As all four of them sat in the car driving somewhere, Li thought about his future once more. This bodyguard thing was a way to earn money, but nothing fulfilling. His whole purpose before was cultivation, but that was taken away. Now he wanted to earn money and blend in with the people, but with someone like Ling Qidong as his employer and the way things were going, there just wasn't a good future.
I have enough time to find something I want to do; he thought, wasting some of it doesn't matter. In the end, there was no real problem. Exploring this world and this mysterious technology while trying out different occupations would be his likely future. In the end, if he found out that this world had nothing to offer, he would simply find a way to another place.
Well, I guess I let this young master try a few more things. Hopefully he will show me more technology. These driving machines, or even some flying machines he had seen, were truly something he had never seen before.
The ringing of Ling Qidong's phone made him concentrate on the real world once again.
Meanwhile, Ling Qidong, who could barely hold the phone, shook as he saw the number and nervously accepted the call. Yet to the surprise of everyone else, just after a few sentences, Ling Qidong seemed very excited.
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you for this opportunity," he said in excitement and hung up the phone soon after.
"What has made you so excited?" Ma asked. Ma was the only one that had no bad feelings towards Li.
In his opinion, even though Li didn't save him at the Singing Swan, he and his friends were just too confident and provoked someone they shouldn't have. At the same time, the incident just now made him feel nothing but fear for Li and erased any lingering thoughts of taking revenge.
Luckily, he didn't provoke this monster. Maybe he should just cut off these two troublemakers; he had enough friends and other things to do. No need to get in more trouble.
"Old Ma, my contact to young master Lang finally paid off. He just called me and invited me to the birthday party of the young master from the Ding family," Ling Qidong said proudly.
"Ding?? The Ding family? You seriously get to participate in the birthday celebration of young master Ding, son of the third-richest man in the city?"
"Hahaha, old Ma I'm climbing the ladder. Once I get there and make a few friends with the other rich young masters, I will be at an entirely different level."
It was perfect; he would make friends with people, and a whole new circle of rich young heirs would be open for him to expand his network. He could even show his bodyguard Li as someone who would do whatever he wanted while being stronger than anyone.
Now he just had to prepare a costly gift and plan out how to integrate, and his future looked bright. The party was in two days, so he didn't have much time.
Li himself was quite interested as well. A birthday party with all of the younger elite gathered in one place? Maybe I can find a new employer at this party. Let's see who has a decent enough character, and that person will be my new employer for now. At least after this party should be the perfect time to quit.
With different intentions Li and Ling Qidong, awaited the party.
Meanwhile, at Yan Yuiling's company.
"Yuiling, I hereby, personally invite you to my birthday party in two days," young master Ding said out loud.
"I... I am not sure if I have time. I need to manage the company," Yan Yuiling wanted to refuse. Ding Feng was her most annoying suitor. Coming from one of the richest backgrounds in the city, he pestered her almost every day. Bringing her expensive gifts, which she rejected, and trying to bind her company to her father's behind the scenes. While always asking her out for dates.
"Yan Yuiling, don't be so fast to refuse. At my birthday party there won't be just the younger generation; even some CEOs of other tech companies will be there. You could expand your network and business relations there," he said with an inviting smile.
"Sorry, I think I really can't make time."
"Yuiling, please come. I will personally prepare deals for you to sign. Don't you want your company to rise? Think about it; being with me will guarantee your success," Ding Feng said with some desperation. He has tried to get close to Yan Yuiling for years now. Ever since her company took off and became a still small but respectable tech company, and personally seeing her beauty, Ding tried to get her to be his girlfriend.
He tried everything, from gifts to promising power, staying persistent, sending flowers and hearts, and even helping her family. Nothing seemed to work on her. He even got her family to support him, but she still wouldn't accept his love. So the measures had to be increased...
"Yes, I would have a life without any trouble, but I want to earn it myself," Yan Yuiling brought Ding Feng out of his thoughts. "I don't want you, and I don't need you. I, by myself, made this company successful, and I will make it reach higher highs by myself. I don't want to be pampered by someone with nothing but money. Now please leave; I won't come to your party since we are not friends," Yan Yuiling said clearly.
She had enough from this young master. This guy was known for playing with women, and she would be no different. And even if he were serious, she wouldn't have a boyfriend, without any qualifications but the money of his parents.
The most important factor was character; then looks and status or wealth didn't matter at all. At worst, she would pay for everything as long as everything else was perfect.
Of course her man couldn't be lazy or stupid, so he most likely would have a job, but someone like Ding Feng would never be someone she would be together with.
At the same time, Ding Feng, hearing the harsh rejection, wanted to hit this arrogant girl. Who does she think she is talking to me like that? But in the end, his smile returned, and he just said,. "Yan Yuiling, don't forget my invitation; I will be waiting for you." With that said, he left with a dark face. The years of pursuit had to bear some fruit.
