Among the first five people who entered the East Palace, Zhou Buyan was invisible and Xiao Wang was the weakest.
Apart from his appearance, his family background is not as good as that of Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou, and he is also the most ignored. After all, he is just a commoner.
Chu Xingchen reused him, which also attracted a lot of gossip.
But looking back now, all Chu Xingchen said was his sharp eyesight, and Xiao Wang was mentioned in good words.
Because Xiao Wang has completely expanded his business, especially in recent months, no one can ignore it. It is not just as simple as making money, but also affects the situation and people's livelihood at every turn.
Why is he so influential? Because he is capable. With the full trust and support of Chu Xingchen and the technical support of Xu Dandan and other talents, he has grown into a towering tree.
Xiao Wang is not just a businessman, he is a bit similar to a state-owned enterprise. He controls several state-owned enterprises and has business all over the three countries, even Beidi.
The influence is getting bigger and bigger, and Xiao Wang's reputation is getting louder and louder. In the past, when Xiao Wang was mentioned, he was Xiao Shangshu's son. Now when Xiao Shangshu goes out, he occasionally hears about Xiao Jun's father.
This shows how powerful and important Xiao Wang is. Neither Qi nor Wu’s concubines thought that Xiao Wang could grow into such a towering tree silently.
You didn't pay attention before, but when you noticed him and started to be wary of him, you didn't dare to act rashly.
These successful influences do not come for nothing, they are inseparable from the efforts of CEO Xiao Wang. Of course, he has a lot to do and needs to leave the palace frequently.
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Chu Chu to find Xiao Wang.
When Chu Chu heard that she was asked to contact Xiao Wang and cooperate with Xiao Wang, she was reluctant. She was too lazy to use any means. She believed that Chu Xingchen would not be able to help but look for her.
But in the end, he had no choice but to go and follow the instructions to go to Pengci to go to Xiao Wang in the Dachu Library.
The Dachu Library has now spread all over the important cities of Dachu. It has great influence, greatly reducing the cost of studying, and attracting many scholars from Wu and Qi. Now it has already opened to Qi and Wu.
The emperors of Qi and Wu naturally did not want such a library to be established. They had also opened libraries before, but they were not comparable at all.
They don't like it, but the scholars welcome it, so they can only compromise. Otherwise, the scholars may have to leave Dachu. If they go to Dachu, they may be tempted to take the imperial examination in Dachu.
This is a very serious brain drain. They want to stop it, and they cannot recommend imperial examinations, so they can only turn a blind eye.
Xiao Wang usually comes to the first Dachu library, which is the main library, to grasp the trend of public opinion, find problems and adjust them. He reads more and listens more, and he can also make adjustments to the publishing aspect.
Xiao Wang always kept a low profile every time he came here. He skillfully dressed himself up, thickened his eyebrows, darkened his face, put on a beard, tried his best to suppress the dazzle on his body, and put on a cloth shirt, just like an ordinary scholar. , the same this time.
In the past, he was low-key and unattractive, and no one noticed anything fishy about him.
But I just entered Dachu Library today and bumped into someone at the corner of the bookshelf.
It was a girl, dressed in red and wearing a red gauze curtain hat. The collision caused the curtain hat to fall off.
Although she quickly put her curtain hat back on, her appearance had already caught Xiao Wang's eyes.
When Xiao Wang saw her, he was distracted for a moment. The woman, Chu Chu, saw him like this and thought that a fish had taken the bait and asked him for help.
"Master, can you please help me? There are two people who have been following me. I don't know who they are. I dare not leave the library for fear that they will continue to chase me."
Xiao Wang's dark eyes flashed with dark light, "Okay, girl, come with me."
Chu Chu's eyes were filled with joy, "Thank you sir."
She sounded delighted, but a hint of disdain flashed at the corner of her mouth.
Before setting off, she was told many times that this Mr. Xiao was the smiling tiger, and she must not be fooled by his handsome face. They said that as handsome as his face was, he was more dangerous. She must be careful, as he was particularly unlucky.
Easy to deal with.
The result...that's it?
His face was covered in gray after being disguised. Although he still couldn't conceal his elegant demeanor, he really didn't see the danger, nor did he see anything difficult to deal with. He was fooled just by showing his face.
Chu Chu cursed in her heart, but pretended to be grateful and followed Xiao Wang upstairs and into his unique quiet office.
This office was built to be shielded, and it was in a blind spot, so few people noticed it.
They went in and no one noticed.
Chu Chu was also a little surprised, "I have been to the library several times, and this is the first time I know there is such a room."
Chu Chu looked around and saluted Luoluo generously, "I'm lucky to be saved by the young master today. Chu Chu is extremely grateful."
"Chu Chu?" Xiao Wang held the teacup and looked up at her.
"Yes, because both her parents' surname is Chu, and the little girl's name is Chu Chu." After Chu Chu finished speaking, she saw Xiao Wang looking at her, "Why do you look at me like this, young master?"
Xiao Wang seemed to have come back to his senses, "It's nothing."
A trace of disdain flashed in Chu Chu's eyes, "It's fine if it's nothing. I thought there was something on my face. I wonder what your surname is?"
Xiao Wang smiled inexplicably, "You don't know who I am, why are you bumping into me?"
He put down the teacup and leaned back, "Didn't you just know who I am, so you deliberately approached me with that face?"
Xiao Wang, who seemed harmless just now, changed in an instant, his eyes became gloomy, and the air around him instantly became depressed with his words.
Chu Chu's heart seemed to be squeezed hard in an instant, and her spine felt chilly. The contempt and disdain she had just now turned into uneasiness.
She seemed to have misjudged the person and was careless.
"Sir... you seem to have suddenly changed. If you don't want to tell me your name, I won't ask."
Chu Chu pretended to be scared and continued acting.
"Originally, I wanted to deal with you to see what your purpose was, but when I actually talked to you, I realized that I had overestimated myself. It was too off-putting and I was too lazy to deal with you."
Xiao Wang pressed his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of approaching me?"
"I don't... have no purpose." Chu Chu had a bad intuition and couldn't help but take a step back, but bumped into the table and was knocked directly to the ground, kneeling in front of Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang watched coldly, seemingly unaware of her stiffness and fear, and just picked up the scroll and knocked the curtain off her head.
Chu Chu's face was completely revealed in front of Xiao Wang.
A trace of panic flashed across Chu Chu's face, but she quickly adjusted and continued to act, "Master, what are you doing? Looking at your appearance, I didn't expect to behave like this."
She saw Chu Xingchen with her own eyes that day and knew that her eyes were the most unlike Chu Xingchen. When this day came, she specially modified her eyes to become more like Chu Xingchen, and even imitated the way she looked at people.
She accused, hoping in her heart that Xiao Wang would change his attitude when he saw her face.
Little did he know that the more she looked like Chu Xingchen, the more Xiao Wang disliked her.
"It's not just imitation of others, it's still pretentious. Where did you get the confidence to appear in front of me like this, with your ugly face?"
Xiao Wang's eyes were full of disgust, as if he saw something unclean, "It really makes me sick."
