Chapter: 2771
Charlie Wade said, “Ms. He, since you and Ruo haven’t seen each other in a long time, why don’t you go back to your room and rest? I’m sure you both have a lot to talk about. I’ll send someone to you soon. If you need anything for dinner, just let the staff know.”
He Yingxiu nodded slightly and replied, “Thank you, Master Ye!”
Charlie smiled and added, “By the way, Ms. He, if you’re interested in the He family, we can talk about working together in the future. I could hire you, so you and Ruoli wouldn’t have to be apart.”
He Yingxiu remained silent, but Su Ruoli, who was beside her, jumped in excitedly, “That’s great! Mom, you should move to Jinling!”
He Yingxiu looked a bit embarrassed and said, “Master Ye, if you mentioned that I shouldn’t tell anyone about Ruoli, then I can’t bring anyone from the He family to work with you and Ruoli. But without my family, I feel limited in what I can do for you…”
Charlie smiled again and replied, “Ms. He, I understand. But this isn’t a problem for me.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “First, I really want to work closely with the He family. This cooperation involves you, me, and other members of the He family. You don’t need to worry about Ruoli in this matter. Even if the He family sends many people to Jinling with you, they won’t know about Ruoli.”
He Yingxiu nodded gently and said, “I understand, Master Ye. Even if the whole He family…”
Charlie Wade had formed a close partnership with He Yingxiu, but he made it clear that he couldn’t share Ruoli’s situation with anyone else. “I understand,” He Yingxiu replied. “That’s not a problem, right?”
“Not at all,” Charlie said with a smile. “The He family has cut ties with the Su family, and you need a steady income. I’m looking to expand my influence as well, and I would like to work with the He family. The compensation I can offer will be hard for them to refuse.”
He Yingxiu nodded and said respectfully, “Master Ye, whether the He family chooses to work with you is up to my father. May I ask what kind of offer you can make? I’ll relay it to him for a decision.”
Charlie smiled and asked, “What did the Su family offer you before?”
He Yingxiu replied, “The Su family promised the He family a fixed annual payment of 600 million yuan, which is 50 million yuan a month. At the end of the year, if we meet our task goals, we could receive an additional bonus of one to two billion yuan.”
Charlie nodded, “That sounds like a standard salary plus performance bonus model.”
“Exactly,” He Yingxiu sighed. “To earn more, the He family had to do everything possible for the Su family. The challenge is that there are only fifty martial artists in the He family, which makes it tough to meet those demands.”
The He family relied on various medicinal materials for their income, which made up over half of what they earned. After the accident, when they decided to cut ties with the Su family, the Su family immediately stopped their cash payments. This included withholding the repayment of tens of millions from the previous month. As a result, the He family struggled financially and couldn’t make ends meet, which significantly affected everyone’s ability to progress in their cultivation.
When Charlie Wade heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Ms. He, if you don’t mind me asking, what kind of medicinal materials do you need for cultivation?”
