"Can I accompany him?" Yulin asked.

"Of course you can," Roger nodded.

Then, Roger added a time slot, "From 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. is his time for receiving guests. Recently, there haven't been any important guests invited to the Dragon's Den, so he has more free time during this period."

Tang Mo liked to meet guests in the morning and also preferred to discuss business then — because it was efficient and he didn't need to have dinner with people he didn't like.

Of course, if he encountered someone opportunistic, someone he could have a good chat with, Tang Mo could also flexibly invite them to stay for dinner — doing so allowed him to take initiative, which suited his style.

Yulin noted this once again, "I understand."

She had an excellent memory, almost never forgetting anything she saw — if not for such a talent, she couldn't have become the queen of the school that people adored yet feared.

"Oh, by the way, remember to call John and ask him to pay attention to the opening ceremony of the Dragon City cinema," Roger was getting on in years, often speaking whatever came to mind, lacking coherence.

In reality, he was more like an ordinary person at work — keeping all his schedule in a notebook and occasionally taking it out for a look.

Now, without flipping through his own notebook, he was somewhat disorganized when delegating tasks.

Yulin didn't mind and continued to nod, "Sure."

More than colleagues or superiors and subordinates, she and Roger were like father and daughter, or relatives — Yulin was someone Roger had watched grow up. To others, she was the unapproachable queen, but to Roger, she was just a well-behaved little girl.

Roger was always a kind elder, whether in front of Tang Mo or Yulin.

He had money, he had power, but his castle was empty and cold; he could stack the most valuable art in the world here, but it still lacked something, something he most longed for... a feeling.

Roger's words silenced Tang Mo, and the unaware Roger, not far behind him, continued to instruct Yulin, "In terms of work, you actually can't help him much. However, you can make this place more like a home, and that would be the biggest... help you could offer him."

"Thank you, Grandpa Roger. I'll do my best," Yulin assured Roger firmly.

Roger smiled and reached out to gently tousle her hair, "You're a smart girl! Always have been! I believe you can do it!"

Yulin stuck out her tongue like a child, unconcerned with Roger messing up her hair.

"I say, let's have dinner together tonight! Like a family," Tang Mo leaned against the door frame, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and held it in his hand before suddenly speaking.

His sudden voice startled both of them. Roger stood up instinctively, while Yulin's smile grew even wider upon seeing Tang Mo.

"Beef stew for tonight, fried eggplant, baked snails, and those lobsters too... Have Cui Xi stay for dinner as well, and Yue'er, Wes, call Mathews and Parker too," Tang Mo planned to invite all the old acquaintances from Dragon Island.

"Then we definitely need to open a bottle of Brunas aged four years..." the wine-loving Roger laughed heartily.

Yulin put on a plaintive expression, "Ah? Can't we not invite Yue'er?"

"We're family!" Tang Mo decided to firmly cement his harem plan, stepped forward, and hooked Yulin by her waist dominantly, shamelessly saying.

Seeing Yulin give up on the issue, a triumphant Tang Mo's laughter grew even louder — ah, his backyard was finally not ablaze...
