After getting up, Shang Lin immediately woke Xing Tian up, told him what Fan Mingyu meant, and then asked, "Can you handle a building materials company? If not, I'll ask Uncle Xing for help."

Xing Tian was not quite used to Old Man Chai's body at first, but when he heard the word "can't", he immediately perked up. "Sect Master, a man can't say he can't. I'm very capable, okay? Don't forget, my father started his business in real estate. Real estate is inseparable from building materials. As a top student that my family has tried their best to cultivate, I must have some skills."

Shang Lin didn't doubt this, but asked, "Do you have any practical experience?"

Xing Tian glanced at Shang Lin with an air of disdain, "Sect Master, please do not doubt my strength."

Shang Lin smiled, "Alright. But whether you can get Fan Mingyu to join our sect willingly is up to you."

Xing Tian glanced at She Jinxing subconsciously and said with some regret, "It seems our filming has to be suspended. Luckily, we had some videos saved before, otherwise it would have greatly affected our popularity. Not being able to appear openly in front of people is really a big constraint."

She Jinxing said with no small amount of pride, "Now I can appear in public."

Xing Tian, ​​"..."

What should I do if I feel like hitting him?

Hu Tangdi brought out breakfast from the kitchen and said frankly, "Sect Leader, I think we should move to a bigger house, otherwise it's really a bit cramped."

"Change it, we'll change it next year." Sect Master Shang said with particular arrogance. "However, the martial arts school needs initial funding, so we still need to plan our expenses carefully."

"...Okay." They haven't had much income lately, and the remaining payment from the ginseng sale isn't even enough to cover a year's rent for the martial arts school.

After dinner, Shang Lin took She Jinxing and Xing Tian to find Fan Mingyu. Hu Tangdi was still at home making clothes. Qiu Niang was reincarnated. They were preparing to close their ancient style clothing business, but the fans were so enthusiastic that they kept waiting.

Hu Tangdi had nothing to do for the time being, so she started fiddling around again. However, she only took on relatively simple jobs. Although the prices were low, the speed was fast, and as long as there were many orders, she could still make money.

When Shang Lin arrived at Fan Mingyu's construction company with his men, Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu were also there. Shang Lin saw that they didn't react much, and even felt that it was commendable that they didn't kick Fan Mingyu when he was down and even came to help him.

However, when Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu saw Shang Lin, their expressions immediately changed. Looking at the two people beside him, a young man and his godfather, what was going on with this father and son appearing together?

Besides, isn't his godfather supposed to have poor eyesight? He doesn't look like he has any problems with his eyesight at all right now. Did he recover in a short time, or... was he faking it when he went to school before to gain their sympathy?

Zhou Heng's mind went on alert. He already felt that Shang Lin was unfathomable and didn't want to get too close to him. Now that Fan Mingyu's family was in this situation, he was worried that the other party would take advantage of the situation.

When Fan Mingyu saw "Old Man Chai," he was also taken aback. His thoughts were similar to Zhou Heng's. He immediately looked at Shang Lin and asked in confusion, "Uncle's eyes are better?!"

Shang Lin inwardly sighed, having forgotten about that, but replied calmly, "It's alright, but my godfather is getting old, so we don't know if it will relapse."

That explanation made sense, but Fan Mingyu continued, "Then why did your uncle come with you? Is it because he's worried about you?"

As Fan Mingyu spoke, he glanced at She Jinxing again. He was convinced that this was the young man his father had mentioned before his death, the one who was by Shang Lin's side. With someone with off-the-charts combat skills around, was there any need for his godfather to stay with him? On the contrary, wasn't he the one in more danger?

Shang Lin spoke frankly, "My godfather is an outside helper I found. My cousin can go out on business, but the company needs someone to keep things in order, right? Aren't you going back to school after the holiday?"

Before Fan Mingyu could say anything, Zhou Heng hurriedly asked Shang Lin, "What do you mean? Are you trying to seize Mingyu's company?" His tone was extremely unpleasant.

Fu Xinyu, however, played the good cop, saying, "Shang Lin, although we had a small unpleasantness before, it's all in the past now. We're all classmates, so I don't expect you to help me out, but please don't kick me when I'm down!"

Shang Lin's expression remained unchanged, and even the smile on his face did not change. "How did you know I came here to kick someone when they're down? Couldn't I have come here to offer help in their time of need?"

Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu both looked at Fan Mingyu, clearly asking, "Really? How is that possible?"

In the short time Zhou Heng and the others were talking, Fan Mingyu had already figured it out. Shang Lin said he would help him through the difficulties as long as he joined the Yuntai Sect, but wasn't that just another form of annexation?

The only difference is that Shang Lin's takeover is more lenient compared to those outsiders who want to directly divide up their companies. Also, they might end up getting more money.

So Fan Mingyu nodded to Zhou Heng, "Really, let's go inside and talk about it first."

He hadn't expected his childhood friends to come looking for him, but he couldn't hide it from them again, especially since they were classmates and he would be spending more time with them in the next three years than with his family. So he decided to just meet them face to face.

The company's office space is not large, but the warehouse is huge. It is an independent courtyard in the suburbs. I don't know if it's because of the holiday or because the company is in a bad situation, but there is no one guarding the gate and everything is locked.

Fan Mingyu, carrying various keys, led Shang Lin and the others into the office area. Apart from being quiet and a bit dusty, there was no indication that the company might be going bankrupt.

Fan Mingyu led the person directly to his father's office, then pointed to the computer on the desk, "I don't know the specifics of the company, because my dad's computer won't open."

Xing Tian immediately said, "I can give it a try."

Xing Tian was now acting as Old Man Chai's face, so as soon as he said this, he was immediately questioned by Fan Mingyu and the other two. After all, the age of elites in computer science should be around thirty years old, and being over fifty is a bit too old.

Especially since Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu didn't trust Shang Lin, they naturally wouldn't trust the people he brought either. So before Fan Mingyu could say anything, Zhou Heng preemptively said, "No way, Uncle's computer contains company secrets. What if you break it?"

Xing Tian especially wanted to say, "If it gets ruined, I'll have my dad buy the company and we'll start over."

But he wasn't the real person now, so he could only say, "I'm still very capable, and how many confidential documents could a building materials company have? I don't think this company is very big; it's probably good if it can earn tens of millions a year."

Fan Mingyu was startled and asked instinctively, "How did you figure that out?"
