God-tier Farm Chapter 3888 The embryonic form of a sect (1)

The Paradise Building stood tall within the Three Mountains.

Outside, the twilight was beginning to settle, signaling the end of the workday for most.

Within her expansive and opulent CEO suite, Feng Jing remained focused on a thick report, showing no intention of heading home.

Two years had passed since she officially took the reins of Paradise Corporation. No longer the simple white-collar returnee from overseas, she had cultivated an immense level of prestige within the firm. Despite her delicate appearance, she now radiated a natural authority that commanded respect without the need for anger.

After reviewing the document for a while, Feng Jing finally set it aside. She sighed deeply while massaging her weary temples.

Her exhaustion didn't stem from professional anxiety. In truth, Paradise Corporation’s journey over the last two years had been remarkably smooth. The pharmaceutical division, in particular, had expanded at a breakneck pace, flooding the company with liquid assets. Operating with zero debt, the corporation’s cash reserves continued to swell. Under Feng Jing’s strategic guidance, they had begun diversifying into various sectors, and the silhouette of a massive corporate conglomerate was already becoming clear.

As the helmsman of this financial titan, Feng Jing felt a profound sense of pride.

Nevertheless, a certain figure would frequently drift into her thoughts, haunting her dreams.

Even during her busiest moments, that man would suddenly invade her mind, throwing her emotions into disarray.

Technically, Xia Ruofei had almost entirely stepped back from managing Paradise Corporation. Yet, the personal legacy he left behind remained etched into the souls of every original member.

Zheng Yongshou had proven to be an exceptional intermediary, perhaps even more efficient than Xia Ruofei himself. While Xia Ruofei was often distracted by various affairs and could be forgetful, Zheng Yongshou handled every task with precision. This included secretive operations unknown to the rest of the staff, such as the integration of the Spirit Heart Flower petal solution at Taoyuan Farm.

Still, Feng Jing felt a void that couldn't be filled.

She resided in the Jiangbin Villa district. On the rare evenings she finished work early, she would stroll through the neighborhood, inevitably finding herself near Xia Ruofei’s residence. Without fail, the villa remained shrouded in darkness, silent and empty.

On one occasion, she spotted movement inside, but her surge of joy was short-lived; it was merely the housekeeper performing routine maintenance.

Feng Jing had no clue what had occupied Xia Ruofei’s time for the past two years. She sometimes wondered if he had even stayed in the Three Mountains area.

He had simply dumped this massive enterprise on them and vanished... Every time that thought crossed her mind, Feng Jing couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.

As the long day drew to a close, a wave of fatigue washed over her. She leaned back to rest, but Xia Ruofei’s image surfaced once more.

Where could he be? What was he doing? How could he be so indifferent to Paradise Corporation? Was there truly something more vital than overseeing a company of this scale?

Suddenly, the phone on her desk broke the silence.

Rubbing her eyes, Feng Jing composed herself and answered in a professional, steady tone, "Hello..."

“Sister Jing!” Xia Ruofei’s voice came through with a chuckle. “It’s been a long time!”

Feng Jing froze, completely stunned. She questioned if she was hallucinating, as she had played out this exact scenario in her dreams many times before.

Hearing no response, Xia Ruofei assumed the connection was poor. “Hello? Can you hear me, Sister Jing?”

Shaking off her daze, she managed to whisper, “I’m here...”

She fought to keep her voice level, yet a slight tremor betrayed her composure.

“Sister Jing, is everything okay?” Xia Ruofei asked warmly.

“I’m fine! Just buried in work here at the office, it’s been a productive day,” Feng Jing replied, forcing a casual tone. She then added with feigned nonchalance, “And where have you been wandering? What prompted a call today?”
