Chapter 19: Are You Trying to Teach Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Sheng looked at the busy people in the courtyard and gave them an order.
“Don’t accept any more jobs for the next few days. Leave some men behind.”
Confusion appeared on Zhao Feng’s tanned face as he scratched his head.
“Boss, didn’t you say that it’s none of the Shen family’s business?”
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he immediately felt a gaze boring into his face.
He shrank back and tried to say something, but he didn’t dare to speak loudly, so he could only mumble.
“It’s the truth. You’re just a free laborer, providing both manpower and money. How much money would you make if you don’t go to the escort agency?”
Zhao Feng’s family had many children, so no one cared about him. He headed out to seek adventure at a young age, but he never met any good people.
Three years ago, he met a tough guy and was almost killed by him. At that time, Gu Sheng, who was passing by, saved him. After that, he followed Gu Sheng with all his heart.
Even so, he had some unanswered questions. If Gu Sheng was so capable, why would he work so hard for that empty shell?
After hearing Zhao Feng’s words, Gu Sheng stared at Zhao Feng and laughed coldly.
“What is it? Are you trying to teach me? Why don’t you take charge of this bodyguard agency in the future?”
Zhao Feng swallowed deeply, and his legs went soft.
“No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare. Boss, don’t make fun of me. I was just rambling, just pretend you didn’t hear me.”
Gu Sheng ignored him. He turned to look out of the window.
At the next second, Gu Sheng’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He put down the teacup in his hand.
He did not plan to hide, nor did he want to pretend that he had not spotted them.
Gu Sheng met Shen Li’s eyes and said in a calm voice, “Shen Li.”
Shen Li had never spoken to Gu Sheng before. When they met in the residence, he would only nod at her. He did not expect the two of them to meet under such circumstances.
However, since Gu Sheng had called her name, she could only step forward and meethim.
Shen Li stood outside the window and hesitated for a while. In the end, she chose a more polite way to address him.
“Uncle Gu.”
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the hat on her head.
“Where are you going?”
The corner of Shen Li’s mouth twitched. Just because she called him “Uncle,” did he really think of himself as her elder?
Shen Li answered, “I snuck out to buy some servants from the broker.”
After she finished speaking, Shen Li looked at Gu Sheng. “Your turn.”
Gu Sheng did not play by the rules. He directly checkmated Shen Li.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already found some men.”
Shen Li nodded, her expression pointedly impressed. Since Gu Sheng did not seem interested in sharing anything, she decided to start throwing blunt questions.
“So, Uncle Gu, you… You’re drinking tea here? Do you know the boss?”
No matter how cunning Shen Li was, she was not as cunning as an old fox. How could Gu Sheng not know what she was trying to ask?
Gu Sheng only chuckled. He looked at her and said coldly, “I’m the boss.”
…
Shen Li walked home in a daze. Her mind was a mess, and she was in a foul mood.
But someone just had to pour salt on the wound.
Shen Jiao had spotted Shen Li from afar. Although Shen Li was wearing men’s clothes, only a blind man would fall for it.
How could she not recognize her?

When she thought of the loss she incurred at the clothes shop and limelight that was stolen from her on the mountain, Shen Jiao shook with rage.
She stood in front of Shen Li and covered her mouth and nose with her hand as she spoke, looking disgusted.
“Oh, why did you go out like this? Has the palace run out of proper clothes?”
Shen Li took a deep breath, then raised her head, revealing a dazzling smile that could blind people. She replied with a question of her own.
“Why didn’t you go to the Yihe cloth shop? I heard they imported some good quality fabric.”
