The three foreigners, led by Evelyn Frank, could not believe that Cheng Xiaofan had built such a perfect, artistic bamboo villa in just over two months.
Under Cheng Xiaofan's guidance, they proceeded to the third floor.
Like the second floor, the third floor was also for accommodation, with each living space featuring an en-suite bathroom, including a living room, bedroom, and bathroom.
Although no electrical appliances had been installed yet, the positions for all necessary fixtures had been reserved.
On the uppermost level of the attic, a pavilion was set up, offering a panoramic view of the entire Bai Mang Lake.
"Mr. Cheng, may we stay here for one night?" Evelyn Frank asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Evelyn Frank was not only captivated by the scenery but, more importantly, the bamboo villa seemed to have ensnared his soul.
He felt that having come all the way to Bai Mang Lake, spending a night here would be an exceptionally perfect experience.
Furthermore, he sensed a peculiar spiritual aura pervading the entire place.
He seemed to vaguely feel that this spiritual aura was something Cheng Xiaofan had created.
It was this spiritual aura that had given rise to those magical animals.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded generously upon hearing his request and said, "Alright, tonight, I will invite all of you to have a simple taste of the exquisite giant lobster!"
He then called his mother to inform her that he wouldn't be returning tonight and would be staying at Bai Mang Lake, heading back early the next morning.
The deep-sea lobsters from Bai Mang Lake naturally contained spiritual energy. Cheng Xiaofan had also deliberately released some spiritual energy into the pot while boiling the lobster sections.
Boiling the lobsters in clear water without any seasoning, a rich and unique aroma of freshness burst forth as the pot came to a boil, instantly mesmerizing Evelyn Frank, Harrigan, and Theresa.
As they tasted the fresh, succulent lobster, with every bite, they felt an overwhelming sense of happiness in their lives.
They could not imagine that such a delicacy existed in the mortal world!
How could such delicious deep-sea lobsters grow in a freshwater lake!
If the lobsters cooked here could be sold on the busiest streets of Great Britain, even the toothless old ladies on eighteen streets would be so tempted that they would cry.
However, they also recalled the meals they had at Cheng Xiaofan's house at noon; every dish had been an explosion of flavor for their taste buds.
Moreover!
If they tasted carefully!
It seemed that these dishes all possessed that mysterious active substance.
Although not as potent as the Premium Happy Wine, they could still feel a trace of it.
Thinking this, a twelve-level storm raged in their hearts.
One land nourishes one people, but this Cheng Xiaofan seemed to be able to create a magical land at will, bringing happiness to countless people.
At least, that's what Evelyn Frank thought.
"Mr. Cheng, I hope I can become your closest friend, just like Harrigan!" Evelyn Frank said sincerely to Cheng Xiaofan at this moment.
Cheng Xiaofan's heart stirred slightly.
Were his relations with Harrigan really that solid?
To be precise, among these three, he had only known Cheng Xiaofan for a slightly longer time than the other two.
In essence, their relationship was still maintained by money.
At the world-renowned wine auction in Haicheng, if it hadn't been for Harrigan's instant profit of fifty billion, who would have paid attention to ordinary folks like him.
"Mr. Evelyn Frank, I already consider you a good friend!" To avoid disappointing Evelyn Frank, Cheng Xiaofan immediately stated his attitude.
Ultimately, Cheng Xiaofan was considering the one hundred billion that had been transferred to his bank account.
Furthermore, he saw boundless "monetary potential" in Evelyn Frank and naturally did not mind having one more friend.
Upon hearing this, Evelyn Frank became extremely excited and said, "Mr. Cheng, I will be returning to my country tomorrow and would like to purchase twenty lobsters from you to take back."
"How about this, I will offer two million for each Chinese exquisite giant lobster. If you agree, I will immediately have forty million transferred to your bank account!"
A lobster sold for eighty thousand at Pin Wei Xuan.
And it instantly became two million in Evelyn Frank's hands?
Indeed, foreigners were rich and foolish!
No one encountering such a good deal would refuse.
"Alright, for the sake of friendship, I will sell you twenty deep-sea lobsters!"
Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that Evelyn Frank wanted these lobsters not for consumption but for research.
In fact, it didn't matter what purpose the buyer had for the lobsters, as long as the price was satisfactory to Cheng Xiaofan, he was happy to make the sale.
After dinner, Cheng Xiaofan arranged a room for each of the three foreigners to rest.
While the foreigners were resting, Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling walked hand in hand along the lakeshore under the bright moonlight, chatting.
"Xiaofan, you mentioned earlier that Evelyn Frank spent one hundred billion to purchase the formula for producing Premium Happy Wine from you. Aren't you worried they will replicate this wine and become our competitor?"
Bai Yiling had heard of the Life Science Research Institute of Great Britain. She knew they not only had substantial funding but also the support of world-class scientific talent.
By giving the formula for Happy Wine to Evelyn Frank, it was highly likely they could replicate it soon.
Cheng Xiaofan naturally understood Bai Yiling's concerns.
He smiled faintly and said, "With my formula, and their world-class technology, it's indeed not difficult for them to replicate Premium Happy Wine!"
"However, if I had refused, they might have resorted to extreme measures to obtain the formula, like Sakuragi Kazuo from Sakura Country."
"Since that's the case, why not just go with the flow and transfer the formula to them? After all, one hundred billion is too tempting for me."
"One point I can clarify is that they can replicate my Happy Wine, but they cannot replicate the soul of Happy Wine, which is the so-called active substance they believe it to be."
"Therefore, at any time, the Happy Wine they produce will never be our competitor!"
Hearing this, Bai Yiling couldn't help but give her man a flirtatious look and playfully chided, "Ah, so you're quite wicked too! They spent so much money, only to buy loneliness!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "You can't blame me for this. It's like Zhou Yu outsmarting Huang Gai – one willing to strike, the other willing to be beaten. It's a mutual agreement."
"Aren't all business dealings just playing these kinds of games?"
"Since Evelyn Frank traveled all the way from afar to Bamboo Creek Village to play this game with me, it would be impolite of me not to join him, right?"
"..." Alright, I admit you're handsome, and everything you say makes sense!
With such a glib-tongued boyfriend, what else could Bai Yiling say!
