In just over half a year, using eight million as their startup capital, they purchased an office in the capital that was nearly three hundred square meters in size to serve as their company's headquarters, acquired some computers and servers, and recruited over fifty administrative, sales, and technical personnel.

More than half of these employees, like them, were students and were part-time employees found by Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao from their respective schools.

None of this came as much of a surprise to Ge Dongxu; it had been part of their original agreement.

What did surprise Ge Dongxu was that last month, Yile Company actually started turning a profit.

While the profit was modest, just twenty thousand yuan, the fact that Yile Company had started making money just half a year after its establishment was both surprising and unexpected for Ge Dongxu.

He had been prepared to burn through money for the upcoming years, even informing Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan beforehand that the upper limit would be one hundred million yuan.

In other words, Ge Dongxu was ready to let them burn through one hundred million yuan.

And now, with an investment of only eight million, they had already started making a profit.

Although the amount was small, Ge Dongxu, already a seasoned figure in the business community, understood very well that the development of computers and the internet was rapid; as long as they could sustain themselves in the coming years, the future potential was boundless.

This was precisely why Ge Dongxu had been prepared to invest such a staggering one hundred million yuan.

This level of investment was something newly established computer companies wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But the development of Yile Computer Company had clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Yile Company's current revenue and profit mainly come from a game we developed three months ago. The game is still in the early stages of its sales life cycle; not many are playing it yet, but that's bound to change. It will gather momentum like a snowball, attracting more and more players. When that happens, our profits won't be just twenty thousand a month, but two hundred thousand or even two million," said Cheng Lehao.

"Hmm, it seems you've really put in a lot of hard work these past six months. The outcome has exceeded my expectations, but I gather that gaming isn't Yifan's ultimate goal, right?" Ge Dongxu nodded and looked at Du Yifan, who had attempted to speak several times but stopped.

"Yes, the game is just the first step to maintain our livelihood. Actually, what I really want to do is develop a search engine. The United States has already taken the lead; we need to accelerate our pace. Therefore, even if the game's revenue increases next year, it will likely be insufficient to fund this venture," Du Yifan said.

"Hmm," Ge Dongxu nodded, indicating his understanding, then added, "After the new year, the Yile Company's account will have one hundred million yuan in liquid funds."

"Boss!" Du Yifan and Cheng Lehao were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Don't be like that. Your performance over the past six months has already proven your capabilities! Therefore, I have complete faith that you can manage this one hundred million yuan effectively," Ge Dongxu said with a smile while patting their shoulders as they looked shocked.

"But, but, but Boss, that's one hundred million yuan!" Cheng Lehao, usually carefree and jolly, stuttered while speaking.

"Is one hundred million yuan that much?" Ge Dongxu chuckled and said, "Relax, in six months, you've managed to turn a computer company from loss-making to profitable; many things have happened on my end as well. One hundred million yuan doesn't mean much to me now. As long as you believe it's right, just go ahead and invest boldly. If you're unsure, give me a call. Anyway, I'm bullish on the computer industry; it's the future trend. Since that's the case, it's better to invest heavily earlier rather than later."

Dumbstruck, Cheng Lehao and Du Yifan listened as their shock gradually turned into indescribable admiration and reverence.

Having not seen his parents for a while, Ge Dongxu missed them terribly and did not linger long in the town, taking the car back to Ge Family Village around ten in the morning.

Ge Shengming and Xu Suya were both home and were delighted to see Ge Dongxu's return.

"Mom and Dad, you're getting younger and younger! Now when we go out, I bet if we said we were siblings, people would believe it." Ge Dongxu was also very happy to see his parents again and couldn't help but tease them when he noticed they were not getting any older but instead appeared increasingly youthful.

"You had to bring that up, didn't you? It's all your fault. Now the female teachers at school keep asking me about my skincare routine, and I don't even know how to answer them!" Xu Suya said with a smile, casting a playful glance at her son, her hand gently touching the bracelet on her wrist.

She was well aware that the changes she'd undergone in the past six months were related to the bracelet her son had specially made for her.

In the past, she drank medicinal wine every day, which kept her well preserved, but not to the extent of these past six months, where it seemed like she was aging in reverse.

"Haha, just tell them you've got a great son," Ge Dongxu said, laughing proudly.

The bracelet on his mother's wrist and the jade ring on his father's finger both contained a drop of his Lifebound Essence Blood, which not only protected them but could also gradually improve their constitution.

"You, this kid, went to university and now you've got skin as thick as your dad's," Xu Suya commented.

Ge Shengming felt no shame and instead acted exaggeratedly flattered by her remark. "It's rare for your mom to say you're like me. She usually says you take after her."

"Got a problem with that?" Xu Suya asked Ge Shengming.

"Not at all, do I look like I have a problem?" Ge Shengming quickly replied.

"I thought you didn't have the guts," Xu Suya said, triumphantly.

Spying his old man getting picked on, Ge Dongxu winked at his dad, Ge Shengming, who glared back at him fiercely.

Seeing the playful exchange between father and son, Xu Suya couldn't help but smirk and lightly scolded them both, "What are you standing around for? Let's go eat!"

After dinner, and having chatted with his parents for a while, Ge Dongxu went to his senior fellow disciple, Yang Yinhou.

Despite the deep winter, Yang Yinhou's dwelling was a secluded haven with lush greenery, verdant bamboo, blooming mountain flowers, and an air of eternal spring, filled with Spirit Qi.

When Ge Dongxu arrived, Yang Yinhou was busy turning over the soil in the courtyard to plant vegetables.

"I never understood the sentiment of 'picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge, gazing leisurely at the southern hills,' but now when I see you, brother, I suddenly get it," Ge Dongxu said, walking into the courtyard with a smile.

"Haha, you may understand the sentiment now, but you can't truly enjoy it," Yang Yinhou laughed, straightening his back and casually setting aside his hoe.

"Indeed, brother, you've lived life and can truly savor this sentiment. I'm still young, and if I were to retreat to the mountains now, it probably wouldn't suit my state of mind and could even hinder my cultivation," Ge Dongxu said, nodding with a smile.

"When it comes to cultivation, that's something I really can't advise you on," Yang Yinhou said with a laugh as he went inside to bring out a pot of wild mountain tea that was already brewed and poured a cup for Ge Dongxu right there in the courtyard.

"Great tea!" Ge Dongxu took a sip, the taste lingering in his mouth, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's from the wild mountain tea produced on Baiyun Mountain," Yang Yinhou said with a smile.
