Chapter 241 Doing big things in silence
"What's going on? I heard it from far away." Hang Shuheng's voice arrived before he even arrived. As soon as he finished speaking, a man appeared from the corner of the stairs.
"Shuheng, come and take a look." Zhou Huan was in a very good mood today. He wanted to pull everyone he met to show off the jewelry in front of him.
Hang Shuheng cooperated very well and praised the products lavishly. Looking at these new products which were far superior to those in the original shop, Hang Shuheng felt proud of them and looked at Song Ning with eyes full of pride.
"Uncle, new products are out, what are your plans next?"
"This needs to be carefully considered, Shuheng, what suggestions do you have?"
Ever since the bargaining with Hang Shuheng over the profit share, Zhou Huan no longer dared to look down on him and would go to the reception room to discuss matters whenever he caught him.
Hang Shuheng was a little speechless. Whose business was this? How could he discuss business planning with him? The two of them stayed in the living room for the whole morning. When they came out, Zhou Huan's smile was even bigger than before.
Song Ning knew from the expressions of the two that they must have come up with some good plan, but she didn't know whether this former big CEO had charged a consulting fee. You know, in the past, if you wanted to invite such a big CEO to attend a business event, you had to pay an appearance fee.
Zhou Huan ordered people to prepare wine and food, and invited the family of three to stay for dinner. At the dinner table, Zhou Huan still wanted to continue discussing business, but Hang Shuheng kept silent and said bluntly: Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping.
After lunch, Hang Shuheng asked Zhou Huan about the person that Manager Gong of the dental clinic had mentioned before. He thought that Zhou Huan was also from the capital and might know something.
"Uncle Zhou, I want to ask you about someone." He carefully repeated the information he got from Manager Gong, "Does Zhou Huan know this person?"
After listening to this, Zhou Huan pondered for a moment and said, "You should be talking about that Lord Jiang."
"So, Uncle Zhou, you know this person?"
"No." Zhou Huan shook his head. "I don't know that person, but I heard about some of his deeds when I was young in the capital."
"When the late emperor was in power, he valued people with skills among the people. I heard that Lord Jiang was originally a carpenter. Because of his excellent skills, he created many crafts that benefited the country and the people. Later, he was promoted by the local government to a minor official."
"At that time, the war on the border was tense and the battle was prolonged. Lord Jiang led his men to make a spiral arrowhead, which was several times more lethal than ordinary arrowheads. Our army adopted this arrowhead and caused considerable damage to the enemy. Our army won a great victory. Afterwards, Lord Jiang was summoned back to the capital by the late emperor for his meritorious service and entered the Ministry of Works."
"As for why Lord Jiang left the court after the previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, it is unknown. People have many speculations, some true and some false, no one knows."
"Oh, by the way, it seems that Lord Jiang's ancestral home is in our Pingyang County. So, are you planning to invite him to come out of retirement?"
Hang Shuheng nodded in acknowledgment, and told Zhou Huan about his plan to open a workshop, and also said that he planned to find some experienced craftsmen to support the business.
"Uncle Zhou thinks this person might be useful?"
Zhou Huan did not reply immediately, but only said: "Please allow me to send someone to inquire about it. If there is any news, I will have someone send you a message."
Hang Shuheng was silent for a moment and said, "Uncle, forget it. This is too troublesome. He is not necessary. I have asked Manager Gong to keep an eye on it. If this one doesn't work out, we can just look for another one." Hang Shuheng felt that it was not worth it to conduct a special investigation for a person with an unknown background.
"That works."
Zhou Huan agreed verbally, but later he still asked Zhou Yin to pass a message to the capital to ask his master's opinion. The reply he received was: it is available.
Of course, this is a story for later. At this time, Hang Shuheng did not know Zhou Huan's plan.
The family of three left Zhou's house and returned to their own house. When they saw those young men, Song Ning realized that Hang Shuheng had actually done such a big thing in silence during this half morning.
There are more and more servants, and buying people seems to be addictive. Song Ning can't help but feel that they are becoming more and more like landlords.
"Sir, Madam, Young Master, have you eaten yet? How about I go to the kitchen and get you something to eat?"
"Don't worry, we've already eaten." Song Ning stopped her from going to the kitchen to prepare food, walked towards the inner courtyard, and asked casually: "How is Chen Er's injury?" It has only been a few days, it shouldn't heal so quickly.
Xu had been following him all the time. "Mrs. Xie was worried and called a doctor to see him. He is much better now."
"Let him rest and recover from his injury. When he recovers, there will be something to do." Hang Shuheng ordered, "Go and gather those young men to the main room to meet the lady."
I just took a quick look when I entered the room just now, and I must come and formally pay my respects to the master.
As soon as they sat down in the main room, Chen Xiaobao tactfully made tea and brought it to them. Although he was not very old, he was very steady in serving the tea.
Song Ning quickly took the tray from him, fearing that he might accidentally trip. It would be no joke if the hot tea spilled on someone, especially since the child's skin was tender.
"Xiaobao, you are still young. Hot water is very dangerous. Stay away from these dangerous things in the future, okay?"
Before Song Ning finished speaking, Yang Yang continued, "Being scalded by boiling water will be very painful, and it will cause blisters and leave scars."
"Okay! I understand." Chen Xiaobao nodded heavily.
He had done these things many times in the village before and had been scalded by the hot water many times, which made him tough.
It was the same when he was working in the dental clinic. He did a lot of work like serving tea and pouring water, but no one ever told him that hot water was dangerous and that it would be painful if he was scalded by it.
In the past, he had to work every day to avoid going hungry. Since coming here, he has been playing more than working. Sometimes he almost thinks he is a little master.
Soon, Xu came in with several young men. The young men were very considerate and knelt down as soon as they entered the door, "Greetings, Sir, Madam, and Young Master."
Song Ning still felt a little unhappy when she saw others kneeling down to her, but now she had figured it out. Since this was the rule of this era, she should not always break the rules and make the people below tremble with fear.
Chen Laoer's family is an example. When they were not allowed to kneel, they became even more uneasy. When they were asked to eat at the same table, they lost their appetite.
Later, after Zhou Ru's advice, Song Ning finally figured it out.
A servant is a servant, and a master is a master. If there is no distinction between servants and masters, wouldn't it be chaos? Rules are rules and they cannot be broken.
