Unfazed by being exposed, Su Wen looked at Chen Siyuan and said frankly, "I overheard them talking about something earlier. I think the idea of finding Huoye was the young mistress's idea, right?"
"Oh?" What a clever mind.
It's unclear what Qiao Yuchen did, but it's obvious he didn't want too many people to know what he was doing behind the scenes.
"The young general might not even think of this." Su Wen and Qiao Yuchen are both too arrogant; they are rarely willing to use such a method of leveraging someone else's strength against them.
"..." Chen Siyuan smiled but didn't say anything.
She knew that denying it at this point would be pointless; on the contrary, she felt it was a sign of humility.
After finishing his tea, he looked at Su Wen and asked, "Lord Su, you must have heard about the Li family's affairs?"
"It's very strange."
"We all find it strange that we don't work together since we share a common goal."
"Isn't the way the young mistress is trying to do this a bit inappropriate?"
Chen Siyuan smiled, offering no explanation, and seemingly intentionally changing the subject, "Lord Su, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Go on," Su Wen said, assuming it was about the case.
It's fine if Chen Siyuan knows, even if others can't tell.
"What would you say if someone told Lord Su that you are capable?"
"Accept humbly." I've encountered this situation many times, and I don't understand what this woman meant by saying it in this context.
Chen Siyuan laughed, "I don't think that's the best way to put it. You should say, 'You have great taste.'"
"..." Su Wen felt as if he, a top scholar, had been slapped in the face by a woman.
"I think the only way is to draw the other person into the story and make them feel that they share the same fate."
Su Wen has learned a lot.
He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Siyuan.
Upon seeing this gesture, Chen Siyuan quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Su Wen has changed. He will not die young, and he will go further and further down this path. Chen Siyuan admires this good official who speaks for the people wholeheartedly.
Su Wen did not stay any longer.
After Chen Siyuan's words, he suddenly understood many things.
Sometimes it was right to persist, but persistent, exhausting persistence may not yield the desired results.
In the past, whenever he encountered such a situation, he would struggle with it for a long time.
Now, Chen Siyuan's words have made him understand a lot.
For something to succeed, it must achieve the desired results.
Only when all participants in a matter have something to gain can they work together harmoniously.
As with the situation in Huzhou, if it weren't for a community of shared interests, how could things have developed to this point?
In officialdom, one can easily fall into a trap. Sometimes, neither waiting nor climbing out on your own is the best approach. The most crucial thing is to have the ability to drag the other person into the trap or to get someone to pull you out. This is the best way to solve the problem.
Many things require methods and skills. Only by mastering these skills and adhering to one's bottom line can one handle things better and faster, ensuring that the final result does not deviate too much.
Chen Siyuan was telling herself that she had to be tactful in everything she did.
The Grand Secretary had reminded him many times before, but he always thought the Grand Secretary was too pedantic and materialistic. Now that Chen Siyuan had said it in a different way, he realized that the same thing could have different results depending on the method used.
Su Wen left excitedly, and Yang Lei came to her side.
Full of confusion, he asked, "Why did the young mistress say that just now?"
After spending some time with Chen Siyuan, Yang Lei gradually grew to enjoy following behind this woman.
I always felt that she was a person of great wisdom and broad vision.
This is the second person he admires.
“Su Wen is a good official, but he is too straightforward. In the treacherous officialdom, if he does not learn to be tactful, our Shang Kingdom will lose a good official long ago.”
Wang Yong happened to be passing by when he heard this.
He stopped, seemingly able to see the woman just a wall away.
I couldn't help but sigh. If Chen Siyuan weren't a woman, I wonder how far she could have gone in life.
...
Soon, everyone knew that Qiao Yuchen was still alive.
As for why it disappeared in Fuzhou and reappeared in Huzhou?
Many people feel that the Qiao family is omnipresent, like gods, and that they will appear around you whenever you need them.
People in Fuzhou often see Qiao Yuchen on the streets, and everyone who sees him stops to look at him.
Whether it was Qiao Yuchen's appearance or the Qiao family behind him, everyone looked at him with admiration.
Gradually, everyone began to notice that there was always a young man behind Qiao Yuchen.
He may not be as good-looking as Qiao Yuchen, but he's still a decent young man.
At first, everyone's attention was focused on Qiao Yuchen, but later it seemed that there were too many stories about Qiao Yuchen, so people gradually turned their attention to this young man.
At first, some people suspected that this person was Qiao Yuchen's follower. Later, someone started saying that the person was an official appointed by the imperial court.
The official appointed by the imperial court walked behind Qiao Yuchen; he must have been a very minor official.
As curiosity grew and more attention was drawn, people realized that the man was actually from the Dali Temple and was the previous top scholar in the imperial examination.
Top scorer!
Or are they from the Dali Temple?
At this time, some well-informed people realized that this person was actually Lord Su Wen of the Dali Temple.
This time, the entire city of Huzhou was illuminated.
Various rumors about Su Wen gradually spread.
