Chapter 82: Atonement or Sacrifice to Heaven (2 Chapters 2 in One)
The next day, Chen Nong came to work in the Siye Mansion with a more obvious black circle, and was confused by the task list placed on the desk and the position of editor-in-chief of the clerical room on the appointment.
Isn't he here to write an article, how can he be the top boss of the entire night clerkship department?
This promotion can no longer be described as skipping a grade, but a step to the sky.
He looked at the master with sincere fear, "Shouldn't you be the master of this position?"
The master said, "I am a part-time worker, and I will go to the house to teach later, how can I have this kung fu."
"But ......," Chen Nong wanted to say, he didn't have this experience at all.
The master patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "No one else can ask for this opportunity."
Chen Nong's heart was certain, and he looked at the literati lying on the desk below, and sure enough, he saw several pairs of envious and jealous eyes.
Chen Nong understood, gritted his teeth and recognized it, knowing that he had to bear this burden, and he had to bear it steadily. Otherwise, everything yesterday will be in vain, and everything he has gained will be lost.
Chen Nong, who had made a decision, was full of fighting spirit, but when he was really buried in his work, he knew how much trouble there was, and one morning made the man who was so excited last night that he didn't sleep well look even more depressed.
The only person he could complain about was Hu Fuzi, and among the various problems he mentioned in the early design, distribution, and writing of the Night Tour, the biggest problem was that it cost money.
Is Si Yefu rich?
This question was put a week ago, and whoever asked the people in the Si Ye Mansion would get an answer: poor! How poor!
Now when I ask this question again, the disciples of Si Yefu can't answer it well.
The materials must be far more than in the past, but real money...... Still can't take out much.
In any case, the upfront investment to set up a new department is certainly not enough.
If Chen Nong wants money, he has to apply to the account office of Si Ye Mansion, and the account office has to ask the person in charge of Si Ye Mansion.
Now everyone knows who the person in charge of Si Yefu is, but when it comes to real money, Mr. Ledger went to inquire about Mi August's meaning just in case, and also passed the news to Shen Li.
Mr. Bookkeeper thought that his actions were secret, but he didn't know that Shen Li's movements were under Mi August's control.
She didn't mind Mr. Bill's behavior of running on both sides, and the other party was doing what Mi August wanted him to do.
A whole box of real money was carried out of the old mansion, and after passing an account to the bookkeeper, it was sent to the clerical office.
Fu'an, who was in charge of delivering the money, said to Chen Nong: "Master Mi said, Mr. Chen just let it go, and the money is enough here."
When the box was opened, Chen Nong was also a person who had been wealthy, but after a short period of surprise, he stabilized his mind, took a deep breath and said to Fu'an, "Reply a word to Lord Mi for me, Chen Ziwei will live up to the trust of the adult."
Fu'an nodded and bowed politely to him before leaving.
Now who in Si Yefu doesn't know that Chen Nong has ascended to the sky in one step, and he has entered the eyes of Lord Mi, and he is another big celebrity after that little boy.
Taking Feixue Xiaozi as an example, this now inconspicuous Mr. Chen may be prosperous in the future, so he has to be treated carefully.
And Mi August spent money like dirt to give gold and silver directly to Chen Nong, and it soon spread within Si Yefu.
"Where did she get the money?" Liu Jinbao said, "When I bought a car and moved in, I said that I had no money to pay the bill."
Shen Li and Liu Zhaocai were both distracted, and no one responded to his words.
Liu Jinbao looked at the two of them, especially Liu Zhaocai, "Brother, you have something on your mind."
Hearing this, Shen Li also tilted his head in the direction of Liu Zhaocai.
Liu Zhaocai's expression struggled, and he said, "Director, in fact, since the night before, the whisper is no longer on me."
"What!" Liu Jinbao stepped forward and was about to ask in a hurry, but Liu Zhaocai stopped him with his eyes.
Liu Jinbao looked at him, calmed down, and saw Shen Li's expression as usual, so he understood that the two of them had something to hide from themselves. Thinking that his two closest relatives actually had secrets to hide from him, Liu Zhaocai's hands under his sleeves clenched, "What the hell is going on?"
Liu Zhaocai first confessed to Shen Li, "What the director said to Master Mi that day was actually overheard by me in a whisper." He turned his head to the face again
The forbearant Liu Jin Sermon said, "You think we deliberately deceived you, but you don't know that the director and Mi have an agreement to lift the trick to save your life, and the director was tortured by the out-of-control trick before, but you asked Mi to transfer this agreement to me."
Liu Jinbao was stunned and looked at Shen Li, whose eyes were covered with cloth.
Liu Zhaocai said: "Mi Daren is righteous, not only for the director of the crisis, but also at the request of the director."
Liu Jinbao whispered, "Maybe she's greedy for tricks."
Liu Zhaocai said: "Whether she is greedy or not, it can't change the fact that she saved the director and fulfilled the director's request."
Liu Jinbao was silent for a long time, "That's what the director asked us that day." After another pause, he said, "What then do we do after that?"
Liu Zhaocai looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li said, "Go and please...... No, it's up to me, an idler, to take it myself."
……
Mi August, who got the news, put down what he was doing and instructed the house spirit, "Let someone call Shen Lang over."
Before the people came, she took out the [Trick Weapon: Hundred Eyes], which had been locked up since she was included in the Book of Good and Evil.
"Continue to be imprisoned, work for me to atone for my sins, and sacrifice to heaven." Mi August said, "Pick one."
The flocculent sphere flutters.
Mi August: "Open your eyes, choose one blink, choose two blinks."
Before she could say three, an eye cracked open in the fluff ball, and she blinked twice.
Mi August's tone became gentle, "You are not my believer, and you may not listen to all my words. But as a sinful creature, I will not give you a second chance during the atonement period."
The lint trembled.
The house spirit's reminder sounded, "Shen Lang and Shen Li, they have arrived at the gate."
Mi August nodded and picked up the fluff ball, "Start working today to serve new customers."
……
Shen Lang and Shen Li came back and forth, but they didn't touch it.
The reason was that Shen Lang fell into the pit when he entered the door, and before he had time to call for help, he stood in an inner room.
There was a black ball of wool on the table in the room, and the voice of the housekeeper of the old mansion, which I had heard many times recently, rang out in the room, "Wait here quietly."
Shen Lang didn't dare to disobey and stood in place obediently.
Soon he saw the ball suddenly crack in the center and then close again, as if breathing and as if it was deliberately trying to draw his attention.
Shen Lang was curious, but he still didn't move.
Hundred Eyes: ......
Furious and furious.
At this time, Shen Lang heard the voice of the director outside.
"Mi-sama."
"Director."
「…… I'm here to bid farewell to Mi-sama."
Shen Lang's face changed greatly, and he walked quickly to the door.
He reached out and pushed the door, but it didn't move.
Shen Lang remembered that this house was extraordinary, and no matter how much he did, it was useless.
And the voice outside is still clear, and he is mentioned in the topic.
Outside.
Mi August didn't talk to Shen Li, "The current body of the director is indeed not suitable for the use of tricks, and I have chosen a new successor for Hundred Eyes, Shen Lang."
Shen Li was stunned, "What does this successor mean......
Mi August said: "The Hundred Eyes is the effect of the director is very clear, and it is also convenient for Shen Lang to manage the night mansion of the division in the future."
This time Shen Li really didn't understand, he said bluntly, "Isn't Lord Mi going to take charge of Si Yefu by himself?"
Mi August: "I'm not good at management."
Shen Li felt his face hurt, "I think Lord Mi has managed Si Yefu very well recently."
Mi August shook her head, "I won't be looking forward to being here for long."
Shen Li, who had always thought that Mi August intended to Si Ye Mansion, observed these days, and felt that the Si Ye Mansion with Mi August was not only not worse but thriving, so he made up his mind that he could leave with peace of mind and completely vacate the position for Mi August, so as not to cause Mi August's dissatisfaction and suspicion.
As a result, Mi August sued
sue him, she doesn't plan to stay.
When Shen Li was not thinking about it, Mi August chatted with him about the development intentions behind Si Yefu.
"It is not enough to rely on the night tour newspaper to popularize the strange knowledge to the people, I found that most of the people are illiterate, the government school is only open to the children of the powerful, the private school is uneven, and there are few children who go to school. Including the disciples taken in by Si Yefu, they are also poor in martial arts, and most of them can't read all the words."
Shen Lang, who was a member of the inner room who could not recognize the big characters, blushed.
Shen Li was attracted by the topic, "What does Mi-sama mean?"
Mi said, "I plan to start a night tour class to teach children for free."
"Free?" Shen Li raised his head, hating himself for being blind, otherwise he really wanted to see what Mi August's expression was now, "Mi is very good, but the cost of this free school is not trivial."
Mi August said, "I'm out."
Shen Li was dumbfounded.
Mi went on to say, "Money is easy to solve, but convincing managers are hard to find. Shen Lang has potential and prestige, but he is still younger."
Today, it is enough time for Shen Li to watch and think calmly, and Mi August said directly: "I would like to ask the director to be the manager of this night tour class and train Shen Lang to be a qualified successor."
After a while, Shen Li said, "I know that Mi-sama doesn't need to coax me, but," he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, his tone revealing the self-shame that has accumulated in his heart these days, "I feel that I may not be able to take on this great responsibility, I have been in charge of the Si Ye Mansion for many years, and I have only recently discovered my failure, and I am unable to avenge my subordinates, so that they have been wronged. It is not trusted by the people, and it does not reassure the people. They thought they were peaceful, but they didn't even feed and clothe their children, and they only wanted to have a good meal."
"Director!"
"Secretary ......"
The Liu twins shouted in unison, trying to persuade but were stopped by Shen Li raising his hand.
Shen Li stood up on the table and bent down to Mi August.
"On that day, I was disrespectful to Mi-sama, and I misunderstood that my lord's purpose was not pure, so I solemnly apologize to my lord. You have great virtue, and Si Yefu has an adult, is it a blessing or a curse."
He bowed three times in a row, and then left with the support of the Liu twins.
Shen Lang, who was in a complicated mood inside, found that the door blocking him in front of him opened.
Before he could move, the floor under his feet forcibly moved and sent him to Mi August.
Shen Lang screamed in his throat.
Mi August said, "I heard it clearly."
Shen Lang nodded, he had a bunch of questions and thoughts to tell.
Mi August didn't give him this chance.
With a move of her hand, the ball of fluff in the inner room appeared in her hand.
"Director Shen's body can't bear the trick anymore." This is a lie, with her threatening on the side, Hundred Eyes will not dare to make trouble even if he re-enters Shen Li's body, and Shen Li will naturally be able to continue to use tricks.
However, Mi August doesn't need an indecisive director, just a kind and responsible people's teacher and superficial tool.
"You are the most suitable successor at the moment, and you can only be considered a true night wanderer with a trickery weapon, gaining the ability to deter others."
Shen Lang said, "Senior Sister Ban and Senior Brother Liu are both more senior than me."
"Qualifications do not mean suitability." Mi August threw the Hundred Eyes to him, "The trick will also choose the master."
Where did Shen Lang dare to let such a precious trick weapon fall to the ground, what if it was broken. Instinctively went to pick it up, but there was something strange in his hand, and the scene he saw made his face change greatly.
The ball of fluff melted into his hand and disappeared!
The next moment, his eyes were uncomfortable, and tears flowed down his face.
How did he know that the fusion of tricks and ordinary people would never be merciful, and the more painful a person was, the easier it was for him to swallow ** God. Now this pain is the result of the hundred eyes being restrained by Mi August, and they are cautious.
"If you don't want Director Shen to leave, go and persuade him to stay now, whether it's playing the emotional card, the responsibility card, and the bitter meat trick can also be used. You are all children who he watched grow up with his own eyes, and this is also your common home, and there is no until the child has the ability to be independent
What parent can really leave with confidence, he fell into the frustration of not being a good leader, and this is the time for you to respond to him."
Shen Lang understood Mi August's meaning, ignored the stinging pain in his eyes, and left.
After he left, Mi August instructed the house spirit, "No one will come to see me in the next few days, let them solve anything by themselves, and use money to ......
She felt that the air in the room seemed to be thinner, as if an invisible being had taken a breath and sucked it away.
"Don't worry, they don't dare ask for more." Mi August Road.
The housekeeper who was found to be careful said in a calm butler voice, "Yes, I am relieved."
Mi August didn't poke it and went back to the lab to do the research she put down half.
As for the development of Si Yefu after that, there are naturally people who should be annoyed, she has already laid out the recent development blueprint, and the start-up fund can also be in place, and she can also do her own thing behind the scenes.
On that day, Shen Liyuan wanted to leave quietly and quietly, without stirring up a trace of dust.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lang led all the preparatory disciples to block his way, and begged him to stay in unison, all of which were in recognition of his dedication to Si Yefu.
Shen Li listened to these comforting words, and heard Shen Lang's voice even more, saying that he was scared in his heart, but he had not learned the common sense of using tricks but had been integrated into Hundred Eyes - as the former user of Hundred Eyes, how could Shen Li, who had been tortured by Hundred Eyes, not know the key points.
He couldn't see it, so he didn't know that Shen Lang pretended to cry through the tears of discomfort caused by the new fusion weapon, but in fact it was not miserable, not even a tenth of the pain he imagined.
Under this comfort, worry, and anxiety, Shen Li was left behind.
Shen Li stayed, and the Liu twins naturally stayed to take care of them.
The next day, Shen Li, whose emotions cooled down, did not regret staying, but was worried that his lack of faith would cause Mi August to be dissatisfied, so that the other party would misunderstand that he was trying to capture and indulge yesterday, and he was fighting for power.
