Carlisle returned to the Secretary of State’s office with the capital verification report. Ryan showed up
around the same time.
After they wrapped up the paperwork, the office staff couldn’t help but sneak a few looks at Carlisle.
They were amazed by how someone so young could set up so manypanies at once and even acquire a big semiconductorpany. Some even joked if he could be Yuriel’s long–lost son or something or
other.
Carlisle and Ryan walked out of the Secretary of State’s office together.
The suppliers Carlisle had invested in also showed up.
As they spotted Ryan, all three paused in surprise.
“Could it be that Carlisle had also invested in Ryan’spany?” they couldn’t help but wonder.
With Terrence’s Wind Semiconductors reigning supreme in the Rivend market, the chances of Ryan’s Xenos Factory making aeback seemed slim.
Ryan greeted the three with a big smile, saying, “Hey guys! It’s been ages!”
Edwardughed, “Yeah, it’s been a while!”
Simon couldn’t help but ask, “Did Mr. Zahn invest in yourpany too?”
Ryan shook his head.
“Nah, he actually bought mypany.
These suppliers were all hardware providers forpanies, but they had all been struggling due to marketpetition. They shared a mutual understanding of each other’s challenges.
With a thoughtful look, Simon asked, “So, what’s your n now? You’re still young. You can’t be thinking of retiring already, right?”
Ryan chuckled.
“No way. Thanks to Mr. Zahn’s support, I’ll be taking charge as CEO at Xenos Factory,”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ryan excused himself, saying he needed to get back to thepany and start the process of getting things back on track.
Meanwhile, Carlisle registered the equity transfer details with Edward and Simon.
Their three standalonepanies transitioned Into a joint–stock limited liabilitypany
After finishing up around nogh, they were simply waiting on the final business licenses. Hungry from all the work, Carlisle took the group to grab lunch at a nearby restaurant.

She said, “Uncle Lethan, if we had just gone to the bank, we’d have the capital verification report by <b>now</b>.”

slightly embarrassed, Lethan responded, “I didn’t expect their meeting to go on for this long
Then, with a teasing smile, he asked, “Are you in such a rush because you’re hoping to meet up with Carlisle?”
Wanda blushed immediately.
She stuttered, “U–Uncle Lethan… What are you talking about?”
Truth was, she did entertain the thought. She went to school to request leave that morning and didn’t see Carlisle. She learned Carlisle had also taken the day off when she messaged Phoebe.
She wasn’t sure why Carlisle had decided to skip school, but it meant that she might at least get a chance. to hang out with him alone.
Lethan chuckled.
“You can’t even trust me, huh?”
Just as Lethan finished speaking, his phone rang. After checking it, his smile disappeared.
“It’s your dad calling,” he said.
Wanda widened her eyes and shook her head urgently.
“Don’t tell him I’m with you,” she whispered.
Lethan answered the call on speakerphone.
Shein’s voice came through.
“Don’t forget to send Wanda back to school.”
Wanda frowned, giving Lethan a war look.
She suspected Lethan had spilled the beans.
“Got it,” Lethan replied.
Lethan was always on his best behavior around his brother–inw.
After all, his brother–inw could go toe–to–toe with Yuriel, the wealthiest man in Rivend.
At that moment, Wanda blurted out, “Dad, I want to go to Aunt Shania’s!”
After a brief pause, Shein <b>said</b>, “Alright. I’ll give her a call.”
And with that, he hung up.
Wanda was furious. Her dad calling Shania himself meant Shania would be keeping an eye on her.
She pondered how she was supposed to hang out with Carlisle now.
