Jiang Yiqing almost laughed. This guy's supposed to be a businessman? He smirked, "You don't need to know how to make them. The underworld must have plenty of programmers, right? Leave the technical stuff to the professionals—er, professionals like ghosts."

He was already thinking ahead—hurry up and make those phones, then he could somehow install an underworld-specific system. That way, he wouldn't have to keep asking the old man to come into his dreams.

Jiang Yiqing's thoughts were already running a mile a minute.

The designer ghost, after thinking about it, agreed, "You're right. As a boss, you don't need to know everything yourself. You just need to know how to use your workers... er, I mean, your ghosts."

Having spent so many years in the underworld, the designer ghost had picked up a lot from the new generation of ghosts.

Looking at Jiang Yiqing with admiration and gratitude, the designer ghost said, "Thank you so much. When I succeed, you'll be my patron saint."

Saying that, the ghost nearly reached out to shake Jiang Yiqing's hand.

Jiang Yiqing twitched his mouth. Really? This much emotion for just some words?

He rubbed his nose and, with a shameless smile, said, "No need to thank me. When you succeed, just let me know."

The designer ghost, surprised by Jiang Yiqing's care (?), nodded earnestly and said, "I will! I definitely will!"

Jiang Yiqing, feeling a little uncomfortable under his overly sentimental gaze, silently left, rubbing his arm as goosebumps appeared. This Qing Dynasty ghost was way too cheesy!

Just as Jiang Yiqing was about to relax, his phone dinged with a message from an unknown number.

The message was roughly from someone claiming to be the wife of Jiang Yiqing's biological father, wanting to meet him.

Jiang Yiqing scoffed, raising a finger as if to delete the message, but then hesitated. Although he wasn't particularly interested in meeting the person, there were some things he couldn't just ignore. People with a blood connection, especially parents, were tied to karmic debts. If he didn't handle this, he'd end up in a passive position.

"Ugh, what a hassle." Jiang Yiqing sighed. Why couldn't he be like the Monkey King and pop out of a stone? If not that, he could at least come from a trash heap like some other stories. Either way, it would be less troublesome than his current situation. Jiang Yiqing hated trouble more than anything.

On the other side, Mei Qian, after sending the message, elegantly sat in the garden sipping her afternoon tea, spotting her son approaching from a distance.

Mei Qian was slightly surprised. "Yuwen, why the sudden change in style?"

Zhou Yuwen, who usually wore simple white shirts to give off a clean and harmless vibe, was today wearing a rare black Tang suit.

Zhou Yuwen's eyes flickered but he didn't offer an explanation. He smiled and asked Mei Qian, "Mom, do you think this looks good on me?"

Mei Qian, being a doting mother, would think her son looked great in anything, even if he wore rags. Naturally, she began to compliment him endlessly.

Zhou Yuwen was pleased with the praise and grinned.

The other day, a relative of Wen Chuan had said he resembled someone around Wen Xiuyan. The comment was made without much thought, but Zhou Yuwen took it to heart. His style of dressing gradually began shifting to resemble that person's, hoping that by doing so, he might get closer to Wen Xiuyan. After all, if Wen Xiuyan liked someone like that, being a stand-in wasn't such a bad deal. As long as it brought him closer to Wen Xiuyan.

As for Wen Chuan, after confirming that he had been completely abandoned by Wen Xiuyan, Zhou Yuwen wasted no time and deleted all contact with him. He didn't care how Wen Chuan reacted now; he was only looking forward to his next meeting with Wen Xiuyan.

Seeing that Mei Qian still wanted to ask, Zhou Yuwen quickly changed the subject. "Mom, why didn't you go shopping today?"

Mei Qian, usually bored when her husband and son weren't around, would often go out shopping with other ladies in her free time.

"It's because of your dad's son. I need to take care of him as soon as possible," Mei Qian lowered her voice, looking around to make sure no one was listening. "I need to make him completely give up any idea of fighting for the family fortune."

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Mei Qian opened it, smiling smugly. "So eager. Just don't think about coming back to the Zhou family."

"Luckily, we acted first. Otherwise, if that brat gets in touch with your dad, who knows what tricks he'll use to worm his way back home?" Mei Qian, feeling a bit superior, was already mocking the situation based on the reply she'd received.

Zhou Yuwen smiled because, from his mother's description, the person was nothing but a fool—hardly a threat.

Instead of focusing on someone who wasn't worth his time, Zhou Yuwen figured it was better to think about how to catch Wen Xiuyan's attention. If he succeeded, what would the Zhou family matter? Even his father would have to treat him with respect.

With that thought, Zhou Yuwen imagined himself living out the dream he had crafted, grinning as he hummed a tune while walking away.

On the other side, Jiang Yiqing yawned and immediately blamed his sneeze on the family talking behind his back.

"Well, I hope they get bird poop on their heads the next time they go out," Jiang Yiqing muttered with a bit of petty bitterness, rubbing his nose and feeling much better instantly.

Then, a message from Wen Xiuyan came through, asking if Jiang Yiqing had time tomorrow.

Jiang Yiqing sighed, replying, "I wish I had time, but I have something to do tomorrow."

He couldn't help but follow up with, "Is it something important?"

Like going to check some feng shui or exorcising evil spirits. Of course, making money was important, and Jiang Yiqing wouldn't mind pushing their meeting to another day for that. He thought about it and rubbed his hands together with a pleased smile.

However, Wen Xiuyan's response left him a bit disappointed, "No, I found a nice restaurant and wanted to invite you to try it."

Jiang Yiqing deflated slightly. "Ah... eating, huh? Well, guess we'll have to do it another time."

"You don't seem too excited about meeting tomorrow," Wen Xiuyan noted, his sensitivity to emotions sharp.

Jiang Yiqing was confused as to where he'd shown his displeasure. "It's just that I have to meet someone I don't like. Hard to be happy about that."
