Katie Wang was stunned for a moment, her slightly peaceful mood suddenly went crazy, and she had no choice but to brush away her tears with her sleeves.
"It's just me, okay?"
"Why not?"
"I really don't know what the young lord likes about me."
"Because of your sense of words, because of your courage to stop blame, because of your delicate mind, because of you... you would rather sacrifice yourself in exchange for a solution. This is the reason."
After a while, Katie Wang burst into hearty laughter.
"Okay, then I will go with the young lord! Please go this way and collect the bounty. I will pay you a visit soon after finishing the matter."
"Hahaha! Okay! But let's talk about it first. My salary at the beginning is not as good as the salary from Xianfeng. But if you work hard, you will get what you deserve. Sooner or later, this tiny place will be in my pocket."
Object."
Lan Chen is still very confident in his ability to draw big cakes.
After the constant deception, Katie Wang was in a state of excitement, and she even wanted to say no to the salary.
The total bounty for the three criminals is thirty taels.
After asking around, I found out that the person who took the lion's share was Zhang Dalong, a total of twenty taels.
Seeing Lan Chen's huge income, Lin Dongshuang stepped forward and said apologetically, "Lan Chen, I've offended you so much. When I saw you here, I thought you had done something else, so...
....preemptively reprimanded.”
Lin Dongshuang lowered his head, feeling more and more ashamed, "Yesterday I did such a thing without asking for any reason. Today I found out that I actually caught Mr. Chen's big fish. If you hadn't helped me, it would have been impossible.
.”
Lan Chen was a little dazed.
He suddenly missed Lin Dongshuang's scolding behavior as before.
Now he's so squirmy... he's really not used to it.
He could only smile bitterly and said, "Ms. Lin, you were the one who bailed me out of prison, and it was you who gave me a chance to be reborn. I will always remember it in my heart."
"Besides, only you and Sun Miaomiao from Tingyuge Library came to the house yesterday. Although it was nominally to express condolences, at least I have two close friends."
When she heard 'Sun Miaomiao', Lin Dongshuang raised her head and stared straight at Lan Chen, "I want to ask you something."
"explain."
"Xinxinghua's own person, 'Xuzhou Lanchen', who has published several novels recently, is that you?"
"Exactly. What's it like? I wrote well, right?" Lan Chen raised his eyes, feeling very unhappy.
Day by day, this momentum has been suppressed by Lin Dongshuang. With the addition of this reader fan, Lan Chen only feels that his vanity has been greatly satisfied.
But unexpectedly, Lin Dongshuang said with a look of disdain, "The first few books were quite exciting. The plot of the eighteen bends on the mountain road made my eyes light up and I was fascinated by it. But that book... the stinker, all he could think about was
Spring water! Such things..."
At this point, Lin Dongshuang blushed with embarrassment and said fiercely, "How can you describe such a thing! It's so embarrassing!"
"Eh?" Lan Chen asked confusedly, "Which book are you talking about? Why don't I have any impression?"
"Jin Ping Mei!"
"Uh...that's it?" Lan Chen was stunned for a moment.
He didn't copy all the descriptions in the original work. He just took it one step at a time and left enough fantasy. Would this still be deviant?
"I hope you can write more exciting stories instead of those dirty things! Farewell, I hope not to see you!"
After saying that, Lin Dongshuang turned around and left angrily.
Lan Chen was left confused, shaking his head helplessly.
Wang Katie, who was on the side, saw this and hurriedly came forward, whispering, "Little Lord! I didn't expect that the book "Jin Ping Mei" was written by you!"
"What? You want to come to me too?"
"No, no, no." Katie Wang waved her hands repeatedly, "We are not familiar with ordinary girls, but I think that book is your pinnacle work! The most popular thing among the rough men in the world is your book The Plum in the Golden Ping, with its so-called descriptions
What a wonderful thing. It is indeed the right choice to hang out with you, young lord!"
"Okay. Then I'll keep up the good work." Lan Chen smiled bitterly, "Then we'll see you later."
"Please walk slowly, see you later."
After coming out of the Xianfeng Institute, Lan Chen was extremely sleepy, but with the support of his willpower, he still went to Yanfang first.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang was already awake and admiring the small vat of dye.
"Lao Zhang? Why don't you sleep for a while?"
"Master, you are back. I am getting old, so I can't sleep at night."
"Tsk, okay, I can't do it anyway, so I'll take a moment. There are fifty taels of silver here. As for who to recruit and what to buy for the workshop, you can figure it out."
Taking the heavy bag of money, Lao Zhang asked tremblingly, "Master, you... you'd better come with me. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
"Not at ease? What's the reason?"
"This is too much silver. Besides, young master, if you are with me, you can also know how much silver is spent here and how much is spent there."
"Stop it." Lan Chen stopped him, "Don't be suspicious of people you hire, and don't be suspicious of others. If I have a grudge against you, how can I let you feel at ease and show off your talents? You were once the head of the family, just keep a good record of the accounts. Just recruit people.
Let’s get it at a price higher than the market price, we really need manpower.”
"The money was not enough, so he told me that I could also go to Tingyuge to advance the money for selling books."
"That's enough, that's enough." Lao Zhang nodded like he was pecking at rice, his eyes filled with the unique excitement of knowing and meeting someone. "Then the young master will wait for my good news."
"Well, that's good. By the way, I've recruited someone to be a long-term worker. Let's leave a place for him. I'll lend you the bed board. I'm really sleepy."
A little bit of embarrassment passed by, and Lao Zhang's excuse was dismissed by Lan Chen, "Stop being so nagging, I don't mind how dirty and messy it is. At worst, I'll sleep on the floor now."
"Hahaha, okay, the young master is so bold, and I am so coquettish, I really don't look like a man. The bed board is at the attic. Now the young master has a rest, I will go out to find some help."
Although it is a humble room, it is warm and cozy, especially for Lan Chen at this time. No matter how messy the bed is, it is still his home.
After staying up all night and working hard all day, he fell into a deep sleep.
Sunset time.
Lan Chen was awakened by the movement outside.
"Ah? There are so many people here. Lao Zhang is back? I have to go down and have a look."
After getting up and straightening his clothes, Lan Chen took a leisurely stroll down the stairs.
After seeing this, Lao Zhang was excited and wanted to say something to the young master, but he was shocked by the inexplicable aura of Lan Chen. When he saw his serious eyes, Lao Zhang withdrew his excitement and said respectfully, "Master, I
came back."
"Everyone, this is the owner of Yan Fang and the young lord of Lan Mansion."
"Greetings, young lord!"
The eyes of the people behind Lao Zhang flashed with a hint of reluctance, but they continued to call him.
As for the reputation of the young lord, hey, if it weren't for his status as the boss, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to convince the public.
Lan Chen knew this, so he was so serious, at least to scare the Chang Gong.
"Yes. You are in good spirits. Lao Zhang, you are the boss and you must be able to do things well. What is the salary situation of long-term workers in the market?"
"I'm reporting to the Young Lord, the head laborer of the workshop paid fifty cents a month for his salary. We were in a hurry, so he offered seventy cents." Lao Zhang apologized.
But Lan Chen just waved his hand, indicating not to take it to heart, "I think you are also attracted by the enthusiasm of the boss, but I have another suggestion here. I will give you one or two wages a month, but there are additional conditions.
