The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Even though Xu Yiyu was usually calm and composed, he couldn't control his expression at this moment.

"Uncle Li, are you really not joking with me?"

Xu Yiyu asked back in disbelief, the slight tremor in her voice showing how uneasy she was inside.

"Please don't joke with me about such an important matter. I will take it seriously."

She knew very well that due to Li Rong's identity, the "mission" he mentioned was definitely not a simple matter.

And since this was the result of discussions among a group of think tanks, Li Rong, the second-in-command of China, must have sent someone to monitor her every move a long time ago.

"Girl, don't be afraid. We don't mean to force you."

Li Rong noticed the insecurity in Xu Yiyu's eyes, knowing that he might have frightened the child to some extent, and immediately softened his tone.

"Although you have been designated as the executor of this mission, it does not compel you to complete it. You can first listen to some details of the mission and then decide whether to accept it."

Lu Sanshi silently put his arm around Xu Yiyu's shoulders, giving her the warmest support invisibly.

"Uncle Li, since you said so, I can listen to the details of the mission first. But I must make it clear to you in advance that I am a businessman and a small figure. I will most likely not take on a mission or mission that is not motivated by profit. Please do not place 100% of your hope on me."

After thinking for nearly half a minute, Xu Yiyu calmed down his unusually turbulent emotions and responded to Li Rong's words without any fluctuation in his tone.

She actually had the guts to bargain with China's second-in-command. Even though she was the one who said this, she still found it a little unbelievable.

"Xu girl, if you bargain with me like this, aren't you afraid of any unexpected consequences after today?"

The smile on Li Rong's face faded a little, and the majesty of being in a high position for a long time emanated from his body. Although there was no anger in his eyes, it made the bystanders feel the heavy pressure.

"Of course I am afraid. After all, your identity is here. If I am not careful, the Tianyu Group that I just established will be wiped out."

If Xu Yiyu said that he was not afraid, he would definitely be lying.

But now that she has entered the business world, she knows very well that wealth and honor must be sought through risk. The reservedness she felt when she first met Li Rong was now thrown out of her mind. She simply stopped choosing her words when speaking to Li Rong, and her mentality became much more open-minded.

"But wealth and honor come with risk, and you don't look like one of those upper-class people in ancient China who would use their power to oppress others, so I want to take a gamble."

Xu Yiyu stood straight in front of Li Rong, neither servile nor submissive. Instead, there was a sparkling light in his eyes, and an alluring momentum seemed to be about to burst out.

Li Rong stared steadily into the eyes of the young man in front of him. Xu Yiyu did not dodge, but looked back calmly and openly, without a trace of conspiracy or calculation in his eyes.

Lu Sanshi nervously watched the two people staring at each other, and beads of cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead.

When not talking about business, my baby is always gentle and docile, and he is not the kind of person who insists on competing with others for superiority or inferiority.

But today, when facing this big leader whom ordinary people can't even see, his back was not bent at all. Instead, he had the courage to bargain with him. He was abnormally courageous.

However, as the saying goes, human hearts are unpredictable, and Li Rong is a long-term leader. The things and dimensions he thinks about are much more complicated than those of ordinary people. Xu Yiyu's gamble is almost equivalent to putting his life at the gates of hell.

Li Rong observed Xu Yiyu silently for a long time, so long that Lu Sanshi, a bystander, thought he would not speak again. But Li Rong suddenly laughed without any warning.

"Hahaha, you really are worthy of being the one who was able to build Tianyu Holding Group in just over a month, Xu girl, you really impressed your uncle."

Xu Yiyu naturally did not miss the rapid change in Li Rong's expression. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not speak.

The second-in-command in front of her probably hasn't finished speaking yet, and she is still waiting for him to say what he really wants to say.

"Because this mission was assigned by the person above, I have to be more cautious, so I have to test you."

There was a hint of apology in Li Rong's words. Although he did not apologize openly, Xu Yiyu could hear the kindness hidden between the lines.

"Xu girl, you are really a very courageous person. Just based on this point, I think the executor of this mission must be you."

Li Rong, with a look of relief in his eyes, smiled gently and looked at Xu Yiyu, whose back was still straight, and pressed his hand towards her as if to comfort her.

Seeing that his bet was right, Xu Yiyu was no longer tense. He pulled Lu Sanshi to sit opposite Li Rong without any hesitation, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Uncle Li, put yourself in your shoes. I can totally understand your approach, but please tell me the details of the mission first so that I can consider the specific situation."

It was absolutely impossible for her to be on high alert with the person in front of her. She had already done her best to not be at a disadvantage. How could she really have the courage to challenge Li Rong's authority?

"In fact, regarding this mission, we in the sea have already started looking for suitable executors a few months ago, but after screening many candidates across China, the official candidate has not yet been decided."

Xu Yiyu heard a very soft sigh, and she actually heard helplessness in the tone of this decisive leader.

"I can't tell you much about the mission. What you need to know is that this matter is simple and complicated at the same time. We just hope that you can agree to buy something for us on the last day of the auction."

"what?"

Xu Yiyu looked around in his mind for the items that were worth Li Rong's trouble, but he still had no clear idea.

"This object is related to China's destiny. It is not on display in Longteng Residence. To be precise, what we have at present is not the real object, but a piece of information about it."

When the word "luck" came out of Li Rong's mouth, Xu Yiyu's mind flashed with inspiration and he came up with a bold guess in an instant.

"I can't tell you what this item is right now. When the information is revealed on the last day of the auction, you will know that this is what you want to bid for."

The vague description of the mission details and the cautiousness in not mentioning the object made Xu Yiyu more certain of the accuracy of his bold idea.

"Okay, I've told you the details of the mission, now it's time to talk about your final benefit."
