The sky turned dark as the sun was setting in the west. The grass fields were tinted with a golden shade, waving along with the evening breeze.

On the cemented path towards the Son residence, two figures were seen walking towards the house. It was a peaceful scene.

Louis held Jennie's hand while dragging the strap of his bag with his other hand. He looked at Jennie with his big eyes as he asked, "Mother, is Father back?"

"Mmm, he's back. He's now cooking at home. Did you listen to the teacher in class today?" Jennie put her arm around Louis's shoulder and asked.

"Oh, Mother, can you tell the teacher to let me enter Grade 2? I really don't want to stay in kindergarten anymore. I know everything the teacher teaches. Plus, the children there are too childish and not fun to play with," Louis begged Jennie.

"Too childish? You're still young. The process of learning needs to be built with a strong foundation."

"But, Mother, I've learned the knowledge already. Isn't it a waste of time?"

"We'll talk about it again after I discuss with your father," Jennie replied after giving it some serious thought.

She had checked Louis's homework before, and she noticed that his thought process was quick and pretty smart in general. Quoting Yong Gun, he really might be a prodigy!

Yong Gun started training him to take public transport home from a week ago. He sent some people to follow him in the beginning, then let him come home alone after everything went smoothly.

"Louisi, recite both your father's and my phone numbers to me again."

"Oh, okay..."

Louis grabbed Jennie's sleeve and swiftly recited their numbers.

Jennie nodded with a smile. "Good. If you're ever lost, just call these numbers and you'll find us. Alright?"

"Mother, you've repeated this so many times."

"Are you saying that I'm nagging you? I'm just worried about you, alright?"

"Oh..."

When the two of them returned to the Son residence, Yong Gun was making funny faces at Manoban Byulg who was inside the cradle. Louis quickly put his bag aside and rushed over when he saw his little brother.

"Great-grandfather, I want to play with Brother too!"

"You're back? Be careful. Don't make him cry. What did your teacher teach you today?"

"Teacher told us some stories and taught us to memorize the multiplication table..."

Jennie smiled as she looked at the two of them. She then walked into the kitchen.

Lisa was cooking in the kitchen. While he was busy preparing the spices, he saw Jennie come in, so he started washing the vegetables. "Is Louisi back?"

"Yep, he just told me that he wants to skip to Grade 2. He also said the other children at the kindergarten are too childish. Do children nowadays grow up that fast?" Jennie put on a helpless smile as she looked at him.

"Louisi is very smart. Grandpa is impressed by his swift adaptability as well. His grades are great, so I think it's worth considering. Getting prior knowledge could benefit him on the path of advancing academically. Hmm, we should start developing his interests as well."

"I think the children of the current generation are pretty exhausting. Mr. Manoban, can we not fill up Louisi and Byulg's time like other families? I hope they can have a happy childhood." Jennie frowned as she stopped her hand movements and looked at him.

"Some people are destined with a heavy mission the moment they were born, and because they are burdened with a lot of responsibilities, I hope they can learn all the skills they can. Otherwise, they might not know what to do when they land in a tough situation. They should still learn what's necessary. That determines if they can lead a comfortable life. I want them to experience what's truly 'work hard, play hard."

Jennie had nothing to refute. "Sure, that makes sense."

...

After dinner, Yong Gun spoke as Lisa and Jennie were leaving, "I'm glad that you're alright. The two of you should finish up the work at hand as soon as possible, and then let Jennie be my Head Secretary at Fuhua for a month. I'll have Uncle Lan assist you as well. Then, you'll be taking over Fuhua officially after that. Lis, you've learned a lot about property development. If there are any issues in the future, the two of you shall talk it out."

Jennie nodded. "Mmm, I understand, Grandpa. I'll be done with the handover work in a few days, so I'll head over right away. By the way, are you really not going to fight for Project No. 2?"

"One mustn't be too greedy. I'm sure you understand after this experience. Focus working on Project No. 1 since it'll take at least several years, and it's a large-scale project with enormous business opportunities. I'm thinking about adopting Lis's suggestion and giving Fuhua a slight change. We'll be involving ourselves in other industries as well. Fuhua's line of work is too specialized. Alright, we'll talk about it more when you come over. Kim Group suffered a huge loss this time, but they totally deserved it."

Yong Gun ran his fingers through his white hair. "I've heard about the conflict between you guys. Lis, some things are bound to happen. We can't avoid it, so why not accept it since we can't change anything? It's always better to be doing something than just feeling guilty about it, understand?" Yong Gun said.

Lisa's eyes went quiet. He then nodded. "I understand, Grandpa. Thank you for what you've done."

Yong Gun took a deep breath. "Alright, it's getting late now. You guys should go home."

Lisa and Jennie traded glances with each other before saying goodbye to Yong Gun.
