Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 319: The Path to Longevity in the Ledger

Su Ming returned to the stone table, took out his identity token from his robe, and retrieved a green jade slip recording his private accounts.

Under the lamplight, the young man's gaze became exceptionally focused. His fingers lightly traced over the jade slip, causing lines of data to surface.

When dealing with outsiders, Su Ming naturally wouldn't be polite.
