Chairman Le was candid, stating from the beginning that the purpose of this meeting was to understand each other's areas of expertise, thereby facilitating the division of labor and organization of research teams. Naturally, the R&D department members did not hide anything, each sharing their work experience and areas of expertise.

Recent graduates went into more detail about the work they did during their internships and expressed their desired research direction.

Mr. Meng and others are not professionals in the medical field. They do not participate in the discussion, but simply listen and observe quietly, analyzing who is suitable to be a team leader.

While Yue Tongxue's discussion with professionals was in full swing, Xuan Sanshao and Jiang Shao, after a journey of more than an hour, finally arrived at the location where the Nalan family was holding a lotus appreciation party.

Just as Jiang Shao guessed, the Nalan family did indeed hold the lotus appreciation party on their family's property.

The Nalan family's properties in Beijing were located in the southwest of the capital, an area with fertile and flat land. The richest parts of the area were manors occupied by the imperial relatives and members of the former dynasty.

The Lan family's businesses consisted mostly of paddy fields, with about one-third being dry land.

When the Lan family acquired the property, they also purchased part of the original manor's courtyard, as well as several houses that were originally intended for tenants.

When their family acquired the property, some houses were already dilapidated or collapsed. The Lan family then replanned, repaired, or rebuilt them.

The direct descendants of the Lan family have long resided in their original homeland outside the Great Wall, while their businesses in Beijing are managed by family members stationed there.

The Lan family decided to hold the lotus appreciation party at their property in the capital. Lan Qishao had already led people to inspect the manor's buildings, making sure everything inside and out was neat and clean.

The original owner of the Tianzhuang Manor had a courtyard house with three sections.

The courtyard is divided into east and west sections. The east section was where the original owner's family stayed every year to escape the summer heat, while the west section has two courtyards, with a garden in the front and another courtyard in the back that also served as living quarters.

The garden features a lotus pond, a waterside pavilion, a rockery, and a gazebo, all exquisitely designed.

Lotus flowers are planted in the pond. The sixth month of the lunar calendar is the peak blooming season for lotus flowers. The lotus flowers peek out from among the green leaves, some are still in bud, some are in full bloom facing the sun, and some are just beginning to emerge.

The young members of the Lan family set up tents and chairs on the grass around the lotus pond, and there were also special tents for boiling water and making tea at intervals.

For this lotus appreciation event, the head of the Nalan family brought some people to the capital to help. He entertained guests in the garden, while Lan Qishao greeted the guests outside the courtyard.

The Lan family also went to great lengths, chartering several buses to transport cultivators who did not own private cars.

Xuan Sanshao, Jiang Shaohua, and others arrived at their destination in a private car before the monks who took the bus.

However, they were not the first group of guests; cultivators who were close to the Lan family and from other cultivator families arrived much earlier.

The car driven by Xuan Sanshao, Jiang Shao, and others stopped outside the Lan family manor. The guards who were driving waited for the young masters to get out of the car before driving it to the parking lot.

Lan Qi Shao was overjoyed to see the large group of young men and quickly stepped forward to greet them.

Then, he saw who was in the crowd. Among them were Jiang Shaohua, Shao Zhou, Shao Ji, Madam Ji, Shao Xin, Shao Tang, Shao Chen, Shao Lü, and Helian Qinghui. There was no young master of the Xuanyuan family!

The young master of the Tang Clan from Chongqing arrived, but Xuan Shao was nowhere to be seen. The joy that had just welled up in Lan Qi Shao's heart instantly faded by half.

Hua Shao and the others worked together seamlessly, always having Xuan Sanshao lead the charge.

Xuan Sanshao, who reluctantly took the lead, accepted the gift from the guard beside him and handed it to Lan Qi, explaining, "My ninth brother has been learning alchemy from his elders during his seclusion in Penglai. Although he has not yet completed his apprenticeship, he is more than qualified to be a medicine apprentice."

During this time, the little girl Le was refining medicinal herbs at the amusement park. Thanks to the little beauty's care, my ninth brother had the opportunity to be her medicine apprentice.

The young lady went to Songhai City a few days ago to treat children, and my ninth brother stayed at the amusement park to help her refine medicinal herbs. He couldn't get away to come to the lotus viewing party.

My ninth brother broke his promise this time. We'll have another chat over tea with Seventh Young Master Lan another time.

"A person who is entrusted with a task should be loyal to it. Young Master Xuan was entrusted by the young lady, so he should naturally prioritize what was entrusted to him." Knowing the reason why Young Master Xuan was unable to come to the Lan family, the disappointment in Lan Qi Shao's heart was swept away.

He accepted the gifts and handed them to the young men of the Lan family, inviting them to move to the garden.

Following the guidance of the Lan family youths, Xuan San Shao walked towards the garden gate. Jiang Shaohua and the others exchanged a few pleasantries with Lan Qi Shao one after another, presented gifts, and then followed the person in front of them.

Stepping into the garden of the Lan Family Manor, the group was immediately struck by its beauty. The garden of the Lan Family Manor was indeed a resort and retreat for royalty and nobility; it was truly exquisite!

They also saw the head of the Nalan family enjoying tea with the young master of the Dongfang family in the waterside pavilion.

As guests, they naturally had to greet the host, so Xuan Sanshao and Jiang Shao and the others walked toward the waterside pavilion.

When Fang Shao saw Zhou Shao and the others walking together, he greeted them with a smile: "You lot are a bit late. I thought you would definitely be here early. I got up before dawn and came early in the night so that I could have a morning tea with you."

"Don't blame us for being late. We won't take the blame for that. You yourself said you got up before dawn and left in the middle of the night. We're not mind readers, how were we supposed to know you'd set off in the middle of the night?"

If we had known, we would have gotten up earlier and traveled in the dark, perhaps even managing to have morning tea with Patriarch Lan and enjoy the beautiful sunrise together.

Young Master Xuan smiled as he ascended the steps and entered the waterside pavilion. He greeted Patriarch Lan, saying, "We juniors greet Patriarch Lan. It's only been two or three months since we last met, but your appearance and demeanor are even more impressive than before. We can only guess that your cultivation has improved, which makes us envious."

The waterside pavilion, built right next to the water, is quite spacious, with four tables arranged in a row, and plenty of open space around it.

Jiang Shao and the others also ascended the steps one by one, entered the waterside pavilion, and greeted the Lan family head. The young man complimented his good complexion, and the Lan family head laughed heartily: "My cultivation has remained as still as water for decades; I hope your auspicious words will help me make some progress."

Kids, sit down, don't be shy.

He called out to the youths, as if he had just made a discovery, and asked them, "Hey, did you leave the young master of the Xuan family behind on the way?"

Jiang Shao and the others followed the host's lead and sat down on the side. Xuan San Shao came on behalf of the Xuan family, who were in charge of the meal, so he didn't stand on ceremony and sat at the same table as the Lan family head.

He had just sat down when he heard the Lan family head ask the young master of the Xuanyuan family, and he smiled and repeated the explanation he had given to Lan Qishao.

Upon hearing this, the Lan family head smiled and asked, "You also came from Paradise?"

"Yes." Xuan Sanshao said frankly, "My ninth brother likes to cook and gets along well with the children in the amusement park. Knowing that the children are curious about different flavors of zongzi, my family made a lot of zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival and wanted to send some to the children in the amusement park."

When Jiang Shao and Zhou Shao went home for the festival, they brought a lot of Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings with them and asked me to have a get-together to share them. I intercepted all their rice dumplings and took them to the amusement park to feed the children.

The young lady, loving the house and knowing that we were all idle rich kids who didn't do any productive work, decided to let us stay at the amusement park for a while, since we wouldn't miss our family's villa.

We're a group of tough folks, and since the host didn't directly tell us to leave, we've been staying until today.

"Young Master Xuan said a few things, and we're not only tough and thick-skinned, but also a bit hard of hearing," Young Master Jiang added.

"The reaction time is also a bit long."

Ji Shao and the others echoed his sentiments.

The group of young masters made fun of themselves, which made Young Master Fang feel quite uncomfortable. Young Master Jiang and Young Master Zhou had such great chemistry!

What could the Lan family head say when the young masters of several ancient cultivation families tarnished their own image like this? He could only change the subject.

Xuan Sanshao and the others chatted with the Lan family head for a while. The young people of the Lan family brought freshly brewed tea into the waterside pavilion, and then brought a plate of dried fruit.

After everyone had finished their tea and were about to wander around, the bus rented by the Lan family arrived with a full load of guests.

If cultivators arrive and leave the waterside pavilion at this time, everyone will think they are trying to distance themselves from the Lan family and make others perceive them as distinct from the Lan family.

Jiang Shao and the others were not fools and would not do anything that would give others cause for criticism. They remained in the waterside pavilion chatting with the Lan family head and Fang Shaozhu.

When a group of guests entered the Lan family garden, they naturally went to visit the head of the Lan family first.

When the cultivators entered, Jiang Shao and the others took the initiative to offer them seats. They sat on the benches in the waterside pavilion first. After a group of guests met with the host, drank tea, and suggested going to enjoy the scenery, they also left together to stroll through the garden.

Jiang Shao and his group were going to enjoy the scenery, and Fang Shao volunteered to be their guide.

The Lan family made ample preparations, even building several bamboo rafts and placing them along the edge of the lotus pond, so anyone interested could take a raft to the pond to pick lotus flowers and leaves.

At this time, the lotus flowers are just blooming, and there are no lotus pods yet, so we can only harvest the lotus leaves and flowers.

Xuan Sanshao, Jiang Shaohua, and others were in high spirits. They went to fetch a small clay stove and tea set, boarded a bamboo raft, rowed into the center of the lotus pond, and, hidden among the lotus leaves, happily brewed tea.

Fang Shao successfully blended into the group of young men, looked at them with an expression of self-admiration: "You handsome men are indeed refined people, to think of such an elegant thing as brewing tea in the lotus pond."

If you asked me to plan some refined activities, the only thing I could think of was rowing a raft to pick a few lotus leaves and flowers, or at most, fishing in a pond.

"Hey, Young Master Fang, why didn't you remind me sooner? We should have made a few more fishing rods before we came. Quickly, check if there are any fish in the pond." Young Master Ji immediately stretched his neck to search.

"That's right, why didn't we think of fishing in the pond!"

“We not only lack fishing rods, but also grills. If we could get a grill and fishing rods, we could grill the fish we catch right away. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

"Great idea! If possible, we can also get a hook and bring up a few sections of lotus root to grill together, a good combination of meat and vegetables."

"With lotus root, there's bound to be a lack of wine; we'll have to get a jar of wine."

Now things are really going well, and everyone is offering their suggestions and ideas.

Through collective wisdom and effort, a perfect plan for a boat trip and dinner was devised.

Laughter and chatter filled the air amidst the lotus leaves in the pond.

Hearing the laughter of Jiang Shao and the others, the cultivators who arrived later also boarded bamboo rafts and rowed into the pool, where they had a poolside gathering with Xuan Sanshao and the others.

Those who couldn't board the bamboo raft brewed tea on the shore.

The young people of the Lan family are always ready to provide tea stoves and tea sets for guests, and promptly deliver fruit pits, charcoal, or dried fruit. Some of them prepare lunch in the courtyard behind the garden.

The younger generation of the Lan family were busy, and the head of the Lan family felt very pleased. From the current perspective, the Lan family's lotus appreciation party was a great success!
