Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Don't do this again!" Li Tu warned, "I don't want to hear similar news again!"

"I understand, father. I will correct it." Li Yan responded respectfully.

Heard? From whom did he hear it? A chilling smile appeared on Li Yan's face. All of this fell into Li Jing's eyes. He was startled. What else would Xiao Yan do?

He was about to speak when Li Tu's phone rang.

“Li Tu.”

It was a call from the board of directors, and the calm voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.

Li Tu immediately focused, "Well, Uncle Meng?"

"Have you read this morning's paper?"

"I...haven't yet."

"You just came out of the police station?"

Li Tu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "...Yes." He couldn't deny...

"How dare you say such a thing!" Uncle Meng's voice was stirring in the mysterious magic fluctuations, "Li Tu, what on earth did you do in the magic world? We trusted you and handed over the Li Empire to you, and this is how you repay us? Do you know how much the magic stone exchange rate plummeted yesterday?"

“…” Li Tu knew that he was in the wrong. Although he felt unwilling, he did not dare to refute.

"Last time, your family dispute caused a magical storm on the Internet, and the board of directors had already complained about you. It was me who saved you because of my loyalty to your father, and that was because of his past honor."

"And this time, you broke into the interrogation room of the Wizard Guild, right under everyone's noses. Do you think your life is too comfortable? Or do you think that we old wizards on the board of directors will only sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor instead of working for the Empire?"

Li Tu did not dare to ignore this question and quickly clarified: "How could I have such an idea? Uncle Meng, you misunderstood me."

"Misunderstanding? Does it matter whether we misunderstood you? There is no point in explaining to us! You should explain to the media wizard and clarify to the shareholders!"

"I understand. It's my fault. I will try my best to make amends and minimize the losses." Li Tu assured anxiously.

“You’d better do it! Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you anymore!” Uncle Meng’s tone was threatening, and then he hung up the phone.

Li Tu's face was gloomy. He had been running the Li Empire for more than a decade, and everything had gone smoothly. The directors always smiled at him. But in the past six months, the continuous turmoil had made the board of directors' attitude increasingly tough, and their dissatisfaction with him was growing day by day.

He couldn't let his control over the empire become so weak, absolutely not!

Speaking of which, ever since Li Li returned, she has been like a sign of disaster! Thinking of sending Li Li back to Li Dajun, he still had a trace of regret, but now, that has disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Li Tu's angry expression, the mother and her two children fell silent and dared not say anything more.

Li Tu quickly called his assistant and said, "Immediately publish a statement in all newspapers and magic network platforms, saying that I am cooperating with the Wizards Guild to investigate some matters, nothing else."

“Yes, Mr. Li.”

"Also, immediately buy back the scattered shares that were sold on the Magic Exchange! Minimize the losses!"

"Understood."

At the same time, Jiang Jiuzheng reported to Jiang Nan.

"Fifth Master, Li Tu has solved the problem."

"As expected, such a small trouble can't shake him." Jiangnan is still concentrating on processing documents, "How is Lili?"

"Miss Li is safe and sound. By the way." Jiang Jiu paused for a moment and continued, "Fei Xu attacked Li Cheng yesterday for some reason. They hired YN's magician, but they were unsuccessful and were stopped by Miss Li."

Jiangnan finally put down his pen, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of pride: "Feixu? What is Xu Da doing?"

"It's unclear at the moment, but it seems to be to investigate Li Cheng's magic project."

"Why would he be interested in Li Cheng? People like Xu Da are always so high-minded, why would he pay attention to Li Cheng's newly opened small company?"

"A magician who failed Li Cheng's interview joined Feixu. It might be him who leaked the news."

"Ignorance is bliss!" Jiangnan smiled softly, "Don't worry about the rest."

"Yes, Master Wu."

"Also, find some tasks for Li Tu. I think he is too comfortable in his position as the ruling elder."

"As commanded."

"How is Jiang Xu doing?"

Jiang Xu, the second son of the Jiang family, is engaged in business and has always had a tense relationship with Jiangnan.

"The Second Young Master has been quite well behaved recently, and there has been no unusual behavior."

"Pay attention to this. He is always good at doing things in secret. There must be a reason for his abnormal behavior."

"I understand!" Jiang Jiu responded in a low voice.

"Everyone, please follow me over here."

In the mysterious First Research Institute, a woman in a work gown spoke softly, followed by several young researchers.

"The identification badges have been distributed. This area will become your main workplace. You can visit the cafeteria and dormitory later." The woman introduced them one by one.

"Xue'er, didn't you work here before?" The last two girls were obviously familiar with each other and were talking in low voices.

"Well, but I used to be mainly active on the other side of the institute. This side is full of highly confidential experiments, and I seldom get involved." Li Xue was also looking around.

"Tell me, what exactly is this experiment about? We've come all this way, and we don't even know a single bit of information."

They were all selected through strict selection, and they still don’t know the specific content of the experiment, so they can’t help but have some guesses in their minds.

Li Xue said casually: "It will be revealed soon."

Such a confidential project must be not simple, and Li Xue has been gearing up for it.

She is a native of Blue City and is about to graduate from graduate school. She longs to return to Blue City to work, and Blue City First Research Institute is her ideal place. If she performs well in this project, it will definitely be of great benefit.

"Okay, now we have a general understanding. I will take you to the dormitory and the cafeteria. The interview will be held in this conference room at 3 pm."

Everyone was shocked. There was still a face-to-face meeting?

"Don't be nervous, just meet the researchers and see which one would be the best assistant for you."

Most of them are postgraduate students who have not yet reached the level of being able to undertake projects independently, so they will first learn from other experts.

"OK."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was still reasonable, but they could not let their guard down. If no one chose them in the interview with Lord Jiang, it would be extremely embarrassing!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, several new faces appeared in the conference room on time, waiting nervously.

"Everyone, please be patient. There is a problem in the laboratory."

At this time, in a laboratory just separated from the conference room by a wall, a group of scholars and experts with an average age of nearly 50 were arguing with red faces.

"I told you yesterday's data was wrong, but you didn't believe it!"

"My experimental data is correct! There must be something wrong somewhere!"

“Right? Look for yourself!”

"Forget it, just check the source! I don't have time to argue with you!"

Li Li heard their quarrel from afar. She rubbed her brows in distress. She had never thought that the biggest challenge this project brought her was not the experiment itself, but to appease these stubborn scholars and experts. They were all giants in their fields and would not easily change their opinions. They often argued...

"Liya is here. It just so happens that I can let her identify whose reasoning is wrong."

"Huh, I had that thought a long time ago."

Liya looked up at the magic crystal on the dome and stepped forward helplessly, "What happened?"

"This is the node of this magic circle, and the fifth step of this experiment..."

Leah took the parchment and examined it carefully. After a moment, she tapped a spot on the chart with her fingertips. "The spell structure here is wrong."

"See! I said it was your oversight!" Pingyuan Jiang, the solemn professor of magic, immediately said proudly.

Another scholar quickly snatched the parchment, frowned, and checked it again meticulously. It turned out that he was the one who made the mistake!

The two senior mages had not yet realized that in just one week since the project started, their trust in Leah had become extraordinary, both academically and practically.

"Engineer Li, Engineer Du, Engineer Li..." The messenger from the logistics department cautiously poked his head out of the door, "The new assistants have arrived. Please go and choose one."

"I'll go right away!" Leah replied quickly, feeling relieved.

In the conference room, the people waiting were talking in low voices.

"I hope there will be a wizard from our academy."

"Who knows? We don't even know who the candidates are."

"Even if we know, so what? We don't have the power to choose."

“I’m lucky to be chosen to come here.”

"Yeah, I almost didn't make it through the screening."

"Stop talking, it seems someone is coming."

Everyone sat up straight instantly.

Several mages who were in urgent need of assistants stepped into the room and looked around.

Before they could see clearly, everyone quickly stood up and bowed to greet them: "Respected mages." No matter what, it is always right to address them as masters.

Fu Ruosheng responded gently: "Everyone, please sit down first."

Everyone looked up and carefully looked at the new mage. When they saw Liya at the end of the team, they were startled. Whose assistant is this? Wouldn't that reduce their selection quota?

Li Xue looked at Liya with eyes wide open, full of surprise. Wasn't the previous magic research already over? Why was she here? Didn't magic apprentices need to attend classes?

Liya also noticed Lixue and smiled slightly. They really were destined to be together.

Leah and her group walked to the opposite side and sat down. The young people looked at each other. Is this assistant so straightforward?

The logistics messenger introduced: "These are the chief mages in our project. Everyone can briefly describe the professional fields of their academy and the magic experimental projects they have participated in in the past."

Brief introductions of the assistants were also distributed to each mages.

No one noticed and simply ignored the fact that the "chief wizard" he mentioned also included Leah.

They were given a moment to think, and then they took turns introducing themselves from left to right.

"My name is Tao Yunyun. I am from the Department of Spacecraft Casting Engineering at Huaxia University of Science and Technology. I am currently a third-year master's student. During my undergraduate and master's studies, I have published a total of six magic papers, including one published in the journal "Magic Laws" as the second author..."
