Over the next few days, Ge Dongxu stayed at home.
Since it was summer vacation, it was the peak tourist season for Baiyun Mountain.
At noon, there were many visitors coming in to eat, and the shop was too busy to manage. Ge Dongxu, the youngest billionaire and youngest deputy ministerial level advisor in Huaxia Country, naturally had to help out in his father’s shop, running in and out.
Serving tea and water, delivering dishes, and settling accounts, he did every task.

Fortunately, no one knew Ge Dongxu’s true identity, otherwise a billionaire, a deputy ministerial level advisor moonlighting as a waiter would make this lunch too high-level, who would dare to eat at this restaurant!
However, the shop would usually calm down around three o’clock in the afternoon, and at this time Ge Dongxu would take some time to carve Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade.
After several days of cultivation, Ge Dongxu had found that as his cultivation power and formation advanced, even if the material used was glass type jadeite, the consumption was quite significant, so he took advantage of the recent free time to carve more Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formations.
In addition to carving the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation, Ge Dongxu also specially went to the mountain to pick some herbs and brewed several jars of medicinal wine, preparing to visit his teachers in a couple of days to give them as gifts.
Although the university admission notice had not yet arrived, the result was already known, and visiting the teachers had been scheduled by the parents.
However, Ge Dongxu thought that giving red envelopes as a sign of gratitude to the teachers might not be accepted, so he planned to give some cigarettes, Maotai liquor, and his own brewed medicinal wine instead.
What was truly valuable was the medicinal wine brewed by Ge Dongxu himself, but the teachers definitely wouldn’t know that. His parents were worried that the teachers would find their gifts modest, so they felt it was better to buy some high-quality cigarettes and liquor.
Teachers work hard educating students through the year, and while giving expensive cigarettes and liquor during festivals isn’t the best tradition, getting into university was a milestone that definitely warranted a special acknowledgment, so Ge Dongxu made a point of buying Zhonghua cigarettes and Maotai liquor.
Five days after he returned, Ge Dongxu felt that the medicinal wine was brewed to the right strength, so he waited for his father to finish with the shop, and then his father drove the small truck, carrying their family and the carefully prepared gifts, to Changxi County.
Then they visited each teacher’s home.
For a student like Ge Dongxu, the teachers were naturally fond of him, and they were all happy to see his family come up to express their gratitude. In front of Ge Dongxu, they praised him endlessly, delighting Ge Shengming and his wife so much that they couldn’t stop smiling, feeling an immense sense of pride.
As for the gifts brought by Ge Dongxu, aside from a few teachers who accepted them without hesitation, most only kept the jar of medicinal wine Ge Dongxu had paired, finding the other cigarettes and liquor too lavish, and it took quite some persuasion before they were willing to accept them.
Since Ge Dongxu had another villa in the county town, the family did not return to Ge Family Village that night, choosing instead to stay at the villa.
After expressing gratitude to the teachers, what remained was waiting for the admission notice to arrive and then preparing a feast.
After all, hosting a feast meant inviting friends and family as well as villagers, which definitely required waiting for the official notice.
Ge Dongxu made a total of three jade bracelets, two in blue-green and one in violet. The violet glass type jadeite bracelet was polished for Yuan Li, as he remembered her birthday was the next day, so the following morning, Ge Dongxu did not return to Ge Family Village with his parents but stayed in Changxi County instead.
Knowing that Ge Dongxu was now a big boss and had many things to handle, Ge Shengming and his wife didn’t think much of it. When they saw him saying he had matters to attend to in the county town, they thought he was going to deal with affairs at the Qinghe Herbal Tea factory in Wangzhou Mountain, not realizing that their son was planning to celebrate the birthday of a cherished female friend.
After Ge Shengming and his wife left, Ge Dongxu did not rush to see Yuan Li but went to order a birthday cake from a cake shop, ran an errand to Yaxu Packaging Printing Factory, and visited Qinghe Herbal Tea Factory in Wangzhou Mountain.
No matter what, he was a major shareholder of the company, and he occasionally had to pay attention to the company’s affairs.
After inspecting two companies in the afternoon, Ge Dongxu personally went to the vegetable market to buy some groceries and then picked up a birthday cake from the bakery.
Thinking that the time was about right, he got the dishes cooked and set up, and then he went to the Changxi County branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank.
When he arrived at the Changxi County Industrial and Commercial Bank branch, Ge Dongxu didn’t go inside; he just called Yuan Li’s office from the outside.
"This is the Changxi County Industrial and Commercial Bank, may I ask..." Since Ge Dongxu was calling from a landline, Yuan Li couldn’t see who it was. She picked up the phone and asked politely.
"Sister Li, haven’t you left work yet?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile, interrupting her.
"Ah! Dongxu! How did you think to call me?" Yuan Li immediately recognized Ge Dongxu’s voice and exclaimed with surprise.
The reunion in Beijing did further their relationship, but it also made Yuan Li even more hesitant towards Ge Dongxu.

Be it in terms of age, status, or wealth, the disparity between them was immense, especially since she was a divorced woman. So unless Ge Dongxu called her, Yuan Li wouldn’t dare to take the initiative to call him, no matter how strongly she yearned for the young man who made her heart flutter.
And because of Liu Jiayao, Ge Dongxu had a knot in his heart. So, if Yuan Li didn’t call him, he often intentionally or unintentionally avoided calling her or meeting her. Although she would occasionally cross his mind, and he thought about calling or meeting her, he quickly restrained himself.
It wasn’t until a recent trip to the capital and meeting Jiang Lili, when they idly roamed Shichahai at night, that he understood that cultivation directly pointed to one’s true heart. If one’s heart was such, then so be it, and only then did he untangle his heart knot.
So when making jewelry this time, he specifically made a bracelet for her.
Therefore, since they returned from Beijing, besides the time Ge Dongxu helped Lin Jinnuo with loan guarantees, and they met once, they hadn’t seen each other for over half a year, and the only phone call was during the New Year.
How could Yuan Li not be surprised by Ge Dongxu’s sudden call?
"Sister Li, there’s something very wrong with your question. Isn’t it normal for me to call you?" Ge Dongxu could hear Yuan Li’s excitement and couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Considering the relationship they had, where they had hugged and kissed, it was truly wrong not to have met or contacted each other in over half a year.
"Don’t give me that, you know that’s not what I mean." Yuan Li retorted a bit resentfully, but she quickly gathered her emotions and said, "Tell me, is there something you need, calling me like this?"
In her life, having encountered such a man and even developing a relationship that went beyond friendship was already more than she could ask for. What more could she hope for?
Did she really want to be with him? The thought alone made Yuan Li feel that it was absurd and laughable.
On what grounds? What right or conditions did she have?
"Get off work and come out, and I’ll tell you," Ge Dongxu said.
