The young man and the heavily made-up girl were stunned for a moment. This guy just threw out 5000 dollars, did they misjudge him?

The surrounding Americans heard Qin Yi's calm voice and let out a light exclamation. They couldn't help but think, 5000 dollars, that's more than many people's monthly salary, and he just threw it out so casually? If they spent that much money, they would have to budget for it for a long time!

The beautiful waitress noticed the situation and quickly walked over. Of course, she couldn't ask Qin Yi to give up his seat. If the store forced customers to give up their seats, they would be cursed to death and wouldn't be able to do business in America anymore!

Looking at the young man, she smiled charmingly, "Sir, we have a few seats as good as this one. Would you like me to show you the way?"

Clearly, this was a way to back down. The young man saw that Qin Yi casually threw out 5000 dollars, clearly not short of money, so he also planned to take the hint. If he continued to cause trouble, he would be the one to lose face!

But before he could speak, the girl exploded, "Park Dae-je, didn't you say you were very capable? 5000 dollars scared you? Now you can't even get me a seat I like? I don't care, I want this seat today!"

Saying this, she grabbed the 500 dollars and slapped it on the table, glaring at Qin Yi angrily!

Park Dae-je's face turned dark the moment he heard this. How did he not notice that this woman was an idiot before? Causing a scene in public, wasn't she afraid of losing face? Just as he was about to pull the girl away, he suddenly saw a middle-aged white man walking over from not far away. Ignoring the girl, he quickly put on a smile and greeted him.

"Mr. Swan, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Swan? Qin Yi turned around curiously. Wasn't this Michael? There was also a somewhat shy girl beside him, with golden hair, fair skin, and big, sparkling blue eyes, looking very cute.

"Hello, Mr. Park, can we talk later? If you don't mind, I'll go say hello to my friend first!" Mr. Swan said with a friendly smile.

Park Dae-je, of course, had no objection. This was an important figure in Swan Real Estate, and it usually took some effort to meet him. How could he make him unhappy? "Of course, Mr. Swan, please go ahead!"

Mr. Swan politely walked away and came straight to Qin Yi's side. Qin Yi invited Michael to sit down, "Michael, isn't today a good day for sightseeing?"

Meeting Michael, Qin Yi was very happy. This was one of the few people he knew in America. Moreover, since Park Dae-je knew Michael, he wouldn't try to force him to buy his seat anymore!

Michael said enthusiastically to Qin Yi, "Ha, it's definitely a good day. Yi, this is my daughter, Sarah." Then he introduced Sarah, "Sarah, this is Yi."

Qin Yi greeted Sarah and invited Michael and Sarah to have coffee.

Park Dae-je, seeing the situation, had already pulled the heavily made-up girl to the side. Seeing Michael sit down, Park Dae-je also came over, "Mr. Swan, could I have the honor of introducing your friend to me?"

Michael had also noticed the situation when he arrived and knew something might have happened. After hearing Park Dae-je's words, he looked at Qin Yi, who just shrugged without objecting. So he introduced them with a smile, "Yi, this is Mr. Park Dae-je, a Korean who recently immigrated to America and bought a 3000-acre farm in Texas."

Park Dae-je smiled and nodded at Qin Yi.

"Mr. Park, this is Yi Qin, who recently bought a 124,000-acre ranch in Montana!"

124,000 acres! Park Dae-je was stunned. Was this the Chinese person who had been making waves recently?

Damn, he really misjudged him!

"Mr. Qin, I'm very sorry about what happened just now. Please don't take it to heart!" Park Dae-je quickly apologized. He should leave, so as not to cause more trouble and lose face.

"Excuse me, Mr. Swan, Mr. Qin, I have something to take care of. I'll take my leave!"

Saying this, he pulled the stunned heavily made-up girl away, wishing he could slap himself. Damn, he, a millionaire, actually tried to buy a billionaire's seat for 500 dollars. If this got out, it would be a huge embarrassment!

Qin Yi saw that Michael was curious about what had happened and explained it briefly with a smile. Michael laughed, "Yi, your experience is really quite unusual."

Sarah didn't say anything, but the smile on her lips showed that she found it interesting.

Laughing a couple of times, Michael didn't want Qin Yi to feel awkward, so he changed the subject, "Yi, how's the ranch going? Do you want me to teach you some ranching skills?"

Qin Yi was a novice in ranching, and Michael had known this when he visited the ranch.

"You know ranching skills?" Qin Yi was surprised that Michael knew this!

"Of course, I have a ranch too, but it can't compare to yours. Mine is only a few thousand acres, with some cattle, not very profitable, just for vacation. I also do ranch work during vacations!"

Qin Yi had coffee with Michael and Sarah, invited them to visit the Sun River Ranch when they had time, and then left to pick up a friend from the airport. He was a bit disappointed that Sarah didn't say much, mostly drinking coffee and listening to their conversation. She was a bit shy, very different from the bold and outgoing American girls on TV!

Back in Los Angeles, Qin Yi lost interest in sightseeing. However, Ye Fang still had a few hours to arrive. Bored, he decided to go to the Hollywood Walk of Fame to enjoy the view of the beautiful women. Before going to the Walk of Fame, Qin Yi went to the Grove Shopping Center and bought a Canon 5Ds DSLR camera. He had wanted to buy a camera for a long time. There are many beautiful scenes in life, and not taking photos to commemorate them would be a great regret!

Wandering around, he arrived at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There were many beautiful women on the street, and some might even be celebrities.

Unfortunately, Qin Yi didn't remember many Western celebrities. He remembered Angelina Jolie the most clearly, and he had some vague memories of Gal Gadot and Rachel McAdams, but he might not recognize them if they stood in front of him. They were all very beautiful, but who would pay attention to the name of the female lead in an action movie?

Male stars were easier to remember, like Bruce Willis, Jackie Chan, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Tom Cruise, Bradley Cooper, and the main characters from "The Expendables" (there were many more, but he didn't want to list them to pad the word count).

Qin Yi didn't dwell on it. Whether he recognized them or not, he wasn't a fan and didn't want to take a photo with them to show off. He was a rancher and had nothing to do with them. He walked slowly, taking photos of familiar names and beautiful girls, feeling more relaxed than in an art gallery!

Many tourists were also walking and looking around, not disturbing each other. Occasionally, when they saw a beautiful woman or a handsome man, they would ask for a signature or a photo and then move on without causing any trouble.

Qin Yi sighed, "Cultural differences. If a big star in China walked the streets like this, the road would be blocked for miles!"

Imagining the funny scene of a Chinese actress being surrounded on the street, he looked at a girl signing autographs not far away.

"Such a beautiful girl, aren't you going to take a photo with her?" A female voice suddenly pulled Qin Yi back to reality.

"Huh?"

Turning his head, he saw a white girl with black hair and brown eyes, a high nose, and a very pretty face. Looking at the girl signing autographs, she was young, with long golden curly hair and a pointed chin that highlighted her beautiful lips. She was a very attractive girl.

"Oh, indeed a beautiful girl! Is she famous?" She looked about 16 or 17, so young to be a big star!

"You don't know her? Have you heard of Chloë Grace Moretz? She's a famous child star in Hollywood, that's her, the beautiful girl!"

The black-haired girl looked curious. Chloë Grace Moretz was a popular child star, and she was surprised that this Chinese man, who had been staring at her, didn't recognize her. She thought Qin Yi wanted an autograph but was too shy to ask!

"Chloë Grace Moretz? A child star? Is the young man next to her her boyfriend? So young to have a boyfriend!"

Qin Yi touched his nose. He really didn't know who Chloë was. In college, he had followed some movies and entertainment news, but after graduation, he only watched action and comedy blockbusters, ignoring everything else. He spent all his time playing games and had no time for anything else!

The girl believed Qin Yi, seeing his genuine confusion. "That's her older brother..."

"Her older brother... That's interesting, taking her brother out on the street!" Qin Yi was a bit surprised!

Suddenly, the girl realized that this guy might not recognize her either, which explained his lack of reaction. "Do you know Kristen Stewart?" The girl was a bit nervous, waiting for Qin Yi's response. Yes, the girl was Kristen.

"Kristen?" Qin Yi thought hard for a while, disappointing the girl. It seemed he really didn't know her. Was she not famous enough, or was this guy from another planet?

The girl was feeling depressed when Qin Yi touched his nose uncertainly, "Twilight?"

"Yes, yes! The lead actress in Twilight!" Happiness came suddenly. She had almost given up, but this guy still knew her!

Ha, he would ask for her autograph next, right? Kristen looked at Qin Yi, a bit excited. This was a foreign fan!

Qin Yi, seeing the girl's expectant look, was a bit confused, "Um, are you a fan of Kristen?"

The girl's face turned dark at this, making Qin Yi even more puzzled.

After a few seconds, Kristen forced a smile, "Yes, I'm a big fan of hers!" She wanted to turn and leave, feeling very hurt. But then she thought, this would be too easy on him, "Hi, I'm Kristen. What's your name? Let's have coffee together sometime!"

A beautiful girl inviting him for coffee, Qin Yi was happy, but he was about to return to Montana, "Hi, Kristen! I'm Yi Qin, you can call me Yi. I'd love to have coffee with you, but I'm leaving for Montana today to pick up a friend."

"Montana? Are you a cowboy or a rancher?" Kristen thought Qin Yi was a tourist.

"A rancher, I just bought a ranch, and there's a lot to do." Indeed, there was a lot to do, new pastures, vegetables, converting a farm to a ranch, a lot of work!

A ranch, Kristen was very interested in ranches. She had been shooting movies for years, and her vacations were always at the beach or in her Los Angeles villa, which was getting boring.

Why not go to a ranch this year?

Okay, I'll go to this guy's ranch and stay for a few days!

I'll bring Chloë too!

"I've never been to a ranch. Yi, can I visit your ranch?"

Although it was their first meeting, it didn't matter. After such a blow, she had to take advantage of him. Besides, if she brought Chloë, her protective brothers would definitely come along!

Qin Yi, of course, warmly welcomed the beautiful girl, "Of course, a ranch is a great place for a vacation! Just give me a call a day in advance, and I'll pick you up at the Augusta airport!"

Giving Kristen the ranch address and his contact information, Qin Yi left the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was already 4 PM, and he needed to go to the airport to pick up Ye Fang.

Looking at Chloë walking with her older brother, Kristen smiled slyly at Qin Yi's disappearing back and walked over to Chloë!
