I Gave Birth to a Cub without Telling the Head Assistant - Chapter 17.1

Chapter 17.1

“Master Wang, is this okay?”

‘She is so focused on gains and losses; how could she do something that would not be beneficial? Suddenly, you took the initiative to show kindness to me? It turned out that she actually wanted to hire me as a teacher?’ Li Zhulin’s intuition was correct.

Looking at her pitiful, wet eyes, Li Zhulin moved his arm, pulled out the half-sleeve corner from her fingertips, and said coldly and ruthlessly, “No.”

Teachers and elders should be honoured with a ceremony where people kneel and worship them and are given food and offerings.

In the Qi Dynasty, to become a disciple, you had to pass difficult tests and be screened at all levels.

For instance, Mr. Zhou Ge didn’t have the time and patience to teach everyone and only a handful of people in the world could truly be called his disciples and have had tea with him.

Finding the right people to join the group was important, but even more important was making sure everyone’s goals and benefits were aligned. The players were determined to win or lose together, so they joined hands to help each other on the court and have the same opponent.

Even if Li Zhulin wanted to accept a disciple, he must accept a disciple who had a noble family background or had military power. 

‘Why should I teach a businessman? However, this businesswoman didn’t realise how important I am, so she just thought of me as a regular teacher.’

After being told no, her eyes got bigger, but she didn’t stop and ask, “Why?” Ruan Longling tried to persuade. “Master Wang, don’t worry about your academic remuneration. I will pay you the highest price on the market.”

‘It’s money once more.’ Li Zhulin felt annoyed. ‘Can’t she understand? Not everything in the world can be fixed just by using money. When compared to those in power, the Ruan family’s money is not important at all.’

Li Zhulin tapped the table with impatience and said no in a cold voice. His fingertips were clear and stretched out. “It’s trouble.”

Logically speaking, after being rejected twice in a row, ordinary people would completely give up on this idea, right? But who was Ruan Longling? She didn’t give up, quickly waved her hand, and said, “It’s not a problem. My brother, Chengfeng, is a humble person who can handle tough times. Even the oldest person in the group said he was talented and smart. He can reveal everything at once and will never let the prince spend any effort! Master Wang only needs to spend one or two cups of tea every day to give guidance.”

 ‘Does this businesswoman not understand the word “no”?’

When he was in Jinluan Hall, just one word of unhappiness could make all the government officials shake and fall to the ground. How come this deterrent didn’t stop her at all?

Li Zhulin shook his head and was going to make it clear: “I don’t want to take on a student.”

But he was interrupted by her dense words.

“It’s fine. Young Master Wang is feeling anxious because he has never met Chengfeng before. Chengfeng will return tomorrow. Why don’t you consider it after meeting the person in real life?”

“Hey, don’t talk about this anymore.”

Maybe because she saw that he was not happy, the beautiful lady stopped talking about it and chose a different topic at the right moment.

The woman stood up, and her skirts fell off the chair and spread out everywhere. She turned around easily, and the fabric made a perfect circle around her waist.

She opened the food box that was next to her. 

When she lifted the lid, a delicious smell came out and spread through the room.

“I forgot that Mr. Wang has not eaten yet; why not eat something first? This lotus root, white jade vegetable, and dragon bone soup is the most refreshing and nourishing for the stomach. I think Mr. Wang will definitely know it after drinking it.”

Then she neatly took out the clay pot soup cup from the food box, scooped the soup, and took the spoon, all at once, and handed the bowl directly to him with a bright smile, although the word “no” had been written on his face.

‘Did I say I wanted to have her soup?’

Although Ruan Longling was a businesswoman, when the two of them interacted before, she was polite and well-behaved.

‘When did she become so foolish? Maybe it is because the established sense of boundary and order was forcibly broken.’

Li Zhulin looked even more upset, and because he was feeling annoyed, he started to scold her for acting without thinking. “I really don’t have the luxury to enjoy it. Well…”

Out of nowhere, when he started talking, she took a spoon, filled it with soup, and fed it to him. “You don’t have to be polite to me, young master.”

‘Presumptuous!’

Have a nice day!
