Master Song glanced at Jiang Li with pity.
Such a wonderful young lady, so capable and talented, yet she's not meant to be with our family.
Feeling somewhat frustrated, Master Song looked at his good-for-nothing son again.
"I'll ask you one more time, do you really not want to inherit the family business?"
Master Song's tone was very calm, without his usual exasperation and anger, as if he were simply asking for Song Gui's opinion.
Song Gui straightened his back instantly, looked at his father with a serious expression, and answered firmly, "Yes, I don't want to!"
“Okay.” Master Song indicated that he understood, but at the same time he made his own request, “You can go out and do what you want to do, but… I want you to get married within a year.”
Since the grandson is the hope of the family, he should be born as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when he gets old, he won't be able to teach him anymore.
“This…” Song Gui looked troubled.
Getting married within a year is... for a single person who doesn't have a partner.
This is really difficult.
"What? No way?" Master Song's expression immediately turned ugly. He scolded him with exasperation, "You didn't want to inherit the family business, and now you don't want to get married. What exactly do you want? Do you have to drive me crazy?"
Before Song Gui could speak, Jiang Li acted as a peacemaker.
"A year is a bit too rushed. Besides, given the nature of Mr. Song's work, even if he has a girlfriend, he won't have much time to spend with her. It would be better to get to know her better before getting married."
After a pause, Jiang Li continued, "Within the next year, he needs to meet girls, pursue them, and get to know them. Getting married would be too rushed. What if they don't work out and he has to get a divorce? Listen to me, how about two years?"
Master Song thought about it and felt that what Jiang Li said made sense, so he agreed with her.
Then he turned to Song Gui and said, "For the sake of my little ancestor speaking up for you, it'll be two years! If you can find a wife on your own, as long as she's of good character and willing to marry you and have children, I won't interfere with anything else. But if you can't do it yourself, don't blame me for using my connections to have someone introduce you to someone. Anyway, you have to get married by the end of the two years."
Faced with a choice between the two options, Song Gui had no choice but to agree to the request.
I just don't know, which is more painful: inheriting the family business and not being able to do what you like, or being forced into marriage and having children?
However, the current situation is already very good for him.
So Song Gui bowed deeply to Jiang Li, his voice filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Miss Jiang."
If it weren't for Jiang Li, he wouldn't have had even the slightest bit of freedom.
Moreover, they will definitely live in misery for the rest of their lives.
Jiang Li waved her hand, "You don't need to thank me, just remember our bet."
Song Gui smiled before turning to Lu Shiyan. "President Lu, I agree to join your company. The compensation will be as you previously agreed."
Although he could have negotiated for better treatment, having a team that allowed him to make his own decisions was far more important to him than salary.
and……
As a member of the Song family, he really didn't care about that little bit of money.
“Then let’s…” Lu Shiyan extended his hand to Song Gui, “and have a pleasant cooperation?”
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After the two finished their discussion, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Come on, let's discuss the reward for reviving Master Song."
Upon hearing this, Master Song immediately said, "Young master, how insulting is money, such a worldly thing? Look around my house, if there's anything you like, just take it as payment!"
For someone like Jiang Li, it would be best to form a positive connection with her.
Especially since Jiang Li is Gu Yanzhi's junior sister, he is considered an elder in front of her, so it is only right for him to give her a gift when they meet.
Moreover, those things are much better off being used properly by the right people than being left at home to gather dust.
then……
Song Gui led Jiang Li to his treasure pavilion, which contained all sorts of precious treasures and magical artifacts.
Jiang Li looked through everything carefully, and finally asked Master Song with a serious expression, "Can I choose whatever I want from here? You'll agree to whatever I choose?"
“Of course.” Master Song nodded. “Don’t be shy, choose whatever you like, and you can even pick three items.”
It was given as a gift, as payment for waking him up, and as a way of thanking Jiang Li for resolving the issue of inheriting the family business.
For other members of the Xuanmen sect, everything here was tempting, and they wanted to stuff everything into their bags.
Only Jiang Li...
She fell in love with a piece of jade at first sight.
Jade is an uncarved raw stone, with a translucent and moist luster, and it contains a trace of spiritual energy. It is a rare and fine piece of jade.
Jiang Li pointed at the jade and said to Master Song, "I want that piece of jade."
"Young master, you have excellent taste! This is a fine piece of jade." As he spoke, Master Song took the jade and placed it in an exquisite box.
Soon, Jiang Li reached out and took another red rope.
The red rope is nothing special; it looks like an ordinary rope.
"Young master, this is just a rope. What do you need it for?" Master Song looked puzzled, then seemed to realize something. He said, "You wouldn't be trying to save me money by taking this, would you? There's no need, really no need, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Master Song saw Jiang Li prick her finger with a needle, squeezing out a drop of blood that fell onto the red rope. The red rope instantly emitted a burst of red light, and the next second, the red light dissipated, and the red rope wrapped itself around Jiang Li's wrist.
Jiang Li raised her hand and gently tapped the red rope, which then disappeared from everyone's sight.
Master Song: "!!!"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
At once……
I suspect there might be something very wrong with my eyes.
Seeing that the two people's expressions were quite amusing, Jiang Li tapped her wrist again, and the red string reappeared.
Everyone: "..."
“This red string is a ring space,” Jiang Li explained to Master Song. “It’s just that it has already recognized its owner, and it’s too late for you to regret it now.”
Master Song felt a pang of regret upon hearing this, but he still twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't regret it. After all, if it weren't for you, little ancestor, discovering it, it would have remained just a red string in our eyes forever. The fact that you recognized it means that it was your destiny with it."
After a pause, Master Song continued, "Little Ancestor, choose another one."
"I won't choose anymore." Jiang Li waved her hand. "These are enough. To express my gratitude, I'll give you a few talismans."
Master Song was initially embarrassed to accept, but considering Jiang Li's abilities, he shamelessly accepted without hesitation.
Jiang Li drew talismans on the spot, drawing all the basic ones that didn't consume much energy.
Master Song looked at the talismans with shining eyes, unable to put them down.
Fearing that they might be damaged, he immediately ordered people to frame the talismans and hang them in the training room, so that all his disciples could draw them in the same style.
Of course, it was still a little embarrassing for Jiang Li to take away someone else's ring space just because it was only a few talismans.
She also wrote several other incense recipes for Master Song.
There are also methods to ward off evil spirits.
This thrilled Master Song to no end.
These are all extremely precious and secret things. In other sects, only members of the sect are allowed to learn them, and those of lower status are not even qualified to learn them. This little rascal...
You just gave it to him like that?!
Master Song suddenly felt that he hadn't given enough.
If mastered, the gift Jiang Li gave could bring glory to an entire sect.
“My little ancestor, why don’t you go and pick out a few more things? Otherwise…” Master Song was a little embarrassed, “I feel unworthy of such an offer.”
Jiang Li looked at Master Song seriously and said in a solemn tone, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, apart from the two things I took, I don't care about anything else."
Master Song: "..."
I'm sorry, he brought this upon himself.
After settling things with the Song family, Jiang Li left with Lu Shiyan.
As for the secretary, she had already gone home.
He had to handle everything himself, completing Song Gui's onboarding procedures so that Song Gui could start working immediately without having to worry about anything else.
Sitting in Lu Shiyan's car, Jiang Li seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Ayan, there's something I want to ask you..."
"Huh? What?"
"Your secretary said she saw a portrait of me in your office. Can you tell me what happened?"
Lu Shiyan's ears turned red instantly.
