Chapter 311 You Want to Be My Father-in-Law?

Su Ning discovered that he not only liked beautiful women, but also had a hobby of collecting famous generals from the late Yuan Dynasty. Looking at Mao Gui in front of him, he liked him more and more and almost drooled.

The current Longmen Escort Agency has formed a series of rules. New "employees" must undergo one month of training. No matter what the "employees" did before, they can simply temper their temperament so that they can better integrate into the Longmen Escort Agency.

This time, Mao Gui came to Chuzhou to join Suning, bringing not only his own family, but also sixteen like-minded fellow townsmen and close friends, all of whom wanted to follow Suning, a fellow Shandong native, to seek a better future.

Seeing that Mao Gui was not reused by Suning, but was sent to some "training base", the brothers who came with him all stood up for Mao Gui, "Brother, this Suning is too contemptuous!

We came all the way from Shandong to seek refuge with him, but he didn't even give you a position as shopkeeper!"

"Haha, Erniu, there is no shopkeeper in Longmen Escort Agency. They call each other store managers." Mao Gui shook his head indifferently.

"Humph! What's the point of being a store manager or not?
Isn't it just a different name for the same thing?
Suning really looks down on us fellow countrymen."

"Erniu, don't talk nonsense!

This is the rule of Longmen Escort Agency. As long as we have the ability, we will definitely succeed.

Furthermore, the family members we brought with us were all arranged to work in the workshop of the Longmen Escort Agency, and they can also receive wages."

"Brother, do we really have to attend a month-long training and start from the bottom?" After hearing Mao Gui's reprimand, Erniu and others were still a little unwilling.

"Erniu, and all my brothers, you are willing to follow me, Mao Gui, and leave your hometown to come to Chuzhou with your families, which means you trust me, Mao Gui.

It is my great honor.

However, I ask you to trust me once more. I believe our boss is definitely not an ordinary person and will definitely give us a bright future."

"Brother, stop talking!
We all trust you!

Since you've decided to stay, the brothers won't hesitate to accompany you until the end! "

"Good! This is what a good brother is!
After arranging our families, let’s go to Dingyuan Donkey Brand Village to report!”

"What? Donkey Brand Village?"

"Yes! Longmen Escort Agency has already established a training base in Lupai Village.

New employees need to undergo a month of training before they can become full-time employees.”

"Ah? That's so troublesome!"

"Well! Trouble is trouble!

But the treatment at Longmen Escort Agency is very good. From now on, we can get a monthly salary of ten cents, including food and accommodation.

After one month of training, we will become official employees of Longmen Escort Agency, and our monthly salary will immediately increase to thirty cents. Killing a robber who robs the escort agency will be rewarded with an extra one or two taels of silver.

If injured, the Longmen Escort Agency will provide free medical treatment. If disabled, suitable jobs will be arranged. If killed in the line of duty, not only will there be a ten-liang silver pension, but also assistance in raising children until they reach adulthood, up to sixteen years of age.

"Ah? Big brother, such a good offer?

Could it be that the owner of Longmen Escort Agency is deceiving us?" Erniu and his brothers were all shocked.

"Haha, don't worry, brothers!

Our boss will never cheat you." Wu San, who had been silent until then, suddenly laughed. "And to prevent your superiors from withholding your wages, you all go directly to the bank run by the nearby Longmen Escort Agency to withdraw your money on a monthly basis."

"Ah? Is this true?" The fellow villagers brought by Mao Gui all looked at the unfamiliar Wu San in surprise, but their eyes were still full of vigilance and doubt.

“Brothers, this is our boss’s steward, Wu Sanwu.

After we finish our meal, Butler Wu will take us brothers to report to Donkey Brand Village in Dingyuan." Seeing the villagers' vigilance, Mao Gui quickly introduced Wu San's identity to everyone.

“Guys, I know you’re going to have questions.

But when the monthly salary is paid, won’t you all know everything?
We at Longmen Escort Agency are upright and will never mistreat our employees."

In this way, under the joint persuasion of Mao Gui and Wu San, the fellow villagers brought by Mao Gui went to Donkey Paya Village in Dingyuan with doubts, and started their magnificent life.

Lupai Village outside Dingyuan City was originally just a bandit's den, where a group of nearly 10,000 bandits lived all year round. There were nearly 3,000 middle-aged bandits alone. It was a force that could not be underestimated near Dingyuan City, and even the government of Dingyuan City did not dare to provoke it easily.

When the Longmen Escort Agency opened a branch in Dingyuan City, the Longmen Escort Agency headquarters in Chuzhou City also began to serve Dingyuan and Haozhou.

At the beginning, the bandits of Lupai Village did not dare to provoke the Longmen Escort Agency easily. After all, they were not familiar with the ways of the Longmen Escort Agency. However, as the Longmen Escort Agency grew and became stronger, it began to monopolize all the escort business around Nanjing. The bandits of Lupai Village could no longer bear the greed in their hearts and began to attack the escort team of the Longmen Escort Agency.

The battalion commander in charge of the areas near Dingyuan and Haozhou was Chang Yuchun from the Third Battalion. When he saw the ignorant bandits from Lupai Village, he immediately excitedly led 300 "employees" to rush forward. How could a group of bandits who bullied the weak and feared the strong be the opponents of the "regular army"? Under the attack of the leather armor and regular weapons of the "employees" of the Longmen Escort Agency, they surrendered directly to Chang Yuchun's Third Battalion.

After receiving the "battle report" from Chang Yuchun, Suning was pleasantly surprised and had the idea of setting up a training base. As the Longmen Escort Agency grew stronger, his own team grew in number and was always hanging around in big cities, which made the leaders of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty worried.

Although he kept corrupting them with gold, they always had a bottom line. Suning didn't want to expose his power so quickly, so a secret "training base" was necessary.

Suning directly ordered Chang Yuchun's Third Battalion to recruit the bandits from Lupai Village, and select a thousand high-quality young and strong men from them to be added to Chang Yuchun's Third Battalion and become "official employees" of Longmen Escort Agency.

Mao Gui and his group of sixteen followed Wu San to Lupai Village. They felt that this was a huge military camp with busy training scenes everywhere. Unlike other military camps that only trained once every ten days, there were training tasks here every day.

Mao Gui and sixteen others watched all this with curiosity, and then they were separated and scattered into various classes by the person in charge of the "training base" of Lupai Village, and did not receive any preferential treatment.

Soon the one-month training was over. Mao Gui lived up to everyone's expectations and became the squad leader. Five of his brothers who came with him also became squad leaders. Then they gradually accepted the life in Longmen Escort Agency.

There is a saying that goes, gold will shine wherever it goes. The outstanding performance of Mao Gui and others soon led to their promotion. Eventually, Mao Gui was promoted to the position of company commander and was assigned to Zhu Yuanzhang's second battalion as company commander.

Suning knew Mao Gui's outstanding performance and ability, but just smiled silently and did not continue to promote Mao Gui to the position of battalion commander. After all, Mao Gui still needed a suitable credit for the time being.

Suning has always emphasized fairness and justice. Although they believe in Mao Gui's abilities, it is still impossible to let him take a high position directly. He must be fully integrated into the Longmen Escort Agency so that he can move forward and conquer cities.

Placing Mao Gui in Zhu Yuanzhang's second battalion was also to allow Mao Gui to check Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition and prevent him from getting too carried away. Of course, when Mao Gui made great contributions, Suning would definitely hand over the first battalion to Mao Gui. Suning would not waste this great general in vain.

It was already the eighth year of Zhizheng, three years before the White Lotus Rebellion led by Liu Futong and Han Shantong. It would take at least until the thirteenth year of Zhizheng for them to truly form a huge force, which means it would take another five years to "shelter the wind and rain" for Suning's anti-Yuan cause.

Therefore, Suning has been struggling recently. Should it wait patiently for five years or immediately raise the first banner of resistance against the Yuan Dynasty? The pros and cons of both options are very obvious, which makes Suning unable to make a decision for a while.

After Liu Yifei coaxed the child to sleep, she found that her husband looked very worried, and then looked at Su Ning puzzledly, "Su Ning, what's wrong with you?
Why do you look so worried?"

"Hmm! I'm debating whether to revolt now or wait until Liu Futong and the others draw fire for us."

“Is that a big difference?”

“Yes! There is a huge difference!

If we were the first to raise the anti-Yuan banner, then we would naturally be regarded as orthodox. At the very least, the title could be based on our own wishes, and we would not need to be controlled by others in every way.

But if we do this, we will inevitably be attacked by the Mongol army!"

"But if we wait until Liu Futong and Han Shantong rebel first, I remember they failed at first, and it wasn't until the 13th year of the Zhizheng reign that they had any strength to fight against the Mongols. In other words, we still need to wait five years."

"This way we will lose a lot of opportunities. There will be countless uncertainties and variables in five years, and there will still be many troubles."

"Hmm! Your analysis is indeed very troublesome.

I can't help you with these decision-making matters. It's up to you to make the decision.

However, no matter which path you choose, Su Ming and I will support you without regrets!"

"Haha, you two are the source of my motivation." Suning couldn't help but happily hug his wife in his arms.

"Xixi, what do you think of Chen Boda?"

"Hmm! I feel like Chen Boda is a bit cautious.

But his help to our Su family is really beyond words.

In the beginning, you were just pretending to be a "fake monk" to help him and his father fulfill a wish, which can be said to be an insignificant thing.

But our ability to gain a foothold in Chuzhou City is truly inseparable from the help of the Chen family."

"Yes! So I'm ready to have a showdown with Chen Boda."

"Ah? A showdown? Isn't that too risky?"

"Haha, with Chen Boda's intelligence, he should have noticed our plan long ago, but he's just pretending to be confused."

"Then what if he refuses or secretly reports us?"

"Humph! Our family of three is the only most important thing in this world.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, I don't mind giving his family euthanasia!" Hearing his wife's concerns, Suning also revealed his cold and ruthless side.

"This"

"Xixi, don't worry!
Since I have decided to confront him, it means that it is a sure thing.

We must also have hidden power. No matter when we start to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, the Longmen Escort Agency will inevitably be exposed to the public.

The Longmen Escort Agency will be liquidated by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty at the earliest opportunity, so we need the power of the dark to obtain intelligence for us."

"Well! It seems that Chen Boda is really important to our Su family!" It was only then that Liu Yifei realized the importance of Chen Boda and the Chen family.

"Xixi, Chen Boda invited us to his house for a family dinner tomorrow.

I'll confront him then."

One of the reasons was that he urgently needed secret forces to ensure his intelligence. Another reason was that Suning had already set his sights on the salt farmers in the Jianghuai Salt Field. These salt farmers were the "violent soldiers" who were ready to die. If Suning could capture these salt farmers before Zhang Shicheng and his brothers, his anti-Yuan cause would be much smoother, and Chen Boda was definitely capable of helping him.

After more than two years of experience and growth, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the little monk who begged for food all over the world. He is now fully capable of scheming and cunning.

Although he has now been promoted to the battalion commander of Longmen Escort Agency, a big shot in charge of 500 "violent employees", he can still sensitively feel Suning's vague vigilance towards him.

As the time he spent with Suning increased, Zhu Yuanzhang became convinced that Suning had anti-Yuan intentions, and his own ambitions began to grow.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that if he wanted to stand out, in addition to having outstanding abilities, he also needed a force that truly belonged to him, so he had already had the idea of "calling friends".

Zhu Yuanzhang had mentioned many times to Suning, either explicitly or implicitly, that he wanted to go to his hometown of Haozhou to "recruit workers", but was rejected by Suning for various reasons.

After initially accepting it reluctantly, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but write letters to his brothers in his hometown of Haozhou, and tried his best to invite them to come to Chuzhou City.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not stupid, and of course he would not confront Suning directly, so in the letter he arranged for his brothers from his hometown of Haozhou to go to the "training base" of Dingyuan Longmen Escort Agency to apply for jobs.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's move was very clever. If Suning had not traveled from the future, Zhu Yuanzhang would have succeeded. However, as soon as Xu Da, Tang He and other strong men entered the "training base", they began to show their talents, and were no less capable than Mao Gui at the time.

Soon, the information of these tough guys was sent to Suning by the person in charge of the "training base". Looking at the names of the tough guys on the information, although Suning was a little unhappy because of Zhu Yuanzhang's little action, he still couldn't help drooling.

Su Ning suddenly realized that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang later became Zhu Yuanzhang was inseparable from Xu Da and other powerful men. He suddenly had the idea of conquering Xu Da, Tang He and others in advance. As long as he could recruit powerful men like Xu Da and Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang would always be Zhu Yuanzhang.

After a month of training, Tang He was directly assigned by Suning to be the squad leader under Yu Tingyu of the Water Camp. Xu Da was asked by Suning to be assigned to his own personal guard company. As for Zhou Dexing and others, they were also assigned by Suning to the first and third battalions.

When Zhu Yuanzhang did not get any old brothers to report, he knew that Suning had discovered his little trick. Then, Zhu Yuanzhang, whose scheming began to emerge, did not come to Suning to apologize, but worked peacefully as if nothing had happened.

"Xu Da, you've been at Longmen Escort Agency for quite some time now. Is there anything you're not used to?"

“Boss, I have no difficulty adapting to the situation. I feel that this place is very suitable for rough people like us.

Thank you, Boss, for allowing Xu Da's family to work at Longmen Escort Agency. Our lives are much better now than before."

"Haha, your abilities are outstanding, otherwise I wouldn't have let you be the platoon leader of my personal guard company.

So, you must do your best!"

"Yes! Boss!"

"Xu Da, I'm going to the Chen family for a banquet tomorrow. Bring a squad with me!"

"Yes! Boss!
I will definitely bring the ace squad of the Royal Guards."

"Yes! Tomorrow's banquet is very important, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Yes!" Xu Da was also a smart man and quickly understood what Suning meant.

With the protection of the powerful general Xu Da, Suning felt much more at ease, and then took his wife and son to the Chen family for a banquet.

After being welcomed into the Chen family by Chen Boda, Su Ning unexpectedly saw an unexpected person here, "Brother Li, when did you come to Chuzhou?
Why don't you come sit with me?"

"Haha, I know Brother Su is very busy, so I won't go over to disturb you." Li Shanchang explained with a smile on his face.

"Brother Li, what you said is wrong!
No matter how busy I am, as long as Brother Li comes to Chuzhou, I must make time to accompany him." "Haha, everyone, stop standing there!
Let's take a seat quickly!" said the host Chen Boda hastily to smooth things over.

After everyone was seated, because men and women were not allowed to sit at the same table, Liu Yifei took her son Su Ming and followed Chen Boda's wife to the inner house. Then only Su Ning, Chen Boda and Li Shanchang were left in the main hall.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the three of them were somewhat tipsy. Then Chen Boda signaled the maids to leave. Then Chen Boda said to Su Ning and Li Shanchang, "Brother Su, Brother Li, I recently got some excellent West Lake Longjing tea. Would you like to go to my study and try it?"

"Haha, that's what I want, no need to ask for anything!" Li Shanchang glanced at Su Ning, then agreed with a smile.

Su Ning didn't say anything because he had already discovered that Chen Boda and Li Shanchang also wanted to confront him. In fact, he was still very much looking forward to it. Li Shanchang alone could save him a lot of trouble.

The three of them came to Chen Boda's study. Chen Boda waved away all the servants and maids, and then personally made tea for Su Ning and Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang took the teacup and tasted it carefully, then looked at Chen Boda with a look of surprise, "Hmm! This tea is really good!"

"Haha, since Brother Li likes it, you might as well take two kilograms with you when you leave this time."

"Haha, why bother?

Why don't you, Brother Li, move to Chuzhou City and settle down there? Then the three of us brothers can often get together to drink tea and discuss philosophy.

How great would that be! "At this time, Suning suggested with a smile.

"This..." Li Shanchang looked at Chen Boda in surprise, then smiled at Su Ning, "Since Brother Su is talking about discussing the Dao, I wonder what Brother Su thinks of the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Great Yuan? I think Brother Li has more say than me!" Su Ning did not answer Li Shanchang directly. Instead, he looked at Li Shanchang meaningfully. "A talent like Brother Li has only been reduced to a minor official in Dingyuan County. Isn't this a waste of talent by the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Hehe, Brother Su, this is serious.

I am just a commoner, and being able to work as a minor official in Dingyuan County is already a blessing from heaven."

"Haha, there are only three of us in the study, why go around in circles like this?"

"Uh?"

"Brother Chen and Brother Li must have guessed what I was thinking. I wonder what your opinion of my chances of success are?"

"This..." Li Shanchang and Chen Boda looked at each other in surprise, and then Li Shanchang said with a wry smile, "Although the Mongols are rotten, they are still strong and terrifying."

"Hmm! Not bad! Brother Li, please continue!"

"If we wait until others raise the anti-Yuan banner first, and until anti-Yuan forces emerge in various places, the Mongols will certainly be in a difficult position to deal with.

At that time, Brother Su only needs to follow others, build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king. There will definitely be a 60% chance of success."

"Sixty percent? What if I raise the anti-Yuan banner first?"

"If Brother Su is the first to raise the banner of anti-Yuan, he will inevitably face a desperate counterattack from the Mongol Yuan court, and it will be really difficult to survive the counterattack.

So." Li Shanchang did not continue to talk about the chances of success, but he had fully explained the inevitable result of death.

"Haha, if I can resist the million-strong Mongol army, will I be able to succeed 100%?"

"What? Impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!" Li Shanchang and Chen Boda both widened their eyes in shock, looking at Su Ning with an expression that it was absolutely impossible, "Brother Su, do you know the strength of a million-strong Mongolian army?

That is an existence that can destroy heaven and earth, and no force can resist it."

"Haha, a million-strong Mongol army is indeed terrifying, but the logistical supplies they would consume are also terrifying, so the Mongol army will definitely not be able to stay together for long." After hearing the two people's rebuttal, Su Ning suddenly said confidently, "Also, I have my own methods to fight against a million-strong Mongol army, and there is a high possibility that I can directly destroy them."

"What? Brother Su, are you drunk?" Chen Boda swallowed in horror, then looked at Su Ning with a questioning look.

"Haha, I won't tell you the specific methods.

Take a look at this first!" Suning took out a pistol and placed it on the table in front of the two men.

Li Shanchang and Chen Boda had also seen the world. They had heard of and seen firearms that had been invented since the Song Dynasty. "Is this... a firearm?"

Suning did not answer the questions of Li Shanchang and Chen Boda, but picked up the pistol on the table again, opened the safety of the pistol, and fired directly at the tree trunk thirty meters away.

"boom!"

A gunshot that did not belong to this world rang out. Li Shanchang and Chen Boda stared blankly at the place where smoke was coming out of the tree trunk thirty meters away, realizing that there must be a small hole there.

The servants of the Chen family were running around in panic, and the Chen family members who were eating in the backyard also had a look of fear on their faces. Only Liu Yifei, who was holding Su Ming in her arms, showed a barely perceptible smile.

Soon, a servant of the Chen family came into the inner house to report that the master and his men were playing with a toy and asked everyone not to panic too much.

After hearing the report from the servants, the Chen family members seemed to feel much more relaxed, and Liu Yifei smiled even more because she knew that Suning was starting to show his power.

In the Chen family study, Chen Boda and Li Shanchang, who had reacted, looked at Su Ning nervously, "Brother Su, how many of these firearms do you have?"

“Haha, a lot!

Most of them are more powerful than this kind of firearm.

It's just that I don't want to use it easily, so I made some preparations in advance to fight against the Yuan Dynasty."

"My lord, Li Shanchang is willing to follow you to create the great cause of anti-Yuan!" Li Shanchang immediately bowed his head in worship, because he knew that if he hesitated for a moment, the firearm in front of him would make a big hole in his forehead.

Chen Boda saw Li Shanchang bowing his head, and then he reacted belatedly. He looked at Su Ning with fear, and immediately knelt before him. "My lord, I am willing to take the more than 200 members of the Chen family and follow you, life or death."

"Haha, great!
With your two helpers, my anti-Yuan cause will surely be much smoother." Suning laughed happily, then pulled out another pistol and handed each of them to the other two. "Come on! This is a welcome gift for you!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Shanchang and Chen Boda took the pistols with trembling hands.

“Haha, you’re welcome!

But we haven't started the anti-Yuan movement yet, so you'd better call me Dongjia."

"Yes! Boss!"

"Boss, this kind of firearm is extremely powerful and must never be handed over to others easily." At this time, Li Shanchang quickly entered his new role and expressed his concerns seriously.

"Yeah! I know about this.

The firearms in your hands are only pistols for close combat and self-defense. I also have a more powerful spear with an effective range of 800 meters, or 1,500 steps!"

"Ah? So far?" Li Shanchang and Chen Boda widened their eyes in shock.

“Haha, tomorrow I’ll take you out of town hunting so you can experience the power of firearms firsthand.

Only then will you have full confidence in my anti-Yuan cause."

"Yes! Boss!"

"Well! Now let me tell you about my plan!

Boda, I heard you also have business in the Jianghuai Salt Field?"

"Yes! I have the right to sell 6% of the salt from the Jianghuai Salt Works every year."

"Boss, are you interested in the salt farmers in the Jianghuai Salt Field?" Li Shanchang's heart moved, and he looked at Suning excitedly.

"Haha, Shanchang, you are really smart!

That's right!

I want to control all the salt farmers, and after the rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, I will be able to immediately control the entire Jianghuai Salt Field."

"Boss, this is a bit difficult!" Chen Boda looked embarrassed, because he was well aware of the profits of the salt industry and the huge implications involved.

"Yes! I understand what you are talking about, Boda.

But I have a plan, let's see if it works."

"Boss, please speak!" Li Shanchang and Chen Boda looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Suning with interest.

"Chen Boda can ask for an increase in the proportion of salt. In exchange, we can cover the expenses of all salt farmers."

"The salt farmers don't have much to spend, which is why they're suffering. So it's not certain that those with vested interests are willing to give up their share of salt production."

"Boss, do you mean that you don't care how much salt these people are willing to give, and your main goal is to take over all the salt farmers?" Li Shanchang once again understood Suning's idea.

"Yes! That's what I mean.

Anyway, the Jianghuai Salt Field is not going to escape, so as long as we completely control the salt farmers, the Jianghuai Salt Field will still be ours in the end."

"Yeah! Boss, I understand what you mean!

I will take care of this matter!" Chen Boda nodded after reacting.

"Well! There is another matter that is also very urgent.

Because the Longmen Escort Agency is now in the open. If we start the anti-Yuan campaign, the Mongols will definitely persecute the Longmen Escort Agency in various places as soon as possible.

Therefore, we urgently need an organization hidden in the dark to help us collect intelligence information from all over the world."

"Boss, this is simple!
The Chen family has restaurants and teahouses in various places, which can be used as intelligence gathering sites."

“Haha, very good!

Li Shanchang assisted Chen Boda in running the intelligence department, and we named this department the Jinyiwei.

"Yes! Boss!"

The Jinyiwei is a very important intelligence department. The reason why it was handed over to Chen Boda and Li Shanchang was because he had no one available at the moment. Chen Boda and Li Shanchang were only responsible for setting up the Jinyiwei. When he had suitable candidates in the future, he would immediately hand over the Jinyiwei to others.

In fact, Suning most wanted to assign Li Shanchang to the logistics work. After all, he had the ability to do so. However, Suning still wanted to observe him more. Now he had not officially rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and there was not much pressure on logistics support. Therefore, it would be more reassuring for him to leave all the logistics work to his wife.

After the big deal was made, Chen Boda and Li Shanchang seemed very excited. At this time, Chen Boda suddenly looked at Su Ning nervously, "Boss, our entire Chen family is in your hands.

So, can I make a small request?"

"Haha, go ahead!"

“Boda has a daughter who is fourteen years old!
Boda wants to marry his daughter to the landlord as a concubine!"

"what?
Chen Boda, I treat you as a brother, but you want me to be your son-in-law?"

"Eh? Please forgive me for not expecting to be brothers.

I only hope that my daughter can stay with the master."

"This girl is only fourteen years old, aren't you being too anxious?

Why not wait until your daughter is a little older? By then the situation will be clearer and it won't be too late to marry into our Su family."

“Master, getting married at the age of fourteen is not young anymore.

If we wait any longer, my daughter will be an older woman!"

"Yes! Boss!

What Boda said is true.
