Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

The next day.

Guo Jia truly deserves to be hailed as a remarkable man of his time.

Early in the morning, after waking up from the alcohol, he went straight to the Sikong Mansion.

He told Cao Cao about the wine and the brewery exactly as they were.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately cleared out the previously abandoned training ground.

As for Yingchuan, the people there are even easier to contact.

Guo Jia's reputation in the entire Yingchuan region is second to none.

With just a shout, he could attract a large number of followers.

The people and the place were arranged perfectly in just one day.

All that's left is to get everyone here and then start work.

"Jingming, I truly never imagined you possessed such talent!"

"Truly a business prodigy!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After everything was settled, Cao Cao summoned Su Chen and praised him highly.

This time, he also specially invited Cao Ang and Qinghe to sit on either side of him.

"You flatter me, Minister Sikong. This matter could not have been accomplished without the help of Fengxiao and Minister Sikong."

"It's difficult for me to do it alone."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

"Zixiu, take a good look."

"What does it mean to be humble and modest, and to avoid arrogance and impetuosity?"

"Jingming clearly possesses extraordinary talent, yet he never boasts about it."

"You should learn from him."

Cao Cao turned to look at Cao Ang, his expression serious.

He now only hates that Su Chen isn't a member of the Cao family.

Cao Cao originally thought that Cao Ang was already excellent enough.

He was an outstanding figure among his peers in military strategy, archery, and horsemanship.

But compared to Su Chen, he was always a step behind.

Cao Ang couldn't say anything either, and could only respond with disjointed words.

Compared to others, he might feel resentful.

But compared to Su Chen, he felt there was no suspense at all.

Let alone in modern times.

Throughout history, few have possessed such extraordinary talent as Su Chen.

Although he was just over twenty years old, his knowledge and vision even surpassed those of the strategists in Cao Cao's camp.

It's astonishing that he has such a talent for business.

Who can compare to that?

"Jingming, have you been enjoying your time with Qinghe these past few days?"

Just then, Cao Cao suddenly spoke up.

This immediately made Qinghe's face turn red, and she couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

It resembles a flower bud about to bloom.

"It was a very harmonious time."

Su Chen smiled calmly and said:

"The girl from Qinghe is exceptionally intelligent and gentle; she is truly a rare find in this world."

Although it was just a polite compliment.

But for some reason, Qinghe's heart beat faster when she heard Su Chen's words.

Being inexperienced in such matters, she had no idea why.

I just think this feeling is very peculiar.

"That's good, that's good!"

"When Qinghe's mother returns soon, I will definitely make sure she meets you."

"Jingming is so outstanding, she will surely be overjoyed to see you."

Cao Cao smiled broadly and spoke leisurely.

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it down in one gulp:

"Did Jingming see Pi'er and Zhi'er during your last trip?"

What are your impressions of these two people?

Su Chen was taken aback at first, not knowing whether Cao Cao's words had any hidden meaning.

After smiling slightly, he said:

"Although the two young masters are young, they are very intelligent."

He will surely become a talented person in the future.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"Alright, Jingming."

"Why be so polite with me?"

"How could I not know what kind of people these two are?"

After saying this, Cao Cao sighed softly and said:

"Although Pi'er is young, he is deep in thought and has an extremely eccentric personality."

"As for Zhi'er, although he is intelligent, he is too playful and will surely make mistakes in the future."

"If only they were even half as good as Zixiu!"

Although Cao Ang was Cao Cao's only designated successor to his great cause.

But which parent doesn't hope their son will become a dragon and their daughter a phoenix?

This shows that these two boys will definitely not be as easy to deal with as Cao Ang in the future.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Su Chen couldn't help but give a bitter smile to himself.

It turns out that Cao Cao had already noticed the character flaws of the two men at this point.

Cao Pi's personality was quite eccentric.

After taking power, his first target was his maternal relatives, and he drove his two brothers, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, out of Xuchang.

He will never be able to return to Xudu.

The reason is simple: Cao Cao favored Cao Zhi too much, which caused Cao Pi's personality to become somewhat distorted.

However, it's best not to say those words aloud.

We should leave the Cao family's affairs alone for now if we can avoid doing so.

Anyway, Cao Ang is still around, so no matter how much these two fight, they can't cause much trouble.

"What is the unspoken meaning behind Sikong's words?"

Su Chen asked directly.

If you don't understand, just ask. Why make so many guesses?

Cao Cao immediately laughed heartily:

"If others are as insightful as you are, then you should just be as honest as they are!"

"I have something I'd like to ask of you, Jingming."

"I intend to have these two study under you for a period of time."

"You should try to change their personalities."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's face immediately showed a troubled expression.

"What? Jingming, you won't agree?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Su Chen shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"I have no objection to this matter."

"However... this matter concerns the Sikong family."

"Now I am merely a minor clerk under the command of the Minister of Works."

"If we get directly involved, we will definitely face criticism."

Having said that, Su Chen slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and said:

I'm not afraid of rumors or gossip.

"The main concern is that this matter might affect Sikong's side."

Cao Cao slammed his hand on the table and snorted coldly:

"Let's see who dares!"

After saying that, he seemed to realize something, and his expression became serious:

"However, Jingming, what you said makes sense."

"But resolving this is very simple!"

"Once you marry Qinghe, you will be a member of the Cao family!"

"At that time, who will dare to utter a single word of gossip?"

This was exactly what Su Chen was waiting for.

Qinghe's face was now flushed crimson with embarrassment.

"Father, what...what are you saying?"

Su Chen straightened up and patted his chest, saying:

"Please rest assured, Master Sikong."

"The affairs of the Sikong family are my affairs."

"I will personally handle this matter."

Cao Ang, who was standing to the side, almost spat out his water.

Good heavens, he could hear Su Chen calculating on the abacus even from this far away!

Cao Cao, however, did not take it to heart and said with a smile:

"Then this matter will be left to the aftermath of the Battle of Xuzhou."

"Once we take Xuzhou, we'll arrange your marriage!"

"Qinghe, do you have anything to say?"

Qinghe pursed her thin lips and whispered:

"Son...no."

Seeing Qinghe, who is usually quirky and clever, acting like a little girl in this situation.

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart:

"That's good, that's good!"

"Zixiu, you will stay with Jingming for the time being."

"Watch carefully and learn well!"

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

He had no reason to refuse.

Just then, Su Chen slowly spoke:

"Minister Sikong, I have another request."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao raised an eyebrow:

"No need to be so polite! Please speak freely!"
