Chapter 154: Deep Insights

The water is boiling, and I wrap the wontons, enough for two people, and put them into the water. After a while, I stir them a little with a spatula. When the white dough floats up, I put them in a bowl of hot and seasoned soup and sprinkle some green onions on them. Hmm, it looks quite appetizing.

Chen Shiyi handed the cleaned soup spoon to Pei Luoshu.

“Eat it while it’s hot.”

Pei Luoshu asked while eating.

"What's wrong with you? Your eyes are like a rabbit, red..."

Chen Shiyi thought of Fu Xuwen and sighed heavily.

She told Pei Luoshu everything in detail.

"Ah Luo, I feel very uncomfortable and don't know what to do."

Pei Luoshu had never seen Chen Shiyi like this before, and felt very distressed.

"Eleven, I have never encountered such a thing, so I don't know how to comfort you, but I can be a bystander and tell you my own opinion. Can you listen to it?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"You talk, I listen."

"I have come across many cases in Yougu County. When a woman is like Wanyi, she is either beaten to death by her husband or executed by the tribe in the village. And I cannot intervene in the latter. I think that having a child with pure blood is the minimum dignity and face for a man. Wanyi's child may not be able to be kept. However, Xuwen insisted on doing this, even at the cost of offending you, I guess..."

Chen Shiyi was puzzled.

"Why don't you continue? What are you looking at me for?"

Pei Luoshu said seriously.

"I guess he just wanted to irritate you and have a falling out with you."

Chen Shiyi was stunned.

"I have met Xuwen. He manages things in an orderly manner and is smooth in dealing with people. Wanyi treats him as a prey and wants to cheat him of his money. It is better to say that Xuwen voluntarily took the bait and became the prey, and then did what he wanted to do."

Chen Shiyi never thought about it in this way.

"Go on."

"Think about it, he has been with you for so many years, what does he want to get from you?"

Chen Shiyi raised his eyes with a flash of confusion.

"money?"

"He was born a beggar and has suffered too much oppression and insults. How will he feel if he turns over one day? He will want to keep power and money firmly in his own hands and never let go. Maybe, he will take advantage of your kindness in taking him in and respect you very much. But he established the information channels of Jingdu and even several major prefectures in Daye. Jingdu, Huaizhou, Luzhou, Anzhou, which tea house was not run by him. Eleven, you gave him too much power. When power is great, it will breed ambition, especially the ambition of men."

Chen Shiyi stirred the wontons in the bowl and found that he had no appetite at all.

"I never thought he would do this, but since he values ​​money so much, why would he be willing to spend a lot of money to buy jewelry and fancy clothes for Wan Yi?"

"If not, how can he use Wan Yi's greed to anger you and achieve his goal? Besides, these gold and silver ornaments can be exchanged for silver later, so he won't suffer any loss."

Chen Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"If he wants money, he should tell me directly. I may not..."

"What he wants is not the small amount of money you gave him as a reward, but perhaps your entire tea industry line..."

"If he wants it, how can I give it to him?"

Pei Luo said solemnly.

"Not necessarily. Have you forgotten that besides Fu Xuwen, you have so many subordinates. They are all watching here, watching how you handle this matter. If you are really so heartless, how many people can still follow you and work for you loyally? If you really give everything to him, then the people below will think you are easy to talk to and do things perfunctorily according to your orders. Then how can you run Qinyun Restaurant and the huge tea industry?"

Chen Shiyi fell silent.

Pei Luoshu had finished the wontons in his bowl, put down his spoon, crossed his hands, and spoke earnestly.

"Eleven, you've become too comfortable and have gradually lost your guard."

Pei Luoshu took the spoon from her hand, put it back in the bowl, and warmed her hands with his hands.

"I received a note from the Ministry of Personnel and rode a fast horse straight to you without stopping. I haven't slept the whole time. I am very sleepy now. Can you find a room where I can sleep for a while?"

Chen Shiyi was awakened from his trance after hearing this.

"Look at my brain. It's really not working. I'll make the bed for you so you can have a good sleep."

Everyone waited in the reception hall for a long time before they saw Chen Shiyi slowly walk in.

Chen Shiyi sat in the main seat, and the sad and disappointed expression on his face disappeared.

She raised her chin coldly and asked softly.

"What do you think?"

Fu Xuwen had been kneeling on the ground and was feeling a little drowsy.

"Sister, I am a man. No matter who she is, I cannot fail to be responsible for her."

Wan Yi leaned on him affectionately, as if she felt she was the happiest person at the moment.

Even though she is like this, Xuwen still loves himself deeply.

Chen Shiyi was silent for a while.

"Xu Wen, I still say the same thing. Since you have chosen her, we will have nothing to do with each other in the future. You must leave. After all, I can't tolerate a liar hanging around me."

Wan Yi looked at Fu Xuwen who was silent on the side and quickly interrupted.

"Of course we have to leave, but we can't leave like this. Brother Xuwen has been here with you for many years. He built the teahouse and other things all by himself. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. You must give him enough money, otherwise don't even think about letting us leave."

Fu Xuwen hurriedly scolded Wan Yi.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've already told you that the teahouse belongs to my sister."

Chen Shiyi looked at Fu Xuwen silently, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

After they stopped talking, Chen Shiyi spoke again.

"Xu Wen, for so many years, you helped me open up information channels in various states and established the tea industry. I thought we would always be together to open more and bigger tea shops, but unfortunately we still separated in the end. You know that I can't tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in my eyes, but you still chose to ignore our previous feelings for that grain of sand."

Fu Xuwen lowered his head and choked.

"Sister..."

"I am no longer worthy of your call of "Sister". Please don't call me that anymore. The tea house in Luzhou has already taken shape. I will give it to you. From now on, you will be in charge of the tea house by yourself. You will no longer be the second in command under me, but you will have your own business. However, you are not allowed to set foot in Kyoto again. I don't want to see you again."

When everyone heard this, they sighed.

After Chen Shiyi finished speaking, he looked at the kneeling Fu Xuwen with his eyes flickering, seeming a little doubtful.

Chen Shiyi raised his eyes and glanced at Jingran.

Jing Ran hurriedly said respectfully.

"Boss, the future potential of Luzhou Tea House is immeasurable. Why did you give such a good tea house to the second boss? A lot of manpower and material resources were spent in the early stage. How could you just give it to the second boss?"

Wan Yi interrupted.

"Who do you think you are? Their affairs have nothing to do with you. Why bother to meddle in other people's business?"

Chen Shiyi stared at Fu Xuwen and asked.

"Are you dissatisfied?"
