Evening.
On the Jiang Family's dining table, an array of sumptuous dishes were spread out.
Jiang Jiye sat at the head of the table, a constant smile on his face.
It had been a long time since he had sat down at the dining table for a meal.
Over the past few months, as his old injury recurred, he could only consume liquid food, which Jiang Qingxue or the maid brought to his bedside.
But today, Qin Guang had significantly healed his old injury, and he felt better than ever before.
Jiang Jiye said with a smile, "Qin Guang, speaking of the jade your mother had years ago, I carefully reflected on the past and it seems that in addition to that jade, she left behind something else in Ningzhou."
"My mother left behind something else? What is it?" Qin Guang was slightly startled; the old man had never mentioned this to him.
Jiang Jiye replied, "I don't know exactly what it is. Back then, your mother was rather vague, and I surmised it from some bits and pieces of her words. It seems that there is a secret hidden in that jade pendant, and you need to find this object before you can unlock the secret within the jade pendant."
Hearing this, Qin Guang fell into deep thought.
The old man had said that as long as he obtained the jade pendant his mother left behind, his medical skills and martial arts would reach a new level.
He had previously guessed that this jade pendant might be the key to some legacy.
Now it appeared that his speculation might not be wrong. His mother had indeed left behind a medical and martial arts legacy in Ningzhou City.
And the key was this jade pendant.
It was not enough just to possess the jade pendant; he also needed to find where the legacy was.
Unfortunately, regarding this legacy, he did not have the slightest clue, and even Jiang Jiye was only speculating about the existence of such a legacy.
Jiang Jiye continued, "Qin Guang, when your mother arranged your engagement back then, she not only left a piece of jade as a betrothal gift but also gave one million as betrothal money, which led to the founding of Jiang Group. Therefore, I am prepared to transfer thirty percent of Jiang Group's shares to you."
"Ah, I cannot accept this," Qin Guang said with a start, hurriedly waving his hand. A betrothal gift was a betrothal gift.
The Jiang Group was built from the ground up by Jiang Jiye himself; accepting these shares would make him appear like a man living off a woman.
Jiang Jiye's eyes widened as he spoke sternly, "Back then, your mother saved my life, enabling the existence of both myself today and the Jiang Group. Later, your mother disappeared without a trace, and you were raised by your master in the mountains for such a long time.
Now that you have come down from the mountain and are going to marry Xiao Xue, we will be one family from now on. All you and Xiao Xue need to do is live a good life. You must not refuse these shares, otherwise, you would not consider me family."
"Alright then, I will accept these shares," Qin Guang relented, unable to refuse any further.
In fact, Jiang Jiye did not have to do this. Qin Guang's mother had indeed been kind to Jiang Jiye, but as long as Jiang Jiye accepted the marriage, he would not be considered ungrateful.
Jiang Jiye then asked, "Additionally, what are your plans for the future? With your medical skills so advanced, do you plan to work in the medical system?"
Qin Guang shook his head and said, "All my skills were learned from my master, and I've never formally attended school, not even completing elementary school education. It might be difficult to get a position at a hospital. Besides, I intend to find my parents first, which might make it hard to settle down and work."
"Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. It's right for you to want to find your parents. I've never met your father, but your mother disappeared quite suddenly, leaving no clues behind," Jiang Jiye remarked, pausing for a moment before continuing, "How about this? You start working at Jiang Group first. Qing Xue is currently pushing for reform within the company, aiming to venture into pharmaceuticals. With your exceptional medical expertise and knowledge of pharmacology, you could be of great help to Qing Xue.
After all, Qing Xue is a girl. Once you are familiar with the business, you could take the helm of Jiang Group, and then you would be able to use the power of Jiang Group to look for your parents. Wouldn't that be much more efficient than searching on your own?"
"I can join Jiang Group, but it's quite good with Qing Xue at the helm. I am not cut out for running a business," Qin Guang once again waved his hand in refusal.
Utilizing his medical skills to assist Jiang Qing in the pharmaceutical direction was possible, and in the future, he could also use the resources of Jiang Group to look for news of his mother.
However, taking charge of Jiang Group was not Qin Guang's aspiration.
"Fine, you will start working at the company tomorrow. As for who will take the helm of Jiang Group in the future, we'll see about that," Jiang Jiye said with a laugh. "Qing Xue, give your uncle a call and inform them about Qin Guang's situation. Getting married is a significant event. After all, he is your uncle, and they should be notified."
"Okay, Grandfather," Jiang Qingxue nodded slightly and took out her mobile phone.
But as she mentioned this uncle, her expression did not seem pleased.
