"An officer?" Zhang Liliang was startled, then joy quickly flooded his face. "I–I'm really up to it?"
"Why wouldn't you be? Uncle Zhang, you're talented in business. The officials in charge of economic trade in the Imperial Court can't just be bookworms—they need real skill in this field." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. "Once you have official status, you'll get a government salary, and in the future it'll be easier for Rongrong to talk when it comes to marriage."
Uncle Zhang's whole face blossomed with joy. "Ruozhu, thank you so much. Since you say I can do it, I'll work hard and never embarrass you."
Seeing how happy he was, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help feeling happy too. Her whole reason for living this life again was to make sure her family and friends lived better, wasn't it? Uncle Zhang had helped her so much; now that there was a suitable opportunity, she naturally ought to think of a way to help him in return.
