Xia Feng’s mood improved significantly as he looked at Xia Lin before him.
Although it had only been a month since they last saw each other, for Xia Feng, it felt like many, many years.
He had returned this time to say goodbye.
Because once he went back, he would have to face what he needed to face – a reckoning with the Heavenly Dao.
This was an extremely dangerous undertaking.
Xia Feng wasn’t very confident, after all, the Heavenly Dao’s strength was beyond question.
If the Heavenly Dao hadn’t been powerful, he wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to be reincarnated.
“Brother, you’re finally back. It’s almost New Year,” Xia Lin said, walking over to Xia Feng and linking her arms through his, her face beaming with joy.
“I came back precisely because it’s almost New Year,” Xia Feng replied, reaching out to gently pat Xia Lin’s head with a doting expression.
“Hehe… Can we spend New Year together this year?” Xia Lin asked.
“Yes, that’s a great idea. Let’s have a lively New Year together this year, with everyone celebrating,” Xia Feng said, then turned his gaze to Old Wang and the others. “Old Wang, what do you all think? Celebrating New Year together.”
Old Wang quickly responded, “Young Master Xia, your suggestion is excellent. We’ve all been together for so long, it’s only right that we celebrate New Year together.”
Old Wang and the others were, of course, more than willing. They took everything Xia Feng said seriously.
“Alright, then this New Year’s Eve, we’ll all celebrate together and have a truly festive time,” Xia Feng said with a smile, nodding.
Xia Feng hadn’t been back in a long time, and now that he was, he definitely wanted to catch up with everyone.
Xia Feng spent the afternoon at the company and learned about its recent developments.
According to Xia Lin, Fenglin Entertainment’s influence was now present in virtually all of Xia Country’s films.
For the movies scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fenglin Entertainment had invested in 70% of them.
Furthermore, whether it was Yida Cinema, Qiye Media, or Ababa Pictures, they all gave Fenglin Entertainment preferential treatment, none daring to offend the company.
Fenglin Entertainment was undoubtedly the top player in Xia Country’s film industry.
Coupled with its recent successful films, Fenglin Entertainment had expanded internationally. Last year’s international film, “Cultivator,” had swept all the awards globally, with its trophies piling up so high they were difficult to hold.
After spending the afternoon at the company, Xia Feng specifically sought out Jack Ma on his way back in the evening. “Teacher Ma, it’s been a while since I’ve tasted your cooking. Tonight, I’d like to order three dishes.”
Jack Ma was overwhelmed by the request. He had always been eager to fulfill Xia Feng’s wishes.
For Jack Ma, this was a tremendous honor.
“Young Master Xia, please, it is my honor that you still remember my cooking,” Jack Ma said, his expression tinged with genuine excitement.
To be able to cook to such a degree, who else in the world could achieve this?
For Jack Ma, this was an incredibly glorious moment, one worthy of being recorded in history.
This was also Jack Ma’s proudest moment, and it allowed him to hold his head high in front of Penguin Ma, leaving the latter speechless.
“Then I’ll trouble you tonight. I’d like to have pickled garlic with scrambled eggs, Mapo Tofu, and sliced fish in hot chili oil. You can decide on the other dishes, as I enjoy everything you cook,” Xia Feng listed the three dishes he wanted.
“Certainly, I’ll head to the market to buy the ingredients right away. I guarantee you’ll be delighted with the meal tonight,” Jack Ma promised enthusiastically.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Xia Feng said politely.

(PS: Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true.)
