"Although you killed Yuwen Chong, you are still a talented individual. Our Manager Yang greatly appreciates you!"
The secretary's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi as she spoke. "If you perform well, you will have a great future with our company!"
After speaking, the secretary handed Jiang Yi a badge.
"What is this?" Jiang Yi asked.
"This is our company's identification!"
The secretary explained, "Everyone in our company has such a badge. We call it the 'Badge of Honor.' After passing the test, you will become a true assassin. The better you perform during the test, the higher your rank will be!"
"So my skills would allow me to become a top-tier assassin?" Jiang Yi inquired.
"Whether you can become a top-tier assassin depends on your capabilities!"
The secretary looked at Jiang Yi and continued, "Assassin ranks are divided from one to nine. Above rank nine is a Gold-tier assassin! Since our company was founded, the strongest individuals during testing could only achieve rank three. With your skills, you can at most become a rank three assassin!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
"How is the salary calculated?" Jiang Yi asked.
"All assassins in our company receive a monthly salary of one thousand. Additionally, the company will assign you missions. Upon successful completion of a mission, you will receive a ten percent commission!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Furthermore, you can take on missions yourself. Every month, our company will provide you with several tasks. All the rewards from these missions are yours; the company will not take a single penny!"
"I never imagined being an assassin would be so good!" Jiang Yi grinned.
In truth, Jiang Yi was not short of money.
His intention in doing this was merely to avoid suspicion from Wan Hui Company, making them believe he was a greedy person.
The methods this assassin organization used to control its assassins, besides deterrence, were primarily financial inducements.
"Do you have any other questions?" the secretary asked.
"No more!"
Jiang Yi replied.
"In that case, come back for the test this evening. After passing, you will be an assassin for our company, dedicating your life to us from then on!" the secretary stated directly.
"Mm."
Jiang Yi nodded and then left Wan Hui Company!
Outside the company, Shi Jin's brow furrowed tightly.
Shi Jin scanned his surroundings before quietly speaking to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, your goal isn't to become an assassin, is it? From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person."
"I apologize, I lied to you earlier!"
Jiang Yi confessed, "My true purpose is revenge! My parents were killed by this assassin organization."
Shi Jin was stunned upon hearing this!
"I didn't tell you before because I was worried you might get involved!"
Jiang Yi looked at Shi Jin and said, "Pretend you didn't hear anything I just told you."
"Mr. Jiang, you've helped me so much. Now that you're in such great trouble, how can I stand by and do nothing? However, I still want to advise you, you cannot achieve revenge alone. This is akin to seeking death!" Shi Jin stated.
"I have a way. Don't get involved in this, even for Ya Ya's sake!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing Jiang Yi mention Ya Ya, Shi Jin's brow furrowed even more tightly.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi patted Shi Jin's shoulder and continued, "I know you want to help me, but if you get involved, it will only put Ya Ya in danger!"
Shi Jin nodded.
"Don't think too much about it! And don't blame yourself!" Jiang Yi said.
Shi Jin's face showed helplessness.
"I'm heading back now. I'll be here for the test this evening!" Jiang Yi finished, hailed a taxi, and left!
An hour later, Jiang Yi returned to the villa.
As soon as he entered, he encountered Ye Yanran!
"You're back!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mm."
Ye Yanran nodded.
"You've returned this time to move your things, haven't you? You are now the head of the Xiao family, so you should return to the old Xiao family residence. It's not appropriate to live here!" Jiang Yi stated.
"I have no intention of moving out!" Ye Yanran replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was taken aback.
"I've grown accustomed to living in the villa. I want to continue staying here. If you feel it's inconvenient, just tell me, and I'll move out!" Ye Yanran said.
Jiang Yi was somewhat exasperated!
After helping Ye Yanran become the head of the Xiao family, Jiang Yi had intended to completely sever ties with her.
He hadn't expected Ye Yanran to linger here and refuse to leave!
Jiang Yi felt quite annoyed. If Ye Yanran insisted on staying, he couldn't exactly ask her to leave!
"I think it's better if you leave the villa. Regardless, you are now the head of the Xiao family. If people find out you're living here, they'll surely gossip!" Jiang Yi advised.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yanran's delicate eyebrows knitted together.
"I've decided, I'm not leaving! I will live here from now on. If people want to gossip, let them. I don't care!" Ye Yanran stated directly.
"That's not what you said just now!" Jiang Yi retorted.
Ye Yanran had just said that if he asked her to move, she would.
"I've changed my mind!"
Ye Yanran looked at Jiang Yi. "I've realized now that a child cannot be without a father. I want to remarry you!"
These words stunned Jiang Yi!
He hadn't expected Ye Yanran to proactively bring up remarriage.
"That's impossible!" Jiang Yi stated.
"I know it's impossible! But don't forget, I'm pregnant with your child. Can you truly bear to abandon our child?" Ye Yanran asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed.
"Didn't we agree before? You would take care of the child, and I would help with any needs you might have, but not remarry!" Jiang Yi said.
"I did say that before, but I've changed my mind now!" Ye Yanran replied.
Jiang Yi shrugged.
Ye Yanran's trip from Jiang Province to the capital had completely changed her; it was as if she had become a different person.
If it were in the past, Ye Yanran, for the sake of her pride, would never have uttered such a desire for remarriage, even if she had it in her heart!
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, Dongfang Mei emerged from the hall.
"Ye Yanran, you were the one who initiated the divorce from Jiang Yi, and now you want to remarry him. What do you take Jiang Yi for?"
Dongfang Mei spoke to Ye Yanran, "Don't forget, Jiang Yi is already engaged. He and I are going to the civil affairs bureau tomorrow to register our marriage. If I were you, I would never think about remarriage, because you've abandoned Jiang Yi once, and he will never forgive you!"
