Congratulations, But I'm Broke

Jiang Yule had always had a good impression of kind and straightforward people. She immediately returned the smile. "There's no need for that. Please remain seated."

Hearing her say this, the man still felt a little embarrassed. However, other than where he was, the seats everywhere else were filled with people, and those people sat away from him to avoid him in the first place. There was nowhere else he could go.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yule took the initiative to ask him with a friendly attitude.

Seeing that she had spoken to him first, the man slowly sighed in relief. He had been worried about what she thought of him. Unlike the others, he did not know who Jiang Yule was. He had only thought of her as a kind and beautiful woman.

"I'm here to look for the manager of the Li Corporation's animal husbandry department. I have a problem that I need help with."

The Li Corporation had set up businesses all over the world, and they were involved in every industry one could name. The corporation, which was one of the pillars of the global economy, was not to be taken lightly.

Jiang Yule was not surprised to hear that his business had to do with animals. She had deduced at first glance that this man must have been a pig farmer.

"Does the Li Corporation also have a animal husbandry department? Why do you need to their help?" Jiang Yule pretended not to know.

The man grabbed his hair, and his tired face looked a little frustrated. "Sigh, I'm not going to hide it from you. I have dozens of pigs at home that I raise to make a living from. But something went wrong recently. More than ten pigs suddenly died within a week, and I have no idea what happened. If things continue this way, I won't be able to support my family."

Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. "My son had just started kindergarten, and my wife's constitution is not good, to the point where she has to take medication often. My parents even had to use their life savings to move to the capital with me to help me so that we don't go into debt."

It was not easy to find someone who was willing to listen to him. The man said everything on his mind, and after he was finished, he felt that he had overstepped his boundaries and wiped the tears from his face. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you so much."

Jiang Yule dismissed his concerns. "It's okay."

'So, more than a dozen pigs died in a week…'

Previously, when she was researching the livestock industry in this world, she had discovered a strange issue. There was no such thing as swine fever here. It was not until just then that she realized that the virus simply had not been discovered yet.

Just as she was deep in thought, a man in a suit and sunglasses walked over. "Madam Li, what's the matter?"

Wu Bing, who was afraid of offending Master Li, had sent Yang Chen down in his place. 'I am a bodyguard, so why should I be doing Wu Bing's job?'

Seeing Yang Chen come for her, the man lowered his head again. Jiang Yule stood up and walked over.

Yang Chen frowned under his sunglasses. "In case you have forgotten, Master Li had specifically told you to—"

"I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for you." Jiang Yule raised her hand and interrupted him.

Yang Chen frowned under his sunglasses. "Madam Li, my wife and I are getting married this year."

Jiang Yule nodded nonchalantly. "Congratulations, but I'm broke. You can get your wedding gift from Master Li."

Yang Chen had known that she was a two-faced woman who acted nicely in front of her husband compared to others, but it seemed that the contrast has become more obvious recently.

Jiang Yule did not feel like making things difficult for him and went straight to the point, "Give me back my car keys." If she did not ask, she was sure Yang Chen would never give her dark knight back. Without it, she had to ask Uncle Zhang to take her wherever she needed to go, which was too troublesome.

Yang Chen quickly took out the keys from his pocket and handed them to her. "Your car has been parked in the underground garage."

Jiang Yule nodded indifferently. Before she left, she pointed at the man who had just chatted with her and said, "Give this man a glass of water. Then, get the manager of the animal husbandry department to meet him."

Yang Chen did not plan to listen to her when it came to the corporation's businesses.

Jiang Yule smiled and threatened, "If you won't do it, I'll go bother Li Xingyi about it instead."

Yang Chen immediately changed his mind and went to get the man a drink as Jiang Yule and the man told each other their names. By the time he returned, Jiang Yule had already left. However, Yang Chen still followed what she told him to do.

Yang Chen took a deep breath as he walked into the elevator with the incredulous and pleasantly surprised man. 'My goodness, I'm just an ordinary bodyguard! Why does this always happen to me?!'

Some people realized that the silent man in the suit was Li Xingyi's bodyguard and immediately regretted not treating Jiang Yule better. After all, the man who had voiced his troubles to Jiang Yule earlier was immediately getting the meeting that he wanted. Even the receptionist, who had witnessed the entire process, felt a little scared that she had angered the wrong person and was glad that she had actually gone to pass on Jiang Yule's message.

'Why do CEO Li's men suddenly listen to Jiang Yule?'

After Yang Chen brought the man to the animal husbandry department, he returned to Li Xingyi's side at the top floor. Seeing him return, Li Xingyi looked up and asked, "Where did you go?"
