Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

Li Jinglong wanted to take in an apprentice, and the news immediately spread in the border village. Such a big event in such a small place would naturally be very eye-catching. What's more, the apprentice Li Jinglong wanted to take in was a while ago Lin Shu, who was almost killed by people because of his sophistication, made people even more imaginative.

Of course, people are spreading nonsense about accepting apprentices. The official statement should be disciples in the admission room, that is, students who have been passed on in person. Professor, so his students are not disciples, nor are they people in the world.

It's just that this student became an apprentice after being publicized by the wilderness people in the border village and those who came to the border village, and Li Jinglong also became the big boss of the border village.

Li Jinglong specially chose an easy-to-remember day like the first day of December, which happened to be a rest day, and invited prominent figures from the border village to his home, and held a simple but grand apprenticeship ceremony.

In fact, Lin Shu offered traditional bacon and other apprenticeship ceremonies, and then bowed to Li Jinglong. Under the witness of everyone, the apprenticeship was completed, and then Li Jinglong entertained everyone for a buffet and took everyone for a tour. His laboratory and the pond of the mutated dark vanilla being cultivated, the apprenticeship ceremony is considered complete.

In the evening, Lin Shu stayed at Li Jinglong's house for dinner.

Lin Shu's hair has just grown a little, and he looks like an adventurer, with a clean and strong aura on his body. Kong Zhexu is sitting on the side of Lin Shu, staring at Li Xiaoxin who is opposite , and Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong who were sitting next to Li Xiaoxin with extremely intimate expressions, Lin Xiaoyong's eyes were fixed on the delicious food on the table.

Li Jinglong glanced at it as if he was very satisfied. Old people like to be lively, especially like the laughter of children on the dining table. Therefore, Li Jinglong made a suggestion that he thought was great.

"Lin Shu, you can actually move here, it's much more convenient and safe!"

As soon as Li Jinglong's words came out of his mouth, he was immediately met with two firm objections.

"no!"

Kong Zhexu and Li Xiaoxin, who spoke at the same time, glanced at each other. Kong Zhexu's eyes were full of smug smiles, while Li Xiaoxin was a little ashamed, and looked at the surprised Lin Xiaomei beside him in embarrassment. Lin Xiaomei's hands had already been stretched out, obviously Those who were about to applaud and cheer, but who knew that the elder sister she was looking forward to rejected in one gulp. Lin Xiaomei was a little dumbfounded immediately, and the tears in her eyes began to ripple, and Li Xiaoxin panicked.

"Why?" Li Jinglong didn't use his own authority to press hard, but asked a little strangely. Kong Zhexu understood Li Jinglong's objection and didn't take it seriously, but Li Xiaoxin had to take it seriously when he objected. I really like Lin Xiaomei!

"That..." Li Xiaoxin was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say. I couldn't say that I only wanted Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong to live in. As for Lin Shu, I didn't know what to say to Grandpa. What kind of potion was fed, and he was actually accepted as a house disciple. Although this kind of person is smart, it's just that he doesn't use his ideas. He always thinks about how to cling to the powerful. Li Xiaoxin really hates Lin Shu.

But these words couldn't be said, Lin Xiaomei was sad for a while, and gradually put away the pain in her heart, even if sister Li Xiaoxin liked her, but she just liked her, she was not a family, she thought too much, There are too many extravagant expectations, as my brother said, people are always dissatisfied, in fact, my sister should be very satisfied with herself like this, it must be greedy to ask too much, greed is not good!

Lin Shu quietly watched the change in Lin Xiaomei's expression, then raised the corners of his mouth in relief, and then looked at Lin Xiaoyong, as expected, Lin Xiaoyong looked indifferent, but looked at the delicious food on the table with some regret Lin Shu smiled.

When Kong Zhexu saw that Li Xiaoxin couldn't tell the reason, he immediately patted his horse and came to rescue him: "Mr. Li, Xiaoxin must be worried about the gossip of outsiders. Besides, there are already a lot of gossip outside now, and there are all kinds of gossip. It's very ugly. Lin Shu, you don't want to be said to be clinging to the powerful?"

Lin Shu shrugged his shoulders: "I don't care, but I think it's better to live in my own home. It's always a bit uncomfortable to live under the fence. Besides, my home is not far from here. It's a matter of walking a few steps. As for safety? Yes, I don't think there will be anyone who doesn't give face to the teacher now, if it is really so, even if I live here, there will always be time to go out, safety and so on will make no difference."

Li Xiaoxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lin Xiaomei apologetically, but Lin Xiaomei put on a smiling face and shook her head slightly at her, Li Xiaoxin felt sour, what a good child!How did I think about it just now! ?Why would it hurt the child's heart?It's all Lin Shu's fault, Li Xiaoxin glanced at Lin Shu bitterly, Lin Shu couldn't figure it out, but he was helping her, why was he still hated, he was shot while lying down!

Li Jinglong's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and took everyone's expressions into his eyes. Although he was a little disappointed, the old man was patient. We will talk about this later. Anyway, let's find a way to make Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong come here more often. For dinner, assign more study and work tasks to Lin Shu, so that he has no time to go back to cook, and then...

Li Jinglong smiled complacently, and shook his head indifferently: "Okay, let's talk about it, eat first, Xiaoyong, little sister, eat, eat more, grow your body!"

"Eh!"

"Thank you grandpa!"

..........................................

The third floor of Yejiadian is not only Ye Zhangxian's office, but also her residence. Her room is on the side of the office, at the southeast corner. The southeast and southeast sides of this room are covered with transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, with a very good view After turning off the magic lamp at night, it is also a great enjoyment to sit in front of the window, drink tea and watch the moon.

But today she didn't enjoy it, but was discussing important matters with Shopkeeper Xiaoye sitting on the chair next to her.

"Miss San, there is news from home that the market share of several other competitors is close to 35%, and ours is less than [-]%, which is already a bit behind!"

Ye Zhangxian was holding the teacup in his hand, playing with it silently, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shopkeeper Xiaoye’s words contained a lot of information. First, Ye Zhangxian was a participant in a certain competition, and the competition was determined by market share; second, Ye Zhangxian had more than one opponent. And it seems that Ye Zhang is now behind.

"Actually, this heir competition is very boring, especially in terms of ideas. Why can't we keep pace with the times?"

Ye Zhangxian's voice sounded faintly, with some helplessness and loneliness in his tone.

"Miss San, this rule was established thousands of years ago. Who has the power to change it? Unless our Ye family produces a great genius, it will definitely not work."

"Hehe, yes. Market share? Huh, they all know the consequences of excessive market share, but they want to use this project to compete. Could it be... what else is in it? I can't make any sense."

Shopkeeper Xiaoye nodded with a smile and said: "The master also mentioned this matter when he was alive, and the master guessed that this rule may not allow you to occupy as much market share as possible, but to establish the best reputation in the local area. , and can be mutually tolerant with various complex local forces, so the places selected for the test are very complicated, and the postgraduate entrance examination takes up to three years. If the market share is too offending, such a long time will definitely happen What, this will also affect the final result."

"So that's how it is!" Ye Zhangxian carefully savored the words of his father told by Shopkeeper Xiaoye. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. Wrong, in the future the helm of the Ye Family will not only be able to do business, but also learn to balance the forces of all parties, and also...

"So Miss San doesn't have to be nervous, just do the current thing well step by step. If you can take the lead in Professor Li's research project, your chances of winning will be greatly increased!"

"Unfortunately, that kid Lin Shu suddenly turned into Teacher Li's student. Teacher Li also wanted to protect Lin Shu. I really don't understand what Mr. Li is interested in Lin Shu. That kid is cunning and philistine."

"Hehe, he may have made full use of Li Jinglong's guilt. After all, it can be said that Lin Shu's disaster was caused by Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong is a very simple person, so he would feel ashamed. The mutated dark vanilla was of great help to him, but he almost killed Lin Shu's family of three. Therefore, some compensation and expressions are affirmative. But most of these are only formal, although Lin Shu is very Some are clever, but the level of knowledge is too low, I really don't know that this guy came out of that valley!"

Ye Zhang thought about it for a while, and the shopkeeper Xiaoye's statement also made some sense: "Uncle Lan, do you think I can continue to use money to buy Lin Shu? It would be a pity if I lost this line, especially the news from Lin Shu now The value could be higher."

"Well, you can continue to try. This brat couldn't move his eyes when he saw Miss San. Maybe we don't even have to pay gold coins, haha."

Ye Zhangxuan's face was a little shy, but also a little proud: "Uncle Lan just joked, so I'll keep trying, hoping to get enough rewards from him."

"Also, has the investigation of the last assassination reached any conclusions?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether there is one or not. Anyway, it's either the Yang family or the guild. It happens that we can benefit from it. It seems that our strategy of deliberately getting close to the Yang family is correct. The guild's attitude towards us has indeed begun to change."

"Miss San has always been the smartest, so you should firmly believe in your own judgment!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lan. This is all thanks to Uncle Lan's teaching and care. Without Uncle Lan, Zhang Xian would not be today."

"Third Miss, don't say that. If it wasn't for the master, I would have been a bone in the wilderness. I watched the third lady and the second young master grow up. If I don't take care of you, who else will I take care of?"

Ye Zhangyuan turned his head to look at the newborn Hongyue, wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, and did not speak.
