A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan never imagined that one day science and metaphysics could be so seamlessly intertwined.

Even more unexpectedly, these words came from the mouth of his master, who had been practicing Taoism for many years.

For a moment, I felt something was off, a kind of inexplicable sense of unease.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder people often say that the end of science is metaphysics!"

The group chatted as they returned to the company.

As soon as he entered, the receptionist greeted him and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Qu arrived very early this morning and is waiting in the reception room now."

Su Fan had clearly arranged to meet Qu Feiming in the afternoon, but he didn't expect Qu Feiming to arrive so early in the morning.

As the three entered the reception room, they saw Qu Feiming sitting on the sofa with his hands on his knees, his body ramrod straight, and his expression showing a hint of awkwardness and restraint.

As soon as someone pushed the door open and came in, Qu Feiming suddenly raised his head, his gaze falling on Zhang Lingyuan and Xu Xingzhi. He was stunned for only a moment before he knelt down with a thud.

"Disciple Qu Feiming pays respects to Grandmaster! Pays respects to Master!"

Su Fan was startled and quickly stepped forward to help the man up: "Old Qu, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"

Zhang Lingyuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, we're all family, no need for such formalities. Get up. It's been so many years, you seem to be in pretty good health."

Xu Xingzhi said, "It's been many years since I last saw you. That skinny young man from back then is now one of the top figures in this industry."

With Su Fan's help, Qu Feiming stood up, his eyes already red and his voice trembling: "Back then, I was only able to get by thanks to my sect, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

Just then, He Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but open her mouth wide and froze on the spot.

Someone was supposed to come in to deliver tea, but when she heard that Su Fan and the others had returned, she took the tea tray and carried it inside herself.

As she stood at the door, she witnessed Qu Feiming suddenly kneeling down.

The scene truly terrified her; her hand holding the tea tray froze in mid-air, and for a moment she dared not step inside, standing there dumbfounded.

Su Fan looked up and saw her dazed expression, and couldn't help but laugh, "Come in, how much longer are you going to look?"

He Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses and carefully walked in with the tea tray, but her mind was still a complete mess, and she had no idea what was going on in front of her.

Upon seeing this, Qu Feiming quickly introduced, "Grandmaster, Master, this is my granddaughter He Xiaoxiao. She works at Junior Uncle's company now."

Zhang Lingyuan looked He Xiaoxiao up and down, then smiled and nodded, saying, "She has a broad forehead and bright eyes; she's a lucky child."

He Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered from beginning to end, and now she was even more at a loss. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing her like this, Su Fan couldn't help but tease her, "How about it? I told you I'm your elder, do you believe me now?"

He Xiaoxiao said, "You're such a senior, aren't you? My maternal grandfather calls you Junior Uncle, so does that mean I have to call you...?"

She counted on her fingers about their generational hierarchy, and after a long pause, she said, "Should I call you Grandmaster Uncle?"

Su Fan smiled and said, "From now on, we'll each follow our own rules and not be bothered with formalities, but you must always maintain a respectful attitude towards your elders."

He Xiaoxiao was about to retort, but when she looked up and saw that Zhang Lingyuan and Xu Xingzhi were both present, she didn't dare to act rashly.

She could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and silently grumble to herself.

Su Fan glanced at the time and said, "Alright, it's lunchtime. Let's go eat."

He Xiaoxiao didn't go to dinner with them. After they left, she staggered out of the reception room, her mind still a mess. She looked up and saw Xu Meng.

Seeing that she looked absent-minded, Xu Meng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You look like you've lost your soul."

He Xiaoxiao, looking constipated, managed to squeeze out a question: "Tell me, if you had a young person in your life who was several generations older than you, how would you get along with them?"

Xu Meng was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "In recent years, some families have indeed had late marriages and late children, and the generations are very messed up. Some children who are only a few years old may be the grandfather of an old man in terms of generation, which is not surprising."

"What I mean is, what do you do when someone you're with every day suddenly becomes your ancestor?"

Xu Meng joked, "Then what are you hesitating for? Just reach out and ask for the red envelope!"

He Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "That's right! I'm the junior, I can ask for benefits openly and legitimately!"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Meng asked, "You're not going to say you've encountered your ancestor, are you?"

"That's not important."

He Xiaoxiao chuckled and then ran away in a flash.

Xu Meng watched her retreating figure and shook her head helplessly: "What's wrong with that girl today?"

In the afternoon, Su Fan accompanied Zhang Lingyuan on a tour of Kyoto, just to help him relax.

During the conversation, Su Fan casually asked, "Master, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"I'll wait for your arrangements."

"That's perfect. I have two older sisters in Kyoto. Let's have dinner together tonight. One of my sisters has a boyfriend. Could you help me check him out?"

"Don't meddle in other people's affairs, especially their marriages. The issues involved are more complicated than you think."

Su Fan quickly said, "We're not outsiders, so just give me your opinion. I won't really interfere."

Do you even believe what you're saying?

Su Fan smiled awkwardly and said seriously, "My older sister has been very good to me since I was little. She's getting married next year, and I really don't want her to be unhappy in the future."

Zhang Lingyuan was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Alright, I'll take a look for you later. But you need to be careful."

"Don't worry, Master, I won't say anything."

That evening, Su Fan invited Xiang Hong, Yuan Shanshan, and Yuan Shanshan's boyfriend Xiao Ran to the dinner table.

Su Fan gave an introduction to everyone.

Xiang Hong and Yuan Shanshan knew that Su Fan had a master from Longhu Mountain, so they weren't surprised.

Xiao Ran, however, seemed somewhat surprised.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, everyone spoke to each other.

During the meal, Zhang Lingyuan observed the faces of the three men.

First, he said to Xiang Hong, "Your forehead has a calm and steady color, and your brow bones are slightly high. You are a meticulous and organized person. However, you have been running around a lot lately, and your eyes are slightly dark. I'm afraid you have a lot of worries."

Xiang Hong said, "I have indeed been busy with accounts lately, checking them until midnight every day."

Su Fan hurriedly said, "Sister Hong, if you don't have enough manpower, you should hire more people quickly. You can't do it all by yourself. If you go back one day and Aunt Liu sees you like this, she will blame me."

Xiang Hong said, "It's just a busy period, it'll be fine once it's over. But now that the company is slowly getting back on track, it's time to build up some talent reserves."

"You're an expert at this, just do what you think is best."
