Chapter 052: Integrating into Society
Such a repetitive lifestyle day after day, taking one step at a time, should not exist in a normal Zhang family member.
What’s more, Zhang Moyu was the head of the Zhang family before he fell asleep!
If a normal member of the Zhang family encountered this situation, they would immediately find a base to settle down, and then use their own abilities to find a way to win over a group of people to help them, while developing their power and developing spies to collect information, making plans before taking action.
As the patriarch of the clan, Zhang Moyu should have stronger organizational skills, a longer-term vision, and a better understanding of the family.
Seeing that there was no news from the Zhang family, he should have been able to guess the current situation, and then he would have been very foresighted to build a powerful organization to serve as a backing for the clansmen he would find later.
Zhang Qiling would not be surprised if Zhang Moyu could infiltrate the middle and high-level official positions in two years. It would be strange if he was still drifting like this, staying at home peacefully every day and wholeheartedly teaching him.
Passive resistance!
Zhang Qiling subconsciously thought of this word, but it didn't seem quite right.
Zhang Moyu's behavior is more like a stress response caused by not adapting to modern life.
Being in a stress response period, people have a negative attitude towards life, are often anxious and entangled, have reduced cognitive abilities, have unclear self-concepts, and are affected in choosing coping strategies and exercising their daily coping abilities.
Zhang Qiling felt that this should be the case, but Zhang Moyu usually behaved gently and slowly, hiding his true emotions under the surface of being kind to others, and did not show them obviously.
"He hasn't adapted yet. Please take care of him. Thank you."
Zhang Qiling's tone became unusually polite.
Xie Yuchen didn't know whether that person was not adapting to modern society. But now, after hearing what Zhang Qiling said, he felt very uncomfortable!
Normally he would just utter a few words at a time, but now Zhang Qiling suddenly spoke more and even said respectful words like "thank you for bothering you", which made Jie Yuchen feel inexplicably flattered.
"You're probably overthinking it, but since you've said so, as a friend, of course I'll help you."
In Xie Yuchen's understanding, "looking after" means keeping someone by your side and making sure they don't get hurt or get into any trouble.
Zhang Moyu looks like a martial artist, and his kung fu seems to be very advanced. So Zhang Qiling should be worried that Zhang Moyu doesn't understand the rules of modern society and does something that challenges the law?
Xie Yuchen was a little uncertain, but he knew that he couldn't get any details from Zhang Qiling, so he decided to keep the person with him first and see what the situation was before making any decisions.
Thinking about some of the information he had seen recently, he knew that he would be going abroad in a few days. The place he was going to was not very peaceful, so to be on the safe side, it would be better to hire some experts.
Xie Yuchen originally wanted to hire Hei Xia Zi, but he didn't expect Zhang Mo Yu to be offered now.
Xie Yuchen had previously heard Zhang Qiling briefly talk about Zhang Moyu's situation, and he knew that Zhang Moyu's identity and abilities were not simple.
If we hire him for this trip, not only will he ask for less money than Hei Xia Zi, he will definitely not be noisy and annoying, nor will he ask for more money in the middle of the trip, or take extra money from others behind his back. So in the end, he still makes the profit.
These days, the Xie family's jade business has been deliberately targeted, and the group of people who provide raw materials have also had some inappropriate thoughts. I don't know if it was a pre-arranged decision between the two parties, so he has to go there in person.
In the past, the Xie family had been importing jade raw materials from countries across the border and engaging in the reselling business of the cut and broken materials. Over the years, the route had been safe and secure, but a batch of goods that arrived last week was unexpectedly robbed.
The Xie family's market had been wrecked by the Sun family's agents, and they were in desperate need of good goods. Meanwhile, the goods were intercepted, and the rough stone manufacturers were being evasive, making false accusations, clearly stalling for time and looking like they were trying to raise the price.
All the bad things happened to happen together, which made it hard not to suspect that the two of them had secretly joined forces and conspired to make trouble for the Jie family.
At this time, Zhang Moyu finished washing the dishes and came over with a pot of tea. He poured two cups of tea and handed them to the two of them. He also poured himself a cup and drank it in small sips.
Xie Yuchen smelled the tea and could roughly tell that it was wolfberry and red date tea. He took a sip and found that some honey was added to it.
It's not very sweet, but has the unique aroma of honey.
However, he has never really liked honey. It's not that he doesn't like the taste, but the process of bees making honey always reminds him of things like civet coffee...
This tea is quite suitable for health preservation and is also suitable for these two truly elderly people, but it is not very suitable for him.
After taking a polite sip, Xie Yuchen put down the teacup.
He knew that the two men in front of him, one was a centenarian, the other an old antique who had crawled out of the earth. But looking at their naturally young faces that were similar to his, Xie Yuchen suddenly wondered if the Zhang family had been hit by a bug in the world. Otherwise, how could a family be filled with immortal handsome men?
After silently complaining in his heart, Xie Yuchen took the initiative to speak and told the two of them about the troubles the Xie family was facing this time.
He did not reveal that Zhang Qiling asked him to take care of Zhang Moyu, but only asked Zhang Moyu if he was willing to escort him on the trip. He could pay him according to the price Zhang Moyu paid for feng shui reading for those wealthy businessmen, and the price could be increased if any trouble occurred along the way.
Zhang Moyu didn't expect Xie Yuchen to ask him to be a bodyguard, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
The Zhang family hates trouble, and they hate even more this kind of thing that requires no skills and no brainpower!
However, when his eyes swept over Zhang Qiling, the words of refusal circled in his mouth twice and he swallowed them back.
Why did he feel that his son's expression seemed to want him to agree so much?
Could it be that the study tasks during this period are too heavy, and the child wants to relax and go out for a while, but is embarrassed to tell himself, so he finds a job for himself under the pretext of others and transfers himself away?
With a guess in mind, when Zhang Moyu looked at Zhang Qiling again, he imagined the Qilin cub sitting upright with a serious face and looking straight ahead, with its tail wagging wildly behind it.
Thinking of Zhang Qiling's learning progress that exceeded his expectations, and how he behaved obediently no matter what he said, Zhang Moyu's heart softened instantly, and a soft and loving smile appeared on his face.
The smiling eyes looked directly at Zhang Qiling, emitting the care from a warm elder.
"Xiaoguan, you have been studying very hard recently. I'm sorry that I didn't pay attention to adjusting my rest time. I was so focused on teaching you more that I forgot that you might not like this boring study life.
During this time, you can go out and have fun for a few days to relax, and we will have time to study the rest of the time."
