Xu Lanzhi was initially very concerned about what the Bodhisattva's manifestation was all about, but after hearing Tang Qiqi's explanation, she instantly felt relieved. That's exactly what happened.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, as long as you follow your heart and maintain a kind heart while starting a business and getting rich with your family, that's enough.

The rest of the Tang family listened to Xu Lanzhi, who then took the opportunity to tell everyone that they should always keep a kind heart, so as not to let down the Bodhisattva's blessing.

From then on, everyone in Tangji was convinced of the Bodhisattva's miraculous appearance, except for Qingfeng, who felt that it was Tang Qiqi who had done it again.

The giant the Bodhisattva spoke of, isn't that the big guy? But that big guy doesn't work on his own. Qingfeng knows better than anyone how the mountain was carved out.

So Qingfeng found an opportunity to ask Tang Qiqi, "Little girl, how did you manage to make the Bodhisattva appear?"

Tang Qiqi neither admitted nor denied it, only saying, "Uncle, water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers. Why do you have to ask so clearly? I'm just asking you, many workers will be coming tomorrow, are you happy or not!"

Qingfeng frankly admitted: "Of course it's funny. You Tang family soldiers have a lot of affairs to deal with, but you're really not good at this kind of work. You guys are driving me crazy!"

Tang Qiqi laughed heartily: "Uncle is right. Expecting us to build the factory would take forever. So, the problem has been solved, so you can just focus on leading everyone to work. Why bother with those unimportant things?"

"Uncle, go back and get some sleep. When you come back tomorrow morning, there'll probably be a long line of people signing up for work!"

In this way, the rumors that the location of the factory was inauspicious were dispelled, and everyone recognized Tang Ji's benevolence and that what they were doing was for the benefit of the people.

As a result, countless people applied to build the factory, so Qingfeng was extremely selective, requiring only skilled personnel.

Once the workers were selected, Qingfeng first organized everyone to dig the foundation and lay the stone embankment, while also busy purchasing the timber and other materials needed for building the factory.

Fortunately, the Tang family trusted those they employed and entrusted Qingfeng with all matters. They assured him that as long as Qingfeng asked, they would provide every penny.

Qingfeng was also grateful for the Tang family's kindness and worked extra hard!

The Tang family would come every few days to ask Qingfeng what he needed, but they wouldn't interfere otherwise. However, Qingfeng noticed that a young man who had come with the Tang family before was always at the construction site lately, eagerly taking on any work that came his way.

Qingfeng was very curious, so he called him over and asked, "Kid, are you a member of the Tang family?"

The child said, "Mrs. Xu is my aunt. My name is Tang Ziqiang, and I take my mother's surname!"

Qingfeng nodded and said, "You're here to earn money?"

Ziqiang replied, "Master Qing, I didn't come here to make money; I just want to learn your skills!"

Qingfeng scrutinized the child before him and asked, "What skills do you want to learn from me?"

Ziqiang said earnestly, "I want to learn everything that Master knows, whether it's carpentry or building houses. Master, can you teach me?"

Qingfeng scoffed and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to call me master. I don't accept disciples. Go back now!"

Ziqiang knelt down with a thud and pleaded, "Master, please have pity on me and take me in. I can endure any hardship. I want to learn some skills so I can support my mother in the future!"

Qingfeng became interested: "Since Madam Xu is your aunt, and you have the surname Tang, aren't you a member of the Tang family? Could it be that Xu Lanzhi's kindness and benevolence are just for show, and she secretly can't tolerate you?"

Ziqiang hurriedly said, "My aunt is the best person in the world. She rescued my mother and my brothers from the fire, treated my mother well, and even supported my brothers' schooling. But I can't rely on my aunt for the rest of my life. I want to learn a skill so that I can support my mother and help my aunt!"

Qingfeng was moved by Ziqiang's clear life plan. Many adults live their lives in a daze, not knowing what to do, but this child has a clear plan.

This child is being raised by the Xu family, yet he has no interest in their wealth and wants to make a living on his own. He's quite principled.

Qingfeng immediately decided to take the child in, but he still told Ziqiang, "Child, if you really want to learn from me, you need to promise me two things. First, you need your parents' permission. Second, I have a bad temper and high standards. Learning from me will be tough, and you'll have to endure it. Go back and think about it now. When you can do both of these things, come back to me!"

Tang Ziqiang was overjoyed and kept kowtowing to Qingfeng: "This disciple thanks Master. I will go back and ask my mother and aunt right away!" After saying that, he ran back in a flash.

Aofeng unconsciously curled his lips into a smile. It seems he'll have a companion from now on!

The next day, not only Tang Ziqiang came, but Xu Lanzhi and Tang Qiumei also came.

Ziqiang rushed over to Qingfeng excitedly as soon as he saw him and said, "Master, Master, my mother and aunt have both agreed. They said it's my blessing to be able to learn from you!"

Before Qingfeng could speak, Xu Lanzhi smiled and said to Ziqiang, "Ziqiang, how can you be so unruly? Becoming a disciple is a serious matter. How can you be so boisterous?"

Ziqiang looked at Xu Lanzhi embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, I was just too excited!"

Xu Lanzhi smiled gently at him, then led Tang Qiumei to curtsy to Qingfeng and said, "Master Qingfeng, my nephew admires your skills and wants to learn from you. I brought his mother with me today, and I beg you to accept this child."

Qingfeng said bluntly, "I told this child that as long as you agree and he is willing to endure hardship, I will take him in. Actually, Madam Xu didn't need to make this trip!"

Xu Lanzhi said respectfully, "Master Qingfeng cares for Ziqiang and is not bothered by trifles, which shows your character. But as parents, we should at least learn from you in person."

"Master Qingfeng, Ziqiang has had a tough childhood, suffering a lot as a child. But despite his young age, he's incredibly ambitious. He's determined to give his mother and younger brother a better life when he grows up!"

Qingfeng said approvingly, "So, Ziqiang is a good kid with his own opinions. Since you two are willing for him to learn from me, I will accept him as my apprentice today!"

Tang Qiumei, who had been at a loss for words, finally spoke up: "Then thank you very much, Master Qingfeng!"

Xu Lanzhi said happily, "Ziqiang, your master has already spoken, why don't you come and become his disciple!"

Ziqiang walked over and respectfully kowtowed three times to Qingfeng. Tang Qiumei then handed him a teacup and said, "Please have some tea, Master!"

After Ziqiang finished offering the tea to his master, Qingfeng helped him up. Xu Lanzhi then brought over a tray and said politely, "Thank you, Master Qingfeng, for accepting Ziqiang as your disciple. This is a small gift that my mother and I prepared for the master-disciple ceremony. Please accept it, Master Qingfeng!"

Qingfeng was somewhat displeased and frowned, saying, "Madam Xu, you're being too polite. I, Qingfeng, have always done things only according to my own preferences. I'm very unhappy with what you're doing!"

Xu Lanzhi continued in a gentle tone, "We know Master Qingfeng's character, but as parents, we are overjoyed that our child has found such a good master. These things are not worth much money, but they are our tokens of our appreciation. Please accept them, Master Qingfeng."

Qingfeng initially disliked it, but then he thought that Xu Lanzhi was Ziqiang's aunt, and it was already commendable that she could do so much for a nephew. If he were to nitpick, it would seem unreasonable of him.

So Qingfeng said, "Since that's the case, I'll respectfully accept your offer. But let me make this clear: learning from me is no ordinary hardship. Now that you've kowtowed, you'll have to listen to me from now on, and no one is allowed to show you any mercy."

Tang Qiumei quickly agreed, saying, "Master, please discipline him as you see fit. It's a blessing he's accumulated over many lifetimes to be able to learn from you."

Xu Lanzhi also said, "As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces outstanding students. Master Qingfeng, rest assured, we will never interfere with your teaching of your children."

After saying that, he said to Ziqiang, "Ziqiang, you chose to learn this skill yourself, so you must persevere and not let your mother down!"

Ziqiang nodded earnestly and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all this time, Aunt. I will definitely learn my skills well and not let my mother and Aunt down!"

Tang Qiumei felt reluctant to part with him. Holding Ziqiang's hand, she said, "Child, you must take good care of yourself from now on, learn your skills from your master, and don't worry about your mother."

Ziqiang comforted Qiumei, saying, "Mother, although I'm just learning a craft, I haven't left Tangji yet. With you like this, it feels like I'm going to the ends of the earth!"
