After hanging up the phone, Lao Wang's mood had not calmed down for a long time.
Guomin Xiao Wang had brought him a piece of great news. The group had indeed been struggling financially for the past two years. If the assets in Great Britain were sold, the Yida Group could fully restore its ambition of yesteryear.
Lao Wang discovered an issue: ever since his son connected with Xia Feng, everything he did went smoothly.
His father-in-law's illness was cured, he had obtained funds from Old Ma, and now the assets in Great Britain were sold for ten billion Euros above the asking price.
He couldn't be happier.
"Mr. Wang, you have an interview scheduled shortly," his secretary said as she entered.
"Alright, arrange for it to be brought in later," Lao Wang replied, regaining his former spirited demeanor.
"Okay."
The secretary was stunned. She felt that Mr. Wang had changed, though she couldn't quite pinpoint how.
.......................
"Xiao Wang, Qin Dou, I have a task for you two," Xia Feng said as Guomin Xiao Wang and Qin Dou walked in.
Upon hearing this, both men quickly approached Xia Feng and said in unison, "Brother Xia, please tell us."
"You two go out and buy me more bedding and other linens. Old Peter and the others will be staying at the villa today. Qin Wen and Ma Yuqin are also staying home to accompany Lin'er, and we don't have enough spare bedding," Xia Feng instructed them.
"Okay, we'll go now," Guomin Xiao Wang nodded in agreement.
They were happy to have something to do; they loved running errands like this the most.
Having tasks assigned meant they were useful and had a sense of purpose.
Before, they were bored and felt like they were wasting time. Now, they realized how good it felt to have people assigning them tasks every day.
The two happily walked out as soon as they came in.
"Old Peter, you come upstairs with me," Xia Feng said, looking at Dula Peter.
"Yes, Master," Dula Peter replied, respectfully following Xia Feng upstairs.
Upon reaching the second floor, Xia Feng led Dula Peter into his room and then waved his hand, setting up a soundproof barrier.
"Show me your cultivation, why has your progress stagnated?" Xia Feng gestured for Dula Peter to cultivate.
Dula Peter did not dare to delay and began to meditate and cultivate.
As Dula Peter cultivated, Xia Feng frowned. The aura within Dula Peter's body was somewhat strange.
The highest rank for a vampire was Prince. Dula Peter's cultivation to Duke was thanks to Xia Feng; otherwise, he would have remained at Marquis his entire life.
Dukes were also divided into ranks: Junior, Intermediate, and Senior.
Princes only had two ranks: Lesser Prince and Greater Prince.
Xia Feng remembered that after he helped Dula Peter break through to Duke last time, his strength was at the current stage. The process of advancing from Junior Duke to Intermediate Duke was a long one; some might never reach Intermediate Duke in their lifetime.
But his strength shouldn't have stopped increasing altogether.
As Duke Dula cultivated, Xia Feng noticed traces of his own cultivation within him. This might be the reason.
Because his cultivation was too proud within Dula Peter's body, it prevented Dula Peter from absorbing it and converting it into his own power, causing Dula Peter's progress to stagnate.
"Close your eyes, I will help you,"
After speaking, Xia Feng placed a hand on Dula Peter's head and began to cultivate, helping Dula Peter refine the power within him.
"Alright, continue cultivating and absorb the power I am giving you," Xia Feng instructed after withdrawing his hand.
Dula Peter did not dare to be negligent and began to cultivate with all his heart. He clearly felt his power begin to grow. As his power increased faster and faster, Dula Peter took a deep breath.
Although he had not broken through from Junior Duke to Intermediate Duke, Dula Peter felt that he was close to a breakthrough.
"Thank you, Master."
After finishing his cultivation, Dula Peter, with gratitude on his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Feng three times.
"Cultivate by my side for a period, and don't go back until you break through to Intermediate Duke," Xia Feng accepted Dula Peter's kowtow with pleasure.
"Your disciple obeys," Dula Peter stood up and bowed in response.
In the afternoon, Guomin Xiao Wang and Qin Dou returned with all the bedding. As they had bought so much, they hired a small truck to transport it.
Of course, they were included in the plan.
The two had discussed it on the way and shamelessly decided to stay overnight. It didn't matter if there were no rooms; they were willing to sleep on the floor in the bathroom.
As for the reason for staying...
It was simple.
There were many people at home, and their presence could help out with chores.
"Young Master Wang, Young Master Qin, why did you buy so much?" Xia Lin asked, looking at the small truck parked at the entrance.
"Heh heh... we were afraid it wouldn't be enough, so it's good to have extra. Young Master Qin and I are planning to stay here tonight as well. It will be convenient to help with errands and such," Guomin Xiao Wang said with a smile.
"You're not going back tonight?" Xia Lin asked.
"No, we're not," Guomin Xiao Wang replied.
"Alright then, the rooms can accommodate you. You and Young Master Qin can share a room," Xia Lin nodded. Xia Feng had mentioned that he liked lively company, and it was good for Guomin Xiao Wang and Qin Dou to stay, as they might be needed for certain tasks.
The villa Xia Lin had bought had seven rooms, which was more than enough.
"Got it," Guomin Xiao Wang said happily and began to help move things.
In the evening, Xia Lin began her livestream.
Xia Lin's Livestream:
"Good evening everyone, have you all eaten?"
Xia Lin greeted her viewers after entering the livestream room.
Netizen 6542: "Lin'er, you're getting lazier. You used to stream all day, but now streaming for two hours in the evening is considered long."
Netizen 655: "We should call you Boss Lin from now on."
Netizen 6987: "Boss Lin."
Netizen 68: "Boss Lin."
A stream of "Boss Lin" instantly appeared in the bullet comments.
"What is it, I've just been busy lately. Today I have a special treat for you all," Xia Lin said with a pout.
Netizen 368: "A treat? Lin'er, are you going to change outfits?"
Netizen 6987: "Are you going to sneakily film your brother again today? If so, that would be the best treat."
Netizen 102: "Yes, that's the best treat."
Netizen 6398: "I wonder what the Immortal is doing right now, is he busy cultivating?"
Netizen 3698: "Upstairs."
"What are you thinking? Today I'm going to introduce you to a beautiful sister," Xia Lin said, holding her microphone.
Netizen 68: "We don't want a young lady, we want the Immortal."
Netizen 3320: "We don't want a young lady, we want the Immortal."
Netizen 201: "We don't want a young lady, we want the Immortal."
Soon, another wave of requests to see Xia Feng appeared in the bullet comments.
Netizen 6321: "What sister? Let's see first."
Netizen 6987: "Lin'er, is she prettier than you?"
"She's definitely prettier than me. Now, let me proudly introduce you all to my good sister, Wen Jie Jie."
Xia Lin said and then panned the camera down to Qin Wen.
Qin Wen smiled and said to the camera, "Good evening, everyone."
