Ye Zhou didn't expect that the children of noble families in this era would be so wild.
From the moment Baiyu entered the lounge, his searchlight-like eyes never left Ye Zhou.
In his entire life, even though Ye Zhou knew that he was good-looking, he had never met a "pervert" like Bai Yu. Even though he had seen many big scenes, he still felt a chill on his back under Bai Yu's gaze.
Ye Zhou coughed lightly, and Bai Yu finally came to his senses. He seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of coming here, and only asked stupidly: "Sir, you are so elegant, why do you stay here and do business?"
After hearing this, Ye Zhou frowned unconsciously.
Opening a supermarket has been his dream since childhood. When he heard this, the smile on Ye Zhou's face almost disappeared immediately.
Bai Yu did not stop talking. He continued, "Sir, why don't you come with me to Zhao State? I am a descendant of the Bai family, and I will treat you as a guest of honor."
He blinked his eyes, showing a charming look.
Now Ye Zhou got goose bumps on his arms.
Is this person's sexual orientation male?
Ye Zhou made a very calm guess.
Perhaps after his experiences at Luoyang Base and Minzel Continent, Ye Zhou has accepted that people can have various sexual orientations.
At Luoyang Base, Ye Zhou witnessed people's choices of different genders, and on the Minzel Continent, people can choose animals.
Ye Zhou smiled at Bai Yu and said, "Didn't Mr. Bai come here to discuss business with me?"
Bai Yu was about to speak when his uncle couldn't help but interrupt him. Although his uncle was not a son of aristocratic family, he grew up with Bai Yu and enjoyed and received education no worse than any other son of aristocratic family. Although he could not embark on an official career, the Bai family's mundane affairs would be handed over to him in the future.
"Sir, you have so many new and exotic goods, so I don't think you're short of money." The milk brother grabbed Baiyu's arm and signaled Baiyu to shut up. He looked into Ye Zhou's eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Zihao and I came here this time on the order of the head of the family to invite you to Zhao."
Ye Zhou shook his head and said bluntly: "I have no intention of leaving Chen State. If you two come to do business with me, I will welcome you. If you want me to leave Chen State, then we have nothing to say."
Bai Yu finally couldn't help but said, "Chen is a weak country. What good can you get from staying in Chen? If you come back to Zhao with me, even if you don't have these goods, I can still provide them for you to enjoy in Zhao."
The milk brother turned his head and looked at Baiyu, as if he wanted to beat him to death or sew his mouth shut.
He knew that Baiyu would be a hindrance, but he didn't expect that he would be such a hindrance.
Ye Zhou did not respond to Baiyu's words, but looked at his brother calmly.
The milk brother continued, "If that's the case, I won't force you. I'm afraid Zihao and I will have to stay in Linzi for a while, so I'm afraid we'll bother you, sir."
Ye Zhou: "No problem."
The grandma put the wooden box on the table and opened it in front of Ye Zhou. Inside was a piece of green jade. Even though Ye Zhou didn't know what kind of jade it was, he could tell it was worth a lot of money.
"This is a gift from our Bai family to you, sir. I hope you don't mind." Brother.
Ye Zhou just glanced at the jade wall, showing a lack of interest: "Thank you very much."
The nanny noticed that there was no greed in Ye Zhou's eyes, and he began to think a little bit.
Baiyu still asked, "Sir, are you here every day?"
Ye Zhou glanced at Bai Yu, feeling a little tired, but still said in a pretentious manner, "Not often."
Baiyu: "Where do you live, sir? Can I come to visit you? It's not very convenient if you live in an inn."
Ye Zhou could tell that Bai Yu was hinting wildly, but he didn't respond.
Before Baiyu could say anything, his brother pulled him up by the arm.
"Sir, you don't have to see us off. We'll leave now." The milk brother dragged Baiyu to the door and said to Ye Zhou calmly, "Sir, don't worry. We won't buy less. We don't ask you to sell only to us. It's good enough to establish a good relationship with us."
After saying that, he glared at Baiyu and dragged him out.
After leaving the lounge, the brother couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Haven't you behaved enough at home? You can't even walk when you see a beauty. If the head of the family finds out, he'll lock you up for a year!"
Baiyu: "You won't tell my dad?!"
The milk brother took a deep breath and said, "If you listen to me, I won't tell the master of the family."
Baiyu sighed and said, "Alas, you don't understand me. I don't blame you. In this world, gold and silver are easy to get, treasures are easy to see, but beauty is hard to find."
Brother Nai couldn't understand what was going on in Baiyu's mind, so he could only hold his breath and say, "Don't miss the important thing!"
The nanny knew Baiyu's character. He had only looked at Baiyu's face since he was a child. The reason why he could always stay by his side was because Baiyu pointed him out from a group of servants. He was able to jump from the son of a servant to Baiyu's nanny, and be able to read and write and manage the Bai family's business.
At first he thought it was his loyalty that touched Baiyu, but unexpectedly Baiyu said: "Others are too ugly, only you are still good-looking, but that's all."
He thought that he had shown good self-control by not beating Baiyu up over the years.
Bai Yu had "collected" countless beauties over the years. He had a house in the capital of Zhao State, which was specifically used to house these men and women. He did not have relationships with them, but just visited them occasionally, talked to them, and had a drink with them. If any of these men and women were attracted to each other, he would give them a house so that they could recuperate in it.
And I am particularly looking forward to how beautiful the child born from two beautiful women will be.
Baiyu didn't care about their backgrounds. Among these beauties, there were children from common people's families, commoners, and even slaves.
But as long as they are beautiful, Baiyu treats them equally.
"I really don't know why you became like this." The milk brother said in a low voice.
Among so many children in the Bai family, only Bai Yu has this quirk. Almost all the money he gets every year is invested in beauties.
He volunteered to come here this time because he had no money.
The Bai family is rich, but he is not.
He needed to resell some goods back home and use the money to continue supporting his beauty.
Bai Yu sighed, "Look, I never had any intentions towards those beauties from aristocratic families. They have enough money and enjoyment, and they won't encounter hardships with the protection of their families. But if I don't protect the common people, they won't have a good ending."
The old man stopped talking.
Sometimes he felt that Baiyu was hateful, and sometimes he felt that Baiyu was actually a good person.
But this good man doesn't look at people's character when saving them, he only looks at their faces.
Thinking of this, he felt that Baiyu was hateful again.
·
After Baiyu left, Ye Zhou finally had time to eat dinner. He went to the shelf and took out a box of tomato-flavored self-heating hot pot, and asked Li Gu to help him steam a serving of rice. On the way back to the lounge, Ye Zhou happened to see Zou Ming walking in from the door.
Zou Ming was holding a bag of gifts sent by merchants.
Although Zou Ming was serious in front of outsiders and even seemed a little fierce, businessmen were still willing to deal with him.
Ye Zhou thought that it might be because businessmen felt that people like Zou Ming would rather not lie.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming after he approached him, "Do you want to eat together? I'll go get that box of self-heating hot pot. What flavor do you want?"
Zou Ming: "All right, I'll go put these things away first."
Ye Zhou nodded: "Go ahead, I'll give you that box, do you want some Coke?"
Zou Ming: "Fanta, please."
Zou Ming walked towards the warehouse, while Ye Zhou went to get the self-heating hot pot and drinks. It was estimated that the supermarket would close in two hours, and then they would go back to the rented house to have a rest. Ye Zhou had not attended court in the past few days - there were very few important political affairs in the State of Chen, and people from all over the country only came to the Lord of Chen to cry poor.
As for whether the money and grain could be delivered to the common people even if Lord Chen allocated them, that is unknown.
Ye Zhou was too lazy to go to the court and argue with those insects. He would only go to the court if Lord Chen really needed him and sent eunuchs to invite him.
Especially during this period of time, merchants brought envoys from dignitaries of various countries here, and it was the time for Ye Zhou to make money.
Compared to making money, things on Chen Hou's side are obviously not that important.
Only the business in the supermarket can make Ye Zhou feel a sense of accomplishment.
When Zou Ming walked into the lounge, the hot pot was almost ready. The hot steam had dissipated, leaving only a wisp of smoke. Ye Zhou looked up at Zou Ming and smiled at him, "Come and sit down. I must tell you what just happened."
As soon as Zou Ming sat down, Ye Zhou couldn't help but "share" his experience with him. It was the first time he met someone like Bai Yu. He couldn't say he hated him, but he just felt it was extremely novel.
After all, this was the first time a person of the same sex had shown interest in him.
But Zou Ming didn't seem to think this was new or interesting. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter because of Ye Zhou's words, and his lips were pursed into a straight line. He interrupted Ye Zhou and said stiffly: "He is a man."
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming, and suddenly remembered that Zou Ming didn't want to see him in just his underwear.
He sighed: "You have to take this matter lightly. Have you ever heard that homophobia means being in the closet?"
Ye Zhou advised patiently: "Men like men, or in other words people like people. Isn't it more natural to think this way? Don't be prejudiced against them."
Zou Ming: "...I..."
Ye Zhou opened the lid of the self-heating hot pot, and the aroma and heat hit him. Ye Zhou looked up and said to Zou Ming, "Let's eat first. We'll eat after the rice is ready. What do you want?"
Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou's face, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Nothing."
Ye Zhou thought that Zou Ming didn't like what he said, after all, Zou Ming always acted like a very straight man.
Ye Zhou felt that he was straight enough, but Zou Ming was even straighter than him.
This won’t work. Even if you are not gay, you shouldn’t be prejudiced against gay people, otherwise it will easily lead to conflicts when doing business.
But when Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming's expression, he could clearly see the disgust on Zou Ming's face.
Forget it, it’s just personal preference. As a boss, he can’t control the personal thoughts of his employees.
From now on, just don’t let Zou Ming come into contact with the white fish.
"Do you like him?" Zou Ming suddenly asked.
Ye Zhou took a bite of the fish ball. When he heard Zou Ming's question, he immediately swallowed the ball in his mouth and looked up and asked, "Who?"
Zou Ming didn't seem to want to say the name. After a few seconds, he said, "Bai Yu."
Ye Zhou was amused: "How is that possible? And I think his liking for me is not that kind of liking. Maybe he just likes my face."
After saying this, Ye Zhou found that Zou Ming was visibly relaxed.
Ye Zhou: "Why are you worried about this? Don't worry, I don't like men."
Zou Ming: “…”
Ye Zhou noticed that Zou Ming's mood had worsened again. Unsure why, Ye Zhou assured him again: "Although I have never liked anyone, I am definitely a straight man."
Zou Ming had nothing to say and could only concentrate on eating.
Ye Zhou also felt that the matter was over. He said while eating, "I estimate that in about a month, I will have earned enough money to leave this plane. However, if I leave in a month, the situation on Chen Hou's side will be very difficult."
Ye Zhou was a little conflicted: "I don't want to give up halfway. I want to at least wait until Lord Chen has gotten through the most difficult time before I leave."
Zou Ming: "Look at you, I don't care."
Ye Zhou: "Are you unhappy?"
Zou Ming shook his head slightly. He put down his chopsticks. He couldn't eat anymore. He said softly, "No, I've always been like this."
Although Ye Zhou wanted to agree with this statement, he knew that Zou Ming must not be very happy at this moment.
But he didn't want to repeat the same thing, so he said: "I can't stay in one plane for a long time, so no matter what, I won't like people from a certain plane."
Ye Zhou: "As for you guys, if you like someone from a certain dimension, I have no objection."
Zou Ming looked into Ye Zhou's eyes. Ye Zhou's eyes were dark and deep, but Zou Ming knew that Ye Zhou was a very "simple" person. This simplicity did not mean that he was naive, but that he was very determined. Once he decided to do something, no one or anything could make him change.
Zou Ming loves this, but also resents it.
"No." Zou Ming, "I have someone I love."
He didn't even use the word "like".
Ye Zhou blinked. He really wanted to gossip a little, but he held back.
It’s not a good idea for a boss to gossip about an employee’s love life.
So he said, "That's good. I also want to try to love someone."
But growing up, he has only loved his family.
Ye Zhou really wants to experience love, but he feels it is troublesome and will affect his ability to make money.
Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou deeply, but unfortunately Ye Zhou lowered his head and his gaze was not met by Zou Ming.
For several days in a row, Ye Zhou was receiving dignitaries or envoys from various countries. Before they came, they were all ambitious and believed that they could buy out all the goods in Ye Zhou's supermarket and monopolize these goods.
But after I got here, I found that it was too difficult, so I just bought as much as I could.
Many of them have privately approached Ye Zhou, hoping that Ye Zhou could leave the State of Chen.
Ye Zhou had heard the same words many times, so his refusal became shorter and more direct.
Perhaps it was because of Ye Zhou's refusal that those powerful people thought that although Ye Zhou was a businessman, he was a noble businessman. Many of them even often visited Ye Zhou, treating him as their friend.
Ye Zhou knew very well that the reason these powerful people were willing to contact him and become "friends" was not only because he owned a supermarket, but more importantly, he was good-looking.
Almost everyone here is obsessed with appearance, but there aren’t many who are as serious as Baiyu.
They all believe that good-looking people cannot be bad people.
And if a good person is ugly, they are unwilling to deal with him.
And they all have a good reason to be obsessed with appearance, believing that if a gentleman does not have a good-looking face and a slender figure, then no matter how talented he is, he will be nothing special.
Ye Zhou found it funny, but it did make his business much smoother.
Almost no one bargained with him.
Many people even think that a man like Ye Zhou must be a noble person. Although he is doing business as a businessman, he must be a gentleman at heart. If he is a gentleman, he would not be so unscrupulous as to raise the price.
Baiyu even thought that Ye Zhou didn't make any money at all. He just sold the goods at the original price and then gave the money to the craftsmen who made the goods.
Perhaps many people think so, Ye Zhou is occasionally confused. Is he not considered a black-hearted businessman?
After all, he asks for exorbitant prices when selling things to these people.
He sold a piece of jelly for two hundred gold coins, and in order to make it easier to sell, he even held an auction.
The person with the highest bid gets to monopolize the jelly.
Finally, the price soared from twenty coins to three hundred coins, and a young man from a noble family in the Wei State obtained the monopoly right to sell the jelly.
The rest of the items that Ye Zhou had never sold in Chen State were also sold at sky-high prices.
As the turnover increased, Ye Zhou realized that it might not be long before he would be able to leave here.
Maybe it was because he had invested the most time and energy in this plane, so at this moment, he was actually a little reluctant to leave.
"I want to see what Lord Chen can turn the State of Chen into." Ye Zhou said to Sarah after an auction.
Sarah: "Then you can stay here for a while. Anyway, our time doesn't flow in these planes, so it's not a waste of time."
Ye Zhou sighed: "I want to go back to see my parents as soon as possible."
Sarah said bluntly, "It's not like your parents will miss you."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Sarah didn’t think she had said anything wrong: “When you go back, it will be like you never left to them.”
Ye Zhou: "That's the truth. I miss them."
Sarah: "Do you have any pictures of them? Take a look at them."
Ye Zhou looked at Sarah, who had an innocent look on her face. Thinking of Sarah's deformed family, Ye Zhou didn't say anything else.
He asked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to go back and fight with your brothers for the family property? Don't you want to go back?"
Sarah shrugged and said with a relaxed look, "I can deal with them anytime I go back. My mother is not stupid. Those properties are just carrots hanging in front of my brothers. When I go back, I will kill my brothers first, then kill my mother, and then all those things will belong to me."
A great filial daughter.
Ye Zhou: "Are you so sure?"
Sarah raised her chin: "Of course."
Sarah: "Boss, don't think too much. Just treat this as a trip. Your parents won't run away from your original plane. You can stay in any plane as long as you want. Have you traveled before?"
Ye Zhou shook his head, but he had no regrets: "I used to work part-time whenever I had time, but I was fighting for my dream, so I didn't feel bored or tired."
On the contrary, because I often work part-time in supermarkets, I have accumulated a lot of experience.
"Then don't leave yourself any regrets now." Sarah said, "Anyway, wherever you are, I'll be there. No matter what you want to do, I'll be there."
Ye Zhou was stunned. He felt that he and Sarah didn't talk very often, so how could they act like such close friends?
Ye Zhou was "flattered" and could only say, "Thank you."
Sarah waved her hands. "It's too polite to say thank you. By the way, Boss, I don't think Zou Ming is actually of any use. I can do everything he can do, but he can't do what I can do."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Sarah looked at Ye Zhou sincerely: "He asked for a higher price than me."
Ye Zhou finally said: "I am quite rich now, there is no need to save money like this."
Sarah was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll ask you next month."
"Do you have a grudge against Zou Ming?" Ye Zhou realized for the first time that the previous competition between Sarah and Zou Ming might not be due to their good relationship, but because of their bad relationship. He asked, "Has he ever offended you?"
Sarah nodded: "He is not a good person. He wants to steal...stole things from me."
Ye Zhou frowned: "No way? Zou Ming doesn't look like that kind of person."
Zou Ming should not be the kind of person who would snatch things from a "child". Although they all knew that Sarah was not a child, it was a bit outrageous for an adult to snatch things from a vampire who looked like a child.
Sarah said angrily, "He just robbed it! I told him to get out, but he didn't leave!"
Seeing Sarah was about to explode, Ye Zhou immediately changed the subject: "There is something I need you to do."
Sarah stopped losing her temper and calmed down instantly. She looked at Ye Zhou, narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
She seemed to think this was too blunt, and added: "I'll do it if you say so."
Ye Zhou sighed. He didn't know when Sarah learned to speak sweet words, but she said them in a very stiff way.
One could tell she had rehearsed this for a long time, so Ye Zhou said, "I'll give you a raise starting this month."
Sarah: "Will Zou Ming's salary increase?"
Ye Zhou: "...He doesn't rise."
Sarah was satisfied, and Ye Zhou continued, "There is a person in the team brought by the merchant from Weiguo who I am very concerned about."
Sarah: “Who?”
Ye Zhou: "His servant, the taller one."
"That person seemed to want to talk to me several times, but he didn't say anything." Ye Zhou, "He seemed to know me."
"It's not that they know me, but they know that I am now a part-time prime minister of the State of Chen."
Sarah: "Let me go find him?"
Ye Zhou nodded: "Can you turn into a bat?"
He hadn't seen Sarah transform into a bat yet.
Sarah was stunned. She lowered her head and seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally saying, "Okay."
Ye Zhou said excitedly: "Can you let me see it?!"
He had never seen Sarah as a bat.
Sarah hesitated and said, "Then promise that you won't be scared."
Ye Zhou: "Absolutely not!"
Sarah looked at Ye Zhou again, prepared herself mentally for several seconds, and finally squatted down slowly.
Ye Zhou watched Sarah being enveloped by a black mist.
Not long after, the black fog gradually dissipated.
The little bat that Ye Zhou imagined in the TV series did not appear.
Flying in the air was a bat that was the same size as a seven or eight-year-old child, or even bigger. Its wings could wrap around a child when spread out.
It has deep red eyes and black fur.
Its huge body makes all the details on it magnified.
Ye Zhou: “…”
He was frozen with fear.
