Chapter 272 Yu Qianli's plan, Xiao Ying feels that he is not simple
Li Qian was none other than Yu Qianli, the young master of the Yu family.
With the precedent of Yu Fuyao, he knew that he couldn't force his way through, so he came up with this method to disguise his identity and get close to the other party.
After arriving in Yun'an County, he accidentally heard that Mrs. Xiao was buying a large number of people.
After some thought, he pretended to be a refugee and sneaked into the pawnshop, and also acquired a skill to manage the shop.
He knew that Xiao Ying had opened several workshops and shops, and guessed that the other party must need talents in this area.
As expected, it was immediately spotted by Xiao Ying's people and bought back.
Since many people in this dental clinic were arrested, many of them did not have household registration certificates, so it seemed normal that he did not have one either.
After arriving in Chenjia Village, he felt that the villagers here were very motivated, but the spiritual energy was just as Yu Fuyao said, similar to other places.
It was not until he arrived at Xiao Ying's house that he showed surprise for the first time.
This house was actually set up with a large courtyard protection formation and a spirit gathering formation, and its power should not be underestimated. Even he was not 100% sure that he could break it.
In the entire Yu family, only the ancestor and he two people can set up such a formation, which means that Xiao Ying's formation skills are not inferior to theirs.
After seeing Xiao Ying, he found that she was extremely young and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on her body. He became more and more certain that she had a magical weapon to conceal her spiritual energy.
Of course, he also had it, so he dared to stand in front of Xiao Ying openly.
When Xiao Ying rewarded them with the Peiyuan Pill, he was extremely surprised and shocked. He never thought that the other party would casually give such an important thing to such insignificant people as them.
Such good things are rare in their Yu family. They are reluctant to use them unless it is absolutely necessary, but Xiao Ying gives them to others casually.
At that moment, his heart was extremely complicated, and he didn't know what Xiao Ying was thinking.
Is it because she has too many Peiyuan Pills to use up?
Or, do you really value these people?
But no matter which one it is, it shows that she is a master of alchemy and has no shortage of elixirs.
It also further verified his previous guess that she must have really obtained a great opportunity.
Naturally, he was reluctant to take the Peiyuan Pill. He deliberately pretended to look thin and miserable. He would just recover slowly according to the plan.
He didn't have much work to do in the soap workshop these days, so he observed the entire village in his spare time.
It was finally confirmed that except for Xiao Ying's family, the rest of the villagers were just ordinary people, and they had no idea of Xiao Ying's true methods.
He also saw the two ferocious beasts that Yu Fuyao mentioned, one was at the second level of Qi Refining, and the other was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
In addition, he also discovered that there was a gatekeeper beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining in Xiao Ying's house.
Adding on what Yu Fuyao said about Chen Xingyun’s spirit cat, it meant there were at least two ferocious beasts at the sixth level of Qi Refining!
In fact, he felt that it was more than that. Xiao Ying had four children, and it was very likely that he had contracted a sixth-level Qi Refining beast for each of them.
If that's true, it means she has at least five!
Coupled with Yu Lingyun who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, their overall strength cannot be underestimated and they are fully worthy of being a first-class family except for the five major immortal cultivation families.
However, apart from these combat forces, he has not found any more cultivators for the time being. There are only a few warriors with decent strength in the two workshops, which is very abnormal.
He was almost certain that Xiao Ying had another base.
With her opportunity, she can definitely cultivate a group of cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, but he hasn't found them yet.
He was not in a hurry. As long as he stayed with Xiao Ying, he would find out sooner or later.
When he was called to the main house again this time, he knew that his chance had come.
While he was thinking, he had already entered the house and was quickly taken to the main house where he had been before. Only then did he realize that he was not the only one who had been called.
"My humble servant greets the Madam."
Yu Qianli showed joy and nervousness moderately, lowered his head slightly, and looked respectful.
Xiao Ying glanced at him and found that his complexion was much rosier than a few days ago. He must have recovered well.
"You seem to be recovering somewhat. How have you been feeling these past few days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I've been doing very well these past few days. I've had good food and a good place to stay, and I've learned a lot in the soap workshop."
Xiao Ying nodded. "That's good. I asked you to come here today because I have other plans. I heard that you managed a shop before, so you must have some experience in this area."
"I'm currently building a gourmet food workshop and I'm in need of some talented people who can take care of it, so I thought of you."
"I have appointed Chen Tong as the workshop manager. You will work under him from now on. Your salary will be increased to two taels per month."
"If you do a good job, you can be promoted to deputy steward in the future. Are you willing?"
Yu Qianli couldn't help showing joy on his face, and bowed excitedly.
"I am willing! I will work hard with Manager Chen and will never let Madam down."
He made the right move. He didn't expect to have such a good opportunity so soon. It seems that Xiao Ying really lacks manpower in this area.
This also shows that the other party's foundation is still shallow and they have not yet formed a model for cultivating talents.
"Hmm." Xiao Ying showed a hint of admiration and looked at Chen Tong again: "Cuizhu and Li Qian will work with you from now on. As for the rest of the staff, you can recruit them on your own."
"The Food Workshop will prioritize hiring relocated disaster victims. The maximum number of employees per household remains the same. The rules and regulations are the same as for the other two workshops."
Chen Tong was immediately delighted. His second sister-in-law really trusted him and gave him such great power. It was equivalent to handing the entire workshop over to him.
He couldn't help but feel a heavy sense of responsibility. His second sister-in-law trusted him so much, he must not let her down!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will do my best to prevent people from accusing you of nepotism."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Xiao Ying smiled with satisfaction. With Chen Tong around, she had less worries.
However, we will have to speed up the training of talents in the future.
Shi Li, who is in charge of the chili workshop, and Xing Yun and Xiao Cai, who are in charge of the soap workshop, have all recruited people to keep by their side, but truly training them will take time, not a day or two.
Admiration also flashed in Yu Qianli's eyes. Apart from anything else, this Mrs. Xiao was really kind to the villagers of Chenjia Village. She would lead everyone to make money together whenever she had the chance.
Not only did every household have one person working in the workshop, but academies, medical clinics, and martial arts schools were also being built, and the cost of studying medicine and martial arts would be extremely low in the future.
I heard that she wanted to provide it completely for free at first, but the villagers strongly requested that they share the cost, so she only charged 20%.
He really admired her magnanimity and broad-mindedness.
Whether from the perspective of the royal family or the villagers, Xiao Ying's character is impeccable.
Of course, maybe she just wanted everyone to see this on purpose. He still had to continue observing the real situation.
Chen Tong happily took Cuizhu and Yu Qianli away. After leaving the room, Xiao Ying looked at Yu Qianli's back thoughtfully.
Logically, this person seemed normal, but she just felt something was wrong.
It was an intuition that came from the heart, feeling that this person was not as simple as he seemed.
"Lingyun."
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Go check the background of this Li Qian. I always feel that there is something wrong with him."
