Troubled World Merchant

Duan Jintang rested at home for a few days before recovering, and he was not idle during this period. All the goods they shipped back were waiting to be put on the shelves. The follow-up arrangement was that Duan Jintang did not go in person, but he wanted to see the details. All the managers in the shop knew about him. Habits, everything must be remembered clearly.

Wang Guisheng showed him the accounts: "Master, all the accounts are here, you can take a look at them." This young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a good temper tempered by rolling around. Taking care of him all the way, he was very kind to him, asked the old butler to pour tea and snacks for him, and invited him to sit down, Wang Guisheng was not restrained, and sat down steadily.

Duan Jintang was reading the accounts right across from him. He read the accounts very carefully. His slender fingers twirled the pages one by one, and he was very patient. The boring accounts were like a good novel. Wang Guisheng looked at him carefully and felt that Especially... good looking, today he is wearing a light green robe, the clothes are as docile as flowing water, the posture of holding the ledger is the same as that of Daiyu reading in the West Chamber in the red building.Wang Guisheng couldn't think of too many beautiful words, just watched him carefully and smiled sincerely, so he didn't rush to rush him, and the time flowed slowly while enjoying the sight.

Duan Jintang doesn't have much skill, he doesn't understand higher-level management, and he doesn't understand those advanced management concepts. The only thing he knows is the rules inherited from the older generation, buying goods at the lowest price Then sell it at a high price, and the few stewards who run it for him are still old when his father was around. The shop he runs is also simple. Even if a few managers wanted to get some benefits from it, they didn't dare to make big moves, and Duan Jintang opened and closed his eyes for smaller moves and let him pass.

Duan Jintang focused all his attention on the accounts. He read the thick book carefully, and after making sure that there were no major discrepancies, he nodded, "That's right. Manager Wang has always been very careful about accounts." Wang Guisheng Smiling: "Master, don't you want to go to the store?" Duan Jintang thought that there was nothing interesting about it, so he shook his head: "Is Guanshi Wang better? It's been a hard journey for you." Wang Guisheng smiled openly: "It's okay, I Dad is suffering from wind and cold, and he has been much better these few days."

Duan Jintang knew that he should go and see Steward Wang. After all, he got sick because he dragged him to Anhui and was frightened all the way. A master doesn't need to visit a servant, but he can still say polite words, especially to his son, Duan Jintang once again thanked: "It's been a hard journey for you, I should go and see Mr. Wang he……"

Wang Guisheng thought he was being polite, so he took the words: "Master, this is what we should do. My father has been thanking you for your trust in him all these years, and has always wanted to invite you to our house for dinner, but he has never dared to disturb you. If he knows that Master, you must be very happy to visit him, I will go back and tell him."

Duan Jintang was speechless, he couldn't regret what he couldn't say, he started to stare at the old butler opposite him, the old butler smiled at him, master, you should go and see him, don't talk about this time, what he did all these years It can be considered hard work.Duan Jintang looked at Wang Guisheng, who was still looking at him enthusiastically, and swallowed hard: "No...you don't need to make special preparations, he's not in good health yet, I just went to see him."

Having said that, Wang Guisheng was still very happy: "It's great to be able to go, master." Seeing his good attitude, Wang Guisheng's affection for him increased to the point that Duan Jintang was so enthusiastic that he was flattered. Is he that good?Don't you all dislike him?This is also Duan Jintang's strategy. He is generally not very enthusiastic about people, and he lives in seclusion. Every time he goes to the store, they are all holding him like stars, making it difficult for him to put down his airs and receive him. It is true that there is nothing good to say. Duan Jintang has already learned about this shortcoming from the old housekeeper, and the old housekeeper told him to keep his words down every time.

Seeing Duan Jintang's hesitation, Wang Guisheng struck while the iron was hot: "Master, if you don't mind, let's go now."

Now? !Duan Jintang almost bit the tip of his tongue.He just got up now, even though it was already afternoon, the old butler didn't give him a chance to regret it, and stood beside him: "Master, the weather is fine today, the sun is out, it's warmer, I've prepared a gift box for you."

Even the gift box is ready?The old housekeeper looked at him very kindly. The master is going. Steward Wang is the chief supervisor, and his son is still responsible for the purchase. If you don't calm him down, he will suffer a huge loss if he leaves.

Duan Jintang finally struggled: "I'm going to change clothes, you, Guisheng, you sit here for a while." Wang Guisheng readily agreed, although he felt that Duan Jintang was already doing well, and there was no need to dress up.

Duan Jintang went upstairs and sat on the bed. He didn't want to go out at all. His home was as warm as spring, but it was icy and snowy outside. He really didn't want to suffer at all. Hey, life is not easy. Look at a servant.

The old housekeeper pampered him when he was pampered, but he was uncompromising when he should not be pampered. He found clothes for him from the cloakroom. It was cold outside, so he didn't let him wear a long robe, but added clothes to his suit. He put on a cotton vest, a thick woolen coat, and a hat. This is foolproof. The old butler followed him: "Okay, sir."

Duan Jintang groaned, knowing that he couldn't push it, he went downstairs. Wang Guisheng stood up when he saw him going downstairs. Duan Jintang in formal attire was much more luxurious than the casual look at home just now. When he looked down, his phoenix eyes would You couldn't sit still, so you couldn't help but stood up. Wang Guisheng took a few steps forward, and his mood suddenly became respectful.

Duan Jintang took the old housekeeper there. Wang Guisheng's house is well furnished, not as luxurious as Duan's house, but it is also a compound that enters and exits frequently. Steward Wang expressed great enthusiasm for Duan Jintang's visit, and asked the kitchen to make a While eating at the table, Wang Guisheng was even more thoughtful at home, twisting a hot towel to wipe Duan Jintang's hands with his own hands, Duan Jintang retracted when he touched his hand, he is not used to being in contact with men.

Wang Guisheng didn't care about his actions, and he didn't think about his little problem, he still helped him with the dishes with a smile. When Duan Jintang arrived at someone's house, he was more hypocritical. The time is impeccable, acting is better than real life, and of course you should be more polite to outsiders than relatives.

The host and guests enjoyed the meal so much that Steward Wang was so touched that he personally sent him to the door and opened the car door for him. A skinny old man, who was wearing a thick cotton coat and didn’t look bloated, bent over to invite him into the car. Duan Jintang sighed inwardly, and said kindly on his face, "Okay, Steward Wang, you haven't recovered from your illness, go back quickly." Even so, the Wang family father and son watched his car disappear before returning home.

Now that Duan Jintang was out, he wanted to go to the store, to see Ye Shaojun. Ye Shaojun was very happy to see him, and brought him a cup of coffee: "Uncle." The old housekeeper was there, and Duan Jintang sat obediently. Show him the account book of Mominglou, he doesn't hide his secrets, show him everything that should be shown to him, Duan Jintang reads all when he is next to the old housekeeper, Ye Shaojun is doing very well, this month's income is more than ever good.

Ye Shaojun smiled and said to him: "Uncle, it's almost the end of the new year, business is going well, and everyone wants to be lively, and old customers who are used to drinking order tea from here. In just half a month, it's time to go to tea." Two months of sales, there is still one month before the Chinese New Year, it will only get better, don't worry, uncle."

Duan Jintang looked at him silently. The high-spirited Ye Shaojun was a little childish, just like that year when he took him around to play and introduced him all the things he thought were fun. He was enthusiastic and lively, and he was very kind to himself. It's fine except I don't like him.Duan Jintang liked his vigor, but it disappeared as soon as he touched him. Duan Jintang sighed, and couldn't sit here any longer. He handed the account book to Ye Shaojun: "Well, it's good. Xiaoye ,I'm going back."

Ye Shaojun sent him down in surprise, opened the car door for him, and told the driver to drive slowly on the road, because there was snow and the road was difficult.Duan Jintang nodded to him. On the way, Duan Jintang wanted to be depressed again, but the old housekeeper kept saying beside him that it was the Chinese New Year, and he had to prepare some things for the Chinese New Year. There was no mistress in the Duan Mansion. You have to worry about the inside and outside.

As soon as Duan Jintang heard that it would cost money to buy things, he cheered up, and the two began to discuss what to buy. Duan Jintang is almost 25 this year, and his birthday is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is Xiaonian's birthday. He will be 25 in a few days. Yes, but I still have a childish temper. When I hear about buying things for the New Year, I will always be more excited. I want to buy things but I feel bad about money, so he wants to participate in buying things at home.

The two of them didn't have a pen to write on the way. After returning home, Duan Jintang took a pen to write. The old housekeeper was reading the things he wanted to buy. First of all, things for ancestor worship.During the Chinese New Year period, the New Year's goods must be fully prepared. He has five older sisters. Although his parents died at home, it is still necessary to go home to worship the ancestors and visit his younger brother.

Duan Jintang thought about his sisters being happy and having a headache. The sisters were very lively, but they had to bring some things back home once they came, and those little devils also needed the lucky money. As his uncle, he wanted to share the lucky money, so he couldn’t do less. His sister's family looked down on her.

Duan Jintang wrote down the New Year's money to be given one by one. Looking at the sums of money, he felt very distressed. The old housekeeper brought him a snack and smiled: "Master, eat something first." After eating, it's good Counting the money of the servants at home and the wages of the employees in the store this year, this is another large sum of money, and it will definitely make him feel bad.

Sure enough, Duan Jintang was so distressed that he wanted to lay off the staff, the old housekeeper smiled: "Master, there are already very few servants in our house, and if we lay off more servants, there will be no one to clean the house."

Duan Jintang wrote and counted all afternoon, the old housekeeper saw that it was getting dark, and it was time for dinner, so he asked him to eat. Anyway, the places that cost a lot of money are basically considered, and the small places will be done tomorrow, those for the New Year There are too many trivial things, and I can't finish it in a while.

Duan Jintang thinks about it. He had dinner with the old housekeeper. Ye Shaojun has been very busy recently, so he didn't come back for dinner. Duan Jintang also knew that he was busy at the end of the year, so he didn't ask him to come back. Put a disc in the bookcase, and the soothing music came out. I picked a book from the bookcase and read it quietly. When I live alone, I always feel extra honest. Books are boring, and so are others. , so he read it page by page, just like looking at an account.

His life is so boring, he doesn't like to go to those places of pleasure, those high-end dance halls, although he listens to music, but he doesn't want to dance with them, he likes men, or the one at the bottom, let alone an actor Well, he just went to listen to those babbling opera actors, what would he do if he really asked him to take care of them, not to mention spending money.The only bit of excitement was brought to him by Ye Shaojun.

Duan Jintang read it for a while, then closed the book, sat on the bed and thought for a while, took out a small key from the bookcase, opened the bedside table, and took out a box from it, the box was square Yes, it is very exquisite, and the things inside are also very exquisite, a thread-bound book, a jade pillar, and a jade posture designed by bionic genitals. Duan Jintang blushed when he saw this thing. Tidy up in daddy's room, in his daddy's closet.

When Duan Jintang looked at this thing, there was a little maid cleaning it, so Duan Jintang secretly took it back to his room. This thing belonged to his father, and his father was also romantic when he was young. Three, and several actors, these things belonged to his father without a doubt, logically speaking he should have thrown them away for him, but he somehow kept them.

Duan Jintang wanted to get the crystal-clear jade several times, but he hesitated again, and picked up the book, thread-bound. At first, Duan Jintang sat by the bed, and then he sat under the quilt. He was useless The jade, just put his hand under the quilt, rubbed it a few times, the movement changed from light to fast, and gradually the book fell to the ground. When his face was flushed, he murmured Shao Jun a few times, with a long nasal voice With a snort, his whole body relaxed.

Duan Jintang took out the tissue paper prepared under the pillow and wiped it for himself. There were not many of them. He could actually get by without Ye Shaojun. He just touched it by himself. The longer he touches it, the better his skills will be, and he will be able to come out soon. , Duan Jintang surrounded the quilt and thought a little worriedly, I'm not about to ejaculate prematurely, but after all, it's comfortable, so I can sleep faster and deeper, Duan Jintang is comfortable now, looking at that jade stone doesn't have much energy anymore , He locked it together with the book again, shrank lazily under the blanket, thought about the plot in the book, and fell asleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
