After Ye Zhiwei left, Ji Shuli made a special phone call to Ye Qingcheng to confirm.

"Uncle, a friend of mine wants to work at a research institute. I heard that your friend, Dean Li, is looking to hire someone—"

Ye Qingcheng said directly, "That's just a formality. The spot has already been given to Xiao Jiang. Your Grandpa Li is very stubborn and has a bad temper. He does things as he pleases, but he cherishes talent very much. If your friend really has something to offer, I can help introduce him. If he doesn't have any talent, then don't go and humiliate yourself."

"Oh, okay, I'll talk to him about it."

Ji Shuli, having subtly uncovered what he wanted to know, couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, so my little cousin is really talking about Jiang Jianian. She even came all the way over here to say A and B. Do these two admire each other or like each other? Is she coming over here to feed him dog food?"

Hmph, wanting to be in a relationship at such a young age.

After confirming the matter, Ji Shuli inquired about other details and basically learned that Jiang Jianian was interested in her younger cousin. She then immediately went upstairs to find Jiang Jianian.

Jiang Jianian opened the door, seemingly somewhat surprised that Ji Shuli would come to see him, but his emotions were not too turbulent, and he let Ji Shuli in directly.

Ji Shuli smiled and said, "I heard you got into the research institute, so I came to congratulate you."

Jiang Jianian raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "You're too kind."

"However, I didn't realize, Jianian, that you also have the spirit of dedicating yourself to science? The path of scientific research is not easy, but you are indeed capable, so it may not be a difficult task for you." Ji Shuli said with a smile, being quite polite to Jiang Jianian.

Jiang Jianian had no intention of beating around the bush with Ji Shuli and said bluntly, "I really have no interest in the research institute."

"I know you're interested in my little cousin," Ji Shuli sneered. "This is a classic case of 'no matter how much you plan, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family!' If Uncle knew that you weren't just staying for a while, but were planning to steal his little darling, he'd come after you."

"Ye Zhiwei will get married sooner or later."

Ji Shuli snorted, "Yes, my little cousin will get married sooner or later, but she has so many choices. Does she have to be you? Don't be fooled by my uncle's seemingly indifferent attitude towards my little cousin. He's busy with work and doesn't really understand young girls or communicate well. But how could he not care about her? He personally oversees and understands everything about her, afraid that his precious daughter might go down the wrong path. Finally, she's getting excellent grades and is about to go to university, but you, this wolf in sheep's clothing, have your eyes on her."

Jiang Jianian clenched his fist and said calmly, "Yes, I did have feelings for her, and I did indeed have my eye on her."

There was no attempt to hide anything; it was almost a straightforward honesty.

This directness surprised Ji Shuli. Without any attempt to hide it, he openly and honestly told Ji Shuli that he wanted Ye Zhiwei very much.

Ji Shuli coughed. "You're quite sensible, knowing that your uncle and Li Lizhang have a close relationship, and you're already thinking about paving the way for the future. Let me tell you, with your qualifications, you're far from being able to marry my little cousin! Do you think you can meet my uncle's standards?"

“Why not?” Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ji Shuli, saying each word clearly, “There is no height that cannot be reached. Even if she is in the sky, I will climb up the ladder of knives step by step and walk up to her.”

Ji Shuli was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised. After a while, he said in a slightly conciliatory tone, "Hmph, you should win over your little cousin first. Let me tell you in advance, your uncle values ​​your little cousin's grades very much. Don't disturb her during the college entrance examination. As for what happens after the college entrance examination, whether you can win her over or not is your business. I can't control my quirky little cousin. Don't think that winning her over will be an easy thing!"
