Zhang Qilu took a sip of coffee and glanced at the expressions of the three of them. Lu Qi was the most impatient of the three.
Zhang Qilu continued, "I will give you a chance now. We have taken care of the families of all your comrades over the years. Of course, I will also help you continue to improve your cultivation. Are you willing to stay and help me?"
Lu Qi was already a little excited, and just as he was about to agree, Lu Shiyi next to him pressed him down.
"The salary will be doubled from the previous level. I promise that as long as there are pawns in the future, I will be willing to accept your trustworthy comrades."
Zheng Jiu asked, "What do you need us to do?"
"Of course you have to fight hard. You are soldiers. No matter what happened in the past, you are still soldiers. What else can you do except fight hard. You should know what we have been doing these years and who we need to fight against. We in China may welcome the whole world. If you are really afraid of the strife of the world, I can give you a sum of money and you can leave now."
"Who is scared?" Lu Shiyi blurted out uncontrollably.
"Okay then, you can change your name, or you can change it back to your original name."
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zhang Qilu continued.
"Lu Shiyi, you will be called Xu Tian from now on, Lu Qi, you will be called Xu Di, and Zheng Jiu, you will be called Xu Guo from now on. Changing your name also shows that you have completely stepped out of the pawn family."
The three of them exchanged glances, and Xu Tian said on behalf of the three of them, "Boss, the terms you have given us are too generous. Of course our brothers also know who you are. From now on, our lives will be handed over to the boss."
"From now on, I will leave my home to you. Please."
Zhang Qilu carefully looked at the plants and trees in the yard. The yard was planted with various trees suitable for growing in Shanghai, such as osmanthus trees, magnolia trees, camphor trees, dragon cypress trees, and cherry blossom trees. They were lush and full of vitality.
The layout here is far more than just metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Fifth Ruyi has put a lot of effort into this place. Zhang Qilu knew that Fifth Ruyi came here several times when it was built. Some of the layout here Only Zhang Qilu even knew.
"Who named Miao Yuju?"
"It's my master. Is there anything wrong?"
"It means the water is vast and life is endless. Very good."
"Uncle Junior, is it appropriate to leave our place to those outsiders from the pawn sect?"
"There is nothing inappropriate. No one in this world knows them better than us, and they themselves know this. Their biggest concern in this life is the families of their deceased comrades. They will not betray us, and they dare not. They are all stained people, and they are not afraid of death, but they want to wash away their stains, and only we can give them this opportunity."
"I'm still a little worried."
"Don't worry, your master has accepted many more disciples over the years."
"Yes, little uncle."
"Pick fifty young people with average talents and give them to them."
"yes."
The two came to the lake again and pressed the button. They came to the house made of water in the middle of the lake. Today, Zhang Qilu no longer values money very much, but he is still shocked by the strong smell of money here. To match the look, a lot of crystal and silver are used in the decorations and furniture. The surface of a large dining table for ten people is a whole piece of large crystal, black translucent crystal with old silver table legs. Above the table, there is a crystal lamp made of crystals of various colors, plus The starry sky outside the glass ceiling is simply beautiful. Zhang Qilu was slightly in a daze. It was a waste of money to eat in this space. It was very suitable for sitting in meditation and enlightenment.
The floor tiles here are also made of crystal. Proper polishing allows the surface of the crystal floor tiles to remain shiny and not slippery.
There are five large suites on the second floor. The rooms here should be prepared for Zhang Qilu's closest friends.
The third floor is Zhang Qilu's bedroom. At first glance, this floor is obviously smaller than the two floors downstairs. The space of about 300 square meters is completely open except for the bathroom. The living area, study room, bedroom, and reception area are all reasonably placed on this floor. More than five meters
The floor height gives this space an extremely spacious feeling, and the glass walls and ceilings give people a feeling of being infinitely close to the nature of heaven and earth.
Zhang Qilu came to the glass wall, and he finally understood why there seemed to be no structural frame from the inside to the outside. The glass was so usable and complete. It turns out that the glass here has two layers, and all the metal structures are sandwiched between the two layers of glass.
"Uncle Junior, even though this place is made of glass, it is much stronger than a reinforced concrete building. It can block all firearms and bullets."
"all?"
"Yes, including anti-material sniper rifles. Anti-armor rockets can only destroy the outer glass."
"Is it really necessary? This is China after all."
"Uncle Master, your life is precious now. You don't know how many people are relying on you for their livelihood, and there are countless people who put their wealth and life on you. How many people want you to die, and how many people will do whatever it takes. I’ll keep you safe.”
"I can protect myself, Mr. Xu, is it safe there?"
"We tried to persuade Master, but he was unwilling to move here. Now the old house in Qinchuan has been renovated. There are so many traps and traps. If we, the disciples of the Senju Sect, don't enter without permission, we will have to break them wherever we go. Don't worry, little Master. .”
"Liang Liqi."
"She is here and has been waiting for you. Young Master Uncle wants to see her now?"
"I know she is very capable and was recommended by Qin Dao. After all, she is here. Let's meet her."
The restaurant on the first floor is currently displaying several side dishes, a plate of attractively colored sweet and sour pork ribs, fragrant shredded eel in oil, steamed mandarin fish, white-chopped chicken, a plate of wine-scented grass heads, and a casserole of soybean pig. Hoof soup. There were also bottles of beer on the table without labels.
A woman walked into the glass villa. She was about thirty years old, with light makeup and decent professional attire. Although she tried her best to restrain her wise eyes, she was still attracted by the exquisite luxury in the house. Her oval-shaped face was slightly thin. , it should be caused by long-term hard work and pressure. The tall figure is slightly thin, but the steps are strong.
Liang Liqi walked to the table but did not sit down. It was also the first time for her to see this legendary boss. She was obviously a little embarrassed. She was really shocked by Zhang Qilu's appearance, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Sit down. Have dinner with me."
Twenty-year-old Zhang Qilu did not show the slightest aura of being a superior at this moment, but his words had an unquestionable momentum that made people have to follow him.
"Yes, boss."
The strong woman who controls hundreds of billions of capital is like a newcomer who has just entered the workplace. Although she sits down, she does not dare to lift the chopsticks.
"Liang Liqi, the Liang family in the capital."
Liang Liqi didn't know why Zhang Qilu mentioned her family, so she answered with a little hesitation.
"Yes, my father is the chairman of the Liang Family Group, Liang Yinlong."
"If you stay in the Liang family, you should have a chance to take over your father's job."
"I don't agree with my elders' ideas. At that time, I happened to meet Qin Dao and Master Qin in Europa, and he recommended me to come to you."
"If you don't agree with their ideas, then shouldn't you stay? Only then will you have the chance to change your family."
"My father is in very good health. I don't want to waste my most energetic and sharpest years in waiting and family strife. My older brother and younger brother are more suitable to take over my father's job."
Zhang Qilu opened the beer at this time, poured a glass, and gently tossed one of the bottles. The bottle drew a small arc, passed through the nearly five-meter long table, and landed steadily in front of Liang Liqi. Standing still, Zhang Qilu showed his amazing control.
"Is there any other reason?"
"The family is too pragmatic. They value the power of money more. Most of the family's power is used in the real estate industry and the financial industry. But I value the industrial and technology industries more."
"You think industrial and technology industries are practical, why?"
"The financial industry will create wealth, but sometimes the country just wants to find a handyman. Anyone can do it. In addition to making money, there is no other benefit.
Something more to him. Industry and technology create the future and real value. If you want to be more deeply bound to the current Chinese official and gain more support, you still have to engage in more valuable undertakings. "
The corners of Zhang Qilu's mouth curled up slightly, and he took a sip of beer. The cold feeling filled his heart, and then the fruity aroma of the foamy wine quickly filled his mouth, and then the aroma of hops exploded in his mouth. It was a great experience, excellent beer. . Zhang Qilu drank the remaining half glass of beer in one gulp. Zhang Qilu could guess that this beer was most likely brewed by Xu Qianqian for herself.
Zhang Qilu immediately changed the topic. Apparently he was satisfied with Liang Liqi's previous answer.
"You are chronically stressed, overtired, nervous, anxious, and often stay up late. You don't eat on time, and you like to eat cold food and drink ice. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, and the liver qi is stagnant, resulting in insufficient qi and blood."
As he spoke, Zhang Qilu took out a small, crystal clear jade bottle and threw it to Liang Liqi.
"There are eighteen small pills in the small bottle here. One pill a month can replenish your vitality. Keep the jade bottle close to your body. It can relieve your anxiety and help you calm down."
Liang Liqi was obviously flattered. She opened the jade bottle and took out a small red pill the size of a sesame seed, put it into her mouth and took it, then carefully put the jade bottle away close to her body.
"Aren't you worried about the poison I gave you?"
"Three corpse brain pills? Boss, you can't do that."
"Why?"
"Qianqian has been telling me about you. I know you are a great person. A magnanimous person would not bother to use such means."
At this point, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat relaxed. They ate dinner casually, drank beer, and chatted in a relaxed manner. The two of them seemed like long-lost old friends.
After having enough wine and food, Zhang Qilu put down his chopsticks, and Liang Liqi also put down the empty wine glass in her hand. Both of them put away their previous smiles, and Liang Liqi knew that it was time to get down to business.
"Okay, let's talk about your achievements over the years."
