Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 150: Become a matchmaker and build bridges

However, the most important thing for Li Yu at the moment is to resolve some of Ding Yumian’s misconceptions about being a top student.

For example...

"Senior, is there a possibility..."

Li Yu explained carefully:
"Butler Chen meant that any junior pharmacist would be fine. The reliability he mentioned is actually based on strength and character, not the pharmacist's level."

Ding Yumian frowned slightly and retorted:
"But isn't Butler Chen's request for a pharmaceutical R&D department? It wouldn't be good if the pharmacist's level is too low."

"Senior, this is the situation."

Li Yu suddenly realized the information gap between himself and Ding Yumian, and hurriedly explained.

The main products of the current Jianfeng Group are healing potions and physical recovery potions. Other products are not much different from similar products on the market. The so-called drug research and development department is just an empty shell for the Jianfeng Group. The real exclusive drug formulas all come from Shiliang.

The real purpose of this department is to serve as a cover-up and to mix sand into Shi Liang's medicine formula, ensuring that the medicine's effect remains unchanged while adding a large amount of useless drugs to prevent other forces from stealing and cracking the formula.

Of course, it would be best if we could produce some medicines that meet market demand, but if not, we won’t force it.

However, as a department head, he is naturally different from other staff members. He has mastered the true formula of Shiliang Medicine. The most important quality of him is not his professional level, but his ability to keep secrets and ensure that no one can easily take advantage of him.

"The reason why I recommended Senior Huang to take the position is mainly because she is honest, safe and reliable."

"So, Senior Sister, instead of letting Senior Sister Huang spend time and effort learning about potions, it would be more cost-effective for her to practice hard and increase her strength as quickly as possible."

"I see. It seems I misunderstood at first."

Ding Yumian suddenly realized and then became full of confidence. In two years, she could train Huang Xingli, not to mention a mid-level magician, even a boy, into a junior pharmacist.

"But doesn't the Shi family have any trusted talents that they have cultivated themselves?"

Ding Yumian thought that since the Shi family’s enterprise was so large, it couldn’t be that they didn’t even have a few capable confidants, right?
"Senior, think about how many people there are in the Shi family now, and then think about Shi Liang's age."

Li Yu reminded.

Then Ding Yumian came to his senses. Shi Liang was the only one in the Shi family with the surname Shi. Together, the family only had Chen the housekeeper, an old man who was about to die, and Shi Liang, an older man. In addition, the Shi family became rich so quickly that it could be said that the only thing left in the family was money, and there were very few people available.

"The key is……"

Li Yu glanced at Ding Yumian, then looked at Huang Xingli who was tortured by the book, and gave a shot of prevention.
"Senior, you can't do anything after I tell you."

"explain."

For some reason, Ding Yumian always felt that her junior schoolmate seemed to be targeting her good sisters, not because of his sexual intentions, but because of other thoughts.

"According to Butler Chen, I was asked to recommend a single girl with a good character and good looks."

"Good-hearted, powerful, and decent looking...

The only single girl I know who meets the requirements besides you is Senior Huang."

If the single requirement is added, Huang Xingli is the only one who meets the requirement.

It goes without saying that Huang Xingli has a kind heart. Her character is honest and simple. She doesn't have any bad intentions in her daily life. From time to time, she and Ding Yumian donate some money to the orphanage.

He is very powerful. A high-level wizard who can graduate from Mingzhu Academy is definitely strong enough to be in Bo City.

In terms of appearance, although she looks a bit like a tomboy because of her words, deeds, dress and style, Huang Xingli is able to be best friends with Ding Yumian, the school beauty, and not feel inferior. In addition to having a good mentality, her appearance is definitely above average and is more pleasing to the eye.

"so……"

Ding Yumian gave Li Yu a malicious look.
"Are you going to set them up?"

Who is she? Ding Yumian, the most beautiful girl in the school, had countless men flirting with her before she was caught by Li Yu, and all kinds of tricks were used against her.

She, who has full experience in identifying enemies, saw the conditions and thought that it was not about recruiting a supervisor, but looking for a partner! Wasn't this selling out her best friend?
No wonder Li Yu told me not to do anything just now.

"It's because Steward Chen is eager to have a great-grandson. After all, Shi Liang is already quite old, and Steward Chen is worried that the Shi family will be extinct one day."

Li Yu began to present facts and reason.
"Senior, be fair, what would happen if Shi Liang's conditions were put on the blind date market?"

Needless to say, just from a short contact with Ding Yumian, one can make a judgment that, first of all, he is wealthy. All the industries under the Shi family are under the absolute control of Shi Liang. Due to the huge profits in the pharmaceutical industry and the introduction of new pharmaceuticals, the development is extremely rapid. With another ten or twenty years of development, a trillion-dollar group will be a piece of cake. Even now, there are tens of billions of assets. Boss Shi Liang is definitely a diamond bachelor.

As for his personal aspect, he is a talented research genius and also a handsome guy. His only shortcoming is that he is just an ordinary person and not a magician, but this is not a problem in the face of his huge wealth.

Looking at it this way, Ding Yumian felt that her silly best friend didn't seem to be worthy of him.

"Butler Chen, do you trust your judgment so much?"

Ding Yumian glanced at Li Yu and did not continue to ask Li Yu's question. Li Yu laughed and became confident instantly.
"That's right. He said that birds of a feather flock together. Those who can be with you and me are all young talents. He is absolutely confident in the candidates I recommend."

"Butler Chen now has to manage the development of the company and handle daily chores for Shi Liang. He doesn't have the extra energy to work on this aspect, so he can only ask me, who has a good relationship with Shi Liang, to do it."

"and……"

Ding Yumian gave Li Yu some extra food.
"Your friend probably doesn't intend to consider this aspect. I guess Butler Chen entrusted you with this matter privately, so you can only do it secretly.

Are you planning to let the girl and your friend get close to each other and develop a relationship over time?"

"Senior is wise!"

Li Yu gave a thumbs up. This was exactly what Butler Chen had planned. With the grand plan of inheriting the Shi family bloodline at hand, this was the first time the old man had acted first and reported later.

"The old butler has really taken a lot of trouble for your friend." Ding Yumian said with emotion.

According to the old butler's standards, this girl should become Shi Liang's personal bodyguard. Her good character ensures that the other party will not usurp his position. However, this is probably also the old butler's backup plan for Shi Liang, a guy who lacks common sense.

"but……"

Ding Yumian asked doubtfully:

"In that case, why doesn't Butler Chen just recruit maids or bodyguards? That would be more convenient, right?"

Li Yu shook his head.

"Butler Chen said he had his own plans. I'm not sure."

Seeing Ding Yumian nodded and fell into deep thought, Li Yu kept silent.

More than ten minutes passed.

"Are you sure your annual salary of 200 million won't change?"

Just as Li Yu was anxiously waiting for Ding Yumian's final verdict, the latter suddenly asked.

"Definitely not changing, and this is after tax."

Li Yu immediately assured,
"Butler Chen said that this matter depends on the fate of the two people. Even if it doesn't work out, we won't force it. Those annual salaries are the wages of hired personnel."

"Besides, Shi Liang rarely goes to work at the group. He spends most of his time in his own laboratory. For Senior Huang, working there is almost like going to work normally."

Hearing this, Ding Yumian nodded.

"I can only promise not to stop her. If Xingli is wronged, you..."

"Absolutely impossible. The contract terms for Senior Huang will state that she can resign at any time, there is no penalty, and her salary will be paid according to her working hours."

"Then... let's agree to it for now."
