Chapter 196 Preparations for Showdown

"Good morning, sir."

Seeing Gu Chen's maid Ani, she quickly bowed her head and greeted her respectfully. It should be said that she is indeed a maid who has accumulated rich experience in the field of housekeeping. Her speech and actions are as standardized as etiquette tutorials, but she still reveals her unconcealable expression.

Nervousness comes.

"Good morning, Ani."

Gu Chen nodded slightly in response.

Ani and Xiaoyi are both from the White Ape tribe. It is said that the master in charge of creation has a very high status among the Southern Barbarians. Gu Chen can't help but understand her mood, but her nervous attitude no matter who she is.

It was all quite pointless. Gu Chen, who wanted to improve such a stiff relationship, chose a milder topic.

"Ani, are you the ones who made these potted plants in the corridor?"

"Yes, yes." Ani lowered her head and responded. "Sister Wu Zhen said it would be better to put some green plants here. I selected the specific varieties myself... That one, if you don't like it, I will replace it immediately."

"No, no, it's fine like this." Gu Chen shook his head quickly.

"Okay. Sir, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?" Ani asked timidly.

"Well, I don't think there's any problem with that." Gu Chen scratched his cheek. Although he wanted to get closer to each other, Ani's nerves in the workplace were obviously tense at this time. Any further requests would only make her more nervous.

That's all. So Gu Chen shook his head and didn't continue. "Well, just follow Sister Wu Zhen's instructions regarding the specific operations of the store. I won't interrupt casually."

"Yes! I'm very sorry for making you worry about trivial matters!"

Ani's face suddenly stiffened as she didn't know what she was thinking of, and she lowered her head and apologized to Gu Chen in panic.

"Okay, okay, you go about your business, I'll go down first."

Realizing that further chatting would only make the maid more nervous, Gu Chen waved his hand with a wry smile, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

The originally dusty handrails on the stairs were now wiped spotless, and the clean and tidy atmosphere made people feel quite comfortable. Gu Chen couldn't help but praise the maid Ani's housekeeping skills again. It would be better if she could be more relaxed in her attitude.

Ideal. Xiao B, who is very curious and lacks self-control in this regard, has caused trouble from time to time. It would be great if the two siblings could balance each other out.

As the number of members under Gewufang increased, Gu Chen, as the leader of the group, also had to pay attention to related personnel matters. Fortunately, he had a virtuous female secretary to help him in this regard, so he didn't have to worry too much.

With this thought, Gu Chen walked down the stairs to the first floor.

The business building at the Gewufang base is a two-story stone building. The upper floor of the business building contains relatively private bedrooms and guest rooms, while the lower level of the business building contains many relatively open functional facilities. Previously, Gewufang basically only used it due to limited manpower.

It only has a living room, but due to the adequate deployment of housekeeping personnel, other facilities are gradually being put into use.

Gu Chen strolled to the tea room adjacent to the stairs.

The tea room is a leisurely space for the group to relax and entertain guests or to entertain guests. The furnishings are based on log color and brown rattan, giving people a peaceful feeling. The rattan sofas, a specialty of Nanman, and the small ottomans hewn from thick wooden piles

Round tables arranged crosswise

I bought several sets, and there was a low cabinet with tea and refreshments next to it. The flowers placed on the round table exuded a light incense, and together with the sound of running water coming from outside the corridor, people felt a sense of warmth just by stepping into it.

A relaxing atmosphere that is enough to relax your mind.

Gu Chen strolled to the side near the corridor and sat down on the rattan sofa.

The rattan sofa and solid wood round table should be newly purchased furniture. Wooden rattanware is a specialty of Li Yangling. Judging from the materials and workmanship, it can easily be bought for a five-digit price on earth. When I visited Chaos Ruins last time

Gewufang made a lot of money by monopolizing the supply of elixirs, and his wallet was much richer than before. Although the cost of adding a store made Gu Chen feel pain for a while, it now seems that it was indeed worth the money.

Gu Chen moved his gaze to the inner courtyard outside the corridor.

The climate in Liyang is hot. In order to prevent heatstroke and cool down, Liyang people who have the conditions will plant trees for shade and set up ponds in their inner courtyards. There is such a green small pond outside the teahouse corridor. Plants are planted behind the pond.

It is covered with green bamboo, surrounded by pebbles, and there are water lilies and koi carp swimming in the center of the pond. The water body of the pond physically lowers the adjacent room temperature, while the antique flowing space brings people perceptual refreshment.

"Tsk, tsk, that's amazing, Sister Wu Zhen."

Gu Chen was speechless when he saw it.

This small inner courtyard originally existed in the business building, but the pond had long dried up when Gu Chen moved in. As for water lilies and koi carps, of course he didn't even think about it. It had only been just over a week since the female secretary took over the business building, and the original

The desolate spaces are constantly coming back to life, which in Gu Chen's eyes is simply more magical than the Brahma method that shakes the earth's veins.

"Tsk, tsk, Chang Xia Palace really gave an incredible gift, so even if you want to complain, there is nothing you can do..."

Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.

It is obvious that Gewufang is only a three-person micro-facility, but it has decided to transfer the daughter-in-law of the princes and the female secretary in charge of the factory to serve as an assistant. The female leader who made this decision can be said to be a person with extraordinary force. It turns out that Gu Chen

I still resented Wu Yan for taking away Nizewu semi-forcibly, but now I can't complain anymore.

"Huh? That's it?"

Gu Chen blinked and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure by the pond.

"Ponyo? What is it doing there?"

Ponniu, the pot monster, the veteran monster of Gewufang, seems to be particularly fond of this green and comfortable space, and concentrates on playing the role of the forgotten pot under the shadow of a broad-leaved plant. The pot monster has become more and more skilled in pretending to be dead recently.

, if the slightly swinging rattan rope at the mouth of the pot hadn't caught Gu Chen's attention, he would have almost been fooled.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even had time to introduce it to them yet..."

Looking at the pot monster leisurely pretending to be dead under the leaf shade, Gu Chen scratched his head and showed a tangled expression.

The female clerk joined Gewufang quite suddenly, and then she was very busy organizing the business of the business and recruiting housekeeping staff. When Gu Chen came to his senses, the maid Ani and the cooking officer Guru were waiting

He has begun to show his value in his own workplace, so he missed the opportunity to introduce monsters.

However, the sword monster Tuo Lei is basically bound to Feiyan all day long, the pot monster Ponniu is a coward who is good at pretending to be dead, and the cage monster has not yet awakened, so the newcomers have not noticed anything strange in Gewufang for a short time. However,

After all, paper can't stop the fire, and it's still unclear whether the Chenghuang people can accept the concept of "monsters". In order to avoid misunderstandings in the future, Gu Chen believes that it is better to have a showdown with the female secretary as soon as possible about the pot monster and sword monster.

"What showdown is better?"

"Uh-huh? Wu, sister Wu Zhen?"

The sound from the side startled Gu Chen. He turned around and saw the female secretary coming to the sofa at some point and looking at him with a mixture of apology and concern.

"Sorry, I see that the young master seems to be troubled by something. I wonder if I can help?"
