Wei Jun's research wasn't limited to Song Li's contract expiration. There was one more thing that Song Li was facing. The problem of aging. No matter what, she wasn't what she used to be. Her skin now had wrinkles that she had to hide with a lot of makeup. Although her contract was about to expire, there was a chance she wouldn't have her contract renewed again after this.
There was the option of cultivation, but not everyone could afford it even if one had a lot of money. Not to ntion, talent is also a great factor when it cos to cultivation.
Wei Jun couldn't afford the eternal youth pill but he could afford sothing that gave temporary effect. Besides, a temporary effect would have her hooked for a long ti. A permanent effect would cause Wei Jun to lose in his negotiation.
"Tell , how many layers of makeup have you applied?" Wei Jun asked, a completely irrelevant question but from the expression on Song Li's face, it hit closer to ho.
"Just know that you're not fooling anybody." Wei Jun once again remarked before he put his hand into his pocket. Song Li, on the other hand, remained quiet but she knew that Wei Jun knew of her current predicant.
Wei Jun pretended to take sothing out of his pocket while in truth, he was pulling it out of his inventory and said, "I will let Miss Li decide that. Use one while you stand in front of the mirror. I will wait for your call." Wei Jun said nothing else and simply left after paying.
Song Li was intrigued and picked up the small vial that contained ten blue pills the size of a human nail. Although Song Li had no reason to, she still decided to check it out.

'So the pill would make her look younger?' Wei Jun inquired from the system as he returned to his villa.
[Yes and no]
[It doesn't just change the appearance]
[It makes the consur younger]
[As in entire being]
[Muscle structure, any ailnt if that person has reverts back to that ti, everything]
'Wow. I just had an amazing idea.' Wei Jun thought after hearing the system's answer.
"Check if there is an auction this weekend." Wei Jun asked Chen Xian who was standing close to him. Chen Xian simply nodded and bowed slightly to relay his acknowledgnt of the command.
After that, Wei Jun returned to eating. Although he had eaten all day, those portions weren't even one-tenth of what he eats at just one ti so he was really hungry. Madam Lim had to prepare three tis worth of food for Wei Jun on very short notice.
Once Wei Jun finished eating, he went to the gym to do a few sets where he found the bodyguard team exercising diligently. However, their diligence was nothing compared to the exercise they were doing. A simple set of a few pushups and running. That's all they were doing.
'Wah. They expect to guard soone with just this much effort.' He thought as he went to them. They stopped once they saw him and greeted him, "Good evening, Director Ruan."
Instead of replying, Wei Jun said, "It's not enough. What you are doing isn't enough." A smile appeared on his face that for so reason, scared the bodyguard team.
=====
'How frail of them. It's not like they aren't being paid.' Wei Jun remarked inwardly as he stared at two resignation letters from two bodyguards. The rest remained were the people who desperately needed to be at the company so even though their bodies were broken, they still didn't resign.
They were, however, extrely astonished when they saw Wei Jun doing ten tis the exercise that broke them down without breaking a sweat. So maybe money wasn't the only reason they remained at the company.
Wei Jun moved on from this issue and opened his phone to see many missed calls from Song Li. She had called him thirty-nine tis throughout the night. Even now he was receiving calls from her. Wei Jun smiled and called her back finally.
"I will do it. I will sign whatever contract you give ." The first thing she did after picking up Wei Jun's call was agree to whatever terms he had.
Wei Jun chuckled and replied, "Then I will wait until your contract expires. See you in ten days." Wei Jun didn't listen to another word from her and ended the call. Since he had given her the honey, it was ti for the hatchet now.
She would soon end up using all those pills and once she ran out of them in a few days, for the remaining days, she would again have to live with those wrinkles and heavy makeup. That would make her even more dependent on Wei Jun.
Wei Jun now decided to co back to the matters at hand. He was missing one crucial piece of the puzzle to complete it. 'I need a hero.'
There was no male lead in the film he had been planning to make. He wasn't also sure about making Quan Kui the heroine after so deep contemplation. Quan Kui was new. She needed to start from the bottom. He needed a heroine who was experienced.
As he was stuck in this dilemma, Chen Xian entered the office and reported, "Young Master Ruan, Miss Xia Lu has accepted your proposal to have dinner."
Wei Jun was left puzzled at this news. 'Who the hell is Xia Lu?' He inwardly tried very hard but couldn't find an answer.
[She is the third main heroine]
The answer to his question was provided by the system. Wei Jun nodded as although he knew there were three main heroines, he only knew of two and nothing about the third one since she wasn't in the first volu.
Wei Jun nodded and contemplated on the spot without replying to Chen Xian. This was a serious matter. He couldn't just deal with it like the other etings.
[Why not hire her?]
The system proposed. Wei Jun's eyes widened. 'That's it! I don't have to get rid of her if she is one of my loyal subordinates.'
Initially, Wei Jun was deciding whether to kill her or not but now that he could approach this problem in another way, the solution was very simple.
"When is the eting?" Wei Jun finally replied, asking about the eting.
"Tomorrow lunch." Chen Xian replied. Wei Jun smiled and said nothing in return. 'Let us wait for tomorrow then.'
=====
The rest two are coming in shortly.
