America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

"Chen, that taste, which had no sourness at all and was like eating a mixture of top-quality fresh cream and pineapple, completely overwhelmed their taste buds."

"My personal phone has been ringing off the hook since early this morning. Everyone's asking where this white fruit, which looks like a work of art, came from!"

"This is just New York. I heard that Eileen is in Los Angeles, and it's the same situation?" Robert asked.

"Eileen's side is even crazier."

Chen An leaned against the pillow, his fingers tapping lightly on the sheets. "Hollywood actresses have completely lost their minds for this natural fruit that won't make you fat but brings you the ultimate sweet dopamine."

"So, Chen, how much are you planning to sell it for? Two thousand US dollars a box? No, I think people would be scrambling to buy it even at five thousand US dollars!" Robert displayed the greed of a capitalist.

"Not for sale."

Chen An's answer remained crisp and concise.

"Robert, remember our previous plan. The top-quality ingredients from Titan Estate, whether it's Wagyu beef, the mutated white diamond truffles, or these white strawberries, must never enter the open retail market."

"Tell those desperate tycoons: Want some? Sure."

A deep, calculating glint flashed in Chen An's eyes.

"The Titans Club is now accepting applications. The initial fee is one million US dollars, and the annual fee is five hundred thousand US dollars."

"Moreover, money doesn't guarantee entry; a background check is required. Only full members can receive a quarterly quota of special manor supplies."

There was a full ten seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came Robert's heartfelt exclamation.

"Chen, you're not only a mining genius, you're also a psychology master who understands human nature."

"Using a few strawberries as bait to entice those high-ranking and powerful people to willingly enter our network of interests... Brilliant, truly brilliant."

"Get your review team ready, Robert. You're going to be very busy in the days to come."

After hanging up the phone, Chen An finished his coffee in one gulp.

Once the money-making machine is started, he, the owner, becomes the most idle person.

"A million-dollar membership fee, just for a few bites of strawberries and beef..."

Sarah walked over, took the empty glass, and shook her head incredulously. "It seems I'll never understand the world of the rich."

You don't need to understand.

Chen An grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms, pressing his cheek against her soft belly.

"All you need to know is that you are the mistress of this vast empire. What they covet is nothing more than ordinary after-dinner fruit in your kitchen."

……

After changing into a light waterproof windbreaker and outdoor boots, Chen An walked out of the main house.

The weather is exceptionally good today, with not a single cloud in the clear blue sky.

He walked along the newly paved gravel path inside the manor towards the pasture.

"Moo—"

Before we even reached the cowshed, we heard a series of soft, baby-like moans from the cows.

On the sunny outdoor lawn, Jessica was wearing a pair of denim overalls and brand-new pink rain boots.

Holding a huge, specially made baby bottle, he was struggling with the newborn calf named "Lucky".

Although Lucky is only a few days old, he has inherited the excellent genes of purebred black Angus and Kobe beef, and his physique is already larger than that of an ordinary mixed-breed dog.

It was extremely lively, nudging Jessica's legs with its furry head, eagerly wanting to drink milk.

"Hey! Don't bump me! Stand still!"

Jessica was being nudged and pushed around by the little guy, giggling as she finally managed to get the pacifier into its mouth.

"Smack smack..." Lucky immediately quieted down, sucking greedily, its tail wagging happily.

Chen An walked over, leaned against the white wooden fence, and watched this vibrant scene.

"Looks like you're doing a good job as an 'trainee zookeeper'."

Jessica heard the voice, turned her head, and her smile in the sunlight was radiant without a trace of gloom.

"Boss, you're here! Look, Lucky is so strong, she almost knocked me over."

She stroked the calf's soft, black velvet-like back hair with a showy gesture.

"It was the first crown prince of the Titanic Wagyu cattle, so of course it was very strong."

Chen An climbed over the fence, walked to Jessica's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and also reached out to pat Lucky's head.

Feel the powerful heartbeat and vibrant life force beneath your hands.

This pure "farming and development" feeling is a psychological satisfaction that no stock market fluctuation can bring.

"By the way, where's Aya?" Chen An looked around but didn't see the always restless Native American girl.

"she?"

Jessica pursed her lips and pointed to the recently thawed Sunset Creek at the edge of the farm.

"He ran to the river early this morning with a stick. He said he missed the taste of water after being in the desert for so long."

"Boss, this water is freshly melted snow water, it's freezing cold, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Wild leopards can't be kept in captivity. Let's go take a look."

Chen An took Jessica's hand, and the two walked along the grass toward the stream.

……

The water level of Sunset Creek has risen considerably due to the spring snowmelt, and the current is rapid and so clear that you can see the smooth pebbles on the riverbed.

The river water was icy cold, still maintaining a temperature close to zero degrees Celsius.

But at an inlet in the stream, a figure with a wild beauty is standing in knee-deep water.

It's Aya.

She took off her signature deerskin coat on the shore, and was only wearing an extremely simple sports bra and shorts made of black waterproof fabric.

Her plump, firm, wheat-colored skin was covered with glistening water droplets.

Despite the chilly early spring wind, she did not shiver; her eyes were as sharp as a hunting eagle's, fixed intently on the water.

In her hand, she held a sharpened birch stick.

"Shh..."

Hearing Chen An and Jessica's footsteps, Aya did not turn around, but simply raised her left hand slightly to make a shushing gesture.

The muscles in his entire body tensed instantly, presenting a perfect streamlined shape like a cheetah about to pounce.

In the very next second.

"Whoosh!"

Aya suddenly exerted force with her arm, and the wooden stick in her hand pierced into the rushing stream like lightning, stirring up a white spray.

"I won!"

Aya let out an excited Native American-style battle cry and yanked the stick out of the water.

At the tip of the stick, a wild rainbow trout weighing at least two pounds was stuck in the ground, still struggling desperately!

Its body, adorned with colorful stripes, shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Jessica couldn't help but applaud from the shore.

Although she had a strange fear of Aya's fighting ability, her pure wilderness survival skills were undeniably incredibly cool.

Aya waded through the icy river water to the shore, took the still-struggling trout off the bank, and threw it into the bucket next to her.

"An! Look!"

She walked up to Chen An, completely disregarding that she was soaking wet, and raised her chin like a child showing off a treasure.

"The first river fish of spring is the fattest. They've just survived the winter, and their bellies are full of fat."
