Chapter 922: Chapter 922 - 923: The Fourth Young Master Returns

In the midst of busyness and various disturbances, autumn passed in the blink of an eye, reaching its end, and early winter quietly arrived. People changed into sweaters and coats, and another year was about to pass.

As the saying goes, some families are happy while others are sad. Hualing’s family experienced a major upheaval and still hasn’t returned. As for Cheng Su’s family, it’s all calm and peaceful.

Qi Taiguo returned from training, appearing unchanged, but the perceptive could instantly see that he had changed. His authority had shifted; he started to slowly take charge of matters he previously couldn’t, and he seemed more stable, commanding respect without anger.

Regarding Cheng Su herself, she was the busiest. She attended university; whenever there were classes, she attended them. After classes, she returned home. Sometimes, when there were no classes, she had to inspect and take charge of various businesses.

Joy Soon Loy Jam’s business is now steadily rising, and the management team is expanding. Cheng Su is busy, and with Ning Ge often absent, more authority, including management and business negotiations, was given to Xiao Pinshan.

As for the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant, construction is already underway. Since it needs clearing and rebuilding, Cheng Su calculated that to completely finish everything, including good ventilation for decoration, it could only reopen after the New Year.

The business that required the least managerial worry was the fast food shop at the train station. The store is small, and the staff is adequate, with trusted people managing it, so Cheng Su focused her attention on the jam and restaurant.

Ning Ge disappeared for over a month before reappearing in front of Cheng Su.

"Did you go mining or something? How did you get so tanned?" Cheng Su looked at Ning Ge with disdain.

He looked tanned, with slightly messy hair and a small beard, carrying a big bag on his back, almost like a vagabond.

"Don’t mention it. I traveled around, couldn’t eat well or sleep well. Can you make some dumplings for me? I haven’t had your dumplings for a long time. I’m waiting for Big Brother Qi to come back and talk." Ning Ge said.

Cheng Su felt sorry for him and, hearing this request, told him to wait while she grabbed her bag and money to go buy the ingredients.

Ning Ge sprawled on the sofa in Cheng Su’s home, rubbing his temples.

This time, he was ordered to investigate some matters related to things from a few years ago, but halfway through, the clues disappeared, leaving him very frustrated.

However, it wasn’t entirely fruitless. Unexpectedly, this mission revealed some shady practices in the Loo Family’s business that were not quite righteous.

Specifically, the Loo Family’s business profits should exceed those of the current business. He was certain there were things that couldn’t be brought to light, and as for what those were, further investigation was needed.

He also wondered if Jiang Dafang had received any advice and whether his relationship with that fellow Jiang Conghe had progressed any further.

If he were the stubborn type who didn’t know how to adapt, collaboration wouldn’t be interesting, because sometimes a stubborn person might not succeed, whereas someone flexible has a higher chance of success.

Ning Ge suddenly flipped up, looking at the door.

Qi Taiguo also looked at him, retracted all his energy.

"Why is it you?" He closed the door. When he opened it just now, he sensed the presence of outsiders, so his aura expanded, not expecting it to be Ning Ge.

Ning Ge raised an eyebrow, sizing up Qi Taiguo and said, "The results of this training are quite impressive!"

A sharp sword becomes sharper, but its edge no longer reveals itself, instead lying hidden in its sheath, ready to burst forth when needed. It seems many stories have unfolded during this training session.
