This is orthopedics, that won't do.

Night!

Jiangcheng, the Li Family!

The Li couple looked at their son before them, feeling deeply gratified.

The smile on Li Gang's face was even harder to conceal; the more he looked at Li Yi now, the more satisfied he became.

"Hahahaha, good, good! As expected of my son, Li Gang. It seems you've matured quite a bit during this trip to Magic City. As your father, I can finally feel at ease handing the Li family business over to you."

He hadn't expected it; this kid had only been to Magic City for a short while, yet he seemed like a completely different person. Although he hadn't been as profligate as Chen Gongdan before, he used to spend his days idling around and causing trouble everywhere.

Now it was different; his temperament was like that of a changed man. Li Gang only had this one son, so he naturally hoped he could inherit Yongan Group and lead it to even greater heights.

"Yes, Yi'er really has changed; he's become much more mature and steady. It seems he followed the right person."

Tang Jiayan echoed with a smile, then pulled Li Yi to sit beside her, her eyes filled with joy.

"Mom, you're right about that. How could your son pick the wrong person? When I first met Brother Jun, I knew he was no ordinary man. Now Heavenly Palace Group is growing stronger and stronger."

"Even Heavenly Palace Media is developing rapidly. You have no idea—now even the boss of Jiarong Entertainment has to speak very carefully in front of me."

"You probably also know that Brother Jun established Tiangong Real Estate in Singapore yesterday. Dad, why don't we strip the real estate projects out of Yongan Group?"

"Any industry Brother Jun gets involved in will definitely become the absolute dragon head in the future, just like Heavenly Palace Media is now."

"Although there aren't many results yet, I'm certain there will be explosive growth next year. And let me tell you a secret: Brother Jun has already begun laying out his plans abroad."

"In other words, the current Wang family is actually just getting started. What I need to do now is follow closely in Brother Jun's footsteps."

Li Gang fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Real estate was indeed struggling now, and Yongan Group hadn't actually invested heavily in it; they were only slightly involved.

As for why Wang Shaojun would take the initiative to enter this sunset industry, he didn't know and couldn't understand it, but one thing was certain: the other party had absolute confidence in breaking through the current predicament.

After all, with Heavenly Palace Group as a safety net, this Tiangong Real Estate was definitely not what he had imagined it to be.

But that didn't matter; even if the other party lost money in it, it would be a mere drop in the bucket for Heavenly Palace Group.

After some thought, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, it seems you really are different than before. Fine, I'll listen to you. Tomorrow, I'll strip the real estate projects from the group. However, Yi'er, I have a piece of land that the group spent a huge sum to win at auction. It would be a real pity to just sell it off like that."

"How about this: you mention it to Young Master Wang and say that our Li family is giving it to him as a gift."

Li Yi was puzzled. It was just a piece of land; how much could it be worth? Brother Jun might not even care for it.

Besides, given Brother Jun's appetite, if it was too small, he wouldn't even be able to bring himself to say it.

"Dad, I understand what you mean, but I'm not trying to discourage you—with Brother Jun's appetite, if it's too small, he probably won't want it. After all, the Wang family lives in Xitan Palace. To put it bluntly, our current home is barely larger than a toilet compared to Xitan Palace."

Li Gang naturally knew about Xitan Palace, so he was well aware that his son wasn't exaggerating.

However... thinking of this, he gave a faint smile. "What if I said this piece of land isn't in Jiangcheng, and it's not small at all?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately became curious. Not in Jiangcheng?

Although he didn't have a deep understanding of Yongan Group, he knew his father's character; Yongan Group's industries were all developed within Jiangcheng.

This was because he didn't want to overextend himself, and concentrated industries could also save a lot of trouble.

"Old man, stop keeping me in suspense. Land that's not in Jiangcheng—that doesn't sound like you. Tell me, what kind of scheme are you cooking up now?"

Looking at his son's curious expression, Li Gang said very proudly, "Hehe, it's indeed not land in Jiangcheng, but... the South of the Ranges. Well, to be precise, it's Oil City in the South of the Ranges."

"And let me tell you, this piece of land isn't small. It's about 10 square kilometers in size, and the location is right near the Wang family's ancestral home."

"Not only that, I've already sent people to handle the demolition and relocation work. I believe it can be completed by the beginning of the year."

Hearing these words, Li Yi looked at Li Gang, dumbfounded.

After thinking carefully, he suddenly realized. No wonder this old man would buy land in the South of the Ranges, and a ten-square-kilometer plot at that.

The land alone would cost a fortune, not to mention the compensation for the demolition and relocation.

"Oh, I see. You old fox! Just to please Brother Jun, you're actually willing to smash down ten billion. You've really got guts."

"Hey, wait, when did our family become so rich?"

Seeing his surprised expression, the Li couple looked at each other and smiled. Tang Jiayan spoke first, "Yi'er, you don't know. Ever since you became the CEO of Heavenly Palace Media and its sole shareholder..."

"The market value of our Yongan Group has tripled. It's a pity Yongan Group isn't listed on Hong Kong Island; otherwise, it would probably have increased tenfold by now."

"Not only that, because of Weijie, even the Yu Group has doubled in value. So you don't need to worry about money; Yongan Group's market value is now over a hundred billion."

Hearing this, Li Yi could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "What! Over a hundred billion! This... this is incredible, simply incredible. Brother Jun is terrifyingly powerful!"

Li Gang was very satisfied with this reaction. "Hahahaha, actually, it's not just blindly driving up the stock price. Because of you, many large groups have started seeking us out for cooperation, and even cooperation where they offer us the profits."

"Even in some industries we haven't touched, they've taken the initiative to come to our door."

"That's how Yongan Group was able to develop to its current scale in such a short time."

After the initial shock passed, Li Yi calmed down and sat back on the sofa. His brow furrowed and relaxed as he pondered something in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Gang didn't speak to disturb him but instead became curious.

A moment later, Li Yi murmured, "If only I had a younger sister."

These words left Li Gang and Tang Jiayan stunned. They looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

They didn't understand why their son suddenly said this. He wanted a sister?

While the two were still puzzled, Li Yi suddenly seemed to think of something and said loudly, "I've got it! Mom, Dad, is my female cousin on break yet?"

Li Gang's mind was a bit dazed; he felt he couldn't keep up with Li Yi's topic.

Why was he suddenly concerned about his cousin? He wouldn't be trying to make a move on her, would he?

"This is orthopedics; that's not allowed."
