Definitely not, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be in charge of Rongguo Mansion for nearly 20 years with the help of Jia Mu!
If he doesn't have the ability and the mud can't support the wall, he won't be able to control Rongguo Mansion at all. The slaves in the manor alone can make him have a good drink.
It's just a pity that his skills seem to be completely distorted. He is wasted on pretending to be a scholar to please his parents. He is pretending to be stupid, but his ability to do things is completely poor.
After several losses, even for the sake of money, Mr. Zheng had to learn from his experience and lessons. Otherwise, if he continued to waste like this, he would either give up his career as an official, or he would have to spend a lot of money to maintain consumption.
Obviously, after falling in the same place four or five times in a row, Mr. Zheng is not a fool. How could he not detect the problem?
It can be known from the rapid decrease in the number of Qingqi around him, and the replacement of several batches of confidants around him, that this man has a clear conscience, but unfortunately his manpower is too weak.
Even after changing a batch, the mud still cannot hold up the wall. In other words, they are all greedy people who cannot see the owner of the money.
The second master Zheng didn’t know what he was doing. That’s why after he achieved good results in the clan studies, he did not continue to spend a lot of money to buy projects from the elders. Instead, he accepted the invitation from the elders and became the supervisor of the clan studies. He was also very serious and responsible.
main reason.
Money is a good thing, and Mr. Zheng doesn't want to act like a fool, because the purchase project is all in the hands of the elder. Even if he is willing, Mr. Wang and the old lady will not agree.
This time, the eldest master was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and was preparing to establish new rules in the Ministry of Industry. He gave the second master Zheng another chance to perform. Although he spent another 50,000 taels of silver, the second master Zheng was still very excited and geared up to do something big.
field.
He is not a fool. He has stumbled a few times on projects before, and he also knows how difficult it is to do projects. The new rule that the elder is about to set up is to directly separate the officials from the Ministry of Works from the construction company, and is only responsible for the final quality inspection of the project.
, and the matter of project acceptance, which made Mr. Zheng very excited.
This new rule made him feel very good, and it was in line with his behavior.
Only this time, the Wang family, who had been keeping a close eye on Mr. Zheng's death, immediately learned that he had spent another fifty thousand taels of silver on official duties, and immediately became dissatisfied and made a fuss.
"Old lady, it's fifty thousand taels again, what will happen if this continues?"
In the main room of Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang almost burst into tears with a look of grief on her face, and said in anguish, "The second bedroom is not a silver mine. No matter how much money we have, we can't afford such consumption!"
"The second child really took another fifty thousand taels of silver and went to the boss to buy a project?"
Mother Jia's face was ugly, and her eyes were deep and she confirmed again: "Don't fool me, or I want you to look good!"
"With all the conscience on earth, how dare my daughter-in-law fool the old lady?"
Mrs. Wang's face was full of solemnity, but she could only swear that she really cared about money. The second master Zheng had spent more than two hundred thousand taels of silver on the eldest master. If this continues, the entire property of the second house will have to be paid for by the eldest master.
It’s impossible to be empty.
"The bastard, the boss, and the second child..."
Mother Jia's face was full of displeasure, and she directly ordered the confidant maid beside her: "Go and call the second child!"
It wasn't that she felt sorry for Qianzi, but she was very grudged against the second master Zheng for being disobedient.
It just so happened that the second master of the Japanese government just went to the Yamen to order a meal and then came back. Hearing the summons from the old lady, he hurriedly put down his work and came to Rongqingtang.
"The old lady called her son to come here. What are your instructions?"
After entering the room and seeing the ceremony, Mr. Zheng couldn't wait to sit down and asked. He was busy writing project plans recently and really didn't have much free time to pay attention to other matters.
"Second brother, I heard that you spent another fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a project from that bastard, the boss?"
Jia Mu was not polite at all and asked straight to the point: "Is there such a thing?"
How come the news was leaked and the old lady was asked to know about it?
Mr. Zheng Er was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glanced at Mr. Wang, who was bowing his head in silence beside him. He didn't know anything else, and his heart suddenly became so angry that he almost couldn't help but burst out in anger.
Wang, this stupid woman, really succeeds more than fails!
"That's what happened!"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Mr. Zheng didn't hesitate for long and nodded directly.
"Second brother, what can I tell you?"
Mother Jia was dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you that if you want to do the project, you should first make it clear to the old lady and let the old lady negotiate with the boss? Why don't you listen?"
Mr. Zheng Er remained silent, but he was quite disapproving in his heart.
Again, if the old lady wants to rely on filial piety to suppress the old man, it can only be done once or twice. No one will be happy if it happens more times.
I really want to completely piss off the eldest man. How can he hang out in the Ministry of Industry in the future? His official career will basically end here, unless a miracle happens.
He felt that the current model of getting along was really good. Although he felt a little bit annoyed about the money spent, the elder took the money very efficiently and did things without any sloppiness. It was better than making a fuss in the house for a long time and making everyone unhappy in the end.
Okay?
"Yuanyang, tell Lai Da to call the boss, and tell him that the old lady wants to tell him about the second child, and that he should come over as soon as possible to explain the matter clearly, otherwise he won't be able to bear it if the old lady makes a fuss!"
Seeing that the second child was passively resisting, Jia Mu became furious and directly ordered the maids around her to take action immediately.
Mr. Zheng Er didn't stop her. He knew that even if he tried to stop her, it would be useless. He should let the boss deal with the old lady. He had no choice at all.
As for Mrs. Wang, she had a troubled look on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. She wished that the old lady and the eldest man had a complete falling out, but she didn't want the eldest man to be too proud.
Once they fall out, the eldest master's reputation will be lost, and his official position may also be removed. If that really happens, she is eager to do so.
But he didn't think deeply about it at all. If the mainstay of the eldest master was destroyed, the momentum that the Rongguo Mansion had just started would be completely stopped, and there was no need to hope for a chance of recovery in the future.
The officials in the court once had a bad experience. If any outstanding talent emerges from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, they will be suppressed by the officials. It will be very difficult to get ahead.
Of course, with Mrs. Wang's knowledge, she would not care about this. Anyway, according to her opinion, losing the second house wouldn't bring much benefit, so let's let everyone suffer together. Anyway, he doesn't want to see the benefits of the big house.
As for the Chucai clan members, she was even more unwilling to have a side branch rise up. She wished that the entire Jia clan had to live with a second wife, so that she could be powerful in the house.
Not to mention the complicated thoughts of everyone in Rongqingtang, I thought that inviting the eldest master this time would be another trouble. The eldest master has not been back to Rongfu at all except for important holidays recently. He just wanted to ask everyone in the house to wait.
It was difficult to borrow the light, and I felt very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, within an hour, the elder followed Yuanyang and rushed over.
"Oh, what a rare visitor. I didn't expect you to be so obedient and come here right away, boss. It's rare!"
Seeing the eldest gentleman come in, Jia's mother, who was sitting at the top, felt evil fire running through her heart and couldn't help but sneer at him.
"Isn't it just the second child's trivial matter? Since the old lady has questions and wants to ask, I naturally won't hide away!"
The elder's expression was not abnormal at all. After seeing the ceremony, he sat down and said calmly: "It's good to talk about it, so as not to cause trouble in the future!"
"Boss, you still have the nerve to say that!"
Mother Jia said angrily: "I have never seen anyone like you. If you don't care about and promote the second child, then you still want to make money from the second child. Are there any brothers like you?"
"I think this is very good. We don't talk about feelings but only about interests. This way everyone can feel comfortable!"
The elder smiled and spoke, turned to the silent second master Zheng and said, "Second brother, what do you think?"
Mr. Zheng Er didn't want to join the fighting group. He lowered his head and remained silent, neither saying yes nor saying bad.
"enough!"
Jia's mother looked ugly and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. If you want to give benefits to the second brother, isn't it just a matter of a word?"
"What benefit does the second child want?"
"For example, the projects you did for him before and the promotion of the second child to a further step are not difficult for you, right?"
Mother Jia's eyes flashed, and her tone was aggressive and not polite at all.
Mr. Zheng Er's eyes lit up. If he could really be promoted...
"That's what the old lady said!"
The eldest man did not deny it. He changed the subject and said calmly: "But if I want to do that, with the ability shown by the second child, in the end, don't I have to take action to finish it for him?"
The beautiful vision in his mind had only risen for three seconds when it was shattered by the eldest master's unkind words. Master Zheng Er's face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute.
This is the fact. Five projects were smashed in a row in one year. If it weren't for the big boss sitting in the Ministry of Works, I'm afraid that the second boss would have become the laughing stock of the Ministry of Works. In private, his colleagues would ridicule him a lot.
We all know it, we just pretend we don’t know it.
"As for promotion, that's a trivial matter!"
The eldest man looked indifferent and said in a calm tone: "You can let me become a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and take charge of the important projects of the province. Tell me yourself whether you are sure, or if you can put it more bluntly, there will be no mistakes."
These words were simply a slap in the face. Mr. Zheng's old face was purple and blue from holding back, but he couldn't say anything. He didn't dare to accept such a responsibility at all.
The experience of the previous year had hit him hard. He was even afraid of the affairs of the Ministry of Works. If he hadn't still thought about his official career, he would not have been willing to continue to deal with engineering. How could he have the ability and ability to control a province?
Project plan?
"hehe……"
The eldest man chuckled softly, thinking that the second brother still wanted to be more shameless, and it was not in vain for him to slap him in the face so unceremoniously. If this guy behaved shamelessly, he would have to consider whether he should give this guy a chance.
.
"Then you can't accept money from the second child!"
Mother Jia was helpless, she couldn't be strong even if her dick didn't work hard.
