Su Tian saw the general's wife change her face in a second, and her soft and kind expression suddenly took on an angular edge.
Maybe it's because of differences between people and groups. How could Yu Wensheng's wife really be a little white rabbit without any scheming.
Su Tian gathered up the hanging sleeves of his robe, and the straight lines of his neck and spine slowly curved downward, forming a submissive and sincere arc.
He said: "Zhang Shaodong's family told me about my wife, whether it was her own ability, or her bravery in standing up to defend her husband's military power, or even how she, as a woman, braved all difficulties to open up a new path. Regarding the new trade route, I deeply admire my wife for daring to think and do it, and for having the strength to do it."
"I came here voluntarily, because I also want to take advantage of my current body, which is not yet old, to fight hard and see what I can do. In my heart, I am not reconciled to everything now. , however, the Zhang family, which has already become the largest businessman in Nanbian, has no chance for me to continue to climb the ladder, so I plan to seize this time."
"Zhang Shaodong's family has terminated the contract with me. From now on, Su Tian is no longer a member of the Zhang family. Don't worry, Madam. From now on, I will try my best to assist Madam in handling some accounting matters. As long as Madam is useful, Su Tian Tian, if you think highly of Su Tian, you can leave it to me."
Su Tian was smart enough to guess what Zheng Quchi was worried about when he asked, so he made his thoughts and loyalty clear.
Although if you think about his "loyalty" more carefully, it is more loyal to his own inner choice than to Zheng Quchi.
If other owners heard that their subordinates were so independent and wild-minded, they would rather have a loyal servant with a slightly dumber brain than have to worry about whether they have led a wolf into the house one day.
But Zheng Quchi was different.
First of all, she herself is not educated in the traditional thinking of this world. She has not yet accepted that class exploitation and slavery are normal. She believes that working part-time is a mutual pursuit between the company and its employees.
Enterprises need talents who can do practical things, and talents come to enterprises to pursue careers and make money, not to offer loyalty and love.
If you can provide enough value to my business, then I will naturally give you the same reward.
After Su Tian said these words, he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart. On impulse, he showed his true arrogant side. Perhaps this is a common problem among arrogant people. They don't bother to hide that they are not accepted by others. On the other hand, they go around in circles, but they are actually looking for someone who can accept this side of them.
Even the most open-minded Zhang Shaodong's family did not fully accept his idea. He knew that the other party introduced him to the general's wife. On the one hand, they thought he could help get the general's wife. On the other hand, they probably thought he was too difficult to control. Yu Gao Yu Gao's position was not suitable, so he left his problem directly to the general's wife.
What about the general's wife?
Would someone as special as her, such a strange woman who dared to challenge the world, be absolutely obedient and obedient to her Majesty's demands?
Zheng Quchi thought for a moment, and then said: "I trust Zhang Shaodong's family, so I also trust Mr. Su who was recommended by him. Since you think you have a future in our workshop, you trust me and my craftsmen." Division, since this is the case, let’s win together, and I wish us a happy relationship in the future.”
Su Tian saw that there was no trace of gloom in the general's wife's eyes, but a look of openness and openness. He didn't know if she understood what he meant, so he bowed hesitantly: "...Su Tian will definitely do his best."
Zheng Quchi curled his lips, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "Stand up, Su Tian, you can use your talents here. As you can see, we are all a group of craftsmen who only know how to work hard. If my temple was small, I would never force you to keep this big Buddha, but I believe you will choose to keep it, because I think you will never meet an enlightened owner like me in the future."
Su Tian looked at the general's wife in shock.
"lady……"
Zheng Quchi looked at him seriously and said, "I have always admired those who have their own ideas and dare to express them.
, I pay you, you just go ahead and do whatever you can within the scope of your ability. If you do well, you will get a promotion and a salary increase. We are not a master-servant relationship. I will not restrict you in everything. Do you have any opinions or suggestions? You can make any suggestions, but you have to remember one thing, I——" She pointed at herself, her eyes changed in an instant: "I can't accept betrayal."
Su Tian was actually not used to the way the general's wife talked to him, because in his mind, the general's wife should be a more powerful and capable person than the Zhang family. The businessman's status in Ye country was not high. Except for money, everything else he owned But very few.
But such a lady always communicated with him in an equal way. She was not condescending, nor was she dismissive or indifferent. She was telling him clearly.
I recommend talents here regardless of preference or closeness, and I will not suppress or prejudice anyone who dares to recommend or refute. As long as you are right, as long as you can do practical things, we can do it in a reciprocal manner. Communicate.
The more Su Tian thought about it, the harder it became to calm down. His eyes were shining brightly. Although he had a thousand words to say, he opened his mouth, but in the end he only said four words: "Su Tian understands."
Zheng Quchi chatted with him for a while, discussed some opinions of both sides, and drew a bottom line that should not be crossed in advance. She asked hesitantly: "By the way, have your young masters told you that we are still issuing Can’t afford the monthly payment…”
Su Tian was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but smile. He looked at the general's wife and said, "The young master didn't say it, but Su Tian saw it."
"Hehehe..." Zheng Quchi laughed awkwardly: "Yeah, really? I just said that Mr. Su's eyesight is different from ordinary people."
How does this come out? !
Has the aura of poverty exuded by their workshop reached a point where anyone with a discerning eye can recognize it at a glance?
Realizing that the general's wife was a true-hearted person, Su Tian no longer concealed her true nature. He joked: "But I believe that when my wife makes money in the future, she will make up for all the monthly arrears. Is it right?"
Zheng Quchi vowed: "Of course, when I make money, I will make up for your monthly payment first!"
"That's no problem." He was very talkative.
"...Do you really think you have a better future than staying at Zhang's store with a boss like this who can't even pay you monthly wages?" She couldn't help but ask him curiously.
Su Tian is also an avant-garde person. He said openly: "The difficulties in these things are only temporary, and there will always be ways to overcome them. But some things are difficult to change, such as one person's view of another person. Once it is deeply rooted in It is difficult to remove it from the human mind. I have tried hard, so I know how difficult it is, so I compromised and chose another easier path."
His words seemed to have different meanings, but they meant something. He seemed to be answering her words, and also seemed to be experiencing something.
One person's opinion of another person, once it is deeply ingrained in a person's mind, it is difficult to remove...
After listening to this, Zheng Quchi felt that it was like this. Instead of trying hard to change prejudices, it would be better to give up the wrong ones and choose a place without prejudices... She actually didn't quite believe it. There were really people in this world who would rather cling to "prejudices." , waiting for the day when the "change" flowers bloom.
Maybe, but why bother? I always feel that the final effort and reward are not treated.
——
To be honest, Su Tian's efficiency in doing things was really high. Within a few days, all the procedures were completed, and their workshop could be opened legally and compliantly.
Before starting work, Zheng Quchi also specially held a meeting of all craftsmen.
First of all, she revealed her identity to everyone and told them that she was their former colleague "A Qing". She did not hide or lie. She told them everything exactly, including the fact that she was once Sang Xuanqing.
It must be said that her "confession" this time directly shattered and reshaped their views.
I don’t know if she shocked them so much that now they all think it doesn’t matter whether “Ah Qing” is a boy or a girl.
The most important thing is that she is the general's wife, and she still got the "Aqing" who won the top prize in the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild". She can
To lead the rise of craftsmen like them from Ye State!
As for other things, it is no longer important.
It really doesn’t matter anymore, because they saw the design draft of the truck “Black Bear”.
Their general's wife is simply a master craftsman and extremely productive. The "Panlong" carriage in front of them is enough for them to make money for a lifetime. Now a "Black Bear" horse-drawn carriage comes. They are so excited to have such a horse-drawn carriage. Cheers for the craftsman general’s wife!
As for the cowardice they had received because of "Sang Xuanqing" earlier, they could not remember it at all now.
After the meeting with the craftsmen in the camp, she thought that all the things she was anxious to do were done. She had been out for several days, so she rode back to Hegou Village to see Brother Sang and Yaomei Sang. .
But when she returned home, she found that Brother Sang and the others were not there.
Where will they go at this time?
She tied up the horse and ran to the village to look for it. Finally, a salesman returned to the village and told her that his elder brother had taken her younger sister towards the county earlier.
"Going to the county?" She looked at the sky. It was already Yin time, and it would be dark in more than an hour. Why haven't Big Brother and the others come back yet?
"Yes, it seems to me that your little sister has a headache and keeps screaming. Your eldest brother is lame and still carrying her. You should go to the county to have a look."
Zheng Quchi became anxious upon hearing this: "Oh, okay."
She didn't have time to think about it and ran away. Another sentence floated from a distance: "Thank you, brother——"
The salesman suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered something. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "By the way, your brother seemed to have rescued a girl some time ago. You have to persuade your brother not to bring anyone home." , Our county has not been peaceful recently, alas, the second sister of the Sang family, did you hear that?"
"..."
The person ran far away and didn't hear anything at all.
——
Zheng Quchi hurried home, got on her horse, and ran towards Fu County. Since she learned to ride a horse, she has used four legs instead of two.
By the time she arrived at Fu County, the sunset had already dyed a large part of the city wall red. She had been frequently traveling to Fu County recently to do business, and was now quite familiar with Fu County. She was not as confused as she was at the beginning.
She thought that her little sister had a headache, and her eldest brother must have brought someone to see a doctor. She first went to a well-known medical clinic to inquire, but the people at the hospital said that they had never seen a lame man bring a little girl with a headache.
So, her eldest brother has never been to this medical clinic at all.
She made another trip to the nearby pharmacies and inquired, but still couldn't find anyone.
She was really anxious now.
The little girl is sick, but the eldest brother didn't go to the hospital or pharmacy to see a doctor, so where did he go? Or did he have an accident?
She planned to continue searching, but she unexpectedly encountered a group of patrolling officers and soldiers blocking her way. They specially intercepted some young women in the city, and then brought them to the bulletin board to check the pictures one by one to find out the details.
At this moment, he happened to stop her.
Zheng Quchi had known about this for a long time, and also knew that they were secretly looking for Princess Sheng'an. In order not to interfere with official duties, she had no objection and let them go.
Anyway, when the portraits are compared and the two faces are inconsistent, they will naturally let him go.
When she went there, there was already a small queue of people in front of the bulletin board. She was guarded and walked over to quietly queue up. After a while, people came behind her.
She thought it was just a simple comparison of faces, but she never expected that the city guard in charge of the investigation opened his mouth and asked: "Name, age, household registration? Who is in the family?"
There are also more than ten volumes of household registration rolls on his desk, presumably to check the authenticity of the information reported by the other party. Locals are all on it. If they are outsiders, they have to show customs clearance documents and road guides to verify their identity.
Therefore, it is not feasible to make random claims or pretend to be false.
She was about to answer, but suddenly she thought of something very fatal.
"..."
She can no longer take the name "Sang Xuanqing" because
Because "Sang Xuanqing" is a man, she can only give her the name "Zheng Quchi". However, this name is no longer confidential and seems to be quite loud. Should she give it...
"Why don't you speak?"
The city guard waited for a long time, and when he saw that she was silent, he frowned suspiciously.
She hesitated and said: "I..."
The city guard also had a short temper. When he saw her hesitating like this, he became suspicious. He jumped up and said, "What do you mean? You don't even know your own name? Don't you dare to report it? Arrest her!"
Zheng Quchi stared and scratched her head, she was still anxious to find her brother and sister.
She no longer hesitated and said directly: "I am Zheng Quchi!"
Zheng Quchi?
Having said that, the name Zheng Quchi is quite familiar...
Oops!
Isn't this the name of the general's wife?
However, the city guard had long been suspicious of her and didn't even believe a word she said. He looked at Zheng Quchi, who was dressed like a village girl when she came home, and sneered: "Hey, if you were the general's wife, I’m still a general! Why don’t you hurry up and arrest this suspicious person and send him to the county prison first!”
"...I am not the person you are looking for. Look, I am not the same person as the woman in the painting!" Zheng Quchi continued to argue.
If you don’t believe that she is the general’s wife, you have to believe that she is not Princess Sheng’an, right?
This evidence is posted on the bulletin board.
"Of course you are not the person we are looking for on the bulletin board. You have unknown origins and are secretive. I would suspect that you are one of those bandits who came in to get information!"
