Chapter 146 Complaint
After Zhang Xiaohua returned to Huanxi Villa, his life returned to its original track. He thought that after he had been away from the Villa for so long, Nie Xiaoer and others would surround him and ask questions. He had already concocted a lot of questions in his heart. His lies were prevaricating, but the fact is that when people saw his return, they only expressed great surprise in their eyes, and only expressed simple greetings and concern in their mouths. They did not delve into the reasons, which made Zhang Xiaohua I was extremely depressed, feeling like my fist was hitting cotton. At the same time, I secretly admired the quality of this disciple of this great sect.
Just when Zhang Xiaohua wanted to throw away the lie and save his nose, the buzzing of a group of flies still made him lose his life. The big human-shaped flies in Huanxi Villa, headed by Ma Jing, were treated badly after Zhang Xiaohua was injured last time. Improvement, leaving their bullying, they wondered for a long time that Zhang Xiaohua had been missing for so long this time. They thought that they and Zhang Xiaohua had disappeared from the world, and they would never see each other again, but Zhang Xiaohua was gone again. How could they not be surprised when it suddenly appeared in their field of vision?
So they were buzzing in front of Zhang Xiaohua all day like bloody flies, wanting to know Zhang Xiaohua's movements in the past two months. Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to pay attention to it, but after all, she was thin-skinned and asked for a long time, so she had no choice but to He told them the nonsense he planned to use to deal with Nie Xiaoer and others. After Ma Jing and others were filled with gossip, they dispersed and ignored Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua helplessly touched herself. nose, praying secretly in my heart: "Nose, nose, don't blame me, it's not that I don't feel sorry for you, I am also forced to have no choice, and I can't help myself when I live in the world."
In the early morning of this morning, Zhang Xiaohua had no idea that she had been hit on the head by a huge pie. She was still rereading her old three chapters: practicing boxing, eating, and farming. (Halo~ It seems that these are the mainstream of fantasy now! Zhang Xiaohua accidentally became a trendy person.) Although Ou Yan has already explained that he can control his own time now and does not necessarily have to work in the fields. But after all, he is used to living in the fields, and he cannot leave the medicinal fields when he has nothing to do. Moreover, spring is about to begin, and many medicinal materials need to be weeded and watered. Zhang Xiaohua is also willing to go and help. No, While he was shoveling the grass with a small hoe, he heard someone calling his name next to him.
When he looked up, there were two people standing by the field, He Tianshu and Qiu Tong. He smiled and walked over to say hello: "Sister Qiu Tong, why are you here?"
Qiutong smiled and said: "Xiaohua, you are really busy. Didn't the lady tell you to control your own time? Why are you so busy going to the fields?"
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I grew up in the fields. It's hard to adapt to leaving now. It's better to come here and help."
Qiu Tong said: "That's good. Captain He doesn't need to be busy looking for someone else. Zhang Xiaohua, come up quickly. The lady has something to do with you and Captain He."
He Tianshu said in surprise: "Where's me? What's the matter?"
Qiu Tong smiled and said: "I don't know about this. The lady is mysterious and doesn't say anything."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Okay, I'll go up right away."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua tidied up and followed Qiu Tong and He Tianshu to the inner courtyard. Qiu Tong pointed to the door and said, "You can go alone. The lady is waiting inside. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you." .”
He Tianshu said: "Okay, go ahead and do your business. This is not our first time here."
After saying that he was about to go in with Zhang Xiaohua, Qiu Tong stopped Zhang Xiaohua again and asked: "Zhang Xiaohua, I'm going to the Lotus Escort Bureau now. Do you have anything to do or anything to say to your brother?" ?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Just tell my brother that I'm fine now. He doesn't need to worry."
Qiutong nodded in agreement and hurried out.
Zhang Xiaohua followed He Tianshu to the hall of the inner courtyard.
In the hall, Ou Yan is sitting on a chair,
I was a little anxious. When I saw them coming in, I smiled and said, "You are here, why are you so slow?"
Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "Sister Ou, I was working in the fields, so I came a little late and kept you waiting."
After hearing this, Ou Yan looked happy and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's commendable that you can work in the fields without being arrogant or impetuous. How can I blame you? Come on, you two go to a place with me. There are some Things need to be dealt with.”
Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu were surprised to see that Ou Yan didn't say anything. They looked at each other and followed Ou Yan out of the hall.
Pingyang City, Lotus Escort Bureau, in Fourth Master Wen's house, Fourth Master Wen and his nephew Yu Deyi were drinking fragrant tea and chatting about interesting things. At this time, someone hurriedly walked into the small courtyard and came to the door.
Fourth Master Wen heard the sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, it was the head escort Luo.
When Fourth Master Wen saw it was him, he couldn't help but frown, then smiled and said, "It's Mr. Luo, come in quickly."
Mr. Luo walked into the room with a smile, bowed to each other and sat down. Fourth Master Wen said: " Mr. Luo, thanks to you this time, the distance escort has gained a lot. You have worked hard. I will definitely thank you for your contribution." Keep it in your mind, and when I get the chance, I will report it to the chief escort and ask for credit for you."
Head Guard Luo stood up quickly and said with a smile: "It's nothing. These are all my responsibilities and what I should do. And it's not just the Fourth Master's teachings that are usually effective."
Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "You are the one doing the good job, Mr. Luo, when you are joking. I am just using my lips."
Luo Biao straightened his face and said seriously: "What Fourth Master Wen said is wrong. Navigating the sea depends on the helmsman. Without your teachings, wouldn't we have no direction to work hard, and no matter how hard we try, it will be a fool's errand." Maybe it will go further and further. I would like to see that your contribution far exceeds what I can expect."
Yu Deyi glanced at Fourth Master Wen and said with a smile: "Fourth Master, there is no need to be humble. What the escort leader Luo said is absolutely true. There are many soldiers and generals in the nest. Many things in this escort agency still depend on you."
After hearing this, Fourth Master Wen felt very happy. He twirled the sparse beard under his chin with his hand and smiled from ear to ear.
After the guests and hosts sat down for a while, Fourth Master Wen asked again: "What did Mr. Luo do today?"
Head escort Luo smiled, looked at Yu Deyi, and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to chat with the fourth master about some affairs of the escort agency."
When Yu Deyi saw it, he stood up quickly and said, "In that case, Fourth Master, I'll take my leave first and come back to visit another day."
But Fourth Master Wen waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Deyi, sit back for now, I have something to tell you later. Head Guard Luo, just tell me if you have anything to say. Deyi is my nephew and a member of the martial arts school." , he is considered a member of the escort agency, so you shouldn’t avoid him for some things, don’t you think?”
The escort leader Luo thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, this is all a matter that the escort agency openly knows, and Master Yu probably knows it too."
After hearing this, Yu Deyi sat down again.
I heard the escort leader Luo say: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the escort trip is far away, and the New Year is celebrated outside. As time goes by, some people in the escort team who are not loyal enough to the escort agency are thinking about starting from the escort agency." The escort agency is trying to get some profit and water, and is asking me for double my monthly salary. Fourth master, do you think this makes sense? You eat and drink in the escort agency, and the long-term escort also gets subsidies. The escort agency is already very kind to you, and people cannot be ungrateful. , so I severely scolded them and gave them a scolding."
Having said this, Officer Luo paused for a moment, looked at Fourth Master Wen's face, and felt that there was no change, so he continued: "But..."
Then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "But Zhang Xiaohu, the guard of the escort team, if you asked him to be my deputy, he thought you asked him to be the deputy leader of the escort. He called him Deputy Bodyguard Zhang, and in order to win over people's hearts, he also gathered a lot of escorts and bodyguards to put pressure on me and asked me to increase their monthly salary. You said, this kind of person has no overall view and only knows how to run his own small circle. Man, can he do a good job of leadership?”
Fourth Master Wen's face changed slightly, and then he said calmly: "Well, that's it. I'll talk to Zhang Xiaohu later. Let him be your deputy. The most important thing is to cooperate with your work. I guarantee To ensure the safety and success of this escort trip, his clique-like approach is definitely wrong."
Head escort Luo said with a smile: "Fourth Master Wen is still far-sighted and can see the essence of the problem. I am also thinking about the future of the escort agency. By the way, there is another problem."
Fourth Master Wen said: "It doesn't matter. If you have any questions, just ask."
Luo Biaotou once again told the story of meeting Zhang Xiaohua in the coastal town, and told Zhang Xiaohua that he asked Zhang Xiaohua to pay for room and board, and then said: "Fourth Master, you think I'm right, right?" , Zhang Xiaohu’s younger brother is not from our escort agency, why should he be allowed to take advantage of our escort agency for nothing? And yesterday I went to the accounting room of the escort agency to see it, and Zhang Xiaohu actually threw my words out of the sky. Even though he hasn't received any money from him, do you think he still regards me as his immediate boss? Does he still take it to heart that the interests of the escort agency are above all else?"
Fourth Master Wen thought for a while and said to Yu Deyi: "Deyi, go and call Zhang Xiaohu and I will ask him personally."
When the escort leader Luo heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Fourth Master, there is no need to make such a big fuss. I'm just here to chat with you."
Fourth Master Wen said to Yu Deyi: "Go and call him, don't say anything to him."
Then he turned to the head escort Luo and said: "What you said shows that you have great affection for the escort agency. We, the brothers who help the escort agency, must have the attitude of treating illnesses and saving people, and we must make things clear. If it is Zhang Xiaohu's mistake, I will definitely not protect him in the slightest."
Not long after, Zhang Xiaohu followed Yu Deyi to Fourth Master Wen's room. He was surprised to see Mr. Luo in the room. He greeted them separately and then sat on the chair near the door as he was told.
When Zhang Xiaohu sat down, Fourth Master Wen looked at him and asked: "Zhang Xiaohu, as the deputy of Chief Luo, you have worked very hard this time, and you have done a good job. However, I have two things to ask you. For a moment, you have to answer properly."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes, Fourth Master, please ask."
Fourth Master Wen nodded slightly and said, "Is there someone in this escort team who wants double the monthly money? Are you the one who made it?"
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and thought to himself: "Didn't I already tell you about this when I came back?"
When he saw escort Luo drinking tea with his head down, he suddenly realized and said: "Fourth Master Wen, it's like this. This escort trip is quite far, and they are spending the New Year in a foreign country. Everyone in the escort team is in a very moody mood." Unstable, they are all homesick for their relatives, and since it is the New Year, things there are naturally expensive and everyone spends a lot of money. Therefore, not some people, but everyone, hope that the escort agency can provide some subsidies, such as They were afraid that this matter would have no precedent and would be refuted by Mr. Luo, so they came to discuss it with me first. I think the brothers are all away from home, so it would not be easy, so they could just settle for three times the monthly payment. The escort agency should be able to consider twice the monthly payment, so I approached escort chief Luo to discuss it. At that time, escort chief Luo did not agree. He only asked me to come back and talk to you. I am not busy when I come back, so I forgot about it. If you don't tell me today, I will have failed my brothers."
When Fourth Master Wen heard what Zhang Xiaohu said, he smiled and said: "It's really hard for the brothers of the escort team to travel far away. This kind of request is reasonable and human. I can understand it, but for this matter, we still have to ask the escort agency The senior management will come to discuss this, but I can’t express my position right now. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in the future.”
Both Luo Biaotou and Zhang Xiaohu nodded, but their nods were the same, so their inner thoughts couldn't be the same!
Fourth Master Wen nodded with satisfaction, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Also, Zhang Xiaohu, I also listened to what Luo Biaotou said about your brother's trip. He suggested that your brother pay some nominal fees. You What’s your opinion?”
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and said strangely: "Well, at that time, escort leader Luo wanted my brother to pay for room and board, but I thought that my brother should be able to squeeze in with me, so the room and board fee should be waived. Well, it should be enough to just pay for the meal. I have already paid this fee to the gentleman accompanying the team. If the escort leader Luo feels that it is not enough and needs to pay for accommodation, I will make up for it. As a member of the escort agency, Complying with the rules of the escort agency is the basic norm that I should do."
"What? I just asked the cashier yesterday and you didn't give me anything." Luo Biaotou blurted out.
Fourth Master Wen frowned. The reason for his hesitation just now was that he didn't want to talk about Zhang Xiaohua's matter. It seemed that he was partial to Zhang Xiaohu. When he heard that Zhang Xiaohu had already paid, he immediately felt that the escort leader Luo was too unreasonable and suspected of being jealous of the virtuous and capable. However, comparing Zhang Xiaohu's actions, it was really a huge difference, and he became more and more surprised. It's pleasing to the eye, and you know a lot about a person.
So, he turned to Yu Deyi and said, "Xian Nephew Deyi, I would like to trouble you again. Go to the accounting room and call the gentleman who is accompanying the team."
Yu Deyi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Fourth Master, I'll go right away."
Not long after, the accountant who accompanied the team followed Yu Deyi to Fourth Master Wen's room. The gentleman was very surprised when he saw the people in the room. After greeting everyone, he stood next to him and asked, "I don't know, Fourth Master." Why did you call your subordinates to come over?"
Fourth Master Wen asked with a smile: "I have something to ask you for confirmation. Just say yes or no. You don't have to worry about anyone's face."
When the gentleman heard this, he looked at Luo Biaotou and Zhang Xiaohu in confusion, and nodded in reply.
Fourth Master Wen said: "Zhang Xiaohu said that he has given you his brother's room and board expenses. Is this true?"
After hearing this, the gentleman immediately understood and quickly replied: "Yes, there is such a thing."
After hearing this, Mr. Luo almost stood up in a hurry. When Fourth Master Wen saw it, he waved his hand for him to sit down, and then asked: "Then why is there no account in the accounting room?"
The gentleman smiled and said: "That's right, Fourth Master, Zhang Xiaohu put the money in my hands the morning he came back. However, there are some urgent matters at home. I have asked for leave to take care of the housework these days. Today I I was able to escape and return to the escort agency. The money has been put into the account in the morning, and Fourth Master can just send someone to check the account."
After hearing this, Mr. Luo's face turned pale, and he felt great regret. He said to himself: "If your family has something to do, it will happen. How can you just forget about this matter? It's bad luck."
After hearing this, Fourth Master Wen frowned and said, "This is your fault. How could you go home without the money from the escort agency being credited to your account?"
The gentleman kept shouting that he was wronged and said: "Fourth Master, it's not me who didn't enter the account first. I calculated the money of the escort team carefully and paid it to the accountant before going home. But this little tiger's younger brother is just a child. Every day, everything goes to the account." The food is limited, and the total calculation is only one penny. But since the accounts have to be settled, the subordinates naturally cannot let Zhang Xiaohu suffer. It would be time-consuming to calculate carefully. No, the subordinates spent the whole morning doing the calculations to figure it out clearly. I just paid the bill, and there are still dozens of copper coins left, which I haven’t returned to Zhang Xiaohu.”
After saying that, he took out dozens of large coins from his arms and handed them to Zhang Xiaohu. Zhang Xiaohu was not polite and reached out to take them.
After hearing this, Fourth Master Wen's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from outside the door again. When Fourth Master Wen looked at the door, it was Qiu Tong from Huanxi Villa.
Fourth Master Wen quickly stood up, hurried to the door to greet her, and said cheerfully: "Miss Qiutong, why do you have the leisure to come to our escort agency today? You are such a rare visitor."
Qiu Tong smiled and said: "Fourth Master Wen is too polite. I am just a slave of Huanxi Villa and I don't deserve Fourth Master's welcome."
Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "Miss Qiutong is underestimating herself. Who doesn't know that in the inner courtyard of Huanxi Villa, Miss Qiutong is true to her word, and everyone except the owner of the village obeys her orders?"
Qiu Tong said: "This is just the kindness of the village owner, it cannot be taken seriously."
Later, Fourth Master Wen invited Qiu Tongyan into the house.
Qiu Tong walked into the house and saw many people in the house. He couldn't help frowning and said: "The Fourth Master is dealing with something? How about I come back later?"
Fourth Master Wen smiled and said, "It's okay, we're done. Miss, please sit down first, and I'll send them away first."
After hearing this, Qiu Tong was not polite and looked around at everyone. When he saw Zhang Xiaohu sitting there, his eyes lit up, and then he found a chair at the top and sat down.
When Fourth Master Wen saw Qiu Tong sitting down, he said to everyone: "The matter of room and board expenses has been cleared up. I have other matters here. You can go back first. I will come back to you later."
After everyone heard this, they were about to get up and say goodbye.
Then I heard Qiutong shout: "Everyone, please stay."
