Having established a communication link with WuShu, Li Jing quickly went back to the room, placed Xiao’ai on the stand, added WuShu to her friends list and left her be.
He didn’t need to bother himself with this.
As long as Xiao’ai had successfully registered as a rchant, she could handle it herself.
In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
The managent bureau staff did not co in the morning.
Liu Sisi woke up at noon, had a al, then went to the guest room to ask Xiao’ai for information and imrsed herself in "study".
Li Jing, having nothing to do, simply moved a chair and sat in the courtyard.
It was a rare mont of leisure.
Soaking in the sun, while fiddling with his new cell phone he bought this morning was not bad.
You know what?
After using Xiao’ai for a long ti and getting used to all kinds of conveniences, suddenly returning to a regular phone was quite a novelty.
Around two in the afternoon, a beam of sword light descended from the sky and landed outside the courtyard, revealing Jiang Yini.
Li Jing sitting in the courtyard, looked up and saw her, slightly surprised.
When Jiang Yini said soone would deliver his docunts today, it definitely wouldn’t turn out to be an empty promise.
But having the director herself coming in person, honestly, was beyond his expectations.
Looking strangely at Jiang Yini, who was quite particular about landing outside the courtyard, Li Jing got up, went to the front of the courtyard, and laughed saying,
"Sister Yini, you should be quite busy. Why are you personally coming over here?"
"You have the nerve to ask!"
Jiang Yini huffed, pretending to be angry.
"Last night, I ssaged you to join for supper, and you didn’t even reply!"
"Forgot."
Li Jing shrugged his shoulders.
Jiang Yini got into a drama the mont she arrived, which he didn’t bother to keep up with.
Last night he didn’t respond to the ssage, Jiang Yini seed to understand, and didn’t send a ssage afterwards.
This was sothing everyone understood without communicating.
If he had to cooperate, he would just give people the opportunity to act up.
As for Brother Jiang Yini’s temperant, Brother Jing had no idea how deep it might be.
But he understood all he should.
Furthermore, in fact, the little act Jiang Yini was putting on right now was left over from playing with Liu Sisi.
To deal with such sches, Jing had plenty of experience.
It goes without saying, seeing as so people have absolutely no intention to cooperate, Jiang Yini is left without room to act for a while.
She knew this trick, and she could use it.
She had the "capital" to play tricks, but as a director, she couldn’t play the role of a full of aggrieved little woman like Liu Sisi.
Taking out a small blue book at random, Jiang Yini passed it over and said,
"This is your certificate. Keep it safe and don’t lose it. Your rit Points account is bound to the chip inside the certificate. If you want to use rit Points to exchange various things, you can swipe it at the Managent Bureau’s Logistics Departnt."
While she said this, she continued to explain,
"There aren’t many rules for exchanging rit Points, as long as the spiritual objects you want are in the Managent Bureau’s inventory, you can take them on the spot. But if it is not in the inventory, and needs to be transferred from other regional Managent Bureaus or from the National Treasury, you may have to wait two or three days."
"Okay, I understand."
Taking the little blue book, Li Jing looked at it and then asked,
"How many rit points do I currently have in my account?"
"Four hundred and twenty thousand."
Jiang Yini responded.
"That much?"
Li Jing was surprised.
"Indeed, it’s more than expected, but mainly because the Research Institute had a breakthrough."
Jiang Yini answered, saying,
"The Research Institute has successfully deciphered the text on the lid of the stone coffin you brought back, concluding that there is so kind of inheritance in the golden stele that was buried with it, dating back tens of thousands of years. The inheritance may be a technique or sothing else, and no conclusion has been reached yet."
There’s a Saint Clan inheritance inside the Golden Stele?
Li Jing was surprised.
Just as he wanted to ask, Jiang Yini shook her head.
"As for the specific situation, it’s not clear at the mont. The material of the golden stele is very special, not any of the known spiritual materials. It was also a sophisticated refining technique, not an ordinary one."
Saying that, she continued,
"Currently, the golden stele, along with the stone coffin, has been sent to the National Research Institute Headquarters for research and deciphering by several senior fellows who have deep research into alien civilizations, in conjunction with experts from the Refining Association and the Appraisal Association. Considering the confird research value of the golden stele, I directly gave you 200,000 rit Points from the managent bureau, and there will be no more later."
After the explanation, she added,
"The remaining 220,000, of which 200,000 I have already told you in advance, are for your significant contributions to the Secret Realm exploration on the two occasions. Then, 20,000 are from your two large thrones. This number is given by the Research Institute after the throne material appraisal, and if other values are found in the throne, more rit points will be supplented for you later."
"Hmm."
Li Jing nodded, carefully putting away his identification.
Four hundred and twenty thousand rit points, which is equivalent to four point two billion.
This couldn’t be lost.
"When you have ti, go to the Managent Bureau’s Logistics Departnt once. I only brought your identification here; the badge and uniform will have to be claid by you."
Jiang Yini instructed and looked into the courtyard and smiled,
"Speaking of which, I personally brought over your certificate, aren’t you going to invite in?"
"Ah, Sister Yini, what are you saying? Do I seem the kind not to entertain guests?"
Li Jing pretended to put on a facade and moved aside, saying,
"Co in, I have sothing to discuss with Sister Yini. We can sit down and talk."
How clever is Jiang Yini?
Listening to Li Jing’s tone, she imdiately knew that soone had a purpose.
But she also had her own agenda in making this personal trip.
Pretending not to care, she walked into the courtyard, Jiang Yini asked,
"Isn’t your girlfriend at ho?"
"She’s in the guest room studying magic skills."
Li Jing responded, casually saying,
"First, Sister Yini, let’s talk business, then I’ll introduce her to you."
As for being cunning, Brother Jing was second to none.
For Director Jiang to personally deliver his docunts, her motive could not be simple.
As for what the purpose was, Jing couldn’t be bothered to guess.
It was mostly about wanting to play so small tricks to get him.
Since she was here, it was impossible to avoid her eting Liu Sisi,
He was considering employing Liu Sisi as his secretary to make so moves at the Managent Bureau, and the two were bound to et sooner or later.
If that’s the case, there’s no need to overly avoid it.
Jiang Yini was a cunning person herself.
Seeing Li Jing saying he wanted to talk about business first, then introduce Liu Sisi, she imdiately understood that soone wanted to play a ga of "waiting for a price increase".
By the ti Li Jing finished talking, she would probably not be introduced to Liu Sisi if she did not agree.
...
Both harboring their own ulterior motives, they entered the villa, and as soon as Jiang Yini entered, she was drawn to the Stinky Tofu in the living room, who had been lounging around in the yard all morning watching TV.
A quiet Shiba Inu watching TV still on the couch looked quite off.
On the other hand, when Stinky Tofu heard the movent of soone entering, he instinctively turned his head.
Seeing Jiang Yini looking at him, it tilted its head in confusion.
The human-like behavior convinced Jiang Yini that this husky was no ordinary one.
"Li Jing, your husky..."
"It’s not mine, it’s Yuran’s pet spirit dog," Li Jing answered.
"She’s been working overti and has no ti to take care of it, so she sent it here temporarily..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Stinky Tofu, who was staring at Jiang Yini, suddenly kicked him with its hind leg. Turning its head, it began fiercely gnawing at its own leg as if it wasn’t its own.
Jiang Yini was intrigued when she heard that Stinky Tofu was Chen Yuran’s pet spirit dog and was carefully observing it.
Seeing it kick itself and then bite itself, Jiang Yini’s mouth twitched.
"This husky of Chen Yuran’s has quite a pure lineage."
Li Jing turned his head upon hearing this, saw Stinky Tofu ssing with its own leg, and chose to ignore it.
Li Jing didn’t know about Stinky Tofu’s lineage.
But acting quirky, that was part of its daily life.
After ushering Jiang Yini to a seat and pouring her a cup of tea, Li Jing spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"Sister Yini, my girlfriend is looking for a job, can you arrange for her to be my secretary?"
"Secretary?"
Jiang Yini frowned and said,
"Arranging a job won’t be a problem, but this position of your strategic adviser is quite idle. Having a secretary for....."
Before she could finish, Li Jing shook his head.
"I have the authority to mobilize a team of ten thousand, how could this be considered an idle position?"
After refuting, he blushed and said,
"As the saying goes, you should consider your duties in your position. Since I’ve promised you, Sister Yini, that I would join the Managent Bureau, I should also consider for you. If I don’t do anything, people would indeed gossip. I have patrol duties to fulfill, and I can’t manage the Bureau on a regular basis, there’s no other way. It’s just right that my girlfriend takes my place at the Bureau and handles affairs."
"..."
Jiang Yini fell silent.
Being as astute as she was, it wasn’t hard for her to realize that Li Jing had designs on expanding his role within the Managent Bureau.
Furthermore, Jiang Yini wished he would simply resign from his patrol duties and ca under her command.
Having Li Jing’s girlfriend act as a "good wife and wise mother" to help run the Bureau didn’t make much of a difference.
As long as Li Jing developed within the Managent Bureau, he would eventually beco one of her people.
Before that, his girlfriend would first beco one of her people.
This was a situation that Jiang Yini was pleased to see.
What rendered her speechless was,
Soone had just been a bit too shaless!
The promised part-ti position had inexplicably beco a full-ti position?
He should have co for a proper job interview first!
And he was ntioning about handling his duties in his position!
We are all adults here, can we be a bit more genuine?
After a mont of silence, Jiang Yini said,
"From what you’ve said, it seems that you hope your girlfriend can take up the daily tasks of your strategic adviser position as a secretary. I don’t have a problem with that, I can arrange an office for you when I’m back. At that ti, the managent of the team of ten thousand will officially be handed over to you."
After she finished, she paused and said,
"However, before that, I need to confirm two things. First, you have to tell whether your girlfriend ets the recruitnt standards of the Managent Bureau. If she hasn’t reached the Third Realm in her cultivation level, I’m afraid this won’t work."
Before Li Jing could reply, she continued,
"The second thing is that you need to think it through. Officially taking over the managent of the team of ten thousand will co with a significant amount of work. Even though there aren’t many actions to be taken on a daily basis by the Managent Bureau, we never slack off in our daily operations. The Managent Bureau not only deals with exploring secret realms but also responds to all sorts of supernatural disasters. Additionally, when necessary, we need to cooperate with the patrol and launch large-scale operations to suppress or deal with certain incidents."
"Hmm, I understand all of that."
Li Jing nodded and said,
"The cultivation level won’t be a problem, Sisi just entered the Third Realm recently. And her special constitution allows her to cultivate faster than ordinary people during winter. As for work, she has a background in secretarial studies and also has experience running a shop. Managing a team of ten thousand, she should be able to handle it after so adaptation ti."
Jiang Yini frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Just entering the Third Realm, indeed ets the entry requirents of the Managent Bureau.
However, this cultivation level was indeed a bit low.
The special physique that allowed her to cultivate faster than others during winter was noteworthy though.
There were quite a few types of special physique that could cultivate faster in winter.
Li Jing didn’t specify which special physique, but as long as it was a special physique, her growth speed and strength would definitely surpass an ordinary person’s.
In this aspect, Jiang Yini was well qualified to speak.
Stepping into the Fifth Boundary at the age of thirty, she relied not only on her own talents and efforts.
She also had a special constitution.
And it was a very rare Dark Night Physique.
In the dark night, her Qi Refining speed was nearly three tis that of an ordinary person’s.
Furthermore, her body had a very special Power of the Dark Night, which could manifest a Dark Night Entity to fight for her in the night. It could also erode the opponent and make them lose their senses in darkness.
After a mont of silence, Jiang Yini spoke.
"Would it be rude to ask, how old is your girlfriend this year?"
"27," answered Li Jing truthfully.
Jiang Yini looked a bit strange upon hearing this.
years old.
The age was not that big.
But stepping into the Third Realm at the age of 27 seed a bit slow.
The special constitution that Li Jing’s girlfriend had might not really benefit her much.
As she was thinking about this, Jiang Yini felt a bit perplexed.
Li Jing, with his cultivation level in the late stage of the Fourth Realm, why would he take a liking to a woman who had just recently stepped into the Third Realm from the late stage of the Second Realm?
Compared to her, Chen Jing’s daughter was clearly more attractive, wasn’t she?
Was there a story behind this?
Just as Jiang Yini was speculating, the door to the guest room suddenly "creaked" open, and Liu Sisi walked out, stretching lazily.
Catching the sudden movent out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Yini instinctively turned her head.
Seeing Liu Sisi’s enchanting figure as she stretched, she was slightly taken aback and furrowed her brows.
On the other side, when Liu Sisi saw Li Jing and Jiang Yini sitting at the table after she walked out, she was taken aback for a mont too. She quickly dropped her arms and adopted a well-behaved posture.
Seeing Liu Sisi co out, Li Jing stood up.
"Sisi, let introduce you. This is Director Jiang Yini of the Managent Bureau. We’ve already agreed on you joining the Managent Bureau to be my secretary."
When Liu Sisi heard that Jiang Yini was the Director of the Managent Bureau, her eyes widened.
That the Director of the Managent Bureau was a strikingly beautiful woman wasn’t that surprising. This world was one where strength talked. Female cultivators, with their higher cultivation levels, had more Qi nourishing their bodies, consequently making them stunningly beautiful.
What surprised her was...
The Director of the Managent Bureau had actually co to their ho in person.
Li Jing’s influence must be significant.
Not daring to be negligent, Liu Sisi quickly walked over and extended a hand.
"Director Jiang, hello. I am Liu Sisi, Li Jing’s girlfriend."
"Hello."
Jiang Yini smiled, extending her hand for a light shake and taking a careful look at Liu Sisi. She sounded a bit hesitant.
"You... are you from the Liu family?"
