How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 519 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (22 pages)
Mingmiao had many concerns.

But this did not prevent her from setting off for Tiandu with Zhu Wen.

In Zhu Wen's words—

There must be a way to the front of the mountain.

big deal...

Go to Tiandu and just steal the Immortal Spirit Fruit!
The day before departure.

Zhu Wen and Ming Miao went to say goodbye to Manager Wang.

I hope you will remain as polite as when we first met.

"I've been bothering you these past few days, shopkeeper. I can't take most of these gifts with me, so please help me with them."

Manager Wang remained expressionless, still immersed in the news that Lord Zhu Wen was leaving.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Mingmiao had to speak up to remind him:

"Manager Wang? Manager Wang?"

Manager Wang seemed to have come back to life, like a petrified statue.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, looking utterly dejected.

"I didn't expect you two to leave so soon. I thought I could continue to serve Lord Zhu Wen for a while longer."

This was the first time Zhu Wen had heard of someone who was unhappy being a boss and preferred being her housekeeper.

She joked:
“Alright, if Manager Wang is reluctant to leave, he can come with us to Tiandu.”

The casual remark was overheard by Manager Wang.

"Is it really possible?"

Shopkeeper Wang's face twitched with excitement.

Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment, then said:
"If you'd like..."

"I do! Of course I do!"

Manager Wang wished he could cut out his heart to prove his sincerity.

Zhu Wen thought about it and realized that Manager Wang had indeed been a capable assistant these days.

In particular, he handled her complicated interpersonal relationships, various visiting cards and gifts with ease, saving Zhu Wen a lot of effort.

For example, at this Tianjiao Conference, if Manager Wang hadn't found the invitation to Zhu Wen among the mountain of visiting cards, Zhu Wen would probably have had to find a way to buy a spot to participate.

Now that he has such a capable assistant as Manager Wang, Zhu Wen feels extremely happy, as if he has an all-around secretary!

"In that case, I, Old Wang, will shamelessly become Lord Zhu Wen's steward..."

"How is that possible?"

Zhu Wen's outright denial made Manager Wang hesitate.

He tentatively asked:
"It doesn't seem right to start as a butler right away. How about I start as a servant?"

"I don't need this."

Zhu Wen waved his hand, directly rejecting Manager Wang's suggestion.
"Just become my secretary."

What was this called in ancient times?

Zhu Wen racked his brains but couldn't remember, but Manager Wang, a top student from Zhongzhou Academy, did.

"Secretary? Could it be the Secretary-General? An assistant official in charge of receiving memorials from the Minister?"

Although the Five Continents are now filled with numerous sects, there have been dynasties that changed hands in the past.

In the better colleges on every continent, there is a niche history course that studies these strange and unusual past events.

Shopkeeper Wang happened to be very interested in this, which is why he remembered the story behind it.

Zhu Wen listened for a moment and nodded:
"That's roughly the idea. Basically, it's equivalent to elders or deputy sect leaders in a sect. We can't mistreat our partners in the early stages."

Although she didn't have the ambition to expand and strengthen the business, she still had to have the vision.

She raised her hand and patted Manager Wang on the shoulder, offering some encouragement.

Manager Wang was incredibly excited.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhu Wen waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing. From now on, I'll call you Secretary Wang."

"Uh-huh!"

Manager Wang then realized that he hadn't introduced the man's name.
"By the way, sir, my name is Wang Batian."

Zhu Wen's expression stiffened slightly.

"what?"

She thought she heard wrongly.

Shopkeeper Wang introduced himself quite seriously:
"Wang Batian means 'domineering' and 'heavenly'."

He probably realized his name was a bit out of place, and awkwardly touched his nose.
“My name used to be Wang Tieniu, but when I went to Zhongzhou Academy, everyone else had nice and impressive names, and mine was the most rustic. So I talked to a friend and we changed my name. Over the years, I’ve gotten used to it.”

Zhu Wen controlled his expression and nodded earnestly:

"Hmm, a good name, a very good ambition!"

Shopkeeper Wang realized Zhu Wen was serious and smiled broadly:

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

After that, he went to deal with the aftermath of the inn and prepare for the trip to Tiandu. He was so exhausted that he could barely walk.

He would explain very seriously to anyone who asked.

Lord Zhu has accepted him; from now on, he will be Lord Zhu's secretary!
That's right, not a butler, but a secretary!

The steward is a servant, but the secretary is an official!

That's different!
Manager Wang... oh no, Secretary Wang strode out the door with his head held high.

He found a partner and was prepared to sell his shares to him at a lower price, but the other party clung to him and refused, saying that he would find another manager to run the business and only begged Secretary Wang not to abandon his partner.

Secretary Wang knew that this man had no regard for their years of cooperation. If he hadn't seen how capable Manager Wang was at business, he would have already found other, more powerful families to invest in and squeeze him out.

However, it was all in the past, and Secretary Wang was too lazy to dwell on it. He simply agreed to the other party's request and also asked for more dividends from the shares.

Then, turning around, he happily found Zhu Wen:
"Sir! We're rich! We don't even need to rent a car to go to the heavens, let's just buy a boat!"

He immediately spilled the beans, telling everyone how his partner had given him money.

Zhu Wen's expression was strange:
Why should I tell you this?

Secretary Wang looked completely at ease:

"My things are adults' things, and of course adults should know that!"

Zhu Wen sighed.

How should I put it? Although this world is a world of cultivation, its ideology is extremely corrupt and feudal. In some places, slavery still exists, and there is no concept of equality for all!

Therefore, Zhu Wen earnestly explained to Secretary Wang that his things were his things and had nothing to do with her, and that he didn't need to ask her to handle them.

Secretary Wang seemed to understand but not quite.

After a long pause, he said somewhat guiltily:

"But they're only doing this because of you..."

Zhu Wen waved his hand and said:
"So what? You deserve it!"

Zhu Wen has always been generous and would never stoop to such petty concerns with those around him.

We should all make money together, that's what makes us happy!

and many more!

Secretary Wang said how much money he received.

Zhu Wen refreshed my understanding of the property of an inn.

Of course, she didn't change her mind and take away Secretary Wang's property or anything like that.

She just felt like she was a little poor.

Secretary Wang's assets have doubled, almost catching up with hers.

She couldn't keep living off her savings like this; she really wanted to buy the flying boat that Secretary Wang had mentioned.

Oh right, is there still a forgotten piece of wool she hasn't had time to fleece yet?
