Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Mid-Stage of the Fifth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm

Wang Na was so provoked by Ye Qiu’s remark that she nearly fainted. When she chased after him, intending to demand an apology, she realized he had already boarded a BMW sedan.

It wasn’t until the BMW sedan carrying Ye Qiu had left that Wang Na came to her senses.

"Nana, how did it go?"

After calling Wei Guomin, Wei Guomin’s voice came through the phone asking.

"He rejected it!"

Wang Na replied.

...

Ye Qiu sat in the car while Xia Jing asked, "Dr. Ye, where do you want to go?"

"Back to Jin University," he answered.

When Xia Jing recalled Ye Qiu was a student at Jinling University, she couldn’t help but feel curious about why Ye Qiu hadn’t brought his car out. However, remembering how cold he had always seemed toward her before, Xia Jing thought it was already quite good that he got into her car this time.

When they neared the Jin University Campus, Xia Jing parked the car and said, "Can you help me check something? Recently, I’ve felt an unsettling pressure in my chest, especially during the daytime, though it fades away in the evening."

Unquestionably, Xia Jing’s greatest worry was the possibility of her breast cancer recurring.

The last time, Ye Qiu treated her and managed to make the cancer cells disappear, sparing her the need for surgery and allowing her to keep her "second life."

In fact, upon undergoing a thorough checkup at the hospital, no further issues were found.

"Alright, come over here," Ye Qiu replied.

Xia Jing properly parked the car, stepped out of the driver’s seat, and moved to the back seat to sit next to Ye Qiu. A fragrant aroma wafted over—it was a mix of her natural scent and Lancome perfume.

Ye Qiu examined her carefully, touching the affected area briefly, but didn’t say anything.

"Dr. Ye, how is it?" Xia Jing asked.

Ye Qiu wondered if Xia Jing’s busy work schedule left her oblivious to changes in her own body or if she was simply being a bit dense.

"Your bra size is too small. Changing to a larger size will resolve the issue."

With that, Ye Qiu opened the car door, ready to leave.

It was only after that moment that Xia Jing understood the source of her discomfort—her bra had become too small. No wonder it felt so uncomfortable every time she wore it, always giving her a sense of constriction.

And in the evenings, that sensation would disappear.

"Dr. Ye, thank you so much!" Xia Jing said gratefully.

Ye Qiu didn’t respond. After stepping out of the car, Xia Jing added, "Dr. Ye, you might have misunderstood me as a woman with a bad reputation."

Ye Qiu remained silent and simply headed back toward the Jinling Campus.

Upon reaching the Jinling Campus, Ye Qiu walked up to his car, got in, and drove toward the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Tonight, he had encountered two mature women in succession. One was Wei Guomin’s secretary, Wang Na—a top student with decent looks, an attractive woman overall.

However, she was scheming and overly indiscreet in her behavior.

Her intentions in seeking out Ye Qiu weren’t pure either!

The other woman was Xia Jing. Ye Qiu hadn’t expected to run into her.

As for Xia Jing’s less-than-stellar reputation, her face did indeed bear the characteristics of a widow’s curse.

Yet Ye Qiu also understood that such women were beyond what ordinary men could handle, often leading their partners to an early demise. However, for men capable of taming such women, both parties were destined for great wealth and success.

Without dwelling too much on these thoughts, Ye Qiu returned to the parking garage of the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, parked his car, went up to the second floor, showered, and then opened his computer to go online and play games.

He hadn’t logged in for days.

No sooner had he logged in did Li Shen, Zhu Zhiming, Luo Yang, and the others swarm around. However, the user with the handle "Little Lolita of Fury" appeared to still be offline.

Ye Qiu decided not to mind it.

He played with Luo Yang and the others until around 11 p.m.

When Ye Qiu logged off and shut down his computer to rest, there was a knock on his door. Ye Weidong entered and said, "I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight."

"Dad, is it about the contract signing?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I hired two lawyers this morning to personally negotiate and finalize the contract with that boss, Tang Dongbai," Ye Weidong replied.

Ye Weidong handed over the contract and a copy of the property certification for the manor. Ye Qiu reviewed the documents carefully and confirmed there were no issues.

Both parties—Ye Weidong and Tang Dongbai—had signed, with the contract stipulating that Tang Dongbai would only receive a 3% profit share and could not interfere with the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s operations.

Of course, Ye Qiu might allot him an additional 2% of shares if he agreed in the future.

After confirming the contract was in order, Ye Qiu said, "Dad, this contract is fine."

Ye Weidong was surprised, amazed at how Ye Qiu had managed to secure such low-cost land for development, which greatly elevated Ye Weidong’s opinion of his son.

"When will the restaurant renovations begin?"

"First, demolish all the buildings on the manor grounds. Relocate the trees temporarily. I’ll redesign the layout to build a restaurant approximately fifteen stories high," Ye Qiu explained.

Fifteen stories?

Well, it wasn’t excessively tall, but Ye Weidong thought such a project would take extensive time—perhaps over a year.

"I’ll notify Ye Fugui tomorrow to bring his crew over," he said.

Though deeply trusting his hometown connections, he felt just notifying Ye Fugui’s team wouldn’t be enough for a project this size.

"Dad, this is a big project, and rushing it might make it difficult for his team alone to handle," Ye Qiu replied.

"Then hire more people," added Ye Weidong.

Time was of the essence, as he now fully understood the saying: time is money.

Every moment during daytime operation at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant translated to income.

"In the next few days, I’ll finish drafting the designs, including architectural blueprints. These will likely need approval from the relevant government departments as well," Ye Qiu explained.

That too would take time.

Still, Ye Qiu was confident nothing would stop him.

"I’ll notify Ye Fugui first and have him hire a second engineering team. We’ll leave the whole project to them," said Ye Weidong.

After leaving Ye Qiu’s office, Ye Weidong departed, and Ye Qiu closed the door and returned to cultivating.

Last night, he felt a breakthrough was near.

Sitting cross-legged on his mat, Ye Qiu began circulating the ’Primordial Five Emperors Technique.’ With moonlight essence streaming into his body, channeling through his meridians, it transformed into spiritual energy, eventually accumulating in his dantian and condensing into true qi.

In his dantian, the true qi amassed further, undergoing a shift from quantity to quality. As his dantian approached its limit, the accumulated energy caused a dramatic breakthrough akin to an explosion. When Ye Qiu opened his eyes, he realized his cultivation had advanced from the Early Stage of the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining to the Middle Stage.

After breaking through, Ye Qiu could sense the difference in his state compared to before.

However, it was now just after 3 a.m., and instead of continuing to cultivate, he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
