Ye Tian felt a little apologetic, but he knew that if he refused again, Lin Jinsheng would likely be displeased. He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I've always said I'd help you get a big project, and today we'll finalize it."
Lin Ziyi smiled and asked, "Brother Tian, which project?"
Ye Tian replied, "Jinyu Real Estate. I've discussed this with Old Lu before, and his project is likely about to start."
Lin Jinsheng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Xiao Tian, what's the total value of this project?"
Ye Tian said, "The Jinyu Real Estate project is very large, with an engineering cost of around one billion yuan. You can discuss the specifics yourselves. Because of my connection, Lu Chuanxin will definitely give you the full advance payment, and the remaining balance will be settled in full after the project is completed."
Lin Jinsheng laughed heartily, "Good! Your connections are truly solid. I like projects with such conditions the most."
Zhu Yuting asked, "Jinsheng, a billion-yuan project, that's not the same as a hundred million. Can you handle it?"
Lin Jinsheng reassured her, "Don't worry. With such excellent conditions, I can subcontract it out to some reliable construction teams."
Lin Ziyi chimed in, "Dad, if you subcontract it, will the quality be guaranteed?"
Lin Jinsheng explained, "They are all my old friends. We worked together in the past, and their quality is no worse than mine. We'll just have to give up some profit. But even with subcontracting, I can earn at least two hundred million from this deal."
Ye Tian added, "If you need more funds, Uncle can get them from me."
Lin Jinsheng smiled, "Alright, if it's not enough, I'll ask you again."
At this moment, Ye Tian took out a small bottle and poured out two pills. He smiled and said, "Uncle, Auntie, this is a Blood Vitality Pill. After taking it, it can prolong life. You should try its effects."
Lin Jinsheng's eyes widened, "This is a pill? Do such things really exist in the world!"
Ziyi laughed, "Why don't you give me one?"
Ye Tian replied, "Of course you have one too." As he spoke, he handed the bottle directly to her, which contained two pills.
Zhu Yuting found the scent pleasant and swallowed it in one gulp. After taking the medicine, she didn't feel anything special, so she didn't think much of it.
As he had other matters to attend to, Ye Tian couldn't stay overnight. However, Tang Ziyi pulled him into her boudoir and they spent a long time together until midnight before he left.
Upon returning home, Ye Tian continued to cultivate the first meridian diagram and also mastered the five movements of the fourth form of the Body Refining chapter. He then practiced all twenty movements simultaneously.
In the early morning, he refined and absorbed more pill threads, thus reaping immense rewards that night.
The next morning, when Zhu Yuting woke up, she felt a tickling sensation on her face. She went to the washroom to wash her face. As she washed, she felt something on her hands. Looking in the mirror, she gasped.
It turned out that there was a thin layer of dead skin on her hands, all of which had peeled off from her face. Where the dead skin was rubbed off, smooth and delicate skin was revealed!
Lin Jinsheng was startled and rushed over to check, asking, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yuting was stunned. She quickly rubbed her face a few more times, removing all the dead skin. This revealed a face that looked ten years younger. She felt as if she had returned to her appearance from over a decade ago, when she was forty. Moreover, her skin was now exceptionally good, radiant, fair, smooth, and hydrated!
"Jinsheng, I think I've become younger. Is this the effect of Xiao Tian's pill?"
Lin Jinsheng hurried over to examine her. He touched Zhu Yuting's face and found it very smooth, unable to resist pinching it.
Zhu Yuting playfully chided, "You're so annoying!"
Lin Jinsheng then rubbed his own face and, sure enough, a layer of dead skin came off. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Wife, do you think our son-in-law is an immortal? He gave me pills yesterday, and I thought he was just trying to amuse us. Now I realize he can actually refine pills! Wife, from now on, your rich friends will always be a step below you, because you will always be younger and more beautiful than them!"
Zhu Yuting was also extremely pleased, saying, "You say Xiao Tian is so amazing, he can even refine pills. Who did he learn from?"
Lin Jinsheng washed his face and said sternly, "Wife, you must not tell anyone about this!"
