146 Sleepless nights Part 1

After securing the property deeds, Su Lin dropped back home for lunch. Much to Luther's dismay, Su Bai and Runyan shamelessly tagged along.

"Where is my surprise??" Luther excitedly dashed to the door and started his interrogation.

"Heh. What surprise, brother?" Su Bai raised his eyebrows in curiosity.

Su Lin ruffled the sleepy head little white, who was lazily yawning on the couch and slumped next to it.

"He he. Single dogs like you won't understand." Luther smirked and crashed on the couch next to Su Lin.

Runyan couldn't help but chuckle. She was already used to these antics. She smiled and helped herself to some lunch.

Her sister was finally happy like she deserved to be! A man might not define a woman, but a loving life partner sure can bring a special glimmer in one's life.

After tapping his feet on the ground awkwardly for a few minutes, Su Bai gave up on intruding the love birds and their special little world.

He as well followed Runyan's lead and loaded his plate with a bunch of dishes served on the table. 

The dogfood serving husband and wife pair continued snuggling for a few minutes when Su Lin finally revealed her special surprise."Our new headquarters is right next to your restaurant."

Luther's eyes immediately widened in happiness. He pulled his precious wifey closer to his body and tightened his hug around her.

His deep magnetic voice caressed her soft ears, as he planted soft kisses on her nape. "mmm. Aren't you testing my patience a bit too much, my dear?"

Su Lin chuckled and jumped up from the ticklish feeling left in the aftermath of those deadly kisses. She then dragged Luther to join the other two for lunch.

Since he was busy with hiring the housekeeping staff, this time around Luther had prepared only a few simple dishes for lunch, including seared tuna and vegetable soup.

The fish was cooked to perfection and had an enticing aroma. Since all of them were cultivators with a voracious hunger, the delicious meal disappeared within minutes.

They then leisurely drove towards the purchased properties for a group meeting. Monkey and the others as well arrived there to discuss their future development plans.

After Monkey's small tantrum about the lack of packed lunches, everyone finally settled down.

The 10 story building was designated to be the new headquarters and everyone squatted down on the brand new unfurnished floor.

"Bro, I am getting goosebumps. We are finally going legitimate!!" Panda patted on Koala's shoulder, almost shouting out aloud.

Being the nerdy guy, who was typically a very calm and overly cautious person, everyone was surprised to see Panda so excited.

They had been hiding in the shadows for far too long. Koala and Panda were incredible computer experts and especially hated doing this.

Su Lin chuckled and put on a very professional attitude like those seen in the CEO tv dramas. "Ahem. Indeed, everyone, welcome to our first board meeting."

"As the first order of business, I am going to assign a few roles. Squirrel, cough.. cough.. Su Bai will be our new research department head."

Squirrel had a good understanding of the amazing modern gene-editing method. And he was also learning about the ancient art of alchemy from Su Lin.

Using both of these cutting-edge techniques, theoretically, they can modify herbs to harvest photosynthetic energy into spiritual energy.

Their biggest issue was still lack of abundant spiritual energy for cultivation and hence Su Lin made this as the top priority.

"Cheers." Everyone around the room immediately congratulated Su Bai, making him blush. He hurriedly nodded in response, while already planning out his work mentally.

"You should take the top 4 four floors for now and feel free to employ as many people as you need." Su Lin again emphasized the importance of this work.

She then revealed a gentle smile as she looked at Runyan, "And welcome our new production department head."

With the spotlight on her suddenly, Runyan restlessly fidgeted in her place. "Err... Umm... Sis... I don't ..."

Su Lin, however, didn't show any response and gazed intently at Runyan.

With all her invisible pleas silenced, Runyan had no other option, but to humbly accept the role. "I will do my best sis."

Though she was nervous about this new tremendous responsibility, she still wanted to do her best to help her sister out. So she gritted her teeth and steeled her heart. She was going to face this new opportunity head-on.

The other roles as well were quickly assigned with Zi Yan as the Marketing department head, Panda as the Public relations head, and Koala as the Finance department head. 

Other than their cosmetic manufacturing unit, Su Lin also wanted to enter the entertainment business.

Thus, Rabbit, who was once the team strategy and mission assignment specialist became the recruitment head, while Panther who was the master assassin of the group became the resource managing department head.

And Monkey who was the only person with legal experience in the group became the legal division head for all departments.

With this everybody was assigned some preliminary roles, and the group continued discussing the potential issues and the workload for a few more minutes before dispersing to get a head start on their jobs.

Only Monkey, Su Lin, and Luther were left behind. They still had the task of employing other people and setting up Luther's restaurant next door.

The trio set to work as Monkey constantly whined about not getting to work with the celebrities as he had wanted.

"Bro, your wife is hell-bent on keeping me single. Do your best to get her in good mood tonight and exchange my role with Rabbit, or just any role in the entertainment branch would do."

Sadly though, he was only ignored, as Luther started sweet-talking to Su Lin about her favorite dishes, and the new menu for the restaurant.
