Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Suyuan paused, her expression stiffening.

Seeing that her expression was off, another maidservant added, "Your belongings and bundles have all been sent to your current courtyard."

Chu Suyuan twisted her fingers together under the handkerchief. She nodded and went into the side room, only to find that all the facilities inside had indeed been changed.

She only glanced at it before leaving, thus saving herself the trouble of agonizing over it.

She nodded gently to the maids who were watching her nervously in the courtyard, smiled warmly, and said, "Then you all go ahead with your work."

After saying that, he moved lightly to his own private courtyard.

……

Central Hall.

Chu Jingyu briefly told Chu Qinhui and his wife about attending the banquet in the county town.

Hearing that the Zhang family girl from Yuzhen was among the selected candidates,

Chu Qinhui sighed softly, "I didn't expect that someone from the Zhang family would be selected. The situation in the town may change again. If the Zhang family is well-behaved, that's fine. But if not, it will inevitably cause more trouble for our Chu family."

"I think the new head of the Zhang family is quite ambitious. Just you wait and see, it won't be long before his family makes some noise."

Chu Qinhui frowned slightly. "Should we prepare a contingency plan in advance?"

Chu Jingyu slightly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile, "They're just a family without any spiritual ranks. If we're constantly on guard, it'll be too stressful for the family."

"Assign more people to keep an eye on the Zhang family's movements and report back promptly. Our focus should remain on our own development."

"Yes." With his father making the decision, Chu Qinhui felt at ease.

Seeing that their conversation had paused, Jiang Nian spoke softly, "Father, what should be done with Chu Suyuan from now on?"

"After this matter is settled, I do have other arrangements for her. I will open a clinic in town and arrange for her to take two maids and servants to oversee it. From now on, I will treat her with the courtesy due to a guest of the Chu family."

As for her surname, whether she wants to change it back to her original surname is entirely up to her personal choice.

Such an arrangement is reasonable. She has a new identity, a more suitable job, and even a higher social status. It is not a waste of her efforts for the Chu family.

Jiang Nian nodded in agreement. As for the subsequent expenses of opening the new clinic, it was not a big deal for the Chu family.

"Xiao Fan, he's leaving the day after tomorrow. Prepare a banquet for him tomorrow night to give him a proper farewell. Go back and ask him if he wants to invite his colleagues."

Previously, if there were matters to discuss at home, Xiao Fan would definitely be present.

However, since Xiao Fan was about to leave home, Chu Jingyu didn't want household chores to distract him and wanted him to maintain a relaxed and happy mood before his departure, so he didn't have anyone call him over today.

Jiang Nian nodded and stood up, her face showing some urgency. "Father, I'll go talk to Xiao Fan first."

Chu Jingyu understood Jiang Nian's feelings. She was always very reluctant to part with her child who was about to go on a long trip, and she wanted to spend as much time with her child as possible these two days.

"Go."

After Jiang Nian left, Chu Qinhui pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Regarding the guest retainer you mentioned earlier, Father, shouldn't we create a ranking system and set up corresponding benefits? Shouldn't they be paid a fixed monthly salary for their duties at the medical clinic?"

"No, guest advisors are divided into two categories. One is like guards, who have fixed daily work but cannot create significant value. We give them a fixed monthly salary."

For those who work as doctors in clinics and have direct income, I'd like to offer a low base salary, with the remainder distributed according to a percentage of the clinic's monthly revenue. This would motivate them to work more effectively.

Chu Qinhui's eyes lit up. This was quite feasible. He would need to carefully consider the specific treatment when he got back.

Chu Jingyu looked at his son, who was grinning foolishly, and a trace of worry flashed through his heart. This son always seemed to do the right thing when he listened to others' advice or followed arrangements.

However, they lack their own opinions, have little initiative, are overly dependent on themselves, and are somewhat kind and soft-hearted.

However, this was also his own fault, because he was poisoned when he was young and had been in poor health for many years afterward, so he had to take care of everything for him.

He has never been exposed to too much hardship, and even now that he is much better, I still can't bring myself to let him see the bloodshed and turmoil of the outside world.

Fortunately, my lifespan has increased, allowing me to look after the Chu family for many more years. I have enough time to protect him and raise my eldest grandson to take on the responsibility of caring for the Chu family and protect Chu Qinhui for life.

Chu Qinhui was still silently calculating what kind of salary and distribution ratio should be set, and whether the guest retainers should also be subject to a grading system like the maids, so as not to make these guest retainers lose their ambition.

Little did he know the many thoughts brewing in his father's deep gaze, the thoughts that might have even been planning his future.

……

March 9, evening.

On this day, the Chu family mansion was brightly lit.

A banquet specially prepared for Young Master Chu Fan made all the maids in the courtyard extremely nervous.

This was personally overseen by the young mistress, who attached great importance to it. They dared not make any mistakes at this critical juncture.

A variety of delicacies were laid out on the table, but Chu Shengfan ultimately did not invite his colleagues. He only wanted to have a good meal with his family.

However, there were still outsiders present, such as Sun Chunchen, who sat in the upper seat, Xu Yinyue, who sat next to Chu Shenghan, and Chu Jingyu's adopted daughter, Chu Suyuan.

Chu Suyuan clearly hadn't expected to be qualified to sit at the Chu family's banquet today, and she looked extremely nervous. Chu Shenghan, who was sitting next to her, was very attentive and pulled her aside to speak softly, which gradually calmed her down.

Chu Jingyu tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention, and then slowly began to speak:

"Everyone here is a close relative of the Chu family. Xiao Fan will be leaving tomorrow. Brother Sun, I'm entrusting my grandson to your care."

Chu Jingyu looked sincerely at Sun Chunchen as he spoke, and then beckoned to Chu Shengfan, "Xiaofan, come here and kowtow to Grandpa Sun."

Without hesitation, Chu Shengfan kowtowed three times to Sun Chunchen.

"Oh, what is this all about? I was the one who brought this up, so of course I will take full responsibility for Xiao Fan. Why make the child kowtow?"

As he spoke, Sun Chunchen personally helped Chu Shengfan up.

"What's the big deal about kowtowing now? This kid will be serving you in the future. If he's not even willing to kowtow now, I'll teach him a lesson right now."

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Sun Chunchen smiled and pointed at Chu Jingyu with his finger, "You old man, now I have no choice but to do my best."

After everyone was seated again, the banquet officially began after Chu Jingyu made another announcement.
