"With the college entrance exam coming up next year, what's your plan moving forward? Are you going to put computer science on hold or continue with it?" Ge Dongxu asked as he released his grip and walked alongside Du Yifan.

"I'm drawn to the virtual data and worlds, and the development of computers is really fast nowadays. I don't want my computer studies to lag behind because of the college entrance exam," Du Yifan said after some thought.

"I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, but since you believe what you're doing is right, stick with it. However, learning is endless; eventually, you'll need to go to university to access higher levels of knowledge. Plus, much of that knowledge requires mental maturity and different life experiences to fully understand, so university life is indispensable for you. You definitely can't slack off in your studies," Ge Dongxu nodded and said.

The advice Ge Dongxu gave Du Yifan was also a reminder to himself. Otherwise, why would he bother going to university with his current abilities and wealth?

"Boss, no wonder you're so awesome, tricking one school sister after another. Turns out you have such a profound understanding of life at such a young age!" Upon hearing this, Du Yifan looked at Ge Dongxu with admiring eyes.

"What the heck! When have I ever tricked any school sisters!" Ge Dongxu said, clearly annoyed, and gave Du Yifan's head a good thump.

"Ouch, if you keep hitting me on the head like that, the computer science field will lose a genius," Du Yifan exclaimed dramatically.

"Genius my foot, let's see if you can even get into a university first," Ge Dongxu said with an eye roll and annoyance.

"I'm sure I can get into a university. It's just uncertain which one I'll get into, as you know my English and Chinese are rather weak," Du Yifan deflated like a punctured ball and said with a wry smile.

"That's not good," Ge Dongxu shook his head and after thinking for a moment, said, "How about this? Once your dad is better, come and stay with me. I'll teach you a meditation technique which should help improve your study efficiency."

"Meditation? Boss, don't tell me you're also a martial arts master?" Du Yifan's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Shall we have a go and see?" Ge Dongxu said with a smile, watching Du Yifan.

"No way, with my skinny arms and legs, you could take me down easily even if you're not a martial arts master. Let's call Cheng Le Hao over next time. If you can take down both of us, then you'll truly be a martial arts master," Du Yifan quickly sidestepped to avoid confrontation and said.

"So in your eyes, taking down you and Cheng Le Hao qualifies someone as a martial arts master? That title isn't worth much then," Ge Dongxu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the remark.

"Heh heh, all right, all right, let's get serious, boss. Does that meditation technique really improve my study efficiency?" Du Yifan asked. As a former top student, Du Yifan naturally had his dream university in mind, but he didn't want to neglect his computer studies. With such a divided focus, he could kiss that university goodbye.

"At the very least, it can help you calm down when you get frustrated with learning Chinese and English," Ge Dongxu said.

"That's good enough for me. I'm fine with the sciences. Those are my biggest problems right now," Du Yifan said, delighted at the response.

After the excitement, Du Yifan couldn't help asking with some curiosity, "Why do you need me to move in with you just to teach me meditation? I usually sleep very late, and Cheng Le Hao's place isn't that big; I'm sure I'd disturb you."

"Who said I still live with Cheng Le Hao? I moved out last year to live alone. And you think I want you to stay with me? Since you're studying computer science and aiming for a good university, often staying up late, you're certainly going to run out of energy. Staying with me should help keep your energy levels up," Ge Dongxu explained.

"Damn it, you moved and you didn't even tell me, you fatso!" Du Yifan cursed at Cheng Le Hao, then his face lit up with excitement and he said, "Could it be that the boss is planning to make some tonic for me to take every night?"

As for whether Ge Dongxu was a martial arts master, Du Yifan had just asked casually; deep down he didn't really believe that Ge Dongxu was a martial arts master. However, he had witnessed Ge Dongxu's medical skills firsthand, which was the reason for his question.

"If you don't want to wake up with a nosebleed every morning, then no problem, I'll brew a tonic for you every night," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Then I'd rather not, but if you're not making tonics for me, why should I move in with you?" Du Yifan hastily waved his hands and asked with a puzzled look.

"You'll understand once you move in," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

The place he was living in now was not only a Feng Shui treasure land in the Jiang Family village, but he had also specially arranged the Feng Shui when building the house. The spiritual energy inside was denser than other places, which naturally brought great benefits to anyone living there.

"Oh!" Du Yifan, seeing that Ge Dongxu wouldn't say more, didn't dare to ask further. Just then, they arrived at the pharmacy.

Ge Dongxu gave the prescription to the pharmacy owner, and after getting the medicine, he returned to Du Yifan's house. As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard laughter from upstairs. Hearing the laughter, Du Yifan's eyes couldn't help but redden, and he stealthily wiped the corner of his eyes.

...

The summer vacation passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the final year of high school, twelfth grade.

During the two months of the summer vacation, the sales of Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory hit new highs again and again, with the sales volume in August reaching thirty-six million, double that of June.

After continuous investment, Donglin Yue Clothing Company finally started to turn a profit during the summer vacation. Although it was still far from comparing with Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory, the earnings were quite impressive, with the profits in August reaching 1.2 million. And this figure was set to continue growing rapidly with the increase in franchise stores.

The company was finally making a profit, and with increasing funds, Lin Kun and Yue Ting proposed the concept of "virtual management" for the hotel, meaning to open a chain of budget franchise hotels.

At this time, chain budget franchise hotels were an emerging industry in Huaxia Country, and Ge Dongxu thought this idea was feasible. Now that Donglin Yue Company had started making profits and the initial investment for a chain budget franchise hotel wasn't too high, they could easily use the profits from Donglin Yue Clothing to acquire one or two small hotels in the capital of Jiangnan Province and some other Earth Level cities as company-owned hotels. They could gradually build up the brand and then expand further to attract franchise stores.

Of course, Ge Dongxu agreed to the project, and an important factor was that Lin Kun's family was in the hotel business, giving him experience in this field.

After discussing, the three of them decided to name the hotel chain Kun Ting. 'Kun' was taken from Lin Kun's name and implied the concept of heaven and earth (Qiankun), while 'Ting' was a homophone of Yue Ting's name, with the meaning of 'courtyard'.

...

Whether it was the herbal tea factory or opening a chain of hotels, Ge Dongxu didn't need to worry about the details; he just needed to make decisions on the general direction.

What he had to concern himself with now was that two fellows had suddenly moved into his house. One was naturally Du Yifan, who had already agreed to this, and the other, needless to say, was definitely Cheng Le Hao.
