Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment. Apart from the Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang, he had invested in restaurants in Modu International Hospital Imperial City and Provincial City as well.

The Xi Shan Restaurant in Modu is managed by Jiang Hui. Ling Zhenfei highly appreciates Jiang Hui's individual abilities; she is someone who strives to excel no matter what she does.

Having someone like her manage the Xi Shan Restaurant is undoubtedly the right choice. Plus, with Guo Jia working for fame rather than profit, success comes easily.

The restaurant in the Capital City is entrusted to Cao Xueyi, which can be considered a risky move.

Because in the Capital City, Ling Zhenfei has too many people to deal with; not only does he have competitors like Ma Long to contend with, but he also needs to be wary of Cao Qinglin's cunning calculations.

The reason Ling Zhenfei let Cao Xueyi manage the restaurant is largely out of necessity, combined with some understanding of Cao Xueyi.

Cao Xueyi is definitely not her father's obedient daughter; she is somewhat rebellious and still a bit restless.

She has considered making a career, but has suffered from a lack of opportunities. Now that Ling Zhenfei has handed over the management of the restaurant to Cao Xueyi, perhaps Cao Qinglin would hesitate to interfere with the restaurant.

However, Ling Zhenfei is still slightly worried because he doesn't know if Cao Qinglin and Cao Xueyi might team up to swindle him. If that were the case, he would be ruined.

The Provincial City restaurant is handed over to Luo Juan, which is probably Ling Zhenfei's most confident investment since it is the closest to Binyang. Additionally, Luo Juan is indeed capable.

Luo Juan is a strong woman with years of business experience. Having someone like her manage the restaurant gives Ling Zhenfei confidence.

But the property in the Provincial City comes from Fengming Group, and Qin Lan is now under his control, feeling surely not very pleased, potentially posing challenges for Ling Zhenfei.

So, the Provincial City restaurant does have some issues, forcing Ling Zhenfei to be cautious.

Returning to Beth's side, Beth was already organizing her materials, indicating it would take some time to complete everything.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei return, Beth seems a bit crestfallen.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so down?"

Beth said, "Originally, my plan was to leave here and go to Paris for an international food festival with European prices, but now I'm reluctant to leave."

"Isn't there anything on the Food Street that you find memorable?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Beth shook her head and said, "You can't say there's nothing that interests me. I've attended several food festivals as an invitee. Some foods appeal to me, but after eating here today, I don't want to leave."

"So you're feeling a bit down?" Ling Zhenfei asked after understanding the reason.

"Yes, that's exactly why I'm feeling very down," Beth said.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I wonder if you've heard of a phrase called 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'?"

Beth shook her head and said, "What's that supposed to mean? I'm not familiar with it."

Ling Zhenfei explained, "It's about the relationship between men and women. Even if a couple is deeply in love, staying together all the time can get tiresome, so finding opportunities to be apart for a while is beneficial.

When they meet again after being apart, the relationship will feel as fresh and exciting as if they've just been newlyweds."

Beth suddenly realized, "You mean, distance makes the heart grow fonder, right?"

"Exactly, that's the idea. It's the same with dining; the dishes at Xi Shan Restaurant are indeed delicious, but if you eat them every day, you'll get tired of them. So, taking a break means that when you come back, you can rediscover the feeling from the first time you tasted them."

Beth looked at Ling Zhenfei in surprise, "I'll listen to you. After eating here for two days, I'll go to Europe, attend the Food Street festival, and then return."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "If you truly find the cuisine at Xi Shan Restaurant delicious, please do some promotion."

Beth laughed, "Of course! I'm not here for three days for nothing; I'll definitely make a good strategy for Xi Shan Restaurant, give a detailed introduction, and then bring it to Paris."

"Thank you very much, I'm truly grateful."

After chatting with Beth for a while, Ling Zhenfei went off to handle his own affairs.

This time, Ling Zhenfei had many things to take care of; he first went to the room where he refined elixirs.

The room was stocked with many herbs Jiang Hui had brought back from Spirit Mountain, and since he didn't know how long he'd be staying in Japan, Ling Zhenfei needed to prepare in advance.

The partnership with Ji Mei's company was already established, and now Ling Zhenfei's herbs were in high demand, with no inventory left, so he needed to refine more.

To avoid owing too much to Mei Ji, which would make others consider the company unreliable.

He spent a lot of time refining elixirs, mainly focusing on Beauty Pills, as Xuantian Immortal Water was just a simple bottling process.

After finishing everything, he packed them up, wrote the mailing address, and had Yang Zixuan handle the postal delivery.

After completing all tasks, it was already very late, and Ling Zhenfei stepped out of the small house, clueless about where to go next.

Ling Zhenfei still felt a bit lost as he was about to go to Japan, uncertain about what awaited him.

He thought of many people to visit while back in Binyang.

Ling Zhenfei took a taxi to Liu Bingying's house, where he hadn't been for a long time. He wondered how Liu Bingying was doing now.

Since it was quite late, Ling Zhenfei used his spare key to quietly unlock the door. The room's main lights were off, with only two small lamps illuminated.

Ling Zhenfei knew Liu Bingying was resting and wanted to surprise her. His Divine Sense enveloped the entire room, instantly locating Liu Bingying's position.

Curiously, Liu Bingying wasn't in Xiao Ke's room but was in a separate room.

After pinpointing Liu Bingying with his Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei quickly realized she was holding a photo of them together, staring at it for a long time.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly stunned; Liu Bingying could be considered his first woman, an unfortunate one, who developed feelings for him under his support.

Ling Zhenfei's feelings towards Liu Bingying were quite special. It's important to know that Liu Bingying was now a child's mother, and her child had already grown up, understanding many things.

Every time Ling Zhenfei saw Liu Bingying taking Xiao Ke to school alone, he felt a deep sense of sorrow, wishing he could give Liu Bingying a home, though he couldn't manage it.
