Su Xiqing naturally understood Zhao Junchen's hint!
If he can successfully complete the tasks assigned by Zhao Junchen, then he will become Zhao Junchen's aide in the palace!
As the saying goes, "The seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door"! Although today's Zhao Junchen is not the prime minister of the DPRK - in fact, the Ming Dynasty also abolished the position of prime minister - but as the second-grade household minister, the minister in charge of the internal transportation warehouse, and the director of the West Factory, he is deeply loved by Deqing. The emperor's favor is not much worse than that of the prime minister!
And if Su Xiqing can become Zhao Junchen's confidant, then let alone a seventh-grade official, even if he meets a fifth-grade or fourth-grade official in the future, he can be treated as an equal!
For a down-and-out master like Su Xiqing, this is nothing short of reaching the sky in one step!
…………
Therefore, Su Xiqing's expression was full of excitement, and even the whiskers at the corners of her mouth began to tremble. She assured Zhao Junchen in the most determined tone in her life: "Please don't worry, sir! I will rush to Yangzhou without stopping tomorrow morning." ! When you accompany me on my southern tour, I will never let you down!"
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "It's good that you have this determination, but you don't have to be too anxious to leave. If nothing else happens, the apricot list for the test will be announced tomorrow morning. Then you can follow me to meet someone first. .【Read the full text】"
Su Xiqing was slightly startled, and seeing Zhao Junchen's indifferent expression, he asked carefully: "May I ask, sir, who do you want me to accompany you to meet?"
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "I once had a chance encounter with a candidate who failed in the general examination. If everything goes well tomorrow, he will work with you in the future! Although I am very optimistic about him, he has little experience after all. , so after he enters Zhao Mansion, he still needs more guidance from you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Su Xiqing left with excitement, only Zhao Junchen, Xu Qingyan, and Chu Jiayi were left in the study.
in. Xu Qingyan stopped talking, Chu Jiayi was thoughtful, but Zhao Junchen suddenly sighed softly, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
Hear Zhao Junchen sigh. Chu Jiayi, who was waiting aside, was confused and asked: "Master, why are you sighing? But you are not satisfied with Su Xiqing? I think he answered very well."
Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and said: "This Su Xiqing is smart, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and has ancestral experience. He can be regarded as a talented staff member, so it is suitable to be accepted as a staff member. It's a pity. After all, the city government is a bit shallow... When he first met me, he acted too flustered. He didn't know where to go, which made it easier for people to see the truth. But after he got my hint, he acted too excited. He was only thinking about the bright future, but Even the most important thing has been forgotten. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for the time being. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and no one is perfect, so let's make do with it first."
Chu Jiayi couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Su Xiqing has forgotten the most important thing? I am ignorant, but I don't know what is so important?"
Zhao Junchen smiled, took out a secret letter from the folder at hand, waved it and said, "This is it!"
"This is……?"
"This is a secret letter I wrote to the Zhao family clan in Yangzhou. The letter states Su Xiqing's identity and purpose, and instructs the Zhao family clan to follow Su Xiqing's instructions! The relationship between me and the Zhao family clan... although it is not There is no harmony, but those people are my relatives after all. Now as my status in the court becomes higher and higher, they rely on this relationship to become more and more focused on the local area. If Su Xiqing did not carry this secret letter , how can the Zhao family take him seriously after arriving in Yangzhou? It would be better if they would not drive him out as a liar, let alone follow his orders. "
At this point, Zhao Junchen shook his head again and continued: "It's a pity that after hearing my hint, Su Xiqing only thought about the bright prospects after completing the goal, but completely ignored how to complete the goal. For this alone, he is unqualified!
A qualified counselor and staff, in addition to the most basic skills of a copywriter and writer, also needs some excellent long-term insights and vision, some cautious and calm thoughts and city management, and the ability to execute some specific plans. But according to my observation just now , although this Su Xiqing's writing skills are fully qualified, and he is not lacking in knowledge and vision, his mind and city are really lacking. And I sent him to Yangzhou this time to see how well he can execute. If he is still unqualified, then he will I'd better go and stay in the accounting room. "
Unexpectedly, Zhao Junchen thought so thoroughly. A complicated thought flashed in Chu Jiayi's eyes. After a moment of silence, she asked again: "In that case, why didn't you remind him? Knowing that he went to Yangzhou like this." If you don’t achieve the target, don’t you give him this secret letter?”
"People always have a deeper impression after they have learned a lesson. If I give him this secret letter now, how can he remember the lesson?" Zhao Junchen said lightly: "I don't know how to write this secret letter. I will take the initiative to hand it to him, but it depends on when he will wake up. If he still fails to think of this relationship when he leaves Beijing, I will give this secret letter to the spies of Xichang and let the spies of Xichang follow him secretly. He went to Yangzhou and waited until he was rejected in Yangzhou before handing it over to him. By that time, I think he had learned a lesson and remembered it deeply, and he would not be so lacking in consideration in his actions in the future."
"My master is wise." Chu Jiayi sighed softly and said with an increasingly complicated look in her eyes.
…………
The closer she gets to Zhao Junchen, the more Chu Jiayi feels that Zhao Junchen's intelligence, vision, and city are all extraordinary, and his plans and actions are all unfathomable. What's even more rare is that although Zhao Junchen is young, Dezhi, but usually has a calm temperament and is kind to others. He is not at all like the short-sighted and corrupt official Chu Jiayi imagined.
Such Zhao Junchen always makes Chu Jiayi have some admiration and even more complicated thoughts inadvertently.
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen is indeed a corrupt official!
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen was framed by her adoptive father's biggest enemy!
It's a pity that she and Zhao Junchen. They are destined to be enemies in this life!
"You are a beautiful woman, but why am I a thief..."
Chu Jiayi thought secretly.
Then, Chu Jiayi shook her head and threw away the complicated thoughts in her heart.
Chu Jiayi thought that she should not have such thoughts. Her purpose of being with Zhao Junchen was just to steal secrets and hand them over to Prince Zhu Heyu, so as to bring down Zhao Junchen. Avenge her adoptive father!
That's all.
Other thoughts are more just out of weakness.
…………
Zhao Junchen didn't know Chu Jiayi's complicated thoughts at this time. In fact, Zhao Junchen didn't care about Chu Jiayi's thoughts. He kept Chu Jiayi by his side just to use Chu Jiayi to ask Prince Zhu. He Yu was just sending some wrong news.
Chu Jiayi did not understand Zhao Junchen, but after getting along with each other these days, Zhao Junchen understood Chu Jiayi.
In Zhao Junchen's view, although Chu Jiayi wanted to take revenge, it was because of her nature. But he completely lacks the extreme temperament required by an avenger - the determination to achieve his goal at the expense of everything. It is completely impossible for Chu Jiayi.
In addition, although Chu Jiayi is lurking next to Zhao Junchen. But he has no talent at all to become a spy or spy, so Zhao Junchen's evaluation of Chu Jiayi is only "not a threat at all. But it can be used".
Therefore, Zhao Junchen doesn't care what Chu Jiayi thinks.
but. Zhao Junchen was very concerned about Xu Qingyan's thoughts.
This is not only because Xu Qingyan has followed Zhao Junchen for many years and has a deep relationship with each other; it is also because Xu Qingyan is Zhao Junchen’s errand boy. Zhao Junchen has many things that need to be carried out by Xu Qingyan, so in many cases, Zhao Junchen must let Xu Qingyan Understand what you really think so that you don't make mistakes.
Therefore, while talking to Chu Jiayi, Zhao Junchen laughed and shook his head when he saw Xu Qingyan looking like he wanted to speak, and said: "Ever since Su Xiqing entered the study, you have looked like you wanted to interrupt, but you kept saying Hold it in, it’s really hard for you. If I don’t let you speak now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep tonight, right? If you have any ideas, tell me.”
After Xu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, he finally said: "Master, I know you never believe this, but Su Xiqing's family has a saying of 'killing the master' since his father. The officials he assists are either dismissed from office or imprisoned. This has happened continuously Four or five times, it sounds really evil! Master, if you plan to recruit him as your staff now, aren't you afraid..."
Zhao Junchen laughed again, thinking that Xu Qingyan would say something, but it turned out that he was frightened by Su Xiqing's slander of "killing the master".
Before Zhao Junchen could explain, Chu Jiayi had already said: "The theory of destiny is so illusory, how can you believe it? Xu Qingyan, you are overthinking it. Don't disturb the young master's plan because of this kind of thing."
In fact, Chu Jiayi still has some faith in the theory of destiny, but because of this, Chu Jiayi wants to keep Su Xiqing by Zhao Junchen's side, and hopes that Su Xiqing can really defeat the master.
Xu Qingyan could naturally see Chu Jiayi's little thoughts, and just as he was about to retort, Zhao Junchen said: "I really don't believe in the theory of fate, not to mention that even if the theory of fate is true, Su Xiqing If I really have the fate of being a 'King Lord', I won't really be defeated by him. If I am really defeated by him, it only means that my destiny is not strong enough. Even if I am not defeated by Su Xi, I will be defeated by someone else sooner or later. If that’s the case, why should you care?”
Xu Qingyan hesitated and said: "If Su Xiqing is really a great talent, then it is worth taking some risks. But according to you, young master, this Su Xiqing is completely unimportant, so why should we take such risks for him? We are not God, maybe the theory of fate will really work?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "I just said that Su Xiqing cannot be reused for the time being. He does lack some depth and caution, but these can be tempered. What's more, no one is perfect, how can a perfect counselor be so good? We still need to train him. What's more, I haven't decided to recruit him as a staff member. Everything depends on the results of his trip to Yangzhou. If the execution is good, it means that he is worth training. If the execution is not good, then He can only continue to work as an accountant in the mansion, that's all, but it has nothing to do with his destiny."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen sighed: "Talents are hard to find, but if you are patient, you can cultivate them. There are too few staff who fully meet my requirements, and everything is difficult at the beginning. Let's be patient and take our time... ...Moreover, the talents you cultivated by yourself can at least be used with peace of mind..."
