The Universe's First Hide and Seek

The next day, Dai Bowen received a new sharpening machine from the housekeeper.

Dai Bowen was at a loss, he hadn't had time to tell the butler why it was delivered to the door automatically.After much deliberation, there is only one other possibility: "Did Windsor help me apply?"

"To be precise, it was Windsor who mentioned it to the young master, and the young master asked him to buy it." The housekeeper replied, "Winsha said that she just mentioned to the young master that you were sharpening by hand, and the young master remembered that the lady used to use If it’s a machine, let’s buy it.”

Dai Bowen felt that this was a bit convoluted: "Then should I thank you, Young Master?"

"It's best not to go without authorization, but I can ask for you." The housekeeper contacted Shen Xiuyuan...'s assistant on the spot and explained the situation.The assistant replied that Shen Xiuyuan knew about it, but there was no need to see him.

"Okay." Dai Bowen sighed after receiving the answer, "It seems that the young man is actually quite a nice person, and he is not as difficult to get along with as the legend says."

"Perhaps the outside world has made him feel better, and he has grown up and matured." The housekeeper smiled, "I'm just here to tell you that the young master didn't use us as a tool to scare chickens and monkeys after he came back. , I'm a little surprised. It seems that he doesn't want to affect others, he just wants to do his own thing well."

Dai Bowen smiled: "I see."

The housekeeper said again: "But what happens has nothing to do with you, just work hard and take care of the garden. Don't be like that Su Jingjing..."

Before he finished speaking, the butler automatically lost his voice.Dai Bowen glanced at him and asked, "What happened to her?"

"Ah, there is something big or small." The butler continued, "Young Master seems to be a little insomnia, and sometimes he is still active in the mansion at night. I helped prepare supper and drinks twice. Some When I met Su Jingjing once, she insisted that there was a good way to cure insomnia, and even stabbed her in front of the young master's assistant. If the assistant didn't stop her, Su Jingjing would have bumped into the young master's face."

Dai Bowen asked, "Does the young master know?"

"Understood." The housekeeper said, "and asked me how she got in. I said that she was recruited through a normal interview, and all the assessments passed, but her personality was a bit out of character. The young master said to give her another chance, if If this happens again, it will be treated as exceeding his post, and he will either be transferred or dismissed."

"So, she has been warned?" Dai Bowen asked, "Where will you be transferred if you are transferred?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's the kitchen. Anyway, it's a position where you can't directly contact the young and old." The steward said, "The last time was just education, but this time it's a warning, and she signed the warning letter. There are two more times, and I can do it." Go through the normal persuasion process. But if you offend the young and old again halfway through, you may prefer to make compensation and dismiss directly."

Dai Bowen thought for a while: "Is Su Jingjing aware of the seriousness of the problem?"

"You should be aware of it." The housekeeper said, "At least in the last night, I won't see her coming out to drink water, go to the toilet and so on. But it also dampens her enthusiasm for work. She used to be more active, but now she seems a little bit I'm timid. I don't know if it's good or bad..."

"It seems that your original impression of her is not bad, is it?"

"Before these two incidents of contradicting the young master, it was not bad."

"So, whose problem do you think this is?"

Hearing this question, the steward was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Dai Bowen's eyes, he subconsciously replied: "Of course it's not about the elder or younger. After all, it should be the responsibility that I haven't educated yet... "

Are you actually taking the blame on yourself... Dai Bowen said this in his mind, and nodded his face: "Okay, I understand."

"Well, then I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." After the butler finished speaking, he left.

Dai Bowen looked at the new portable instrument he just got in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and went back to the garden to continue working.

***

In the afternoon, an unexpected visitor came outside the greenhouse.

Dai Bowen opened the greenhouse door, saw Su Jingjing standing outside, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Jingjing looked at him, then at the garden behind, and asked without answering, "Are you busy?"

"Working." Dai Bowen replied, "So, what's the matter?"

I just mentioned the woman's question in the morning, but in the afternoon, the real person showed up, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

She just didn't know how she came to find a gardener with such a low sense of presence after she hit a wall with Young Master Shen.

"I just want to ask you, are there any defective flowers that have been eliminated today?" Su Jingjing blinked and asked, "If there are any, give me some flowers?"

Dai Bowen replied calmly: "No."

"Not at all?" Su Jingjing asked, "Just a few flowers are fine, how about two or three? How about one?"

Dai Bowen said: "Not a single one."

Su Jingjing was a little surprised.In her opinion, even if there are so many red roses in the greenhouse, it is not a big deal to cut one off, right?So she simply asked directly: "Then, can you give me one? It's okay to have crooked melons and split dates that haven't grown well! I like flowers very much, and I will be very happy if I have one."

She is actually quite cute, and her tone is not aggressive, even cute.For such a young girl, if it were someone else, she would probably give it as long as she gave it.But Dai Bowen always felt that this girl had another purpose, not that she came here to spend another purpose, but that many of her actions had a sense of disobedience.And with Dai Bowen's eyes, he could easily understand the calculations in the girl's eyes.

No matter what she was planning, Dai Bowen didn't want to be part of her plan.

So Dai Bowen replied: "No. These are not my flowers, they belong to the Shen family. I just take care of them."

Su Jingjing was taken aback by this kind of rhetoric: "But...you planted it, one more flower, one less, it doesn't matter. There was no rule on how many flowers you want to grow, right?"

"According to the regulations, except for the requirements of the housekeeper and the garden owner, I can't give flowers to others, and I can't follow the orders of unrelated people to deal with flowers." Dai Bowen replied calmly, "You are now clearly asking me to violate the rules."

"Uh, there's no need to go online like this." Su Jingjing muttered, "Isn't it just a few flowers, even if I take them, I won't let others find out...Why are you so serious?"

Dai Bowen didn't argue with her, and also "turned a blind eye" to the cuteness of this girl, just asked: "Is there anything else just now?"

In fact, these words were clearly driving people away, so Su Jingjing had no choice but to say "No, you should be busy", and left resentfully.

Dai Bowen closed the greenhouse, returned to sit in the corner, thought for a while, and finally called up a page from the communicator.

——Su Jingjing's situation record.

"This person should not be my target.

"However, what is it for?

"Perhaps... I can give some hints next time, so that her actions will be bolder, and her goal will be completely exposed."

***

A few days later, before Dai Bowen could do anything further to Su Jingjing, Shen Xiuyuan, who had only met Su Jingjing before, suddenly met Dai Bowen again.

I said suddenly because it was late at night, and it was thundering and raining outside, so it was a good time to sleep.Dai Bowen had already fallen asleep on the bed, and was woken up by the communication from Assistant Shen Xiuyuan.

"Hmm...?" Dai Bowen hadn't fully woken up yet, and felt that he had heard a question like a dream, "You mean... the young master, uh, Mr. Shen wants to enter the greenhouse now?"

"Yes." The assistant's tone was quite good, "Sorry to disturb your rest, but only you and the housekeeper have the authority to open the greenhouse, right? Boss Shen couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to see his mother's garden, but the housekeeper also fell asleep ...I heard that you live next to the greenhouse, is it convenient to take a look at the door? If you directly give Mr. Shen permission, you don't have to bother you in the future. "

Now that we've talked about this, of course it's impossible for Dai Bowen not to get up.He said wait a minute, hung up the communication and got up.Hairstyles and pajamas and so on, I'm too lazy to do it - Young Master Shen who wakes up someone so impromptu should be somewhat prepared - just grabbed a coat and came.As a result, Shen Xiuyuan and his assistant, who were waiting at the entrance of the greenhouse, turned their heads and saw a young gardener wrapped in a big coat, wearing slippers, and with messy hair like a bird's nest.

Assistant: "...the image is quite special."

"It's not good to keep you waiting." Dai Bowen faced two well-dressed people, and even Shen Xiuyuan, who was able to wear a casual suit in the middle of the night, was very calm about his image.He raked his messy hair, stepped forward to unlock the greenhouse, and explained while doing it: "The only one who can grant authority is the housekeeper. If Mr. Shen needs permission, you can ask the housekeeper tomorrow."

As he spoke, the door of the greenhouse opened with a "tick".The wind and rain hit the glass of the greenhouse, making a crackling sound, but the flowers in the greenhouse just stood quietly in place.

"Thank you." Shen Xiuyuan nodded to him, and drove the wheelchair in.

The assistant followed behind Shen Xiuyuan, said "thank you" and said, "You can go back and rest."

"I can't help it." Dai Bowen leaned against the door and yawned, "I need my fingerprint authentication to open from the inside, so I can't leave. If I am not suitable to be present, then I will wait outside. Call me when you are ready." I can just drive from the outside."

Shen Xiuyuan asked: "Why do you want fingerprints from the inside?"

"There are some important flowers in the greenhouse, and this is the only place that is not monitored, so this door should be more cautious... The housekeeper told me so." Dai Bowen covered his mouth and yawned, "Then I'm going out, Call me if you need something."

Shen Xiuyuan thought for a while: "...There is no need to go out."

"Ok?"

"I haven't been here for a long time, tell me what flowers are here?" Shen Xiuyuan twirled his fingers, "I only know roses, and I don't know much about others."

Dai Bowen was speechless for several seconds: ...you didn't even give me a chance to take a nap.

Shen Xiuyuan didn't seem to notice Dai Bowen's faint displeasure, and continued to ask: "Are these the flowers my mother planted back then?"

Dai Bowen replied lightly: "I have only been working here for five years, Mr. Shen."

This time, it was difficult for Shen Xiuyuan to ignore his displeasure, so he turned his head to look at him: "Get angry?"

Dai Bowen: "Don't dare, Mr. Shen."

"It seems that I'm really unhappy." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Come here, open the collection, and I'll give you the supper fee."

"No, Mr. Shen."

Shen Xiuyuan opened the projection of the transfer amount - one thousand points.

Dai Bowen came over and started the transfer.

Shen Xiuyuan swiped him: "Didn't you say no?"

Dai Bowen: "But you gave too much money."
