The Peerless Servant

Chapter 4: Corruption found out



After a moment of silence, Su Linglong said:"I wrongly blamed you for what happened today. My Su family has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Today, you have contributed your skills, and seeing that you are quite knowledgeable about cooking, I will promote you to be the head of the kitchen, responsible for the kitchen affairs." Huo Chenan was stunned. This girl is not ordinary. She has the demeanor of a black-bellied female entrepreneur in later generations. What does it mean to contribute your skills? You are blatantly stealing my patent! And you said it so fresh and refined, highlighting a thick black. However, today I am the fish on the chopping board, and there is no patent authorization in this world. I can only swallow this loss for the time being. But I, Huo Chenan, am not so easy to take advantage of. Seeing Huo Chenan's dazed look, everyone thought he was so happy that he couldn't speak, so they all reminded him: "Why don't you thank the young lady quickly?" Huo Chenan hesitated for a moment, and slowly said: "Young lady, I am not very knowledgeable, and I am afraid I can't be competent for the position of general manager. Can I change it for a reward?" Su Linglong raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Chenan with interest. Under the light, he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade-like face, and a slender figure. Su Linglong's heart couldn't help but speed up a half beat. This guy really has a good skin. "What do you want?" "I want my own indenture!" Huo Chenan said slowly. Everyone around him opened his eyes wide. Is this 9527 crazy? He has food and drink in the Su Mansion, and he also has a monthly salary. This person must be crazy to want his own indenture. How many people who can't eat are scrambling to get into the Su family as servants. You know, in this world where people rely on the sky for food, the most abundant thing is refugees. "Why?" Su Linglong asked in confusion. Huo Chenan put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and looked as if he was saying: Get up, I'm going to start pretending! "Life is precious, love is more precious, if it's for freedom, both can be thrown away." Huo Chenan quoted a poem by the Hungarian poet Petofi, just to show that freedom is priceless. But when he looked at the expressions of the people around him who didn't understand what he heard, he knew that he was pretending. However, Su Linglong had read books, and she savored these two lines of poetry, and the more she savored them, the more she felt that they were interesting. Although it sounded quite colloquial, the emotions were progressive, and it also explained the value of life, love, and freedom, which made her suddenly feel that Huo Chenan's image had become a little taller. "Have you read books?" she asked curiously. "When I was young, I attended a few classes outside the private school." Huo Chenan said nonsense casually. Su Linglong nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you three months to think about it. You'll still be the kitchen manager for these three months. If you still want to leave after three months, I'll let you go." Everyone was shocked again. This 9527 was going crazy and wanted to leave, and this young lady was also going crazy. He was about to leave and they gave him a promotion and a raise, and they didn't even ask for a ransom! It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast! The reason they think so is that they don't know the commercial value of salt production at all. As the head of the Su family, Su Linglong understands, so she thinks this deal is worth it. "Thank you, young lady." Huo Chenan bowed respectfully. ... Two flowers bloom, each with its own beautySpeaking of that little Cui girl, she was frightened by Huo Chenan's big footprints last night. Finally, she recovered under the comfort of the young lady, but at night she always felt uneasy, so she brought incense and candles to burn paper and came to the lake to worship ghosts and gods. Zhang San, who had just fallen into the lake, had been lurking in the lake for a long time, with water plants all over his body. He finally swam to the shore and climbed up, and saw Xiao Cui, who was worshipping with her eyes closed. "Xiao Cui." Zhang San called out subconsciously. Xiao Cui stopped worshipping and opened her eyes, and what came into view was a figure with water plants all over her body and dripping water. Xiao Cui rolled her eyes and fainted again. Zhang San was about to go forward to check, when he heard someone shouting. "Who is it?" He was so scared that he didn't care about Miss Xiao Cui and ran away. Since then, the Su family's lake has been shrouded in a strange haze, at least Miss Xiao Cui will never come to the lake again. Miss Xiao Cui's psychological shadow area is doubled. ... That night, Huo Chenan moved into the independent dormitory of the steward. He slept until dawn in the dormitory without smelly shoes and snoring. In the early morning, when Huo Chenan went out, he was tripped by Zhang San who was sleeping at the door. After asking, he found out that this guy didn't return to the dormitory all night after learning that he was promoted to general manager. "Chenan, you can't abandon me." Zhang San hugged Huo Chenan's thighs and wiped his snot and tears on his pants. "Stop, stop, if you have anything to say, get up and talk." Zhang San quickly got up and said: "Brother, don't forget each other when you are rich! Cleaning the toilet is really not a job for humans, please reach out and pull me out." Huo Chenan felt like reaching out to fish something out of the toilet after hearing Zhang San's words, which was indescribably awkward. "Stop, I'll go talk to Uncle Fu, whether you can succeed depends on your luck." Zhang San was grateful after hearing this. Since the misunderstanding was resolved, Uncle Fu would naturally not embarrass Zhang San, so Huo Chenan gained a younger brother. Huo Chenan brought Zhang San and soon came to the back kitchen. The first thing was to check the accounts. He was here to be the general manager, not to take the blame, so he had to know what was going on. In the end, it was just as he expected. How could there be no problems with such a lucrative job as the back kitchen? The food and rations of the Su family were countless, but the daily loss of the back kitchen accounted for 50% of the total expenditure, which meant that the same money could support twice as many people. Without further ado, I won't take the blame. Huo Chenan immediately informed Uncle Fu of the matter. Uncle Fu didn't dare to take the initiative and immediately reported it to the eldest lady. Hearing that it was 9527 again, Su Linglong couldn't help but frown. This guy was really good at making trouble, but he could actually check the accounts, which was really impressive. Then Su Linglong rushed to the back kitchen in a hurry. "I already know the matter. What else do you have to say?" Su Linglong said to the chefs standing in a row. "Miss, you can't just listen to one side. Can this pretty boy cook? Does he know what fire consumption is? There are so many people in our Su Mansion, so the fire consumption will naturally be higher." A fat man in the lead said. The flesh on his face trembled while he spoke, looking ferocious. Su Linglong turned and looked at Huo Chenan who was calm and composed, meaning that it was your turn. "Does my ability to cook prove that my calculations are correct?" Huo Chenan said lightly. Everyone was stunned. This brother's thinking was really strange. Everyone was discussing money issues, who cares if you can cook. In fact, Huo Chenan had his own ideas. If he talked about fire consumption with the cook, he would be inferior in authority. Even if he refuted him, he could find rogue excuses such as "people are different". He chose to solve him directly at the root and defeat him in the field he was best at.
