Yang Fei could tell that these young people were grateful to the old man.

Each of them was very filial and willing to listen to what the elder had to say.

However, such a situation could not continue forever.

After all, life is cruel.

Under the pressure of life, kind people can turn into devils.

Even the most honest people may take risks out of desperation.

How could he solve this problem?

Yang Fei pondered hard.

Suddenly, an amazing idea came to his mind.

But Yang Fei's idea was only in its infancy.

Before forming a plan, he could not speak rashly.

Seeing the troubled expression on Yang Fei's face, the old man waved his hand to dismiss the young people.

He laughed heartily and said, "Actually, I have figured it out. I can't hold on to this land after all."

"The children are grown up and each has their own path to take, it's better to hand over the land to you rather than to some unscrupulous developers."

He looked at Yang Fei with a beaming smile and patted his shoulder.

"I get along well with you, kid. I believe you are a good person."

Mad Blade and Lin Xueyi were pleasantly surprised.

Neither of them had expected that Yang Fei's intervention would resolve the issue so smoothly.

Yang Fei had his own thoughts.

He earnestly said, "Elder Gong, we hit it off at first sight, and I understand your concerns."

"Rest assured, I will take care of the livelihood issues of these brothers."

"What, you have a way?"

Old Man Gong was exceptionally delighted.

The future of these children had always been a source of anxiety for him.

Hearing that Yang Fei had a solution, he suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky.

Yang Fei nodded and whispered something to Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xueyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Yang Fei turned back around and offered a proposition that Elder Gong could not refuse.

"Those brothers who practice martial arts, as long as they don't mind, can start working at Lanting Group from tomorrow."

"At first, they may have to take on some security work, but as the group grows, there will be more suitable positions."

Lin Xueyi, having received a hint from Yang Fei, continued with a smile.

"The salary isn't much, a guaranteed minimum of four thousand a month, plus a five hundred yuan attendance bonus. Moreover, the company will also cover the five social insurances and one housing fund."

"Are you serious?"

Elder Gong could hardly believe his ears.

Though conservative, he was not out of touch with reality.

He knew that nowadays, the salary for unskilled labor that only involved physical work was hardly three thousand yuan a month, which was very unstable.

If they ran into an unscrupulous boss, they might not get a penny, let alone any benefits such as the five insurances and one fund.

Lin Xueyi nodded, "It's true. The Lanting Group is just getting started. In the future, as the company develops, wages and benefits can increase."

Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Yang Fei almost spat out blood.

The capitalistic Sister Xueyi, after all, I am a long-time employee of Lanting, earning only one thousand five hundred a month. Yet these newcomers get such generous treatment?

However, Yang Fei could also understand Lin Xueyi's point.

With the small revenue and slim margins of Lanting Hotel, bringing in less than twenty thousand pieces a month, Lin Xueyi could indeed only afford to pay a salary of two thousand yuan for an odd-job man.

But now things were different, Lin Xueyi had become the owner of a high-end brand.

And under the Lanting umbrella, including the businesses joined by Li Shun, there were already more than twenty enterprises.

Lanting Group had already begun to take the shape of a large conglomerate, and naturally, their recruitment efforts were on a grand scale.

"Great, fantastic..."

Old Man Gong's face was full of joy, rubbing his hands together again and again.

He was just about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

"Wait, you're not going to let these kids get involved in society the wrong way, are you?"

Yang Fei knew this was Old Man Gong's biggest taboo.

He smiled faintly and said, "Elder Gong, rest assured, we are legitimate businessmen, not involved in that kind of society."

After a thought, he added another sentence, "Of course, business dealings might involve some conflicts in the Mortal World."

"But as long as nobody bullies us, we will definitely not get involved in the strife of the Underworld."

Yang Fei knew what Old Man Gong was worried about and made his stance clear first.

After all, the big Buddha from the Provincial City was still eyeing Yannan eagerly, the Assassin Group was also not yet willing to give up on Su Yinxue.

And the Eldest Senior Brother from Xuan Ying Pavilion, who indirectly died at Yang Fei's hand, also certainly wouldn't let things rest.

Once the conflicts in the Mortal World start, it is hard to turn back.

In case a fight really breaks out, this statement would also serve as an explanation to Old Man Gong.

Old Man Gong nodded, saying with a profound meaning, "That's good, I understand what you're saying."

"The way of the martial artist, never to suffer indignity, that's the spirit of us martial learners."

What followed became exceptionally simple.

Old Man Gong took out the original land use certificates and property deeds and had Lin Xueyi handle the transfer procedures.

And his disciples, upon learning the decision of Lanting Hotel, immediately became much friendlier towards Yang Fei and the others.

After all, the recruitment terms offered by Lin Xueyi were extremely generous.

For the odd-job men without diplomas, without skills, this job was something they could only dream of.

This time, Yang Fei not only successfully took over the old supply and marketing cooperative building.

But he also solved a big problem for Old Man Gong, it could be considered a win-win situation.

With everything coming to a satisfying conclusion, Yang Fei's plans had just begun.

Up to now, the acquisition plan devised by Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi ended perfectly.

The total acquisition amount reached two hundred and thirty million, including five office buildings, two public old buildings, and the old supply and marketing cooperative building.

All these buildings are in prime street-facing locations within the planned area.

And most importantly, they are not within the demolition red line.

Once the old town is renovated and the economic development zone is completed, with further improvements in public facilities in University Town,

the plots and buildings Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi bought today will turn into golden phoenixes laying golden eggs.

Throughout the process of acquisition and land encirclement, Su Yinxue never appeared.

Yet, under her powerful network of connections, everything went so smoothly it was hard to believe.

After this incident, Yang Fei became even more convinced.

Su Yinxue, this female CEO, was definitely no ordinary person.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and if Su Yinxue didn't speak, Yang Fei wouldn't ask.

Yang Fei calculated the time,

Fang Tang and Fan Song should be able to reach Yannan City by tomorrow morning at the latest.

He and Lin Xueyi discussed it and stealthily spread the news of the old town renovation.

The method of spreading was simple yet secretive.

Lin Xueyi got on well with these neighbors.

Visiting each other and chatting was a regular occurrence.

Most importantly, this area was in the center of economic development.

The neighbors in the old town have been longing day and night for the demolition and renovation project to start.

Unfortunately, despite many years, they hadn't received any exact news; rumors, on the other hand, were rampant.

So, Lin Xueyi, pretending to slip up, leaked the information to a neighbor known for gossiping, with secrecy and restraint.

In less than half a day, the news about the renovation of the old town spread like wildfire, causing an uproar.
