Under Luo Jingxuan's guidance, Li Xi devised several plans to force Mian Lao Si to compromise. From using his power to pressure others without spending any money, to spending a fortune to buy out Mian Lao Si's company, Li Xi's plan perfectly executed the art of bullying.
However, in the end, she still chose the method of favor plus money, entrustment plus apprenticeship or investment plus apprenticeship. It is not impossible to mix in some coercion in the process.
After figuring it out, Li Xi immediately took out her cell phone to contact Mian Lao Si.
Red Pink Dandy [Mian Lao Si, if you don't reply, don't force me to take real action! ]
Perhaps he was annoyed by this little ancestor, or perhaps he remembered that Li Xi was now married to Luo Jingxuan and that confronting her head-on would only lead to losses. Mian Lao Si finally replied to the message, his tone quite polite.
Mian Lao Si [Good morning, Miss Li. It's a pleasure to serve you.]
After receiving the reply from Mian Lao Si, Li Xi didn't waste any words and directly told him his plan.
[I'm looking for you or want to become your disciple. Don't be so quick to refuse. Take a look at my conditions first.]
Although we've only known each other for a short time, after spending the past few days together, I genuinely want to be your friend. So, I won't beat around the bush. I'm determined to become your apprentice. I've considered your reluctance, and it's likely due to concerns about wasting time, industry confidentiality, and professional ethics. I'd like to offer you two options for becoming your apprentice. See if you're willing.
First, I entrust you to help me investigate the case, and you set the price.
Second, I invest in your company, become your boss, and order you to lead me.
Personally, I prefer the first option. This way, you make money, get things done, and gain a disciple. And I learn something, too. A win-win.
If you want to choose the second option, it’s not impossible, but it’s a little bit troublesome.
Of course, you can choose neither. But then, there's no telling what I'll do. Since you're investigating me now, you should know that the person I'm marrying is Luo Jingxuan. Even though we're not deeply emotional, it's still possible to use his influence to stir things up.
You said so, right? 】

After sending this long string of messages, Li Xi threw her phone aside and went to stroll around the garden.
It's not that I'm not curious about Mian Lao Si's response, but after all, this isn't a question like "what to eat for lunch" that's easy to choose. I need to give Mian Lao Si some time to think it over. Even now, there's no clear answer.
While strolling around the garden, Li Xi recalled some gossip from the original story that could be exposed.
The Zhao family's newly crowned actor was the first to spark a surge in the popularity of "rich family gossip," and the Li family could easily be targeted in the second. Stories of mistresses ascending to power are always a popular topic. The story of a mistress ruining the original wife's children is also a hot topic.
Then, there are the things mentioned in the original text. Shen Zhou's sister Shen Yan raped someone and ended up jumping off a building. The incest between the real young master of the Lu family and the fake daughter. The quarrel between the brothers of the Luo family. The illegitimate children of the Hua family fell in love and got married without knowing each other. The Wang family was destroyed by Shen Zhou Tianliang because of his crazy pursuit of Lu Wantang.
The secrets of the Tang family, Jing family, Zhou family, Ma family, Su family, and other wealthy families that are not mentioned in the original text can all be exchanged for traffic.
Of course, anecdotes such as who in a wealthy family spends a fortune on who; who hides their identity and pretends to be an ordinary person to marry into a wealthy family; who drugs someone and has sex with them in order to marry into a wealthy family can also be told.
After all, who doesn't love gossip?
Imagining the business that would pour in after her self-media account became popular, Li Xi couldn't help but giggle.
She was laughing heartily, but when she looked up, she was met with Luo Jingxuan's cold face. Her smile froze immediately.
“…”
After a long pause, Li Xi regained her composure and asked, "Why are you at home?"
Luo Jingxuan raised an eyebrow. This guy's expression changed very quickly. Moreover, was there something wrong with his brain? Why did he always smile so foolishly? However, he didn't mind it very much. "Get the things."
After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair and left.
Li Xi looked at the garden full of flowers, then at the deserted path, then looked up at the endless blue sky, and her heart was shaken.
"Why does he always catch me smiling like a fool? Is it possible that he and I are incompatible?"
The flowers were still as gorgeous as before, the wind was still as gentle as before, and the sky was still the same azure blue. However, Li Xi's mood was no longer as excited as before.
She didn't want to wander around the garden anymore. To avoid running into Luo Jingxuan again, Li Xi grabbed her phone and scurried to her room. She closed the door, intending to temporarily confine herself to the garden and check for a response from Mian Lao Si.
After a while, news came from Mian Lao Si.
The first one, as Li Xi thought, was to think about it. The following one was the answer to Li Xi.
I've thought about it, and both of your options are feasible. However, I have a better suggestion. As you can imagine, I want to make money, and the company is short of cash. But even more than money, what the company lacks is momentum. After all these years, my detective agency has a good reputation, but most of my regular customers are ordinary people.
Their commissions are generally simple, such as finding people, finding cats, catching mistresses, etc. After completing such a commission, after deducting the costs of manpower, material resources and handling, the money that actually goes into our pockets is not much.
Let me be frank. What we lack is an opportunity to enter the upper class. I've found a lot about your situation. Although your family background isn't very useful, your status as a daughter-in-law of the Luo family is still quite useful. If you can inject capital into our detective agency under Mr. Luo's name and let us leverage Mr. Luo's influence, I'd be happy to accept you as my master, not just me.
