Meng Qiulan shook her head: "I can't do it, Madam, please find someone else."
Getting gold coins out of Ye Shang's mouth is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
After saying this, Meng Qiulan saw that her face looked very bad, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Madam Meng glanced at her two sons beside her, but said nothing more.
Her sons understood what she meant.
-
The Liang family was in a similar situation, but the two heads of the Liang family were at least more intelligent than Madam Meng.
After Liang You accepted Ye Shang's situation, the Liang family head had already prepared a sufficient amount of Ink Star Stones.
However, this time Liang You was also allowed to take his eldest son with him. The Liang family head felt that since his illegitimate son could be recognized by the leaders of the human base, his eldest son must be just as good.
The other aristocratic families were not yet aware of their plans, but upon seeing that both the Meng and Liang families were sending their eldest sons out to gain experience, they all wondered what this meant.
-
First base.
Qingli rubbed her forehead. She had been dealing with various matters since she returned yesterday, and had finally finished dealing with them after staying up all night.
Thinking back to yesterday when he got off the plane, he learned that Qing Wentao had been coming to his residence from time to time while he was away, which made Qing Li feel extremely disgusted.
A lot of things have been added to the house; I wonder what they've changed.
Qingli almost always sat in the chair in the study and rarely left the room.
He could at least guarantee that he would place a spatial lock on this room before leaving, covering not only this door but almost the entire room.
However, this couldn't go on forever. If he stayed away for too long, the guards outside wouldn't be able to stop Qing Wentao and the Bai family mother and daughter from trying to break in.
After thinking for a long time, Qingli decided that since the old man didn't care about his son, he shouldn't care about him either.
In the evening, during dinner.
The Bai family mother and daughter, who were never favored by the old man, appeared at the dinner table, and Qing Wentao grinned from ear to ear.
When Qingli arrived dressed in a black trench coat, this was the scene he saw. Without even thinking, he turned and left.
"Stop!" Qing Mingxiu shouted angrily when he saw his grandson Zhunzhun about to leave.
Qingli stopped and turned around indifferently. "Since Grandpa has no intention of discussing matters, then let's call it a day."
Qingmingxiu's brows were furrowed so deeply they could almost trap a mosquito. "Come sit down."
When Qingli saw the person on the other side of the table, he thought that perhaps today was an opportunity, so he walked over.
On the other side, Bai Yuru's eyes flashed with contempt. She was still being manipulated just the same way. She looked glamorous, but she was still being manipulated.
Qingli pretended not to see her gaze and sat down on the other side.
Qing Mingxiu then smiled again, "That's more like it."
A moment later, a commotion arose outside, and four people carrying some gifts walked in; they appeared to be a family of four.
A couple, and a son and a daughter.
As soon as he entered, one of the men greeted him with a broad smile: "Oh, old man, it's been a long time. You're getting healthier and healthier."
Qing Mingxiu said with a smile, "Please sit down."
They handed the gift to the butler who was standing to the side.
After they sat down, the younger girl would occasionally glance at Qingli without making a sound.
The young man looked at Bai Yuru.
A slight blush rose to Bai Yuru's face. Noticing his gaze, she lowered her head shyly.
Qingli held a small spoon in his hand and slowly stirred the water in the cup, his eyes lowered, and no one could see what he was thinking.
They continued exchanging pleasantries, with Qing Mingxiu occasionally chiming in, until he suddenly mentioned, "My grandson is currently single as well."
Qingli looked up directly, interrupting the man who was about to speak: "Grandpa, have you forgotten? I already have a girlfriend."
The moment he said that, the harmonious atmosphere at the table froze, and even the gentle and quiet girl on the other side stared at him blankly.
Qingming Xiu gave a forced smile: "Xiao Li, don't joke like that."
Qingli glanced indifferently at everyone present: "I'm not joking. My lover is the captain of the Fifth Base. If you don't believe me, you can check."
He continued, "As for why I'm staying today, I'm here to announce something." His eyes were icy cold: "From now on, I will lead the search team away from the First Base and be stationed permanently at the Fifth Base."
After saying that, he stood up and looked down at everyone: "I don't care what schemes you have or what you want to scheme against me, my marriage has always been my own decision."
Qing Wentao seized the opportunity and roared: "You unfilial son!"
Qing Mingxiu's face was also ashen. "Xiao Li, are you really going to throw away all pretense of civility today?"
Qingli didn't even look at him, and said only, "Grandpa, I remember your teachings when I was young. If one day you need me to take care of you in your final days, I will be eternally grateful. But now that you have allowed them to come here today, it means that you approve of the Bai family. In that case, I don't need to stay any longer."
After speaking, he didn't even look at the crowd, and directly issued a series of commands and instructions on the personal computer.
This is a document that Qingli prepared today; you only need to send it with one click.
Almost all other base management personnel received these documents and notifications.
After Qing Li left, Qing Wentao burst into a tirade: "Dad, this is outrageous! Quickly call someone to arrest him and bring him back!"
With a gloomy, aged face, Qing Mingxiu coldly roared, "Enough already, how long are you going to keep this up?"
The Bai family mother and daughter dared not utter a single word, and even the visiting family of four dared not speak.
The butler, who was standing nearby, looked at a series of notification documents on the personal terminal and hurriedly showed them to the old man.
Qing Mingxiu was shocked to see one of the documents, with the top sentence stating that Qing Li, the captain of the First Base, had resigned from his position as captain and was no longer associated with the Qing family.
Qingming Xiuqi's chest began to heave rapidly, and the butler quickly stepped forward to help him catch his breath.
Qing Mingxiu opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, you can all go back now."
His gaze swept over the Bai family, and he added, "It would be best if the Bai family set foot in this building less often in the future."
Bai Yuru and her daughter's expressions changed drastically in an instant, but they dared not object and could only lower their heads and tightly grip the fabric of their skirts.
Qing Wentao, standing to the side, felt extremely distressed and was about to speak when he said, "Dad..."
He was silenced by a single glare from the master and swallowed the words he was about to say.
The family of four had barely sat down and hadn't even eaten when they were called back. Although they felt a little embarrassed, the First Base's leader was now in charge, so they didn't dare say anything and could only smile sheepishly and say, "Okay, we'll come visit you again next time."
The girl standing to the side hesitated to speak, but her mother grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her out, afraid that her daughter would say something offensive.
