Gu Yundong took a sip of tea. “There’s no hurry. Take your time to consider. Tell me when you’ve thought it through.”
“Oh, oh, okay.” Zhuangzi was stunned. He grabbed the rag and turned to leave.
Gu Yundong suddenly added, “By the way, during the three months you’ll be the shopkeeper, the new employee is called Chen Jincai. Take good care of him and let him get familiar with the job as soon as possible.”
Slap. The rag in Zhuangzi’s hand fell to the ground. He turned his head and looked at Gu Yundong in horror. He asked in disbelief, “Boss, who are you talking about?”
“Chen Jincai, the eldest son of the village chief.”
Zhuangzi’s footsteps were a little unsteady. The Chen Jincai who always looked up to the sky every time he saw him? The Chen family’s eldest son, whom he unconsciously bent down in front of, came over to be his assistant?
At that time, he would probably be the waiter who was ordered around, right?
No, how could he think that?
That was in the past. Now, it was the present. He was not afraid of the young masters and young ladies of the wealthy families in this county. Why would he be afraid of Chen Jincai?
He was the shopkeeper. Zhuangzi suddenly thought of himself standing by the counter with his hands clasped and asking Chen Jincai to pour tea for him. Oh my god, just thinking about it made him feel good.
Gu Yundong did not know that his heart had been in turmoil for hundreds of rounds. When she saw Zhuangzi’s expression, she could not help but ask, “Why? Is there a problem?”
“No, there’s no problem at all. I’ll teach him how to be a suitable and polite assistant. Don’t worry, I won’t let Uncle Zheng down after such a long time of training.”
He straightened his back and patted his chest.
Gu Yundong felt that his tone was a little strange, but she did not ask further. She just nodded and said, “Alright, since there’s no problem, prepare yourself in the next two days. While Uncle Zheng is still here, if you have any questions, ask as soon as possible. Learn to make accounts. Also, consider the previous question.”
“Yes, I understand, Boss. I will definitely do my best.”
Zheng Gang also reassured her. “I will slowly let go these two days and let Zhuangzi learn to be independent. By the way, I don’t know when that Chen Jincai will come.”
“Tomorrow. I’ll get him to come over tomorrow.”
As Gu Yundong spoke, she gave some instructions before leaving Gu’s.
She bought some things on the street. Seeing that it was about time, she returned to Qin Wenzheng’s school.
Her father seemed to be still talking to Qin Wenzheng. Even before Gu Yundong reached the door of the study, she could hear that hearty and happy laughter. She even heard Qin Wenzheng’s laughter. The two of them were clearly talking happily as like-minded scholars. They had probably forgotten the time, right?
She sighed slightly and simply turned around to go to the classroom where the students were studying.
This was not the first time Gu Yundong had come to see her younger brother in class. In Qin Wenzheng’s school, other than him, there was another teacher who taught books and a martial arts teacher.
These two people were not old. They were the teachers that Qin Wenzheng had personally found.
After all, he had a lot of things to do. It was impossible for him to personally teach these students at all times.
For example, right now, the teacher was teaching the students in the academy.
Gu Yundong deliberately lightened her footsteps when she went over, afraid that she would disturb their studies.
Unexpectedly, when she got closer, she didn’t hear any sound. The usually loud reading sounds seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
She was slightly stunned and could not help but speed up as she walked towards the classroom.
Yes, there were more than ten students.
