Song Xiaoru opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Alright, let's do it this way. If you need anything in life or work, you can tell me." Song Xiaodong said to Kong Siman.

"For now, there's nothing I need."

"Hmm, you did very well today. Is there anything you want or something you wish to do? See if there's anything I can help with as my reward to you today." Song Xiaodong asked Kong Siman.

"Mr. Song, the thing I want to do, you definitely won't help with." Kong Siman's words to Song Xiaodong seemed to have another layer of meaning.

In Kong Siman's heart, there was only Wang Gang as her master, and now her master was in the late stages of liver cancer. Kong Siman hoped Song Xiaodong could treat Wang Gang, but Song Xiaodong clearly stated that if he were to treat the illness, something that could be held in hand had to be shown.

"Miss Kong, life and death are determined by fate. I'm a physician, not a god. Your master's illness is terminal; no matter how good my medical skill is, it's beyond help." Song Xiaodong said solemnly to Kong Siman.

"I understand. Does the Family Head have any other instructions?" Kong Siman asked Song Xiaodong.

"No more."

"If nothing else, Family Head, I'll take my leave."

"Alright."

Kong Siman then went downstairs and left the Su Family Courtyard.

After Kong Siman left, Song Xiaodong and his wives continued discussing her.

"Hmph, I said you bringing her here surely had hidden motives. But you're too impatient, having her move into the Su Family Courtyard the second day. Aren't you afraid she'll be scared away?" Miao Qingqing asked Song Xiaodong.

"I had her live in the Su Family Courtyard for convenience in work." Song Xiaodong defended himself.

"What work is so important that she has to live in the courtyard?" Miao Qingqing asked.

"Xiaoliu isn't here, many things in the courtyard are left unattended, and there's no one to handle things. The courtyard needs a steward, someone who frequently deals with others in business." Song Xiaodong said to Miao Qingqing.

"Really interesting, each person in our family is a businessperson, who isn't a big boss? Why insist on finding an outsider?" Miao Qingqing asked.

"Because she's highly capable. She's been at Su Family Courtyard for just two days and saved me a full two million!" Song Xiaodong said to Miao Qingqing, holding up two fingers.

"Really, does this Miss Kong have such ability?" Miao Qingqing said in surprise.

"What do you think? Can ordinary people be around the Deputy Commander?" Song Xiaodong said.

"You really have some vision. It seems this Miss Kong isn't just a pretty face; she's truly a talented woman."

"Indeed…"

"But you aren't allowed to hit on her! Be careful of someone who might gut themselves at any moment. If she takes a knife to her own body, that's one thing, but if she gets jealous and stabs you or us, that's terrifying!" Miao Qingqing said to Song Xiaodong.

"You're overthinking. Would someone capable of saving me two million do something so foolish? That time, she had no choice, and she's truly loyal to Wang Gang. I hope those under me can be like her—grateful, daring, bold, loyal and righteous. I appreciate not just her talent and ability, but her character and values as well." Song Xiaodong said earnestly to Miao Qingqing.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending to be proper. Sooner or later, you'll end up taking her to bed." Miao Qingqing gave Song Xiaodong a side glance.

"That's all for the future, who can say for sure?"

"Pah! Shameless!"

Miss Zhang, Jin Haicheng's agent, received another call after signing a celebrity endorsement deal with Kong Siman.

"Hello? Is this Miss Zhang, may I ask?"

"Yes, it's me. And you are?"

"Hello, my surname is He. I'd like to discuss with Miss Zhang about hiring Miss Jin Haicheng for a product endorsement."

"Oh, may I ask what kind of product?" Miss Zhang asked.

"Our product is called Cool Refreshing Herbal Tea."

"Oh… You're a big brand! I remember your products used to have Zhao Bingbing as an endorser. Why consider our artist this time?" Miss Zhang asked over the phone.

"Because Miss Jin has indeed been quite popular lately, with ads everywhere. You can see her everywhere, and we at Cool Refreshing Herbal Tea don't want to miss out on the excitement."

"If that's the case, if you're sincere, we can arrange a time to meet and discuss in detail."

"Of course."

The one arranging to meet with Miss Zhang was none other than He Guangyi, who Lu Yao and Zhang Yanran had met in Beijing.

The two arranged to meet at a café.

"Hello, Miss Zhang." He Guangyi extended his hand to Miss Zhang.

"Hello, Mr. He." The two shook hands.

"Cool Refreshing Herbal Tea is a very well-known iced tea brand, and personally, I like it very much." Miss Zhang said to Mr. He.

"Ha ha ha ha, Miss Zhang, your artist is very popular lately, but our Cool Refreshing Herbal Tea is a very well-known herbal tea brand. A hot product paired with a hot female star is truly a perfect match." Mr. He said to Miss Zhang.

"Mr. He, if you are truly sincere, I believe this will be a very pleasant cooperation." Miss Zhang said.

"We certainly have the sincerity to cooperate, but we also have our conditions." He Guangyi said to Miss Zhang.

"I wonder what kind of conditions?" Upon hearing conditions, Miss Zhang's face immediately turned serious.
