin Xian asked, “No barbecue?”

“Let’s wait until it’s cooler in the evening. It’s too hot right now!”

Indeed.

As noon approached, the sun became exceptionally scorching, and the ultraviolet rays were very strong. Even though they had applied sunscreen beforehand, they still felt a slight stinging sensation on their skin.

Driving the beach buggy, the two returned to the hotel and then headed straight for the Bread Street Kitchen & Bar restaurant.

Lin Xian was very interested in this restaurant opened by Gordon Ramsay.

He had watched his shows, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “MasterChef,” back in high school.

The benefits of being a VIP were evident at this moment.

No reservations or waiting in line were needed; they could dine anytime.

Stepping into the restaurant, Lin Xian was slightly amazed by the decor.

The decoration and layout were very retro, designed completely in the style of an 18th-century British restaurant, while also incorporating a modern feel in some details.

Just then, a blonde, blue-eyed waitress came forward and spoke in fluent Chinese, “Welcome to BSK Restaurant, I’m Annie. Do you two have a reservation?”

Lin Xian smiled slightly and flashed the black room card in front of her.

Seeing this, Annie raised an eyebrow and smiled, “This way, please!”
