"I did follow for a bit, but only dared to follow on the outskirts." Cai Youdao said, "But Boss, you know, although my injuries have improved a lot, and I can barely put on a front. It’s just impossible to sneak into the Prince’s Mansion to gather information. If those two True Immortals on the other side discover , I might lose my life."
After a pause, Cai Youdao eagerly added, "Boss, I injured my foundation this ti from pretending to be tough. Maybe you could give a raise, as compensation?"
"Hehe~"
Wang Shouzhe sneered and was genuinely too lazy to acknowledge him. He bypassed Cai Youdao and, a bit headachy, looked at Wang Baoguang: "Can’t you be more capable and do sothing decent?"
"Old Ancestor Grandpa, I am doing sothing decent." Wang Baoguang said innocently, "Doesn’t our Clan School encourage everyone to develop a career based on what they love most?"
Career? Is your career eating lon as a paparazzo and saring your own Old Ancestor?
Wang Shouzhe really felt like slapping him to end it once and for all.
Nowadays, with the large population of the Wang family, there are inevitably a few brats. But none of them are as bizarrely bratty as Wang Baoguang, who occasionally riles him up to the point of wanting to slap him.
However, Baoguang is ultimately his descendant, an extension of his bloodline.
Wang Shouzhe took a deep breath, controlled his tone to remain calm: "Since you like intelligence work so much, then report to Elder i next ti and go there to utilize your talents, at least it’s putting things to good use."
"I’m not going!" Wang Baoguang was startled and imdiately shook his head like a rattle, his tone unwavering, "I don’t like intelligence work. I only focus on ’restoring’ gossip anecdotes based on the emotional lives of big characters. Rember, when I was little, Old Ancestor Grandpa you said... that to do a career you need to be focused, not half-hearted... dreams are precious, don’t kill children’s dreams... it’s not hard to do one thing well; the hard part is doing it for a lifeti..."
"You can shut up now." Wang Shouzhe interrupted, annoyed, "Since you love emotional gossip so much, I’ll give you a chance. Do well and you can continue your dream; if not, you’ll go back to the family farm and work the fields for life."
Upon hearing this, Wang Baoguang’s eyes instantly shone brightly, patting his chest and saying, "Old Ancestor Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll complete the mission."
"Hmph, let’s talk when you’ve done it well." Wang Shouzhe casually took a pen and wrote down a few nas, handed them to Wang Baoguang, then waved his hand impatiently, "This task has so danger. Ask Old Cai to assist you, be mindful of safety. Go on, go on, don’t hang around in front of ."
"Alright~ Just wait for my good news~"
Wang Baoguang, feeling as though he received an imperial decree, imdiately pulled the bewildered Cai Youdao and ran out excitedly.
Once out of Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard, he couldn’t help but look up at the sky with excitent.
From today, he is no longer the man walking behind the light, but gossiping by decree~!
After they both had left, Wang Shouzhe involuntarily rubbed his sore temples in the study.
Finally arranged a suitable job for that slly kid Baoguang. Whether this rascal can succeed or not, at least this matter will occupy a lot of his energy, preventing him from constantly prying into Wang Shouzhe’s gossip.
...
In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight days have passed.
In the study, Wang Shouzhe was at the desk drawing and contemplating, sotis frowning, as if pondering and mapping out so grand sche.
An hour later, he finally finished his work.
Seeing this, Jiang Mu Xian, who had been waiting beside him for a while, imdiately brought up the prepared Level Seven Heaven Fat Spirit Rice porridge: "Young Master, don’t overwork yourself, have so snacks and take a rest."
Wang Shouzhe took the spirit rice porridge and sipped it, casually chatting with Jiang Mu Xian: "How’s the recent progress in actual combat cultivation?"
At the ntion of this topic, Jiang Mu Xian’s expression instantly beca indescribable, almost tearing up: "Barely managed to hold on for two joss sticks against Baoguang."
"Isn’t Baoguang supposed to be very busy recently?" Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised, "How does he have ti to watch over your cultivation?"
"He really is busy, every day leaving early and coming back late, don’t know what he’s busy with." Jiang Mu Xian’s eyes were blank, seemingly doubting life, said, "Yet even when he’s busy, he never forgets my combat training. Every day before dawn, he gets up for combat training, and only after beating does he go out... Before leaving, he repeatedly instructs to train well, and when he returns in the evening, he checks my howork... Then again, it’s another round of beating..."
Jiang Mu Xian didn’t know how he survived these days.
Wang Shouzhe’s lips twitched.
Unexpectedly, that boy Baoguang is quite responsible, striving to fulfill his dream while not forgetting his mission to diligently train Jiang Mu Xian.
And just then.
Jiang Jian Mu was outside requesting to et.
"Co in." Wang Shouzhe casually said.
Jiang Jian Mu showed so anxiety on his face, and as soon as he entered, he eagerly reported: "Young Master Shouzhe, sothing has happened these days that needs reporting to you. Suddenly, the two major grain rchants inside the Sacred City announced a price drop of twenty percent, causing our sales across various channels to plumt, and quite a few custors are asking for refunds."
A price war?
