"Miss, we have found out that Mr. Dulin once stayed in Tenel City for a period of time and came to settle in Ilian more than half a year ago..."

When Nasha heard the word "Tenaer", her mind buzzed, and she would never forget what she encountered in Tenel.

John was married three times, and each marriage gave him a child. He has three children, two boys and a girl. It may be that his first two children had a bad relationship with him due to a troubled marriage. His daughter left home on her own initiative when she became an adult. When she was a student, she became a couple and got married to the second son of a steel tycoon. She rarely married him. When I went home to see John, contact was quite sparse, and the relationship between father and daughter was very poor.

The eldest son, Nasha's father, left the family after John's first marriage ended, when he was only sixteen years old. He always believed that John had abandoned his mother because he was greedy for beauty and married a young girl. This was a betrayal of the family, so he left home without hesitation and went out on his own. He went to school while working as a temporary worker. His academic performance was very good and he received a full scholarship every year.

In the process of studying, he also met the woman he loved, got married and gave birth to Nasha. After the marriage, Nasha's father became a teacher and taught in the school where he had studied. If nothing else happened, his life would have changed after John's death. As the eldest son of John, he was bound to inherit a large amount of property, industry and power that belonged to him.

Here's the problem, John's third marriage was to a very young actress. This young woman likes to have fun. Even during her pregnancy, she often played until midnight or even in the morning. She also had a habit of smoking and drinking frequently. The age gap and John's increasing age meant that he did not have so much energy to restrain his third wife, which resulted in the children she gave birth to being frail and sickly. This problem is not a big problem for big families like the George family. They have enough money and resources to make up for the congenital deficiencies of their children.

Just as Juan's son Cullen believed that part of the money in Juan's pocket belonged to him, John's brothers and sisters also believed that the George family's wealth was half theirs. In particular, Arthur, the youngest child around John, developed the same temperament as most children from wealthy families. After they were unwilling to do anything serious except eating, drinking and having fun, their desire to control the family wealth and power became even higher.

Under such circumstances, John took the initiative to find Nasha's father, hoping that he could return to the family to share part of the work for him, and at the same time, he could deter family members who had unrealistic illusions. The teacher, who had almost never relied on his family and had many conflicts with his father, had his own stubbornness. He refused John's request and insisted that he had nothing to do with the George family. He even changed his surname to his mother's surname to sever ties with each other.

In order to prevent Nasha from being harassed and influenced, he sent Nasha to his mother's hometown, Ordo, to avoid John. Nasha, who didn't know the truth, didn't know that she was one of the heirs of a billionaire family. She thought she was just the child of an ordinary teacher. Something else happened during this period. Nasha’s mother fell down when she was five months pregnant for the second time. The situation was very serious at the time and she already had symptoms of shock.

But Nasha's father didn't have enough money in his pocket for his wife to receive the best treatment, so he had to pick up the phone and contact the person he least wanted to see, John.

From then on, the two got in touch again and maintained this relationship. Perhaps because he felt that his father was getting older and sadder, the hatred of more than ten or twenty years was unknowingly resolved. He finally accepted his father's request and returned to the George family.

This is like a bloody script. Arthur, who grew up in the praise of his uncles and aunts all day long, showed complete hostility when faced with his brother who suddenly stepped in. His uncles and aunts told him that if he could not kick his brother out, half of his future property would be given to his brother. Arthur, who had never done anything serious, began to work hard, and with the help of some uncles and aunts, he started a "courageous and resourceful" struggle with Nasha's father.

The whole family was filled with smoke, and at this time, Nasha returned to the family...

Nasha, who had never imagined that she had such an identity, almost collapsed. She felt that her whole life was a scam. Everyone was hurting her and deceiving her. She also became more autistic and indifferent. .

As the first direct family member of the third generation, Nasha received far more attention than her father received, and even attracted a lot of firepower for her father.

Until John sent her to Ilian, not only to let her relax, but also to avoid being targeted by family members.

But she didn't expect that after she left the center of the whirlpool, she would encounter the word that reminded her of the most painful thing in her life - Tenel!

But Nasha had a vague feeling that Du Lin must have something to do with what happened to her. She knew very clearly that she had never met Du Lin, let alone talked to him, but the familiar voice lingered in her ears for a long time, as if... she had heard his voice somewhere.

"I'm going to attend the food festival tomorrow, please help me prepare." Nasha is a brave girl, otherwise she would not be able to go to school alone in a strange place like Ordo. Since she was confused, she went Solve this confusion. And as one of the main parties involved in that incident, she thought there were too many unreasonable things in it, and she wanted to know the truth.

Chris was a little strange about Nasha's sudden request to participate in the food festival. She had mentioned this before. The city hall and Alexander had invited Nasha, but she rejected them one by one. But now I suddenly want to go again. Is there something going on here? Chris was thinking about the possibilities behind Nasha's change of attitude, and agreed immediately.

After a period of publicity, the food festival has achieved a certain effect. Judging from the sudden increase in the number of tourists in the past few days, it is necessary to continue this event. The city hall is very satisfied. If the food festival can be concluded successfully, the word-of-mouth effect of these tourists will become the focus of publicity and attract more tourists to Ilian. Alexander is also very satisfied. As the organizer of the food festival, he has also received enough attention, which has created good conditions for him to expand the hotel industry out of the Ilian region.

Early the next morning, colorful flags were fluttering and colorful balloons were flying in the sky. The cruise ships that kept docking at the port unloaded their full passengers and left immediately, making room for the cruise ships already waiting to unload tourists offshore to dock.

Du Lin was holding a small bowl in his hand. The bowl contained some strange things. These things were oval, orange, and the size of a little finger. Through the extremely thin outer walls, you could see a small fish that had formed inside. swimming. This is the roe of a deep-sea fish. It does not require any sauce and is enough to make people indulge in it. When you bite through the outer wall, the extremely delicious juice explodes immediately, and you can feel something beating on the tip of your tongue.

An ounce of this kind of roe costs five yuan. Although it is delicious, not everyone can afford it.

"There are too many people!" Dulin sighed. It was originally just a whim of Alexander, but with the help and promotion of the city hall, the effect has now exceeded the limit of Alexander's imagination. Obviously, the Ilion Food Festival will be reported in the mainstream newspapers tomorrow, which can be considered one of the achievements of City Hall.

Frena, who was walking beside Du Lin, nodded. She held the light blue sun hat on her head with one hand. Her green gauze skirt was blown away by the sea breeze, revealing her snow-white ankles. The film crew did not have a holiday, and the filming location was on the beach. This was something Dulin promised Alexander, for which Alexander paid 50,000 yuan.

Her eyes lit up and she pointed to the place in the distance surrounded by crowds of people, "Look, it's the Big Eater Competition!"

Du Lin looked in the direction she pointed, and at first sight he saw a huge belly and the owner of the huge belly, Alexander. This guy was grinning from ear to ear, standing on the stage presiding over the first game.

Anyone can participate in the Big Eater Competition, and there is no charge. The food consumed in the competition is a sausage made from fish, which is much cheaper than bread in terms of cost control. There are already ten contestants sitting behind the long table. These people are tourists from all over the empire. Maybe they feel that they are usually better eaters, so they try to challenge the "title" of Big Eater.

In order to make this event a success, Alexander racked his brains. He opened a total of nine event arenas. In addition to the Big Eater competition, there were also other competitions such as bucket belly. The contestants who get the title can have the right to stay in the hotel for free for fifteen days, which can be separated or connected together, and they can stay at any time during the year. What's more important is that each champion will receive a bonus of 30,000 yuan!

If there's anything you can do that doesn't require hard work, just eat some delicious food and drink some delicious drinks, and you can make a lot of money, then it is undoubtedly these competitions.

"Want to try it?" Du Lin asked casually. He had heard two things in his dream, but he didn't know whether they were true or false.

The first thing is that girls who look very thin are often very good at eating. Their stomachs can hold at least ten kilograms of food.

The second thing is that girls who say they can't drink are often very good drinkers. It's rare to hold a cup, but every time they hold a cup, they are destined to be lonely.
