Last night was the Lantern Festival. In order to make it easier for the people of Yangcheng to enjoy the lanterns, the city gates were not closed, so people could leave the city at night.

For this beggar, Tian San, although he won so much money, he had no power and influence. The place he was once familiar with was no longer a safe place. It was reasonable for him to leave Yangcheng and start a new life in another place before the news spread.

But Miss Jun frowned.

"Did you follow him?" she asked.

The lamp-watcher shook his head.

“I wasn’t told to do this by senior management,” he said.

"Yes, I didn't ask the senior staff to do this." Miss Jun frowned, nodded and said.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the person looking at the lantern, and he lowered his head a little to hide it.

What did the lady mean? Did I ask the wrong question?

"Then how do you know he was in collusion with others? Did you see it?" Liu'er couldn't help but ask.

The lamplighter shook his head again.

"He's a man," he said, pausing briefly, "but he's only wearing one shoe."

A shoe?

What happened? Liu Er was even more confused.

Miss Jun looked at the lamp watcher thoughtfully without saying anything.

"I heard the driver ask him if he had lost a shoe, and Tian San said no, saying it was someone else's shoe." The lantern watcher said, "The driver asked him why he was wearing someone else's shoe, and Tian San said don't underestimate this shoe, it will bring you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Liu'er stared and waited for a long time but the lantern watcher didn't speak.

"Is it over?" she asked, finally reacting.

The lamplighter nodded.

"That's all," he said.

Liu Er stared.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"So we can guess that Tian San met someone, and that person was the owner of the shoe he was wearing. As for why there was only one shoe, it is unclear and not important. What is important is that Tian San said that with this shoe, he gained a lifetime of wealth. What does a lifetime of wealth mean? Naturally, it is the money that Tian San got from our Huadeng." The senior manager said, "And this wealth was brought by this shoe, that is, the owner of the shoe."

Liu Er said "Oh".

"You businessmen think too much." She said with a pout.

The senior manager would not bother with this little girl. He just smiled and said nothing.

Miss Jun put down the teacup in her hand and nodded.

"I see. So solving this chess game is not based on luck. It's based on real skills." She said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Gao. This is a comfort to me."

The senior manager's eyes flickered.

"I think so too. It's too much of a coincidence to say it's just luck." He said with a smile, "So many people can't figure it out. If there is another expert, then it won't be a waste of your chess game, young lady."

Miss Jun smiled and nodded.

Liu Er wanted to speak, but she was caught off guard by Miss Jun's gaze and dared not to speak.

"Although people misunderstood it as a trick, it is actually worthy of the admiration of heroes. It is also worthy of the young lady's work as a lantern. This matter is really a perfect ending." Director Gao continued with a smile.

As for whether it was truly perfect, this was exactly what Director Gao wanted to ask Miss Jun.

If people knew that the five thousand taels of silver was true, the whole city would be in an uproar. Miss Jun's identity must be known, and this generous and elegant anecdote must be recorded in the county annals.

According to his understanding, Miss Jun took great pains to make such a lantern and offered such a big prize. She must have done it for fame, just like spending a fortune on horse bones. At that time, she could show her ability and generosity.

Although doing so may not gain you a good reputation immediately, it can at least weaken your previous bad reputation and pave the way for building a better reputation in the future.

But now, because this faceless man pushed out the nobody Tian Sanchu, people think that the 5,000 tael prize is a hoax and mistakenly believe it is a show just to make money.

After all, being cheated is not a glorious thing, so it will not be publicized as a funny thing. At most, people will curse at you in private. If someone finds out that it was Miss Jun who did it, then there will be even less good things said.

To put it bluntly, this result is that we lost both the wife and the army.

The senior manager couldn't help but admire Miss Yu Jun for being able to sit there and smile at this moment.

I just said that she was a very calm person, even though she might be so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

Of course, this matter is not unsolvable. As long as we find the person behind this and let him come out to testify, the situation can be salvaged.

However, Miss Jun did not order the light watcher to interrogate Tian San at that time, and she turned around and ran away.

Well, the child is young and inexperienced, so he doesn’t know what to do, so he goes to Fang’s house to look for someone.

But no one showed up after waiting for a long time. Upon asking, I found out that he had gone home to rest.

This unreliable child!

Fortunately, he was watching from the side at the time, and he had to make arrangements himself and let people guard the four city gates. He knew that Tian San would definitely run away at night. Although he did not see the mastermind behind the scenes, he more or less confirmed his guess.

They waited until dawn but Miss Jun's inquiries and instructions were not received. Old Mrs. Fang had not made any arrangements either. Thinking that Miss Jun was unreliable, the senior manager decided to just leave her alone and come to ask for instructions in person.

His words have been made very clear, it all depends on how Miss Jun responds.

The senior manager looked at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun nodded.

"Yes, it's very happy," she said.

There seemed to be a glimmer of relief in his eyes.

A little happy? What to be happy about?

The senior manager was stunned. Does this mean everything is perfect? ​​Is that it? Did he not make himself clear enough?

"Miss Jun, do you want to find this master and discuss chess with him?" he asked.

Miss Jun shook her head without any hesitation.

“No need,” she said. “I made the lanterns for the Lantern Festival, not for chess. The Lantern Festival will be over.”

She paused here and thought for a moment.

"That's good," she said, nodding.

She was telling the truth.

The senior manager opened his mouth and closed it again.

Oh well.

When Miss Jun took out five thousand taels as a prize, he had already asked Old Lady Fang for permission. Old Lady Fang said that it was her money and it was up to her.

In that case, let her be. He has said everything he should say and remind her. It is up to each person to choose which path to take.

"Then I'll take my leave. If Miss Jun has any instructions, just ask the old lady to call me." Director Gao bowed and took his leave with a smile.

This was a clever statement, as it showed enthusiasm but also served as a reminder that if there was really any need for instructions, her say was not final and the old lady had to speak up.

Miss Jun also smiled and stood up, her eyes falling on the person looking at the lamp.

"What's this person's name? Where does he work?" she suddenly asked.

The person looking at the lantern was stunned.

"His name is Lei Zhonglian," said the senior manager. "He works at the ticket office, and he's an old man."

I don't know how much Miss Jun knows about the ticket business, but watching cars doesn't sound like an important position, so she specifically pointed out that he was an old man.

What she meant was that although he was not in a high position, he was a person with rich experience, and was not someone she just randomly found for her.

After the senior manager said this, a smile appeared on Miss Jun's face.

This smile made people feel a little uncomfortable, as if an adult saw through a child's trick but didn't say anything.
