Temperament

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, "My lord, the butler is here. My lord!"

"Mr. Shen, the account book that Master Shao talked about last time...Mr. Shen, you are..."

It was Zhuo Shi'an, the housekeeper, standing by the door holding the account book, looking at the cotton wool and torn satin cloth all over the floor, tongue-tied.Zhuo Xin next to him stared round, looked over with surprised and worried eyes, didn't know what to say, just murmured, "Young Master, Young Master..."

Shen Qinglan turned her eyes around the two of them, and when she saw Zhuo Shi'an, she suddenly remembered that he was the one who knocked on her door that night, spoke politely, and easily sent herself into Zhuo Tianyi's jaws.

A wave of resentment rose from her heart, and Shen Qinglan glared at him, "I don't know what ledger or not! Get out!"

Zhuo Shi'an was taken aback for a moment, then he held up the account book in front of his face to cover his face, and retreated in a panic, "Okay, Shi'an go out right away, Mr. Shen, don't get angry..." He shrank his head and ran out without looking back .

In the study room in the front hall, Zhuo Tianyi listened to Zhuo Shi'an's stern report, with a surprised and interested smile on his face, "He really said that?"

"That's not right, young master," Zhuo Shi'an complained quickly, "I just walked to the door of your room, and saw Mr. Shen sitting on the bedside tearing the pillow and quilt, and the cotton cloth strips all over the floor... Blame me for not paying attention. No, he was kicked out by Mr. Shen... He was very kind, he is not such a person..."

"Go to the door of the inner room? What do you want to do?" Zhuo Tianyi's focus was a little strange.

"I...I just want to pass a new account book to Mr. Shen, and ask him if he has any questions." Zhuo Shi'an defended a little bit wronged. God is sorry, he originally wanted to find a chance to talk to this young master. The people next to the pillow have a good relationship, but they didn't expect to have a bad nose as soon as they met each other.

Seeing Zhuo Tianyi's thoughtful expression with a smile on his face, Zhuo Shi'an took another step closer and said, "Young master, Shi'an has the courage to say, Mr. Shen, he still doesn't want to look at it, look at this account book... ..."

"Of course I have a way to make him willing!" Zhuo Tianyi said confidently, pondered for a while, and asked again: "By the way, last time you said that the master of Xiwen Hall wants to retire?"

"Yes, the gentleman said that he is old and in poor health, and he wants to return to his hometown after receiving his annual salary at the end of the year, and he will not come back."

"Okay, you give him an annual salary immediately and let him go back to his hometown!"

"Ah?" Zhuo Shi'an was surprised and perplexed, "It's only March [-]th, and the salary for one year is too... Besides, after resigning from him, how can we find a new husband so quickly?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way!" Zhuo Tianyi's eyes flashed with excitement, "Do as I say!"

Zhuo Shi'an glanced at him, wanted to say something but didn't dare, hesitated for a moment, and went away with embarrassment on his face.

Zhuo Tianyi leaned back in the chair, put his two long legs on the desk, and put his hands behind his head, "Shen Qinglan!"

Gently uttering the name, a proud smile appeared on his lips, and his mind became active, as if a leisurely hunter had finally found a prey that aroused his interest and was willing to spend energy on it.

It seems that yesterday's hard work was not in vain, and the aggressive tactics and small concessions in the evening were also put to good use. Shen Qinglan was not as firm and invulnerable as he said, and finally lost his composure.Perhaps, with a little more effort, he would have surrendered.

Meng Huaiyuan, you are not the only one who can win people's hearts. I, Zhuo Tianyi, can still turn your people into mine, and I will slowly make him steadfast and never leave.

He sketched carefully in his mind, as if he found something very attractive and challenging.

That's right, the painstaking efforts of the past three years have been spent on how to rectify the Zhuo family and recapture Jiang Moyan, and suddenly I feel free, and I really feel that there is nothing to do.It's good to have such a stubborn person now, otherwise, this life would be too lonely.

Zhuo Tianyi pondered for a while in the study, seeing that it was still early, he asked his servant to lead a horse from the stable, and rode it straight to South Street.

When we returned to the backyard, it was already time to light the lights. After entering the east chamber, Zhuo Tianyi glanced at the window, and the thin figure was reflected on the window paper, as if he was thinking about something.

It was rare for Shen Qinglan not to lie down early to avoid him, and Zhuo Tianyi had a very fresh smile on his face. Thinking about it, he probably knew that his tricks were old, so it would be inconvenient to use them again.

After walking into the room, I realized that this was not the case. Shen Qinglan leaned on the head of the bed in her cloak and bowed her face in silence. Zhuo Xin sat on the foot of the bed, looked up at his face, and comforted him with a clumsy expression: "...my lord , don't think too much, and don't worry about things... I know you feel aggrieved, but it's useless to be aggrieved, you might as well think about it, the young master still loves you very much, it's just domineering... "

Turning around and seeing Zhuo Tianyi coming in, Zhuo Xin bit his tongue in fright, "Dao Ao...Master Ao...You really love my son...His..."

Zhuo Tianyi put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, "Go, I have something to say to the young master."

Zhuo Xin ran out the door in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

Zhuo Tianyi sat down by the bed, glanced at the pillow that had been replaced earlier, and a smile appeared on his lips, "I heard that you are in a bad mood today, what happened, please tell me."

Shen Qinglan bowed her head in silence, as if she didn't hear what he said.

Zhuo Tianyi nodded understandingly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I just think that instead of venting your anger on the pillow or quilt, you might as well just say it to me. Anyway, I can give you a reaction."

"Zhuo Tianyi, can you stop being so hypocritical?" Shen Qinglan finally spoke, her eyes still resting on the quilt at hand, "I am the meat from the fish knife on your case, you can chop it however you want, why bother to display these things?" A hypocritical gesture to disgust me?"

Zhuo Tianyi shook his head and laughed out loud, "Here it is again, Shen Qinglan, how many times do you have to say it before you believe me, I care about you with good intentions, am I just pretending?"

"Whether you're hypocritical or not, you know it in your own heart!"

"Well, even if I'm pretending," Zhuo Tianyi was in a good mood, smiled generously when he heard the words, looked at him again and said: "Now, I'm pretending to ask you, I don't know if you can do me a favor? "

"Master Zhuo just obeys orders."

"Okay, then I'll be straight. The housekeeper told me that the gentleman in the Xiwen Hall is getting old, and he can't find a new one for a while. I saw you teaching Zhuo Xin to read a few days ago, and you are still very knowledgeable. So, I plan to let you You go." Zhuo Tianyi looked at him, "What do you think?"

"Is this also your kindness?" Shen Qinglan asked back, the word "kindness" was very clear.

"No, this is what I want you to do." Zhuo Tianyi was very straightforward, stopped for a while, and said again: "Of course, there are good intentions in it, as long as you are willing to see it."

Shen Qinglan remained silent, with a look of disapproval on her face.Although Zhuo Tianyi didn't know exactly how Shen Qinglan changed from being obedient in the morning to the unwilling state in one day, but he also knew that it must have been hard yesterday, and he had no choice but to retreat , After thinking about it today, I turned back again.However, as long as he can't hold his breath, it means that the method is used correctly.

Maybe, it just needs to be a little hard on the front and back.

Thinking, Zhuo Tianyi patted his hand, "You are bored here every day, only Zhuo Xin is with you, and you are lonely enough. If you have something to do, you won't worry about worrying things every day, right?"

"Then thank you for your kindness." Shen Qinglan pulled her hand away from him, "Anyway, I can't refuse, can I?"

"That is to say, you agreed?" Zhuo Tianyi was a little happy, with a smile on his face.

"I don't agree, can you agree?"

Asked coldly, Zhuo Tianyi didn't feel angry, "It's good that you can figure it out."

He stretched out his hand to untie the cloth bag, revealing an ebony box, opened the lid, and inside was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The pens, inks and inkstones were inlaid with golden patterns, obviously of great value.

"This is for you. Baolinzhai's high-quality goods are even better than the one I used. Go to the Xiwen Hall tomorrow and bring it with you."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the table, then looked away, "Thank you Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Tianyi didn't take it seriously, put the lid on with a smile, got up and untied his belt and coat, and said in a relaxed tone, "Speaking of it, this is also to let you integrate into the Zhuo family as soon as possible. You know, I intend to ask you to collect and check Zhuo's clothes." I am afraid that you will be dissatisfied with all the accounts of the family if you are suddenly involved. Why don't you let you do some other affairs first, get started a little bit, and slowly infiltrate, when the time comes, it will be impossible if they don't accept it. "

Shen Qinglan suddenly felt short of breath, her chest seemed to be stuffed with wet cotton, she couldn't get up and down, she just felt more and more difficult to breathe, and couldn't help but hate: "Zhuo Tianyi, you have so many soft and hard methods, Who dares to refuse to accept it?!"

Zhuo Tianyi laughed aloud when he heard it, raised his hand to hang the coat belt on the screen, walked back to the bed and sat down, "Isn't there one here? Take it, do you accept it?"

"I'm a proton, how dare I?"

"You dare," Zhuo Tianyi backed away a little, looked at Shen Qinglan's face in the bed, and said very directly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have to expend so much effort."

It was like the words of snatching in the daytime and loudly preaching, Shen Qinglan felt disgusted again after hearing it, and turned to stare at him, "Zhuo Tianyi, can you stop talking like that?" There was resentment in his tone, and there was even a hint of imperceptible annoyed.

"I just said that," Zhuo Tianyi looked straight into his eyes, "I want your person, I want your heart. I said long ago that I will treat you better than Meng Huaiyuan. It's you who don't believe it!"

"Are those of yours okay?!"

"It's not good, at least it's not bad." Zhuo Tianyi suddenly smiled, and moved his face closer, "Do you want me to lock you up, force you, and abuse you, so that you can concentrate on thinking about Meng Huaiyuan and remembering your memories?" In the past? I am not a reckless man who can only threaten with force. It is just a stopgap measure. If we want to last forever, we have to use other methods. Otherwise, how do you think I killed my father within three years? Zhuo’s family becomes mine?”

"You..." Shen Qinglan's complexion turned pale, and only now did he realize that this person not only disgusted him, but also frightened him. His righteousness, arrogance and arrogance made him want to resist.

He glared at him angrily, but couldn't find words to refute for a while.

The author has something to say: before becoming the chief financial officer of the Zhuo Group, Shen Mi first became the director of the training department and is about to take up the post.
