Li Caiyi also stared at ng Renshu, eagerly waiting for his answer. She had a wild guess about why ng Renshu offered such things, but there was no evidence to support it.
She had to find out whether ng Renshu regained another mory regarding their past life or not. Considering how so of her mories of Shen Qiang were gone again, she was almost sure about this.
"Solving problems using the power of money and connection has always been my thod of doing things. Didn't you guys know about this too?"
"No, you definitely ca prepared then. As honorable of a young master as you are, you aren't the boss yet. There's no way you can decide such things arbitrarily without talking it out to your father first."
Li Caiyi was amazed by how Li Junjie smoothly pointed out the suspicious point of ng Renshu's action. She didn't get a turn to talk at all. But maybe that was for the best because ng Renshu would feel suspicious if she asked too many questions.
"Wow, you are underestimating , Junjie. My influence has grown considerably in the past month, so there is no need to worry about it. Besides, it's better to let your father in a place where you can still monitor him rather than letting him roam free, isn't it? You can rely on for that."
"No, thanks. I couldn't care less about him, and this is too suspicious," Li Junjie said skeptically.
"Co one, give more credits. I said what I said, but emptying a spot at short notice wasn't an easy task either, you know?"
"So you admitted that you have been prepared for it beforehand?"
"I didn't say such a thing. Yes, the period is short, and it was difficult to arrange, but not impossible. I don't have to know it beforehand to make this happen. In fact, I only thought about helping you back then, so I ignored how troubleso it was."
Li Caiyi could tell he was trying to avoid the topic, so she asked, "Brother Renshu, why did you offer such a deal to our father? Is the situation that bad that you have to offer such an enormous deal to him?"
"Because why not?" ng Renshu shrugged his shoulders.
"After hearing about your plan, I can already guess it won't work out well. You can't win a negotiation by only giving a whip to your opponent because they'll demand a carrot. Unless you are an excellent negotiator, of course. And we all know that both you or Junjie aren't the best conversationalists here."
The Li siblings couldn't refute the last sentence because he was telling the truth.
ng Renshu nodded in satisfaction seeing the two people in front of him silently agree with him. "I was only doing what I thought was the best way out for everyone. To do that, losing so energy to find a spot for your father was worth the trouble."
"I see," Li Junjie said. "Well, I admit I was kind of too rash then. My mind was busy thinking about how I could make him listen to rather than resolve this by negotiation. I thought the option for that was non-existent."
"You aren't wrong, actually. It's just you miscalculate a few things. Cornered animals are the most dangerous. You can pressure a person but never corner them without preparation. If you ignore this rule, then be prepared to be bitten."
Li Caiyi only sat there and listened, but she felt like she had learned a lot.
ng Renshu barely showed her the other side of him except the gentle and ruthless side, so seeing him talking about this awed her. He had yet to turn 20, but he already had a mature look into things.
This might be why he was the only one who could keep up with her brother. Her brother was a book genius, but ng Renshu was a genius who also had a high EQ.
However, she kept getting a weird feeling whenever he showed his cynical way of thinking.
"Brother Renshu, are you okay?"
ng Renshu's brows raised in confusion. "Are you talking about my leg?"
"No, it's just, I feel like asking that." Li Caiyi noticed that her question was strange, so she shook her head. "Nevermind. Forget I said anything."
ng Renshu stared at Li Caiyi deeply. A knowing smirk adorned his face for a second before it reverted to his original smile.
"Now that I have explained how and why I did it, it should have answered your questions."
"Wait, in the end, what kind of position did you offer to him?" Li Junjie asked him again.
"Junjie, you really don't know when to stop. Is this my interrogation session or sothing?"
"What do you an? Brother Jie, you didn't know even if you were in the sa room as them?"
"I didn't because Renshu only shoved a piece of paper to Father, and after that, he obediently signed it."
Li Caiyi shifted her gaze to ng Renshu again, demanding his explanation. ng Renshu sighed.
"Do you have to know that too? Fine, I assigned him as one of the researchers in our central lab. It was the most confidential and hid various kinds of information regarding new types of dicine. This is like a dream job for those who have dedicated themselves to the dical world, so I know he will agree if I prepare that position for him."
"To even go so far, what if our father ssed up in your company's laboratory?"
ng Renshu shrugged. "Then that's his problem. I can promote him, but I can also demote him if I want to."
Li Junjie squinted his eyes suspiciously, looking dissatisfied with his answer. ng Renshu groaned in exasperation.
"What now? I have told you everything truthfully."
"Yeah, and that's why it's suspicious. Normally it isn't so easy to force you to talk like this."
"Junjie, you are really an, you know that?"
Li Caiyi didn't pay attention to the rest of their bickering and thought deeply. Although ng Renshu's explanation was totally reasonable, there was indeed sothing about it that felt off. She just couldn't point out what that was.
However, the most obvious thing she learned from this conversation was that she couldn't tell what kind of mory he had regained.
