Left Envoy Yang has left.

He was picked up by Housekeeper Zhang and a few others.

When the four appeared, there were bamboo leaves on their heads and dirt on their bodies, looking quite disheveled.

Upon returning to the house, basically everyone went to rest.

Only the dean was still sitting on the sofa waiting.

Seeing the dean, Yang Chen couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

The dean gestured for Yang Chen to sit down.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat beside the dean.

The dean reached out for a cigarette, and Yang Chen quickly lit it for him.

The dean took a deep drag, exhaled a long puff of smoke, glanced at Yang Chen, and asked, "Really quit?"

"I quit!" Yang Chen nodded.

"Quitting is good for your health," the dean nodded approvingly.

"Have you thought it through?" the dean asked.

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "I have thought it through."

"Hmm!" The dean leaned back in his chair, waiting for Yang Chen to speak frankly.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chen slowly said, "I... might have seen someone who could be my father..."

"What?" The dean jolted upright, staring at Yang Chen anxiously, "What did you say? What did you just say?"

Yang Chen repeated himself.

The dean was so excited, immediately grabbing Yang Chen and asking, "Where is he? Where's your dad? Did you recognize each other? Right! Not yet, what you've been worried about is this, isn't it?"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, advising, "Dean, don't get too excited just yet. Isn't it still uncertain? I came to find you because I want your help to confirm it, after all, it's been almost twenty years."

The dean took a couple of drags on his cigarette, took a deep breath, and calmed his emotions, asking, "When? Tomorrow? Morning or noon?"

Yang Chen couldn't help but chuckle bitterly, seeing that the dean was indeed very eager.

"But... I'm not sure if I can accept them. I've decided to meet them because I feel I should see them, after all, they gave me life. I also want to know what the people I've missed day and night actually look like. I want to ask them why they abandoned me back then. I want to know, with their wealth and power, they could have found me, so why didn't they?" Yang Chen frowned.

Hearing this, the dean fell silent, his cigarette extinguishing in his trembling hand, then he lit another one and took a deep breath.

"What is their situation now?" the dean asked slowly.

Yang Chen replied, "They created Baisheng Real Estate, with a market value of several hundred billion, and recently spent billions buying more than ten plots of land to build a super business district."

With just a few words, Baisheng Real Estate's powerful strength was evident.

The dean fell silent again.

He couldn't understand either; with such power, why hadn't they gone to Ningchuan to find him? They clearly knew his address and contact information.

"They must have their own difficulties..." the dean said solemnly.

Yang Chen shook his head slightly, "Let's talk about everything tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, he'll go to Longyu Group; he's been going to Longyu Group every day lately to wait, we can go directly tomorrow."

"Well... alright!" The dean's face showed some worry.

He wasn't worried about the recognition issue.

No matter what happened, once the relationship was confirmed, Yang Chen was sure to acknowledge them.

The dean worried about Yang Chen's level of acceptance.

The dean understood well that, for Yang Chen, recognition and acceptance were two completely different concepts.

Both with their own thoughts, they went back to their rooms to rest.

A night without words.

The next day.

Headquarters office building of Baisheng Real Estate's Ancheng branch.

To facilitate work, Baisheng Real Estate had bought a building, showing its substantial wealth.

Fu Zhou and Ruan Ling lived on the top floor.

Last night, neither of them slept well.

After getting up in the morning, neither was in high spirits.

After breakfast, Fu Zhou tidied up and prepared to leave.

But he stopped at the door.

Ruan Ling looked at Fu Zhou's back, her eyes misty.

"Do you think..." Fu Zhou said slowly, "Will he see me today?"

Ruan Ling held back her tears, "As long as we keep going, showing him our sincerity, he'll ultimately see us."

With a sigh, Fu Zhou said, "But... it's been so long, he probably still hates us, right?"

This statement struck Ruan Ling's heart deeply; she could no longer control her emotions, covering her mouth, and crying bitterly.

She could accept everything, but couldn't bear her child's hate.

Yet she was powerless; it happened because she wasn't good enough, and they had to shoulder the consequences.

Fu Zhou's heart was also in turmoil; though he'd experienced such things before, this time was different. This time, he was to meet his child, causing him to feel urgent, anxious, and regretful... All these emotions intertwined, leaving him exhausted and prompting these words.

"I'll try again. Maybe he's been on a business trip and hasn't returned!" Fu Zhou took a deep breath, "Perhaps knowing this, he'll understand our sincerity and agree to meet us!"

Ruan Ling nodded slightly.

Fu Zhou pushed open the door and stepped out.

To the first floor.

Manager Liu was already waiting.

Seeing Fu Zhou come out, Manager Liu immediately approached him, "Chairman Fu, are you going to Longyu Group today?"

"Yes!"

"But, Longyu Group has no sincerity at all, they're not intending to cooperate with our company! We're practically forcing meat into their mouths; they don't want it, surely we don't beg them to eat it?"

"Don't worry about it, I will handle this deal."

"But..." Manager Liu looked puzzled, "Our company can complete this project entirely by ourselves!"

Fu Zhou had already stepped out.

Manager Liu noticed this, face slightly changing. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"No way! We can't let the chairman continue being so foolish! How can we give away money and beg others to take it? I want to see what makes Longyu Group so capable!"

Immediately, Manager Liu called for the driver and headed to Longyu Group.

He had arranged it; Fu Zhou's driver would drive much slower than usual, while his own driver would rush to Longyu Group as quickly as possible, and would try to take more congested routes.

This way, he could have about thirty minutes of time difference.

Those thirty minutes were enough for him to accomplish many things.

Longyu Group.

Today the car used was an Alphard, with enough space to fit enough people inside.

Wei Xueqing, Meng Po, Chen Siyan, Yang Chen, the dean, and Sun Yue were all in the car.

They all got out upon reaching Longyu Group.

Arriving upstairs, the dean remarked: "Is this your company? It's really impressive, very well done!"

Back then, the most they saw were factories, never a company so luxurious.

However, a middle-aged man in a formal suit standing at the door said, "Just a little startup group company, what's so impressive about it, still needs others to survive on charity, doesn't it?"
