Ten minutes later.

In the open space in front of the main building of the Blue Lagoon Manor.

Galie glanced at the servants standing in two rows, counted them silently in his heart, and found that one person was missing, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who didn't come?"

"Blair didn't come. Someone whispered in response.

"Blair......" Galie repeated his name, his brow furrowed.

For Blair, he is naturally familiar, after all, the people of the manor say a lot less, and there is not much to say more, he can name it. In fact, he knows more about Blair than about the rest of him.

Because in the manor, Blair can be called a thorn, usually he doesn't work very hard, and he has been cheating and cheating, using various reasons as excuses.

And he also looks down on him, the housekeeper, probably because of the descendants of the down-and-out nobles, the other party is literate and has a higher level than him. I always feel that he is not qualified to manage the other party, and the reason why he can become the butler of Richard's master is entirely because of luck, and the real butler is almost the same as letting the other party be the other.

Because of this situation, he repeatedly wanted to make a proposal to Richard to get Blair fired. But Richard was busy every day, and it was difficult for him to find the right opportunity, and he felt more or less in his heart that although Blair was bad, he had not reached the point of being unbearable, and he had dragged it on until now.

Today, though, is different.

From now on, it's all different.

He, Gale, is to make every effort to be a good steward.

In order to better maintain the estate, he has to save every penny. A second-rate gardener like Blair doesn't have too many technical requirements, and it can be cut off and let the rest of the people take on the job, which can save a lot of salary. If you can't, you can hire a better gardener again.

Thinking of this, Galie opened his mouth and commanded a manservant at the front of the line, "Pete, you go find Blair." Tell him that since he didn't come, then never come - he was fired, and told him to pack his things and leave the manor before dark today. ”

"Ahh

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a figure turned out of the corner not far away, and walked over with a somewhat lazy step, it was Blair.

It seemed that the other party was about twenty years old, his hair was a little dirty, but his face was very handsome, and his sky-blue eyes had the unique temperament of an aristocracy, which seemed more noble than Galie.

The other party obviously heard what Galie said just now, but he was not flustered, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked closer to the team, looked at Galie and said, "Butler, you seem to have just said that you want to fire me? Why?

You can't blame me for this, and I don't want to, but I can't help it when I suddenly pull up my stomach. You can't let me hold back to come here, so what if I can't help it? I don't have anything to be ashamed of, I'm afraid of smoking you, butler, I'm thinking about you, butler. ”

Hearing Blair's words, the servant of the manor couldn't help but chuckle, and Gare's expression was difficult to look at—it was obvious that Blair was teasing him as a butler in his usual way.

Of course, he can refute the other person, such as questioning why the other person has diarrhea. Everyone in the entire manor ate the same meal, and it is impossible for only one person to have an upset stomach.

But as a rule of thumb, if he did, the argument would eventually be twisted to a completely unrelated topic, and the so-called punishment would not go unpunished, and in that respect Blair was indeed smarter than he was.

Today, however, we are not prepared to make the same mistake again.

Amid the low laughter of the servants of the manor, Galie closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them, staring sharply at Blair.

"Blair, I fired you, of course, not because you were late. Everyone in our manor will make some mistakes, and if I had to be fired just because of a small mistake, then I would have been fired many times.

Actually, you were fired because of other things, such as you didn't work hard, you didn't follow management, you got into trouble, you molested the maid, and you got into fights with the rest of the manservants.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that you make me very upset. I am the steward, and Master Richard has given me the power to manage the entire estate, and in his absence, I have the right to dismiss anyone. Well, I'll fire you right now.

Yes, it's because you make me unhappy, and I have the power to fire you, that you're fired. No need to say anything more, I won't change my mind, just pack your bags and go, your salary will be counted to you. ”

"Galie, you!" Blair suddenly panicked, glaring at Gare, really didn't expect Galie to change his previous weakness, which greatly surprised him.

"No, Gale, you can't fire me!" cried Blair, "you can't fire me by your own likes and dislikes, you're a communiqué vendetta, and I'll explain it to Master Richard." ”

"Of course, you can explain it to Master Richard, but that will have to wait until Master Richard returns. Okay, you go, I hope you don't disturb me and tell the rest of me to do the rest of the work. Galie said seriously.

Blair was speechless, pursed his lips, but remained in place, as if he was ready to see what Gareel could do with him if he didn't cooperate.

Galie seemed to have expected this, but did not get angry, glanced at Blair calmly, and asked loudly: "What, do you need me to invite the sheriff in the city to come?" Master Richard is a wizard, and the whole people of Jialan City know it, I think the sheriff is very willing to deal with a little trouble for Master Richard before he comes back. ”

Blair's body shook, revealing a look of fear, and finally gave Galie a "count you ruthless" look, turned his head and walked into the distance.

Galie watched Blair leave, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the servants. I don't know when, the servant's chuckle had disappeared, his expression had become extremely serious, and he looked at him with a little respect and fear, obviously aware of the difference he had made today.

Galie didn't say anything, slowly exhaled, and began to say the words that he had prepared before: "Considering that Master Richard has not returned for many days, I have decided to make several adjustments for the better operation of the manor.

First of all, it is to reduce the number of personnel. Our estate, in my opinion, is really a bit overstaffed, because we don't need to do more heavy work such as banquets, parties, tea parties, etc. Therefore, in the next period of time, I will strictly review your respective performances, and if you are not qualified, you will be fired, saving a waste of salary.

In addition, there are some job adjustments, in the kitchen, the kitchen maid is reduced by one, and the part-time part-time Blair gardener is temporarily part-time, and the other ......"

Galie kept talking, and the servants kept listening, remembering carefully—at least it looked like it.

In the words, the sun keeps setting towards the west.

Dusk is passing......
