Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 400 Listen attentively

The singing voice was faint and blew across Chen Sanlang's heart. He frowned and listened attentively, but the voice was vague and ethereal.

I subconsciously raised my hands, bent my palms into a trumpet shape and covered my ears, and stretched my neck towards the imaginary source of the sound. Even my breathing slowed down unconsciously, trying to search for the voice in my heart in the air.

The shopkeeper of Tai Sheng was standing behind Chen Sanlang in his outer robe. He originally wanted to remind him to rest as soon as possible as the dew was getting heavier, but when he saw the man's expression, he shut up and watched Chen Sanlang slowly humming.

The voice was so long that it was difficult to hear clearly. The shopkeeper gently put the cloak on Mr. Chen, who was looking up at the sky and singing in the cold night. He shook his head and wanted to go back into the house.

Chen Sanlang turned around suddenly, and both of them were startled. They turned around hurriedly and took a step back. When they saw clearly that it was the shopkeeper Tai Sheng in front of them, Chen Sanlang patted his chest in fear.

"Mr. Chen, it's me, it's me, are you okay?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked under the moon again, saying to himself:

"I'm sorry, I saw that you were so absorbed in your thoughts that I didn't dare to speak. I just put a coat on you and wanted to go back."

Chen Sanlang's heartbeat calmed down a little, and he waved his hand and said:

"I don't blame you. I was just obsessed with the night sky and the stars and was obsessed with it."

"Stars? Are you looking at the stars?"

The shopkeeper asked helplessly, not understanding why these scholars had such strange preferences, but he could not comment on it, so he just said:

"It's cold in the north at night, let's go inside! We can talk inside..."

The two men entered the house politely, but the shopkeeper Tai Sheng felt that when he approached Mr. Chen, he heard him seem to be singing something Star!

But he didn't care too much about it. It just left a subconscious impression that someone was freezing in the patio watching the stars!

The two chatted casually for a while and then went to sleep separately.

The next morning, Chen Sanlang took two accountants to speed up the inventory check and confirm and sign all the accounts. They were busy all day and did not even take a break at noon. After all their efforts, they finally got on the bus and left in a hurry when the sun set in the afternoon.

Chen Sanlang had no time to think about the meaning of Tai Sheng's manager's attempt to retain him and the looks from the two accountants who were traveling with him. He had already made plans to go back and start preparing for the exam as soon as possible!

They ran for more than five days, getting up early and going to bed late, and finally rushed into the city gate of Xunyang Prefecture.

After sending the two accountants home and agreeing to meet up at Tai Sheng the next day, Chen Sanlang returned to the place rented by Huo Ying.

The door was not locked yet, Chen Sanlang pushed it open and walked in, startling Huo Ying who was talking in the yard.

"You're back? When did you arrive in the city? Where have you been for so long?"

Huo Ying left a few craftsmen who were working and walked towards him. He took the small package from Chen Sanlang and walked towards the door together.

"Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

As the two of them were talking, they passed by a few carpenters who saluted Chen Sanlang. Chen Sanlang simply nodded in response, crossed the yard, and strode into the room.

He invited Huo Ying into the room and then closed the door.

After a while, Huo Ying's roar was heard:

"What? No! You were the one who proposed opening the Four Brothers Wood Furniture Store, but now you're not going to do it anymore, leaving us behind. Do you think you're being loyal by doing this?"

"No, brother, what happened to you? Tell me!"

"Hurry up and tell me! I'm so worried!"

Then there was a bang and the door was kicked open.

"I'm suffocating, I need to take a breath!"

Chen Sanlang walked out awkwardly with a faint smile on his face, stretched out his hand to hold Huo Ying, and gently persuaded him to go back into the house, and gently closed the door.

Several carpenters in the yard looked at each other, lit up the oil lamps in the yard, and speeded up the work.

The two were the bosses, and the carpenters did not dare to interrupt. The work was urgent and the wages were very good, so they went back to work.

The room was getting darker and darker. Chen Sanlang stood up and lit the oil lamp. The dim light illuminated Huo Ying's angry face.

Chen Sanlang prepared a draft in his mind, took a deep breath, and began to persuade in a gentle voice.

"Brother, how about this? I won't quit, but I want to take part in the next provincial examination. The provincial school will start classes in a few days. I want to live on campus, so I can't help you on weekdays. It's the same as quitting..."

"You're talking nonsense! It's different! You quitting means you don't want to be with us anymore. If you just want to study for the exam, then there's nothing to say. Just go study and you can come back from the ten-day holiday and work with me. Isn't that great?

Brother, I have never spoken to anyone in a humble manner. I beg you this time. Please don’t refuse. We are a bunch of illiterate people. We really can’t do it without anyone with knowledge!

I promise that you can go to school, and I promise that I will give you the same 20 shares, absolutely no less..."

"Brother, that's what I was going to say.

Big brother, from now on, you don’t need to give me money for projects I didn’t participate in. If I did the design, just give me the design share. You don’t need to give me 20 shares. Just give me 5 shares. I calculated and it’s enough for me to study!”

"What are you talking about? It was your idea to open our woodworking shop. Later, you gave us advice and drew the blueprints for making money. Now that we have established ourselves, how can I treat you unfairly?"

Huo Ying tapped the table vigorously while speaking, causing the teacups to jingle.

"From buying wood on credit to opening the first shop in Xunnan, and then doing these jobs in Xunyang City, the inn, the restaurant and the bookstore, without you, we would not be able to negotiate these jobs, and we don't know how to do it!

Brother, if you recognize me as your big brother, don't quit, just follow us and do it together! As for the division of money, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own ideas!"

Chen Sanlang walked to the window, looked at the carpenter who was polishing tables and chairs in the yard, and said sincerely:

"Brother, even if I'm not here, you can still expand the business with your ability..."

Huo Ying slammed the table impatiently and interrupted Chen Sanlang.

"I'm annoyed by you sour-minded people. You don't speak directly but beat around the bush. I want to ask you, have you found another way to make a living? Do you want to abandon us brothers in the middle of the road? Do you think so or not?"

Chen Sanlang laughed angrily and shook his head, "Brother, where did you get this from?"

"Since there is none, I have the final say! You read your books, and I make my money, and I guarantee that you will have enough money to study!

Okay, it's settled. I'll see you off when you enter the mansion in a few days."

After Huo Ying finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the room, as if he was afraid that Chen Sanlang would change his mind if he was a step late. He left the room without looking back. Chen Sanlang smiled knowingly.

The flame of the oil lamp flickered, and Chen Sanlang's eyes became hot. He felt lucky to have such a sincere friend in his life!

Outside the window, Huo Ying and the carpenters were still working hard. Amid the flying sawdust, Huo Ying pointed with his one arm...
