Bianyi on the other end of the phone was stunned, then said furiously, "Boss, are you extorting me? This is blackmail! You can't force me to work outside of the new company!"

Sitting next to the beautiful teacher Ju Yang, Shen Qiang laughed, "I can, you thought you could scheme against me and get away with it? Now let me tell you, I can force you to do anything I want. If you agree, I'll give you the money right away, if you don't agree, then I have other things to take care of, so I'll hang up now. After all, it's your recruit, and if there's a problem, it's you who will be despised, not me."

"Shen Qiang, in my life, you are the most unprincipled, most despicable, most shameless person I've ever met!" Bianyi yelled angrily.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Aren't you a master? Compared to you, I still have a long way to go, but then again, I'm a vet. If I can't cure you, wouldn't that make me unemployed?"

After three whole seconds of silence on the other end, Bianyi said through gritted teeth, "Fine, you're ruthless, you win! I'll handle the lab for you, and I want the money now—his salary for three years, 5.5 million after taxes, and also…"

"I'll give you ten million," Shen Qiang said with a laugh, then he hung up the phone directly.

The beautiful teacher Ju Yang looked at Shen Qiang with a surprised expression and hesitantly said, "Are you very rich?"

Shen Qiang smiled and replied, "Compared to the real wealthy, I'm still a pauper, but compared to ordinary people, I guess I could be considered a rich man."

The beautiful teacher laughed, "No wonder you're so confident."

Observing Shen Qiang and the beautiful teacher flirting with each other in the backseat, Xiu Ju, sitting in the passenger seat, laughed and said, "Yeah, nowadays women's standards for choosing a partner are quite simple, first, he must be handsome; second, he must be wealthy; third, he must be witty and humorous."

Casting a glance at the beautiful teacher Ju Yang in the rear-view mirror, Xiu Ju said sourly, "Our Shen Qiang meets all three criteria, so there's a lot of women sneaking around trying to get his attention."

As she said this, Xiu Ju turned around with a smile, looked at the beautiful teacher Ju Yang, and said, "But Teacher Ju Yang definitely isn't one of those women, right?"

The beautiful teacher Ju Yang was stunned. After three seconds of silence, she said awkwardly with a laugh, "Of course, I certainly am not."

Helplessly, Shen Qiang looked at Xiu Ju and said, "Teacher Ju Yang, don't listen to her nonsense, she's just joking."

Xiu Ju laughed, "Yes, yes, I'm just joking."

Having said that, she gave Shen Qiang a big roll of her eyes, turned her head, looked straight forward, and sat stonily silent.

After her intervention, the beautiful teacher Ju Yang stopped talking as well.

Shen Qiang felt that at this moment, anything he said would be superfluous and would only lead to further misunderstanding, so he too chose to remain silent.

They arrived at Medical University.

The three of them got out of the car.

Feeling awkward, the beautiful teacher Ju Yang found an excuse and left quickly.

After the beautiful teacher left, Shen Qiang said helplessly, "Xiu Ju, there's nothing between her and me. You shouldn't always do this. It's too embarrassing, especially just now. After you spoke, the rideshare driver was trying so hard to hold back his laughter, it was utterly humiliating for Ju Yang."

"Teacher, huh?" Xiu Ju laughed and said, "You can save those two words of reverence. You've already started calling her Ju Yang. I guess in a few days, you'll be calling her Little Ju, Little Yangyang, Little Ju Yang."

Looking at Xiu Ju making faces, Shen Qiang said helplessly, "You must be reading too many erotic novels."

Xiu Ju pursed her lips and smiled, "Qiang, don't think I haven't noticed, you were sneakily peering at teacher Ju Yang's thighs. Don't think I didn't see you, your eyes lit up looking at her butt."

"That's not true, I'm an honorable man, I would never do such a sleazy thing," Shen Qiang denied.

Xiu Ju laughed, "All right, if you won't admit it, don't blame me for being the spoiler in chief."

Seeing Shen Qiang's helpless face, Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Actually, teacher Ju Yang isn't bad, she's pretty, sensible, and since we're not short on family members, I wouldn't mind adding her to the mix. If you like her, I won't object to you bringing her home."

"But you and her, both of you treat me like a fool. You try to act all innocent, claiming to be like Liu Xiahui, and her? She clearly likes you a lot, her eyes practically shine when she looks at you, yet she pretends she's not interested in you."

"Then the two of you exchange glances, all smiles, clearly not putting me in your eyes, since both of you are acting, I won't be polite anymore."

Shen Qiang frowned helplessly, "You're being too sensitive, we're not flirting at all."

Xiu Ju pouted, "The only thing missing between you two was joyfully rowing a boat together. She went to the hospital today and deliberately put on lipstick, and you checked yourself in the mirror before seeing her today. I've read so many novels, do you think I don't understand the concept of 'dressing to please'?"

Shen Qiang was embarrassed, "It's not like you imagine. Even if I were interested, teacher Ju Yang and Ji Liangchuan have known each other for many years and are close. It's impossible, so stop overthinking it."

"What am I overthinking?" Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow and laughed, "That teacher Ju Yang, although she's a bit older, is clearly still a young girl at heart. I can tell right away; she hasn't actually lived with Ji Liangchuan."

"So, either she hasn't truly decided to commit to Ji Liangchuan, just because he is outstanding enough to satisfy her vanity, or Ji Liangchuan is the safest man in the world, the kind who, if you draw a line and tell him crossing it means becoming a beast, would rather remain a beast and still keep his promises."

Shen Qiang, helpless, said, "Xiu Ju, enough already, I never realized you talked this much before."

"Before, you hadn't slept with me, now you have, so I think it's better if you just bear with it," Xiu Ju raised an eyebrow.

Shen Qiang, helpless, turned and walked away.

Xiu Ju followed behind, urgently saying, "Hey, where are you going?"

Shen Qiang said, "Of course I'm going to recruit someone; I can't always rely on Bianyi to do everything."

Xiu Ju was startled, "Where are we going?"

"Dance Academy, there's a woman named Wang Fang with Nascent Soul Stage cultivation; I'll see if there's a chance to win her over," Shen Qiang said.

"Casanova, you just want to conquer her," Xiu Ju pouted unhappily but still followed behind Shen Qiang.

The two of them quickly arrived at the Dance Academy.

After asking around for a while, they saw the woman named Wang Fang in the sports field; she had a great figure, her legs significantly longer than her upper body, and her looks were just ordinary, not as pretty as Lv Shuyao.

And standing with her in the field was the tall, handsome Ji Liangchuan.

Seeing Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju approaching, Ji Liangchuan smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, you're too late, did you think I'm someone who sticks to the rules without adapting? Although you won the list, I still managed to recruit,"

"So Wang Fang has already decided to join the Ji Family, barring Cheng Hai, who hasn't been fully persuaded yet, all four worthwhile people on the list have been taken under my command, so, you've lost."
