Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

In the evening, Gu Chan and Wei Xing sat at the small table in the study and ate dumplings.

Long Yu and Jie San Shao slumped in the chairs opposite them.

While eating, Wei Xing said, "I sent someone to check this afternoon. These two families have clean backgrounds. They both started out as legitimate businesses, and they have a good reputation in the local area."

"So, take it?" Gu Chan asked.

"You are the lord, you decide!" Wei Xing said unhappily.

Gu Chan said with a strange smile, "Look at this Long Yu, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a hot body. Do you want me to keep her in the lord's mansion as the deputy chief steward, so that you can pick her up then!"

"Hey! To be honest, I still have a family feud to avenge, so I don't want to consider matters of love." Wei Xing said seriously.

"Don't give me that crap. Others may not understand you, but don't I understand you? Do you have someone in your heart?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.

Wei Xing shook his head. "Really not. If there is anyone, it's you."

"It's me?" Gu Chan was stunned.

Oh shit!

She felt a little embarrassed when she heard a grown man say such things to her.

Wei Xing didn't think too much and said sincerely, "Ever since I followed you in Zhongyuan City, I have understood one thing, that is, if I want to climb to a higher position, I must do my best to help you get to a high position. Only in this way can I have the opportunity to avenge my family and clear my father's grievances."

"Okay, stop being so sentimental. You look disgusting now. Recover a little. I still like you when you're being lazy and not doing your job." Gu Chan said jokingly.

Wei Xing curled his lips, rolled his eyes at Gu Chan, and was extremely speechless.

At this moment, Long Yu and Jie Sanshao woke up from their coma one after another.

The two men sat up straight, both put their hands on their foreheads, and felt dizzy.

Gu Chan stared at them and said, "Are you hungry? Would you like two bowls of glutinous rice balls?"

"My Lord...we dare not eat anymore." Long Yu said with a bitter face.

"It's okay. There's no sleeping pill this time. You can take it without worry." Gu Chan said with a laugh.

After saying that, she told the maid to bring in two more bowls of dumplings and handed them to Long Yu and Jie Sanshao.

The two looked at each other, their faces became extremely stiff, and they didn't dare to eat anything that Gu Chan gave them.

Wei Xing smiled faintly and said, "Eat quickly! Once you are full, the Lord will be able to discuss important matters with you later."

"Yes, thank you, Lord, and thank you, General Manager." The two men thanked him in unison, then let down their guard and started eating the dumplings in their bowls.

After eating, the two felt much better and the dizziness in their heads completely disappeared. Only then did they believe that there was indeed no drug in the two bowls of dumplings.

Gu Chan ordered the maid to take the empty bowl away, then looked at the two and said, "You all know about the offensive and defensive battle between me and General Zuo. Now he has left with his soldiers, but I am indeed in need of some trustworthy men. I think you two are good and can be used."

"Thank you for your trust, Lord." The two men saluted with their eyes shining.

"Young Master Jie, if I give you the position of a county magistrate, do you have the confidence to do a good job as one?" Gu Chan asked.

Young Master Xie felt flattered, and hurriedly stood up and knelt down, solemnly promising, "If the Lord really trusts me so much, then I promise to be a good county magistrate and benefit the local people. If not, I will come to you with my head."

"Okay, then take the official uniform, official hat and official seal in this bag and go to the county government in Jiangnan City to take up your post! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'm very busy all day long." Gu Chan said without thinking.

After saying that, she reached out and picked up the package beside her which contained the three-piece set of the county magistrate's uniform and threw it out.

Young Master Jie hurriedly took the package, opened it, and found that it contained the official uniform, hat, and seal of the Jiangnan City County Magistrate. Then he looked up at Gu Chan, and was completely stunned.

He never thought that being an official could be so casual. He originally thought that to become the county magistrate, he would have to pay some price. But judging from the current situation, it seems that he was thinking too much!

Gu Chan glared at him and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"No... Lord... I'm going to take up the office right now?" Young Master Jie said dully.

"Yes! What else?" Gu Chan asked back.

"According to the rules in Jiangnan, if I, a member of a wealthy family, want to become an official, don't I have to go through the three rituals and six teachings and donate money before I can take office?" said Sanshao Jie.

Gu Chan said with disdain, "Bullshit, there are no such rules here. You just need to remember that as an official, you cannot bully the people. Instead, you must govern Jiangnan City well and let the people live a good life. Just hand me a satisfactory answer."

"Your Excellency the Lord is wise. Your humble servant, Young Master Jie, will obey your orders." Young Master Jie opened his eyes wide and kowtowed in great admiration to express his gratitude.

After that, he stood up and took his leave, left the lord's mansion with his package on his back, and went directly to the Jiangnan City County Government to take up his post.

After he left, Gu Chan looked at Long Yu and said, "My lord's mansion is still short of a deputy steward, who is responsible for managing the servants and maids. If you don't mind, you can take this position!"

"What are you saying, Lord? I am just a commoner. How dare I despise such a position! I would love to have it." Long Yu hurriedly stood up and knelt down and said.

"Then get up! Follow Wei Xing to choose a courtyard. After you settle down, he will explain to you what the deputy general manager should do every day." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

After expressing his gratitude, Long Yu stood up from the ground and followed Wei Xing away silently.

Gu Chan sat back down at her desk and continued to process reports sent in from various places.

"Boom..."

More than an hour later, when Gu Chan was concentrating on processing a report in the study, bursts of terrifying thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky outside.

"Pili bang la..."

Then dark clouds gathered in the night sky, lightning and thunder flashed, and violent storms came violently.

Wei Xing rushed in from outside the study room, closed the door with great effort, ran to the desk, all wet, and said, "Little Boss, the weather is not right tonight! The strong spiritual energy and an extremely unpleasant fishy smell are mixed in with the violent storm."

"It's over...something big is going to happen..." Gu Chan said with eyes wide open and a grim face.

Her strength is much stronger than Wei Xing's. Wei Xing can feel that there is something wrong with the storm tonight. How can she not feel it?

Moreover, she could also feel that the powerful spiritual energy and fishy smell raging in the storm were coming from the direction of Tiancang River.

Doesn’t this mean that the monster that has been hiding in the Tiancang River can no longer hold back and is finally going to start causing trouble?
