Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 157 Paving the "Yellow Spring Road"

After a warm afternoon meal, Chu Xingchen coaxed Xin Baoer onto his warm kang and coaxed her to sleep before getting up to deal with official documents.

Xin Baoer overslept again. When she woke up, it was time for dinner. As a result, she couldn't fall asleep at all that night. She lay in bed, thinking about her future plans boredly.

You know what, it actually gave her some idea.

She had been chatting with Chu Xingchen for so long during the day, giving Chu Xingchen advice. Apart from those who had left, there were still many people under her command who were waiting for her to assign tasks.

It seems that matter should be put on the agenda.

The next morning, Xin Baoer got up late again as expected, but it was already past the eighth day of the New Year and the dog emperor had already gone to work, so how could Wei Yu, the cold-faced instructor, let her go?

After being forced to do morning exercises and being beaten up by that brat Chu Duanhong, Xin Baoer felt like she had lost all desire to live.

"Ayu, you don't mind going on a business trip, do you?" Xin Baoer's beautiful little deer eyes flashed with brilliance.

"If I leave, who will protect you?" Wei Yu asked with a sneer.

"Let Dongxia come over for a while. The main reason is that I don't feel safe leaving this matter to others." Xin Baoer looked more serious.

Xin Baoer walked to Wei Yu and whispered a few words. Upon hearing this, Wei Yu knew that the matter was of great importance, and the expression on his face became more serious.

"Okay, I know. I will complete the task and come back as soon as possible." Wei Yu promised.

That night, Wei Yu left with enough money. Not long after Wei Yu left, Dong Xia also moved into the courtyard in disguise. Ling Niang also came with her.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Ling Niang knelt down as soon as she came in.

After experiencing the previous incident where he acted on his own initiative, it was as if the whole person had calmed down. The impatience in him had disappeared, and he looked even more indifferent and cold.

"Don't be nervous. I have something for you to do. Uncle Lin is not young anymore, so you can do the errands as much as possible. But if you are unsure about something, you should ask him for advice."

"If my grandfather and his family were still alive, they would have arranged a respectable job for him and arranged for him to have servants around him. But now the conditions do not allow it, so I can only let him worry about it for a few more years."

Xin Baoer thought of the man who looked energetic but was actually old, and her eyes looked at Ling Niang with a little more meaning.

This is probably the true portrayal of the saying “children are debts”.

When Lingniang heard Xin Baoer say this, her eyes darkened. How could she not know that her father's health became like this because of her. She was so unfilial in the past. She must help her father share more of the burden in the future.

"Ling Niang would like to thank the master for his consideration on behalf of my father. Just tell me what to do and I will do my best to complete it."

"Here is a decoration plan. We can't keep wasting the abandoned house at the entrance of the tunnel. We have to make back the investment. Take a look at it first."

Ling Niang solemnly took the drawings and plans handed over by Xin Baoer and read them carefully word by word.

"Master, do you think it would be too risky to build this place into our base in the future?" Ling Niang asked with a frown after reading it.

"This manor is divided into two parts, the open manor and the hidden manor. We mainly manage the open manor. I want to turn it into the largest entertainment city and the most free intelligence trading market in Shengjing.

Of course, the intelligence organization of Heqilou will be stationed in the dark village. With them covering our forces, I believe no one will doubt it. "Xin Baoer smiled brightly and said with confidence.

"Heqi Tower, the one with the Giant Crocodile Island behind it?" Seeing Xin Baoer nodded, he asked again: "Doesn't Heqi Tower not make friends with any forces?"

"Don't worry about that. I have my own channels. You just need to do your part."

Xin Baoer smiled mysteriously, then changed the subject and said seriously: "It must be completed in one month, can you do it?"

Ling Niang did not answer immediately, but looked at the drawings carefully again before nodding and saying, "It's a bit rushed, but it can be done."

"We have to let some of the border bosses experience the new experience of a big news explosion!"

"By the way, while we are renovating, we also need to train our staff. No matter if they are waiters or handymen, all the staff in the manor must abide by one iron rule, which is not to participate in any intelligence transactions, not to matchmake, not to act as a middleman, and not to listen, look, smell, or ask about other people's transactions."

Xin Baoer's voice was more serious than ever before. Lingniang was shocked when she heard the words and knelt down and kowtowed in response.

Xin Baoer sneered in her heart. This was the "Yellow Springs Road" that she had painstakingly paved for her own side. She hoped that after it was completed, the various forces would not let her down.

Ling Niang took the order and left in a hurry. When Xin Baoer had some free time, she remembered that she had not yet told Chu Xingchen about the Heqi Tower. She quickly went to the kitchen to prepare the snacks and tea that the master liked, and ran to offer them as offerings.

"Madam, Master Yifan and I are discussing something inside. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."

When she reached the door, she was stopped by Wangchuan. Xin Baoer smiled and nodded, waiting quietly at the door, and even took two steps back on her own initiative, keeping her sense of propriety very well.

"Is that you, Bao Er? Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Before Wangchuan raised his hand to knock on the door, a man's clear and loud voice came from the study. Wangchuan was no longer in the mood to complain about his master's cheap behavior, so he pushed the door instead of knocking, and respectfully made a "please" gesture.

Xin Baoer did not hesitate, as she was a frequent visitor to this study. She thanked for the tray and walked in steadily.

"Eat something and take a rest, two busy people." Xin Baoer's voice became more gentle as she asked for help.

Chu Xingchen quickly put down the documents in his hand, took the tray from Xin Baoer steadily with one hand, and naturally took the little girl's hand with the other hand.

"Why did you bring it over in person? My hands are cold."

"They are all busy. I'm the only one free." Xin Baoer let him lead the way and replied with a smile.

"My sister-in-law is so thoughtful. She just took care of me when I was thirsty and hungry due to being exploited by my cousin." Mo Xuan Yifan snatched the tray, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, acting as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Xin Baoer was amused by him and started laughing. Chu Xingchen could only shake his head, speechless at his rogue look.

The three of them sat down, and Xin Baoer asked, "What were you talking about before?"

"Nothing. It's just what we discussed before. Yifan and I are discussing it. After the 15th, Yifan will go to various places to make arrangements." Chu Xingchen did not hide anything and explained everything to Xin Baoer.

Xin Baoer thought for a while before asking, "What arrangements do you have for Heqi Tower?"

"The world is in chaos now, and treasures are even harder to find. But fortunately, with the token of Heqi Tower, we can travel among the countries and support the auction. Does my sister-in-law want Heqi Tower to send your people out?" Mo Xuan Yifan continued.

Xin Baoer shook her head. "Heqilou has a bad reputation. Although no one has touched anyone from Heqilou, there must be many people watching them. They cannot have any relationship with Heqilou, at least not openly."

"However, it's still possible to take advantage of the power of another." Xin Baoer smiled cunningly and elaborated on the plan she had told Ling Niang in detail.

"Sister-in-law, are you trying to attract hatred? Putting all the projects for making money quickly together, how many people will be offended?" Mo Xuan Yifan said exaggeratedly.

"If I don't do it, I won't die. Anyway, it will be fine as long as it can last for two years. I don't do business for the poor. The more ill-gotten gains, the better." Xin Baoer said calmly.

Mo Xuan Yifan was shocked by her calm and almost ruthless tone, and did not speak for a long time.

Chu Xingchen felt a little depressed. It was because he was not strong enough that Baoer had to work so hard for him.

"The owner of Heqi Tower will also come to Beijing on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. Ask him to cooperate with you then." Chu Xingchen's voice was a little lower than usual, as if he was suppressing some emotion.

Xin Baoer and Mo Xuan Yifan both felt it, but no one spoke to comfort him. Mo Xuan Yifan understood him, but Xin Baoer didn't understand why he suddenly became so sad, so she didn't know how to comfort him.

After finishing the serious business and getting a satisfactory result, Xin Baoer did not stay any longer and left happily.
