Chapter 106 This marriage can’t be concluded
This marriage won't end.
"Qiankun, this trip is over, and it's time for me to return to the mountain." Zhang Zhiwei stood in the night, his Taoist robe swaying gently in the wind, a faint smile flashing in his eyes, as if he was no longer bothered by the troubles of the world.
Li Qiankun felt a mixture of emotions upon hearing this. He knew that being able to fight alongside the old Heavenly Master was a rare experience in his life. But thinking of the troubles he was about to face, he couldn't help but frown. "Heavenly Master, what about the reward..."
"Haha, you don't have to worry, just go find Feng Zhenghao. He will give you a satisfactory answer." Zhang Zhiwei smiled heartily, as if he had already made up his mind about everything.
Li Qiankun smiled bitterly, muttering to himself, "A satisfactory answer? I'm afraid he wants me to be his son-in-law." But facing the old Taoist priest, he couldn't say anything more, so he just agreed, "Yes, Taoist priest, I will definitely visit you when I have time. Let's have tea together."
Just as Li Qiankun was about to leave, several senior executives from Nadutong suddenly stopped him. Their faces were serious, as if they had something important to discuss.
"Li Qiankun, we have a few words to say to you." A middle-aged man in the lead spoke with unquestionable majesty in his tone.
Li Qiankun's heart trembled. He knew that Nadutong, as the administrative agency of the alien world, had a power that could not be underestimated. So, he nodded, signaling the other party to continue.
"Recently, some problems have arisen with our temporary workers, and the situation is rather complicated. We hope you can lend a hand." There was a hint of pleading in the middle-aged man's words.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun pondered. He was no saint, and he always prioritized profit over loss. So, he smiled and said, "I'm certainly familiar with Nadutong's name, but I always set a price. Can you offer me a reasonable price?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. "This isn't the place to talk. How about we find a place to talk in detail?"
Li Qiankun shook his head and refused, "No need. I just want to go back and have a good sleep. I've been following the old Tianshi to suppress Quan Xing these past few days, and I'm exhausted. How about this, I'll come to you in a couple of days, and we can discuss the price then."
After saying this, Li Qiankun turned and left without saying anything more. Several of Nadutong's senior executives exchanged a glance, a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes, but they didn't try to persuade him to stay.
On the way back to school, Li Qiankun was in a very complicated mood. He had to consider how to respond to Nadutong's invitation, and was also worried about the upcoming "negotiation" with Feng Zhenghao.
"That old guy Feng Zhenghao has always wanted to marry his daughter to me. But I'm still young and don't want to be tied down by marriage so early." Li Qiankun muttered to himself, his face full of helplessness.
Thinking of Feng Zhenghao's "enthusiasm" gave him a headache. But then he thought that the reward for this roundup of Quan Xing might allow him to gain some initiative in his "contest" with Feng Zhenghao. So, he secretly made up his mind to get enough reward from Feng Zhenghao in exchange for his freedom.
Back at school, Li Qiankun stopped thinking about his worries. He took a shower, lay down on his bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep. This time, he slept exceptionally soundly, as if all his fatigue had been forgotten.
Two days later, Li Qiankun's mental state had recovered considerably. He remembered his agreement with Nadutong and decided to go talk to them first. But before that, he had to resolve the "remuneration" issue with Feng Zhenghao.
So, he called Feng Zhenghao. On the other end of the line, Feng Zhenghao's voice was still enthusiastic: "Qiankun, you finally took the initiative to contact me. How is it? What are your thoughts?"
Li Qiankun gave a bitter smile and said, "Uncle Feng, let's settle the issue of the reward first. I contributed a lot to the encirclement and suppression of Quan Xing this time."
Feng Zhenghao laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Don't worry, I, Feng Zhenghao, always keep my word. As for the reward, of course you won't be shortchanged. However, you have to come to my house first. How about we have a face-to-face meeting?"
Li Qiankun knew that this was an unavoidable battle, so he nodded and agreed.
Arriving at Feng's house, Li Qiankun was welcomed into the living room. Feng Zhenghao had been waiting there for a long time, and sitting next to him was a young and beautiful woman - Feng Zhenghao's daughter Feng Shayan.
As soon as Li Qiankun entered the room, Feng Shayan greeted him warmly: "Qiankun, long time no see."
Li Qiankun smiled awkwardly, muttering to himself, "This Feng family father and daughter really have a tacit understanding."
Feng Zhenghao saw this and a smile flashed in his eyes. He patted Li Qiankun on the shoulder and said, "Qiankun, you've made a great contribution this time. I've already prepared the reward. However, before I give it to you, I want to discuss another matter with you."
Li Qiankun's heart tightened, knowing what Feng Zhenghao was about to say. So, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Oh? What does Uncle Feng want to talk to me about?"
Feng Zhenghao smiled slightly and said, "I want you to get engaged to Sha Yan. What do you think?"
Li Qiankun almost spit out a mouthful of water when he heard this. He quickly waved his hand and refused: "Uncle Feng, this is impossible. I am still young and don't want to be tied down by marriage so early."
Feng Zhenghao seemed to have expected him to say this, so he was not in a hurry: "Qiankun, don't rush to refuse. Think about it, marrying into our Feng family will only benefit you. Besides, you know Shayan, she is deeply in love with you."
Hearing this, Li Qiankun felt even more helpless. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he could only deal with it for the time being: "Uncle Feng, let me think about this matter again. I have other things to deal with now."
Seeing this, Feng Zhenghao didn't want to force it any further. So, he nodded and said, "Okay, then you can take care of your affairs first. But you must remember that the door of our Feng family is always open to you."
Li Qiankun gave a perfunctory smile, but secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I've finally escaped this disaster for the time being." After leaving the Feng family, Li Qiankun went straight to the headquarters of Nadutong. He knew that his cooperation with Nadutong had just begun.
After arriving at Nadutong, he was taken into a conference room where several senior executives of Nadutong had been waiting for a long time.
"Li Qiankun, you're here." The middle-aged man in the lead stood up and shook hands with him.
Li Qiankun nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here. Let's talk about the reward."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he heard this: "No hurry, no hurry, let's talk about the specific content of the cooperation first."
