Chapter 225
The steward also noticed his firm thoughts from the merchant's eyes, and in fact, the steward was not willing to refuse the merchant's request too strongly. After all, he still values his subordinate very much, and it is not easy to cultivate such a henchman. After so many years, it was only after meeting the merchant that he had this thought, and now is the time for him to win people's hearts, and he is not willing to push his hard-earned henchmen far away because of this matter.
Now it was the turn of the steward who didn't know what to say, he was going to scold the others and refuse directly, and the matter had already been settled. But he can't use this method for the merchant, after all, if he refuses so strongly, then what he said before will not be in vain. In the future, if this person can still give up, he will be uncontrollable with himself. Thinking of this, the person in charge also felt a headache.
How could it be so coincidental? Is it really the time for the seventieth birthday of these four elders? In fact, these days, the stewards have complained about this matter, and there are many people below who are complaining about this matter. Now it can be said that everyone in the Zhao family is making a strong contribution, and those who have money are working hard for this birthday banquet.
If it was at another time, or because of other things, the merchant asked for leave, and he was in charge at will, and he would approve it with a blind eye. But at this time, I can't wait for everyone to be treated as two or three people, and many people are staring at the birthday banquet at this time.
If he let anyone know that his steward actually approved his subordinates to leave the Zhao family at such a critical juncture, then if he was stabbed in front of the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, he would not be able to eat and walk around. Perhaps, his position as a petty steward will also be lost, and at that time, what is the need to cultivate henchmen.
So in the end, the person in charge could only grit his teeth and say in a tactful tone as much as possible: "Oh, it's not that I don't approve of your leave, but I don't have this right now." You also know what kind of form our yard is now, and now those housekeepers in the outer courtyard have run out and keep an eye on everyone. At this time, I approve you to leave the Zhao family on leave, and it is estimated that when you come back, even I, who is in charge, can leave the Zhao family together. ”
Hearing what the steward said, the merchant knew that it was estimated that this time the matter was going to be difficult. The steward has already said it, and if he approves his leave, it is estimated that he will not be able to keep the position of the last steward, in that case, who would want to give himself a good steward for a stranger.
Thinking of this, the merchant was anxious in his heart, to be honest, he had the most dealings with this steward in the Zhao family, and he was usually petty flattering, so that at a critical time, this steward could help him. But right now, it's really a critical juncture, but it's useless to be in charge.
This merchant still wants to say a little pitiful, although he didn't have such a good reason to leave the Zhao family as he did last time, but didn't he also get vaccinated in advance when he left this time.
So the merchant squeezed out a flattering smile and said cautiously: "There is also a person in charge, you really can't blame me for this incident." As I told you last time I came back, I guess two fellow villagers will come to me these days. You know, they've also been with me for years, and if you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next time we'll meet. I promise, I promise that in just a moment, I'll be back soon. ”
When the merchant mentioned this, the person in charge also remembered. The last time the merchant returned to Zhao's house from home, he did mention this matter. But at that time, I really didn't think there was anything important about this matter.
After all, he was only allowed to leave the Zhao family for a while, and he didn't have to stay overnight, and at that time, the people in charge felt that this matter was not a big deal. But at this moment, it is absolutely wrong, such a small matter may be caught by others and sued to the steward of the outer court, which is dereliction of duty.
Speaking of this, the steward sighed deeply, and slowly shook his head, and he planned to refuse the merchant again. However, this time his wording is much tougher than the last time, and he wants to let this merchant know that this matter in front of him is not a joke, it is related to his future.
If this kid still doesn't recognize the reality and still holds on to this matter, the steward feels that his henchman has to be re-selected. After all, subordinates who can't recognize reality will bring them a lot of trouble.
But before the steward could speak, another servant came running over in a hurry, and when he was far away, the man began to shout: "Steward, steward, someone is looking for you at the gate." ”
This is a mistake, the steward's already organized belly of words, held in his throat, he didn't know what to say, he could only glare at the person fiercely.
And the other party didn't care at all, what was the expression of the person in charge, after he ran to the neighborhood, he shouted loudly, "Someone in charge, someone is looking for you at the gate, I can inform you." With that, the man didn't wait for any response from the steward, turned and ran away again.
From this person, it can be seen how busy the Zhao family is now. These servants can't wait to keep their feet down, that is, the merchant is relatively capable, so he is also very good at planning his own work plan, which is completed at this time, and he was originally given a day's work arrangement.
But ordinary servants have long been accustomed to it, and the lazy atmosphere of the Zhao family can't be fast at all. And they often only do things at one end, and they don't know how to coordinate the overall situation, so they always waste more time doing things than they really work. When something happens, it is inevitable that this situation will arise, everyone is busy, but things are still there, and they are not done at all.
Obviously, this messenger belongs to this type. Otherwise, how could he still have a bunch of things to do now, but took another job of reporting the news, which made him simply add fuel to the fire. So much so that the steward, who is usually afraid, today is not big or small, he began to call from afar, and he didn't wait for the steward to respond, but after making sure that the steward heard his words, he immediately ran away.
