Chen Residence.
With steam filling the bathroom, Ling was soaking in the bathtub. He's trying a new recipe now. This herb is blood red.
"Young Master, it's time to eat," called Uncle Qian from the outside who Ling could still hear.
Ling opened his eyes. He got up from the tub and cleaned himself. Then she wrapped her body in a towel. He took his clothes and put them on.
It seemed like it would take him another long time to break through to the eighth level. Unless he uses a lot of potions. It will quickly rise in level without risk.
When searching for something in the desk drawer, his phone goes off and shows a notification on his screen. He casually typed a reply.
[No.]
He then put the phone in his pocket. He came out of the room and carried something in his hand.

Chen Qi and Chen Lin were already at the dining table. Chen Qi suddenly remembered something. "Where's Chen Sin?"
"I heard he was looking for someone," Chen Lin replied. Suddenly he felt a touch in his hair from behind. He also looked.
"Ling!" shocks surprised.
"Mother, do you like this hairpin? I took it as a gift yesterday" Ling said giving Chen Lin a small mirror.
Chen Lin looked at his face in front of the mirror. He saw a golden hairpin filled with tiny pearls. There are also strands of the gem that stuck out not too long. Looks very elegant.
"I like it very much" Chen Lin replied as she held onto her hairpin.
Ling sat down near Chen Qi. He could see Chen Qi had to smile. He glanced back at Chen Lin who was still looking at his hairpin.
That pretty face looks so tired.
"Grandfather, is there a problem?" ask Ling.
Chen Qi looked at Ling in wonder. He doesn't usually ask about his problems. They also never told Ling because they knew the nature of the child.
"No problem," Chen Qi replied while trying to smile more sincerely.
Ling picked up the document that was next to Chen Qi. He read it at a glance, then said, "Asset decreases. Didn't Chen Company just cut a few contracts with a few companies today? This proposal is not a good solution. It just helps a little solve the problem."
Chen Qi almost choked on his own tea. How could Ling understand the contents of the proposal in a few minutes? He can even deduce the problem and point out the shortcomings of the proposal? Is this still his granddaughter whom he knew?
"You won't understand," Chen Qi said after returning his consciousness.
"Let's eat, then" he continued, trying to divert the conversation. Seeing Chen Qi who did not want to talk any further, Ling chose to eat and kept quiet. The table feels very quiet now.
After quite a long silence, uncle Qian opened his voice, "Young Master, Young Master Zhuo is here. The Zhuo Family also brought something for you."
Ling glanced at Liam who was behind uncle Qian. "Get up" he ordered. His voice was soft and firm at the same time.
Liam doesn't seem to be offended by that. After saying goodbye to Chen Qi and Chen Lin, Liam went up to Ling's orders.
After all they were happy to see Ling and Liam making friends. Even uncle Qian told Ling to lick him. According to them, Liam was the most powerful of the two.
But it can be seen now who is more domineering.
"Grandfather, Mother, calm yourself first. I'm going back to the room" Ling said walking casually towards the stairs.
Ling opened the door. At that moment he was immediately greeted by a roar from Liam.
"Look! Mr. Yuan wants to add you as a friend" Liam pointed out.
Ling took the phone and closed the app.
"Why did you close the app? You didn't see Master Yuan adding you as a friend? Why are you ...,"
Liam's words stopped because Ling said, "Is that a problem for you?" asked Ling coldly. He sat in front of his computer.
"Certainly it doesn't matter to me," Liam replied, venturing out.
"Good then" said Ling.
He was still casually typing on his computer. Liam tilted his head to look at Ling's face. He was now convinced that Ling was not interested in Yuan Ming.
However, weren't they talking about Yuan Ming? A famous person who came from Shadow City. He is talented and his achievements need not be doubted. If Ling had a good relationship with him, Ling's future would have been assured.
"What are you doing?" liam asked after he was done with his thoughts.
He saw Ling's handsome face that was emitting a white light from the computer. He sat with his fingers on a black keyboard. His fingers moved smoothly over the keyboard. It's so fun to see.
"Open the door" Ling said without answering Liam's question.
"Open door? Why?" liam asked confusedly. After a few seconds someone knocked on the door. He immediately remembered the bell ringing in the training arena.
Liam walked towards the door. It used to be a coincidence when Ling knew something. But looking at it now, he was a genius who could predict anything. His powerful presence made anyone would obey his orders. Especially his sharp eyes. Even Chen Qi's gaze was less frightening than Ling's.
It turned out to be uncle Qian. He brought cookies for them. Liam who saw this instantly sparkled. Instantly his mind was distracted from the matter.
After giving the plate to Liam, uncle Qian turned to leave.
Ling typed his last word then turned the chair. He looked at Uncle Qian inside then said, "Uncle Qian, what's been going on with Chen Company lately?"
He saw Chen Lin's tired face earlier. Although he knew Chen Lin was busy, but this time it was different. His face looks very tired. Let alone seeing Chen Qi's forced smile, he was sure that something was wrong with the company. Because only the company can get them to this.
Uncle Qian froze and looked at Ling. Although the question was simple, it was enough to surprise her. His body movements showed he was very relaxed, but his gaze was a little cold.
"Since Chen Company rejected Wuzhou's proposal, your uncle and the other shareholders have been unhappy" replied Uncle Qian. He usually doesn't tell Ling the company's problems. However after seeing Ling's talent for the past few days in the training arena, he was sure Ling had already changed.
He pondered for a moment before deciding to tell it all. "You know, your uncle is the biggest shareholder in Chen Company. She likes Wuzhou better than you because ...,"
Uncle Qian did not continue his last sentence. But Ling understood his point.
In everyone's eyes he was still a useless person. On the other hand, Wuzhou is a famous business genius. How does it compare to Wuzhou? Even if he showed his talent, they would still underestimate him.
