After Ginny threw herself into Anduin's arms, she hugged his neck tightly, shouting, 'Remember, remember...' which made everyone laugh.

Anduin naturally let Ginny sit on his arm, picked her up, and looked at the little girl who was so close to him, his eyes full of joy and affection.

"It seems Ginny likes you more than I thought. You're more effective than me. It seems letting you be Ginny's godfather really worked." Arthur leaned over to Ginny and pinched her little hand. "Call out to Godfather. Do you remember this is your godfather?"

"God, Godfather..." Ginny obediently called out. She just felt that the handsome uncle in front of her felt very kind, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of godfather.

After hearing Ginny's call, Anduin responded happily, then carried Ginny back to the living room to sit.

Ginny was very clingy, and after sitting on Anduin's arm for a while, she gradually became bolder, staring straight at Anduin, and then playfully messed with his hair.

Anduin was not angry because Ginny was naughty in his arms, but instead cooperated and leaned his head over, letting her mess up his hair.

Arthur smiled happily when he saw that the two had such a good relationship, laughing, "Look how much Ginny likes you, why don't you let her stay with you for two days? I'll come back to pick her up in a few days."

"Stay with me?" Anduin shook the little girl in his hand when he heard the words. "Ginny, would you like to? Play in Diagon Alley with Godfather for a few days?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Ginny didn't really understand what it meant, but she instinctively nodded in agreement when she looked at Anduin.

Hogg, who was crouching beside him, shuddered in horror when he heard the news. What, is this female demon going to live here?

No way! I strongly disagree!

Hogg stretched out his dog paws from afar and protested silently, and then was gloriously ignored by Anduin.

"Okay, okay, stop showing off your father-daughter relationship." Moody curled his lips in disgust at the harmonious appearance of Anduin and Ginny. "Let's get down to business. Didn't you say in your letter that you had something important to talk to us about?"

"That's right." Anduin nodded when he heard the words, then carefully put Ginny on the sofa next to him, and Ginny sat there quite obediently, grabbing the lollipop Anduin handed her and munching on it.

Anduin leaned forward slightly, then took out two documents from his body and pushed them in front of Arthur and Moody. "Take a look at this."

Moody and Arthur looked at each other, somewhat confused, and then picked up the documents to read.

"Oh? You're ready to open your alchemy item company?" Moody had known about Anduin's plan a long time ago, but he looked at the other party in surprise. "But what does the 5% stake mentioned in this document mean?"

Arthur nodded slightly after reading the document. "Silver Lightning Alchemy Company? Is this the name you're preparing for the company? It's a good thing you're opening a company, why do you want to transfer shares to us?"

It turned out that the document Anduin handed to the two was a shareholding agreement for an alchemy company. He had been thinking that since he was going to do business with the Ministry of Magic in the future, he would naturally have to develop some internal relationships. Minister Bagnold was too upright, and others didn't have enough trust.

So he thought of Moody and Arthur. As a heavyweight figure within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Moody had a considerable right to speak. With him speaking for him in the Ministry of Magic, the effect would naturally not be bad. If this 5% stake could bring Moody and the network behind him to his side, it would not be a loss at all.

As for Arthur, although his 'Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office' was only a small department, from the information he had learned before, Arthur's authority was not small at all.

In the future, he planned to get involved in the field of civilian alchemy. To make civilian alchemy items, he would inevitably have to modify some Muggle items. Then Arthur could become the umbrella for his company in the future. After all, the Ministry of Magic was responsible for legislation by its own shareholders, wouldn't that be easy?

In fact, he had also prepared a contract document for Hagrid. Anduin would inevitably go to the Forbidden Forest to fleece sheep in the future, so he naturally had to get him on board.

To put it bluntly, he was integrating resources and developing the hidden value in these people.

Besides, these people were all his friends, and Arthur was now considered half a relative. Naturally, he wanted to make money together. Anduin still understood the principle that good water should not flow to outsiders.

However, Anduin couldn't say these things to them clearly, so he had to find some legitimate reasons.

"That's right." Anduin looked at the two with a smile. "I'm going to start my alchemy company recently."

"But the alchemy company I opened mainly deals in tactical equipment, and most of the products are not intended for sale to ordinary wizards. Both of you work in the Ministry of Magic, and your colleagues will be my main customers in the future."

"So I would like to invite you two to be consultants for the company, and then learn about customer needs and feedback from you. As for these shares, my funds are relatively tight right now, so this is considered your salary for hiring you."

Speaking of this, Anduin specifically looked at Moody. "For example, you mentioned many difficulties encountered by Aurors in the line of duty before, which gave me a lot of inspiration and ideas for product development, so I am very sincere and want to invite you two to join Silver Lightning Alchemy Company."

Hearing Anduin's explanation, Arthur still looked at the other party with some confusion. "But even if you want to hire a consultant for the company, wouldn't it be enough to hire Moody? Although I usually conduct surprise inspections for external affairs, I rarely fight on the front line."

"Indeed, if it's just for combat equipment for front-line duty, it's true that Moody is enough as a consultant, but in the future, I also want to try to enter the market for civilian alchemy items. As far as I know, you also have research in this area, especially in the modification of Muggle items." Anduin picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass for the other party, then smiled slightly at Arthur.

Arthur nodded as if he suddenly understood when he heard this. He had indeed communicated with Anduin a lot in this regard.

The Moody next to him obviously thought more than Arthur. He saw his two eyes, one big and one small, turn back and forth, and suddenly grinned at Anduin.

"Haha, Anduin, you beat around the bush and said so much. You actually want to use these shares to bribe us and want us to win more orders for you in the Ministry of Magic." Moody had seen so many storms and waves, and saw through Anduin's little thoughts at a glance.
