After the affairs of Dashishan were busy, Gu Ming went to Jiang Cheng.

Back at the Gu Mansion, Old Man Li seemed to have gained weight again.

Hehe, the heart is wide and the body is fat, grandpa rarely enjoys a few days of Qingfu, and it is just right to be fat!

Knowing that Gu Ming was back, Fan Boyu brought a middle-aged man in his forties to visit.

This middle-aged man is the candidate recommended by Fan Boyu for the manager.

In front of Gu Ming and Li Laohan, Shopkeeper Fan briefly introduced the man standing straight in front of him

Deng Wenzhuo, a native of Yucheng, Zhongzhou, was forty-five years old, and entered Shangguan Fei's door at the age of three, which can be regarded as cultivated by Shangguan Fei!

He has participated in the management of stores in many places in Zhongzhou, and he can rest assured that the Li family will be handed over to him!

Gu Ming looked at the man in front of him with satisfaction.

With horizontal eyebrows and short beards, thin cheeks, and a serious face, it seems that he is a capable character who doesn't talk much.

Not bad, not bad!

Especially when Fan Boyu introduced that this Deng Wenzhuo was Liu Yeer's "carefully selected" housekeeper for Gu Ming, Gu Ming was even happier.

If Liu Meier recommended it, he really had to investigate it.

Since it was Senior Sister Ye'er's "hand-picked" person, Gu Ming would be one hundred and twenty relieved!

With our relationship, no one can pit me!

Hey, hey, hey!

He happily thanked the Liu sisters for their kindness, and asked Manager Deng to take over everything in the Gu Mansion today.

Gu Ming entrusted the expansion of the Li Mansion to Steward Deng, and the only requirement was that all the work must be completed within two months.

With such a large amount of work and only a three-month construction period, it is obviously not a simple matter.

This is not because Gu Ming deliberately embarrassed the new manager, but because it is about to be Li Laohan's birthday, Gu Ming wants to organize a birthday banquet for his grandfather in the Li Mansion in Dashishan.

Li Laohan is now seventy years old.

According to Jiang Cheng's custom, men do longevity "over nine but ten".

This year coincides with Li Laohan's 80th birthday, and Gu Ming decided that he must be handled in a beautiful manner this time!

Therefore, this arduous task fell on the shoulders of General Manager Deng.

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, Gu Ming also gave Deng Wenzhuo the corresponding power.

The first is fiscal power. For the sake of construction progress, you can give as much money as you want! You can use the money you want!

Now in the entire Jiang City, there are people who are richer than Gu Ming, I'm afraid I can't find a few. 、

Not to mention the wealth he received from the Qiu family, even the income from this trip to the incense burner peak can also make Gu Ming become the richest man in the local area.

Now, in Gu Ming's eyes, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!

The second is the power of personnel. In order to accomplish the task, all the manpower of the Gu Mansion is at your disposal! There is not enough manpower? You can recruit if you want, hire if you want, and I will not interfere in any way!

Of course, it remains to be seen whether these temporary recruits will continue to be retained in the future.

Regarding the requirements and conditions put forward by the new owner, Deng Wenzhuo immediately realized that this was a test of his work ability.

With two powers in hand, you can't do it, so you have to say I'm sorry!

After pondering for a quarter of an hour, Deng Wenzhuo bowed to Gu Ming and said, "Please rest assured, the master of the family will definitely do it in the future!"

Hehe, that's what I'm waiting for!

......

The wild geese fly south and late autumn, and the chrysanthemum yellow flowers are a little sad!

Halfway up the mountain, Shangguan Fei was taking care of the flower garden in his yard.

She is a Jindan period grandmaster, and it stands to reason that there are miscellaneous disciples who manage the courtyard for her.

But since the injury, planting flowers and plants has become her only hobby after healing.

So, now, every variety, every tree, and every flower in this garden is all cultivated by her own hands.

It is said that "ten years of trees, a hundred years of people", cultivating individuals is much more difficult than planting trees and flowers!

But fortunately, at the end, he was able to meet a pair of comforting disciples, and Shangguan Fei couldn't help but smile.

"Master, what are you thinking, why are you still smiling at this dead tree?"

Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, looked back, and it was his apprentice Liu Mei'er who asked questions.

After Liu Mei'er reminded her, she found that she was standing in front of the apricot tree that Shangguan broke last year.

The tree was cut down by his nephew, and it has not grown well all year long, and it looks like it is withering after autumn.

Shangguan Fei felt a little touched in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't want his disciples to see it, so he squinted and smiled: "What am I laughing at? I want to laugh while I can still laugh, can't I laugh more?"

The master's words frightened Liu Mei'er, she immediately held Shangguan Fei's arm, and asked with concern: "Master, have you recurred from your old injury?" I'll help you go back and rest first!"

Shangguan Fei scratched Liu Mei'er's nose, pretending to be in pain and said: "The old injury of the teacher has not recurred! But the family business I have worked hard to accumulate is almost exhausted by you, do you say that I am distressed!"

Liu Mei'er suddenly heard the meaning of her master's words, blushing and trying to divert the topic.

"Master, you, a Jindan Grandmaster, still joke with your disciples about this kind of thing!

Shangguan Fei held the disciple's hands with his hands, stared at Liu Mei'er and continued to laugh: "Where are you kidding for the teacher? Do you dare to say that you didn't give the talents you worked hard to cultivate for the teacher to others as a favor?!"

Looking at this posture, the master is not ready to let himself go easily on this topic, Liu Mei'er's eyes rolled, and she said coquettishly: "Master, it's just a shopkeeper, a few stewards and dozens of servants, don't be so stingy!"

Shangguan Fei pretended to be lost and sighed.

"As a teacher, there is really no one who cares about Ming's atmosphere! I heard that he has given you all the family property he received from the Qiu family!"

"We bought his property!"

The loss on Shangguan Fei's face disappeared suddenly, and he changed to a mysterious smile and said, "I don't know how much money you have? So many properties, what are you going to buy? Why don't you put the two of you together and convert it into money and pay it to others?"

Shangguan Fei's words made Liu Mei'er blush suddenly.

"Those properties, we really bought them with Gu Ming! We signed a contract with him, and he came up with an unheard-of transaction model, let us pay in installments!"

"Okay, okay! You can buy it, or someone else will give it away! Anyway, I can see it! Gu Ming has put a lot of effort into pleasing you!"

Hearing the master's direct words, Liu Mei'er, who was usually sharp-tongued, didn't know how to answer at this time, and she could only forcibly get rid of the shyness in her heart by selling her clothes.

"Master, you know our situation, how can you make fun of us like this!"

Shangguan Fei is also an understanding person, and the joke between master and apprentice ends here.

She pulled her disciple over, stretched out her hand to dust off the remaining flowers in her hair, and said with pity: "Where is the teacher making fun of you!

The word "happiness" suddenly melted in Liu Meier's heart, and she tilted her head and leaned on her master's arms and sobbed softly.

"Master......"

Shangguan Fei stroked his disciple's hair, and persuaded in a serious manner: "Fate is destined, and it is not up to anyone at all! Mei'er, you are a smart girl, and you don't want to talk too much about some things as a teacher! Here I just want to remind you that this Gu Ming is not as simple as it seems, and he is entangled too much, so be careful to cocoon yourself!"

Hearing the master say such words, Liu Mei'er raised her head from Shangguan Fei's arms and asked in great confusion: "What did the master say about this? Could it be that Gu Ming is so special?"

"Is there anything special about Gu Ming, I think you know better than me! What I want to say here is not about his personal ability, but with his identity and background, he can stir up the backwater of the entire Zhongzhou, don't you think it's strange?"

Seeing Liu Mei'er's eyes that she didn't quite understand, Shangguan Fei continued: "Mei'er, your cultivation is too low, the level of contact is not enough, and it's a good thing that you don't know about some secrets!

"Do you know why your teacher was injured, and why did your two brothers and sisters die in Huangquan?"

Liu Mei'er seemed to understand something all of a sudden, straightened up from her master's arms, and was about to say something with a frightened expression, but was interrupted by Shangguan Fei waving her hand!

The master's meaning is obvious, it's good to know, don't say it, and don't ask again.

The two of them walked towards the room together, and Shangguan Fei said as he walked.

"I'm afraid you think that Gu Ming was a sensation in this Danshi assessment and was only noticed by everyone? In fact, you don't know that in this Zhongzhou realm, there are already many forces secretly investigating everything about Gu Ming! Even the Shangguan family has done in-depth investigations against him more than once!"

"Master, is there really any driving force behind Gu Ming?"

Shangguan Fei shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't know!"

"Don't know?"

"You don't understand! It's because you don't know that this is the most terrible thing!"

After speaking, she handed a letter to Liu Mei'er.

[Don't try to get close to Gu Ming again, let alone carry out any hostile actions against him!]

There is only this short sentence in the letter from the Shangguan family to Shangguan Fei.

The requirements of the family are very clear, intimacy and hostility are forbidden, and it is best to maintain the status quo and gradually distance yourself!

This order made Liu Mei'er a little confused.

After the disciple finished reading the letter, Shangguan Fei continued: "I guess, all parties are jealous of Gu Ming's identity and origin, and the Shangguan family is unwilling to be this up-and-coming bird, so they will pass on such an order to us at this time!"

Liu Meier still seems to understand.

"Then what should we do next? We just signed a contract with Gu Ming, and it's a bit counterproductive to abandon it now, right?"

Shangguan Fei sat down on the chaise longue in front of the hall door, and lay down on his side with the support of Liu Mei'er, and then sighed lightly and said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop! Since you can't withdraw all of a sudden, it's better to do the opposite, board Gu Ming's boat, and bet that he will be able to ride the wind and waves to reach the other side, or everyone will die in the sea together!"

Liu Mei'er was taken aback by the master's words, she opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a while, and finally squeezed out a few words.

"Master, you're making us ......"

Shangguan Fei waved her hand to interrupt Liu Mei'er's guess.

Now that she has said this, she no longer hides it, and points out: "It's not suitable for you to continue to approach him, let Ye'er go!"

......
