The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

China's second-in-command has always been a recluse in his life except when it comes to state affairs.

The fact that he took the time to come to the auction held by the four major families is enough to show how much importance he attaches to this auction.

It's not like Xu Yiyu hadn't thought about meeting a big shot whose face she had only seen in the news at this auction, but she only dared to think about it in her mind.

The moment he saw the real person, Xu Yiyu felt that all the knowledge he had learned before was not enough, and there was only one feeling left in his mind.

--Shock.

Seeing that Chairman Xu, who had become very famous in recent days, was frozen in place as if he had been cast into a spell, Li Rong suddenly smiled amiably and said something to someone behind him.

"Old Zhou, please come and help these two kids calm down. I'm at a loss."

Zhou Fu appeared from behind Li Rong at some point. Seeing that the leader had spoken, he walked to the door without wasting a moment and half-invited and half-dragged Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi in.

The leader had given instructions for this meeting, so he had to ensure the leader's safety and not let a fifth person know that Li Rong was now in Box No. 2.

When the door of the box was closed, Xu Yiyu finally regained some consciousness and greeted Li Rong calmly.

"Mr. Li...Mr. Li, I am sorry for the intrusion."

Xu Yiyu weighed it for a few seconds and finally chose the title of Mr.

"It was very rude of me not to know you were here before."

Lu Sanshi, who is from Shandong Province, has been watching the news at home with his parents since he was a child. He is more familiar with the face of Li Rong, the second-in-command, than Xu Yiyu.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Xu Yiyu's fiancé, Lu Sanshi."

If today's meeting was public, Lu Sanshi would definitely tell his parents that he had met the big leader!

In the eyes of Lu Sanshi's parents, this is a sign of great promise!

Seeing that the two juniors had finally recovered, Li Rong's smile became even kinder.

He did not put on airs. Instead, he walked up to Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi in a very approachable manner, shook hands with them, and gently patted Lu Sanshi on the shoulder.

"Relax, relax. Today is my private time. Don't be so restrained. Just be like you normally are. Don't be nervous."

Li Rong is a few years older than Xu Yi's father Xu Yi, but he looks much younger and more energetic than Xu Yi, and there are not many wrinkles on his face.

Putting aside his official identity, he really looks like an amiable uncle next door.

"Thank you Mr. Li for forgiving our disrespect."

Xu Yiyu bowed slightly and saluted Li Rong, but still did not dare to sit down.

Although Li Rong asked Xu Yiyu and the others not to be nervous, Xu Yiyu was just an ordinary person before he obtained the system. How could he not feel restrained and nervous when meeting the second-in-command of China!

To put it simply, this person was not someone she was qualified to contact before. Today's unexpected meeting really made Xu Yiyu feel like she was in a dream.

"Don't be so polite when calling me Mr. or Mr., you two are about the same age as my child. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Li."

Although Li Rong turned 60 a few years ago, his spirit and appearance are not much different from those of an average person in his 50s. His hair is still black and shiny, which is obviously the result of proper daily maintenance.

Xu Yiyu's lips moved a few times, and the three words "Uncle Li" were stuck in his throat several times, but he couldn't say it out.

Lu Sanshi, on the contrary, adapted to Li Rong's presence faster than Xu Yiyu, and called him "Uncle" clearly and loudly.

Li Rong looked Lu Sanshi up and down, grinning from ear to ear, and had no intention of blaming Xu Yiyu at all. Instead, he understood her emotional state at the moment.

He also worked his way up from the grassroots level to his current position. He had experienced situations like today before when he was unknown. At that time, he was not as calm as these two juniors and even spoke haltingly. If his superiors at the time had not protected him, he would have made a fool of himself in front of the big boss at the time!

"Uncle Li, if you don't think I'm being rude, I have a question for you. Of course, you don't have to answer it."

After Xu Yiyu calmed himself down, he suddenly thought of something.

"Just ask, little girl Xu, no need to be polite with uncle."

Li Rong looked at Xu Yiyu, who was wearing a dark blue Xinhua-style cheongsam today. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that this girl was likable, and he became more friendly when he spoke to her.

The task given by the person above is certainly important, but he has not been present in an official capacity in the past few days, so he can naturally make friends with the younger Xu Yiyu on a private level first. This will not only not put pressure on her, but also when the task above is assigned to her later, the probability that she will simply accept it will be greater.

Zhou Fu had appeared at the auction today just to accompany this leader. Seeing that Xu Yiyu had questions for Li Rong, he showed great discernment and quietly retreated from the box without making any sound.

"The person who was watching me and my fiancée from behind yesterday at Taishan Pavilion should be you, Uncle Li, right?"

Xu Yiyu stared straight into Li Rong's eyes without blinking, and did not avoid the gaze of this superior.

Li Rong smiled calmly and nodded, "Yes, I knew you felt my gaze at that time, otherwise you wouldn't have left Taishan Pavilion so quickly and went to other exhibition areas to view the exhibits."

"Then let me, as a junior, ask Uncle Li a straightforward question - you came to this auction not just to be a spectator, right? Is there any other reason?"

When asking this question, Xu Yiyu's back tensed up involuntarily, and he was looking forward to the answer he was about to get.

She didn't know if anyone had ever spoken so bluntly to the second-in-command before. She was not a fool, so she naturally thought about it for a long time before asking this question.

Inquiring into the true intentions of those in higher positions is often a very dangerous act, and Xu Yiyu didn't know whether this seemingly good-tempered "uncle" would hold it against him.

"Hahaha, girl Xu, you are just like what Zhou Fu said before, you are definitely not an ordinary person."

Li Rong looked up to Xu Yiyu just because she had the courage to ask this question to his face.

"Uncle, I won't hide it from you. Yes, I did come to this year's auction for a different purpose."

After Li Rong laughed a few times, he looked at Xu Yiyu with admiration in his eyes and nodded frequently.

Xu Yiyu was not too surprised that Li Rong did not hide the real purpose of coming here.

What surprised her was that Li Rong did not keep her in suspense at all and frankly confessed to her, a junior, that his intentions were not limited to the auction.

However, this was not the only thing Xu Yiyu had not expected.

"I came here with a mysterious mission, and I can tell you directly about the executor chosen for this mission."

Li Rong's gaze fell on Xu Yiyu with ease, and his next words were about to come out.

"——The executor we have chosen for this mission is you."

"Chairman of Tianyu Holdings Group, Xu Yiyu."
