"Welcome, welcome!"

Upon hearing Yan Ziming's shout, Yuanyuan immediately ran out of the cubicle, muttering to herself in surprise, "That voice sounds familiar..."

When she saw the two sisters in the store, she exclaimed in surprise: "Ah—!!! It's Sister Zimo and Sister Qianxue!"

"Long time no see, Yuanyuan~~"

Ye Qianxue affectionately patted Yuanyuan's head, and Yuanyuan comfortably closed her eyes. Then, she excitedly asked, "Are Qianye and Ziqing from the Civilization Cup your names?!"

Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue exchanged a glance and nodded: "Yes, but how did you know, Yuanyuan?"

"Hehe, I always feel that you guys look a lot like the people on TV."

In fact, many people have already suspected that Ziqing is Yan Zimo. This is not only true for high-ranking officials in various countries, but also for ordinary people.

The root cause is that Yan Ziming didn't wear a mask while fighting the mutated species in the Seventh District because he wanted to look cool.

Fortunately, the battlefield was extremely chaotic at the time, and Yan Ziming moved quickly, so even some of the Chinese contestants were able to see her true face.

Even if few people see it, it will still spread. Some independent media outlets have already obtained some reliable information and are about to post it online.

However, their posts were mysteriously deleted as soon as they were published, or they simply failed to pass the review, as if some mysterious force was controlling them.

This is why Yan Ziming is still able to live a peaceful life.

After chatting with Yuanyuan about the Civilization Cup for a while, Yan Ziming asked, "How have you been lately? Are you alright? Has anyone been bullying you?"

"Remember to come to us if you encounter any difficulties. Qianxue and her older sister are amazing!"

Ye Qianxue waved her pink fist and said.

"Um......."

Yuanyuan answered softly, as if she had something difficult to say. Yan Ziming keenly noticed this, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes:

"What, is someone really bullying you?"

"No, no, no, it's not bullying..." Yuanyuan quickly shook her head. "It's just... there are a lot of people buying on credit lately..."

"Buy on credit? Why don't you just tell them you don't offer credit?"

"But they're all regular customers, and I felt bad refusing them..."

"I see... Come to think of it, the economy has been sluggish ever since the fall of the Yongjing Emperor..."

Yan Ziming scratched his face. This was something that anyone in the business of running a shop had to do. Every shop had its own way of doing business, and Yan Ziming couldn't interfere too much.

However, if she buys too many things on credit, Yuanyuan's source of income will become difficult, as can be seen from her initial reaction.

Thinking this through, Yan Ziming said to Yuanyuan:

"Give me a case of beer and..." Yan Ziming named a lot of meats and vegetables, and he requested a considerable amount, plus a barbecue grill and a bunch of barbecue forks.

"Please prepare these ingredients for me first. Qianxue and I are going out for a bit and will be back to pick them up later. We're having a barbecue tonight to celebrate Christmas. Yuanyuan, you can bring your grandma along too! I'll show you my best lightning barbecue!"

"Mmm! Yuanyuan, you have time... no, you absolutely must come over, my thunder and lightning barbecue is incredibly delicious!"

Ye Qianxue also offered words of encouragement from the side, and in the meantime, praised Yan Ziming.

"Yes, Yuanyuan will go, but she has to ask my grandma first." Yuanyuan's appetite was whetted by Ye Qianxue, and she fell into the abyss of her craving.

Yan Ziming generously gave Yuanyuan tens of thousands of RMB for food expenses, and then took Ye Qianxue shopping together.

Chapter Three Relocation

"Hey, Qianxue, how do I get to the city center?" Yan Ziming asked, looking at the bustling streets.

"I don't know." Ye Qianxue shook her head. They were both shut-ins who never went out, so how would they know how to get to such a 'sacred' place as the city center?

"Well, let's take a taxi."

Yan Ziming took out his phone and hailed a taxi, then opened the car door and got in.

"Where are you two beautiful ladies headed...?"

The middle-aged man in the driver's seat asked with a smile. He glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously, and then froze.

What a beautiful pair of sisters!

One is pure and sweet, the other is gorgeous and charming. The combination of these two completely opposite styles on these sisters is simply a match made in heaven!

The uncle suddenly felt that he had made the right choice in coming here. At least such beauties are hard to come by once in ten years, and today he had run into two of them, and they were even sisters. Could there be anything more delightful than this?

After finishing this order, let's keep this car as a keepsake, or maybe we can use the spot where they sat as a bed?

The uncle had a wicked thought, but he didn't dare to have any ill intentions towards Yan Ziming and the others.

In this day and age, someone who is so beautiful and dares to go out on the street without any disguise must either be a superhuman with extraordinary abilities or have a powerful background. Neither of them are people he can afford to offend.

He was just an ordinary person struggling, nothing more.

Yan Ziming had no idea that so much had been imagined in such a short time. After a slight hesitation, she replied, "To the city center."

The heavenly voice flowed through his heart like a clear spring, bringing indescribable comfort and joy. The uncle was captivated and turned on the recording equipment.

"You have to specify where in the city center you're going, right? If you're thinking of shopping, let me give you a piece of advice: most of the shops in the major shopping malls have already closed down!"

"Wait a minute, isn't today a weekend? How come almost everyone's gone already?"

Yan Ziming exclaimed in surprise, "They were making a good living here, why did they all leave? It doesn't make any sense!"

"I don't know either. My boss also said that the company headquarters is going to move to Bei'an."

"The uncle was puzzled. Bei'an is a mixed bag, and the basic framework of the interest chain has been established. All the profits have been distributed. What good can we outsiders expect if we suddenly barge in?"

The uncle spoke methodically, and Yan Ziming clicked his tongue in amazement, never expecting that a taxi driver would know so much.

However, this is a headache. The main purpose of accompanying Ye Qianxue on this trip was shopping, which was also to satisfy her desire to become a nouveau riche. Now it seems that this will not work.

"Then let's go to some of the more famous tourist attractions."

"How about the riverside or the lakeside?"

"alright."

"okay!"

The man floored the accelerator, the car roared to life, and sped off onto the road.

After explaining the destination, Yan Ziming closed his eyes to rest, but his mind began to ponder what the uncle had said.

Headquarters relocation? Why would they move to Bei'an for no reason? Just like the uncle said, these outsiders are suddenly barging into Bei'an and trying to take a slice of the pie; they're bound to end up badly. But why...?

"Hey beautiful, do you have a boyfriend? My nephew is a superhuman with incredible abilities, and he's handsome and dashing. Any ideas?"

"Hey beautiful, where do you live? Maybe we even live together!"

The middle-aged man skillfully steered the wheel, while repeatedly trying to strike up a conversation with Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue. Yan Ziming ignored him, and Ye Qianxue wisely kept quiet as well.

After asking so many questions without receiving a single reply, the man had no choice but to make one last desperate attempt.

"Beautiful lady, haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Eh? You know us too?!" Ye Qianxue blurted out, only to have her cheek pinched by Yan Ziming.

My sister is so stupid! This is clearly a pickup line; they don't actually know them at all!

However, after Ye Qianxue said that, the uncle tapped the rearview mirror carefully while waiting for the traffic light and realized that he did seem to have seen Yan Ziming and the others before.

It's a sense of déjà vu, not that I actually know her, especially Yan Ziming. I feel like her temperament is very similar to someone, and this person is quite famous.

"Aaaaaah!!! You are, you are the one on TV!"

The fragmented memories in his mind pieced together to form a picture, and the uncle instantly remembered it. Pointing at Yan Ziming's reflection in the rearview mirror, he shouted in shock.

Yan Ziming was completely bewildered. Did he really recognize him?

"You're Yan Ziming, right?! The one from the Battle of Yongjing!"

The uncle continued to shout in alarm, but what he said made Yan Ziming breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's me. I didn't expect anyone to still remember me after more than half a year..." Yan Ziming said with an embarrassed smile.

In today's internet traffic, her activity in Yongjing back then can only be considered a flash in the pan. Half a year later, she never expected that anyone would still recognize her.

Thankfully, it wasn't Ziqing from the Civilization Cup who recognized him, but the uncle's next sentence made Yan Ziming's heart jump slightly.

"It really is you! But I also think you resemble someone else, named..."

"Sir, the light is green now, drive carefully."

Yan Ziming hurriedly interrupted the uncle's train of thought and reminded him that he was blocking the normal driving of the vehicles behind him. The uncle was completely unaware of this and stepped on the gas, heading straight for the river and lakeside.

Until the moment he got out of the car, Yan Ziming kept changing the subject to try and distract the older man. After arriving at their destination, he opened the car door and left without looking back.

At that moment, Yan Ziming grabbed Ye Qianxue's cheek hard and scolded, "Look what you've done!"

"Big sister, you can't blame Qianxue... It's just that you're too famous, which easily makes people think of the Civilization Cup."

Ye Qianxue innocently shifted the blame.

This statement also enlightened Yan Ziming. As she said, it shouldn't be difficult for anyone who has seen her before to guess that she is Ziqing from the Civilization Cup. The possibility of a stranger is much smaller, but not impossible.

"Let's go, and remember not to say anything more!"

Yan Ziming rolled his eyes at Ye Qianxue, then took her hand and began to stroll along the river and lake. The scenery here was exceptionally beautiful, with clear lake water and several small islands in the central area. It was a popular tourist attraction in the Jiangning Military Administrative Region.
