"I know, I know I wouldn't have grown up if it weren't for you all. I'll be careful." Xu Zhaoyue's eyes were almost filled with tears.
Butler Xu chatted with Xu Zhaoyue for a while before leaving. However, Xu Zhaoyue's emotions had not yet calmed down. When Yue Lanxing returned, he habitually came over to check on her and saw the young lady wiping away tears with a book in her hand.
Yue Lanxing stood at the door, unsure whether he dared to go in. He wanted to go in and ask the young lady what had happened. Had Butler Xu said something that made her cry, or was the book very touching?
Yue Lanxing still went in quietly. The young lady was crying in front of him, and he couldn't pretend he didn't see it. He took a tissue and handed it to her, "Was the story in the book too touching?"
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the tissue, then followed her hand to Yue Lanxing, who was kneeling beside her, looking at her. "When did you get here?" Xu Zhaoyue took the tissue and wiped her tears.
Yue Lanxing saw that the young lady hadn't heard what she had just said, but didn't repeat it. "Just now, I saw the young lady crying."
"No way! I was just so touched," Xu Zhaoyue retorted softly, but the tears still on her face were hardly convincing.
After wiping away her tears, Xu Zhaoyue closed the book. "I was just looking for you. Sure enough, Xu Dachuan went to complain to Butler Xu, which made me get scolded by Butler Xu."
"How dare Butler Xu insult the young lady?" Yue Lanxing's voice wasn't loud, but her anger was palpable; she almost stood up from the ground.
"Alright, alright, why would he scold me?" Xu Zhaoyue patted Yue Lanxing's hand. "Butler Xu came to remind me that I shouldn't have let you do it without asking any questions."
Yue Lanxing was a little confused. How could the young lady not care about anything? Xu Zhaoyue saw his confusion. She really didn't need to do anything yesterday.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Butler Xu is saying that the entire bodyguard training plan should be announced by me in my capacity, so you won't have to argue with them."
"Is that so? I thought Butler Xu was going to criticize Miss because of this incident. Miss doesn't need to vouch for my conflict with Xu Dachuan, does she? What if she says I relied on Miss's power or that my victory was unfair? Wouldn't that involve Miss?"
Yue Lanxing was right. If Xu Zhaoyue openly sided with him, they would be accused of an unfair victory if they won, and both of them would lose face if they lost.
"Then you can train people who won't say I'm biased." Xu Zhaoyue was confident about this.
Yue Lanxing nodded, "That's for sure. Of course, the selection will be based on what Miss says."
"I'll go watch the match with Butler Xu. I've never seen a fighting match like this before. It'll be really exciting to see the sparring!"
"Hey, get up quickly, aren't your legs numb after all this time?" Xu Zhaoyue was speaking when she leaned back in her chair and realized that Yue Lanxing was still standing next to her.
Yue Lanxing got up from the ground and sat down next to the small round table. "If my legs go numb and I fall down later, Miss won't be able to help me up."
"Then we'll have to bring Xue Huzi over. You need to get them to work hard and make sure they live up to my expectations in each squad." Xu Zhaoyue always treated her subordinates the best.
"Yes, I will definitely train them rigorously. Miss and Butler Xu will go and see the results then. However, every villa is cutting costs recently, and the other villas have been tailored."
"Many people from other villas wanted to come to Miss's place, but Xiao Nan didn't agree, so they came to me. I didn't give them any information. I don't know what Miss is thinking?"
Xu Zhaoyue's mention of cultivation reminded Yue Lanxing of this matter; otherwise, the grass wouldn't have been so easy to grow.
“Xiao Nan told me, but I used my own money. They all have their own businesses. Not to mention others, Xiao Hao has three shops.” Xu Zhaoyue didn’t quite understand.
"That's because the young lady puts people before money. The Xu family's salaries are already higher than others, so they probably think it's no big deal to lower them a bit. But some people don't want to lower their salaries after they get high salaries, so it turns into some people being eliminated."
"Young Master is out and hasn't returned yet. These matters are all handled by Butler Xu." In fact, it was Butler Xu who issued the order to save expenses, and those reasons were nothing to Yue Lanxing.
Xu Zhaoyue had also thought of this, and perhaps it was a good thing. "How about this, you and Xiaonan look for some good candidates. Once you've chosen them, they don't need to work in my villa. You can put them in other places for future use."
"It's time to make use of my shop outside. If we have enough manpower, we can talk to Mr. Wang. He has experience in chain stores and offers a wider variety of products."
Xu Zhaoyue planned to visit each store in a few days. If she found anyone embezzling money while she was away, or any other problems, she would clean them up and replace them with new people.
“Okay, I’ll go tell Xiao Nan about the young lady’s arrangements.” Yue Lanxing agreed.
After receiving the news, Xiao Nan got busy again. Although Yue Lanxing was the housekeeper, he was not in the villa during the day, so Xiao Nan was the one who took care of the household.
A week passed quickly for Xu Zhaoyue, who could simply immerse herself in her work, but for the bodyguards, it felt like an eternity.
Xue Huzi and Tian Dai were both a little overwhelmed, and they were still wondering why Yue Lanxing had such good energy.
When the assessment came, everyone was determined to win, not only to stay on the team, but also because Yue Lanxing had said that if they won, they could fight him. After the training, everyone was full of confidence, feeling that they could compete with Yue Lanxing.
