Chapter 12 Chapter 12 "If I remember correctly, it was you...
Boss Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Yao Ning. He scolded Yao Ning severely, asked the manager to discipline him, and then went back to his room.
After closing the door, the anger on Boss Chen's face dissipated in the blink of an eye. Looking through the window paper at Yao Ning's silhouette in the lobby, he murmured thoughtfully, "Ah Yao?"
Every servant in Xizhou Pavilion was carefully selected by him. All of them had a destiny that matched his and would be beneficial to him in the future.
A Yao is no exception.
This girl had nothing special about her except that she was particularly pretty. Boss Yao had forgotten about her long ago and just thought he had picked up a rich lady who was homeless on the street. As for why she was homeless, he didn't care and was too lazy to ask.
But this A Yao, besides having a noble air, seemed to have something else that he hadn't seen.
Openly fighting in Xizhou Hall was, at best, against the rules, and at worst, it almost destroyed his reputation. Would such a person be beneficial to his future?
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Boss Chen pondered for a while, then came to the desk and wrote the word "Yao".
Then he cast a barrier outside the room, thought for a moment, and added two more.
Then close your eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the ordinary little eyes on that ordinary face were no longer ordinary, but a pair of majestic and noble phoenix eyes, with a restrained brilliance in them, as if containing the stars in the sky.
The eyelashes in her phoenix eyes fluttered, then drooped slightly, her gaze falling on the word "Yao" on the paper.
A gray mist appeared in front of Boss Chen's eyes. He looked carefully but saw nothing.
"A pseudonym?" Boss Chen was not surprised. He just didn't know A Yao's real name, so how could he peek into her future?
He stared at the word "Yao" for a long time, and the scene after meeting Yao Ning appeared in front of his eyes.
Wandering on the streets, his eyes are calm and clear, with a hint of emptiness as if he doesn't care about anything.
Faced with the heavy workload, she never complained at all. Although the steward found fault from time to time, he could see clearly that the girl was truly sincere and serious in her work, as if she was not wiping the floor of Xizhou Pavilion, but the jade steps of heaven.
Take things as they come, and be calm and pure in mind.
Being bullied by the servants, she was angry and disgusted, but she did not harbor any dark malice. She was clearly the one being bullied, but the way she looked at the servants was like a giant looking at an ant that had bitten her.
This is not an ordinary rich lady, nor even an ordinary person in the world.
Boss Chen stared at the word "Yao".
For someone in such a high position, which character with the same pronunciation or a similar name as "Yao" is worthy of such a person?
Boss Chen pondered for a moment, changed a piece of paper, dipped the brush in ink and wrote a large, vigorous and bold character.
Yao.
Her demeanor seemed to be at peace all of a sudden.
Boss Chen closed his eyes slightly, his mind immersed in the words, and the sounds of swords and spears came to his ears. The world gradually became clear after a few blinks of an eye, but a great fear suddenly rose in Boss Chen's soul.
Fear was like a veil of heaven bearing down upon him, and how could he, so insignificant, stand up against it? He felt a chill that penetrated his flesh and bones, reaching his soul. It was a chill of helplessness and despair that left him helpless.
"No! I can't look!" Boss Chen immediately understood that this woman was not someone he could peek at. He wanted to look away, but he was gripped by the unfolding future scene.
That was not a place he could shake, a place he could summon and dismiss at will.
Gun smoke, ice and fire, strong winds, rain and snow, the sky is like a huge whirlpool, lightning flashes across the nine continents, and thunder swallows up all sounds.
Boss Chen used up all his strength and tried to close his eyes.
But his eyes were still wide open in despair and uncontrollably, and he saw some big figures whom he never wanted to see in his life.
Taoist Zixiao was deeply concerned.
The eldest daughter of Tianshu Sect.
Bai Su, the guardian of the demon world.
Lingfeng stood on the ground in awe.
…
All the pillars of the Nine Continents were there, and he even saw the Demon Lord Jiangcan.
Who is this woman?! Why are there so many important figures in her future?
Boss Chen's consciousness was already becoming insane. When he saw those important figures all looking up, he forgot his previous struggle and couldn't help but look up.
Under the sky, A Yao was there.
She still had the same face, but she was no longer wearing the crude maid's uniform of Xizhou Pavilion, but a bright red dress.
She stood high above everyone else, looking down at her feet.
Boss Chen only took one look at it, and instantly felt a sharp pain in his soul, and the picture suddenly shattered.
In the barrier of Xizhou Pavilion, Boss Chen screamed and hugged his head tightly.
It was unknown how long it took before he raised his head with a pale face. Two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes. Boss Chen blinked.
“Pah.”
His eyeballs fell and pressed on the word "Yao" written in ink.
Boss Chen only had one eye left. Compared to the shock he had just received, he obviously took it well. He picked up the eyeball and put it back into the socket, muttering, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't look at it too much. I didn't look at it too much..."
When Yao Ning was being scolded by the manager, Boss Chen came down. He looked unhappy and had a black eye patch on his left eye. The other small eye that was exposed was rolling around, and he didn't dare to look at Yao Ning.
"Everyone, come into the back hall. I have something to tell you."
The steward responded flatteringly and led the servants to the back hall.
Boss Chen was walking in front, watching the manager yelling and scolding. Normally he didn't notice it, but now it seemed extremely annoying.
His left eye ached slightly, and he kicked the butt of the steward: "Shut up!"
The manager immediately fell silent, shocked and suspicious, and could only glare angrily at the people behind him.
After entering the flower hall at the back, Boss Chen held his forehead and sat down in the main seat. As soon as he sat down, he jumped up as if his butt was burned.
He forced a smile on his pale face: "Where's Miss Yao?"
No one knew who he was calling.
Boss Chen smiled attentively, stood on tiptoe and looked towards the back: "Miss Yao!"
The servants all had different expressions on their faces. They all turned to look at Yao Ning at the back. Boss Chen smiled harmlessly and said, "Miss Yao, please come here."
Everyone made way for Yao Ning, and all kinds of speculation, disdain, disgust, and scrutiny fell on her face.
Yao Ning was baffled and came to Boss Chen. Boss Chen pointed to the main seat on the left and said very respectfully, "Miss Yao, please take a seat."
In the strange silence, Yao Ning sat down calmly with great interest.
Boss Chen didn't dare to look at her face. He lowered his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Miss Yao, I was blind and neglected you a few days ago. If you want to punish me, I am willing to bear it."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and a servant brought up a tray covered with red silk. Boss Chen lifted the red silk and saw dozens of gold ingots neatly stacked inside.
"When we met that day, the young lady was temporarily down and out, so she took up a job as a handyman at Xizhou Pavilion. Today, I, Chen, offer you a small gift to cover your travel expenses, and I will prepare a farewell banquet later."
One ingot of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver and ten thousand copper coins, but Boss Chen said that this tray of gold was just a small gift.
The servants were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless and didn't know what their boss was talking about.
Yao Ning casually picked up a gold ingot, tossed it in his hand, and then threw it back on the tray: "Boss, do you want me to leave?"
Boss Chen broke out in a sweat: "I'm not trying to get rid of you, girl. I just offended you before and I can't keep you here."
What was Boss Chen going to do? Could it be that she had guessed wrong, that he wasn't from the demonic realm, and that he had no plans for her.
But there was something different about Xizhou Pavilion, and there was something different about Boss Chen. Yao Ning knew it from the beginning, and the Boss Chen in front of him was even more bizarre.
Yao Ning raised his eyebrows: "I'm not leaving."
Boss Chen secretly groaned. Since he couldn't send this giant Buddha away, he could only keep it as a treasure. "If Miss Yao wants to stay, it will be an honor for Xizhou Pavilion and Chen. I will definitely treat you as a guest of honor..."
"No need to sweep the floor?"
Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "No, no, how dare Chen!"
His voice even trembled.
Yao Ning smiled and said, "I wouldn't accept a reward without merit, but I wouldn't dare to do anything."
Boss Chen said hurriedly: "Yes, then, let's do it..."
Boss Chen's mind raced, trying to find an easy, effortless, and respectable job, but Yao Ning turned his gaze to the uneasy steward in front of him and interrupted, "I'll be the steward."
The steward was startled and blurted out: "Why?"
Boss Chen spoke before Yao Ning: "Shut up! You have no right to speak!"
The steward's face flushed red: "Boss, she, she is the steward, what should I do?"
Yao Ning propped up his chin and looked at him: "Of course it's sweeping the floor."
The steward was immediately enraged, feeling both angry and humiliated: "I sweep the floor? You dare to ask me to sweep the floor..."
Boss Chen glared at him. The steward's flames went out and he looked at him in panic: "Boss, the Xizhou Pavilion's land is so large, how can I handle it alone? Normally, there would be at least five or six people..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Yao Ning swept the place alone, from dusk to dawn, and was so tired that his whole body ached.
Originally, the steward thought that she couldn't stand it after working for one day, and would then come to him for help, and he would be able to ask for some benefits. If she was ambitious, she might even sleep with this pretty little bitch who seduced the boss. After all, that was how he got the previous beautiful maids.
But he didn't expect that Yao Ning had no intention of begging him at all.
Not only that, he deliberately hinted at and condoned others to bully her, and she never thought that she could change her situation through him.
This woman seems a little stupid.
But how did such a stupid person seduce the boss?
If she hadn't seduced the boss, how could she have easily gotten such a lucrative job as Xizhouguan?
The manager was panicking. No, she was definitely not stupid. Look, she had hooked up with the boss, which was why his attitude towards her changed so suddenly.
Yao Ning looked at the steward's changing expression and said coldly, "You are alone, sweep the floor."
The manager clenched his fists, looked at Yao Ning gloomily, and then said to Boss Chen, "I quit."
Boss Chen waved his hand: "Then hurry up and leave."
The manager's face changed. He didn't expect that Boss Chen didn't try to keep him. Seeing that several security guards were about to pull him away, he rushed to Boss Chen and knelt down with a thud.
"Boss, I've been with you for five or six years. My loyalty is evident to all of heaven and earth! You can't just…"
He looked at Yao Ning, shuddered, and changed his words: "You can't leave me for this woman, I, I..."
Seeing that Boss Chen looked impatient and didn't care about his loyalty and affection for following him, he gritted his teeth and said, "I, this old slave, am willing to sweep the floor."
After saying this, he burst into tears, looking extremely sad.
The job at Xizhou Pavilion was simple, and the pay was several times higher than elsewhere. He had been running the business for several years, already second only to one person and more than ten people, so how could he bear to leave so easily? Besides, if the boss got tired of this woman, he would have plenty of opportunities to turn things around.
Boss Chen hummed, "Go down."
The steward's body stiffened, and he stood up and retreated woodenly. The look he gave Yao Ning seemed as if he wanted to skin him alive, but there was also a hint of belated fear in his eyes.
Yao Ning was too lazy to even look at him. Wherever her eyes passed, no one dared to meet her gaze and they all lowered their heads.
Yao Ning called a male servant: "You, come out."
The man stood up tremblingly and reluctantly, then knelt down with a thud.
Yao Ning leaned forward, his voice cold: "If I remember correctly, it was you who wanted to sleep with me?"
