Villain Heard the Housekeeper's Voice (BL)
Chapter 31 It turns out that you took my golden finger!
"I don't believe it." Jing Yi curled his lips.
"Fortune-telling is something that is inherently metaphysical." Li Wenzhao said, "If you are sincere, your fortune will work."
"..."
Jing Yi tilted his head and stared at him: "You just plan to never admit it, right?"
Li Wenzhao was unmoved by any circumstances.
Jing Yi stared at his resolute profile and quietly opened Pandora's boxââ
[But I still know a lot of secrets of the Li family]
"..."
[I know what will happen to the Li family in the future, I know how many traitors are hiding in the company, and I know what tricks Shen Shubai will have in the future]
"..."
[Also know who you will be with in the future. ã
Li Wenzhao turned his head and met the young butler's upward face. He saw that the other party looked like he was ready to catch him in a trap and lure him into telling the secret.
Jing Yi pursed her lips and smiled: [Do you want to know? ]
Li Wenzhao answered him with practical actions: no. So he turned his eyes away gently, picked up the tablet on the seat and started working.
Jing Yi didn't believe it and pestered him: "Don't you want to know? Really? Not at all?"
Li Wenzhao calmed down and said, "I don't want to."
Jing Yi: "Why?"
Li Wenzhao's eyes briefly left the tablet and fell on Jingyi's face, "Because I know who I will be with in the future."
"..."
"???"
"!!!!"
Admitted it!
Li Wenzhao admitted that he could hear his inner voice!
Finally got caught!
Jing Yi suppressed the slight fear in his heart and asked tentatively: "When did you start hearing it?"
Since everything has been made clear, Li Wenzhao simply said it clearly: "When Mingzhi brought Ning Jiang back to the main house."
Jing Yi's eyes widened: "So early!"
Then wouldn't Li Wenzhao hear everything he was saying in his heart?
Jing Yi was so scared that he covered his chest.
Speak a little more quietly.
Li Wenzhao: "..."
No matter how quiet you speak, you can still hear everything from this close distance.
Jing Yi was stunned in the car.
In fact, he was not really confused. There were still traces of many things. He didn't say anything, but everything was changing for the better. Ning Jiang was sent to jail, all the bad artists in the branch were terminated, the director of the headquarters was exposed in a scandal, the underground organ exchange of the Hua family was shut down by the police, and Li Xu suddenly left at the birthday party...
It must have been Li Wenzhao who did it secretly.
He just discovered it now?!
Well, it turns out that you were the one who took my golden finger.
Jing Yi's eyes were sharp for a second: Ï(*ï½ã¼?)Ï
After listening to the young butler's mental journey, Li Wenzhao glanced at him slowly and asked, "Have you sorted it out?"
The butler nodded: "Almost."
Li Wenzhao seemed to smile and called the driver in the front seat: "Uncle Lin, take us home first, and then send Secretary Fan back."
Uncle Lin: "Yes."
Jing Yi leaned forward to the front row and said, "Secretary Fan, I see you are still here."
In the passenger seat, Fan Ming was trying to reduce his presence, while the two people in the back seat were whispering in each other's ears as if they were alone. They were so close that they didn't even consider him an outsider.
Fan Ming has been working in the workplace for so many years and knows a rule well: don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to.
He coughed softly: "I'm not here actually."
Jing Yi: "..."
Could the person in front of him be a ghost?
Jing Yi poked his head in: "Secretary Fan, you sound a little strange."
Fan Ming said: "I have always been this weird."
Jing Yi: "..."
He slowly turned around and cast a concerned look at Li Wenzhao: [It's over, your secretary was shocked by the big scene just now]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
·
After revealing the truth, Jing Yi was actually relieved. From now on, he could just reveal the secret to Li Wenzhao without having to rack his brains to think of how to hint at it.
It's a good thing.
Jing Yi yawned, and sank back into his chair, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
After only three hours of sleep last night, he was shocked early this morning. Even the strongest spirit could not hold on any longer. He leaned back in the comfortable chair and fell silent.
Li Wenzhao noticed that the butler had quieted down, and when he looked over, he saw that he was leaning back and drowsy.
"We're almost home, let's go back and sleep."
Jing Yi curled up lazily, unwilling to move: "Just sleep for a while."
Li Wenzhao looked at him for two seconds, and saw that he was curled up in a small ball, then curved his lips and said, "Will you stay up late next time?"
Jing Yi's eyelashes trembled and he narrowed his eyes a little.
[You asked this question as if you were asking me whether I want to eat tomorrow.]
Li Wenzhao was shocked: "Still holding on?"
Jing Yi turned over, turned his back to Li Wenzhao and closed his eyes.
[You don't understand the joy of staying up late. ]
Li Wenzhao sneered, "Next time if you don't go to work, your salary will be deducted."
Fan Ming in the front seat had a stiff back.
What is Mr. Li talking to himself about? Or... have the two of them developed a spiritual connection?
Jing Yi was almost asleep, but when he heard this, he still subconsciously answered: [Just deduct it, high-income people with a monthly income of 100,000 don't care about the extra 100 or 200 yuan]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
After being exposed, the young butler became more and more unscrupulous.
Although he said he was sleeping, the car was shaking, so Jing Yi didn't really fall asleep. He woke up as soon as the car stopped in the Li family yard.
He opened his eyes with a yawn, and got out of the car sleepily. He accidentally tripped over the car door and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Li Wenzhao was quick-witted and rescued him.
Jing Yi was lifted up by his arm. He patted his chest and woke up from the shock: "Fortunately, fortunately."
Li Wenzhao pursed his lips and said, "If you keep going, you won't be so lucky."
Jing Yi chuckled twice: "Young people like to stay up late, and I can stay up for this long, isn't it amazing?"
[Not everyone can survive a night like this. ]
After saying that, Jing Yi felt as if someone in front of him sneered again: "Well, you are amazing late at night, but you can't get up early in the morning."
Jing Yi: "..."
·
·
The next day was the weekend, and Jing Yi rested for three consecutive days. When he returned to work, he had become a spirited little cabbage again.
"Morning, Secretary Fan."
"Jing..." Secretary Fan addressed him carefully: "Good morning, housekeeper."
Jing Yi said kindly: "Look, you are not familiar with the name again, call me a few more times."
Secretary Fan: "..."
Jing Yi was grabbed by the back of the neck and walked into the office on tiptoe.
Jing Yi: "..."
ãWhy are you picking me up? ã
Li Wenzhao looked calm: "It's blocking the way."
ãOh, so they were just moving the roadblocks. ã
Li Wenzhao: "..."
This is the first time I've heard someone describe themselves like this.
After a weekend of rest, there was a lot of work to be done. Li Wenzhao picked up a few documents from the table and handed them to the person next to him, "Take a look."
Jing Yi took it over: [Categorize or read by clicking? ]
Li Wenzhao: "Minesweeper."
Anyway, now that it's out of the question, he uses the butler as a life cheat generously.
Jingyi started working without pretending, and whenever he found a project with problems, he would cross it out and hand it over to Li Wenzhao.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Half an hour later, Secretary Fan pushed the door open and walked in. "Boss Li, this is the project proposal submitted by the project department. Boss Qin has approved it. Please take a look."
Li Wenzhao took it and glanced at it, "Jingyi."
Next to look up.
ãUm?ã
"Minesweeper."
Under Secretary Fan's shocked gaze, Jing Yi took the document, looked at it, and quickly returned it.
[This project is not available. ]
Li Wenzhao frowned: "Why?"
[The partner is the leader of heishehui. The purpose of cooperating on this project is to launder money. Later, Shen Shubai will report it as a failure. ã
Li Wenzhao took the document back: "Secretary Fan, notify everyone that the project is rejected."
Fan Ming looked at Li Wenzhao talking to himself in shock.
Li Wenzhao: "Secretary Fan?"
"Oh, okay..." Fan Ming took the document, unable to hide the shock on his face, and walked away hesitantly.
The expression on Fan Ming's face was too obvious for Li Wenzhao to ignore. He pinched his brows and said, "Jing Yi."
[So what? ]
Li Wenzhao glanced at him sideways: "Don't talk to me with your inner voice."
Jing Yi: "Why?"
[I think it's quite convenient, and I don't have to move my mouth. ]
Li Wenzhao frowned impatiently: "But it will make me look like a psychopath."
Jing Yi: "..."
[Oh, no wonder Secretary Fan had a weird expression just now, he must have thought their CEO was crazy...]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He was about to say something when he heard a roar from outside -
"Li Wenzhao, you're a psychopath!"
"..."
Outside the door, Secretary Fan and two security guards tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't stop Shen Shubai's furious steps.
He rushed into the president's office with a distorted expression and threw an Ultraman in front of Li Wenzhao.
"Are you sick?" Shen Shubai's defense was completely broken. "Forget about the disgusting business war you've been fighting with us recently, and you actually dared to touch my God of Wealth!"
Shen Shubai gets angry when he talks about it.
He had been burning incense to the God of Wealth devoutly these past few days, and because the new statue he had just brought back could not see the light for seven days, he had been covering it with a red silk cloth. After finally getting through the time, he was ready to take a good look at the God of Wealth that he had brought back at a great expense, and then place some offerings.
However, when he lifted the red silk, oh my god, what he saw was an Ultraman full of technology and humor.
Ultraman also made an attacking gesture towards him.
"..."
Seeing clearly what kind of damned shit he had been worshipping these past few days, Shen Shubai almost fainted from anger.
He felt that Li Wenzhao was ill.
Neuropathy.
Unable to swallow his breath, Shen Shubai rushed into Li's company alone.
Jing Yi looked at the rather large Ultraman on the table and shrank his neck guiltily. Oh, it was the landmine he had planted for the protagonist brother before.
Li Wenzhao had known about this for a long time, so he was not surprised. He raised his eyes and asked, "Did you really worship for seven days?"
Shen Shubai: "..."
puff.
Jing Yi thought he seemed to hear the sound of a knife cutting into flesh.
Seeing Li Wenzhao's reaction, Shen Shubai was even more certain that it was him who did it: "It was you, you were the only one who came to my company the day I invited the God of Wealth statue, and you stayed in the office for a long time. So this is what you were thinking."
Shen Shubai was so angry that he grabbed Ultraman and threw him to the ground. "You asked me to burn incense for Ultraman for seven days. Does it understand? You are still using my Ultraman. Is your Li Group going to go bankrupt? You can't even afford a toy?"
Ultraman kowtowed on the table. He didn't know where he hit, but the sound effect was triggered, and he made the sound of attacking Shen Shubai again.
Shen Shubai: "..."
Jing Yi: [Ah, what an embarrassing and childish scene! ]
[Like a child who can't get a toy and throws a tantrum in front of an adult...]
Li Wenzhao was not angry at all.
With the butler constantly whispering in his ear, he couldn't get angry at all.
The office door opened again, and Secretary Zou walked in sweating profusely, smiling apologetically at Li Wenzhao: "Director Shen, let's go back first."
Shen Shubai brushed him off: "I won't leave, I must ask Li Wenzhao to give me an explanation, what the hell, you shameless psychopath!"
[Oh my god, even more childish]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Secretary Zou quickly said to Li Wenzhao, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, our CEO Shen was very angry and a little irrational. He had no choice but to break into Li's company without permission. Please don't call the police."
Li Wenzhao didn't think about it at all, and regarded Shen Shubai as a comedian. "Take Mr. Shen back to have some rest."
Secretary Zou nodded and dragged Shen Shubai out, pulling and coaxing him.
"Mr. Shen, we are already at a disadvantage by coming here uninvited, and you have also made personal attacks on Li Wenzhao. Let's go back first, and we will think of a solution after we return..."
"What else can I think of? Li Wenzhao is about to shit on my neck!"
Secretary Zou said softly, "After all, this is Li's territory. We can't be too hostile. The security guards are watching..."
"What's wrong with looking at me? Can they eat me?!"
Secretary Zou: "..."
"Secretary Zou seems like the parent of a naughty child." Jing Yi sighed softly.
Li Wenzhao looked at the man intently and asked, "Do you know each other well?"
Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe medium rare."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
However, Secretary Zou is still quite pleasing to Jingyi's eyes. In the original text, Secretary Zou is dull and honest, and does things in a methodical manner. He is not as lively and cheerful as Secretary Fan, but he is careful and meticulous in his work.
It's a pity that Shen Shubai disliked the article in the later stage because he couldn't adapt it and directly plagiarized it.
Secretary Zou's family seems to be quite poor.
Life is not good without a job.
Jing Yi thought about it and turned around: "Master, why don't we poach Secretary Zou over here?"
Li Wenzhao: "Where should we put them after we dig them up?"
Jing Yi took it for granted: "The president's secretary."
[Good talents must be recruited in a timely manner, otherwise they will be snatched away by others]
Li Wenzhao looked over with a half-smile: "Is our housekeeper Jing going to exclude Secretary Fan?"
Jing Yi paused.
[Oh, yes, Li Wenzhao already has a secretary named Fan by his side.]
[If Secretary Zou comes, it will definitely be crowded. ]
[After all, one company cannot accommodate two secretaries]
[If these two develop a jealous habit in the future, the young master's side will be very lively, haha ââ...
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi thought about the settings in the original book and remembered Secretary Zou's background: "I remember Secretary Zou seemed to be from Shandong."
Li Wenzhao: "Yeah."
Jing Yi said seriously: "Then let's send him a set of real exam questions to shake up his ambition!"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
·
Jing Yi was in high spirits for the whole morning, but when it was time for dinner, he ran away, and even Li Wenzhao couldn't catch him.
Today's cafeteria has Boston lobster balls, Shanghai smoked fish, bell pepper beef, and clam asparagus, all of which are Jingyi's favorites. He paid with Secretary Fan's card.
After so many times, Jing Yi felt a little embarrassed: "Secretary Fan, I'll treat you next time."
"You're welcome, Butler Jing." Fan Ming said, "I really like the kiwi fruit you gave me last time. We call this..."
Jing Yi chuckled: "Revenge for evil?"
Secretary Fan paused for a while: "There is a give and take."
Jing Yi laughed enough and patted Fan Ming on the shoulder: "It was just a joke."
Fan Ming disagreed: "Butler Jing's words are always sharp."
"..."
·
After dinner, Jing Yi returned to the top floor office to relax.
Li Wenzhao was going to hold a department meeting in the afternoon, and Jingyi had nothing to do, so he just played Minesweeper on the table to pass the time.
Li Ting happened to come in and caught a lazy butler: "Butler Jing, what are you doing?"
Jing Yi clicked the mouse: "Busy sweeping mines."
"..." Li Ting turned around and brought a pile of documents, then sat down in Li Wenzhao's seat: "Read these to me."
Jing Yi: "..."
Another one who treats him as a reading machine.
Jing Yi looked at his crossed legs and asked, "Isn't the Third Master okay?"
Li Ting raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know, we all work like this?"
Jing Yi: "..."
[Then I really don't know]
It was two or three in the afternoon, when people were the laziest. Jing Yi lay there unwilling to move. "Third Master, a good boss does everything himself. Look at the eldest master, for example."
Li Ting didn't buy his trick: "I'm different from Big Brother. I heard that you have the title of second in command at the headquarters. The more capable you are, the more work you should do."
Jing Yi said lazily: "Then you can, but I can't."
Li Ting was stunned for a few seconds. Seeing that the butler did not move, he began to make promises for him: "Butler Jing, there is no end to work. Life is about suffering before happiness."
Jing Yi said expressionlessly: "That's not right, Third Master. Bitterness first doesn't necessarily mean sweetness later, but sweetness first means you'll get it first."
ãLet's play bad together, San Shaoã
Stopped sharply: "..." =Dan=
At this time, Li Wenzhao came back from the meeting and saw the strange atmosphere between the two people in his office, "Third brother, put your legs down."
Li Ting pulled his legs back and complained: "Brother, your assistant is too disobedient. He can't even get anything done when asked to do it."
Jing Yi turned his head in shock.
[It's fine if you're lazy and don't want to move, but you also order others to work like slaves, and now you're complaining to the young master? ]
ãMaster, I am innocent! ã
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He glanced at the documents on the table that had not been touched, and looked at Li Ting: "You didn't do anything I told you to do just now?"
Li Ting pointed at Jing Yi and said, "Brother, it's all his fault for not helping me."
Li Wenzhao said expressionlessly: "Do you pay him a salary?"
Li Ting: "..."
Jing Yi raised his chin proudly.
[That's it]
Li Wenzhao glanced at the butler who was getting carried away, "Jingyi, go to the tea room downstairs."
Jing Yi turned his head and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Li Wenzhao: "We have two new self-service potato chip machines. Go and see if they work."
The young butler disappeared with a whoosh.
Li Ting watched the man disappear, leaving only the office door still trembling slightly. Li Wenzhao asked him to get up: "I have something to tell you."
Li Ting stood up reluctantly and smiled: "Brother, why do I feel that you treat Butler Jing better than me?"
The housekeeper happily ate snacks while he worked hard. He really didn't know which one was his real brother.
Li Wenzhao said: "Your second brother is trapped in the mountains by a mudslide, go and help rescue him."
Li Ting was stunned: "When did it happen?"
"just."
"Okay, I'll go." Li Ting stretched lazily: "Who told me that my blood is thicker than water with my second brother?"
When they reached the door, Li Ting suddenly stopped and turned to him: "Brother, you are talking to Butler Jing..."
Li Wenzhao moved his fingertips and raised his eyes: "What?"
Li Ting didn't know what he was thinking of, and his eyes narrowed: "You don't want him to be our fifth brother, do you?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He lowered his eyes slightly, "No."
Li Ting curled his lips when he heard that, nodded, and turned to leave.
Chapter 32 Stars Are Empty
At the end of the working day, Li Wenzhao caught the housekeeper who was away from his post in the tea room downstairs.
As expected, the person cannot be let go. He runs wild for an entire afternoon and is not seen again. The immediate superior has to come and catch him personally.
"Assistant Jing, is Mr. Li difficult to get along with?"
When I walked out the door, I heard the chattering sounds from inside.
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows. After leaving the office for a few hours, the butler got along with the employees so quickly?
He paused slightly.
I'd like to see what the butler thinks of him.
"Hmm." The butler chewed vaguely: "The big boss is difficult to serve."
"Can you give me an example?"
"Are the working hours super fierce?"
"I was always scared every time I saw him, but I don't know what happened in the past month, he didn't seem as scary as before."
"Assistant Jing, tell us in detail."
Jing Yi: "What?"
"Tell me what Mr. Li is like normally?"
There were many snacks in the tea room. There were already several empty potato chip bags in front of Jing Yi. He took a bite of the strawberry Daifuku and said, "He curses people fiercely."
"..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi continued: "And he's good at deducting wages."
"ah?"
"I said that Mr. Li looked like he had a tendency to domestic violence."
"Assistant Jing, you can tell from the looks of it that he's been through a lot. Come here, there's a piece of pizza. Assistant Jing, you can eat it to replenish yourself."
Jing Yi accepted it with a smile.
If you want to have a good relationship with your colleagues in the workplace, there is only one way - mindlessly scold your boss.
The harsher the scolding, the closer the relationship.
As he kept cursing, he always felt a chill on his back.
Is it an illusion?
"Assistant Jing, why do you want to stay with Mr. Li and suffer like this?" Someone asked, "With your ability, you can definitely find a better job."
[You have overestimated me, young man. With my ability as a useless college student, apart from the Li family, which is very tolerant, there is really no place for me to stay anywhere else...]
"Ah..." Jing Yi took a bite of pizza and sighed, "I can't help it. He gave me too much."
"..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He couldn't help wanting to pick up the young butler and beat him up, so he coughed lightly, and the chattering in the tea room immediately shut up and turned into a nest of cautious quails.
Li Wenzhao walked in with a sullen face.
All the employees turned pale and immediately found excuses to leave, fearing that they would be punished by the big boss if they were too late.
Only Jing Yi stood there in a daze. It was over.
Li Wenzhao approached and looked at the food that the employees were feeding him. He sneered, "Are the snacks that ruined my reputation delicious?"
Jing Yi coughed and asked with a hope: "Master, when did you come?"
Li Wenzhao: "When you were discussing whether I was difficult to get along with."
Jing Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Finished.
That means I heard it all.
Li Wenzhao: "Yes, I heard it all."
Jing Yi touched his chest and said, "How can you just listen to my thoughts? I don't even have any privacy."
Li Wenzhao sneered and tapped the table with his fingertips: "Oh, you're putting the blame on someone else."
Jing Yi: "..."
He pursed his lips and apologized: "Master, I don't really mean to say bad things about you. I'm just trying to get closer to you."
Li Wenzhao: "To get closer to the boss, do we have to speak ill of him?"
Jing Yi asked back as a matter of course: "Is there anything that can build friendship faster than scolding the boss?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
"Don't worry." Jing Yi smiled gently: "My heart is always with you."
Li Wenzhao didn't want to believe his superficial loyalty, so he said, "Get off work."
·
·
When Jing Yi returned to the Li family, he found that Li Mingzhi had also returned.
Since becoming a regular guest, Li Mingzhi followed the crew to the west for filming this weekend. He has been away from home for many days and did not say he would be back in advance, which scared the Li family.
"Young Master, you are back."
"Butler Jing, long time no see." Li Mingzhi was a little tanned, but his eyes were bright. "I've been away for so long, I missed you a lot."
Jing Yi was quite touched: "Young Master is so thoughtful."
"Hurry up, hurry up, say a few more words to me." Li Mingzhi said, "I don't have enough jokes. After filming this episode, even the director said I was too conservative."
Jing Yi was touched for a second and then fell silent: "..."
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Young Master, where does your character for variety shows come from..."
Li Mingzhi said loudly: "You."
Jing Yi: "..."
Thanks, but I'm not that crazy.
He heard a sneer in his ear, turned his head, and saw Li Wenzhao's eyebrows were slightly curved, as if he had just laughed.
"Then let's change our clothes and leave quickly, we're running out of time." Li Mingzhi said.
Jing Yi was confused: "Where to go?"
"There is a fashion dinner tonight led by our director, and many big names are invited. Big Brother is the biggest investor in our variety show and is also on the invitation list. As for Butler Jing, you can just go there to eat and drink. The food at the dinner is delicious... Hey, didn't you receive the invitation?"
Jing Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that.
The young master was still thinking about him.
As for the invitation letter, Jing Yi thought back to what happened a few days ago. The shock was so great that no one probably noticed what they had received.
"Brother?" Li Mingzhi turned to look at the man on the sofa: "Are you going?"
Li Wenzhao: "No..."
"If you don't want to go, I'll go with Butler Jing."
Li Wenzhao stood up: "Wait for me to change clothes."
Jing Yi wanted to say something, but was pushed into his room by Li Mingzhi. He did have a few sets of suitable clothes, which were bought for him by Li Mingzhi using his Young Master Card when he first came.
Jing Yi is not the protagonist, he does not need to show up in public, and his clothes do not need to be too colorful. He thought about it and chose a dark black suit with golden flowing patterns on the shoulders and left chest, which is simple and generous.
When leaving the house, Li Mingzhi looked at his clothes and exclaimed, "Looks good, Butler Jing, you look like someone from our Li family."
Jing Yi's mind immediately flashed back to the "real and fake young master" jokes he had seen over the years, "Because I rely on my clothes?"
Li Mingzhi shook his head mysteriously: "Your appearance is on the same level as our Li family members."
Jing Yi: "..."
I can tell that you mainly want to brag about yourself.
But Jing Yi was still very happy. After wearing it, his appearance and figure were still his own, and he felt at ease when being praised.
Jing Yi rarely wears this kind of formal attire and feels a little uncomfortable: "Is the waist too tight? It feels a little tight to me."
"No, it looks better this way." Li Mingzhi turned around and found that his elder brother had also come downstairs. He quickly pushed Jing Yi forward and said, "Brother, look, doesn't Butler Jing look good in this outfit?"
Jing Yi turned and looked behind him, his eyes met Li Wenzhao's, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
As expected of the main character in the novel, Li Wenzhao's appearance is beyond words, and he looks even more like a prince when wearing a dragon robe.
"Brother?" Li Mingzhi raised his hand and waved: "Why don't you say anything?"
Li Wenzhao retracted his gaze, his Adam's apple moving slightly: "Yeah, not bad."
Li Mingzhi: "I'll tell you."
·
The banquet was held in the lobby of a five-star hotel in the center of the capital city. The three of them set out from Li's house and then parted at the entrance.
Li Mingzhi was going to appear with the crew, so Jing Yi followed Li Wenzhao into the hall through the VIP channel for investors.
This banquet was large in scale, with many invited guests. There was a long queue outside the main entrance, and the organizer needed to check the invitations one by one.
As for Li Wenzhao, he could go directly to Rome through the VIP channel by revealing his identity.
Jing Yi looked at the long line next door and said, "Master, aren't we bullying others by taking advantage of our power?"
[It's so exciting to drive straight in front of so many people. ã
Li Wenzhao led him down the red carpet aisle, his expression a little indescribable: "Did you graduate from college?"
Jing Yi: "Yeah."
"The academic qualifications are inflated."
Jing Yi cast a glance at Pufa: "That's against the law."
He would never do anything that would disrupt the law.
Li Wenzhao sneered, "All college students misuse idioms like you?"
Jing Yi lowered her eyes shyly: "Others may not know, but this is how I use it."
"..."
The two chatted as they entered the banquet hall. As soon as Li Wenzhao appeared, he naturally became the target of the businessmen to make friends. Jing Yi was not interested in their polite words and just wanted to eat and drink.
"Go play." Li Wenzhao saw that he was bored: "Don't eat too much."
"It's okay." Jing Yi was eager to try: "I'll lose 10 pounds first, and then I can eat as much as I want tonight!"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Forget it, just eat.
"Don't drink, be careful not to get into trouble." Li Wenzhao instructed.
Jing Yi seemed to be tickled: "I'm not a troublemaker, I won't get into trouble."
Li Wenzhao chuckled, "Hasn't the trouble you caused been enough?"
Jing Yi recalled everything that happened after he came to the Li family. It seemed that he did have some trouble-making qualities. If Li Wenzhao hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it.
Jing Yi was rarely silent for a moment: "Well, I gave you so much face, but you keep picking on me."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
The housekeeper wasn't watching him closely and was always worried that he might jump off somewhere.
He had meant well to remind her, but he didn't expect his words to come true and Jing Yi really got him into big trouble.
·
Jing Yi left the Central Business District beside Li Wenzhao and went straight to the dining table. The theme of the banquet was just the embellishment of delicious food, so he had to eat first.
The banquet was glamorous, and the invited guests were all dressed up, gathering in groups of three or four to taste wine. After all, Jing Yi was an outsider, and he couldn't recognize who the stars were, so he just focused on tasting.
"Butler Jing."
Li Mingzhi appeared out of nowhere, wearing shiny clothes and wearing makeup. She looked much more refined, as if she had turned on two layers of beauty filters. "I knew you were here."
Jing Yi was fighting with a plate of amber grapefruit. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "Huh? Are you looking for me?"
"Didn't you say before that you liked Teacher Yuan? He's over there. I can take you to chase stars first-hand!"
Jing Yi followed the line of sight and didn't even know whether the other person was flat or round. He might be a celebrity that his original self had liked before.
He shook his head decisively and refused: "No need, young master."
"Why?"
Jing Yi fed himself a piece of red wine pear and said, "I don't like him now."
"So fast?" It has been less than a month since the last time we talked about our favorite stars.
Jing Yi said confidently: "Men's hearts are fickle."
Li Mingzhi: "..."
He glanced across the hall and saw his eldest brother standing out among the crowd. Not far away, Shen Shubai had also arrived and was secretly adding something to his cup.
"Butler Jing, Butler Jing." Li Mingzhi widened his eyes and hurriedly tried to pull the people around him.
Jing Yi was pushed by him, and the cherry almost got stuck on his neck. He picked up a drink and drank half of it: "What's wrong?"
"Shen Shubai put something in the cup. Is he trying to harm my brother?"
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw Shen Shubai being carried towards Li Wenzhao.
Li Mingzhi was worried: "Let's go and inform my brother."
"No need." Jing Yi held him back: "I'll do it."
Li Mingzhi: "...Ah? Then come on, come on."
The drink he picked up was quite delicious, with a refreshing fruity taste. Jing Yi raised his head and sipped half of the cup, then closed his eyes slightly.
Li Mingzhi: "???"
ãYoung Master! ã
Jing Yi shouted as loudly as he could in his heart.
Li Wenzhao in the crowd turned around in shock:? ?
Li Mingzhi's ears rang because of the shock: ...
[Shen Shubai tampered with the cup, don't drink anything I give you! ]
Jing Yi tilted his head and asked Li Mingzhi: "What cup did he tamper with?"
Li Mingzhi opened his mouth and shook his head: "A goblet... filled with red wine."
[Goblet! Filled with red wine! ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Li Mingzhi: "..."
Then, he turned his head: "......???"
The young butler knew that his thoughts had been revealed?
"Okay, let's get on with it."
"..."
Jing Yi turned around and looked for the fruit drink he had just drunk. Li Mingzhi quickly said, "This is fruit wine. Although it doesn't taste like alcohol, the alcohol content is quite high. You should drink less."
Li Mingzhi rubbed his ears as he spoke, and his eardrums felt a little numb.
Jing Yi often worked part-time in his previous life, so he had developed a good alcohol tolerance. He smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll have two drinks."
"Um."
Li Mingzhi's phone rang. The director was calling him and wanted to bring them, the newcomers, to make an appearance.
Jing Yi patted him lightly: "Come on, young master, you are the fattest!"
Li Mingzhi: "..."
Everyone was busy, and Jing Yi returned to the dining table bored. He was full, but he still wanted some more delicious fruit wine.
He drank one cup after another and soon forgot what Li Mingzhi had told him.
When he came to his senses, Jing Yi had already finished all the fruit wine in front of him.
He felt his Adam's apple itchy and reached out to loosen his tie.
A small black trumpet slowly emerged from the skin in the vaguely visible collar.
Jing Yi was unaware of anything. He walked to the corner and sat down in a daze, with everything in front of him upside down.
Oh no, he seems drunk.
Still a little hot.
Jing Yi picked up the promotional leaflet next to him and fanned it, his eyes attracted by a name on it.
A small black trumpet flashed in the collar.
[Wow, Cen Mingming! Why is she still here? Didn't she evade taxes for hundreds of millions? Why hasn't she been banned yet...]
"..."
The next second, the entire hall fell silent.
"What's that sound?"
"Who is speaking?"
"Cen Mingming evaded taxes? Is this true?"
"It must be a prank. How could they steal so much..."
Shen Shubai, who was stuffing laxatives into the fruit, suddenly paused: "......???"
In the crowd, Li Wenzhao was stunned for two seconds, then immediately turned around and looked around for the butler.
The guests in the hall were talking about it, and a beautiful woman in the room turned pale.
Jing Yi leaned in the corner, squinting to look at the second name on the flyer...
[Fang, Fang Heng...]
The hall suddenly fell silent.
[Fang Heng, he's going to perform a sexy dance later. He should like it very much. After all, I often perform striptease in underground bars. It costs hundreds of thousands to watch him dance once. Wouldn't I make a fortune tonight...]
There was a sudden discussion in the hall. There was a loud noise somewhere in the hall, and an empty space appeared. The male star standing in the middle of the empty space was terrified.
The voice that sounded like the King of Hell calling your name was still ringing.
[Pei Pei, Pei Pei...]
The actress whose name was called bit her red lips, and the people around her looked at her strangely.
[I remember now, this girl was so cunning that she was busy having an affair with her brother-in-law while her own sister was still lying in bed, and she even got pregnant. It is said that she even teamed up with her brother-in-law to murder her own sister for the huge insurance... Tsk tsk. ]
The actress whose name was called fell to the ground with a thud.
The hall was in complete chaos. Many entertainment reporters at the scene smelled a big melon and picked up their microphones to chase after the three celebrities for interviews, forcing them to flee in panic.
Li Mingzhi walked through the crowd and came to Li Wenzhao: "Brother."
Li Wenzhao was still searching the messy crowd, but he couldn't see any familiar figures: "Find Jingyi first and take him out."
If the information is disclosed in public, if the person involved knows that it was Jing Yi who did it, he might take crazy actions of revenge, and the young housekeeper would be in danger.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Wenzhao and Li Mingzhi searched the hall separately, while Jing Yi huddled in a hidden corner, continuing to stretch out the judge's penââ
[This guy is called... called... Yang Zai Lun. Oh, this guy is amazing. He got together with his stepmother and loves letter toys. He often ties his stepmother up in the car in public...]
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
A man was furious and wanted to find the person who made the sound, but the sound was disembodied and seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to find any trace.
The man was so angry that he kicked over a dozen tables and chairs.
"Get out!"
"You son of a bitch, how dare you slander me!"
The reporters looked at each other and ran towards the parking lot.
The man's face turned pale: "Don't go! All of you come back here!"
The people in the hall were in panic. Those who had done bad things looked guilty, fearing that they would be called out by the King of Hell the next moment. Those who had not done bad things were eager to watch the show and were typing at high speed in various gossip sharing groups.
There were some smart people present who slowly found the pattern, "Look at the banquet brochure! The whistleblower is leaking the information according to the list of performers in the brochure!"
Everyone rushed to grab the information.
"There's another person in the brochure!"
"yes......"
"It's the best actor...Qiu Guzheng!"
There was a sudden burst of laughter from the crowd, more shocking than the previous whistleblowers.
The entertainment reporters who had just run away not far away came back again, staring at their target actor, holding up their cameras and recording devices, ready to grab a front-page headline at any time.
Jing Yi was drunk and his vision was becoming increasingly blurry. He shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
"Qiu... um."
His mouth was covered.
The cool scent of men's perfume wafted towards him from the front, and a broad chest wrapped around him, giving him a sense of security.
A familiar voice said in my ear: "Jingyi, listen, don't think too much, and don't speak. Let's go out first."
Jing Yi was confused.
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
But before he could struggle, Li Wenzhao grabbed him by the waist and took him away forcibly.
Everyone at the scene waited anxiously for a long time, but still didn't hear any news, so they couldn't help but start talking.
"It won't explode, will it?"
"It's been so long, it seems there is no follow-up."
"It seems like the best actor should be fine..."
Qiu Guzheng also recovered from his shock and quickly returned to normal, smiling and raising his glass: "I don't know which friend is joking here, it really scared me..."
Jing Yi, who was buried in Li Wenzhao's arms, heard the voice, poked his head out, and vaguely saw a figure.
"I, Qiu Guzheng, have been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and am passionate about charity. I have nothing to reveal, so please forgive me for making fun of you."
Hearing this, Jing Yi curled his lips.
[Bullshit, you are the worst. You raped underage boys before you even debuted. You are even more unscrupulous now that you are famous. If this happened in ancient times, you would be a traitor. I really want to give you two big cunts... What a bastard, you deserve to be the best actor? ]
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He covered the butler's mouth, but he couldn't cover his heart, which still burst out.
After Jing Yi finished speaking, he threw away the brochure in his hand. The King of Hell had finished calling the names, and the Book of Life and Death was temporarily useless.
[Tonight's banquet has a star lineup...]
ãStars are all empty! ã
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Chapter 33 Group Collapse
After exiting the hotel lobby from the side door, Li Wenzhao quickly carried the person into the car and told Uncle Lin to leave quickly. It was as if they were escaping from a disaster. Seeing this, Uncle Lin drove the car even faster.
The hotel receded into the distance behind us.
Li Wenzhao didn't dare to relax either. He didn't know why the butler's secrets were suddenly leaked to a large group of people, nor did he know how far the secrets would spread. He was afraid that the butler would force out his identity in his mind, which would definitely cause an uproar. He could only stay away from the hotel as much as possible.
Jing Yi was unhappy with having his mouth covered and started making a fuss in the back seat.
ãWhy are you covering my mouth?ã
Li Wenzhao pinched his face: "Don't talk."
ãI didn't say anything.ã
[If you don't believe me, look at my mouth and see if it moves. ]
Li Wenzhao looked at the face that was looking up at him: "..."
The carriage was closed, and he and the butler were too close. Alcohol leaked from his breath, revealing a fruity fragrance.
Li Wenzhao lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Have you been drinking?"
The young butler was drunk and shook his head simply: "No."
She still refused to admit it, and Li Wenzhao was almost laughing at her: "Didn't I tell you not to drink? You are so bold to cause such a big disaster."
Jing Yi felt very dizzy, leaning on the seat cushion and rubbing his face: "I didn't drink, I was drunk from the drink."
"..."
Li Wenzhao was about to say something when his sight suddenly paused at a certain point - the butler's shirt collar was ruffled a lot, his bow tie was askew, and a small tattoo-like mark was exposed in the open collar.
Li Wenzhao lifted Jing Yi's warm collar with his long fingers and touched her soft skin: "What is this?"
Jing Yi moved his body due to the itch: "It's my well-defined Adam's apple."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Li Wenzhao asked.
He needed to confirm whether leaking his secrets on a large scale would harm the butler's health.
If so, he would have to invite Yin Liancheng home immediately, and in order to ensure that the housekeeper's secret would not be leaked, he would have to sign another confidentiality agreement with Yin Liancheng.
Jing Yi frowned: "...Yes."
Li Wenzhao's eyes darkened: "Where does it hurt?"
Jing Yi took the hand off his neck: "Itchy, giggle, giggle, giggle."
"..."
It was his fault for chatting about serious matters with a drunkard.
The butler had a small tattoo printed on his collar. It was in the shape of a trumpet and appeared out of thin air just below his Adam's apple. It was strange and startling.
When he was able to hear his inner voice for the first time, Li Wenzhao wondered how the butler did it, and he also privately checked the top research in various countries, but there was no scientific research that showed that a person's inner world could be released through acquired means.
Now seeing the tattoo, Li Wenzhao only had a vague guess.
The external sound comes from this small speaker tattoo.
But after thinking this through, more questions came up - why can only the Li family hear the loudspeaker? Why is it Jing Yi? Where did he get the loudspeaker? Why did it suddenly go out of control tonight and cause a large-scale amplification?
For the last question, Li Wenzhao looked at the drunken boy next to him and easily came up with the answer - alcohol.
The drunken butler is simply a megaphone.
I don't know if I can change back after I sober up.
Li Wenzhao rubbed his head in annoyance. The phone on his lap rang. [Brother, have you found Butler Jing? There is no sound here.]
Li Wenzhao then remembered his brother whom he had left behind: [I found him. I will take him home first and let Uncle Lin pick you up later.]
[Li Mingzhi]: Oh ok, is Butler Jing okay? How come the speaker suddenly became so powerful?
Li Wenzhao was distracted for a moment. Just as he finished replying to the message, he felt a sinking sensation on his shoulder and a furry head landed on his shoulder.
Jingyi: zzzzz...
·
The car arrived at Li's house forty minutes later. Jing Yi fell into a deep sleep, with a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.
Li Wenzhao carried the drunk out of the car, and Uncle Lin hurriedly said, "Let me do it, young master."
"No need." Li Wenzhao said calmly, "Go pick up Mingzhi."
Uncle Lin was stunned: "Okay."
The little housekeeper has a big appetite, but he is very light in weight. I don't know where all the food he stuffed into his stomach for so many days has been digested.
Li Wenzhao stepped into the house.
Nanny Fang was cleaning the living room. She turned around and saw Li Wenzhao carrying someone in. She subconsciously thought it was Li Mingzhi: "Master, what happened to the young master?"
When she got closer, Aunt Fang saw Jing Yi's flushed face. "This is Butler Jing. His face is so red. Is he sick?"
"I'm not sick, I just drank too much." Li Wenzhao said, "Aunt Fang, make a bowl of sobering soup and send it to the housekeeper's room."
Aunt Fang: "Ah... OK."
She stood there in a daze, watching Li Wenzhao carry the person away.
The servants' rooms of the Li family are all located behind the main house. The housekeeper's room is the largest and is equipped with an independent bathroom.
This was the first time Li Wenzhao entered Jingyi's room. It was clean and tidy, and the big bed in the middle of the room looked particularly soft.
As soon as he put Jingyi on the bed, he opened his eyes drowsily.
ãAre you home yet? ã
[Yes, that's right, this is my glutinous rice ball bed...]
Jing Yi's mind was briefly clear. He kicked off his shoes and crawled into bed. He rolled himself into a rice dumpling made of fermented rice wine, snuggled into the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
zzzzzz......
Before Li Wenzhao could retract his outstretched arm, the person he was hugging had already fallen into a deep sleep again: "..."
As if he was just a porter.
Li Wenzhao stood quietly at the end of the bed. After a long time, he stretched out his fingers and pinched Jiuniang Yuanzi's red earlobe as a punishment.
Snapââ
The person on the bed moved dissatisfiedly, slapped Li Wenzhao's hand away, turned over and continued to masturbate.
"..."
·
·
The next day, Jing Yi woke up to the sound of his cell phone ding-donging. Feeling dizzy, he rubbed his head and hissed.
It's terrible. The drink I drank last night had a strong aftereffect.
Jing Yi lay on the bed in a daze for a long time. He felt like he had a dream. The content was quite exciting, but he forgot it after waking up. Only a few incoherent and blurry scenes were left. It seemed like he was doing justice for the heavens. What a pity that there was no video footage of such a righteous scene.
After washing up, Jing Yi walked out the door.
He got up a little late. The servants of the Li family were all doing their jobs, but he slept until noon.
Jing Yi felt a little embarrassed and turned to go to the restaurant.
"Housekeeper Jing, you're awake." Aunt Fang said with a smile, "Just in time, the hangover soup is still warm. Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you."
Jing Yi was flattered: "Thank you, Aunt Fang."
"fine."
In the restaurant, Li Wenzhao was eating with an electronic version of financial news at hand.
Jing Yi glanced at the time and was surprised: "Master, you didn't go to work?"
It's already eleven o'clock.
"Yeah." Li Wenzhao looked over and glanced at Jingyi's Adam's apple. It was white and the tattoo was gone.
He withdrew his gaze calmly: "I will take a break this morning and work in the afternoon."
Jing Yi nodded in agreement: "What a scientific schedule."
If only it could always be like this.
Aunt Fang came up with the soup. Li Wenzhao wanted to test whether the housekeeper's inner voice speaker was still out of control, "Jingyi."
"Um?"
"Bring me a spoon."
"oh."
The butler turned and left.
Li Wenzhao: "???"
Why don't you force others in your heart?
Jing Yi came back with the spoon and sat down to drink the soup. He had never drunk hangover soup before and wanted to taste the saltiness.
Li Wenzhao: "Jingyi."
"Um."
"Get another pair of chopsticks."
Jing Yi looked over with a strange look: "Don't you have it on hand?"
Li Wenzhao remained calm: "It's dirty."
Jing Yi stared at him suspiciously for two seconds, then stood up and got a new pair of chopsticks.
However, just as he sat down, Li Wenzhao on the opposite side spoke again: "Give me some more salt."
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, then began to show his claws.
[Master, are you toothpaste? ]
[Squeeze a little, come a little, can't you finish it all at once? ã
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He raised his eyes to look at Aunt Fang, who looked normal, and her expression did not show that she had heard anything against Tian Gang. It seemed that her inner voice speaker had returned to normal.
Seeing Li Wenzhao calm down, Jing Yi was suspiciousââ
[What's going on? Why do I feel like the young master is deliberately asking for trouble...hiss, can't it be? When did he develop such a masochistic nature...]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Drink your soup.
·
·
After resting at home for half a day, Jing Yi still followed Li Wenzhao to the company to hang out and earn some extra money.
But today, Li's seems to be much more lively, and the office is full of all kinds of excited discussions.
"Have you read today's entertainment news?"
"I saw it and it blew my mind for the whole year!"
"I heard that the whistleblower disappeared mysteriously and no one could find him. I really want to know who is enforcing justice!"
"But there is no evidence to support these reports. I wonder if they are fake."
"How is that possible? Didn't you see that several people who were exposed didn't speak out? They must be guilty."
"Pei Pei and Yang Zai Lun are really explosive. I heard that the reporter really found the stepmother in the parking lot!"
"This is nothing. The most explosive one is the movie star Qiu Guzheng. I have liked him for more than ten years. If he rapes someone, I will never be a fan for the rest of my life."
[Hmm? What melon? ]
As soon as Jing Yi walked into the office, he was covered in the smell of exploding melon.
ãLet me eat it too. ã
Li Wenzhao saw the eagerness in his eyes and laughed: "Want to eat melon?"
Jing Yi turned his head quickly, "Master, you want to eat too?"
"I don't eat." Li Wenzhao said: "I usually just watch the scene."
"......?"
A question mark slowly emerged in Jing Yi's mind. Can the collapse of a house be witnessed live?
Why didn't you call him for such a good thing? !
Li Wenzhao asked: "Did you check your phone when you woke up early?"
Jing Yi: "No."
After a moment of hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and was immediately stunned by the dozen or so notifications on the screen.
#Cen Mingming's tax evasion is confirmed, the amount is as high as 500 million! #
#The popular male star Fang is actually the top star in an underground bar, click to play the hot dance video#
#The younger sister knew the truth and murdered her sister on the sickbed#
#The shameful things that famous movie star Yang did with his stepmother in the underground garage#
#Actor Qiu Guzheng is involved in a rape scandal and is said to have been taken away by the police#
ã......ã
Jing Yi is speechless.
As if seeing his trance, Li Wenzhao asked meaningfully, "What do you think of the film?"
Jing Yi frowned and said, "You guys here..."
Li Wenzhao was at his leisure.
Jing Yi: "Did the collapsed house come in a group?"
He slid his fingers across the screen, [There are so many melons, I can't eat them all, I can't eat them all. ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Li Wenzhao's expression was indescribable: "You really don't remember anything?"
All Jingyi thought was: "What should I remember?"
Li Wenzhao smiled in an ambiguous way, tapped the "mysterious man" on the screen, and tapped his head: "These are all the information you revealed."
"!!!"
Jing Yi was so shocked that his heart pounded: "I...I did it?"
"Yeah." Li Wenzhao said.
You know how to be scared now, right? If you don't watch your mouth when you go out, you will definitely get into trouble. Besides being retaliated against, you might even be captured and studied.
Li Wenzhao coughed lightly: "Be good from now on..."
"Then I'm pretty awesome!" Jing Yi said excitedly: "I blew up five bad apples in one night!"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He turned and went into the office.
Jing Yi quickly scrolled through his phone, finished his bite of expired melon, and then chased into the office: "Master, how did I reveal the news?"
Li Wenzhao glanced at the butler's flawless white neck and said, "You turned into a speaker last night."
"!!!"
Jing Yi immediately asked about what happened. After listening, he was silent for two seconds, unbuttoned his collar, stretched his neck and stood in front of Li Wenzhao: "Then can you help me see if the tattoo is still there?"
A white and delicate neck suddenly appeared, and Li Wenzhao's eyes deepened for a moment: "... not here."
"Not at all?" Jing Yi grabbed his collar and leaned forward a little: "Maybe the color has faded now, take another look..."
Click, the sound of the door opening.
"President, this is this month's financial report..." Secretary Fan's calm voice came to an abrupt halt. His hands trembled and he almost dropped the document on the ground.
In the serious office, Butler Jing tore off his clothes and approached Li Wenzhao in a seductive manner.
What a great, taboo office play!
A faint light flashed across his glasses, and he turned around sleekly: "Report, I took the wrong path."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi: "..."
Li Wenzhao came back to his senses, "Jingyi."
Jing Yi pulled up his collar and said sternly to Wen Zhao, "Don't create a shocking scene in the office."
Jing Yi buttoned up his shirt and said, "Just look at your neck, why are your thoughts so muddy?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi couldn't figure out why his inner voice had turned into a megaphone, but for now, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, so he didn't plan to think about it too much.
Thinking of Shen Shubai's little trick at the banquet last night, Jing Yi asked, "Master, do you have Secretary Zou's address?"
Li Wenzhao seemed to frown: "What are you going to do?"
The young butler said solemnly: "We must make Shen Shubai deserted by his friends and relatives!"
"..." Li Wenzhao sighed: "Secretary Fan doesn't have it."
"Oh, okay." Jing Yi floated away.
·
Perhaps because he was too shocked just now, Secretary Fan was not in the Secretary-General's office. Jing Yi went around in circles before catching him in the rest area.
"Secretary Fan, do you have Secretary Zou's address?"
When Fan Ming saw him, he was startled: "...Yes."
Jing Yi raised his phone: "Please share."
The phone vibrated and Secretary Fan sent me an email address.
"..." Jing Yi emphasized: "I don't want a virtual address, I want the kind that can catch people offline."
Secretary Fan was shocked by his choice of words: "Arrest someone?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips: "It's just a little rhetoric."
"..." Fan Ming came back to his senses, found the address and sent it to Jingyi.
He hesitated and struggled for a long time, but couldn't help but speak: "Butler Jing, next time if you and Mr. Li are still playing around in the office, you should lock the door."
"..."
[play.]
Jing Yi immediately narrowed his eyes and looked over vigilantly: "Okay, you are also a secretary with muddy thoughts!"
Secretary Fan: "..."
While placing an order for civil service exam materials, Jing Yi brainwashed Fan Ming: "They are all boys, what's wrong with their necks? Don't wear tinted glasses, Secretary Fan."
Fan Ming seemed to have discovered something: "Butler Jing, is this how you have always viewed Mr. Li?"
Jing Yi said nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Fan Ming smiled meaningfully: "Oh, that's good."
Jing Yi turned his face away: "But your expression doesn't say that."
Fan Ming: "?"
Jing Yi stared at him: "Your expression seems to be full of mosaics."
Fan Ming: "..."
He looked away and saw Jing Yi open the payment interface, and filled in Secretary Zou's home as the address. "What did you buy for Secretary Zou?"
Jing Yi: "A complete guide to poaching."
Fan Ming disagreed: "Secretary Zou is the most loyal person around Mr. Shen. It is unlikely that anything you send will succeed."
Jing Yi typed in the password: "It will work. I am recruiting talents on behalf of the country!"
"?"
Secretary Fan leaned over to look at the payment interface and understood: "Butler Jing, not all Shandong people aspire to take the civil service exam. This is just a stereotype."
"I know." Jing Yi paid the bill and turned off his phone. "Send him some information to tempt him. He comes from a province with a lot of civil service exams. I don't believe he won't be tempted!"
"..."
Chapter 34 Silly Housekeeper
On the third day after he mailed the real civil service exam questions to Secretary Zou, Jing Yi received a reply. Secretary Zou got his contact information from somewhere and couldn't help but send him a message that morning.
[Unknown number]: Assistant Jing?
At that time, Jing Yi was sitting in Li Wenzhao's car, rushing to work at Li's company. When he saw the unfamiliar number, he cautiously replied with an expression.
[Your Uncle Jing]: 0.o?
[Unknown number]: I am Zou Ting.
[Your Uncle Jing]: o.0?
[Unknown number]: ...
[Unknown number]: I am the general secretary of Shen Group.
oh.
Jing Yi suddenly understood that Secretary Zou was not called Secretary Zou. He dragged the person into the friend list and changed the note.
[Secretary Zou next door]: It was you who sent me the real civil service exam questions, right?
It turned out that I received it so quickly, Jing Yi pursed his lips.
[Your Uncle Jing]: Yes.
[Secretary Zou next door]: Assistant Jing, thank you for your hard work, but I am not interested in serving the country. I prefer the intrigues and deceptions of the business world.
Jing Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then typed seriouslyââ
[Uncle Jing]: Have you seen it?
After a few seconds, the other side replied: [...I saw it.]
Jing Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Ha."
[You say no, but your body is obedient]
Li Wenzhao, who was reading the financial newspaper, glanced sideways and asked, "What unhealthy things are you reading?"
Jing Yi came over to share today's happiness: "Secretary Zou is trapped."
Li Wenzhao glanced at it and said, "Even if I look at it, I may not be tested."
Jing Yi sat back in his seat: "You don't understand, once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be closed again."
He buried his head in typing: [Have you done the questions?]
[Secretary Zou next door]: No.
[Secretary Zou next door]: But I took a quick look at it and it's not difficult.
[Your Uncle Jing]: â.â
[Secretary Zou next door]: 0.o?
[Your Uncle Jing]: I don't believe it.
[Secretary Zou next door]: Wait, I'll make a set for you when I have time.
Jing Yi waved the phone in front of Li Wenzhao, "Look, he has been kidnapped by the evil thoughts released by the magic box. The next step is the exam."
[Ha, workplace competition, small business war, easy to handle! ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He looked at the butler's enthusiastic expression and was also infected, slightly curling the corners of his lips.
"Young Master, Young Master." Jing Yi turned his head to look out the window, patted Li Wenzhao on the leg, and said clearly: "Breakfast and milk tea seem to go well together."
Li Wenzhao glanced at the hand that fell on his leg and reminded, "You're going to be late."
Jing Yi started to bully people in front of them.
[What's there to be afraid of? Being late with your boss doesn't count as being late.]
"..."
·
Ten minutes later, Jing Yi came into the company carrying a few cups of milk tea and generously gave Li Wenzhao one.
"You bought so much, can you finish it?" Li Wenzhao asked.
"Of course I didn't drink it myself." Jing Yi said, "I also brought a cup for Secretary Fan. He has taken good care of me since I joined the company."
Li Wenzhao laughed and taunted in a low voice: "Well, he was demoted ten levels in a row. You should thank him."
"..."
Jing Yi obediently retreated to the secretariat.
·
Li Wenzhao hasn't arrived yet, so there is no work for the time being. Fan Ming is chatting with several colleagues from the secretariat. It's very lively and he seems to be in very good spirits.
"Secretary Fan." Jing Yi spoke.
"Jing..." Fan Ming was stunned, and then changed his words smoothly: "The assistant is here."
Jing Yi cast a meaningful glance at him: Look, you are not skilled again.
Fan Ming: "..."
"We passed by a milk tea shop and bought some milk tea and desserts. Let's try them together." Jing Yi was glad that he was greedy and bought some small cakes and bread next to the milk tea shop, otherwise there would not be enough to share.
"Wow, thank you Assistant Jing."
"This milk tea shop has a good reputation, and the small cakes are delicious too. Assistant Jing spent a lot of money."
The employees tasted the food generously and gave Jingyi some snacks they brought with them. After chatting for a while, Fan Ming sent Jingyi out.
Seeing that Fan Ming was not in high spirits, Jing Yi frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Secretary Fan? With such a high salary, do you still have any major worries?"
"..."
"Not really." Fan Ming said with a little distress, "It was Secretary Zou from Shen's who sent me a set of questions this morning for no apparent reason and asked me to feel the difficulty."
Jing Yi was alert for a second.
It's terrible. How come the boomerang he threw hit Secretary Fan?
Could it be that Zou Ting next door also wants to copy and paste and pry Secretary Fan away?
How can that be possible!
Jing Yi quickly asked: "Did you do it?"
Fan Ming: "No, I don't understand many questions."
Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Fan Ming with a hint of encouragement: "Oh, then it's okay, you can get busy."
Fan Ming: "?"
·

When he returned to the office, Li Wenzhao was holding a small meeting with several department managers. The door was open, but the atmosphere was very serious. Jing Yi stood outside for a while.
Ten minutes later, several department managers came out as if they were facing a great enemy, with sweat all over their foreheads.
Only at this time would Jing Yi remember that Li Wenzhao was a domineering boss who was very capable at work and often put a lot of pressure on his subordinates.
Jing Yi knocked on the door gently: "Boss Li, can I come in?"
The clear voice was filled with caution, like a child who was afraid of being scolded after running out to play. Li Wenzhao's brows relaxed for a moment, and the emotion of being hurt by his subordinates disappeared.
He said, "Come in."
Jing Yi slid quietly to his workstation.
Li Wenzhao saw him coming back empty-handed, his eyebrows jumped: "Have you finished the milk tea and dessert?"
His eyes involuntarily drooped down and saw the butler's flat belly, which did not look like he had eaten everything.
"No." Jing Yi said, "I gave it to my friends in the secretariat."
Li Wenzhao was surprised to think: "How long have we been together and we have become friends?"
Jing Yi paused, and said in a guilty tone: "We are all like-minded, so we can establish a common language."
Li Wenzhao didn't even think twice: "By scolding the boss?"
Jing Yi: "......!"
It's incredible, Li Wenzhao can now read eyes!
Jing Yi quickly expressed his loyalty: "I am the fourth one. In my heart, I think that you, the young master, are handsome and suave."
[I just occasionally heard them say a few words when they were complaining...that's all]
A sneer fell on his face.
Jing Yi realized later that his thoughts were being overheard again, and quickly covered his chest, [Eavesdropping is illegal.]
Li Wenzhao said calmly: "The noise disturbs the people."
Noise himself: "..."
Put the blame on someone else!
At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Fan Ming came in to report: "Boss Li, there is a small problem at Shengshi. The artists who wanted to terminate their contracts before are banding together for unknown reasons, saying that the contract period has not yet expired and demanding compensation from the company, otherwise they will go to court."
Li Wenzhao didn't even think twice: "Let them sue."
Secretary Fan nodded: "Also, Mr. Shen invites you to play ball on Saturday afternoon."
Jing Yi sipped the milk tea, and his two round eyes appeared above the folder:?
He remembered that there was such a passage in the novel. The Li family suffered a series of scandals and its reputation declined. In order to make the Li family unable to recover, Shen Shubai acted as a matchmaker for Li Wenzhao... with ulterior motives.
Li Wenzhao: "......?"
Jing Yi continued to recall with his eyes fixed on the past.
The matchmaker was Huo Cenxin, who had previously tried to drug Li Wenzhao.
In the original text, Li Wenzhao had a good impression of Huo Cenxin because Huo Cenxin was related to the Shen family. Li Wenzhao loved Huo Cenxin and planned to reconcile with the Shen family, not interfering with each other or doing anything behind their backs.
Shen Shubai pretended to agree, but at the last minute, he teamed up with Huo Cenxin to trick Li Wenzhao.
Jing Yi looked at the man next to himââ
But now Li Wenzhao has not had any contact with Huo Cenxin, and he doesn't know if anything will change, and...
[For a man like Li Wenzhao who has a hidden explosive love brain, I wonder if he will be so bewildered by Huo Cenxin that he will be dazzled at the last moment...]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
What kind of fool is he in the eyes of the young housekeeper.
"Got it." Li Wenzhao said, "Reply to Mr. Shen and I will be there on time this weekend."
As soon as Secretary Fan left, Jing Yi started to chatter: "Are you really going?"
Li Wenzhao: "Yeah."
Li's company has been developing smoothly recently, but Shen's company has suffered several failures in succession. Shen Shubai is so quiet, he must be planning something big. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative.
Besides, Li Wenzhao looked at the housekeeper beside him and said, "I also have a cheat."
Jing Yi inexplicably understood Li Wenzhao's meaning and pursed her lips reservedly: "Master, you are too kind."
Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "It's good to cheat, but there are too many bugs."
"..." Jing Yi paused: "I don't want to use cheats either."
Li Wenzhao said: "The trumpet hasn't appeared recently. It seems that it will only explode when stimulated by alcohol. You should abstain from alcohol in the future. If you feel unwell, you can go to see Doctor Yin anytime. Do you understand?"
"Uh-huh."
Jing Yi nodded, not knowing what he was thinking of, and chuckled a few times: "Master, if I go to the hospital in my situation, which department should I go to?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi continued to think, counting on his fingers: "Cardiology? Otolaryngology? Or..."
Li Wenzhao said firmly: "Psychiatry."
"..."
·
The weekend is just a few days away.
Jing Yi forgot that he was going to play basketball with the protagonist brother. He stayed up late at night to watch TV series and short videos. He didn't fall asleep until the early morning. When he went out at noon, his head was still confused.
Aunt Fang saw his disoriented expression and brought him a bowl of freshly squeezed soy milk. "Butler Jing, you don't look well. Are you sick?"
Jing Yi suddenly felt warm: "I'm not sick, I just stayed up late."
Aunt Fang said: "It's not good for children to stay up late. It's bad for their health. They should go to bed early."
Jing Yi hummed in a very half-hearted manner.
When Li Wenzhao was ready to go downstairs, he saw Jingyi had two dark circles under his eyes.
Staying up late again.
Li Wenzhao said, "I'll have someone move the bed out of your room this afternoon."
Jing Yi blinked, puzzled: "Why do you want to move? That's mine."
Li Wenzhao said: "I don't think you need it. It would be a waste if you don't use it."
Jing Yi: "..."
He said unconvincedly: "The weekend is meant for catching up on sleep. I'm exhausted from working all week, so can't I just stay up late and relax after coming home?"
Li Wenzhao asked: "Are you relaxed?"
Jing Yi paused, his shoulders slumped: "No."
I feel even more tired after staying up all night, and my eyes are sore.
"Aunt Fang." Li Wenzhao turned around and said, "Starting today, the housekeeper's room will be disconnected from the internet and electricity at 11pm."
Jing Yi: "!!!"
Aunt Fang chuckled twice, "Okay, young master."
The arm was not as strong as the thigh, Jing Yi whispered to himself and buried his head in eating.
Li Wenzhao listened to him mumbling in silence and raised his eyebrows: "Not convinced?"
Jing Yi said, "No."
Li Wenzhao knew he was lying. Seeing the housekeeper's listless appearance, he changed his words without any mercy: "Can't we play during the day? Why do we have to delay our sleep time?"
"I also want to go to bed early, but my phone won't let me go." Jing Yi sighed, looking quite distressed: "I must have been a street lamp in my previous life. I was born to stay up late."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
·
·
In the afternoon, the two set out from Li's house.
After dinner, he began to feel sleepy. As soon as he got in the car, the butler curled himself up in the back seat and said, "Master, can I sleep here for a while?"
Li Wenzhao looked at him and asked, "Execute first and report later?"
Jing Yi bowed and said, "First courtesy, then force."
"..."
Li Wenzhao was almost laughing at his messy idioms, but he didn't chase him away. He got in the car and asked Uncle Lin to go to the designated address.
Jing Yi was so bold as to fall asleep in the back seat and dozed off all the way to the destination.
When Li Wenzhao woke me up and asked me to get out of the car, I was still not fully conscious. My legs went weak and I almost had a close contact with Mother Earth.
Li Wenzhao performed a familiar salvaging motion, so fast that even he was surprised: "..."
Jing Yi was startled by the feeling of falling at such a high speed and woke up completely, "Thank you, young master."
"You're welcome." Li Wenzhao said, "I'm used to it."
"..."
The court was reserved by Shen Shubai. As soon as he got off the car, someone came to greet him. It was a stranger he had never met before. "I'm Mr. Shen's assistant. I've come to pick up Mr. Li."
Li Wenzhao hummed, "Let's go."
Jing Yi looked at the empty court. Shen Shubai was standing on the grass in the distance. He was curious: "Is Secretary Zou not here?"
He also wanted to stimulate his determination to take the civil service exam after they met.
The assistant said: "He has something to do today, so he asked for leave."
Jing Yi hissed, "Secretary Zou, you're not still staying at home practicing real test questions, are you?"
·
Arriving at the golf course, Shen Shubai was hitting a shot in a handsome posture with the company of his caddy. Jing Yi looked over and saw, what? It didn't go in.
"Butler Jing is here too." Shen Shubai turned around and used his golf club as a cane: "Boss Li takes you with him wherever he goes. It seems like he has become your confidant."
Li Wenzhao looked normal: "Mr. Shen seems to care about the people around me?"
"Our two companies have been working together for such a long time, it's normal to pay more attention to them." Shen Shubai said: "Besides, I personally admire talents like Butler Jing."
Li Wenzhao smiled gently: "It's really good, especially the business warfare tactics, which are unique."
Shen Shubai: "..."
Don't ask, asking will break your defense.
"Let's play a few rounds first before we talk?" Shen Shubai said gritting his teeth.
Li Wenzhao took the club from the caddy: "Okay."
Jing Yi didn't know how to play, nor did he understand the difference between a high-end sport like golf and table tennis. He watched for a while and then stood in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air.
The entire hilltop was occupied, and there was not even a single person in sight in the distance. Jing Yi was feeling bored when his cell phone suddenly rang several times.
[Secretary Zou next door]: Assistant Jing, I told you that these questions are really not difficult.
[Secretary Zou next door]: [Picture] [Picture]...
What Secretary Zou passed over was a scanned version of the civil service exam papers, Paper 1, 80, and Paper 2, 85.
Jing Yi was shocked: "..."
[Secretary Zou next door]: The full score is 200, and the total score is 165. Can you prove what I said?
Jingyi's pupils trembled.
What's got you trapped at home on the weekends to study real exam questions, Secretary Zou next door!
[Your Uncle Jing]: Secretary Zou, strong!
[Secretary Zou next door]: Actually, I didn't perform very well in this set. I was distracted in the middle and made an expedited report for Mr. Shen. If I do another set carefully, I will definitely get a higher score. [Smart Pushing Glasses.jpg]
[Your Uncle Jing]: ...
·
Li Wenzhao and Shen Shubai each finished their rounds, chatted for a while, and began to compliment each other before getting down to business.
"I heard that Li's company is planning to enter the high-tech industry recently. I wonder if they have enough funds?" Shen Shubai asked with a smile.
Li Wenzhao remained calm: "Not bad, I haven't reached the point of worshipping Ultraman yet."
"..." Shen Shubai's hands tightened.
He took two quick breaths, suppressed his anger, and continued: "If you need help, our Shen Group can provide friendly sponsorship."
Li Wenzhao: "No, but to thank Mr. Shen for his deep friendship, I will send you a bag of fresh bamboo shoots tomorrow."
Shen Shubai: "..."
Li Wenzhao smiled lightly: "I heard that Master Guan from Shen's Group has been moved away?"
"No." Shen Shubai smiled wryly, "Sent it for maintenance."
"Oh, what a pity." Li Wenzhao said, "I have a statue of Liu Bei over there, but I don't know how to worship it. I would like to ask Mr. Shen for advice."
"..." Shen Shubai couldn't help it: "Is it interesting?"
Li Wenzhao said: "Not bad."
It's just far worse than teasing the little housekeeper.
Shen Shubai was so angry that he threw away his golf club: "Li Wenzhao, I hope you can still laugh next month."
He made a vicious remark, threw down his hat and gloves and walked away.
Jing Yi ran over and said, "Master, are you done fighting?"
"Um."
Jing Yi looked at Shen Shubai's angry back. This man seemed to be very angry. His back was murderous. He smashed many flowers, plants and trees along the way. Occasionally, he turned around and glared at Li Wenzhao fiercely, with his mouth opening and closing.
Jing Yi couldn't hear clearly what he said, but judging from the shape of his mouth, he cursed quite dirty.
Jing Yi sighed: "It seems like his defense is broken."
Li Wenzhao said nonchalantly: "I helped him recall the recent business achievements."
Jing Yi: "..."
No wonder then.
They agreed to play ball, but the person who invited them left halfway through the game. Jing Yi looked at the quiet grass field and asked, "Are we just going back like this?"
"Um."
Jing Yi was incredulous: "We traveled a long way, and he just left like that?"
Where is Huo Cenxin?
What about matchmaking?
Brother Protagonist, you are dishonest?
"..." Li Wenzhao glanced at him and said, "It's not all in vain. Shen Shubai has taken action against the Li family. It should be effective next month. I will check it carefully when I return."
Jing Yi: "Yes, check it carefully."
ãAfter all, there are too many criminals around you. ã
"..."
Li Wenzhao put down his golf club, not wanting to argue with him on this topic: "If you want to play for a while, you can."
Anyway, it's Shen Shubai who booked the venue, so it's free.
Jing Yi looked at the court and shook his head: "I'm more interested in food."
Li Wenzhao sneered: "You are only interested in food."
Jing Yi pursed her lips and said reservedly: "It's okay."
Li Wenzhao: "Too modest."
He walked in one direction, and Jing Yi looked at the car in the distance: "Aren't you going back?"
Li Wenzhao kept walking: "The fish here is good. Now that we are here, let's try some before we leave."
Jing Yi swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to try it."
"..."
The two of them went to the restaurant. On the way, Jing Yi saw a restroom, so he asked Li Wenzhao to order food first.
Li Wenzhao was a little worried: "Do you know the way?"
"Of course." Jing Yi pointed to the road sign on the side of the road: "I'm not directionally challenged, just follow the arrows."
Li Wenzhao smiled and went to the restaurant to wait for him.
After coming out of the bathroom, Jingyi followed the signposts all the way to a fork in the road, but didn't see the next signpost.
Jing Yi:?
There were no signposts, so I just followed my intuition.
Twenty minutes later, Jing Yi stood in front of a bamboo forest, staring at the bamboo shoots among the dead leaves in a daze.
After leaving the bathroom, he had been walking around the area for twenty minutes.
"..."
Li Wenzhao waited in the restaurant for a long time but no one showed up. He took out his phone and sent a message: [Where are you?]
[Little Butler]: [Location]
Li Wenzhao clicked on it and saw that it was more than a kilometer away from the restaurant. If he walked further, he would be on the national highway outside the stadium. He was silent.
[Li]: What are you doing in the bamboo forest?
Jing Yi stared at the bamboo shoots in front of him: [See how bamboo shoots transform into green bamboo.]
Li Wenzhao was speechless: "..."
Why is the butler so stubborn?
[Li]: Lost?
"......"The young master really understands him well.
Jing Yi squatted in the bamboo leaves and replied: [You may not believe it, but I encountered a ghost wall.]
[Li]: ...
[Li]: You're not directionally challenged, so just follow the signs, right?
Jing Yi: "..."
There are many paths in this stadium, all tangled together, and there are not enough signposts. Shen Shubai has booked the stadium, but he has been walking for half a day without seeing a single person. How could he not go wrong?
He typed unconvincedly: [You can't blame me entirely. There are no roads in the world. There are too many people wandering around, so I don't know how to walk.]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
[Li]: Stand still.
A question mark slowly appeared above Jing Yi's head. Is the young master going to come and pick him up in person?
A few minutes later, Li Wenzhao walked into the bamboo forest according to the location. He glanced around and saw his lost butler squatting in the weeds by the roadside, looking like a bunch of newly sprouted mushrooms.
What are you doing without moving?
Li Wenzhao walked over and heard a mess of sounds mixed with the faint sound of bells. It was the butler squatting on the ground watching a short video.
Common tricks for making money on websites to attract traffic. Leave a comment for good luck and you will become rich tomorrow.
The young butler believed it and was squatting on the ground, replying word by word: [May the Buddha bless me, and make me worth tens of millions, with no worries about food and drink, Amitabha...]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Li Wenzhao walked over and pulled the mushroom up from the ground: "What kind of brainwashing video are you watching? Do you believe this?"
Jing Yi said to him: "It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist."
Li Wenzhao exposed him mercilessly: "You sleep at work, stay up late after get off work, and get lazy when you have free time. You still want to make a fortune. You can't embarrass yourself, so you start to embarrass Buddha?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips and said, "It's just a beautiful wish of the poor people."
Li Wenzhao straightened him up, looked at where he was squatting, and frowned: "What are you doing squatting here?"
Jing Yi said without thinking: "I'm waiting for you."
Li Wenzhao's eyes fell gently on his gentle eyebrows, "Why don't you find a place to sit for a while."
Jing Yi said: "I'm afraid you can't find me."
Li Wenzhao paused, pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Not really."
Jing Yi thought about it and realized that, yes, positioning is not that accurate. He just needs to stay within the range. Why should he just squat there and not move?
Jing Yi pursed her lips: "That's right, I am too complacent."
The rising depth in Li Wenzhao's eyes was broken, and he sighed imperceptibly: "Let's go."
Why are you sighing? Did he say the wrong thing again?
He looked up at Li Wenzhao. A gentle breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the sun shone through densely, illuminating Li Wenzhao's eyebrows and eyes, and a light was flowing in his dark eyes.
Jing Yi suddenly choked, and it took him a long time to remember what he was going to say: "Master, you don't have to come to pick me up specially. Just send me the location and I can find it myself."
Li Wenzhao turned his head and looked at him: "Are you sure?"
Jing Yi: "Yeah."
Li Wenzhao opened his lips and said, "You just said that."
Jing Yi: "..."
Oh, so you came here because you were afraid that he would get lost again.
He was startled. The look in Li Wenzhao's eyes just now was no different from the way he looked at the cake. There seemed to be some other emotions hidden in his dark eyes that he couldn't understand, like a butcher. Jing Yi almost thought that Li Wenzhao was going to sell him out for money.
But now he is relieved.
[The eldest master is really a good employer who cares about his subordinates! ]
Li Wenzhao, who could hear everything, said: "..."
He sighed softly, "Silly butler."
Chapter 35 Collapse 101
(I was not satisfied with the previous chapter, so I rewrote it, dears. The ending of the previous version may not be consistent with this one)
Jing Yi and Li Wenzhao had just returned from the suburbs when they ran into Li Xu and Li Ting, who had disappeared for a few days, at the door of their house.
Li Xu had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were slightly sunken, a blue beard had grown on his chin, and he looked very bad.
Jing Yi poked his head out from behind Li Wenzhao to take a look.
What is going on here?
There is no such paragraph in the original text!
"Brother..." Li Xu was distraught: "She doesn't forgive me, nor does she accept me."
Jing Yi retracted his head: [Oh, emotional pain. ]
Li Wenzhao pushed the restless head beside him back and asked, "Where's Miss Xie?"
Li Ting sighed, "Originally, Miss Xie went to the mountains to collect folk songs, and my second brother followed her all the way, but ended up pissing her off. Now she wants to stay in the local area to teach, and she refuses to come back. On the way back, my second brother encountered a landslide and was buried for several hours. After he came out, he was like this."
"Second brother." Li Wenzhao said calmly, "Go home first, wash up and rest. If you have anything to say, talk after you wake up."
Li Xu was dejected and didn't say a word. Finally, Li Ting carried the man back to the room.
Li Wenzhao caught the person hiding behind him and asked, "Why are you hiding?"
"The second young master is in a bad mood." Jing Yi said.
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: "So?" What is the relationship between the two?
Jing Yi said calmly: "I am full and my face is rosy. I am afraid of upsetting the Second Young Master."
Li Wenzhao seemed to chuckle: "The second brother is not so stingy."
Jing Yi nodded in agreement.
Well, he is almost dying now.
·
After staying outside for a day, Jing Yi was very worried that his bed had been moved away by Li Wenzhao, so he hurried back to the room and saw that the bed was still there, just as it was when he left.
Jing Yi felt relieved, changed into clean clothes, and threw himself on the bed.
He felt good.
Dinner time was moved forward half an hour because the other two young masters in the family had returned. Li Xu still looked so pitiful, so Aunt Fang specially stewed a pot of black chicken soup, and the whole table of food was mainly for nourishment.
However, Li Xu had no appetite, and his eating movements were just imitating a sloth.
Li Wenzhao came back after having a full meal with Jingyi outside. The young butler had a good appetite and everything tasted delicious to him. Even Li Wenzhao couldn't help but eat a little more. Before he could react, he was full. He held the bowl and drank some soup without touching his chopsticks.
Li Ting had been digging in the wild mountains for several hours and was very hungry. Seeing that Li Wenzhao had stopped eating, he was curious: "Brother, why aren't you eating? Are you not eating well?"
"No." Li Wenzhao said, "I came back from having a full meal with Jingyi."
Li Ting snorted and laughed: "Are you sure he came back only after he had eaten his fill?"
?
Li Wenzhao turned his head and looked towards the end of the table.
Today's dinner was very sumptuous. Jingyi picked up grilled wings, pork ribs with preserved plums and stewed corn, and scooped a bowl of soft black chicken soup. He sat at the table and ate without looking up.
The brothers of the Li family received elite education since childhood, and had strict requirements on their physical posture, so even when eating, they would keep their backs straight, have an elegant posture, and chew slowly while holding the bowl and chopsticks.
Unlike the little housekeeper, who buried his head in the bowl and dug into the rice to eat.
Li Mingzhi was still adding more food to his plate: "Butler Jing, eat slowly, there's more."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
It seemed like he and the butler had different stomachs.
"That's enough, young master." Jing Yi hugged the bowl and tried to stop him: "I can't eat anymore."
Li Mingzhi was still not satisfied: "I was afraid that you couldn't beat Third Brother, so I quickly helped you grab these."
Li Ting:?
You are really my good brother.
Jing Yi was touched: "Next time, young master, I'll hold on."
Li Ting looked at Jing Yi with interest and snorted, "Butler Jing, you look more like a refugee than my second brother."
Jing Yi: "..."
Li Xu raised his head from the bowl: "......?"
After finishing the meal, Jing Yi felt full and slumped in the chair to relax alone.
Li Wenzhao gave him some hawthorn slices to help him digest food, "You never learn your lesson and only stop when you're full."
Jing Yi said: "It's like this, you can only think about losing weight after you have eaten and drunk enough."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
·
The weekend is over and it's Monday again.
Li Wenzhao and Jing Yi had just entered the office when Fan Ming rushed in like a whirlwind, saying excitedly, "Boss Li, I found out everything!"
Jing Yi was shocked. What a great achievement! He roared at such a loud volume.
Li Wenzhao raised his chin and asked, "What did you find out?"
Fan Ming smiled: "Shen Shubai really wants to set a trap for our Li family, but he will probably fail this time."
Fan Ming did not keep anyone in suspense and quickly explained everything he had found out in the past few days from beginning to end.
After listening to this, Jing Yi understood: "Did Shen Shubai poach the bad artists that Shengshi hadn't had time to terminate the contract with?"
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows in a good mood. He was worried about how to close this extra-curricular prison and was afraid that he would have to wear the warden's hat for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, Shen Shubai actually took it over voluntarily.
Fan Ming said excitedly, "Yes, he was hired with a high salary, and according to the contract, he paid Shengshi Company three times the liquidated damages."
Jingyi: Wowââ
What a nice guy.
Jing Yi blinked, incredulous: "All of them?"
Fan Ming nodded vigorously: "Yes, all of them."
Those artists who were being terminated by Shengshi had been making trouble in the branch for a long time and were unwilling to leave. However, the newly promoted senior executives of Shengshi were quite capable and kept the matter secret, and not a single piece of information leaked out.
For some reason, Shen Shubai set his sights on the prosperous times, hoping to cut off the source of the trouble.
These artists had no way out in the prosperous times, so they would definitely run away when they saw the olive branch. In order to make things difficult for Li Wenzhao, Shen Shubai accepted all comers and thus brought all the time bombs under his command.
The story was too fantastic. Jing Yi turned to look at Li Wenzhao who couldn't hold back his laughter and asked, "How much money can we make?"
Li Wenzhao did some calculations: "There are hundreds of artists, big and small. The termination fee is x3, so the conservative estimate is in the tens digits."
Jingyi was stunned: "Mr. Duo?"
Fan Ming praised: "Mr. Shen is such a good man, he sacrifices his own family for the sake of everyone else."
Jing Yi observed a second of silence for Shen Shubai.
After the joke, Li Wenzhao returned to his serious state and confirmed the report submitted by Shengshi. "Don't make this public for now. Shen Shubai must have another trick up his sleeve after poaching people."
Fan Ming said: "I understand."
After Fan Ming left, Jing Yi was still in shock, "Master, isn't it too rude to just accept this money?"
Li Wenzhao turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jing Yi was conflicted: "Why not send a banner to Shen Shubai?"
Otherwise, I would feel uneasy holding the money.
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He chuckled and said, "Okay, you and Secretary Fan can get ready."
·
But Shen Shubai was an impatient person, and before Jing Yi and the others had finished preparing the banner, the real attack began.
The artists who jumped ship slandered Shengshi in public and manipulated public opinion to attack Shengshi, saying it was a black-hearted entertainment company that exploited contracted artists, maliciously blacklisted artists, and set up internal unspoken rules... It made money by relying on artists to terminate their contracts, etc. Once the news came out, the entire network was shaken.
Because this was not an isolated case, but a joint report by dozens of relatively unknown artists, netizens were outraged and tore the official Weibo account of Shengshi Company to pieces.
The flames of war are about to spread to the company headquarters.
Jing Yi held his phone and watched the war on the Internet: "Are we just going to watch it?"
Fan Ming said: "Of course not, Shengshi has made all the arrangements, don't worry."
Sure enough, not long after, Shengshi Company started to fight back and found a few big whistleblower accounts to expose the negative information of the artists who had changed jobs, with every detail and evidence to prove it.
Jing Yi slid the screen: "Where did these come from?"
Fan Ming said: "Boss Li asked someone to investigate. He was originally preparing to terminate the contract, but he didn't expect Shen Shubai to do this. He just gave him the bomb."
Jing Yi giggled and shook: "Secretary Fan, you are so humorous now."
Fan Ming said modestly: "After spending so much time with Butler Jing, I have to learn something."
Jing Yi's eyes suddenly became sharp. It turned out that he was admiring his talent!
Secretary Fan, you are a good secretary with great vision!
With the addition of the whistleblower account, the Internet became more lively. Netizens celebrated the New Year on the spot, which was many times more lively than the last time when the five-member house collapsed.
In just a few hours, the internet was flooded with comments about artists who had changed jobs.
[Vocal!]
[I have never seen so many celebrities fall out of love at the same time in my life. Is this the end of the world?]
[The five-person house collapse a few days ago was shocking enough, but I didn't expect there would be another house collapse 101 now?]
[Come on, let me see whose die-hard fans have broken down again]
[Make a live broadcast of the house collapse, I will pay to watch it! ]
[So the Shen Group went to great lengths to poach a bunch of criminals?]
[Shengshi is really lucky, this bomb almost exploded in his own home hahahaha]
[Mr. Shen, are you asleep? If you didn't, please share your thoughts?]
Jing Yi held the phone and rubbed against Li Wenzhao to share his joy: "Master, look, your criminals have been nailed to the pillar of shame."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He angrily corrected: "Butler Jing, they are not my criminals anymore."
Jing Yi just said, "It's Shen Shubai's criminal."
He remembered something and turned to look at Li Wenzhao: "Will this add a lot of work to Officer Shu from last time?"
Li Wenzhao said: "It could also be a meritorious service."
After all, the specious evidence on the Internet cannot prove anything, and the real evidence has to be revealed by the police, but Li Wenzhao had already reported it in advance.
Jing Yi was happily reading the crazy comments online when suddenly there was a noise outside the office and faintly heard Shen Shubai's crazy roar.
The employees had been watching the show all day and couldn't help but gather around to watch it.
Jing Yi stood on tiptoe and looked at him from a distance. Shen Shubai was so angry that he was mad and his mind seemed to be out of control. The two strong security guards could not control him.
"Li Wenzhao! Get out here!"
"What the hell, what's the point of giving me a banner?"
"You are such a psychopath!"
Jing Yi: "?!!"
He turned his head and looked around.
Li Wenzhao held down his spinning head and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Secretary Fan." Jing Yi asked, "When did he send the silk banner over?"
Li Wenzhao: "Just now."
Shen Shubai, who received the banner, was provoked like a wild dog. He ran around the Li family and cursed at Li Wenzhao.
Jing Yi asked, "Aren't we going over there?"
Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "What are you going to do there?"
Jing Yi pointed at the chaos over there: "The security guards can't seem to catch the crazy Shen Shubai."
Li Wenzhao was calmer than him: "If this is true, the company's security team can be replaced."
Not long after this was said, the security captain personally took action and used both courtesy and force to get Shen Shubai out of the company.
Jing Yi was worried: "I'm so worried that the righteous security guards will be accidentally injured by Shen Shubai."
Li Wenzhao reminded him: "Don't worry, Secretary Fan is here."
Jing Yi blinked: "You mean they will fight in groups?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
