Only Zhou Xuelan, holding a sun hat, muttered complaints quietly beside her.

"Ugh! I'm going to have another bad night's sleep!"

Bai Yejin blushed and started playfully fighting with Zhou Xuelan.

However, Lin Yifeng did not stay here for long this time. After confirming that Shuiyun Town was not causing any more trouble, he rested for two days and then returned to Muye City.

After all, he still needed to oversee Pang Donglai's affairs in Makino City.

However, as soon as Lin Yifeng returned to Muye City, he saw Xu Qingyi come to the office with a worried look on her face.

Seeing Xu Qingyi's depressed expression, Lin Yifeng thought something had happened to Pang Donglai.

"What's wrong, Qingyi?"

Xu Qingyi frowned, avoiding Lin Yifeng's gaze.

Only after Lin Yifeng pressed him repeatedly did he begin to explain.

After returning from Shanghai, Xu Wanxia discussed it with him for a whole night, saying that she wanted to take the college entrance exam and insisted on taking it in Shanghai.

Xu Qingyi originally thought that Xu Wanxia was blinded by the prosperity of the big city, and was just about to teach her younger sister a lesson.

Little did she know that Xu Wanxia gave Xu Qingyi a reason she couldn't refuse.

She wanted to help Brother Feng.

Hearing this, Lin Yifeng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He had known for a long time that Xu Wanxia was studious.

Lin Yifeng originally planned to have Xu Wanxia try out for special admissions when he had time, to see if she could continue her studies at university.

But before he could even speak, Xu Wanxia made this request first.

Xu Qingyi felt a headache coming on whenever she thought about this problem.

In her sister's eyes, her brother Lin Yifeng could help him run business and handle many things, while Xu Wanxia handled the small things behind the scenes.

Xu Wanxia hoped that she could also work for Lin Yifeng, at least not just be a pretty face.

There is only one reason why Xu Qingyi felt so guilty.

That's money!

Having been to Shanghai and experienced the cost of living in a first-tier city, Xu Qingyi knew better than anyone that supporting her younger sister through four years of university in Shanghai would definitely be a considerable expense.

Lin Yifeng provided them with food, drink, and lodging, so Xu Qingyi felt too embarrassed to ask for anything more.

He had asked Guo Fengsheng about this beforehand.

Guo Fengsheng meant that he should talk to Lin Yifeng and not try to shoulder the burden alone.

Lin Yifeng was both amused and exasperated when he heard Xu Qingyi's concerns.

"Qingyi, you're treating me like an outsider."

"Brother Feng, I..."

"Money is not a problem. You don't need to worry about this. Just let Wanxia go to school, and I will cover all the expenses."

Lin Yifeng was in a great mood.

The cost of studying in Shanghai is a drop in the ocean compared to the current income from my businesses.

But if a college student can be trained in Shanghai and brought back to Shanghai, its value is self-evident.

Without giving Lin Yifeng a chance to react, Xu Qingyi immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lin Yifeng, each kowtow being exceptionally sincere and making a loud thud on the ground.

"Thank you, Brother Feng!"

This scene startled Lin Yifeng, who couldn't help but recall when they first met, back when he was just an ordinary student at the train station.

This is how Xu Qingyi kowtowed to him and acknowledged him as her master.

"Alright."

"What's all this commotion about!"

"You're Wallace's manager, after all. If outsiders see this, what will they say about you!"

Xu Qingyi scratched his head awkwardly, realizing that he had gotten a little carried away.

After things calmed down a bit, Lin Yifeng got down to business.

"By the way, how's things going with Pang Donglai lately?"

Xu Qingyi also confidently reported on her work results.

From the renovation and construction to the subsequent arrangements and setup, everything is basically done.

Most importantly, Guo Fengsheng and his team have already contacted people to prepare for the installation of the escalator that Lin Yifeng strongly requested.

Currently, the biggest expense in Pang Donglai's renovation is the three sets of escalators.

A set of one unit on top and one on the bottom would cost 200,000 yuan, and that's for a domestic joint venture. If you use imported units, the three-unit assembly would cost 1.5 million yuan.

The fact that Lin Yifeng spent 600,000 yuan just to install an elevator still shocked Xu Qingyi. This was a lot of Lin Yifeng’s investment in Pang Donglai.

All things considered, Pang Donglai must have spent at least 2 million yuan on land purchase and various renovation costs.

Instead of chatting with Xu Qingyi here, Lin Yifeng decided to head over to Factory 134 to take a look.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; even Lin Yifeng himself was shocked.

During his absence, the entire perimeter of Factory 134 was fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows made of tinted glass, making the first to fourth floors of the factory particularly bright under the sun.

Most importantly, the three red signs for "Pang Donglai" have been hung in the very center.

At the entrance, the glass door has been completed, the first floor has long been paved with white tiles, and brand new light bulbs have been hung inside.

Many shops on the first floor have already started renovations, and this part is invested by the merchants who have moved in.

The first to third floors already have very few vacant shops. According to Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng, businesses in Muye City are showing great enthusiasm for moving in.

They have already begun screening the merchants who are preparing to join the platform.

The most popular spots are the hot and cold drink stalls near the entrance, where people have already started bidding against each other.

The fourth floor is still under renovation. Lin Yifeng gave them a remaining payment of one million yuan, and they still have about 100,000 yuan left.

They handled both the renovation and the floor tile installation themselves, which saved them a lot of money.
