Chapter 20 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Yan Kaiting sat in place and didn't even adjust his posture, but only raised his hand to Fang Nanen, who was making a big salute, and said, "It is also human nature to want to live for a long time. The faΓ§ade of this branch belongs to the 'heavenly work', the fixed utensils can not be moved, the remaining inventory of both finished products and raw materials can be taken away, and another ten years of annual income for the elderly. I just have to ask the master craftsman to vacate the place today. β
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Even if an ordinary guy resigns, the owner has to ask one or two, important functions, and he has to keep it again and again, so that the master and servant can get along. As long as it is not a life-and-death feud, you have to save face as a person.
Yan opened the court, didn't ask a word, agreed to it, and let people leave on the same day, which inevitably seemed unkind. But he was extremely generous, and the price was not bad for the chief steward of the four major families.
Fang Nanen's eyes flashed, and Fang Luhang behind him couldn't hold it back, and said quickly: "Master Yan, are you so kind of to the old people of the Craftsman's Mansion?
Yan Kaiting only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said lazily: "I usually don't care about things, I just remember that the usual practice, the pension of the chief steward of the craftsman's mansion is eight years, if you feel that you are disadvantaged, then add another six years of annual income from my private treasury." You may not know when you just returned to Yujing that all branches of the Craftsman's Mansion are important nodes for the 'Demon Moment' to guard, and since the Craftsman has withdrawn from the 'Heavenly Craftsman', I naturally have to arrange someone to take over immediately. β
The four major families have a high status, gold and jade, and they also bear heavy responsibilities in the defense of Yujing City. Yan Kaiting's posture was aggressive, but under the general righteousness of the town's safety guard, there seemed to be nothing to blame.
Fang Luhang's hands were clenched into fists, his face turned red, and he shouted, "I'm not talking about money!"
At the moment, he only felt extremely heartwarming, and he couldn't vent it in one breath, it was obvious that he was so willful and caused trouble, causing him to be centrifuged, and now he had to put aside the stewards of the main mansion to make random decisions. Ke Yan opened the court with a fluttering sentence and added six years of salary, and forcibly distorted his righteous accusations into an eye for money.
Yan Kaiting said slowly: "But I think I have nothing to say to you except money." β
Fang Luhang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of Yan Kaiting's words.
Song Zi next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and patted the handrail and said: "It's okay, the contract between Brother Fang and 'Tiangong Kaiwu' back then was a testimony made by my brother, and the termination of the contract today is not fake, let me do it together!"
At this time, in the carriage parked on the street outside, Fu Mingxuan slightly removed the teacup from his mouth and laughed.
In the small water mirror in front of him, what was projected was the scene in the branch of "Heavenly Creation".
The middle-aged steward next to him had a slightly heavy face, and said, "Yan Jialangjun has this temperament...... It's still a little frizzy, Fang Nanen has a unique skill of 'incalculating wire', and letting people go like this is always a loss to the craftsman's house. When Yan Ye returns to the main mansion, I'm afraid that criticism is indispensable. β
Fu Mingxuan said: "Do you think that even if he changes his temper, Corporal Lixian, with good words to appease, what conditions will be used to keep Fang Nanen?"
The middle-aged steward was stunned when he heard this, he was Fu Bowen's right-hand man, and he was also a delicate character, he didn't think much about anything else before, but at this moment, he listened to the profound meaning of Fu Mingxuan's words, and immediately thought about it, "You mean ......"
"Today's play, in fact, has been absurd, the whole drama troupe was thrown in the city in court, how can you sing the taste of the original script. Fu Mingxuan smiled and said, "Let's look at it, when Yan Shao comes up, you can ask him why he is so decisive." β
The middle-aged steward thought about it, instinctively lowered his voice, and said cautiously: "After you return to the position, you need to rebuild the team, do you plan to add Yanjia Langjun as well?"
Fu Mingxuan glanced at the middle-aged steward, his expression was free, and his eyes did not change, but the middle-aged steward immediately lowered his head and was silent like a pinprick.
Fu Mingxuan said: "Did my father tell you? I know you are thinking about me, but Yan Kaiting is not my subordinate, and this demarcation must be clarified." β
"Yes. The middle-aged steward didn't dare to raise his head to answer.
As soon as the words fell, there was movement outside the carriage, the coachman came over and opened the door, and Yan Kaiting jumped up with Meng Erya.
Yan Kaiting saw the water mirror in the air at a glance, and it was not surprising, he casually took a small teapot, drank two large sips from mouth to spout, and then spit out two tea leaves with "Bah, Bah, Bah".
Fu Mingxuan took the kettle from the small clay stove next to him and handed it over, and said, "Cow chews peony, tea is for tasting, you want to drink water, here is." β
The iron kettle, which was still slightly red at the bottom of the stove, was already half wrapped in ice in front of Yan Kaiting, and the boiling water in the kettle suddenly boiled down, and if it spit out some hot gas, it seemed that it could be directly entered.
Yan Kaiting said in a snorting voice: "Your water genus has actually mutated into an ice species, how can other cultivators live!"
Fu Mingxuan smiled and said: "Among the Daomen, there are many people like me who are just ordinary in qualifications and have high talents. β
Yan Kaiting's eyes suddenly flashed with curiosity.
Fu Mingxuan knocked on the corner of the carriage wall, then turned to Yan Kaiting and said, "I made a soundproof invisible barrier, stay here for a while?"
Yan Kaiting also knew that there were many things to be done at the moment, not the time to talk about gossip and anecdotes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, calculate the time, the people from the main mansion should almost arrive, and let's see who they are!"
Meng Erya's heart suddenly chuckled.
At this moment, no matter how stupid Meng Erya was, she could see that the so-called emergency in the branch was probably a trouble for Yan Kaiting caused by some of the chief stewards in the mansion and outsiders, although he didn't know what the specific purpose was, but this master did not act according to common sense everywhere, and he was about to return in vain.
It's just that for Meng Erya, who didn't belong to any faction, he knew too much today, so much that he had to worry about his future.
Thinking of this, Meng Erya glanced at Yan Kaiting and Fu Mingxuan, the two of them were talking privately as usual, without any shrewdness, as if there was no outsider like him in the carriage. This makes people even more worried!
No matter how worried Meng Erya was in his heart, Fu Mingxuan turned the topic to the issue he had discussed with the middle-aged steward before, and asked Yan Kaiting: "You terminated the contract with Fang Nanen so simply, are you sure that he is also involved in this matter?"
Yan Kaiting gathered his clothes, found a comfortable position to lean on, and said lazily: "Oh, no." It's just that this branch was chosen as a place to live, and there are only two possibilities, one is a disaster, and the other is a raccoon dog. If it is the former, as an old man of the craftsman's mansion and a well-known craftsman, it is also appropriate to give more silver money to let them avoid the fire. If it's the latter, the 'magic moment' is coming, and you can't put an important defense node in their hands, it's the fastest to get the money out of them, and settle the account after the autumn. In any case, there is always a right thing to do at the bottom of the kettle, and they can't be allowed to use this place to continue to do things. β
Hearing this, the middle-aged steward's eyes lit up, and he looked at Fu Mingxuan, showing admiration. At this time, he felt that his own Langjun really had a way of seeing people, and he couldn't imagine that Yan Kaiting, who had never been in charge, had such insight and means.
However, Yan Kaiting's next sentence made his face stiffen, and his expression was wonderful for a while. As for Meng Erya, who had been lowering her head and pretending that she didn't exist, she was already blank.
"Even if there are more than two possibilities and there is a third, that's okay. Anyway, I don't know how to learn, the world knows how normal it is to do something wrong, and you can regret it when the time comes! Well, I just have to ask Uncle Xia to come out to suppress the formation, and I am a little unhappy. β
Fu Mingxuan tapped his palm and said, "Well, with a thick face and black hands, you have made a lot of progress over the years." β
Yan Kaiting blinked and said, "How do you compare with you?"
Fu Mingxuan smiled, "Not how." I'm thicker than you, but no one can see it. β
Yan Kaiting was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, in the eyes of the world, how can the word scoundrel not be used on Fu Mingxuan, there is a Fei gentleman, who is as gentle as jade. At this point, Yan Kaiting can only bow to the upper hand.
Fu Mingxuan suddenly stretched out his finger to the water mirror in front of him, showing the figure of several riders on the road not far from the town.
Yan Kaiting squinted, took in the faces of several people, nodded and said, "It's okay, I think it's them." β
Fu Mingxuan said: "Where to go next?"
"Go to the car shop in the town of 'Wenjiadian', I just asked Song Zi, at the entrance of West Street. Yan Kaiting smiled and showed a row of snow-white teeth, his eyes were full of evil anger, "It's just not rude!"
