Cao Xueyi said, "No, they're not wealthy second-generation, but official second-generation, not easy to mess with."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I didn't really mind that. But there's something I'm really curious about. What was that earlier? Was my joke not funny?"

Cao Xueyi said, "To be honest, it really wasn't funny."

Ling Zhenfei said with curiosity, "But you still laughed, just a bit slower. And why did Zheng Feng suddenly lose his temper?"

Cao Xueyi said, "That's why I laughed earlier because Zheng Feng doesn't have hair, and what he's wearing on his head now is a wig."

Ling Zhenfei finally understood why Zheng Feng suddenly got angry. Apparently, his joke about young monks and old monks touched Zheng Feng's sore spot.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I really didn't expect that. It's quite amusing."

Cao Xueyi said, "Looks like you'll need to be careful when you go out in the future. Watch out for that guy retaliating from behind."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I really don't take him seriously."

Their conversation had already successfully attracted many people's attention, and suddenly someone walked over to them.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, Miss Cao, our young master invites you to dine in the private room."

Ling Zhenfei and Cao Xueyi were slightly surprised, not knowing who this young master was.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who is your young master?"

The person said, "Our young master said that once you get there, you'll naturally find out."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, this is a private dining, we don't intend to disturb your young master, so please convey my apologies."

The person's face visibly darkened, but he said nothing and turned to leave.

Cao Xueyi was somewhat surprised and said, "Who is that? He knows both you and me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I can only say that well-intentioned people don't come, those who come aren't well-intentioned."

"Do you know who it is?" Cao Xueyi asked in surprise.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I know."

Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense can cover the entire building, so he naturally knows who the people in the private room are.

Just then, they heard the sound of footsteps and saw someone walking towards them.

At this time, Cao Xueyi saw the person coming and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. It turned out to be Ma Long.

At this moment, Ma Long was all smiles, not at all like someone who had already broken ties with Ling Zhenfei.

"Mr. Ling and Miss Cao, how romantic, dining at such a scenic place, truly charming."

Ling Zhenfei and Cao Xueyi indeed were at a nice spot, a balcony, at the corner of the building at the foot of the mountain.

Although it seemed very romantic, the downside was that everyone could see them clearly when going up or down the stairs.

Ling Zhenfei said, "We just wanted to check out the street scenery, truly unexpected that Young Master Ma is here too."

Ling Zhenfei still remembered Ma Long hiring someone to assassinate him. That person didn't manage to kill him, instead, Ling Zhenfei gained a Concealment Ring.

Probably Ma Long now knows that Ling Zhenfei isn't easy to deal with, yet it's unclear what he's up to this time.

Ma Long, without courtesy, waved his hand, and a subordinate brought over a chair, then Ma Long sat down next to them.

Ling Zhenfei was quite annoyed, this meal that was supposed to be enjoyable turned into an awkward situation for him.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Does Young Master Ma always like to show up uninvited?"

Ma Long said to Ling Zhenfei and Cao Xueyi, "That's not right, we're old friends, isn't it expected for old friends to sit together and chat?"

Ling Zhenfei remained calm, Cao Xueyi didn't say anything either, but the meal itself seemed very awkward.

Ma Long suddenly seemed to understand and said, "Oh my, look at me, am I disturbing your date?"

Cao Xueyi said, "We're just having a casual lunch, don't say nonsense."

Ma Long said, "That's good, that's good. I heard your shop's renovation is progressing well, almost done?"

Cao Xueyi said, "Rest assured, Young Master Ma, I'll definitely send you a big invitation when we open. Don't forget to attend our opening ceremony!"

Ma Long said, "Definitely, definitely."

After speaking, Ma Long looked towards Ling Zhenfei and spoke, "Mr. Ling, haven't we discussed this more than once? I'm wondering if we still have a chance to cooperate?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "To be honest, having more friends means more opportunities, I certainly want to cooperate with you. But cooperation means mutual benefit.

You should put aside your status and stop thinking you're superior; only then can we collaborate well."

Ma Long said, "You make a good point; previously, I indeed overthought things. Why don't we cooperate again, I invest in your Xi Shan Group, and help you go public."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Going public is unnecessary, I don't plan on that. Besides, my Xi Shan Group is running well, why seek investment?"

Ma Long said, "Mr. Ling, you clearly don't know much about investment and the market, thinking one person can manage the company smoothly is too difficult; necessary investment is a must."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I truly believe that, but Mr. Ma has already missed the best investment phase. Instead, your subordinate Mr. Zhang Kang invested a bit himself and earned quite a dividend by year's end."

Ma Long said, "I invested in many things, and rarely missed, this villa can be said to be a blemish in my career."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I apologize then, Xi Shan Restaurant Group truly doesn't need investment. Our Xi Shan Group has intentionally achieved its own sustainable operation.

But now I want to start a new company, do you have any interest in participating?"

Honestly, Ling Zhenfei doesn't want to estrange relations with Ma Long, because in a place like the Capital City, his influence is indeed very large. Having more friends means more paths.

Besides, Ma Long's father is hailed as the richest man in Huaxia, so his influence is naturally very powerful.

And the external impression of Ma Long is that a tiger father doesn't have any weak sons. At the time, Ma Long's father gave him one billion in funds to play with, and Ma Long invested around, now his net worth is quite considerable.

Ma Long, just as he said, has very sharp insight, investing in many emerging industries that show upward trends.

Ma Long said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you know there's an island called Moergawa in the Pacific Ocean?"

Ma Long said, "I've been there, the ancestors of the people there were Huaxia People long ago."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's right, I want to develop that place, establish it as an international tourist island, attracting both Huaxia People and people from all over the world to travel there."

Ma Long laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Ling, you make it sound so simple, as if the island is yours, you want to develop it and they'll let you?"
