Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 305: What, Chapter 134, you want to climb into Grand
However, it should be nothing.
Thinking this, Chen Jie said, "Hmm, it’s fine, you’re the housekeeper, do as you wish."
Su Yunjin imdiately said, "Thank you, husband, I’ll take her down first while you continue your discussion."
Su Yunjin said, "Hong i, let’s go."
Yin Hongi bowed her head and followed Su Yunjin out, and all the maids outside revealed envious looks. Who was this maid; she had gained the Lady’s favor on her first day and beca a personal attendant.
Lucky girl.
But they only glanced briefly, with so turning their heads back towards the house.
One of the maids, who was clearly very beautiful, had a different look in her eyes.
How can a maid rise above her station and gain the Lady’s favor?
Wrong, gaining the master’s favor is the real step up.
This maid’s na was Cuiju.
Her origin was from a minor official’s household, her mother being his personal maid who later beca a concubine and gave birth to her.
Her status was imdiately elevated.
Later on, due to so issues in the officialdom, her father was executed and his property confiscated, and the female family mbers were enslaved.
After several transfers, she ended up in Mianshui County and was bought by Peng Fu.
The maids bought for Chen Jie by Peng Shizhong were all of high quality, proficient in various skills, and therefore this maid was also brought into the household.
How could a maid of such origin remain satisfied being just a maid forever? She set her sights on the master of the house, who was vigorous and vigorous.
If she could get into the master’s bed and be favored by him, maybe bear him a son or a daughter in the future, wouldn’t she be able to ascend to the status of a concubine?
And once a concubine, wouldn’t her tactics easily manipulate the Lady from a modest background, even twisting her at will?
Such a woman from a modest household had never experienced the vicious competition in a grand mansion.
And she had learned many dirty tricks of grand mansions from her mother. When the ti ca, hehe...
All of this would be mine, mine!
The beautiful maid’s eyes were filled with a fla called ambition.
And Chen Jie was her prey.
Just like Third Miss Hua had said, once n beco wealthy and powerful, there are countless won like moths to a fla, fixating on him and trying to snatch him away.
That is the true nature of this world; won are attracted to strength, when you are strong enough, chasing won is as simple as having a al.
When you are weak, won won’t even give you a second glance.
What reflects a man’s strength or weakness?
Power, money, and in this world, martial arts prowess!
Chen Jie, through his unrelenting efforts, had transford from a detested gambler in Mianshui County to a recognized figure in Mianshui County.
In this process, naturally, more and more won fell in love with this man.
Perhaps it wasn’t Chen Jie they loved, but his power and influence!
But it didn’t matter, there would definitely be more and more won, spreading their legs, hoping to use their bodies to climb the social ladder. The beautiful maid Cuiju was the first, but certainly not the last.
And all of this Chen Jie was unaware of, and of course, he didn’t need to know.
All he needed to do was to indicate his desire, or his disinterest, when necessary.
At his status, would he lack won?
Now, Chen Jie was only focused on advancing his career, dealing with won... unless dealing with won was equivalent to advancing his career, like Mrs. Huang~
Inside the house, Chen Jie and the other two began discussing the next steps.
Today they had already discussed the basics outside, but the upcoming tasks required a series of specific actions.
And now, Chen Jie’s job was how to expand his influence, and most importantly, he lacked solid followers.
Chen Jie thought this and then instructed Xiao Hu, "In the next few days, you guys first go gather Zheng Chuan’s and Fourth Brother’s previous forces. Together, they should number three hundred, but since so may have defected to the eldest, gathering two hundred would suffice."
"Once these two hundred are assembled, find a way to identify a few loyal ones for promotion."
"Then seize control of Yongchang Street, the Big Vegetable Market, and the Nan Lake Salt Field to build up our strength. I always feel that the eldest will strike us one day."
Hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "Jiu Si, from the case with Zheng Chuan, the eldest is a venomous snake; we must guard against him!"
Chen Jie nodded and said, "The eldest is indeed troubleso, but let’s play steadily and see the situation first."
Zhou Chu said, "Can’t we strike first?"
Chen Jie, hearing this, replied, "Acting now isn’t advantageous for us; we don’t have enough solid followers to control the whole White Tiger Hall, and it’s too forced. Besides, even though we know the eldest is a venomous snake and a battle is inevitable, how would we explain it to our adoptive father?"
Zhou Chu was startled and said, "Yes, the old man has lost two sons in succession recently; he must be in great agony. I feel quite sorry looking at him."
Indeed, Peng Shizhong was greatly affected by the deaths of Second Brother and Fourth Brother.
He visibly aged a lot. If a few more adoptive sons died, one would really worry the old man couldn’t bear it.
Moreover, Chen Jie didn’t have a reason to deal with Feng Xuan now. If Feng Xuan captured an opportunity and reported it back to Peng Shizhong, Chen Jie, Zhou Chu, and the others would go from being justified to unjustified.
Besides, striking Feng Xuan wasn’t a guaranteed victory at the mont.
Chen Jie said, "Now, we need to stabilize our own base, then find a way to catch the eldest’s weaknesses, while being cautious of the traps he might set for us."
