Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Grandma Ji said calmly, "Eldest son, what do you mean by that? Ye Chen has actually entered our family, so he's one of us now."

"Besides, do you think I don't know how good Ye Chen's medical skills are? Letting him go to the research and development department is already a great benefit for us."

"Is this the end of it, or is it that my words carry no weight now?"

As she spoke, the great-grandmother of the Ji family looked calmly at Ji Xiaoren, immediately silencing him.

To be honest, Ji Xiaoren has forgotten how long it has been since he took over most of the company's power.

Grandma Ji rarely looked at him so sternly, but this time she showed an unusual determination.

This surprised Ji Xiaoren, while Ji Ruoyun and Li Furong looked on incredulously.

Especially Ji Ruoyun, he clearly said the formula was garbage, so why did it end up like this?

This made them feel that the actions of the Ji family's great-grandmother this time might have other meanings. Was she warning their eldest son's family?

First, they used the IPO as bait, then they seized the formula they wanted most, and even brought Ye Chen into the core department controlled by their main branch.

Ji Ruoyun was somewhat unconvinced. He couldn't understand what kind of spell Ye Chen had cast on his great-grandmother.

Since Great-Grandma trusted him so much, then conversely, Great-Grandma didn't trust herself.

She was her great-grandmother's biological granddaughter, okay? Ye Chen was an outsider, so why should he be allowed to do this?

It's important to understand that although the R&D department is controlled by their eldest son's family, the key technicians are still in the hands of their great-grandmother.

Ji Ruoyun wanted to join the research and development department and begged for a long time, but her great-grandmother never agreed.

Now she's sending Ye Chen to the R&D department and even offering him guidance. She doesn't understand it; Ye Chen is just a good-for-nothing who never even went to university.

What qualifications do they have to instruct those senior researchers whom the company has hired at great expense?

"Mom, how about we go to the company for a meeting to discuss this?"

"After all, the research and development part is related to the company's core secrets, and Ye Chen's qualifications are still a bit lacking."

Unable to persuade his great-grandmother directly, Ji Xiaoren decided to take a roundabout approach.

As long as he could attend a company-wide meeting, he was confident he could prevent Ye Chen from entering the R&D department.

In addition to being a confidential department of the company, the R&D department is also known as a cradle of top executives.

Because within the R&D department, as long as you have the ability, it's only a matter of time before you rise to the top management of the company.

In Ji Xiaoren's view, his great-grandmother had Ye Chen join the research and development department.

It's likely that they've set a precedent, intending to bring Ye Chen into the company's upper echelons as well.

When Ji Ruoyu and Ye Chen work together, their influence within the company will likely be greatly affected.

While the eldest son's family was racking their brains to find a way to stop it, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

Great-grandmother seemed to notice Ye Chen's expression and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Ye Chen? Is there a problem?"

Worried that Ye Chen might say something inappropriate, Ji Xiaojun quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, Ye Chen will definitely work hard in the R&D department."

As he spoke, Ji Xiaojun looked at Ye Chen and said, "What are you standing there for? Do you know how rare it is to get into the R&D department? Hurry up and thank your great-grandmother for her guidance."

Although Ji Xiaojun looked down on Ye Chen, it was a done deal, and his family was already tied to Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen could join the R&D department, it would naturally be a good thing for their second branch of the family.

Seeing that Ye Chen still didn't speak, Ji Xiaojun wished he could go up and agree for Ye Chen.

Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen in silence, her heart filled with doubt and her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She didn't understand why her grandmother trusted Ye Chen so much.

You should know that even though she wanted to join a core department like the R&D department before, her great-grandmother had refused.

However, Great-Grandma took the initiative to let Ye Chen enter, which could be described as favoritism.

After a long silence, Ye Chen said, "I'm afraid I can't comply, but I appreciate Great-Grandma's kindness."

"Great-grandmother knows that I'm used to being lazy, and it would be really uncomfortable for me to clock in and out at work from nine to five every day."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's refusal, Ji Xiaoren was overjoyed and quickly said, "Mom, you heard that, it's his own unwillingness."

Ji Xiaojun, however, said with a hint of exasperation, "Ye Chen, do you know what you're saying?"

“Apologize to your great-grandmother immediately. It’s an honor for you to be able to work in the R&D department. Do you know how many people in the company want to go but can’t?”

As he spoke, Ji Xiaojun quickly looked at his great-grandmother and said, "Mom, Ye Chen doesn't know what's important. I'll talk to him properly later and make sure he goes to work in the R&D department."

Grandma Ji ignored Ji Xiaoren and Ji Xiaojun's words and simply looked at Ye Chen, asking, "Have you thought it through?"

"Now that you have joined my Ji family, I will treat you as one of my own. Although our family has been kind to you, your master has already given you enough in return."

"With your abilities, it's a real waste to only be a security captain. Don't you really want to reconsider?"

Grandma Ji clearly didn't want Ye Chen to waste his life, and it wouldn't look good if word got out that Ye Chen was still working as a security guard.

Ji Xiaoren said, "Mom, Ye Chen is still young and will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, working as a security guard will allow him to understand the company's grassroots situation and gain more experience, which is quite good."

Just kidding, if Ye Chen joined the R&D department, it would be a real problem for them.

Just be a security guard and watch the gate honestly; you pose no threat to them.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaojun wanted to explain, but before they could speak, Ye Chen said first, "Great-Grandma, I understand what you mean, but I also have my own arrangements regarding work."

“I mentioned before that I wanted to open a beauty salon, and it’s already open now. It’s located in the south of the city, and I’ve also opened a clinic on the first floor. If we build up our reputation, our Ji family can pursue a career in medicine in the future.”

"In that case, the Ji family will have two legs to walk on, which will be much more stable than relying solely on cosmetics."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned; even Ji Ruoyu was unaware of this.

All we knew was that Ye Chen had been leaving early and returning late lately, but we never expected that he would open a beauty salon and a clinic without anyone noticing.

Ji Ruoyun directly mocked, "You, opening a clinic and leading the Ji family to pioneer the path of medicine."

"I think you're a toad trying to eat swan meat, you don't know your own limitations. You don't really think you can win my bet just because you have a beauty salon and a clinic, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ruoyu regretted it. After all, compared to Ye Chen joining the R&D department, running his own clinic was quite good.

Ji Xiaojun reprimanded him, saying, "If you really want to open a clinic, you should open it in the East District, where there are many wealthy people."

"You opened your clinic in the south of the city, which is the old town, full of poor people. What future is there in opening a clinic there!"

"Given the cost of living there, how many people can afford to go to a beauty salon? You're just throwing money away!"

Grandma Ji looked at Ye Chen with some surprise, not expecting him to have such thoughts.

Seeing that Ye Chen was unmoved by his words, Ji Xiaojun quickly turned to Ji Ruoyu and said, "Ruoyu, you should persuade him to give up the idea of ​​opening a clinic and go back to work at the company."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu shook her head and said, "Dad, since Ye Chen chose this path himself, even if we don't support him, we should respect it."

Ye Chen glanced at Ji Ruoyu with some surprise, not expecting her to say such a thing.

Ji Xiaojun, his face flushed with anger, retorted, "What? Even you're not listening to me anymore!"

Mei Ruofang, standing to the side, also looked grim and said, "I think it's this boy who has corrupted our daughter!"

What a great opportunity! Once Ye Chen enters the R&D department, he will be more than just an informant to the second branch of the family.

This also represents the attitude of the Ji family's great-grandmother, which is equivalent to sending a signal to the company that she is interested in the second wife's family.

Ji Xiaojun couldn't accept that Ye Chen had given up such a rare opportunity.

Grandma Ji said, "Yes, Xiao Chen, you're right. The Ji family will indeed need to walk on two legs in the future."

"Moreover, practicing medicine is a virtuous act that will also help the Ji family's reputation."

"However, opening a clinic is not easy. Have you encountered any difficulties recently? If so, you can talk to Grandma."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen said, "Speaking of which, there is indeed something I need to trouble Grandma with. The clinic's basic medicinal herb supply has run into some problems, and I'd like to get a batch of herbs from here to tide us over. Of course, I'll pay according to the market price."

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother of the Ji family said, "We're all family. It's just some medicinal herbs. Consider it a donation from your grandmother."

As she spoke, Great-Grandma looked at Ji Xiaoren and said, "Here's what you'll do. Have Xiaochen make a list of the medicinal herbs he needs, and you can allocate a batch to him from the warehouse. If the warehouse doesn't have them, you can go and buy a batch yourself."

Ji Xiaoren nodded and said, "Yes, Great-Grandma. I'll take care of it shortly."

He could accept the result of letting Ye Chen join the R&D department.
