Chapter 82 Atonement or Sacrifice to Heaven (2 updates and two chapters combined into one)
The next day Chen Nong came to work at Si Ye’s house with a more obvious black circle, and was struck by the task list placed on the desk, and I was confused about the position of editor-in-chief of the bureau.
Didn’t he just come here to write an article? Why did he become the immediate boss of the entire Si Ye Clerical Department?
This promotion can no longer be described as skipping a grade, but as a step to the top.
He looked at the Master with fear and fear, "Shouldn't this position belong to you, Master?"
The master said: "I work part-time, and I will go to a government school to teach in the future. How can I have the skills."
"But..." Chen Nong wanted to say that he had no such experience at all.
The master patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "No one else can ask for this opportunity."
Chen Nong was determined and looked down at the scholar at the desk. Sure enough, he saw To several pairs of envious and jealous eyes.
Chen Nong understood, and he admitted it as soon as he gritted his teeth. He knew in his heart that he had to bear this burden, and he had to bear it steadily. Otherwise, everything he did yesterday will be in vain, and everything he gained will be lost.
With the decision made, Chen Nong was full of fighting spirit, but when he really got into work, he realized how much trouble there was. One morning made this man who was so excited last night and didn't sleep well look even more depressed.
The only person he could complain to was Fuzi Hu. He mentioned to him the various problems in the early design, distribution and writing of Night Travel News, and concluded that the biggest problem was the need to spend money.
Is Si Yefu rich?
This question was asked a week ago. Anyone who asked Si Ye’s family would get the same answer: poor! So poor!
Ask this question again now, but the disciples of Si Ye Mansion cannot answer it well.
The supplies are definitely far greater than before, but real money and silver... still can't be taken out much.
Anyway, the upfront investment to set up a new department is definitely not enough.
If Chen Nong wanted money, he had to apply to the accountant of Siye Mansion, and the accountant had to ask the person in charge of Siye Mansion.
Now everyone knows who is in charge of Si Ye Mansion, but it involves real money. Mr. Accountant, just in case, went to ask Mi August what he meant, and also passed the news to Shen Li.
The accountant thought that his behavior was secretive, but he didn't know that Shen Li's movements were all under the control of Mi August.
She didn't mind the accountant's behavior of running away from both sides, and the other party did exactly what Mi August wanted him to do.
A whole box of real gold and silver was carried out from the old house, paid to the accountant, and then sent to the clerk's room.
Fu'an, who was in charge of delivering the money, said to Chen Nong: "Master Mi said, Mr. Chen can just let it go and take care of the money."
When the box was opened, Chen Nong was also once rich. People who have passed it are just After a brief surprise, he calmed down, took a deep breath and said to Fu'an: "Reply to Sir Mi for me. Chen Ziwei will definitely live up to your trust."
Fu'an nodded and saluted him politely. Just left.
Nowadays, no one in Si Ye's house knows that Chen Nong has risen to the sky in one step. He has fallen into the eyes of Master Mi and has become another famous person after the young master.
Take young Master Feixue as an example. Mr. Chen, who is now inconspicuous, may become famous in the future, so he must be treated with caution.
The news that Mi August spent a lot of money and gave gold and silver directly to Chen Nong soon spread within Si Ye Mansion.
"Where did she get the money?" Liu Jinbao said, "When I bought the car and moved in, I said I had no money to pay the bill."
Both Shen Li and Liu Zhaocai were in a state of confusion, and no one responded to his words.
Liu Jinbao looked at the two of them, especially Liu Zhaocai, "Brother, you have something on your mind."
Hearing this, Shen Li also turned his head in the direction of Liu Zhaocai.
Liu Zhaocai struggled for a moment and said: "Director, in fact, the whisper has been no longer on my body since the night before."
"What!" Liu Jinbao stepped forward and asked anxiously but was interrupted. Liu Zhaocai stopped him with his eyes.
Liu Jinbao looked at him and calmed down. Seeing Shen Li's expression as usual, he understood that the two of them were hiding something from him. When he thought that his two closest relatives had secrets hidden from him, Liu Zhaocai clenched his hands under his sleeves, "What's going on?"
Liu Zhaocai first confessed to Shen Li, "What the director said to Mr. Mi that day was actually overheard by me in a whisper." Then he turned to Liu Jinbao, who looked forbearing, and said, "You think we deliberately deceive you, but you don't know Director He Mi Your Excellency has a promise to disarm the magic weapon and save lives. The director was tortured by the out-of-control magic weapon before, but he asked Mr. Mi to transfer this promise to me."
Liu Jinbao was stunned and looked at his eyes covered with cloth. Shen Li.
Liu Zhaocai said: "Master Mi has great righteousness. He not only saved the director from the crisis, but also agreed to the director's request."
Liu Jinbao whispered, "Maybe she is trying to use a trick. "
Liu Zhaocai said: "Whether she was greedy or not, she can't change the fact that she saved the director and fulfilled the director's request. "
Liu Jinbao was silent for a while, "That's what the director asked us that day." He paused again and then said, "What will we do next?"
Liu Zhaocai looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li said: "Go and invite... No, I, an idler, should go there myself."
......
Mi August got the news Putting down what he was doing, he told the spirit, "Have someone call Shen Lang over."
Before anyone came, she took out the [Artifact: Hundred Eyes] that had been kept in confinement since it was included in the Book of Good and Evil.
"Continue to be imprisoned, work for me to atone for your sins, and sacrifice to heaven." Mi August said: "Choose one."
The fluffy sphere trembled.
Mi August: "Open your eyes, choose one and blink once, choose two and blink twice."
Before she could say three, an eye cracked in the wool ball, Blink twice quickly.
Mi August's tone became gentle, "You are not my believer, so you may not listen to all my words. But as a sinful creature, you will be a sinner during the atonement period, and I will not give you a second chance."
Mao Xu trembled.
The reminder sounded from the spirit of the house, "Shen Lang and Shen Li have arrived at the gate."
Mi August nodded, picked up the wool ball, "We will start working today, and prepare for the new arrival. Customer Service.”
…
Shen Lang and Shen Li came one after another but did not touch him.
The reason is that Shen Lang fell into a trap when he entered. Before he could ask for help, he was standing in an inner room.
There is a black stuffed ball on the table in the room, and the voice of the housekeeper of the old house that I have heard many times recently rang in the room, "Anjing is waiting here."
Shen Lang did not dare to disobey , stood in place obediently.
Soon he saw that the center of the furry ball suddenly cracked, and then closed again, as if it could breathe and was deliberately attracting his attention.
Shen Lang was curious but still didn't move.
Baiyan:...
He was so anxious that he was furious.
At this time, Shen Lang heard the director's voice coming from outside.
“Master Mi.”
"Director."
"...I'm here to say goodbye to Master Mi." Shen Lang's face changed drastically and he walked quickly to the door.
He reached out and pushed the door, but it didn’t move.
Shen Lang remembered that this house was extraordinary, and no matter what he did, it would be in vain.
The voice from outside still came clearly, and he was mentioned in the topic.
Outside room.
Mi August did not talk tactfully to Shen Li, "The director's current body is indeed not suitable for carrying the magic weapon anymore. I have chosen a new successor for Bai Yan, Shen Lang."
Shen Li was stunned, "The meaning of this successor..."
Mi August said: "The director of Baiyan knows the effect very well, and it will also make it easier for Shen Lang to manage Siye Mansion in the future."
This time Shen Li really didn't understand. He said bluntly: "Master Mi, don't you plan to take charge of Siye Mansion yourself?"
Mi August: "I'm not good at management."
Shen Li Feeling his face hurt, "I think Master Mi has managed Siye Mansion very well recently."
Mi August shook his head, "I I won’t stay here for a long time.”
Shen Li, who had always thought that Mi August had intentions for Si Ye’s Mansion, observed these days and felt that Si Ye’s Mansion had not deteriorated but was prospering with Mi August in it. Make up your mind to leave with peace of mind and completely free up the position for Mi August to avoid arousing Mi August's dissatisfaction and suspicion.
As a result, Mi August told him that no one of her planned to stay.
While Shen Li was absent-minded, Mi August chatted with him about the development plans behind Si Ye Mansion.
“It is not comprehensive enough to popularize strange knowledge to the people through night newspapers. I found that most of the people are illiterate. Government schools are only open to the children of the rich. Private schools are uneven and there are few children studying there. Including The disciples taken in by Si Ye Mansion are also good at martial arts and can't read most of the characters."
Shen Lang, who was one of the people who couldn't read the big characters, blushed.
Shen Li was attracted by the topic, "What do you mean, Master Mi?"
Mi August said: "I plan to open a night class and teach children for free."
"Free?" Shen Li raised his head, hating that he was blind, otherwise he really wanted to see what Mi August is now His expression said, "Master Mi is very kind, but the cost of this free school is not trivial."
Mi August said: "I will pay."
Shen Li was dumbfounded.
Mi August continued: "It is easy to find money, but it is difficult to find a convincing manager. Shen Lang has potential and reputation, but after all, he is still young."
Today, Shen Li has been given enough time to watch and think calmly. Mi August said directly: "I want to ask the director to be the manager of this night class and train Shen Lang into a qualified successor. ”
After a while, Shen Li said, "I know Master Mi doesn't need to deceive me. However," he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, his tone revealing the guilt that had accumulated in his heart these days, "I feel that I may not be able to take on this important responsibility. Our management department It was not until recently that Yefu discovered his failure. He was unable to avenge his subordinates, causing them to suffer a lot of injustice. He was not trusted by the people and did not give them peace of mind, but he did not even provide food and clothing for their children. When they mentioned it, they only wanted to have a good meal."
"Director!"
"Director..."
The Liu twins shouted in unison. , wanted to persuade but Shen Li raised his hand to stop him.
Shen Li stood up holding the table and bent down to Mi August.
"That day I was disrespectful to Sir Mi and misunderstood that your purpose was impure. I hereby solemnly apologize to you. You have great virtues and having Sir in Si Ye Mansion is a blessing rather than a curse."
He bowed three times, then said goodbye and left with the support of the Liu twins.
Shen Lang, who was in a very complicated mood inside, found that the door blocking him opened in front of him.
Before he could move, the floor under his feet moved forcefully and brought him to Mi August.
Shen Lang had a scream stuck in his throat.
Mi August said: "I heard everything clearly."
Shen Lang nodded. He had a lot of questions and thoughts that he wanted to express.
Mi August did not give him this chance.
With a move of her hand, the ball of wool inside appeared in her hand.
"Director Shen's body can no longer bear the magic weapon." This was a lie. With her threatening him, Bai Yan would not dare to cause trouble even if he entered Shen Li's body again, and Shen Li would naturally continue to use the magic weapon.
However, Mi August does not need an indecisive director, he only wants a kind and responsible people's teacher and superficial tool.
"You are the most suitable successor at present. Only when you have a magic weapon can you be considered a true night traveler and gain the ability to intimidate others."
Shen Lang said: "Senior Sister Ban and Senior Brother Liu and the others have higher qualifications than me."
"Qualification does not mean suitability." Mi August threw Baiyan to him, "The craftsman will also choose the master."
How could Shen Lang dare to let such a precious weapon fall to the ground? What if it broke. Ben Ben went to pick it up, but something strange came from his hand. The scene he saw made his expression change drastically.
The woolen ball melted into his hand and disappeared!
The next moment, his eyes felt extremely uncomfortable and tears flowed down.
How did he know that the Artifact will never show pity when it merges with ordinary people? The more painful the person is, the easier it is for it to swallow the spirit. The pain now is the result of Baiyan's careful actions due to Mi August's restraint.
“If you don’t want Director Shen to leave, go and convince him to stay now. You can use the emotion card, the responsibility card, or the bitterness trick. You all grew up under his own eyes. Children, this is also your common home. No parent can really leave until the child has the ability to be independent. He is temporarily frustrated that he has not been a good parent. This is exactly the time for you to respond to him. "
Shen Lang understood what Mi August meant and ignored the stinging eyes and left in agreement.
After he left, Mi August told the spirit, "I won't see anyone who comes to see me in the next few days. If they have anything, let them solve it by themselves, with money..."
< br>She felt that the air in the room seemed to be thinner, as if an invisible presence took a breath, sucked the air away and held it.
“Don’t worry, they don’t dare to ask for more.” Mi August said.
The house spirit who was discovered to be careful said in a steady butler's voice: "Yes, I'm relieved."
Mi August refused to expose it and went back to the laboratory to do half of the research she had put aside.
As for the future development of Si Yefu, she naturally has the right people to worry about. She has laid out the recent development blueprint, and the startup funds are in place. She can also stay behind the scenes and do her own thing.
On that day, Shen Li originally wanted to leave quietly and quietly, without stirring up a trace of dust.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lang led all the preparatory disciples to block his way and begged him to stay in unison. Their voices were all recognition of his contribution to Si Ye Mansion.
Chen Li listened to these comforting words, and heard Shen Lang's voice choked with sobs. He was frightened in his heart. He had not yet learned the common sense of using magic weapons, but he had already integrated into Baiyan - as the former user of Baiyan. , how could Shen Li, who had been tortured by Baiyan, not know the key.
He couldn't see it, so he didn't know that Shen Lang was pretending to cry through the tears caused by the discomfort caused by the new weapon. In fact, he didn't look miserable, not even one-tenth of the pain he imagined.
Under this comfort, worry and anxiety, Shen Li was left behind.
When Shen Li stayed, the Liu twins naturally stayed to take care of them.
The next day, after her emotions had cooled down, Shen Li did not regret staying. Instead, she was worried that her unfaithful words would cause Mi August to be dissatisfied, causing him to misunderstand that he was playing hard to get and was still trying to win. right.
Guess where August’s money comes from? Today is still a two-in-one chapter!
