Mo Wenjie shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. "Testing"
Jiang Xiaobai hastily agreed upon hearing this. "Testing"
Mo Wenjie looked at the two of them. The Fengdan Association in Yundu City has truly become a separate faction under your two, with no real alchemists but a makeshift assembly. You two really are talents; to come up with such a method is truly something that deserves my admiration!
Du Qiao Kang certainly couldn't miss Mo Wenjie's words. He quickly bowed and said, "Duqiao Kang is embarrassed! We did not want to see the Yunducity Alchemy Association become stronger, but our abilities and resources are limited. Moreover, we have even fewer funds. Every year, the Taiyang Domain Alchemy Association only provides us with a small amount of funds for the Yunducity Alchemy Association, which is not enough for our daily expenses and only enough to pay for cleaning. The rest of the funds have to be found elsewhere. How could we dare to act impulsively?"
Mo Wenjie looked at the two of them after hearing this. "Testing"
Du Qiao Kang and Jiang Xiaobai nearly broke down in tears upon hearing this. They held the medicinal materials, their hands trembling. How could they not know how precious these materials were, yet Mo Wenjie was just like this and letting them attempt to refine the elixir. It was natural for them to be excited!
Du Qiao Kang looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled, nodding his head. "I am truly in awe of your vision, Mr. Mo. I, Du Qiao Kang, cannot compare to your magnanimity. I am extremely impressed by your courage and vision. If it were me, I would not have done so. That is why the Yunducity Alchemy Association has been deteriorating under my leadership, such a result was inevitable. I really admire you!"
Jiang Xiaobai was even more grateful and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your trust in me. I will not disappoint your expectations. I promise to refine each piece of medicinal material carefully and ensure that not a single bit is wasted!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "I don't need any guarantees from you, I just want you to take each piece of medicinal material seriously. No matter how precious the medicinal materials are, they are meant for refining elixirs. Of course, with elixir refining, there is always a possibility of failure, which everyone knows. I don't expect a 100% success rate from you, but if the failure is due to your lack of effort, you must take on that responsibility!"
Du Qiao Kang and Jiang Xiaobai quickly nodded in agreement. "Please rest assured, Mr. Mo. If our lack of care leads to the failure of the elixir refining, we are willing to bear the loss!"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this. "Go ahead and refine the elixir. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Du Qiao Kang and Jiang Xiaobai went to refine the elixir with the medicinal materials!
Mo Wenjie walked around the Alchemy Association, then left and returned home!
Mei Lan, Zhu, Ju and Ju simultaneously approached Mo Wenjie. "Young Master, you've returned. Don't know if you have any instructions?"
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them. "I do indeed have something to discuss with you!"
Mei Lan, Zhu, Ju and Ju all spoke in unison: "Young Master, please feel free to give orders. Why should we have to discuss it? As your servant, we just need to follow your instructions!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head at the four of them. "I want you four to work at the Alchemy Association, responsible for welcoming customers and selling elixirs. Your monthly salary will be doubled!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Lan, Zhu, Ju, and Ju hurriedly nodded and then shook their heads. "Young Master, we refuse!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking? A monthly salary that's doubled is something many people can only dream of. You refuse it without even batting an eyelid? I don't even know what to make of your thinking. You aren't out here for money, right? Why would you give up a chance to earn even more?"
Mei shook her head at Mo Wenjie. "Young Master, of course we're here to make money, and we know that more money is always better. But we don't want to leave you, because leaving you would mean earning all the money in the world, but I wouldn't go anywhere without you. I have decided not to do it!"
The other three heard this and looked at Mo Wenjie. "Young Master, were you trying to get us to leave? How can you do that to us? We haven't done anything wrong, nor have we done anything that would bring disgrace to you. How could you be so ruthless? Do you really look down on us? If we had done something wrong, we would leave on our own. But we truly don't know where we have gone wrong. We hope you can give us a reminder! Even if you're going to send us away, please let us know where we are at fault!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head at the four of them. "You haven't done anything wrong, and I wasn't thinking of getting rid of you. I just think that working at the Alchemy Association would be more prestigious and profitable!"
Ju shook her head at Mo Wenjie. "Young Master, I don't know what they are thinking, but I have made up my mind to serve you for the rest of my life. I will always be your maid. I refuse to do any work that's considered prestigious. Please, Young Master, fulfill my wish and don't try to send me away!"
Mo Wenjie looked at her and involuntarily shook his head. "I don't want to drive you away, why don't you understand my intentions? I am now the president of the Alchemy Association, and I will spend more time there in the future. Moreover, the Alchemy Association needs manpower. Isn't it more suitable for you to go there? First, your monthly salary would increase, and second, by welcoming customers and selling elixirs, you would learn a lot. These experiences would be a valuable asset for whatever you want to do in the future. Isn't that good?"
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju looked at Mo Wenjie. "Young Master, won't we be able to see you every day if we work at the Alchemy Association?"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this. "That's for certain, as I am now the president of the Alchemy Association, my workplace is at the Alchemy Association. You are also there, how could we not see each other? Moreover, I haven't said anything about you living at the Alchemy Association. You can still live in the Mofu Manor. We can go to the Alchemy Association together and return together as well! What's the point of refusing such a wonderful opportunity?"
Upon hearing this, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju looked at Mo Wenjie and nodded. "As long as we can be with Young Master, we don't care about the monthly salary or not!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head after hearing this. "Each of your families isn't rich, adding another source of income will make your lives much better. Why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity? Why not take the increased salary? It's the right thing to do, as it is what you deserve for your hard work! As long as you work hard, you can do it!"
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju suddenly remembered. They spoke in unison. "Young Master, if we go to work at the Alchemy Association, who will take care of Young Master's daily needs? Does Young Master already have someone else?" If that were the case, we would prefer to stay at home and take care of Young Master!"
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them and smiled faintly, shaking his head. "Have you thought about it? I work at the Alchemy Association every day, so I eat there, too. It's just that I go back home to sleep at night. Do I still need someone to take care of me? You can go to work at the Alchemy Association with peace of mind. There's no need for you to worry about my affairs!"
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju were not happy after hearing this. "Young Master, how can you say such things? Taking care of your daily needs is our responsibility. Why shouldn't we be involved? Are you really hiring someone else?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head after hearing this. "I haven't hired anyone else. I just don't want you to stay at home all day, doing nothing, every day so boring. It's different when you work at the Alchemy Association. In the future, there will be many people coming to the Alchemy Association to buy elixirs. You will be responsible for welcoming them and recommending elixirs to them. Such work is relatively light, and the income is high as well. You'll gradually become more knowledgeable, and you'll be glad that you chose to work at the Alchemy Association!"
Upon hearing this, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju all shook their heads. "Young Master, our first thought is not to leave you. Second, we really don't care about the salary. The only thing we want to do is serve you. As for what you said, we really don't value those things!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head after hearing this. "I won't persuade you anymore. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. I will be working at the Alchemy Association every day, so it's up to you."
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju nodded. "As long as we can be with Young Master, it doesn't matter where we work. Our wish is to be with Young Master forever and never separate!"
Mo Wenjie nodded after hearing this. "Alright, alright, you can do whatever you want!"
Xiao Yawen suddenly walked in and their words "we can do whatever we want" meant that they would do anything to be with Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie looked at Xiao Yawen at the door and smiled, "You're back!"
Xiao Yawen looked at Mo Wenjie and nodded with a smile, "Do you not want me to come back?"
Mo Wenjie quickly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that! Don't misunderstand me!"
Xiao Yawen looked at Mo Wenjie's anxious expression and laughed. "How can you get so anxious!"
Mo Wenjie tapped his forehead upon hearing this, "Oh, it was all a false alarm then!"
Xiao Yawen suddenly remembered something. "When I came back from the Lord's Mansion, I saw a man who was beaten up badly. He kept bowing and gesturing to me, as if he knew me. I asked him who he was."
