Chapter 2084
2084 Some People Are Still Not Giving Up!
“Then…” Ji Ziyin vaguely felt that Ji Hongyuan wanted her to do something. Her heart could not help but beat faster and she pursed her lips.
“I’m no longer the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall. Our family’s future needs to be entrusted to others. Other than Ji Nan, I think the most highly of you in the Ji family!
“Ji Nan is a direct descendant and the legitimate heir, so by all rights, the Ji family should be handed over to him in the future. However, he doesn’t want to improve himself and refuses to enter the research institute. He’s already in his 30s and is still muddle-headed outside. Therefore, between the two of you, I think more highly of you.”
Ji Hongyuan spoke very bluntly and looked at Ji Ziyin with a pair of sharp eyes. “The teachers of the Ji family all say that your talent in black gunpowder is above ordinary people. You also entered the research institute early and learned from Gu Hengbo. I want to entrust the future of our family to you. What do you think?”
Ji Ziyin was stunned.
If Ji Hongyuan had not been stripped of his position as one of the family’s core members, she would definitely have been more than happy, but now… Ji Ziyin had no choice but to have her own considerations.
She fell silent and avoided Ji Hongyuan’s bright gaze. Instead of answering immediately, she shied away. “Sixth Elder, you know that I’m not thinking about this for the time being. I…”
“Heh, you’re unwilling?” Ji Hongyuan stood up with his hands behind his back, as if he was suppressing his anger. He looked at Ji Ziyin ferociously.
In the past, why would he say so much to a junior?
Unfortunately, he was in dire straits now and had no choice but to consider his status in the family and beg Ji Ziyin.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling. I just…” Ji Ziyin refused to admit that she had her nose in the air and was still looking for an excuse to decline.
Ji Hongyuan was an experienced person, after all. He could tell what she was thinking. “Haven’t you always wanted to enter the Level 8 laboratory? I have a way to let you in.”
Ji Ziyin suddenly looked up.
Ji Hongyuan was calm and unruffled as he said indifferently, “I still have a secret recipe related to the Ji family’s black gunpowder in my hands. I also have a notebook. It’s an experimental notebook left behind by the former genius of the Ji family.”
Everyone in the Level 8 laboratory had an experimental notebook.
Xie Tingyun had one.
Of course, Ji Qing also had one.
She had left the Ji family in a hurry back then, so that notebook had fallen into Ji Hongyuan’s hands. Ji Hongyuan had never handed it over to the family.
“That experimental notebook is enough for you to become the number one person in the First Research Institute.”
Ji Ziyin was already tempted, and her gaze was sincere.
Ji Hongyuan looked at her coldly and said with his hands behind his back, “I can give you these two things. In addition, I promised you that I would introduce you to Feng Yu. This still stands. However, I have a condition. Unless you can fulfill this condition, there’s no need to talk about anything! I can still take back what I’m planning to give you.”
Ji Ziyin was already tempted. She secretly pinched her palms and tried her best to look calm. “What condition? Sixth Elder, tell me.”
Ji Hongyuan knew that he had guessed correctly upon seeing her reaction.
People like Ji Ziyin sought benefits and avoided harm. As long as he gave her enough benefits, she would take the bait.
“I want you to make Qiao Nian unable to survive in the research institute!” Ji Hongyuan could not hide the bloodthirsty aura in his tone. His eyes were red and his teeth were gritted in hatred.
He could not do it himself, so he wanted Ji Ziyin to do it for him.
Otherwise, how could he be willing to swallow this anger?
