Chapter 415 Will
Although these shopkeepers knew that this matter was just a formality, they still told Wu Yi about their own store's profit and loss for the past month, which involved their image in Wu Yi's mind in the future.
Sun Quan sometimes nodded, sometimes remained silent, and sometimes seemed to be thinking. After all, he had been in charge of the family for many years and was familiar with these things. He heard some flaws, but if he spent time on these things today, he would have no time later, so he did not pursue them too much.
After these people reported the profit and loss, it was already noon. Sun Quan invited everyone to come to the backyard to share lunch. There were several stone tables here, all of which were blue-black, with smooth polished surfaces like mirrors and as warm as jade.
Wu Yi followed Sun Quan closely, waited for him to sit down, and stood by his side. These shopkeepers found places to sit down. There were also differences in status among them. It was not difficult to see that the closer they were to Sun Quan, the higher their status.
More than ten maids in colorful clothes fluttered among the crowd like butterflies, bringing up vegetables, fruits, hot dishes and tableware, and the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras in the back also responded, quiet and comfortable, with a sense of mountain and wildness.
After a round of dishes, Sun Quan stopped his chopsticks and sighed. Everyone knew that the business was about to start, and they put down their chopsticks almost at the same time, neatly as if they had been trained. They were worthy of being people who had experienced many years in the business world. In terms of emotional intelligence, many disciples in Yiqimen were simply far behind.
Sun Quan said: "I have been the leader of the Sun family for sixty years. When my father handed the position to me, he repeatedly told me to pass on the incense and make the Sun family prosperous, but I didn't expect Yi'er to -, alas."
Yi'er, Sun Luoyi, Sun Zhiyan's father, the Sun family member who was killed by evil spirits while escorting soul coins, the position of the head of the family should have belonged to him, and no one could snatch it away.
"The head of the family, please accept my condolences." Everyone bowed together, and several people couldn't help but shed tears. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was very suitable for the timing.
Wu Yi, the son of appearance, couldn't help but express his feelings. He choked up and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Sun Quan paved the way for him, so why not cry a little?
The crying gradually subsided, and one person suddenly stood up and said: "Although the young head of the family unfortunately died away from home, we still have the young master."
Wu Yi didn't know if this person was arranged by Sun Quan. It's rare to be a dragon, and there will always be opportunists who do it, but in the current situation of the Sun family, the first bird to come out will be shot. If one of the three becomes the head of the family, he will be in trouble.
There were responses in twos and threes. Sure enough, the people present still had doubts. Wu Yi frowned, and Sun Quan's face was not good. Do these people still want to be fence-sitters?
"Da, da, da..." The sudden sound of wooden clogs hitting the ground broke the awkwardness of the scene. A man with two mustaches and a square face walked in without saying anything.
"What's going on? It turns out that there is a banquet here. The head of the Sun family didn't invite Yue to drink a cup, but it makes me sad." This person waved a folding fan, pretending to be elegant, passing all the shopkeepers along the way, and came to Sun Quan. He didn't know the difference at all, pretending to be familiar.
The surname Yue is the surname of the New Moon Country. This person who calls himself Yue is from the royal family. His name is Yue Lingxing. He usually flirts with women and causes a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the protection of this surname, I don't know when I would see him in the pile of corpses in the wilderness.
Although he doesn't do any serious work, he is still the nominal butler, that is, the person that Sun Zhiyan used to hate. Because he is responsible for the communication with the royal family, he can't offend him. Yue Lu is no less than Sun Zhiyan.
Yue Lingxing held his head high, arrogant, thinking that Sun Quan would still be humble to him as before, but Sun Quan just said, "So it's Butler Yue, the dishes are still hot, hurry up and add a stool." He didn't even get up, and his attitude was completely different from before.
Sun Quan naturally turned a blind eye to Yue Lingxing's previous petty gains, but now he was interfering in the succession of the Sun family. Although he was of noble status, it was just an empty title, eating and waiting to die. If he wanted to touch the big tree of the Sun family, he didn't have the qualifications. He didn't directly kick him out, which was Sun Quan giving him face.
Yue Lingxing raised his orchid finger, but he didn't expect to be treated like this. It was like he had a stutter, and he kept talking.
A foundation-building person with accumulated resources dared to point fingers at Jindan Zhenren. Sun Quan snorted coldly, and Yue Lingxing was like being hit by a heavy hammer. He was depressed for a while. Years of debauchery had already hollowed out his body, and he actually sat on the ground.
The shopkeepers were all shrewd people. They looked at their noses, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts, as if they saw nothing.
"Butler Yue is tired, you send him down to rest." Sun Quan instructed the maid beside him calmly.
Yue Lingxing stood up and shouted: "Sun Quan, you——"
"Cough." Before Yue Lingxing said something unpleasant, Sun Quan coughed. This cough was not just a simple warning. It contained a breath of energy. Yue Lingxing spit out a mouthful of blood, his hair was messy, and his breath suddenly weakened, almost costing him his life.
The shopkeepers were shocked. In order to support the new patriarch to take the position, the old patriarch actually used Yue Lingxing, who was of noble status, as a chicken? Then, who are the monkeys? Is it just them?
Suddenly, there was a hurried step outside, and a figure entered the inner courtyard. It was Sun Qingyuan. When she saw such a scene, she was also surprised and said: "Why is father so angry?"
She stepped forward quickly and helped Yue Lingxing up with good intentions, but Yue Lingxing, who was always flattered, did not appreciate this. She shook off Sun Qingyuan, looked at Sun Quan with hatred, and turned away.
Sun Quan did not give the venomous snake a chance to bite back, and announced: "The head butler Yue Lingxing has no moral integrity and bad conduct, and is not qualified to be a butler anymore. He is now dismissed from the position of butler and sent back to the capital."
"What!" Sun Qingyuan shouted directly regardless of the public, and even Wu Yi was stunned. Sun Quan's will was quite firm.
Sun Quan did not intend to explain, and directly announced the next order, "The journey is long and wide, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, there are mountain spirits and ghosts, Yuan'er, you protect him for a while."
Sun Qingyuan seemed to be stepped on by the tail. Sun Quan was clearly trying to get her out of the way and clear the obstacles for Wu Yi to take the position. She directly refused: "I don't agree. Yue Lingxing is a member of the royal family. Although he has a minor fault, he will not be dismissed from his position."
As he said, Dansha spread out, directly rolled up Yue Lingxing's body and smashed in front of Sun Quan. As for Yue Lingxing's face that was distorted due to broken bones, Sun Qingyuan subconsciously ignored it.
