CHAPTER 1821 A CHANCE
Lance was very anxious and hesitated several times before finally choosing to board the plane with Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen to head towards Shudu.
Heaven...
This was really heaven!
The moment he followed them into the city, Lance's eyes started glowing like a wolf's.
"It smells good! It smells so good!"
The fragrance wafting from the food stalls that flanked both sides of the street made Lance feel like his soul was dancing.
He had never seen roadside stalls before. He used to either go to high class restaurants or ate the food that his family chefs prepared. His family never ate anything that wasn't expensive or classy enough.
But on the cruise, the instant noodles from Lin Yuzhen had opened the world of his tastebuds to discover new horizons.
"Could I change some money with you?"
Lance didn't have a lot of cash, and they were all foreign currency. These small stalls didn't accept credit card either.
He could only smile awkwardly and ask to change money with Lin Yuzhen.
He knew it was pointless asking Jiang Ning.
"It's alright, I'll just lend you money." Lin Yuzhen took her phone out and scanned the QR code of the small stall and paid the stall owner with the press of a button on her phone. Lance was stunned by this sight.
"This..." This belongs to - ©.
"This is how we pay for things around here," said Lin Yuzhen. "We're going into the cashless era."
Lance took a deep breath. He had heard of such things before, but this was the first time he was experiencing it for himself.
This seemed very high tech, but it was commonplace even on the small streets.
"The integrated circuits that our company is developing will be in line with all these products," said Lin Yuzhen proudly. "It will help everyone to enjoy greater convenience in their lives, make the world a better, more environmentally friendly and a safer place."
Lance nodded and gave a thumbs up, but his eyes were looking at the stall owner. "It's yummy! It's yummy!"
This huge fried dough twist was both sweet and tangy, and the sesame seeds on it were very fragrant.
Lance wasn't listening to Lin Yuzhen and was filled with nothing but the fragrance of the food around him.
He just continued eating as they walked along and Lance kept exclaiming excitedly. This was really heaven!
Tve suddenly discovered a new interest of mine," said Lance with a smile. "There's too much good food here!"
He had finally stumbled upon heaven.
"I'm going to eat everything in China within a year!" Lance laughed loudly.
He had no idea that three years later, he would still be in Shudu and wouldn't even have covered half the city.
BURP!
After having his fill, Lance sat on a bench along the street and rubbed his stomach in an uncouth manner. He didn't care about looking refined anymore.
No aristocrats were walking around here anyway, and nobody cared about how he looked.
"You said that your company is developing integrated circuits?" Lance suddenly thought about what Lin Yuzhen said earlier.
"That's right." Lin Yuzhen passed him a bottle of water. "Have you heard of Lin
Group?”
Lance looked at Jiang Ning and shook his head. "Isn't his surname Jiang?"
As far as he could see, Jiang Ning was very powerful, so the company ought to belong to him. Why was it Lin Group and not Jiang Group?
"I work for him," Lin Yuzhen laughed.
She glanced at Jiang Ning and realized she never thought of it this way. Even though it was called Lin Group, everyone in the company knew that Jiang Ning was the real boss.
She was the CEO, but she was working for Jiang Ning as well.
"That's really incredible, it really is," said Lance. "I didn't think that the technology in China had reached this stage. This is even more advanced than any other country."
He looked around and noticed that everyone just needed a phone to go places.
There was no need to carry any cards or documents. The phone could do everything!
