Red Leaf Villa, pavilion.
Gao Yan, the Li family father and daughter, the Sun family father and daughter, Qin Zhihui and others were sitting together chatting.
They had already eaten lunch; Red Leaf Villa offers a complimentary buffet.
Gao Yan picked up his tea and took a sip, then asked Li Jianfei, "Has Mr. Li found a suitable candidate?"
Li Jianfei came to participate in the martial arts exchange conference this time in order to recruit a few internal strength martial artists to take charge of the Li family, but so far there has been no progress.
"Hey, it's not so easy to recruit martial artists with internal strength. I've tried contacting a few, but none of them are willing to talk to me!"
Li Jianfei chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He's a big shot in Shanghai, but only to ordinary people.
But in the eyes of martial artists with internal strength, he was no ordinary person either.
"Mr. Li is looking to hire bodyguards?"
At this moment, Qin Zhihui suddenly spoke up and asked.
"Not a bodyguard, but a security consultant!"
Li Jianfei quickly explained that he would never dare to use a martial artist with internal strength as a bodyguard.
Actually, he is relatively safe. No one will openly attack him. His only worry is that someone might try to harm him in a dirty trick.
"What are your requirements, Mr. Li?"
Qin Zhihui asked again.
"What can I ask for? As long as you're a martial artist with internal energy!"
Li Jianfei was overjoyed and lowered his posture. He already knew that Qin Zhihui was the head of a martial arts family, and from his words, it seemed that he intended to arrange for someone to serve as his security consultant.
"How about this, I, Qin, will provide Mr. Li with two bodyguards with internal strength. The salary doesn't need to be too high, just a million a year will do!" Qin Zhihui didn't care about the salary.
The price of jade has continued to rise this year, which has greatly increased the Qin family's profits. The reason why he was willing to provide Li Jianfei with a bodyguard was only because of Gao Yan's influence.
After all, Li Jianfei's daughter is Gao Yan's apprentice.
“If Mr. Li doesn’t mind having too many bodyguards, my Sun family can provide one!” At this moment, Sun Yuanlin also chimed in, wanting to curry favor with Gao Yan as well.
It should be noted that the Qin family's overall strength has skyrocketed because they curried favor with Gao Yan, and even Qin Zhihui, who had been stuck at the peak of Dark Force for many years, has advanced to Transformation Force.
He already knew that the Qin family's strength had increased dramatically because of a special medicinal wine they had purchased from Gao Yan.
"No problem, no problem!"
Li Jianfei was so happy he couldn't stop smiling: "However, a million-dollar annual salary is too low. Since the two family heads are giving me so much face, I can't be ungrateful. How about this, each security consultant's salary is 20 million per year!"
Neither family head offered a polite refusal; in their eyes, there was little difference between 1 million and 20 million.
We chatted for a while longer.
Sun Yuanlin suddenly asked, "Brother Gao, what do you think of my daughter? Is she qualified to be your apprentice?"
"Miss Sun's talent is quite good!"
Gao Yan smiled and said.
"Ruoxi, kneel down and kowtow!"
Sun Yuanlin was overjoyed and quickly reminded Sun Ruoxi.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ruoxi realized what was happening and quickly got up, knelt down, and kowtowed, but Gao Yan helped her up.
Seeing the disappointment in Sun Ruoxi's eyes, he smiled and said, "Our sect doesn't stand on such things. I'll accept you as my disciple!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Sun Ruoxi was overjoyed.
Qin Zhihui, standing to the side, exclaimed, "Damn it! This Sun Yuanlin is too shameless! He actually used the guise of becoming Gao Yan's apprentice to get closer to her. It's a pity that the younger generation of the Qin family doesn't seem to have any exceptionally beautiful women."
"Master Gao, I heard that you have a medicinal wine. Could our Sun family purchase a batch?"
Sun Yuanlin said somewhat humbly.
“Okay, I’ll sell it for 20 million a bottle to the public, but since Ruoxi is my apprentice now, let’s make it 10 million a bottle!” Gao Yan said.
"No, no!" Sun Yuanlin quickly waved his hand: "It is already a blessing for Ruoxi to accept you as her disciple. How could I possibly take advantage of you? Let's calculate it at 20 million per bottle!"
"Okay!"
Gao Yan nodded: "I will provide you with one hundred bottles every month!"
"Thank you very much, Master!"
Sun Yuanlin said excitedly.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhihui secretly wondered if he should also adjust their purchase price to 20 million per bottle, since the medicinal wine was of great help to the Qin family.
Furthermore, even though the Sun family offered 20 million per bottle, they still wanted to take advantage of the situation, which inevitably damaged their relationship.
"Master Gao, Brother Qin, shall we find a place to talk privately?"
Suddenly, Sun Yuanlin lowered his voice and said.
"Okay!" Qin Zhihui gave Sun Yuanlin a meaningful look.
A short while later.
The three of them arrived at a secluded place.
"Master Gao, have you ever heard of the Martial Arts Group?" Sun Yuanlin asked.
Qin Zhihui thought to himself, "Just as I expected." He knew Sun Yuanlin was going to bring this up when he suggested they talk alone.
"Know!"
Gao Yan nodded.
Sun Yuanlin revealed a bitter expression: "Some time ago, the Martial Group sent a Dan Jin to our Sun family, demanding that our Sun family submit to the Martial Group. From now on, 30% of our Sun family's profits will have to be handed over to the Martial Group, and we will have to obey their orders!"
"Our Qin family is the same!"
Qin Zhihui added.
"Since you have already submitted to the Martial Group, what do you mean by telling me all this?" Gao Yan asked with a half-smile.
"It didn't mean anything by it!"
Sun Yuanlin shook his head: "The Martial Group is powerful, and we can't resist them. I told Master Gao about this just to warn him that the Martial Group might target you. I feel that the Martial Group's style of doing things is quite domineering!"
"The Martial Arts Group will probably cause trouble at this martial arts exchange conference!" Qin Zhihui said thoughtfully. "I wonder how the five super martial arts families will react?"
