Zhou Cang, who only wanted to prevent Gu Heizi from being kicked out, was speechless.
How did he become a servant?
"Boss, this kid is dark-skinned and doesn't know any manners. Following you..."
The thought of a dark figure standing behind the fair-skinned leader made his lips twitch involuntarily.
"Why don't you choose another one?"
Luo Xi laughed: "Dark is good, I like dark."
"With him standing next to me, my skin looks noticeably whiter. It's quite practical."
Zhou Cang: "..."
A servant can be used like this?
Without waiting for a while, Luo Xi waved to Gu Heizi and said, "You, that dark-skinned kid over there, yes, you, come here."
Rong Bai was taken aback at first, then looked around and saw that the slender finger was indeed pointing at him, and his eyes lit up immediately.
This is... discovering my unparalleled beauty.
He instinctively reached for his folding fan to wave it around a bit, but found nothing. Damn it, he'd forgotten he was Gu Heizi now.
Oh no, have I been exposed?
"Boss, did you call me?" he asked, trying to suppress his nervousness.
After looking him over carefully, Luo Xi said, "Yes, your... dark skin is so unique, it's the first time I've ever seen it."
"How about this, you can stay by my side from now on and be my personal servant, so you won't have to farm anymore."
Rong Bai: "???"
Something about that doesn't sound quite right.
If Li Jin were here, he would say to Rong Bai, "Of course it doesn't taste right, sir. That's what you always say when you encounter something new and interesting."
"Boss, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Could it be that I gave myself away? Otherwise, what idiot would choose someone who looks so dark as to be a servant?
Anyway, if he doesn't choose it himself, it would be too embarrassing to bring it out; it would be a laughing stock.
The thought of this made Rong Bai's expression change, and images of Luo Xi skinning him alive, boiling him in oil, and making him sleep on a bed of nails flashed through his mind.
Alas, all that silver he hid in the villa's vault will now never see the light of day again.
The others were immediately unhappy to see that he had been offered such a good job and was now refusing it.
They glanced cautiously at Luo Xi, and seeing her smiling face and stunning beauty, their fear lessened considerably. They all shouted at Gu Heizi:
"Gu Heizi, you're putting on too much airs. The boss chose you as his personal servant, which is a great honor for you. How can you refuse?"
"That's right, don't be ungrateful."
Some of the quick-witted ones were even more direct: "Boss, I'm even darker than that Gu Heizi, and I'm all oily. Hey, cough, I'd be even more interesting and handsome to be by your side."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his dark, shiny biceps: "How about you choose me?"
After saying that, he gave Luo Xi a smile that he thought was quite impressive, but which was actually distorted.
This is terrible!
"Boss, I'm much darker than him, you see..."
"You're talking nonsense. You're nowhere near as dark as me. My wife says my face is darker than the bottom of the pot in the kitchen..." As she spoke, she posed with her face next to the other person's arm: "Right?"
"..." Luo Xi's head was spinning. How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Just as I was having a headache, I caught a glimpse of the culprit grinning and watching the spectacle with obvious glee.
Well done!
Luo Xi ground her back teeth and began to criticize: "You're no good. Your black is too shiny. You're not as good as Gu Heizi."
"Your black is too dark, not as good as Gu Heizi."
"The color is uneven, it looks creepy, it's not right..."
"...Hello, Gu Heizi!" Before Luo Xi could finish speaking, someone else took over, but his eyes were fixed on Rong Bai with a sinister look.
Rong Bai: "???"
No, what does this have to do with me? It wasn't me who said it.
However, the head of the gang probably didn't realize he was an imposter, so she genuinely likes someone like Gu Heizi?
What kind of look is that? Can Gu Heizi be as good as Rong Bai?
Regardless of what Rong Bai thought, these talented individuals were all eager to get started, some even cracking their knuckles.
"Brother Gu, you seem to have a lot of experience in making yourself look darker and so popular with the boss. Could you teach us sometime so we can repay the boss's kindness?"
What the hell is this? His darkening has become something the boss likes, as if he's selling his manhood to please the boss? Rong Bai wanted to cry but had no tears.
He's a county magistrate, why would he do that?
Besides, you all look at me like you're about to devour me; that's the attitude of someone begging for help.
We should at least offer a pot of wine first...
"Pah, pah, pah!" Rong Bai slapped his forehead. He'd been led astray by them. Really.
"I'm busy!" he retorted angrily.
Loxi wasn't about to give him a chance: "If you don't have time, then don't come to work for me in the future."
Rong Bai: "..."
That's so unfair!
How could he get close to Rosie if he didn't come? How could he understand her if he didn't get close to her?
"I'm free, I'm free, I'm free anytime," he said, feeling frustrated.
The people were immediately delighted, and their gazes toward Roxi became much more affectionate.
The leader is indeed the leader, except... his hobbies are a bit... well, peculiar.
After the incident, the people's fear and suspicion of Roxi lessened considerably, and a sense of harmony returned.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise!
Luo Xi was still thinking about how to make these people feel a sense of belonging to the manor, but she never expected that this boy with impure motives would help her so much by accident.
"Alright, quiet down, let's get down to business." She clapped her hands and called out.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; the fearsome leader was back. They quickly shut up and stood at attention.
