money player

Aunt Xi's lips curled up, but her eyes were dull. She put on a sophisticated smile, "Amin, thank you for your kindness. My family is poor, and we are not in urgent need of money. If you really want to help me, please introduce a job to A-Di. I would like to thank you in advance."

The gentleman once said that when it does not involve your own interests, you should not easily interfere with the freedom of others. In other words, eat less salt and worry less.

Good advice does not persuade a damned person. Just advise him to do his duty as a neighbor. There is no need to be persistent or pestering.

Aunt Xi said so, Wang Xiamin did not persuade her any more, but just said: "Aunt Xi, I am planning to organize a Min singing group recently to sing at the opening ceremonies of restaurants and businesses.

A-di has a bright voice and is a good candidate for singing. How about letting A-di learn singing from me and sign a five-year life and death contract. The first two years will be as an apprentice. She will eat and drink with me, and I will give her 300 yuan a year for living expenses.

The next three years will be considered as my assistant teacher, and any profit will be mine, while A-di will get a fixed amount of 1,000 yuan per year.

After the period of being an apprentice, you can come and go freely. "

As soon as Wang Xiamin finished speaking, Aunt Xi quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, it's a blessing for A-di to learn opera from you, A-min."

Aunt Xi was not lacking in simple wisdom, and the accounts were easy to work out. A-di was still young, and she would start as an apprentice wherever she went. She was provided with food and drink, and was paid 300 yuan a year, which was not a low salary. Moreover, it was paid annually, not monthly. This made sense, as the "living expenses" were for the family, not for A-di.

Three hundred for the first two years, one thousand for the next three years, adding up to three thousand six. After she finishes her apprenticeship, we'll see if A-di has become a cash cow. If she is, we'll keep her at home to earn betrothal gifts for my younger brothers for a few years. If not, we'll promise her to others and collect some betrothal gifts. It's a win-win situation anyway.

Wang Xiamin nodded slightly, "Aunt, when A-Di finishes school, ask her to come to the Xian Mansion to find me."

After the matter was settled, Wang Xiamin left Shek Kip Mei and returned to the Xian family.

He did not enter Building No. 1, but entered Building No. 4 of Cen Peipei. The dormitory of Xian Yaowen's personal secretary Quan Danru was arranged in this building.

Xian Yaowen wanted this personal secretary because of Quan Xu. When he was in Hong Kong, he could bring Quan Danru with him. It would be fine if he was on a business trip. The greatest value of this was that he could save travel expenses by not having to bring Quan Danru with him.

However, because of this reason, I cannot be careless when executing the task. I have to take Quan Danru's emotions into consideration, and I cannot let her do whatever she wants when Xian Yaowen is not around. Her schedule is filled with various learning courses, including cooking, tea making, massage, clothing care and matching, banquet etiquette, etc. I have to learn all the skills that a competent personal secretary should master.

To put it bluntly, Xian Yaowen treated himself as a guinea pig, giving Quan Danru the opportunity to learn on the job. Today she is a personal secretary, and tomorrow she will transform into a wealthy wife who supports Quan Danru's career.

To put it bluntly, Xian Yaowen used Quan Danru as a tool for the marriage, allowing Quan Xu to get the bulk of the benefits of the marriage, while he only got a small share of the benefits.

To put it nicely, he knows very well what kind of wife a successful man needs, and he will build Quan Danru in that direction. The relationship may not be perfect, but life will definitely be happy.

As Xian Yaowen's housekeeper, Wang Xiamin naturally has to help him with auxiliary work. She has to take care of things that he can't take care of, such as maintaining the relationship with Quan Danru.

It happened that Quan Danru was taking a self-taught wine tasting class, and Wang Xiamin joined him. The two of them shook their red wine glasses and chatted about personal matters.

On the other side, there were guests visiting at 999 Oxley Road.

It was Yang Peiyun. Xian Yaowen did not go to the reception room downstairs to entertain her, but asked Huang Zhenzhu to bring her into the study.

We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be too polite. Xian Yaowen did not put down the book in his hand, but just looked up and saw Yang Peiyun sitting opposite him. He put his eyes back on the book, "We just met two days ago, and it seems that we have talked about everything. You didn't call me first, but came directly to my house. I think it must not be because you have a conflict with your lover, and you came to me to fulfill the agreement we once made to sleep together."

Yang Peiyun spat lightly, "Who made an appointment to sleep with you?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled and turned the pages of the book with his index finger. "I proposed it at the beginning, and you didn't object, which is equivalent to an agreement. But... I can't do it today. Something happened this morning, which made me a frightened bird. In the next few days, I plan to cultivate my character, put my weapons in storage, and stop hunting for a while."

Hearing this, Yang Peiyun became interested in finding out, "What happened?"

"If I say something unpleasant, it will pollute your ears, so I'd better not say it. Just talk about your thing and I'll listen."

Yang Peiyun glanced at Xian Yaowen's forehead, suppressed her curiosity, and after a moment's deliberation, she said, "An acquaintance of mine is also planning to start a singing stage, and would like to find you to cooperate with him."

"Where?"

“In Xingzhou.”

"Oh." Xian Yaowen nodded slightly, "You don't need to tell me about this, go talk to Yi Xin."

"The identity of this acquaintance of mine is quite special, I must tell you."

Xian Yaowen raised his eyes to look at Yang Peiyun and said calmly, "Who is so special?"

Yang Peiyun smiled slyly, "Guess."

"Give me a hint."

"You know, woman."

Xian Yaowen didn't know many women in Singapore, and even fewer who might have had a connection with Yang Peiyun. Using the process of elimination, he was left with two names: "Fong Yi-wah or Lee Wai-wang?"

Yang Peiyun couldn't believe it and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Xian Yaowen smiled faintly, "Which one?"

"Fang Yihua."

"Did it be Fang Yihua who came to you to tell you, or Fang Wenlu?"

"Fang Yihua."

Xian Yaowen was silent for a moment, took a cigar from the cigar box, lit it, and then walked to the window. Yang Peiyun followed him with her eyes, and after a while, she followed with her footsteps and stood next to Xian Yaowen.

Xian Yaowen turned his head to take a look, then reached out his hand to Yang Peiyun's waist and held her in his arms.

Yang Peiyun's body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to resist, but Xian Yaowen's young and explosive body pressed against her. She felt numb all over, and the thought of resistance instantly disappeared. She snuggled into his chest like a little bird.

Xian Yaowen rubbed Yang Peiyun's waist twice, "When did you meet Fang Yihua?"

"After the opening of the Xianle Getai." Yang Peiyun changed her head to a more comfortable position, raised it slightly and said, "I have already talked to him about holding a wedding banquet."

"Oh, tell me the date as soon as possible after you decide so that I can make arrangements in advance. You should be aware of Fang Yihua's identity?"

“Everyone in the new world doesn’t know about it.”

"Then do you know that I have business dealings with Run Run Shaw?"

"know."

Xian Yaowen tapped his fingers gently on Yang Peiyun's waist, "Does Run Run Shaw know that Fang Yihua wants to open a singing stage?"

Yang Peiyun shook her head, "I don't know."

"You've given me a difficult problem. It's not good for me to get involved in this matter. You should go find Yi Xin and arrange for her to meet with Fang Yihua. Whether they cooperate or not, just pretend that I don't know."

"Are you worried that Run Run Shaw might have an opinion?"

"It's hard to say what Run Run Shaw's attitude is towards Fang Yihua opening a singing stage. If Run Run Shaw supports it, we should give him face. If Run Run Shaw doesn't agree in his heart but just doesn't say it, it's easy to backfire."

Xian Yaowen slid his hand down and patted Yang Peiyun's hips, "Boss Yang, be more alert and responsible in the future. You are the one who calls the shots at Xianlegetai, and some things should be resolved by you."

Yang Peiyun understood the threat from Xian Yaowen and felt a little regretful for being so clever. She had actually thought of what Xian Yaowen said, but she was just a middleman and she had secured the favor, but the trouble had little to do with her.

She nodded gently and said, "I didn't handle this matter well. I will pay more attention next time." (End of this chapter)
