Chapter 98

"Does this mean Li Ting still needs to go to Hong Kong for the exam?" Ren Qiaoyi asked.

"It depends on whether she is willing to go or not." Li Yi looked at his sister.

"Going is not a problem." Li Ting said. She knew her brother was very rich, and going to Hong Kong was no big deal, "But I am a patriotic person and will not be subservient to foreigners."

"Of course, we are just going to observe the evil capitalist examination system. Those unpatriotic people wouldn't be able to go even if they wanted to."

"Right, as long as you understand that." Li Ting nodded.

"Wow, you're going to Hong Kong?" Wu Simeng exclaimed enviously.

Hong Kong, a highly prosperous metropolis, one of the world's leading financial centers, and a "paradise of food" and "shopping," who wouldn't want to go?

"Simeng, you can accompany her and take the exam together, it would be good to have a companion." Li Yi said.

"Really? I can go too?" Wu Simeng was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, you are my little apprentice." Li Yi smiled lightly.

Wu Simeng's face turned slightly red: "But I don't know anything, how can I take the exam?"

Her academic performance was average, and if she were to take an SAT test in English, she probably wouldn't even understand the questions.

"You can learn if you don't know. You are my apprentice." Li Yi said, then looked at his sister, "Xiaoting, if you like school but feel there's nothing good to learn, you can form a study group, teach other members, and develop your organizational skills. You can help Simeng with her studies. In the future, the outstanding members of the group can be your reserve talents, which might be useful."

"My reserve talents?" Li Ting was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, as my sister, you must grow into a capable person to help me." Li Yi said.

Ren Qiaoyi was stunned by the conversation.

How could he talk so arrogantly, one moment talking about going to Hong Kong for the exam, the next about forming a study group and recruiting talents, acting as if he were some big leader.

Li Ting didn't mind; she was already used to her brother's arrogance. She put a piece of meat in her mouth and nodded, "Alright, I'll start recruiting. Wu Simeng, are you willing to join my group and become my subordinate?"

Wu Simeng immediately looked at Li Yi, clearly waiting for his decision.

Ren Qiaoyi couldn't understand why the usually proud Wu Simeng was acting like a meek wife today, so obedient to Li Yi, almost writing the Three Obediences and Four Virtues on her face.

Li Yi smiled, "Sis, don't start by poaching my people. Simeng can join your study group, but she is my person and can't be your subordinate."

"What? Is she your woman? Have you gone that far?" Li Ting was first surprised, then looked at Wu Simeng with interest, "Tell me, when did you become my brother's woman?"

Wu Simeng felt Li Ting's question was ambiguous and her face turned bright red instantly.

"Simeng, ignore her, she just likes to stir things up." Li Yi said.

"Tsk, you did it, so I can't ask?" Li Ting shot Li Yi a glare and said, "Tell me, who else is yours? Is it that one over there?"

At this moment, Bao Xiangxin at another table was still looking over.

Li Yi said, "Don't just assume everyone is related to me. In this school, my people are you and Simeng. If you want to recruit talents, Bao Xiangxin has great potential and is currently more outstanding than you. If you can recruit and cultivate her, she might become a great asset in the future."

"She is more outstanding than you, why don't you want her?" Li Ting asked.

"Because she is not my sister." Li Yi pinched Li Ting's cheek, "There are many outstanding people in the world, I don't have the time or inclination to cultivate each one. Compared to you green students, I prefer people with social experience. But for you, cultivating these people is a good choice."

"Is that so?" Li Ting thought for a moment, then waved to Bao Xiangxin from afar, "Come over!"

"Me?" Bao Xiangxin pointed to her nose, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, you, come over quickly!" Li Ting shouted.

Bao Xiangxin put down her chopsticks and walked over. Although she knew Li Ting, they were not in the same class and had no interaction.

"What do you need?" the beautiful class president asked softly.

"Bao Xiangxin, I've formed a study group, join us." Li Ting said.

Bao Xiangxin felt a bit annoyed, "Do we know each other well? Why should I join your group just because you formed it?"

Ren Qiaoyi, sitting opposite Li Ting, was even more taken aback. This brother and sister really thought they were some big shots; once they started, no one could stop them!

"Sorry, I don't have time." Bao Xiangxin said politely.

"Brother, what if she doesn't have time?" Li Ting asked in a low voice.

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh, "If you recruit people, you have to solve the problems that arise. If you can't handle such a simple issue, don't talk to me."

"What's so impressive about that?" Li Ting pouted, then asked, "Why don't you have time?"

Bao Xiangxin said softly, "I have to work after school to earn money for my studies."

"Oh, earning money!" Li Ting slapped Li Yi's thigh, "Brother, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, right?"

Li Yi remained silent.

Li Ting then boldly asked Bao Xiangxin, "How much do you earn from your part-time job after school?"

"Fifty yuan a day." Bao Xiangxin said.

"Then I'll give you a hundred yuan, join our group!" Li Ting said.

She remembered that when Li Yi talked to her mother and aunt about recruiting, he said the salary could be as high as needed. Compared to the company's salary, the amount she offered Bao Xiangxin was peanuts, and someone who could afford a presidential suite wouldn't care about such a small amount.

"What does your group do?" Bao Xiangxin asked curiously.

She earned fifty yuan for her part-time job, which was already quite good. She didn't expect Li Ting to offer a hundred yuan. If she could earn a hundred yuan every day, that would be three thousand yuan a month, which was not a small amount!

"We have a lot to do, but currently... the main task is to study, and help Simeng with her studies." Li Ting said vaguely.

Li Yi had only mentioned the group casually, and she had formed it without much thought.

"Is it just a study group, and you get a hundred yuan a day?" Bao Xiangxin asked, incredulous.

"Of course not, I'm paying you a salary. You will be my subordinate and follow my instructions. For example... I can have you do some odd jobs, like cleaning and wiping tables." Li Ting continued to make things up.

"If it's just doing odd jobs and studying, that's fine. Is the salary paid daily?" Bao Xiangxin asked.

She was afraid Li Ting would just talk and not pay.

Li Ting glanced at Li Yi, seeing him still pretending to be clueless, and decided on her own, "Daily."

"Alright, you can find me whenever you have free time after class." Bao Xiangxin said.

"Then it's settled, go back and eat." Li Ting waved her hand.

As Bao Xiangxin walked back to her table, she thought to herself, "Saying it's a study group, it's probably to help Li Yi with his studies, otherwise why a hundred yuan a day? Ah, Li Yi's grades are so poor, helping him with his studies is fine, I just hope he doesn't drag the class down."

On the other side, Li Ting excitedly patted Li Yi's thigh, "It's settled, don't forget to pay, we agreed to pay daily."

Li Yi smiled lightly, "Why should I pay?"

Li Ting was surprised, "Didn't we agree with Bao Xiangxin to pay her a hundred yuan a day?"

Li Yi said, "That was your agreement, not mine."

"You, Li Yi, actually selling me out? You won't even give a hundred yuan?" Li Ting was furious, "If you're not going to pay, why didn't you say so earlier?"
