Next day.

Lin Xuan Qi woke up and saw that a set of new clothes had been placed on his bed.

He changed into them and when he got out of his room, he was surprised to see Xue Cong approaching him.

"Master Lin, breakfast is ready," she said and bowed to him.

Lin Xuan Qi raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you out of your bed so soon? Have you fully recovered?"

Xue Cong nodded and said, "Yes, Master Lin. We've all recovered thanks to the Restoration Pill."

It made him become more in awe of the effectiveness of the Restoration Pill.

No wonder the Sima Family is as rich and powerful as it is.

If he had a chance, he should maybe try and purchase some from Sima Ye.

"Then, do as much as you can. I need all of you to be around to carry out my orders," he said and followed Xue Cong to the dining hall.

What he said was true.

He had many things to accomplish ahead and having the mansion running smoothly would allow him to have peace of mind while he executed his plans.

When he got to the dining hall, it was already filled with dishes on the table.

Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Zhi Yong were also there waiting for him.

"Come have a seat." Lee He Song had a teacup in his hand, and he invited Lin Xuan Qi to join him.

Sitting beside Lee He Song on the left, Liu Shi Shi stole a glance at him with her cheeks puffed with air before she turned her gaze to the dishes in front of her.

He didn't say anything and sat on the right of Lee He Song.

What was he going to do?

Tell the whole world about what happened?

He glanced over at Yue Jie and she just lowered her head.

If only someone was like Yue Jie, he thought to himself.

"What are you waiting for? Sit down and eat." Lin Xuan Qi waved at Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Zhi Yong.

They had done more than enough to deserve a good meal.

Mei Jiao and Old Shao came into the dining hall with Ah Di.

Both had been clearing up the mess in the main hall with Old Shao repairing the broken chairs and furniture.

He marveled at the number of people he had in the clan and took a mental image of what it was now.

Things were going to change soon.

...

After he finished his breakfast, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the tea.

His thoughts went about thinking of what needs to be done.

And when he was done, he put down the teacup.

"Master Lee, I would need you to come with me for the day." He glanced over at Lee He Song.

Lee He Song nodded at him.

Then, he glanced over at Liu Shi Shi and said, "Shi Shi, same thing, I need you to be vigilant in the mansion."

Liu Shi Shi twitched her mouth, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yes, Master Lin."

Hearing her reply, he was glad that she got over it.

He glanced over at Mei Jiao and Old Shao next.

"Do you have friends and family that you can trust? I need them to come work for me in the factory."

Mei Jiao and Old Shao didn't know what this factory thing was, but they had faith in Lin Xuan Qi.

He had treated them well, and they didn't expect him to give anyone else a bad deal.

Old Shao thought for a moment and said, "I got some buddies who were as skilled as me in woodworking, not sure if they could be of help?"

It was what he needed.

Someone who can produce the molds for the soap and create whatever he required to get the process of production up and running.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded and said, "How many are there?"

"There are about five of them."

"Can you help and check if they are interested? I will offer them the same thing. A tael of silver for a year." He offered the same deal as what Old Shao got.

And on top of that he said, "You can help me manage them and I will increase your wage to double what it is now if you can get them to come over."

Old Shao's eyes opened wide at the good news. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Master Lin." He gave him a deep bow and said, "I will ask them to see if they are interested."

He was on the verge of imminent death just a month ago and so much had changed in a short span of time.

Now he was gainfully employed and had the prospect of becoming better.

And it was due to the young man in front of him.

Old Shao stole a glance at Xue Cong and gave a silent sigh to himself.

If only she was with him...

Lin Xuan Qi turned his focus next to finding labor for the factories.

His best option was to get slaves from the slave brokerage.

This would have to be funded from the gift that Sima Long had given him previously.

The taels of gold would be put to good use for that.

But to control the laborers, he would need to have his own security forces built up in the mansion.

He glanced over at Lee He Song and Liu Shi.

"Do you have anyone to recommend joining and be part of the security team?"

Lee He Song frowned as he tried to think of someone worthy.

But he came up blank.

Most that he knew treasured their freedom to explore the land, coming and going as they wished.

No amount of money would let them give it up for that.

Liu Shi Shi thought for a moment, and she had an idea.

"I know someone from the Yi Mei Sect and the Storm Fist Thunder Sect."

"Yi Mei Sect and the Storm Fist Thunder Sect?" Lin Xuan Qi asked as he had never heard of them before.
