Chen Yang didn’t choose to take the shuttle bus or high-speed train; he planned to drive his van to the provincial city.
Although the journey might be a little dull, driving a van is more convenient. Otherwise, finding a car for travel in the provincial city would be sowhat inconvenient.
"Chen Yang, send a ssage when you arrive. I’ll keep an eye on the Fuling Village coal mine issue for you. If anything cos up, I’ll let you know imdiately."
Before leaving, Wang Jingman seriously spoke to Chen Yang about the Fuling Village coal mine issue.
Currently, the coal mine is what he is most concerned about.
"Alright, then I’ll be on my way. If anything cos up, just give a call anyti."
"Okay, okay."
Wang Jingman nodded, and then Chen Yang set off in his car.
After a journey of three to four hours, he arrived at the provincial city.
By the ti he reached the provincial city, it was already dark and ti for dinner.
After thinking for a bit, he decided not to go directly to the girl but first took out his phone to contact Lisa.
"Hello, who’s calling?"
Lisa hadn’t spoken with Chen Yang over the phone before; she only had his number saved and didn’t know it was him calling.
"It’s ."
"Chen Yang?"
Lisa imdiately recognized Chen Yang’s voice, and her mood turned pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, it’s . I’ve just arrived in the provincial city today. Are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Right now? Sure, I’m not doing anything at the mont. Where are you? I’ll co find you." Lisa agreed imdiately.
"I’m currently far from the city center. How about you choose a place, and we et there? I don’t know which restaurants are special here in the provincial city," Chen Yang suggested after thinking for a mont.
If Lisa cos to find him, they still need to choose a restaurant.
Instead of doing that, they might as well choose a restaurant first and then head there together.
"Okay, I’ll send you a location, and we can go together."
Lisa agreed with a smile, then hung up and sent a location to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took out his phone and looked at it carefully, finding that it was a high-end Western restaurant.
"Why does everyone like to eat Western food?"
Seeing the Western restaurant, Chen Yang felt a bit unappetized but didn’t say much.
eting Lisa wasn’t just for dinner; he mainly wanted to understand the situation of the so-called auction.
His visit to the provincial city had three main purposes.
First, it was to sign for the girl and learn about their school’s research.
Second, to join Lisa at the so-called cultivation world auction and understand the situation there.
Third, accept Ma Jiantao’s invitation to visit the secret bureau.
He planned to tackle these three tasks one by one, without interfering with each other.
After studying the route to the restaurant, Chen Yang decided not to think too much about it and imdiately followed the navigation towards the city center.
The span of the provincial city is large, and the flow of people and vehicles is very high.
For a distance of about twenty kiloters, it took Chen Yang nearly an hour to reach the restaurant Lisa had sent.
After finding a spot to park, he stepped into the restaurant.
The provincial city was indeed the provincial city.
The upscale features of this Western restaurant were far more sophisticated than those in a county town.
The restaurant boasted high-end foreign decor and gentle and elegant foreign music, creating a strong sense of atmosphere throughout.
As he entered the restaurant, he scanned his surroundings, noticing that most of the diners were formally dressed and composed.
"Over here."
While Chen Yang was surveying the scene, Lisa waved to him with a smile from a corner of the restaurant.
Seeing her, he imdiately walked over with a smile.
Today, Lisa wore an off-shoulder dress. With her golden hair and blue eyes, along with her tall and slender physique, she was an absolute beauty.
Compared to the hiking and sports attire he’d seen her in before, she carried a more alluring charisma.
"Chen Yang, you sure are slow. I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour."
As soon as Chen Yang approached, Lisa remarked with a grin.
"Traffic was terrible; it took an hour for a twenty-kiloter trip." Chen Yang apologetically smiled, then naturally sat down opposite Lisa.
"Lisa, have you ordered yet?" Chen Yang asked after taking his seat.
"Not yet. You’re the guest; how could I order first?" Lisa playfully teased Chen Yang, not minding the traffic delay.
"Haha, you’re too polite." Chen Yang chuckled and imdiately raised his hand to call a waiter.
"Sir, Madam, what would you like to order?"
Politely, the waiter approached and inquired.
Chen Yang didn’t speak, choosing instead to take the nu and have a look.
Finding the nu full of authentic Western dishes, he lacked appetite.
Being sowhat unaccustod to these dishes, he thought the places he’d visited with Li Han and Yang Ruoxi were okay, but this restaurant seed too formal and its offerings too bland, which dulled his appetite.
"Lisa, why don’t you order?"
After seeing nothing appealing, Chen Yang handed the nu to Lisa.
"What’s wrong? Isn’t it to your taste?" Lisa chuckled lightly, asking as she took and flipped through the nu.
Chen Yang shook his head with a smile: "A bit, but I’m not picky with food. Just order anything for ."
"Alright." Without further ado, Lisa ordered two steaks, two servings of caviar, and authentic foie gras from the waiter.
"Madam, is that all you need?"
After jotting it down, the waiter inquired again.
"Hmm... How about so wine?" Lisa turned to Chen Yang.
"No need for wine; just so beverages will do." Chen Yang replied.
"Alright then, just so drinks, please. Thank you." Lisa instructed the waiter.
"Certainly, sir and madam. Please wait a mont."
The waiter nodded with a smile, then collected the nu and left.
"Chen Yang, why did you co today? The auction is tomorrow night."
Once the waiter left, Lisa engaged Chen Yang in conversation.
She knew Chen Yang was looking for her because of the auction.
But coming now seed a bit early.
"I know it’s tomorrow night, but I have things to do today and tomorrow during the day, so I ca early," Chen Yang replied with a smile.
Upon hearing that he had other things to do, Lisa understood.
"I see. So, what’s the reason for looking for then?" Lisa asked curiously.
"I’m here to learn about the auction. I’m completely in the dark about it. Before going, you should explain the situation to and any precautions, right?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Oh, true."
Lisa realized that Chen Yang’s concerns were valid.
Attending the auction requires so prior guidance to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Actually, the auction is quite formal. In a way, it’s connected to our secret bureau and is a legitimate institution."
"Those attending the auction are usually cultivators! Furthermore, these cultivators don’t differentiate between factions or good and evil."
"Once inside the auction, no matter what conflicts there are outside, there cannot be any conflicts inside the auction. It’s crucial to heed this point."
