When he arrived he was alone, but when he left he was surrounded by beautiful women. This matter has spread.
Jin Guangyao confirmed repeatedly. Even though he got the same answer, he still couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
"What on earth is this Xiao Chen doing? Is he trying to be a good guy and take over the eight major aristocratic families?"
The good thing about Xiao Chen is that he doesn't reject anyone who comes.
Jin Guangyao was restless, but the butler next to him didn't understand why: "Sir, that Xiao Chen is greedy and lustful, so it is reasonable for him to be tempted by interests."
"Anyway, he has received your benefits and is considered a member of your side, so why should you care about anything else?"
Jin Guangyao glared at him and scolded him mercilessly: "Stupid!"
"If it's just ordinary people trying to fawn over him, that's fine. But there are several other big families who are trying their best to court him. What do you think they are looking for?"
The steward thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Profit?"
Isn’t that it?
He himself wanted to use Xiao Chen's help to raise the Jin family's status among the eight aristocratic families.
As it turned out, the other families had sharper noses than dogs, and Xiao Chen wanted to accept anyone who came, so what could he do to compete with those aristocratic families?
He suddenly turned around in fear and asked, "By the way, is there any news from Yu Luo?"
The housekeeper said quickly: "There is some news, I was just about to tell you."
He took out a note from his sleeve, "She asked someone to deliver this to our secret sentry."
When I opened it, there was nothing more than news about some chambers of commerce.
The more Jin Guangyao looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened, "Where is the shop? How many guys are there? They are managed by category..."
There was a loud "bang" sound.
He pressed the piece of paper heavily on the table, "These are all nonsense clues!"
"I asked her to find out the secrets and find out how Xiao Chen Chamber of Commerce really makes money. These things are of no use."
The housekeeper was startled and quickly advised: "Sir, please calm down. Xiao Chen is a smart person, I'm afraid he has to take his time."
Jin Guangyao sneered: "Take your time?"
"Several other major families have already taken action. How much time do you think they will leave us?"
His chest rose and fell violently, as if he was holding a ball of fire that was about to burst out at any moment.
The housekeeper beat his head and did not dare to say anything.
Jin Guangyao was as anxious as hot, and the ants on the pot were pacing back and forth, frowning and muttering: "Nowadays, Zhang Dongyang is like a copper and iron wall, which is difficult to conquer, while Chen Jin is placed beside the emperor and lives in the palace forever. There is a lot of traffic in the middle."
"Now, after all calculations, there is only one Xiao Chen who can be used by us."
"I just didn't expect that, even though he is young, he is more cunning and cunning than those old foxes in the sky!"
Jin Guangyao's voice was loud and indignant. He sat on his back and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
The housekeeper also has a headache. He must suffer when he is angry.
Shrinking his neck, he forced himself to speak again: "My lord, as long as you can grasp the opponent's handle, you won't be afraid that he will lose control!"
As of now, that's all it can do.
Jin Guangyao suppressed the depression in his heart, supported his head with his hands and sighed softly: "That's it, continue to keep a close eye on Xiao Chen."
"There is no impermeable wall in the world. Even if he has this in his mind, he will always reveal his flaws inadvertently. I don't believe that I can't control him!"
Mentioning this, his face suddenly became gentler, and the corners of his lips were raised high: "As long as we take hold of his handle and control him, we can use him to deal with Zhang Dongyang and replace him as the left prime minister."
"At that time, all the power will be under my control, and all the wealth in the world will come to my Jin family. At the same time, the Jin family will quickly become the first of the eight aristocratic families and become the most prestigious existence in the capital!"
After all, although I am also the prime minister now, I am just a decoration and have no real power.
Only after defeating Zhang Dongyang could I take his place.
To do all this, you must have a right-hand assistant, and Xiao Chen is the best candidate!
It seems that he has encountered that beautiful scene, and a burst of open-hearted laughter echoes in the air.
…
Time flies, and the night ends in a blink of an eye.
In the East Factory, Xiao Chen was still busy dealing with recent trivial matters and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
To say that Chu Yanwu had nothing to do, he wanted to ask him to go to the palace to take advantage of his position to help people bring goods and make money.
We are already surrounded, but we are not allowed to bring anything with us?
Besides, he himself didn't let Chen Jin annex the land, but he actually had the nerve to care about it.
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?
After complaining about everything, you have to work hard again.
But at this moment, the candlelight beside the table shook violently.
It seemed as if a gust of wind was blowing past me, sending chills down my spine.
Xiao Chen suddenly raised his head, with a solemn face, staring at the dark corner in the darkness that was not illuminated by the light, and shouted sternly: "Who is that person!"
"Don't be nervous, Governor Xiao, it's me."
A figure slowly came out, and the dim candlelight hit half of his handsome face.
Xiao Chen was slightly surprised: "Yun Zhonghe?"
His eyes turned slightly, and there was an old lady beside him, who looked very old.
Xiao Chen instantly realized that Yun Zhonghe was here to complete his mission.
He immediately stood up and sent away those who were guarding the door.
After confirming that there was no one else, Xiao Chen quickly approached the old eunuch and looked him over and over again.
According to Wei Zhongxian, this old eunuch is a lunatic.
But his eyes are clear and penetrating, and his face is straight. There is no madness in him, but he can feel a hint of unfathomable shrewdness in the other person.
The old eunuch's eyes flashed slightly, and when he met his gaze, his withered lips spoke first: "If you have anything you want to ask, sir, we might as well talk to you alone."
Yun Zhonghe understood: "Then I'll go out first, and then come in after you have negotiated."
He turned to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Chen: "You have worked hard tonight, just stay here to drink tea and have snacks."
Xiao Chen took the old eunuch to the study alone, where there was a little secretary.
After pressing the button slightly, the two walked in, and the surroundings were quiet.
We came to a wide space surrounded by several bookshelves, two tables, a desk and a few chairs.
Although it was a bit drab and plain, the old eunuch showed a happy smile: "Director Xiao is really a cautious person."
The two sat down and Xiao Chen poured him a glass of wine.
After taking a sip, the old eunuch was satisfied and said, "I haven't tasted such delicious food in a long time."
After breathing a sigh of relief, he said calmly: "If you have any questions, just ask."
Xiao Chen asked the question he had been confused about for a long time without thinking: "Why did you help me before?"
The old eunuch scratched his head and his eyes began to roll around: "Well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I will..."
