Zhang Yuelu's eyes met Zhang Yuelu's.
In Zhang Yuelu's eyes, Zhang Wuyue didn't see sadness or anger, only deep exhaustion and helplessness.
Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but feel guilty.
"No wonder those old guys are dissatisfied. My brother is doing this behind my back. I went to tell those old guys about the New Deal. How could they be convinced? Of course they will fight with me." Zhang Yuelu no longer looked at Zhang Wuyue, "Change I am also unconvinced. Why can your brother Zhang Yuelu do it, but we can’t? It’s always been the case since ancient times that we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.”
Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but said: "Sister, I have not done anything illegal. Deputy Palace Master Xie wanted to strengthen the management of the port area and rectify some of the chaos in the port area, so he introduced this regulation to facilitate management. It's reasonable and legal, and no one can fault it."
"I know that there are many loopholes in the legal provisions that can be exploited. Let's assume you are legal, but is it really reasonable?" Zhang Yuelu asked, "Even if it is reasonable, why you?"
Zhang Wuyue asked innocently: "Why can't it be me? I don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. Just because I am your brother, I cannot do business in Nanyang."
Zhang Yuelu slapped the table: "You are such a good person and don't avoid relatives. How many years have you been in business? Are you more virtuous than those who have been doing business for decades?"
Zhang Wuyue also felt a little aggrieved and dissatisfied: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are both young and have already reached the rank of chief. My brother-in-law was even promoted to the rank of real person immediately. Many seventh-generation disciples are subordinates of you two. This is not Doesn't it prove that the level of ability does not depend on age? Could it be that if you can do it, I can't do it?"
Zhang Yuelu really didn't expect Zhang Wuyue to be so eloquent, and was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Wuyue added: "Sister, if I don't do it, someone else will do it. Let's not talk about our Zhang family, let's talk about their Li family. They have always done this, and it is much more than me. I don't know how much they earn. Taiping money. Li Tianzhen made 10,000 Taiping money when he was in the Imperial Capital. Your brother and I only earn this little in a month, which is not even comparable to other people's fur."
Zhang Yuelu said coldly: "Since you envy the Li family so much, then you might as well become one of the Li family!"
Zhang Wuyue shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore. This is a big taboo of the Zhang family, so we don’t dare to talk nonsense.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Do you know how much a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest's annual salary is? Including subsidies, it is about 10,000 taiping coins. Now you can earn 10,000 taiping coins a month. I have been a Taoist priest in Taiyi for a year, and I have been safe and stable without taking any risks. You said that you have dull qualifications and cannot take the path of a Taoist priest. Then let me ask you, why do you, with dull qualifications, earn this peaceful money?"
This time it was Zhang Wuyue's turn to be speechless.
Zhang Yuelu continued: "What the Li family does is their business. We can't learn from them. As my brother, you can't do this."
Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but said: "Sister, if you want to be the master of Qingtian, I won't stop you. You and your brother-in-law are going to reach the top of the Taoist Gate. I can only be happy and have no reason to hold you back, but you can't watch it either. Let this brother of mine starve and suffer poverty."
"Starving? Being poor?" Zhang Yuelu raised his voice, "Does the Zhang family, which is so big, still lack a bite to eat from you?"
Zhang Wuyue said: "I don't need a bite to eat, but we are a small sect, not as good as the disciples of the big sect. We have no income, the rank of Taoist priests is not high, and we only have a small amount of silver every month. What is enough for us? Just find a lover. You will also be looked down upon."
Zhang Yuelu frowned: "What's going on?"
Zhang Wuyue whispered: "Last year, I met a girl. At first, everything was fine. Although I didn't live up to expectations, at least my surname is Zhang. This surname is quite capable of bluffing people, and she has a powerful person. My sister and brother-in-law are all taking advantage of me, and everyone will look up to me."
"But when we have been in contact for a long time, it is no longer the case. Every time we go out, there are always some expenses. There are also some face-related things that require peace of mind. At this time, I have revealed my secret. I have no money, I’m just a showman.”
"She told me that she didn't want any betrothal gift, but she didn't want to live in an old house with me in Shangqing Town, and she didn't want to live with her in-laws in the future.
At the same time, she wants to have her own house in Yujing Shangsanfang, otherwise..."
Zhang Yuelu interrupted: "Otherwise, I will leave you, right?"
Zhang Wuyue nodded.
Zhang Yuelu said nothing.
Instead, Ke Qingqing said: "Mr. Zhang, I am also a woman, and I know a little bit about these methods. From your description, I guess that girl is not from a wealthy family, right? How can a woman from an aristocratic family talk about these things? . Let’s just say that when our Chief Zhang and Chief Qi met, Chief Qi was very poor, and all the peace money he had with him might not even be enough to get a big ticket. Even now, Chief Qi doesn’t have any money with him, and Chief Zhang never Mentioned these things.”
Zhang Wuyue was startled.
Ke Qingqing was born in the Imperial Palace, where there are many people with sophistication. He went on to say: "When a woman looks for a man, except for the one she really likes, she just wants to find someone better than herself. Even though they have been calling for equality for so many years, it is still the same old thing, marrying a man." Marry a man, wear clothes and eat. The slogan of equality is shouted louder than anyone else, and the interests are not compromised. The so-called no dowry is just a trick of retreating in order to advance. A small house today is a big gain in the future."
"As the old saying goes, you run around all day just to be hungry, and when you are full, you think about clothes. You have enough food and clothing, but you also want a charming and beautiful wife. Human desires always increase step by step. That girl originally came to you because of What? She is probably attracted by your family background, and she has high expectations for you. As long as she marries you, she will become a member of the Zhang family and the sister-in-law of Chief Zhang and Chief Qi. It can be said that she has crossed the class and entered the upper echelon of the Taoist sect. "
"But she later discovered that the Zhang family was divided into large and small sects. The children of the small sect did not have so many resources and their status was not as high as they imagined. So she became dissatisfied and felt that she had given in. She thought that she had been deceived by you. So she started to change her attitude and make various demands on you. In her opinion, these are all compensations. So she felt confident and felt that it was natural."
"Also, the competition between women is equally fierce. It is essentially a money competition in the name of vanity. If someone else has a pair of shoes costing three hundred taiping, you must have them too. Someone else's Taoist monk gave you a snow-white fox Qiu, I also want to give it to my Taoist companion. Mr. Zhang is still young and has no savings, so he cannot meet her needs in this regard, which is also the reason."
"As for the so-called leaving you, it is just a temptation and a threat. Today you gave in and compromised. If she makes trouble tomorrow, do you still have to compromise? Compromising will only make her look down on you even more. If you do it without a bottom line, Back and forth again and again. Today is to buy a house. Will the house be recorded in her name tomorrow? Will you be asked to ask Chief Qi and Chief Zhang to arrange another position for her the day after tomorrow? As long as you can't do it , just leave you?"
"With all due respect, this girl probably doesn't want to leave Young Master Zhang. She just wants to control Young Master Zhang and make him follow her, support her, coax her, and spoil her. In my opinion, Young Master Zhang, after all, He is Chief Zhang's brother. He is already the best candidate this girl can find. She will not let him go easily. Mr. Zhang listens to my advice. If she brings up the matter of separation again, she might as well agree directly. Maybe it will be her. I took the initiative to save Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Wuyue was silent for a while after listening, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Ke, for your guidance."
Zhang Yuelu said: "I have made it very clear. Close that company of yours immediately, and then find a serious job, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and behave accordingly."
The smile on Zhang Wuyue's face gradually faded away.
Zhang Yuelu naturally felt the change in the atmosphere, but still asked: "Tianzhong, do you have any objections?"
Zhang Wuyue suddenly said loudly: "Of course I have an opinion. Sister, believe it or not, even if it doesn't have anything to do with me, those old guys will still fight against you. Even if all of our Zhang family goes to the streets to beg for food, they should fight." We still have to fight. It’s not me who’s holding you back, sister!”
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "I believe it."
"Since you believe it, then why can't I do my business?" Zhang Wuyue became excited, "Sister, even if there is no woman thing, am I going to hang out like this? Will I be like this for the rest of my life? Money is the courage of a hero, I don't Is it wrong to dare to seek extravagant power and only seek some insignificant heroic courage?"
Zhang Yuelu said in a deep voice: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. I don't
I don’t let you make money, I just let you follow the right path. "
Zhang Wuyue changed his usual submissive demeanor and burst into laughter, almost crying: "Sister, you are now prosperous and have come under the eyes of the Heavenly Master. The Dazhen Mansion will allocate you one hundred thousand yuan every year. Taiping money is for you and your brother-in-law to spend. It’s okay if you don’t want it. This money is fair and aboveboard. Of course you can stand on the dry shore and talk about morality without having your back hurt. But I can’t, I don’t have such treatment.”
As soon as I said this, I was a bit embarrassed.
Zhang Yuelu closed his eyes: "I don't deny this, but when I was your age, I also had only Taoist priest Li Yin and lived very hard. I said the same thing at that time, and even more so."
Zhang Wuyue stopped laughing: "Sister, if I had a future like yours, I would be able to bear it. It's a pity that I don't have it either."
Zhang Yuelu sighed, and his tone turned cold: "I will only give you three days, and that's all. It's up to you."
Zhang Wuyue said coldly: "Since the Chief Deputy Governor of the Borneo Province has said so, I can only follow it."
Zhang Yuelu opened his eyes: "Tianzhong!"
Zhang Wuyue smiled miserably: "Zhang Qingtian killed his relatives righteously, punished the dandy in accordance with the law, and became famous in the Lion City. This is the best ending."
"Zhang Yuelu, just pretend that you don't have me as your brother. Sooner or later you will be alone."
After saying that, Zhang Wuyue turned and left directly.
Zhang Yuelu didn't speak, just sat on the chair, speechless.
Ke Qingqing wanted to send Zhang Yueyue off, but then stopped and looked towards Zhang Yuelu.
She found that her boss, who had always been adamant and unyielding, was crying silently.
