Su Lingyun looked up with dim and teary eyes as she nodded repeatedly. A mother’s love was as like a mountain. Which mother who didn’t hope for their children to have a successful life when they grow up? Each and every one of them would look forward to their children’s achievements in the future. And today, despite his young age, her son even had laid down a career for which an average person couldn’t achieve for a lifetime, causing her to feel so happy and sweet inside.

“You’re right!”

Su Lingyun wiped away her tears. She looked at Tang Xiu and said, “Xiu’er, Mom is very proud of you.”

Tang Xiu cast a grateful look toward Mu Qingping before he replied with a smile, “Mom, I’m also very proud of you.”

The entire morning was spent with Tang Xiu accompanying Su Lingyun, telling her as to why he hid things from her. However, he still hid the matter of his return from the Immortal World as well as his Immortal cultivator identity. He didn’t dare to reveal the total assets he had, much less about Immortal matters.

He also hadn’t estimated the wealth he had before. And now, as he recalled, even the value of the isolated island in the Pacific Ocean was around 2-3 billion yuan.

Shortly before noon…

Tang Xiu had lunch with Su Lingyun. Looking at Su Lingyun doting on Gu Yin, he smiled and said, “Mom, have you decided to move in with me? If you don’t want to sell our old house, it’s fine. We’ll still take care of the house later. Also, if you don’t want to take the test for a driver license, I’ll help you find a driver so you can have someone to send and pick you up to work every day.”

Su Lingyun shook her head and said, “No, I’m used to live there. I definitely won’t be able to get used to living here! Son, I won’t move for now. Only after you’ve enrolled in the university will I consider moving! Later on, if you still want to live here, you can. But if you want to, you can also stay there. It’s just that the restaurant is much closer from there, so I won’t need to take a driver license test or look for a driver.”

“This…”

Tang Xiu didn’t want to go against his mother’s will, but he was also quite reluctant to let her live in their previous house. After hesitating for a while, he then slowly said, “It’s alright! I’ll arrange a room for you here. So you can come and stay here at any time you want.”

In the afternoon, he sent Su Lingyun back to the restaurant. When he looked at her smiling face before leaving, she looked several years younger, causing his heart to be particularly satisfied.

Tang Xiu arrived at the hotel where Scarblade Qiang was staying and just happened to see Kang Xia also arriving.

“I just called you about ten minutes ago, how can you be here so soon?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile.

Kang Xia replied, “I just happened to be working on something in the vicinity when you called. Anyway, Boss, this manager you’ve found for the winery, on what basis did you pick him?”

Tang Xiu himself had heard directly from Scarblade Qiang. After telling everything from the beginning, he finally said, “He can change his way and turn a new leaf in life. He’s a real man. Thus, when I knew that he was also skilled in winemaking, I gave him a chance. If he’s able to grasp this chance, naturally, it wouldn’t be a problem to have a rapid advancement in life. If he can’t fully utilize this chance and his performance is bad, you, as his direct superior, have the right to dismiss him directly.”

Kang Xia said with a smile, “Since you gave me the rights and privileges, I’m very relieved. Ah, right. I’ve looked over some information this morning about some wineries in Star City. I think one of them is quite good, but I haven’t had the time to have a thorough investigation as well as going to the site. But this winery is going to be closed down soon, so if we can have a buyout for it, it will save us quite the trouble.”

“You and Scarblade Qiang take care of this matter. I have very important things to take care in the next few days, so I can’t be bothered with the setting of the winery as well as managing the business. If you’re short on money, give me a call, and I’ll find some way to work it out.”

Kang Xia let out a tender smile and said, “I won’t need the funds for some time. But you truly have the ability, Boss. I can see that you actually don’t even need me to run the company since you can think of a way to when we’re short on money. You can even get quite a lot of it.”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “No, I’ll need quite a huge sum of money. Let alone a billion, even tens of billions yuan won’t be enough for me! In short, I have to make money as much as possible since it would greatly affect my cultivation practice.”

“Ah, so you’re thinking up of every possible means to make money only for your cultivation later?” Kang Xia was astounded.

Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Yes, my cultivation speed will be faster when I have enough resources. I’m now in a dire need of cultivation resources. Fortunately, my cultivation level isn’t yet high for now, I can barely gather it up. But after my cultivation realm has reached higher levels, the resources I’ll need will increase. So, without huge financial support, it will be difficult to speed up my cultivation.”

“Okay then, I’ll work hard.” Kang Xia nodded and said.

“I believe you!”

Tang Xiu said with a confident smile.

With a confused expression, Kang Xia asked, “Why do you have so much confidence in me?”

Tang Xiu replied with a smile, “Of course I do. You’re helping me make money. For that, I even gave you the shares as well as urged you to start cultivating. So naturally you’ll also need a lot of resources. If you want to become stronger, you must have massive cultivation resources, which in turn, we also have to make money faster.”

Kang Xia couldn’t help but feel at a loss whether she had to be amused or cry as she said, “So you taught me a cultivation technique, just for that purpose? Aii, you truly boarded me on a pirate ship.”

Tang Xiu teased her, “But still, you have the opportunity to disembark.”
