Samsara Online Chapter 52
Advertisement
When Xie Feng approaches the glass door, it automatically slides to both sides.
Inside the lobby one could see large white tiles, a large round pillar in the center, several floors in the corners, 3 large luxury sofas, a small glass table and a desk.
When Xie Feng entered the building the security guard immediately focused his gaze on him, but he did nothing more than that after seeing who the person was correctly. The security guard was about to bow, but Xie Feng stopped him and tapped him on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work, Tang Zeng".
The security guard, Tang Zeng, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, young master Xie".
Xie Feng nodded and approached the reception desk and before he could say anything, the female staff member bowed and greeted him with a smile: "Young master Xie, it has been only 20 days since you last visited the company. You really are a dedicated person".
"I do not do as much as all of you here, Chen Yu. I see that you still have the same beautiful and contagious smile as always". Xie Feng chuckled and responded politely.
The employee, Chen Yu covered her mouth with one hand and smiled as her eyes formed a crescent: "And I see that the words of the young master are still as sweet as ever".
The reason why any staff member dares to chat casually with Xie Feng is because anyone who has been working at Magnificent Sky Corporation for a long time knows that, as long as they do their job correctly, Xie Feng always treats everyone in a correct and even friendly manner, unlike many workplaces.
Xie Feng shook his head with a smile and went straight to the point: "Chen Yu, Grandpa Lu is in his office?".
Chen Yu nodded quickly and replied: "General director Lu already informed me about the arrival of the young master".
Xie Feng thanked the receptionist and went further into the building. A few more meters inside the building there were 3 elevators. One was for staff use, one was for clients and one was for the company's senior management.
The entrance to the senior management elevator is the only one that leads to the general director's office. After pressing the button on the top floor, Xie Feng calmly waited until the elevator finally reached the upper floor.
When the doors opened again, Xie Feng was inside an office.

The office had a bookcase full of books, another bookcase full of documents, a desk, two chairs and a glass table in the center of the room with two sofas on either side.
"Young master, I am glad to know that you are as healthy as ever". A simple looking and friendly elderly man greets Xie Feng with a gentle smile on his face.
Xie Feng bowed slightly and replied, "Grandpa Lu, I am glad to see you are well".
Grandpa Lu laughed out loud and replied: "Haha...these old bones still have many years to live, don't worry young master".
Xie Feng simply smiled and didn't comment. He sat down in the main seat behind the desk and asked: "Grandpa Lu, sorry to bother you suddenly but could you give me the documents of the month?".
Grandpa Lu naturally nodded and handed a folder of documents to Xie Feng. After that, the old man prepared a cup of coffee and left it on the desk.
Xie Feng nodded and expressed his thanks. After taking a sip of coffee, he opened the folder and began to read the information.
The office fell silent and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of leaves passing slowly at a steady pace from time to time.
After 3 full hours of non-stop reading, Xie Feng closed the folder and stood up. He went to the large window behind the building and looked at the view of the city of Shanghai.
"This month's profits were up again. This time a profit of 38% more compared to the previous month". Xie Feng commented.
Grandfather Lu had been silent to allow Xie Feng to read the information quietly. When he saw him finish and begin to speak, Grandfather Lu said enthusiastically, "This is naturally due to the idea and guidance of you, young master. Your idea of limiting sales per person and increasing the price slowly caused more people to rush to buy the available boxes of Nectar of Heaven for fear of being late".
Xie Feng nodded silently. People with lots of money and power don't care about the money spent, they care about their face.
When money reaches a certain number, it becomes just that, a number. Really powerful people compete with each other silently for who has the most expensive car, the most luxurious house, the most beautiful woman in their arms, the rolex, the most fashionable clothes and of course, the most luxurious and delicious food and drink.

Nectar of Heaven wine is the most exquisite wine in the market, so that type of people naturally must have the best in their hands. Otherwise they would feel that their face is worth less than others.
Therefore, after considering and studying the market for a while, Xie Feng came to the conclusion that the best way to make quick money was to limit the product outlet and increase its price.
That way, Magnificent Sky Corporation will be able to reduce production expenses and still make more money.
It may seem simple, but in reality, Xie Feng had to study the market trend, the sales graphics of the previous years compared to the last month and even human psychology in order to ensure an idea that would generate profits safely and without losses.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the last two years thanks to Xie Feng, the Xie family's money has triplicated.
"Grandpa Lu, there is nothing you want to tell me". Xie Feng suddenly said, standing with his back to Grandpa Lu and still looking out the window, apparently appreciating the view.
Grandpa Lu was surprised to hear Xie Feng's question so he asked in a clearly confused tone of voice: "Something I want to tell you? I apologize for my slowness but could you explain to me what the young master is referring to?".
Xie Feng turned around and looked intently at the face of the gentle old man in front of him for a few seconds.
Just as Grandpa Lu was beginning to worry that he had done his job wrong, Xie Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just rambling. I am sorry to ask such a question suddenly. My work here is done, so I will go home".
After those words, Xie Feng took the coat he had left on the back of the desk chair and placed it on his shoulders.
Without saying anything else, Xie Feng began walking to the elevator, clearly intending to leave since his work here ended during this month and he will not return until the next one.
When the elevator doors opened, Grandpa Lu asked: "Could it be... could it be that the young master doubts me because of what happened to Mister and Madam?".
Xie Feng entered the elevator and pressed the first floor button. Before the doors closed completely he said in a casual tone of voice: "Grandpa Lu, if you have a clear conscience you shouldn't worry even if I doubt you, right? We will meet again in a month".
As if time had been timed previously, the elevator doors closed completely after Xie Feng finished speaking, leaving Grandpa Lu lost in his thoughts.
After a few minutes, the old man sighed slightly and whispered aloud: "The young master really is a terrifying person. A true genius in every sense of the word. I am very glad... really very glad. The young lady should be safe as long as she is with him".
***
After leaving the building, Xie Feng went to the parking lot.
He took the keys out of his pocket and pressed the button, causing the Land Rover lights to flash several times, indicating that the burglar alarm was properly removed.
Before sitting in the driver's seat, Xie Feng turned slightly and looked up at the top of the building for a few seconds.
With a slight sigh, he entered the car and turned it on. It was now 5 p.m. so he must hurry to pick up Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue.
The way back to the Golden Emperor villa complex is approximately 30-40 minutes driving, so he will arrive exactly at the time arranged with Xie Yao.
After driving for approximately 35 minutes, Xie Feng was about to open the patio door of his villa when the gate opened automatically.
Precisely speaking, it was opened from the inside.
What welcomed Xie Feng was the beautiful smile of two beauties who could make any man go crazy for them.
Xie Yao sat in the passenger seat next to Xie Feng and said with a happy smile, "Big brother Xie Feng, I missed you. When I heard the familiar sound of the car approaching, I couldn't help but leave the house".
Before Xie Feng could say anything, Gu Qianxue said from the back seat of the car: "I missed you too, Xie Feng! I missed you so much that right now I want to hug you and not let you go. But... but I can't do that because you were inside the car".
Hearing the slightly bitter tone at the end of her words, Xie Feng was stunned for a moment before bursting out laughing.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
