"That’s me." Lu Jiawang was initially puzzled, then responded with some surprise. The leader heard this, immediately approached with a friendly demeanor, extended both hands to shake his. Lu Jiawang quickly extended his bony hand, only to have it grasped by the other person. Lu Jiawang asked with some confusion, though he had a faint guess in his heart. Because besides the young man and woman who visited him yesterday, he didn’t know such wealthy people. The man in front of him, in his thirties, though slightly overweight, was dressed appropriately, his hair immaculately combed, and he wore an expensive watch, looking every bit the part of a boss. Moreover, he was followed by a young man and woman, both in professional attire, looking sharp and capable. "My name is Tao Guangsha, I am... a friend of Shen Siyuan." "Shen Siyuan?" Lu Jiawang looked puzzled. He didn’t know such a person. Seeing his bewildered expression, Tao Guangsha thought he might have made a mistake. So he added, "He came to see you yesterday afternoon. Don’t you remember?" "Oh, you mean that young man." Lu Jiawang suddenly realized. At the same time, he thought to himself, as expected, a scam. The young man’s surname was Shen, the boss of the rice porridge shop was Cai, how could they be cousins, but he didn’t point it out, wanting to see what the other party was up to. "Yes, I am his friend. He told me about your situation, so I came to handle some procedures for you." Tao Guangsha said, pulling out a business card and handing it over. "Hongdou Children’s Charity Foundation..." Lu Jiawang, though not well-educated, could recognize some simple words. "I heard him mention it yesterday. I thought he was just talking, didn’t expect it to be true. But your foundation seems to help children, right?" "It’s just a name, we also support families like yours facing hardships," Tao Guangsha said. "Then... thank you, but... how do you help..." Lu Jiawang rubbed the business card in his hand, his dark face slightly flushed, and he spoke a bit haltingly. "We have a process for this. Xiao Zhao, register Mr. Lu’s information," Tao Guangsha beckoned to the person behind him.

Lu Jiawang once again scrutinized the business card in his hand, and felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing the words "Red Bean." "Red Bean?" he mumbled to himself. "Red Bean is my daughter, she should have come yesterday as well," Tao Guangsha said. "The young girl named Dou Dou?" Lu Jiawang said in surprise. "Yes, Dou Dou, my daughter. Very cute," Tao Guangsha said with a trace of pride. "Yes, a very pretty young girl. She said she was friends with our Zimo." Lu Jiawang said. In truth, even now, he still found it hard to believe. "I do good deeds to accumulate some merit for my daughter, hence I named it after her," Tao Guangsha explained. These words made Lu Jiawang start to believe a little. "Truly fond of the child," he remarked with some emotion. "President Tao, all the information has been gathered." Xiao Zhao put away the documents, informing Tao Guangsha. Upon hearing this, Tao Guangsha stood up and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll leave the rest to you." He then said to Lu Jiawang, "Mr. Lu, they will arrange everything for you. If you have any other requests, you can call the number on my business card." "Okay, thank you, Boss Tao," Lu Jiawang quickly said. At this time, he still didn’t know whether the assistance was real or fake, and could only take it step by step. "You’re welcome, it’s also part of my work." Tao Guangsha said politely, then instructed the two accompanying employees before leaving the hospital room. He had many things to do every day, so he couldn’t stay and oversee everything. And the two young people who came with him were specifically tasked for this, and it was under his personal instruction, so he trusted that they would handle everything properly. Just as he expected, after Tao Guangsha left, the two immediately handled the transfer procedures for Lu Jiawang, contacted a nursing home for Lu Zimo’s grandma, and also applied for a monthly living subsidy from the company... Actually, according to the formal procedure, all these things need to be verified step by step, then an application must be written to go through the process, even the fastest would take a week. But now, because of Tao Guangsha’s personal involvement, everything was simplified, and all arrangements were made on the same day. At that moment, Shen Siyuan had already obtained all the data. After analyzing the data, Shen Siyuan came to a conclusion: the merits gained through the good deeds of Tao Guangsha and Lin Libo were slightly less than those gained by his own good deeds; each deed he personally did could earn at least two to three strands of merit, sometimes even four or five. But the good deeds done through Tao Guangsha and Lin Libo each earned only one strand of merit. Nevertheless, Shen Siyuan still felt satisfied. Because, although each was less, the sheer number made up for it. With more people, there was more power, and the quantity led to a qualitative change, gaining an amount far exceeding his solo efforts. As of now, he possessed a total of one hundred forty-two strands of merit. Excluding the eighteen strands he originally had, the remaining one hundred twenty-four strands of merit all came from the two charity institutions run by Tao Guangsha and Lin Libo. The only thing that surprised Shen Siyuan was that these charitable contributions were not completed in one day, but were the work of the two institutions throughout the week. Yet, for some reason, he only received merit feedback this morning. Could it be settled weekly? Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan even laughed at himself. Then he put the question aside, as long as he gained merit, it didn’t matter how it was settled. He never felt so affluent before, as his consciousness submerged into the Sea of Consciousness, he saw countless Golden Dragons hovering within. Beneath the Sea of Consciousness, the demons stirred restlessly, seemingly eager to break through the surface and swallow the merit into their bellies. Merit, like a panacea, wasn’t only for Righteous Cultivators but also worked for Demon Cultivators, naturally attracting the Heart Demons’ prying eyes. Yet a great flag stood over the sea’s surface, suppressing all the demons, making them dare not overstep. With a thought, Shen Siyuan infused fifty strands of merit into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, golden threads entwining the purple banner, imbuing it with grandeur and sanctity. The initial tears and flaws on the banner quickly mended, and as they were repaired, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner exuded even more divine power, unfurling without wind, as if coming alive. An invisible pressure surged within Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
