As soon as she returned home she collapsed on her bed and fell asleep. She slept long and deep and when she woke up her eyes were filled with determination, her back straight and her head held high. She went towards her grandfather’s room and knocked on the door with her hand.
“Enter,” the grandfather’s voice sounded out through the door and Yong Meilin entered the room, her entire demeanor had changed. “Grandfather, I wish to take over the spot of the next patriarch of the Yong family here within the Ri Chu City,” she said with a hidden power in her voice.
“I might not be the highest ranked expert, but I am the best salesman. I have the best connections and I am willing to do what has to be done for the Yong family to flourish.”
“Does this have something to do with the youngster Xu Min?” the patriarch asked curiously and Yong Meilin nodded her head, “He will go and fight the world. He will become strong, and while he fights I need to improve so that when he returns I will be able to be his pillar of support.” She was completely honest, not hiding anything from her grandfather.
Sighing the old man started rubbing his forehead as he considered what to say. “I see,” he finally said after a long time, “Well if you prove that you can keep the rank as the best salesman within our company and if you truly manage to get us some good buisiness then I do no mind giving you the rank of the next Patriarch,” the Grandfather said with a smile on his face. “Work hard, you will need to be very outstanding if you want to stand by his side. He is talented enough to become an immortal.”
