Huang Liang continued, "Moreover, even if these people leave the Li Family, they may not be able to take away Li Family’s assets, right?"

"It doesn’t matter." Yang Yu smiled lightly, "I am not trying to recruit people from the Li Family because of their abilities, but to suppress the arrogance of the Li Family and undermine Li Chengze’s confidence. If I truly wanted to hire talents, wouldn’t the people I cultivate myself be more loyal?"

"As for the issue of spies, I have no worries at all. Almost everything I do is in the open, and they certainly won’t be involved in the truly confidential business."

"The most important point is that I am more humane and personable than Li Chengze. Even if they are really spies, over time, they’d be willing to side with me. Moreover, Li Chengze is inherently suspicious. Do you think he would still trust the spies after they’ve been with me for a while?"

Yang Yu considered all possibilities, prompting Huang Liang to give a thumbs up: "Yang Yu, no wonder you can compete with the legendary first young master of Yanjing, Li Chengze. Other rich kids wouldn’t even qualify to contend with Li Chengze."

Yang Yu took the opportunity to praise himself: "Not to boast, if everyone started from scratch, Li Chengze wouldn’t be my match."

"Haha..." Dongfang Baixiao and Huang Liang laughed heartily, finding Yang Yu increasingly intriguing and truly a kindred spirit, "Yang Yu, we also want to collaborate with you. What do you think?"

"No problem at all, I’d be delighted." Yang Yu said, "But gentlemen, I suggest you do as the Sun Family does, and send the young generation to Tianhai City. I’ll help you assess them. Whoever does best can inherit the family, which not only thwarts their harmful intentions but also promotes fair competition. What do you think?"

"That’s a great idea!" Their eyes lit up, "Under the guise of cooperating with Yang Yu, send them all to Tianhai City, haha!"

"So it’s settled then." Yang Yu smiled, "You guys report the cooperative projects and the project managers to me, and I’ll handle the rest."

"Alright." Dongfang Baixiao picked up his wine glass, "Come on, Old Huang, let’s have a drink with Yang Yu, and wish for a happy collaboration."

The three toasted together: "Happy collaboration."

Xia Yu approached and said to Yang Yu, "Yang Yu, it’s almost our turn to present gifts, hurry up."

"Okay." Yang Yu stood up and apologized to the two, "Dongfang Family Master, Mr. Huang, I’ll go over there first."

It’s a tradition to give gifts on an elder’s birthday.

Everyone took turns presenting gifts to the elder, with several people specifically assigned to record the gifts given.

When it was Yang Yu’s turn, all eyes fell on him.

Although Yang Yu and Xia Yu were not married, those who understood knew that the Yang Family was essentially the Xia Family’s grandson-in-law.

Others were giving gifts worth hundreds of thousands to millions. Yang Yu’s gift surely wouldn’t be too cheap, right?

"Grandma, the gifts I have for you are a bit much." Yang Yu smiled at Mrs. Xia Sr., "Let me first present the first gift to you!"

Yang Yu clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought over a table with paper, ink, brush, and inkstone on it.

Yang Yu spread out the paper and started writing on it casually.

Seeing Yang Yu writing a couplet, many people couldn’t help but whisper, "No way, no way? Is Yang Yu really that stingy, only gifting the old lady a pair of couplets?"

"It is a bit stingy, no wonder people say the richer someone is, the stingier they become."

"If I were him, for my own woman’s grandma’s birthday, wouldn’t I gift something worth tens of millions to billions?"

Yang Yu ignored the whispers and continued writing.

When he lifted the couplets, everyone was initially stunned.

"May your fortune be as vast as the East Sea and live as long as the immortal pine of the South Mountain." It wasn’t the content of the couplets that astounded everyone but the calligraphy.

Yang Yu’s handwriting flowed like a roaming dragon, vigorous and powerful, giving the impression that each character was alive.

His handwriting resembled that of a calligraphy master, yet not entirely the same, forming his unique style.

Even those who knew nothing about calligraphy were drawn to Yang Yu’s characters.

So this is the beauty of calligraphy, beautiful enough to be appreciated across disciplines!

"Excellent calligraphy, excellent calligraphy!" An old man emerged with glowing eyes, "Yang Yu, is this couplet for sale? I’ll offer ten million... no, twenty million!"

"Hmm? Isn’t that Yanjing’s renowned collector, Zhang Baishi? Yang Yu’s calligraphy has indeed caught his eye!"

"What renowned collector, clearly he’s a great trader! Most of the items he collects get sold at double the price."

"Twenty million? I think these characters are worth at least fifty million!"

"Sorry, this is a gift for my grandma, it’s not for sale." Yang Yu smiled, "But if Grandma is willing to sell, you can buy it from her."

Mrs. Xia Sr. chuckled, "Old Zhang, this is my grandson-in-law’s gift, of course it’s not for sale, hehe."

Zhang Baishi looked helpless, "Alright."

"The second gift." Yang Yu clapped his hands again, and a huge piece of white jade was carried up.

Seeing this big stone, the crowd began to buzz again.

"This...this...did Yang Yu get his brains smashed by this stone?"

"A big stone as a gift? Only Yang Yu could think of that!"

"Perhaps he’s up to some novelty! Let’s wait and see what happens."

Amidst murmurs, Yang Yu took out a carving knife and began sculpting on the spot.

Scrape, scrape, scrape...

Yang Yu’s spiritual power was formidable, and his hands were strong. Every cut was extremely precise, and he sculpted quickly.

In less than a minute, the elderly lady’s benevolent face appeared on the white jade.

Lifelike, like a replica.

"Oh my, it’s indeed a magical brush!"

"What magical brush, it’s a magical knife!"

Everyone finally understood that Yang Yu intended to gift a large stone sculpture, and their expressions changed.

This life-sized replica sculpture, and carved on the spot, probably only Yang Yu in all of Xia Country could manage this, right?

In less than ten minutes, the statue of the elderly lady was completed.

Yang Yu placed the statue in front of Mrs. Xia Sr. and smiled lightly, "Grandma, do you like it?"

Mrs. Xia Sr., just shocked, finally regained her composure when Yang Yu asked, her laughter was full of joy: "Like it, like it!"

Zhang Baishi jumped out again, eyes reddened, "Old sister, I’ll offer two billion, two billion! Could you sell it to me?"

"This is even more impossible to sell." Mrs. Xia Sr. laughed, "If you bought my statue, others might think you have a secret crush on old sister me!"

The crowd burst into laughter: "Haha..."

Zhang Baishi’s face turned red from the laughter, and he turned to Yang Yu, "Yang Yu, how about I commission a stone sculpture from you? As long as it meets the standard of this one, you can set the price."
