Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan also started crying, she really couldn't bear to part with such a good friend.

Yuan Jie had followed her all the way out of Zhongyuan City. They had experienced too many hardships during that time. Now that her condition was a little better and she had finally made a name for herself, Yuan Jie wanted to leave her.

The pain of separation is indeed worth shedding tears.

After crying for a while, Gu Chan comforted Yuan Jie. Then she reached out to wipe away her tears and directly pulled Zuo Yun to the side.

Zuo Yun said impatiently, "What are you doing? I've made it clear, you should just let me go!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Gu Chan didn't say anything and punched him violently.

Zuo Yun was beaten so hard that he huddled on the ground, holding his head with his hands, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

Yuan Jie wanted to stop him, but Wei Xing stopped her.

After Gu Chan lost her temper, she pulled Zuo Yun up from the ground, glared at him and said coldly, "Listen to me carefully. If you dare to treat Yuan Jie badly in the future, I will destroy you."

"Brother, there's no need to be like this! I'm still a very responsible man!" Zuo Yun said with a sad face.

"Stop talking nonsense, you bastard. You've lived here for more than half a month, eating my food and living my house, and now you've even kidnapped my beloved subordinates. I get so angry just thinking about it that beating you up would be the least of my worries." Gu Chan said with a stiff face.

Zuo Yun said with a smile, "Come on, calm down. I'm not going to take her around. This time I plan to take her back to Kyoto to get married. Then she can enter the General's Mansion in Kyoto and become my wife. Isn't that better than staying here with you as a deputy general manager?"

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Don't think I don't know your cunning thoughts. Aren't you just trying to get more detailed information about me from her?" Gu Chan said coldly.

"Tsk! The Crown Prince has already found out everything about your little thing. And let me tell you, the reason why my father admitted defeat was not because you are so powerful, but because he indeed saw that you are better than the Second Prince and can make the people in Jiangnan live a good life. That's why he just went through the motions and then found a reason to take the team back." Zuo Yun exposed the matter.

Gu Chan's hands, which were grabbing his collar, finally slowly loosened their grip.

In fact, she did not hate Zuo Wangfeng, nor did she have any hostility towards Zuo Yun. The fact that the father and son could make such a decision now was a recognition of her strength from the bottom of their hearts.

Overall, she should thank both father and son.

Zuo Yun muttered unhappily, "I helped you, and you didn't thank me, and you beat me up like this. That's pointless."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go! Take good care of Yuan Jie on the way, or I will catch up with you on my Tiger Eagle and beat you up." Gu Chan threatened viciously.

Zuo Yun laughed out loud because of her teasing.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything more. Zuo Yun immediately got on the carriage and said goodbye to Yuan Jie and left.

Gu Chan and others stood at the gate of the lord's mansion. They watched the carriage disappear into the night ahead before returning to the mansion.

Wei Xing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up!"

"It's good this way. Sister Yuan Jie will finally have a place to belong in the future. Besides, when she goes to Kyoto and enters the General's Mansion, she can become the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, which is indeed better than being a deputy general manager here." Ren Nanshan said with a smile.

Gu Chan didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, so she said, "You two should discuss between Xue Lihua and Cheng Yu, who should be transferred to replace Yuan Jie. Once you have come to an agreement, tell me tomorrow morning and I will send someone to bring her over."

"Yes, Lord." Wei Xing and Ren Nanshan responded in unison.

Gu Chan calmed down and went back to the study room at the back to continue working on the things she was doing.

Early the next morning.

While Gu Chan was having breakfast in the lobby of the front yard, Wei Xing came over and sat opposite her and said, "We have discussed that with their personalities, they are not suitable to be deputy managers here, so let them continue to run Yingchun Tower."

"Then you must have a deputy general manager! Otherwise, how can you, a grown man, manage these maids?" said Gu Chan.

"We have thought about this. Aren't the top three in the Jiangnan Poetry Festival two men and one woman? The fact that they made it into the top three proves that they have some ability. Why don't we call them over and take a look. If they are suitable, we can keep them for our own use. Wouldn't that be great?" Wei Xing said shrewdly.

Gu Chan slapped the table with her hand, "Right! Why didn't I think of that! I am in need of someone right now, and it would be a pity to leave such a talent unused."

"There's still one thing you haven't dealt with yet! The day before yesterday, Xu Ziguang came to me and urged you to do this, lest he be unable to manage the affairs of the entire Jiangnan City alone." Wei Xing reminded.

Gu Chan was stunned at first, then she reacted and said, "Are you talking about the county magistrate of Jiangnan City?"

"Yes! The position of Jiangnan City County Magistrate is still vacant! Originally, Xu Ziguang and I discussed transferring a suitable person from other places to fill the vacancy. However, because of the Crown Prince's matter, no one from Jiangnan dares to come to fill the vacancy, and people from other places don't dare to come either. We can't find a suitable candidate at all." Wei Xing explained.

Gu Chan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then immediately ordered, "Well, send someone to the Great Huaxia on the Jiangnan River to call Cheng Hao over to me, and have him hand over all matters related to the sale of medicines at Yao Duoduo's shop to the Five Golden Flowers of Jiangnan City, and don't worry about it anymore."

"Cheng Hao's personality suits him to be a military commander. You might as well send him to the Jiangnan camp. At this time, we should also make a good plan. Otherwise, if the prince makes a comeback later, our days will be difficult." Wei Xing said shrewdly.

Gu Chan thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense, so she didn't insist. "Okay, then send someone to call the top three poets and Cheng Hao to me."

"Yes, master." Wei Xing agreed and immediately stood up and left.

Gu Chan continued to enjoy her breakfast leisurely.

At noon, Cheng Hao finally arrived, but what surprised Gu Chan was that this guy did not come on foot, but was carried by two guards from the lord's mansion.

When Wei Xing entered the lobby and saw Cheng Hao lying on a stretcher, drunk as a draught, he was completely stunned. He stared at the two guards and asked, "What's going on? Why is he so drunk?"

"General Manager, we don't know either!"

"Yes! When we went to the Great China, he was already so drunk. It took us a lot of effort to get him off the merchant ship and carry him back."

The two guards complained one after another.

Wei Xing shook his head helplessly and could only order them to retreat first.

Gu Chan sat in the first seat, looking at Cheng Hao like this, feeling extremely disappointed. There was no doubt that she had probably guessed why Cheng Hao had become like this.
