A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 494 People from Two Worlds
"No one can resist money, here it comes."

Upon hearing this, Leon immediately replied: "Should we go directly to the eastern mining area, or gather in the town?"

“Come directly and remember to dress nicely. There are quite a few reporters and newspapers here today,” Lewis added.

"Yeah." Leon responded and hung up the phone.

He then finished baking the last batch of pancakes, turned off the fire, washed his hands, and planted the coffee beans harvested yesterday in the field. Then he returned to the house, changed into new clothes, took the car keys, and drove the pickup truck towards the eastern mining area.

On the way, Lyon saw many cars heading in the same direction as him. This rare scene made Lyon realize that Pelican Town should be quite lively today.

However, he had no intention of participating in this for the entire day. After taking the money and cutting the ribbon, he still had to leave early. Today's original plan remained unchanged, and he still planned to stay in the mine for the entire day.

After passing through Pelican Town and passing by the library, Leon stopped the car and entered the library. He donated the Dwarven Scroll II and a tear crystal to Gunther, then got back in the car and continued to head towards the eastern mining area.

When they arrived near the Seagull Bridge, Leon saw how lively the mining area across the Seagull Bridge, which once belonged to the Joja family and now belonged to his own land, was.

After driving the car across the Seagull Bridge and parking it in an open space, Leon turned off the engine and got out of the car. He walked through the crowd gathered outside and squeezed into the circle.

Apart from Lewis and Olivia, the remaining faces in the circle were also quite familiar. They were basically the investors in the tent the day before yesterday.

Lyon's arrival was also noticed by the investors, who smiled at him and nodded as a greeting.

Leon didn't put on airs and responded to everyone's goodwill one by one. Then he shook hands with Olivia who was walking towards him. "Congratulations, congratulations. It seems that Ms. Olivia is a practical person. As soon as the contract was signed, she started preparing for construction."

"After all, summer is coming soon, and time is money, right?" Olivia joked.

Leon smiled and nodded, but didn't say much.

"I wonder if Mr. Leon has any plans after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If not, perhaps we can be interviewed together and then have dinner together?" Olivia took the initiative to speak when she saw that Leon didn't speak.

"No, I still have things to do. I'm only here to collect rent and witness the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Ms. Olivia's summer camp. I need to go back to work after that."

Lyon directly explained his purpose and subsequent arrangements.

Such a straightforward answer made Olivia stunned. It had been a long time since she had communicated with such a straightforward person. Olivia almost forgot how to deal with such a situation.

Fortunately, Olivia reacted quickly: "No problem, farm work is much more important than this."

After saying that, Olivia called over the young man with a slicked-back hair who was in a daze not far away and whispered a few words in his ear. The young man immediately nodded and left. A moment later, he came to Olivia with a checkbook.

Olivia immediately took out a pen, wrote on the check, and handed it to Leon.

“50WG is too large to carry with you, so you can only pay it by check. Mr. Leon can go to the Qunxing Bank in Zuzu City to withdraw the money.”

"Okay." Although it was a bit troublesome, Leon could understand Olivia's operation. After all, no one would carry so much money. However, Gale, the investment representative of the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce, who saw this scene, came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Leon, this troublesome matter, let me help you solve it."

"How can Mr. Gale help?" Lyon looked at Gale and asked back.

"Mr. Leon, have you forgotten the card in your hand?" Gail reminded.

Upon hearing this, Leon took out the gift card issued by the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce from his backpack and held it between his fingers. Under the sunlight, the card reflected a purple luster.

"This is it!" Olivia covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the appearance of the gift card.

Gale nodded without surprise. "If you trust the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Lyon, you can hand over the check to me. I will have the headquarters deposit 50WG directly into your card, saving you the trouble of going to the bank."

"Of course I trust the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. It's great to have such a convenient thing." Hearing this, Lyon simply handed the check in his hand to Gale.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Leon." Gale took the check, then took out his cell phone and made a call. After a few words, the call was hung up, and Gale said to Leon.

"50WG has been transferred to the card. If Mr. Lyon wants to verify, I can provide a photo of the transfer record."

“No need, I trust the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce.” Leon waved his hand and then took the gift card back: “Thank you.”

"Mr. Lyon, you are too polite. This is just a small thing that can be done with just a little effort. As an important partner of our Far Travel Chamber of Commerce, we will provide you with convenience as much as possible." Gale explained with a smile.

After the pleasantries, Lyon walked towards Lewis on the side. He was the most familiar with Lewis among those present, so who else could he go to if not Lewis?

And Olivia spoke in Lyon, and couldn’t help but ask Gale: “What Mr. Lyon just took out, is that the legendary club membership card?”

"Then you have to ask Mr. Lyon yourself. I'm just a businessman from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce." Gale replied with a smile.

Although there was no affirmative answer, this answer was considered as a tacit agreement, which made Olivia feel mixed emotions.

She had seen such a card in the hands of a certain important figure whom she did not even dare to look directly at. Such important figures, whom Olivia had to look up to, all attached great importance to this card and were proud to hold it.

After much inquiry, Olivia learned that this card not only served as a bank card, but was also a kind of pass leading to an unknown but very special club. No one knew what the club was like, but Olivia knew one thing.

That is, the people holding this card are undoubtedly not the ones at the top of the pyramid of human society.

Thinking of this, Olivia smiled bitterly and shook her head. She originally thought that she had been polite enough to Leon, but Leon's attitude towards her was lukewarm, which made her feel a little resentful. Now that she witnessed the membership card that Leon took out, she understood the difference between her and Leon.

At the same time, it also made Olivia put aside some of her unnecessary thoughts. After all, they were in completely different worlds. Being able to maintain the relationship between neighbors and just nodding acquaintances already made Olivia very happy.

　There's no way this old woman will be included in the family bucket package. Give up, brothers. By the way, I plan to assign her to Clint. Do you have any objections? If not, I'll do it. If so, I'll ignore her. She's only here to give money.
