Wang Qing tilted his head and looked at the housekeeper, narrowing his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"Could it be that he was my grandpa's rival during his lifetime?"
In the past, Wang Qing had seen business wars between some companies on the news, such as "watering down the other company's money tree" and "secretly pulling out the other company's network cable."
Unexpectedly, this kind of thing would actually happen to me.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.
He quietly stared at Wang Qing, who only reached his chest in front of him.
Under the moonlight, the girl's shadow fell on the ground, a blurry mass with no discernible shape. She had a plain face, long dark hair spread over her shoulders, and her exposed skin was so white that almost no trace of blood could be seen.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, or if the moonlight tonight is too cold.
The girl's snow-like skin vaguely showed a faint blue-gray sheen.
The butler lowered his eyelids, laughed softly, and said in a low voice: "No matter what the other party's purpose is, I will eliminate the crisis for you."
Wang Qing looked up at the housekeeper, and after a long while, he finally choked out a sentence.
"Uh... the salary my grandpa offers you must be very high, right?"
After all, the housekeeper looks like an elite and knows much more about the farm than the useless farmer like himself.
Moreover, before she said anything just now, he was eager to show his loyalty.
It must have been his grandfather who recruited him after offering him a ridiculously high salary that ordinary people couldn't afford.
Wang Qing was a little worried, worried that he would not be able to pay such a high salary in the future.
"Actually, Mr. Wang did not offer me a very high salary. My salary comes from the farm's profit dividends." The housekeeper looked at Wang Qing and said calmly, "You don't have to worry about not being able to pay my salary."
"I once received the favor from Mr. Wang. He helped me finish college and study abroad."
"So - Ms. Wang, even if it is to repay his kindness, I will help you become the only owner of this farm."
Wang Qing felt a little embarrassed after saying this.
"Then you... are quite nice."
After all, there are too few people who repay kindness these days.
The farm is visibly poor, and it will probably take a long time before it can make a profit.
And with such a high level of professionalism as a housekeeper, he should be able to earn a lot of money if he works elsewhere, right?
Sure enough, she is still too utilitarian.
Wang Qing sincerely confessed in his heart.
"As long as you are willing to trust me." The butler smiled.
Wang Qing nodded: "Of course I still trust you."
The note her grandpa left for her said she could trust the housekeeper.
What's more, apart from trusting the housekeeper, she couldn't seem to find a more suitable person to help her manage the farm.
If she pays a high price and hires someone, it's hard to say whether he can be as professional as a housekeeper, and the salary is not something she can afford.
The butler took the severed finger and left.
Wang Qing returned to the dormitory alone.
Bai Menglu and Xiao Lin had already taken a shower. When they saw Wang Qing coming back, they didn't ask her anything.
After all, big guys can come back from a place like the office unscathed.
It was not their turn to worry about her safety.
After the girl died in the bathroom yesterday, everyone followed the rules when taking a shower tonight.
There were no more deaths in the bathroom.
After checking that there was no problem with the bed, everyone went to bed as usual.
Before going to bed, some people reviewed the details of today and made a more accurate judgment on the rules.
There are also some people who are worried about how to spend the next day safely.
After Bai Menglu confirmed that nothing happened to Wang Qing, she was briefly happy and then began to worry about herself.
After all, she knew very well that without better tools, eight hours would not be enough to clean up such a large lawn by herself.
She looked at Wang Qing and hesitated whether to ask Wang Qing for help.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the dormitory corridor.
A young girl in her twenties stood outside the door and kept knocking on the door.
"Let me in! Let me in!"
But the door in front of her was closed.
The people inside pressed their backs hard against the door, refusing to let her in.
"You can sleep in another dormitory tonight."
From behind the door, a trembling female voice came out, with a hint of subtle fear in her voice.
Bai Menglu walked to the window and looked out through the window.
There was only that girl in the corridor.
Other dormitories, like that dormitory, have their doors tightly closed.
No one was willing to come out of the dormitory, and no one was willing to speak out for that girl.
Bai Menglu recognized that the girl's name was Xu Youyou, and she was the one who didn't come back during dinner tonight except Wang Qing.
No one knows whether the girl who comes back is still her original self.
The knocking on the door became more urgent.
Xu Youyou stood at the door, panic visible to the naked eye.
"I really just worked overtime."
"It's so late. I have to take a shower and go to bed. Please let me in."
"I don't want to break the rules, please."
Behind the door, there was a person who couldn't bear it and wanted to open the door.
Another person quickly stopped her and persuaded her: "Think clearly, if she is really weird and fake, if she comes in, something will happen to both of us."
Then he said to Xu Youyou outside: "There is still an empty dormitory, you can go and live there."
Xu Youyou was outside, so anxious that she cried.
"If I live alone, I will definitely break the rules. Please, please, don't let me live alone."
"Go and ask other dormitories if anyone is willing to live with you." The person at the door said.
No one in the dormitory dared to live with Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou knocked on the door one by one, asking everyone to stay in the same dormitory with her for one night, at least not to leave her alone.
But there was no response.
I knocked on three doors in succession, and there was silence behind each door.
She collapsed more and more, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Is she really a human?"
In other dormitories, people who had been watching the situation quietly could not help but become suspicious.
After all, it’s rare to see such vivid emotions in weird stories.
However, everyone was unsure and did not dare to open the door.
Xing Hongqin and Meng Fang were also unsure.
If they open the door and accept Xu Youyou, and Xu Youyou is indeed weird, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
But if no one opens the door to accept Xu Youyou, Xu Youyou dies.
Those who refuse to open the door tonight will definitely die.
They would think, "What if Xu Youyou is really a human?" "What if this happened to me?"
As a result, it is impossible to build trust in everyone around you.
Eventually everyone collapsed.
Just when most people are in a dilemma.
A door opened with a bang.
Wang Qing strode out of the dormitory and walked to Xu Youyou.
She grabbed Xu Youyou's hand and dragged her to the door of the dormitory where Xu Youyou originally lived.
"Open the door!"
"What you did is really too much!"
"We all came together for the internship. Maybe we can become colleagues in the future. Even if we have conflicts, we can sit down and have a good talk and let the conversation go."
"How can you isolate someone like this? Leave her alone in the corridor so late at night and don't let her in!"
Wang Qing was filled with indignation and fired a barrage of attacks.
Workplace bullying is absolutely not allowed on your own farm!
This kind of collective isolation of one person is really bad!
"..."
Inside the door, there was silence for a long time.
Finally, a voice sounded.
"If you weren't afraid, you could just live with her."
