Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Young Master Gu, Does Your Family Need a Dog?

Half an hour later, Jiang Li pushed open the door and walked out.

"Do you know, who wants to come with me?"

Everyone hurriedly surrounded her, relieved to see that Jiang Li showed no abnormalities.

Bai Lu was the first to raise her hand, "Me, me, me, I want to go!"

Shang Shuyue quickly pushed her down, "Can you guarantee that you won’t be caught by Ji Yanbai and then used to threaten Jiang Li? Let’s forget it and just wait here for their return."

Saying this, she scanned the crowd.

Yu Li loved cleanliness too much. A sprinkle of dirt on him and he would be passed over immediately, unfit for the job.

Jiang Cheng might have been suitable, but now with a lame leg, he wasn’t fit either.

Jiang Yan... even less suitable.

"How about if Gu Yu and Pei Ye go together, it seems very safe."

[Hahahaha, the strongest trio has been chosen.]

[I’m dying of laughter, those three are the weakest, hahaha.]

[I’m cracking up, Shang Shuyue’s head shook several times.]

Zhao Lang had originally wanted to nominate himself, but hearing this conversation, he raised an eyebrow and promptly stood behind Jiang Li.

"I think this suggestion is good."

Then he glanced at Pei Ye, "But it’s not great to leave you guys here either, what if Ji Yanbai comes back for round two? Let Pei Ye stay here to protect you, Jiang Li and I will go."

Pei Ye: "......" Are you really wanting me to stay here to protect them?

"No way!" Jiang Cheng raised his crutch in protest, "You cannot go together!"

Jiang Yan at first didn’t react, but after being shouted at by Jiang Cheng, he quickly agreed, "Right, no way, you can’t go together!"

"Why not?" Zhao Lang and the others asked in unison.

"Because—" Jiang Cheng was just about to come up with some random accusation against Zhao Lang, but suddenly found he couldn’t make a sound, nor could he even open his mouth.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lang had placed his hand on his shoulder, "Little brother, I know you’re worried about your sister, but rest assured, I am here, and nothing will happen to her."

Jiang Cheng stared straight into the other’s smiling eyes.

Although he couldn’t find any evidence.

But he knew his inability to speak had to be related to this guy!

Jiang Cheng was speaking halfway, making Jiang Yan on the side very anxious.

He knew Jiang Cheng was younger than him. Jiang Li had always been very tolerant of younger people, which is why he had gone along with him.

But why had he suddenly shut up halfway through, even hugging and embracing that pretty boy?

"Hey, because of what, you were going to say!"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and then nodded, but refused to say a word.

Jiang Li’s patience was clearly running thin, "Don’t waste time, Mr. Gu, I’ll trouble you to come with me again."

She didn’t mind who accompanied her, but someone who could actually help was better.

Zhao Lang was both helpful and not annoying, and even someone she could chat with, she liked the idea of him following.

Too bad their current statuses were different, otherwise she would have really considered paying a hefty sum to have him come over as her own assistant.

Thinking of this, Assistant He by his side was truly excellent.

Capable and humble, he was a paragon among personal aides.

Back in Daqi, in the Marquis Mansion, they had someone as outstanding as He Pingzhang. He was the head steward there, from her grandfather, the Old Marquis, down to her, the young miss, everyone was extremely satisfied with him. She had also been much more efficient thanks to such an assistant.

A good head steward plays a pivotal role in a large family, often yielding twice the result with half the effort.

She had been back for quite some time now and had yet to find a satisfactory assistant; the servants at home were also unusable.

But He Pingzhang was different.

He excelled at everything, almost identical to their previous steward.

If she got along well with her current boss, maybe it would be easier to poach him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Li rarely squeezed out a brilliant smile towards Zhao Lang, "It’s you, come with me."

Suddenly fed sugar, Zhao Lang: !

Is she in such a good mood today?

So, he quickly let go of Jiang Cheng and followed her.

[Isn’t it, do I really doubt this brother is the grandson of the richest man? Why does he do whatever Jiang Li asks?]

[Finally, someone voiced what’s on my mind. The Crown Prince has such a good temper?]

[???Is my information wrong? Didn’t I hear from a good sister that Young Master Gu came back this time and gave the family business a thorough overhaul, not even sparing his own aunt?]

[My gosh, to be able to dig up this info, you’re not an ordinary person, right? Miss, please accept my deepest bow!]

Zhao Lang, who had glanced away from those light bulbs, felt completely relaxed in body and mind.

And, as if to confirm his speculation, Jiang Li, who normally didn’t chat with him much, seemed to have much more to say today.

"What are your plans for this trip back to the country?"

Zhao Lang propped his head with both hands, thought carefully for a moment, then looked at her sideways with a smile, "Plan? Indeed, I do have one, and half of it is already realized."

Jiang Li nodded, "Then are you very busy right now?"

Zhao Lang’s brow twitched.

Is she... asking him out?!

"Not busy, not busy at all."

Jiang Li let out a sigh of relief.

Not being busy meant that there was little need for He Pingzhang’s assistance; her chances of poaching were probably even greater.

"It’s good if you’re not busy—"

Zhao Lang was still secretly delighted by her words when the next second he heard Jiang Li continue—

"Is Assistant He busy?"

Zhao Lang: ?

What does whether he’s busy or not have to do with him?

But he instinctively answered, "Quite busy, I guess."

After all, He Pingzhang was the Old Marquis’s special assistant, now basically his too, having to help with family affairs and even getting tricked into taking on the role of a director. How could he not be busy?

"I see." Jiang Li nodded again, "So, how much is his salary a month?"

She was already calculating in her mind while asking the question.

For someone like He Pingzhang, salary wasn’t the highest need. The respect and resources the Gu Family could give him were unmatched by others.

So, if the soft approach didn’t work, she would have to beef up the hard offer.

If the Gu Family gave him three hundred thousand a month, then she would offer five hundred thousand. At worst, she could work harder, take on more private jobs, and maintaining a satisfactory assistant should be no problem.

Zhao Lang grew even more puzzled.

Why would Jiang Li suddenly ask about He Pingzhang’s salary out of the blue?

Wait, isn’t she indirectly inquiring about his own assets? So she had actually considered this aspect!

Thinking about it, Zhao Lang coughed and said, "Assistant He’s salary? That certainly won’t be low. A month has to be at least eight hundred thousand, I guess."

[????Young Master Gu, what?!]

[??Did I hear that wrong? Director He’s monthly salary is actually more valuable than my life!]

[Wuwuwu, Young Master Gu, does your family still need a dog? I promise I can bark louder than any other dog!]

In the director’s room, He Pingzhang: ?

Since when did he get an extra five hundred thousand on his salary for no reason?
