Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 85: Choices

"Fifty thousand a month... as your life assistant?"

An Tong’s eyes fluttered, looking at Li Jing in disbelief, instinctively feeling that he was joking.

But seeing his calm and sincere gaze, she realized it was all true.

The two had entered the room but hadn’t had a chance to sit down before falling into a brief silence.

Li Jing observed An Tong’s uncertain gaze and knew she was feeling chaotic, so he didn’t rush but patiently waited.

An Tong felt her mind was somewhat muddled, and it took a while before she regained her composure, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"The life assistant role you mentioned... what duties does it include?"

Hearing her question, Li Jing knew An Tong was somewhat intrigued and said, "Everything related to me, including buying things for me, organizing my room, and helping me with some procedures."

"What else?" An Tong seemed not to have heard the answer she had in mind, looking back at Li Jing.

"What do you think it should include?" Li Jing looked at her with a half-smile.

Seeing this, An Tong immediately understood the implication, her face reddening as she instinctively avoided his gaze.

Understanding An Tong’s hesitation and dilemma, Li Jing began to analyze for her: "Fifty thousand every month, and you already have a job, meaning that without changing your spending habits, you can save at least six hundred thousand annually.

In ten years, that’s six million, which, even in Celestial Sea City, is enough to buy yourself a small apartment."

Hearing this, An Tong was visibly tempted but still reassured, asking, "Would you fire me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh: "I’m not the government, can’t offer you a lifelong job security.

Besides, you already have your own job, so even without my income, you wouldn’t suffer much loss."

As he spoke, he looked into her eyes and continued: "Someone once said that large sums of money are usually earned over three to five years. Many people’s wealth accumulation isn’t by working diligently all their life but concentrated in a shorter period.

Now might be your chance to accumulate wealth, it’s just a matter of how you choose."

After he finished speaking, An Tong remained silent, not immediately responding.

Until she was sure she couldn’t decide right away, she looked back at Li Jing, requesting: "Can you give me some time? I need to think it over."

Facing her conflicted gaze, Li Jing knew there wouldn’t be an answer today but wasn’t anxious.

The metaphorical window between them had been opened today, An Tong had no turning back.

Unless she could harden her heart and never meet him again.

But obviously, An Tong couldn’t do that.

If she could, she wouldn’t have crossed the line today either.

However, Li Jing understood An Tong’s character; her bottom line was higher than Zhang Xinxin’s, and if she agreed so quickly, he would be suspicious.

"You’re probably too distracted to do anything else right now."

Li Jing smiled: "I’ll safely send you home, then I’ll return to the hotel.

I’ll be staying there the next few days, you can come find me anytime."

As Li Jing opened the door and left, An Tong’s gaze subtly changed, instinctively stepping forward but then stopping.

Seeing the elevator arriving, An Tong couldn’t help but ask: "You really won’t date or have a girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to ask this, then turned around and smiled:

"As I’ve always said, I don’t date."

Watching him enter the elevator, hearing this answer, An Tong surprisingly felt a bit of joy for the first time.

If he never has a girlfriend, perhaps I won’t be easily fired...

Then, she closed the door and sat back on the sofa, receiving a call from home.

"Mom..."

Receiving a call from family at this time made An Tong’s voice sound a bit complicated.

"You just send messages and red envelopes during holidays, without calling?"

The voice of a middle-aged woman came over the phone.

"I-I had some things today, I was planning to call tonight." An Tong explained.

"Alright then, why do you sound a bit unhappy?"

"Oh no, it’s just, maybe I went out just now, feeling a bit tired."

"If you’re tired, get some rest, don’t push too hard. Mom knows you want to stay in the big city, I won’t persuade you otherwise, just hope you take good care of yourself. If one day you feel really tired, come back."

"Mom..." Hearing her words, An Tong felt mixed emotions.

"Our family’s circumstances are not great, but we can still support you.

Mom’s actually most concerned about your relationship, I won’t rush you to marry, and don’t necessarily need grandchildren. But you must choose wisely, don’t marry someone just for the local household registration."

Hearing this, An Tong explained: "Mom, don’t think all Celestial Sea City men are bad..."

"It’s not just me thinking this, do you remember Li Xintong? She was in the same middle school as you, and her mom used to play cards with me."

"Li Xintong? Didn’t she also come to Celestial Sea City?"

"Yes, she had the same intention as you, got married hastily last year to a local, I heard he’s a small rich second generation..."

"She got married?" Hearing this news, An Tong was a bit surprised and somewhat envious: "How is she now, should be doing well."

"What’s good, initially it was okay, but now less than a year later, that man is socializing every night, not going home, and her mother-in-law is always picking on her.

I heard last time Li Xintong’s parents visited Celestial Sea City, her mother-in-law wouldn’t even let them into the house, though there was a spare room, they insisted they stay in a hotel."

"That’s somewhat acceptable, but not allowing the parents into their daughter’s home must have been tough for them, so they went back the next day, and the local specialties they brought weren’t accepted, taking everything back."

Hearing this, An Tong frowned slightly, "That family is a bit excessive, they’re after all in-laws."

"You consider them in-laws, they might not think the same. Li Xintong’s parents said they’re alright, but it’s hard seeing their daughter like a servant in that man’s house.

They say women who marry into wealthy families become prettier, but Li Xintong seems more worn down than before."

Hearing this, An Tong’s expression changed, unclear of what to say.

"I say so much because I’m worried about you focusing solely on settling in Celestial Sea City and choosing the wrong man. People say women fear marrying the wrong man and men fear entering the wrong profession. A marriage choice influences most of a woman’s life, be extra cautious, don’t just focus on that household registration.

A man’s money is still his, better the money you earn and keep in your own pocket."

After listening, An Tong was silent for a long time before saying: "I understand, mom, don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself."

After ending the call, she stared at the window at the gradually darkening sky, recalling Li Jing’s words and murmured softly: freewēbnoveℓ.com

Is this the life I want..."
