83: Chapter 83 The Technology Researched by the Jiang Family

"Little Ying'er, don't worry, I definitely won't let those families off." Fu Sheng looked deeply at the three people coming out of the restroom.

"No, Young Master Fu, you've misunderstood. We didn't do anything to your wife; we just wanted to be friends with her."

"Yes, if you don't believe us, you can ask your wife."

The three young misses hurriedly explained.

"Wife." Fu Sheng didn't hear anything else, but he heard the word 'wife' very clearly.

"Mm-hmm." The others nodded quickly, fearing that even more terrifying consequences would come out of his mouth.

"Wife, is what they said true?" Fu Sheng was the type of person who would take an inch if given a mile.

"Yes, they just wanted me to help pull some strings for their companies. They've already given me the payment." Gao Ying took out three bank cards.

"You all are really doing something unnecessary. If you truly wanted your companies to improve, you shouldn't have looked for me to cooperate."

"Instead, you should have cooperated with my wife. Her assets are more than a hundred times mine," Fu Sheng said proudly.

The three young misses were a bit dazed. Was what Xi Yutang and the others said actually true?

Was her strength really even greater than Young Master Fu's?

"Fu Sheng, have you no shame? Calling her 'wife, wife'—Sister Ying isn't your wife yet." Xia Yang finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled Gao Ying into his own arms.

Yin Lin and the others had also been enduring it until now, and seeing Xia Yang's action, they highly approved.

"Anyway, it's only a matter of time. Calling her that early is just to get used to it." The more Fu Sheng spoke, the more he felt he was right.

The group was truly infuriated by his shameless behavior.

"Alright, check if the company has any business dealings with their families."

"After all, since I've accepted this 'pillow talk' money, I definitely have to get things done." Gao Ying quickly stopped the men from continuing.

"Have your people go to the AL Group tomorrow. If they get filtered out, then it means your companies don't have the capability." Since the 'wife' had spoken, Fu Sheng would definitely do it.

[Ding! Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Ancient Youth Preservation Technique.]

Gao Ying heard the reward arrive, and she really didn't know how to describe her mood.

Does this even count as face-slapping?

[It counts. After all, you have many assets, and you have many men too,] Fugui explained.

"Heh heh." Gao Ying didn't want to talk and just gave him two words.

This matter didn't cause much of an uproar.

Returning to the banquet hall, everyone was still chatting and laughing.

"CEO Gao, our Old Master would like to invite you over to discuss business." A butler came to invite her.

Yin Lin and Yin Feng wanted to follow along but were stopped by the butler: "I'm sorry, our Old Master only wishes to speak with CEO Gao alone."

Gao Ying told the two of them not to worry and followed the butler up to the third floor.

Coming to the room at the very end of the hallway, as soon as the butler opened it, a blast of cold air hit her face.

"CEO Gao, please." The butler invited her in.

Inside, there was only Old Master Jiang, and in front of him was a coffin.

Gao Ying walked closer and saw the person inside; she knew it was the long-deceased Old Madam Jiang.

To her surprise, Old Madam Jiang's remains were preserved perfectly intact.

"This is my wife, Aqin. Isn't she beautiful?" Old Master Jiang looked at the person in the coffin with a face full of deep affection.

"Indeed, the Old Madam must have been a great beauty when she was young."

Even though Old Madam Jiang was already in her sixties, one could tell from her features that she must have been very beautiful in her youth.

"Aqin was the daughter of a landlord. I still remember the scene of our first meeting."

"I was just a long-term laborer for a poor family, and I was being punished by my employer for some matters."

"I hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. Just as I was about to faint, Aqin appeared."

"She gave me a full meal and even pleaded with the landlord on my behalf, which is how I was spared from punishment."

"Aqin was very well-educated; she was a famous talented woman. Back then, the landlord's threshold was worn down by matchmakers."

Old Master Jiang just went on telling her about the process of how he and his wife met and got married.

In short, the process was quite complicated. During that period, the country was in turmoil, and the landlord's family emigrated abroad.

By the time they met again, they were already middle-aged.

At that time, Old Madam Jiang was the only one left in her family. Because she had no children after many years of marriage, she had been divorced.

It was only when she returned to her hometown that she met Old Master Jiang again, and gradually, the two got together.

Strangely enough, she became pregnant the same year they married.

Old Madam Jiang was full of disbelief at the time. Her previous husband had several concubines who all got pregnant, yet she alone could never conceive.

Out of guilt toward her husband, she had no reason to stop him from taking concubines.

However, in the end, she really couldn't get past her own feelings, and plus, her husband intended to give the position of the main wife to another concubine.

She proposed a divorce, and her husband didn't try to keep her, agreeing very readily.

At that time, her dowry was also returned in full.

Actually, she hadn't thought about entering another marriage, but when fate comes, it cannot be stopped.

After reuniting with Old Master Jiang, only happiness awaited her.

"Old Master Jiang, you've said so much. What exactly is the business you want to talk to me about?" Gao Ying asked.

"I want to travel through parallel dimensions to continue my marriage with Aqin." Old Master Jiang gently caressed the ice coffin.

"Your idea is truly advanced, but isn't that impossible?" Gao Ying was truly shocked.

She didn't expect that what the Old Master wanted to talk to her about was actually this.

Parallel dimensions! If she hadn't transmigrated to a parallel dimension herself, she might have thought the Old Master was dreaming.

"Does it feel like I'm dreaming? That it's an impossible task that still requires a massive amount of money for research?" Old Master Jiang seemed to be used to her shock.

"So your son worked so hard to expand the company just to fulfill your wish?" Gao Ying asked.

"Yes, there are two things I'm most proud of in this life. One is being able to form a family with Aqin."

"The other is that my descendants are all very filial. Even for such an unreasonable request of mine, they are all willing to work hard for it."

"My youngest grandson specifically went to study quantum physics for this. If you can invest, I can introduce my grandson to you."

"That kid Fu Sheng doesn't know how to care for people as well as my youngest grandson."

Gao Ying's mouth twitched after hearing his words: "Your youngest grandson is working hard for your dream, yet you want to use him to pull in sponsorship."

"Does he know?"

"He knows, but every time I mention this, he just hangs up the phone. Am I not doing it for his own good? He's so old and doesn't even have a partner."

"All he knows is to stay in the research institute all day long." Old Master Jiang spoke with a tone of disappointment.

"Old Master, forget about your grandson. To tell you the truth, I currently have five men around me; I'm afraid your grandson wouldn't be able to take it." Gao Ying refused directly.

"Little girl, not bad. Young people these days really know how to play around." Hearing her words, Old Master Jiang only felt she was impressive and didn't show any disdain or disapproval.

"Hehe, you flatter me. I'll invest in this business. How about I start with 100 billion?" Gao Ying also wanted to see if an instrument to travel through parallel worlds could be built with the current technology.

[It's likely difficult. Your money would basically be like throwing it into the water,] Fugui commented on this.
