Ren Ye didn't immediately leave yet as Ma Zheng issued a payment through him directly, Ma Zheng wished for him to receive the money directly instead of having to go through Gong Fan.
"You're smarter than I thought," Ren Ye remarked indifferently with a half-smile, Ma Zheng laughed sarcastically.
"Here it is," Ma Zheng extended the payment receipt to Ren Ye as Ren Ye nodded his head and accepted it.
Money doesn't matter, I have plenty of them but what I lack is a strong bodyguard. Should I offer him that position? It could be beneficial as both of us are targeted by Ye Zhihao now.
Ma Zheng thought carefully as he wanted to raise the question, Ren Ye gave him a strange look. Ma Zheng's head started throbbing.
Ren Ye could easily sense what he was thinking as he watched Ma Zheng with a funny look.
"I want to offer you a…" Ma Zheng spoke awkwardly.
"He wants to use me as bait against Ye Zhihao…"
Ren Ye's eyebrow twitched after hearing his request.
Old Yi chuckled, "After your display of knowledge, he may be intrigued by your experience. You could work here as a secret job but it depends on you."
Ren Ye nodded his head before lowering his head, he laughed to himself.
"I refused Meifan's offer but accepted her brother's, wouldn't that be a bit shameless of me?"
He didn't know if working for Ma Zheng would add more trouble for his family, he had another option.
He could use another identity and work under him while hiding himself. Currently, he could direct Ma Zheng's attention to another identity of his.
"I am afraid I would have to hold off that offer," Ren Ye carefully explained himself as he watched Ma Zheng with peering eyes, "I will contact you a couple of days later as I am not sure yet."
"I also hope you won't refuse if I offer another candidate for that role," Ren Ye attempted to divert his attention to something else as Ma Zheng appeared to be deep in his thoughts.
Ma Zheng suddenly furrowed his eyebrows quietly.
Another candidate? Wouldn't it be better for him to work directly for me? Could there be a job better than my offer?
Ma Zheng refused to accept that there are jobs better than his offer, he was a boss who was extravagant and generous with his employees.
In addition to this, he didn't want to displease Ren Ye yet so he offered to give him time; hoping he is going to take his offer.
"As long as you want, my phone is always on sound and in hand," Ma Zheng shot him a professional smile.
Ren Ye nodded his head and was about to open his mouth before he was interrupted by a knock on the door, Gong Fan gradually entered the room with squinted eyes.
He curled his lips into an indifferent smile as he greeted them quietly, "Ah, what happened here?"
"I can't believe I fell asleep all of a sudden, my old body was unable to stay on high ground for a long time. I do apologize for that."
He raised his head and looked at Ren Ye, "Did it go successfully?"
Ren Ye nodded his head and replied, "It did."
"Ah, good so where's the payment?"
"…"
Thankfully, Ma Zheng was willing to pay up. Gong Fan took out a tiny charm from his pocket and extended it toward Ma Zheng. Ren Ye diverted his attention to something else.
Ma Zheng laid his eyes on the small rock as he couldn't help but exclaim with a stunned face, "Is this a charm?"
[Correct! It is called the 'Agility' charm]
[Designed to allow one to run in super speed for 5 minutes]
"Was it refined by him?" Ma Zheng raised his head and laid his amazed eyes on Ren Ye's nonchalant face.
[Correct! It was refined by him!]
Nice! Now I really need him on my team!
His gaze turned from stunned into a hungry gaze as he watched Ren Ye as though he wanted to forcefully take him and put him in his team.
"I'm willing to purchase the charm, how much are you willing to offer him?"
Ren Ye hummed softly as he replied with a deadpan expression, "1 million."
"…"
Didn't I pay you one million just now? Why are you asking for more?
A million RMB was like a drop of water in the Ma's Family fortune, Ma Zheng used to be prodigal in the past. Therefore, 1 million was lesser than the money he spent on entertaining his friends.
Ma Zheng paid for the charm almost immediately, much to the silent shock of Ren Ye. Ren Ye initially wanted to offer it for free since Ma Zheng already sent out a payment of 1 million but since seeing he was nonchalant with his money, he risked it using his dignity.
"2 million…Am I dreaming?" Ren Ye felt he was dreaming as he shook his head, not allowing the fame and cash inside his head and corrupting him.
[Host! You've been scammed]
Ma Zheng scoffed at the system, "At least I am not spending my money on a bunch of stupid stuff. I can't believe I bought all of this old man's stuff and was unable to use them."
"Maybe this sir will be able to put them into use," Ma Zheng side-eyed Ren Ye schemingly.
Ren Ye felt the gaze burning his head as he shook his head and shrugged helplessly.
[Host has been warned beforehand but Host didn't listen]
The system sent out an emoticon of a person facepalming herself. Ma Zheng snorted as he defended himself, "You didn't help me before. I was trying to help myself by putting them in my office."
"Old Fan fooled me into buying all of them. I was not a superstitious person before."
[…]
Ren Ye and Gong Fan were led downstairs as Gong Fan tiredly hopped on the car and laid his head down, Ren Ye was pulled back by Ma Zheng.
Ma Zheng coughed lightly as he approached Ren Ye with a professional look on his face, he wanted to convince Ren Ye once more so he would be able to change his mind quickly.
"I am willing to offer you a place here. As long and whenever you want, there will be place reserved for you."
"I feel that since the both of us are targeted by the same person, why don't we stick together. After saving my sister and my office, I am offering you a high position here with a monthly income of 2 million."
Ma Zheng was extremely generous. He also wanted to have him guide him since Ren Ye knew his deepest secret. He would also help him in other matters as well.
If Ren Ye wanted, Ma Zheng could even secure him a spot in high society.
Unfortunately, Ren Ye wasn't uninterested in the indulgent lives of the rich nor did he want to become ridiculously rich. He only wanted enough money to sustain his life and give his daughter a good life.
After all, entering such a society was risking his daughter's future.
He doesn't want rich ugly bastards chasing his daughter.
"…"
"You are too generous, Mister CEO," Ren Ye chuckled mockingly, "Wouldn't it ruin your chance of finding a better person if you choose to hire me?"
"No, no. You are perfect for the job," Ma Zheng replied with a friendly smile.
"As perfect as I am, I don't think having two people targeted by another person in one place is a good idea," Ren Ye explained himself as Ma Zheng realized the problem.
He is correct, wouldn't that make it easier for Ye Zhihao to take both of us down? I don't doubt that he's a fellow transmigrator but why don't I send him to another company of my father's?
"But if you are so determined with choosing me, I can only recommend another person," Ren Ye curled his lips into an indifferent smile.
"He is well-trained and experienced like me. You don't have to worry about being dissatisfied with my recommendation."
Ma Zheng nodded his head reluctantly.
[Host! Don't worry!]
[His candidate is extremely good!]
"Since you also have confidence in him then I will take his offer," Ma Zheng sighed with regret, "If his candidate doesn't work out, I could just fire him…"
What he didn't know was that the recommender and his candidate was the same person except the both of them had different appearance.
Ren Ye was driven by Driver Yan as Gong Fan adjusted his seat and gazed at him with a solemn expression.
"I just contacted Wensen Market."
"They said they were planning to harvest the ginseng. How many do you want?"
"Three roots and delivery by air please," Ren Ye replied coldly.
Gong Fan nodded his head, "32K."
Ren Ye nodded his head and didn't pay him the amount yet, he wanted to buy potion bottles and a couple of shards.
"I also want three potion bottles and six shards."
He remembered he had used up all of his Ice Entrancing Potion, he may need to extract it from himself now in order to advance.
[Store]
"I wonder what they have in sale?" Ren Ye was interested.
Old Yi rubbed his chin as he replied in an amused tone, "Anything you want."
"Most of them are taken out from the black market, they even sell a deity's kidneys and livers."
"…"
There were a lot of categories, and all of them cost more than 1 million. Ren Ye had ten million system coins, he planned to buy two techniques.
