Chen Jin knew very well that the meaning of Zhang Dongyang's words was obvious, that he was blatantly pulling her in and trying to put herself in his position.
In Zhang Dongyang's heart, Xiao Chen, as a eunuch and had been lobbying Chen Jin, belonged to his side.
Since he knows who Chen Jin is, he naturally hopes that with Xiao Chen's strength and talent, he can stand on the side of justice.
Just the moment their eyes crossed, Xiao Chen was made a little embarrassed by the other party's sincere gaze.
He stood up and slowly landed at the door, and said very freely: "Master Zhang, I don't have any ideals or ambitions."
"I do know some martial arts, but unfortunately it's light kung fu. I just want to run faster when encountering danger."
"Compared with what you mentioned, I think that enjoying the wind and the moon, leaning on the railing and listening to music, these are the most suitable for me as a person."
While sighing, Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head and smiled a bit meanly: "Master Zhang, do you like this? Although I have no life, you are quite popular in Yihongyuan!"
He blinked and hinted: "Will you give me a recommendation then?"
One sentence made Zhang Dongyang feel a little embarrassed and angry, "I am an honest and upright official, and I have the wind on my sleeves. How could such a thing happen to me!"
Seeing his slightly unhappy look, Xiao Chen shrugged, "Yeah, I forgot that adults don't like it. It's really because I'm forcing myself to make things difficult for others."
He cupped his hands in a pretentious manner: "Please forgive me, sir."
Zhang Dongyang suddenly realized that he was not taking him to visit the brothel, he was clearly showing his attitude and hinting that he should not force others to do anything!
Zhang Dongyang refused very tactfully. His resistance to going to the brothel also showed the other party's attitude towards him.
Xiao Chen stared at him, his penetrating eyes seeming to say: I will not get involved in your internal conflicts and digest them myself. I just want to stay out of it and be content with myself!
Some words don’t need to be said out loud, but are naturally felt in the heart.
hehe……
Zhang Dongyang smiled slightly, his face not only disappointed but also a little depressed.
But what can be done?
Xiao Chen's main focus is to protect himself wisely. Even if he has to do things, he must be meticulous.
He didn't want to get involved in forming cliques for personal gain or forming cliques.
If anyone has the ability to give him face and ask him to do something, Xiao Chen will be happy to help.
But whether it's Chen Jin or Zhang Dongyang!
These people are fighting with each other, but there must be someone who maintains balance, and Xiao Chen is that person.
After looking outside, Xiao Chen no longer continued the stalemate with him.
Neither he nor Zhang Dongyang has achieved their goals. Since they can't reach an agreement, there is no need to continue talking.
Xiao Chen was the first to speak: "Master Zhang, now that the sun is setting on Xishan, little man, I will take my leave and visit you another day."
Zhang Dongyang suddenly raised his head, and the thousands of words stuck on his lips finally turned into a helpless sigh.
He stood up quickly: "Okay, I'll see you off."
The reason for the failure of the transaction was that Xiao Chen reminded him about the land annexation, which was also for his own sake.
Although Zhang Dongyang attaches great importance to that matter, he is not blind or brainless.
Since Xiao Chen could say that kind of thing, it was definitely not groundless. There was someone above him who he couldn't afford to offend.
But how can the road to justice be so smooth? Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, how will you know if you have the ability if you don't try hard?
He watched Xiao Chen's back leave, and the sadness in his heart turned into a lingering sigh as the sun set.
Xiao Chen didn't think about it that much. After all, if you follow your heart and do things, you won't regret it later.
But he had only taken a few steps when he saw a carriage parked in front of him.
The moment they saw Xiao Chen coming out, the people on the carriage jumped out.
The golden threads on his body looked particularly noble in the setting sun.
Without the submissiveness he had shown in front of Zhang Dongyang before, he walked towards Xiao Chen head-on in the wind.
Falling in front of him, he bowed with a slightly respectful attitude.
Xiao Chen just nodded slightly at him, still wondering why this guy hasn't left yet?
I have been chatting with Zhang Dongyang for half an hour. He won't just stay here...
Looking at Jin Guangyao, he saw that the other person's smile was bright, but there was also a hint of hypocrisy.
Probably due to accumulated experience over time, he hid his true emotions very well, but it was hard to tell what his specific thoughts were.
Jin Guangyao said generously, "Director Xiao, it's better to see once than to hear a hundred times."
"I have long heard of your reputation as a master of strategy, talent, political integrity, and noble conduct. When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary!"
This flattery is different from professional households!
Xiao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, but responded politely: "So, you are waiting here specially?"
"That's not true!"
Jin Guangyao slapped his leg: "Actually, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have been troubled by trivial matters since I first took office, and I can't spare the time."
"Now that I have an opportunity, I can't miss it easily!"
He leaned close to Xiao Chen and smiled teasingly: "Master Xiao, I have long heard that you like to listen to music and dance."
"Isn't this a coincidence? Our Jin family happens to have a music studio and a light dance studio in the capital. If Governor Xiao likes it, can I host it today and have some fun?"
His suggestive eyes were almost wired, "It's no exaggeration to say that there have been several beautiful girls there recently. They are all stunningly beautiful and good at singing and dancing. What they are best at is serving people~"
Qingwufang, why does this place sound familiar?
Oh, I remembered...
Isn't it the famous brothel in Beijing?
He is good at talking and packaging, a brothel and a music studio.
Even if two people went there and were caught, he could confidently say that they were going to the music studio without ruining his reputation.
As far as emotional intelligence is concerned, this is really admirable.
He glanced at Jin Guangyao slightly, his expression was gloomy, but he showed an extremely confident attitude.
Everyone in the capital doesn't know that even though Xiao Chen is a "eunuch", his nature is greedy for money and lustful.
If you do what you like, you will definitely get what you want!
He is so confident. If he refuses, will it be a bit disrespectful?
Xiao Chen curled his lips thoughtfully, "It's hard to refuse kindness. Since it is your property, I naturally want to support you."
"Do you mind if I bring one more person?"
Jin Guangyao was quite happy: "But I can't ask for it, hahaha!"
As long as we can gain Xiao Chen's connections and give the Jin family another backing, it will be worth it even if it means clearing the place for him!
Under Jin Guangyao's enthusiastic invitation, Xiao Chen got on the carriage. When passing by his blessed place, he called Wei Zhongxian, who was also enjoying himself, to follow him.
The carriage is large, and it is not crowded for three people.
It's just... Jin Guangyao really talks a lot, and his mouth is more broken than glass shards, and some people's ears are almost calloused!
