"Master, master! The government is crazy! They want to build a wall to surround the dock!"
In the study room of the Chen family, a man who looked like a steward was reporting the situation in the city to the head of the family with an anxious look on his face.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Unexpectedly, the old man of the Chen family, who had always been known for his bad temper, was now like an old monk who had practiced for many years. He just said angrily and continued to lie on the Taishi chair with his feet raised. On the desk, I began to close my eyes and relax.
"Ah? Master?"
Upon hearing this vulgar answer, the steward's eyes widened in surprise, as if he didn't believe his ears. After a while, he stuttered and spoke again:
"My lord! Didn't you hear what I said clearly? The people from the Shipping Department are now running to build a wall. If the pier is really fenced in the future, then every shipment we take will be Won’t everyone from the Shipping Department notice it?”
"It's none of their business if we steal goods?" The person in charge replied with the same snort without any fireworks.
"No...this! Hey! Master! Can't you see that they are doing this because they are preparing to control shipping!"
"Control is control, it's none of my business?"
Well, looking at the calm and calm head of the house in front of him, the steward was completely off guard.
It seems, seems, probably, since the last time the head of the family cursed the Marquis of Sanyuan County face to face, the head of the family's temper has changed?
"Sir? Are you okay?" Putting down the fence for the moment, the manager bravely glanced at the owner of the family, and suddenly wondered in his heart whether the owner of the family was so angry when they scolded each other last time that until now, You haven't recovered yet and you're always talking nonsense?
"I?"
Until then, the head of the Chen family finally had a different reaction. He stood up from his seat impatiently and came to the steward who was still looking at him like a lunatic.
Then he gently raised his hand, and then slapped him with a big-eared thunderbolt. Then, he saw countless fists mixed with big feet, raining down on the stunned steward.
"Am I okay? I'll let you see if I'm okay! You brainless idiot! He wants to build a wall, but it's useless for you to tell me! Master, can I go and demolish the wall for him? A few days ago , You have forgotten what happened to Xunfu and the others! Do you also want my family to be ruined, and then be dragged away by some relative who doesn’t know where he came from? "
"Master, don't fight, don't fight! Oops... I was wrong!"
After receiving a torrent of punches and kicks, the poor steward finally came to his senses and hurriedly crawled under a table on his hands and knees, barely avoiding the owner's big feet.
The head of the Chen family was tired of beating him at this time. He put his hands on his hips and gasped angrily: "Go out and tell the rest of the family that I have been staying at home honestly recently. If anyone sneaks out and causes trouble, I will interrupt." He has three legs!”
"Here..." The butler, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten, stood up tremblingly, cupped his hands indiscriminately towards his master, and then ran away without looking back.
Well, my master’s fists and kicks still smell familiar! They are definitely genuine!
"master!"
The steward ran away without a trace, but a man who looked like a master walked in from the door holding a thick stack of paper.
"Even if Manager Chen said something wrong, he wouldn't be beaten for no reason, right? I'm afraid it's not the way to serve." After entering the study, looking at the messy tables and chairs, the master frowned slightly and endured.
He kept opening his mouth to persuade.
"The way to govern?"
The head of the Chen family, who had just punched hard, rubbed his waist and sat back in his seat: "What is the way to govern? It's all nonsense in our old Chen family! If a fool like this offends me, he will be punished on the spot.
Give him a good beating and I guarantee that he will grow wiser in the future! He will not do it again!"
"Ahem, but Manager Chen was beaten up by you. He must be upset. What if he didn't do his job well?"
"You're not doing your job well? Then slap him again! You dare to express your grievances to the people under your command, and I don't care! But if you dare to mess up my affairs, you can't beat him to death!"
"..."
When the master heard this, he was shocked at first, and then he could only smile bitterly.
No wonder I heard early on that the people in the Chen family in Lingnan were extremely overbearing. It turned out that there was already a problem at the root. With such an unreasonable head of the family, it would be strange if the people under his command could be reasonable!
"Master came from Jiangnan, so it's normal for him to be unclear about our family's situation!"
Seeing that the master stopped talking, the head of the Chen family may have felt that his behavior was too domineering, and it would be difficult for the gentle master Jiangnan to accept it, so he blushed and softened his tone: "I don't know now.
Master, what is your opinion on the conduct of the Guangzhou government?"
"I can't talk about it!" After hearing the head of the Chen family talk about business, the master also became serious, pointed at the papers in his hand and said: "In the past few days when I came to the mansion, I studied a lot of news in the city and even outside the city, and found that
It’s a very strange point.”
"Oh? What point?" Hearing what the master said, the head of the Chen family became interested and stretched his neck to hear what the master who had been hired at a high price had to say.
"This point is Xiao Han from Sanyuan County in the city!" The master's eyes flickered, as if there was light flowing in them.
"Xiao Han?" When the head of the Chen family heard these two words, his expression immediately changed, as if he remembered a certain unpleasant memory.
"Yes, that's him!" Master's tone became particularly firm: "Sir, you should have discovered that before he came to Guangzhou City, this place had been running smoothly in its original form for decades! We don't care about the previous form.
It is right or wrong, but after decades of subtle influence, whether it is wrong or right, it should naturally become a rule that is difficult to change!
But here's the strange thing! I saw that since Mr. Xiao came, the rules that had been formed in Guangzhou City over the past few decades were immediately shattered by him! Even some of the people who set the rules were used by him in various ways.
Methods to defeat them one by one, or even eliminate them!"
"Master means..."
Although the words the master said were just an overview of the city of Guangzhou in the news, who was the head of the Chen family? The old fox immediately heard something else from it.
"That's right, he wants to set rules and new rules! In this process, whoever wants to go against him will be regarded as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh! If you want to get rid of it, hurry up!" The master took a deep breath and removed his
Everything I had been thinking about for two days came out.
"I think so too." The head of the Chen family looked at the master and sighed. He realized this much earlier than the master!
Precisely because of this, amidst the ups and downs in Guangzhou City these days, the Chen family is still standing here firmly, unlike other families who have become sacrifices in the wind and rain.
