Zhong Ziheng's offhand mention of "another day" had gradually turned into "who knows when," because Mr. Chen had fallen ill at Yishan Academy.
Upon receiving the news, Zhong Ziheng immediately sent Tao Fei with a gift to visit Mr. Chen.
Tao Fei had long been managing the timber and furniture business for the Zhong Family alongside Zhao Xing. Zhong Ziheng figured privately that Tao Fei handled matters well, except that he was not much for speaking. The current situation in Wuling Town was vastly different from the past; holding fast to old-fashioned ideas was a dead end, and doing business required flexibility. Therefore, he decided to groom Tao Fei, giving him more exposure to new people and things.
