The next day, Chen Nong came to work at Si Ye's house with a more obvious black circle. He was confused by the task list placed on the desk and the appointment of the chief editor of the document room.
Didn't he just come here to write an article? Why did he become the immediate boss of the entire Si Ye Clerical Department?
This promotion can no longer be described as a level jump, but a step to the top.
He looked at the Master with fear and fear, "Shouldn't this position belong to you, Master?"
The master said: "I work part-time, and I will have to go to a government school to teach. How can I have the time?"
"But..." Chen Nong wanted to say that he had no such experience at all.
The master patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "No one else can ask for this opportunity."
Chen Nong was convinced. He looked down at the literati at the desk and saw several pairs of envious eyes.
Chen Nong understood, gritting his teeth and admitting it, knowing in his heart that he had to bear this burden, and he had to bear it steadily. Otherwise, everything he did yesterday will be in vain, and everything he gained will be lost.
With the decision made, Chen Nong was full of fighting spirit, but when he really got into work, he realized how much trouble there was. One morning made this man who was so excited last night look even more depressed.
The only person he could complain to was Hu Fuzi. He mentioned to him the various problems in the design, distribution and writing of Night Travel News in the early stage, and he concluded that the biggest problem was the need to spend money.
Is Si Yefu rich?
A week ago, anyone who asked this question to anyone in Siye's house would get an answer: poor! So poor!
Ask this question again now, but the disciples of Si Ye Mansion cannot answer it well.
The supplies are definitely far greater than before, but real money and silver... still can't be taken out much.
The upfront investment to specifically set up a new department would certainly not be sufficient anyway.
If Chen Nong wants money, he has to apply to the accountant of Siye Mansion, and the accountant has to ask the person in charge of Siye Mansion.
Now everyone knows who is in charge of Si Ye Mansion, but it involves real money. Mr. Accountant went to ask Mi August what he meant just in case, and also passed the news to Shen Li.
The accountant thought that his behavior was secretive, but he didn't know that Shen Li's movements were all under Mi August's control.
She didn't mind the accountant's behavior of running away from both sides, and the other party did exactly what Mi August wanted him to do.
A whole box of real gold and silver was carried out from the old house, and after being accounted for by the accountant, it was sent to the clerk's room.
Fu'an, who was in charge of delivering the money, said to Chen Nong: "Master Mi said, Mr. Chen just lets go and does it. The money is enough."
When the box was opened, Chen Nong was also a man who had been rich. He was only briefly surprised before he calmed down, took a deep breath and said to Fu An, "Reply a word to Master Mi for me. Chen Ziwei will definitely live up to your trust."
Fu'an nodded and saluted him politely before leaving.
Nowadays, no one in Si Ye's house knows that Chen Nong has risen to the sky in one step. He has fallen into the eyes of Master Mi and has become another famous person after the young master.
Take the young master Feixue as an example. Mr. Chen, who is inconspicuous now, may become famous in the future, so he must be treated with caution.
The fact that Mi August spent a lot of money directly giving gold and silver to Chen Nong soon spread within Si Ye Mansion.
"Where did she get the money?" Liu Jinbao said, "When she bought the car and moved in, she said she had no money to pay the bill."
Shen Li and Liu Zhaocai were both lost in their thoughts, and no one responded to his words.
Liu Jinbao looked at the two of them, especially Liu Zhaocai, "Brother, you have something on your mind."
Hearing this, Shen Li also turned his head in the direction of Liu Zhaocai.
Liu Zhaocai struggled for a moment and said, "Director, in fact, since the night before, the whisper is no longer on my body."
"What!" Liu Jinbao stepped forward and asked anxiously, but Liu Zhaocai stopped him with his eyes.
Liu Jinbao looked at him and calmed down. Seeing Shen Li's expression as usual, he understood that the two of them were hiding something from him. When he thought that his two closest relatives were hiding secrets from him, Liu Zhaocai clenched his hands under his sleeves, "What's going on?"
Liu Zhaocai first confessed to Shen Li, "What the director said to Mr. Mi that day was actually overheard by me in a whisper." Then he turned to Yi Mian.
Liu Jinbao, who was forbearing, said: "You think we are deliberately deceiving you, but you don't know that the director and Mr. Mi have an agreement to disable the magic weapon to save lives. The director was tortured by the out-of-control magic weapon before, but he asked Mr. Mi to transfer this agreement to me. On the body."
Liu Jinbao was stunned and looked at Shen Li, whose eyes were covered with cloth.
Liu Zhaocai said: "Master Mi has great righteousness. He not only saved the director from the crisis, but also complied with the director's request."
Liu Jinbao whispered, "Maybe she is trying to use a trick."
Liu Zhaocai said: "Whether it was her greed or not, it cannot change the fact that she rescued the director and fulfilled the director's request."
Liu Jinbao was silent for a while, "That's what the director asked us that day." After another pause, he said, "Then what will we do next?"
Liu Zhaocai looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li said: "Go and invite... no, I, an idler, should go there myself."
…
After receiving the news, Mi August put down what he was doing and told the spirit of the house, "Have someone call Shen Lang over."
Before anyone came, she took out the [Artifact: Hundred Eyes] that had been kept in confinement since it was included in the Book of Good and Evil.
"Continue to be imprisoned, work for me to atone for your sins, and make sacrifices to heaven." Mi August said, "Choose one."
The fluffy ball trembles.
Mi August: "Open your eyes, choose one and blink once, choose two and blink twice."
Before she could say three, an eye opened in the fur ball and she blinked twice quickly.
Mi August's tone became gentle, "You are not my believer, and you may not listen to all my words. But as a sinful creature, you have to act in both ways during the atonement period, and I will not give you a second chance."
Maoxu trembled.
The reminder from the house spirit sounded, "Shen Lang and Shen Li have arrived at the gate."
Mi August nodded and picked up the wool ball, "I'll start working today to serve new customers."
…
Shen Lang and Shen Li came one after another but did not touch him.
The reason was that Shen Lang fell into a trap when he entered the house. Before he could ask for help, he was standing in an inner room.
There was a black stuffed ball on the table in the room, and the voice of the housekeeper of the old house that I heard many times recently sounded in the room, "Anjing is waiting here."
Shen Lang didn't dare to disobey and stood there obediently.
Soon he saw that the center of the furry ball suddenly opened, and then closed again, as if it could breathe and was deliberately attracting his attention.
Shen Lang was curious but still didn't move.
Baiyan:......
Crazy anxious.
At this time, Shen Lang heard the director's voice coming from outside.
"Master Mi."
"Director."
"...I'm here to say goodbye to Master Mi."
Shen Lang's expression changed drastically and he quickly walked to the door.
He reached out and pushed the door open, but it didn't budge.
Shen Lang remembered that this house was extraordinary, and no matter what he did, it would be in vain.
The voice from outside still came clearly, and he was mentioned in the topic.
outside room.
Mi August did not talk to Shen Li tactfully, "The director's current body is indeed not suitable for carrying the magic weapon anymore. I have chosen a new successor for Bai Yan, Shen Lang."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, "What does this successor mean..."
Mi August said: "Bai Yan is very clear to the Director of Effects, and it will make it easier for Shen Lang to manage Si Ye Mansion in the future."
This time Shen Li really didn't understand. He said bluntly: "Master Mi, don't you plan to take charge of Siye Mansion yourself?"
Mi August: "I'm not good at management."
Shen Li felt his face hurt, "I think Master Mi has been managing Siye Mansion very well these days."
Mi August shook his head, "I won't stay here long."
Shen Li, who had always thought that Mi August's intention was Si Ye's Mansion, observed these days and felt that Si Ye's Mansion with Mi August's presence not only did not deteriorate but was prosperous, he made up his mind that he could leave with peace of mind and completely give his position to Mi August. Make room to avoid causing dissatisfaction and suspicion in Mi August.
As a result, Mi August reported
Tell him that she doesn't intend to stay.
When Shen Li was absent-minded, Mi August chatted with him about the development plans behind Siye Mansion.
"Relying on night newspapers alone to popularize strange knowledge to the people is not comprehensive enough. I found that most of the people are illiterate. The private schools are only open to the children of the rich and powerful. The private schools are uneven and there are few children studying there. Including the disciples admitted by Siye Mansion We also practice martial arts and are poor at writing, and we can’t even recognize most of the characters.”
Shen Lang, who was one of the people who couldn't read large characters, blushed with embarrassment.
Shen Li was attracted by the topic, "What do you mean, Master Mi?"
Mi August said: "I plan to open a night class and teach children for free."
"Free?" Shen Li raised his head, hating that he was blind, otherwise he really wanted to see Mi August's expression now, "Master Mi is very kind, but the cost of this free school is not trivial."
Mi August said, "I'll go out."
Shen Li was speechless.
Mi August continued: "It is easy to find money, but it is difficult to find a convincing manager. Shen Lang has potential and reputation, but after all, he is still young."
Today, Shen Li has been given enough time to watch and think calmly. Mi August said directly: "I would like to ask the director to be the manager of this night class and train Shen Lang into a qualified successor. "
After a while, Shen Li said, "I know Master Mi doesn't need to trick me. However," he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, his tone revealing the guilt that had accumulated in his heart these days, "I feel that I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility. I manage It has been many years since Siye Mansion discovered its failure until recently. It was unable to redress the grievances of its subordinates, causing them to suffer a lot of injustice. It was not trusted by the people and did not make them feel at ease. They thought they were in peace, but they did not even provide enough food and clothing for their children. When they did, their only wish was to have a good meal."
"Director!"
"Director..."
The Liu twins shouted in unison, trying to persuade but Shen Li raised his hand to stop them.
Shen Li stood up holding the table and bent down to Mi August.
"I was disrespectful to Sir Mi that day and misunderstood that your purpose was impure. I would like to solemnly apologize to you. You have great virtues and having Sir in Si Ye Mansion is a blessing rather than a curse."
He bowed three times and then left with the support of the Liu twins.
Shen Lang, who was feeling extremely complicated inside, found that the door blocking him opened.
Before he could move, the floor beneath his feet moved forcefully and brought him to Mi August.
Shen Lang had a scream stuck in his throat.
Mi August said, "I heard everything clearly."
Shen Lang nodded. He had a lot of questions and thoughts that he wanted to talk about.
Mi August didn't give him this chance.
With a move of her hand, the ball of wool in her inner body appeared in her hand.
"Director Shen's body can no longer bear the magic weapon." This was a lie. With her threatening him, Baiyan wouldn't dare to cause trouble even if he entered Shen Li's body again, and Shen Li could naturally continue to use the magic weapon.
However, Mi August does not need an indecisive director, he only wants a kind and responsible people's teacher and superficial tool.
"You are the most suitable successor at present. Only when you have a crafty weapon can you be considered a true Night Walker and gain the ability to intimidate others."
Shen Lang said: "Senior Sister Ban and Senior Brother Liu are both more qualified than me."
"Qualification does not mean suitability." Mi August threw Baiyan to him, "Weapons can also choose their master."
How could Shen Lang dare to let such a precious weapon fall to the ground? What if it broke. Ben Ben went to pick it up, but something strange came from his hand. The scene he saw made his expression change drastically.
The wool ball melted into his hand and disappeared!
The next moment, his eyes felt extremely uncomfortable and tears flowed down.
Little did he know that a magic weapon would never show pity when it merges with an ordinary person. The more painful a person is, the easier it is for it to swallow the human spirit. The pain now is the result of Baiyan's careful actions due to Mi August's restraint.
"If you don't want Director Shen to leave, go and convince him to stay now. You can use the emotion card, the responsibility card, or the bitterness trick. You are all the children he has watched grow up, and this is where you both share. home, before the child has the ability to be independent, there is no
Which parent can really leave with peace of mind? He will feel disappointed for not being a good parent for a while. This is exactly the time for you to respond to him. "
Shen Lang understood what Mi August meant and ignored the stinging eyes and left in agreement.
After he left, Mi August told the spirit, "I won't see anyone who comes to see me in the next few days. If anything happens, let them solve it by themselves, with money..."
She felt that the air in the room seemed to be thinner, as if an invisible presence took a breath, sucked the air away and held it.
"Don't worry, they don't dare to ask for more." Mi August said.
The house spirit, who was discovered to be thinking carefully, said in a steady butler's voice: "Yes, I'm very relieved."
Mi August refused to expose it and went back to the laboratory to do half of the research she had put aside.
As for the future development of Si Yefu, she naturally has the right people to worry about. She has already laid out the recent development blueprint, and the startup funds are in place. She can also stay behind the scenes and do her own thing.
On that day, Shen Li originally wanted to leave quietly and quietly without stirring up a trace of dust.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lang led all the preparatory disciples to block his way and begged him to stay in unison. Their voices were all recognition of his contribution to Si Ye Mansion.
Shen Li listened to these comforting words, and heard Shen Lang's voice swallowing harder, saying that he was scared in his heart. He had not yet learned the common sense of using magic weapons, but he had already integrated into Baiyan. As the former user of Baiyan, he was deeply loved by Baiyan. How could Shen Li, who had been tortured, not know the key to this.
He couldn't see it, so he didn't know that Shen Lang was pretending to cry through tears caused by the discomfort caused by the new integration into the magic weapon. In fact, he didn't look miserable, not even one-tenth of the pain he imagined.
Under this comfort, worry and anxiety, Shen Li was left behind.
Shen Li stayed, and the Liu twins naturally stayed to take care of them.
The next day, after his emotions had cooled down, Shen Li did not regret staying. Instead, he was worried that his unfaithfulness would cause Mi August to be dissatisfied and make him misunderstand that he was playing hard to get and was still fighting for power.
