Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong readily agreed.

This time Li Fan did not assign a servant, but went to find his youngest son in person.

After finishing the work, he did not go back to the steward's office directly, but went to the master's study to report the matter.

After listening to this, Li Maili smiled and said, "He is a man who knows how to repay his gratitude. It is worth my previous painstaking teaching."

"Clean up Jingyuan. There is a door facing the street there, which will be convenient for the young lady to come in and out."

After a pause, he continued, "Let her rest for a while. If she doesn't want to stay, don't force her."

"She is now a college student at St. John's University in Shanghai. She is very independent and capable."

"You may not know this, but she and Ina opened a clothing store, and she usually manages it. I heard that her income is very considerable. She is a capable child."

"It's a new society now. Unlike when the old man was still alive, women can become officials and do business. I think she has a promising future. Maybe she can help Renchao and others in the future."

Seeing the master's boastful look, Li Zongguan echoed, "The first time I saw the young lady, I felt that she was not an ordinary person. The whole demeanor of her body must be that of a young lady from our Li Mansion."

"I didn't expect that the young lady would be so promising. She said she would be admitted to that Saint-what-something University, and she was admitted."

Li Maili corrected him, "St. John's University! It's the best university in Shanghai. Only about 20 female students were admitted that year."

“Although it is not as difficult as the previous spring exams, it is not much different.”

Manager Li: "Yes, yes, yes! The young lady is not only well-educated, but also good at business. I have to say, she is like the master in this respect!"

When Li Maili heard this, he started to think about it. Yes, his second brother didn't know how to do business back then, but he didn't expect that he would have a daughter who could do business.

It should be like the old man, who was both civil and military, and knew everything, but he chose to be an official. If he had not been an official and chosen to do business, he would definitely be the richest man in the world!

"He's like an old man in terms of doing business!"

Manager Li was stunned. This is a bit exaggerated! What kind of person is the uncle? The young lady is a woman after all...

When Li Maili heard that there was no sound, he looked up at Manager Li in confusion.

Li Zongguan said immediately, "Yes, yes, yes! He really does look like Master Bo, a rare talent among men, unrivaled by anyone."

Li Maili regained his senses after his talkative mood passed. He waved his hand uncomfortably and said, "Go do what you need to do!"

Manager Li: "I'll take my leave."

After this, Ai Shutong's status in Manager Li's heart was raised to a higher level. Seeing the master's expression, he compared her to the eldest young master. He had to serve her well, because she was a veritable little ancestor!

On the way back to the steward's office, Manager Li stopped two servants and asked them to find a few people to quickly clean up Jingyuan, heat the kang, and light the charcoal basin.

As he walked, he was thinking about arranging a few maids for the young lady, and then he turned around and told the servant, "Go and call your mother Jixiang to the steward's office."

"Don't forget to ask her to bring a few well-trained little girls with her."

The servant waited for a while and saw that the steward had no other instructions. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped again, "Ask your steward Bian to open the storehouse and find some good things to decorate Jingyuan."

"It should be elegant, not those tacky gold and silver objects!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the waiter still staring at him blankly. He kicked him and said, "Go away! What are you doing blankly?"

"What? Grandpa asked me to do something, and you still want a reward?!"

When the servant saw that the steward was angry, he ran away immediately.

Another servant knelt down and cleaned Li's shoes. "That boy is not very smart. Don't be angry."

Manager Li kicked him away angrily, "Don't block the way, I'm busy!"

Ai Shutong was in the manager's office, eating snacks while seeing servants coming in and out, some to report bills, some to withdraw money, and some to get matching cards.

She had never seen these things before, and she looked at them with curiosity, her eyes wide open.

When Jixiang came in with the six little girls, he saw Ai Shutong, who looked like a curious baby, at first sight.

She looked at Ai Shutong calmly and felt that this woman was very strange. She had a charming face, but her every move was innocent and cute.

What should she say? It's just that her age and behavior don't match.

At the same time, she was also guessing in her heart that Manager Li might have called her here just for the woman in front of him.

Who is this person?

Before she could guess, Ai Shutong's eyes fell on her. Seeing that it was an old lady in her forties or fifties, she nodded politely.

Jixiang smiled subconsciously.

This was the scene that Manager Liu saw when he came back.

He took two quick steps forward and introduced, "Jixiang, this is Miss Li Qiuying, the master's niece."

"Miss, this is Jixiang, who teaches the maids in the mansion. Everyone calls her Mother Jixiang."

Ai Shutong was the first to greet, calling out, "Jixiang Mom."

Jixiang smiled and bowed, "Greetings to the young lady."

Later, two little girls appeared around Ai Shutong, one named Meixiang and the other named Cuizhu.

Ai Shutong, who wanted to get first-hand information, had a hearty lunch in Jingyuan and took a break.

After getting up, Meixiang came in to report that Manager Li Cheng had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Ai Shutong quickly got up and walked out, and Cuizhu quickly put her coat on her.

"Manager Li, no need to be so polite. I wonder how the investigation went?"

Li Cheng stood up again and replied respectfully: "Miss, I have already found out that Aunt Lin is currently living in Qianduju."

"Her employment documents were re-appointed by Li Guang, that kid... Li Guang, and she now receives ten yuan a month."

"I heard from Li Guang that Aunt Lin was very capable and could earn 20 yuan a month before she left. This time when she returned, Li Guang was afraid that the Li Mansion would no longer employ her, so he did not report her and directly registered her as a new employee."

Ai Shutong: "How is her health? I heard that she has an incurable disease!"

Li Cheng looked up at Ai Shutong in surprise, then lowered his head again after realizing what was going on. "No, right? I saw Aunt Li, and she didn't look like someone who was sick."

Ai Shutong felt that this was inconsistent with the information she had investigated, so she asked carefully, "Why did you go back to your ex-lover's house when everything was fine?"

Li Cheng: "Oh! I actually asked about this. Li Guang said that the reason why Lin Ma went back was because the doorman, Old Li, wanted to see Lin Ma before he died. Li Guang wrote a letter to Lin Ma on his behalf."

"Although Aunt Lin went back, Old Li got seriously ill and died before he could see Aunt Lin."

Ai Shutong: "Old Li is dead?!"

Li Cheng nodded affirmatively, "He's dead. The ones guarding the gate now are Li Guang and Wangcai!"

Ai Shutong was silent for a long time and then asked to meet Lin's mother at Li's house.

Li Cheng was still able to make the decision on this little matter. "Okay, when does Miss want to see you? I'll arrange it."

Ai Shutong looked at her watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. "Let's go tomorrow! I have friends at the Beijing Hotel. I won't stay any longer. I'll come back tomorrow."
