Xia Ji and Concubine Hui were chatting happily, but there were people fighting in a group downstairs. At this time, Concubine Hui's entourage came upstairs and said to Concubine Hui: "Niangniang, let's go, it's not all here, the two gangs are fighting each other for territory, I told the boss here, let's leave through the back door." ”

Concubine Hui had no choice but to say goodbye to Xia Ji after hearing this.

After Concubine Hui left, Xia Ji also got up and went downstairs, but when she checked out with the boss, the boss said that someone had already settled the account, Xia Ji hurriedly asked who had settled the account, and the boss pointed to a young man who was eating alone in the corner of the lobby, looking at the age of fifteen or six years old, the boy saw the boss pointing at him, so he simply stood up, gave Xia Ji a salute, and said: "Mrs. Xia, Xiaosheng is polite, in Xia Kongning, I have admired Mrs. Xia for a long time." ”

Xia Ji saw that he was a child, and walked over and asked, "Gongzi Kong?" We don't know each other, do we? How old are you? ”

"It's not surprising that Mrs. Xia doesn't know Zaixia, when Mrs. Xia married into the Chen family, she was a guest with her father in the Xia Mansion. At the age of sixteen. ”

As soon as Natsuhime heard him say that he was only sixteen years old, she wanted to laugh, so she didn't get too annoyed and said, "You're too precocious, aren't you?" You want to talk to a woman with your father's money? Do you know what admiration is? We don't have to settle our accounts. ”

"Mrs. Xia's words are wrong, firstly, I am not precocious, I am already in the year of dancing elephants; Second, sooner or later, everything that is a father will come to my name, and therefore my father's money will be my money. Third, admiration is in nature, regardless of age. ”

"Since your father will be all to you sooner or later, why should you go so hard to chase a woman, wouldn't it be easier to wait for the inheritance? Leave. ”

Xia Ji's sarcastic sarcasm seemed to be a sudden blow to Kong Ning, which made him at a loss, and he was speechless for a while, but he didn't come back to his senses to fight back.

Xia Ji also ignored him anymore, turned around and walked to the counter and said to the boss, "Return the account he settled to him, and I will settle the bill." ”

"That's not good, right? People just have good intentions. ”

"Good intentions. A small child, playing around with the family's money. Natsuhime took out a small piece of gold and put it on the counter and asked, "Is this enough?" ”

"Enough, enough." The boss smiled when he saw the glittering gold, and his small eyes were squeezed into a slit.

Xia Ji then walked out of the back door with the maid without looking at Kong Ning again. Seeing Xia Ji go out, Guan Ping, who was sitting on the side, also walked out with the guards.

Natsuki led the maid out of the back door of Yokan Xian, and after traveling a few blocks, she found the carriage that was waiting for them.

After returning to the Xia Mansion, Xia Ji remembered what Concubine Hui said about other ministers planting eyeliner in the mansion, and deeply felt that the fog in the courtyard of the Xia Mansion was heavy, these eyeliners are usually inconspicuous, maybe they seem to be loyal and loyal, but once they are manipulated, they are immediately like an activated virus, and they will bring down the nominal owner with a single blow.

Xia Ji asked Kong Mao to be called.

"Kong Mao, did the house do a record of information for everyone before?"

"Back to Mrs. Xia, because of the high turnover of personnel, there is no requirement in this regard."

"What if something happens to contact their relatives?"

"Back to Mrs. Xia, the introduction of newcomers is recommended by acquaintances, and if something happens, you will find an introducer."

"What if the referee has left and can't be found?"

"It's... In general, there is no need to notify relatives of the incident. Kong Mao was forced to ask by Xia Ji and couldn't get off the stage.

"Okay, it's none of your business, I'll just ask this." After Xia Ji sent Kong Mao away, she was determined to change this arbitrariness in employing people. Now that it is the Chinese New Year, although Kong Mao's specific responsibility in the Kong Du corruption case has not yet been clarified, the responsibility for negligence is inevitable, and this alone is enough to dismiss him. The reason why he is still kept is because I want to find out what role he plays.

She brought Jiang Lu over and discussed how to grasp the basic situation of the personnel.

"Jiang Lu, when Kong Mao was a housekeeper before, the people in the Xia Mansion came in and out very casually, and there was no data file, this situation must be changed, so that it is easy to find out the bottom of everyone and prevent bad people from mixing into eyeliner and the like."

Mrs. Xia was right. Personnel entry is a very serious matter, and it is easy to have an accident if it is too casual. ”

"Now it's time to make amends, and every person in Xia Mansion has to re-register, and record their names, places of origin, age, gender, previous experience, referees, relatives, and close friends."

"But what if the information in their newspaper is fake?"

"If it is found to be false, all will be expelled. Such dishonest people cannot stay in the Summer Mansion. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it according to Mrs. Xia's instructions immediately."

"You call a meeting of a few people from the External Affairs, the Internal Affairs and the Kitchen Office. Oh, by the way, Kong Du's position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet been replaced, and you recommend that someone do it, and it must be done by someone who is clean and innocent, and who is serious and responsible. Natsuhime commanded.

"The person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I recommend Chen Ke to do it, this young man has been in Xia Mansion for five years, and he is very familiar with the internal affairs of Xia Mansion, he is stable and reliable, and he is also very serious in his work." Jiang Lu said.

"Okay, you can ask him to come to me later, and I'll talk to him first." Natsuhime said.

After Jiang Lu withdrew, he called Chen Ke over.

"Mrs. Xia, Jiang Lu said that you are looking for me, what are your orders?" Chen Ke was a little nervous when he met Mrs. Xia alone for the first time, worried that something had gone wrong.

"Chen Ke, you don't have to be nervous, I came to you to talk to you. I heard that you have been in Xia Mansion for a long time, and you have done something. ”

"Back to Mrs. Xia, I have been in Xia Mansion for almost five years, and I just started to do chores in the kitchen, chopping wood, lighting fires, washing vegetables, etc., and later I came to help Jiang Lu buy, and also did the maintenance and repair of the house, and miscellaneous things." Chen Ke said.

"It seems that you have done everything in the mansion, and you are also very familiar with the Xia mansion."

"Back to Mrs. Xia's words, this is indeed true, I have been doing it for so many years, and I remember every grass and tree in the Xia Mansion clearly."

"Then what do you think of Kong Du?" Natsuhime asked.

Mrs. Hui Xia asked, in fact, it was disrespectful to say that the deceased was not a big disrespect. But since Mrs. Xia asked, I didn't dare to tell a lie. Kong Du's advantage is that he is very likable, exquisite, and can talk to anyone. And this is also his shortcoming, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, he is conscientious on the surface, but he has done many inauthentic things behind his back; Praise you on the surface, and make a mix secretly. ”

"Oh, I get it when you say that. Jiang Lu recommended you to take over Kong Du's position, how do you plan to do a good job as the head of the housekeeping department? ”

Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, maybe a little sudden, and then said, "Thank you, Mrs. Xia, for your trust." I will readjust the positions, give the more important positions to the responsible people, and then weed out a few people who are sloppy. ”

"Well, as long as you do it, I'm sure you'll be outstanding. After a while, you will go to Jiang Lu and discuss with him the arrangements for doing things, and your salary will be increased after you take office, so do a good job. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Xia." Chen Ke said and withdrew.
