Wei Sijian looked at Ding Anbai strangely, wondering why the other's face was turning red and white at different times.

"Mr. Ding?"

"Oh, I'm fine now."

Ding Anbai, being a seasoned veteran of the world, quickly adjusted his mindset. "Then I'll take this agreement with me?"

"I wasn't finished speaking."

Wei Sijian remembered the small request he had made before sinking and quickly added it.

"The agreement doesn't just have one beneficiary name, it has two. The other name was something Brother Shen insisted on adding, but I don't recognize it."

Two names?

Ding Anbai frowned, then picked up the agreement and flipped directly to the last page, where he saw two names listed in the section for additional beneficiaries.

“Sink forward.”

"Ding Yi."

Shen Qian accounted for 2%, and Ding Yi accounted for 3%.

Ding Anbai's expression instantly became incredibly complicated.

Staring blankly at the crooked and ugly handwriting on the agreement, Ding Anbai fell into a long silence.

...

After Ding Anbai left, Wei Sijian first sent Shen Qian a message saying that everything was settled, and relayed Ding Anbai's promise that the first payment would arrive before the end of the year.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Sijian turned on his bracelet and made a call.

"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, have you been transferred to the admissions team at Beiwu recently?"

"I want to recommend someone to you, no, a genius, no, an unparalleled genius!"

"It's true, it's in Jingcheng. Come quickly! Once he gets into the Pharmacy Academy, our pharmaceutical technology will improve by at least 21 percentage points. I've already calculated it precisely..."

"What did the teacher say? Senior Brother Liu, you must be joking!"

"...What right does a teacher have to judge him!"

...

The No. 7 Middle School Physical Testing Hall.

Shen Qian, carrying the gift box, pushed open the door to the administrator's office. He peeked out and was taken aback to find that Grandpa Xu, who insisted on coming to work every day regardless of the weather, was not there.

It's only Tuesday!

"Brother Zhang, where's Grandpa Xu?"

Shen Qian looked at a young man cleaning the office.

"It's you, kid!" Zhang Chuan looked up and then shook his head. "Xu Gong has taken leave and probably won't be here this week."

"Oh, could it be that he's sick?" Shen Qian asked, frowning.

"That's unlikely. Xu Gong has the cultivation of a beginner martial artist, and his vital energy protects his body, so he won't get sick easily."

Zhang Chuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard it's about his family."

"At home?" Shen Qian asked doubtfully. "Doesn't Grandpa Xu live alone?"

Speaking of this, based on my previous understanding, Mr. Xu is indeed quite lonely. His wife passed away early, and he didn't leave behind any children.

"Well, based on the snippets I overheard, I can roughly deduce that it seems to be Xu Gong's older brother's family. They asked Xu Gong for help with something, and he took leave to help them. Judging from their tone, it seems to be a bit troublesome."

"Okay, then I'll come another day."

Shen Qian nodded and placed the gift box on Grandpa Xu's table.

"Shenqian, wait a minute!"

Zhang Chuan called out to Shen Qian, ran to the drawer of his desk, rummaged around for a bit, and then handed him a work ID, saying with a smile, "Xu Gong specially kept this work ID, saying that with the college entrance exam approaching, it'll save you from having to cram at the last minute and not finding a suitable place."

Shen Qian paused for a moment, then took the work permit, feeling a warmth flowing through his heart.

He now has a bit of money, and can afford the 200 yuan simulator. He just wanted to take the opportunity to give Grandpa Xu more gifts to make up for the advantages he had taken before.

Although Grandpa Xu never mentioned it, Shen Qian always knew in his heart that even with a work permit, the martial arts simulator still required payment...

And there are no discounts.

Shen Qian didn't say anything more, greeted Zhang Chuan, and left.

After Shen Qian left, Zhang Chuan hesitated for a moment, then went to Grandpa Xu's table and opened the gift box.

This was the first time he had seen Shen Qian give gifts to XCMG, and he couldn't contain his curiosity.

The gift box was divided into two layers. The first thing you would see on the top layer was a crystal-clear ginseng that looked like jade.

Zhang Chuan lacked knowledge in this area and couldn't identify what kind of ginseng it was, but he knew from intuition that it was very valuable, because every cell in his body was radiating an urge to devour it.

Zhang Chuan suppressed his inexplicable desire and looked down. On the second layer of the gift box was a small porcelain bottle, the material of which was slightly rough.

Zhang Chuan picked up the porcelain bottle, and when he saw the label on it, his first reaction was that it was impossible!

"Gas-coating agent!"

Qi-condensing elixirs are for martial artists who possess vital energy. They allow for faster condensation of vital energy, essentially making them elixirs that directly enhance one's own abilities.

Although this is just a standard medicine among martial artists, its market price is at least 30,000...

Is this medicine genuine?

Given Shen Qian's family background, Zhang Chuan was hesitant to believe it, but Shen Qian wouldn't possibly try to fool XCMG with a fake.

After a long while, Zhang Chuan finally managed to restore the gift box to its original state with great effort. He recalled the past, when Xu Gong had indeed lent Shen Qian his work ID many times, always obliging when asked...

Even at 200 yuan per time, XCMG can't possibly lend it out 100 times!

After all, Shen Qian knew his limits; he only came a few times a month, and how much is three years?

"If it's true, XCMG will make a fortune."

Zhang Chuan felt a mix of emotions, including a touch of jealousy and regret.

It seems he had the opportunity to help the other party before, but after he refused in a joking manner, he never mentioned it again.
