Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

The Pei residence, backyard.

Pei Yu lay on the sandalwood couch, crying so hard that her face was covered in snot and tears.

Grandma Pei took a handkerchief and wiped his face, sighing anxiously.

"Oh, my ancestors, why must my grandson suffer like this!"

Pei Chongyue sat in the armchair with a furrowed brow.

He looked up at his eldest grandson, who was crying uncontrollably on the soft couch, and after holding back his anger for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Stop howling! Explain yourself!"

The teacup was placed down heavily.

Pei Yu was so startled by the sound that he hiccuped and sniffled.

Then he recounted in detail what had happened in the bedroom of the Gu family mansion.

From Gu Mingli pretending to be a cat towards the emperor, to making gestures, winking, and giving seductive glances.

Not a single shot was cut.

"Grandfather, Young Master Gu... to save me, he actually did such... such an offensive and seductive thing in front of the Emperor!"

Pei Yu covered her face, her voice filled with a sense of bewilderment and despair.

"Those techniques are so skillful that even the top courtesans of the Imperial Music Bureau would line up overnight to watch and learn from them!"

"Grandfather... your grandson... your grandson really can't learn it!"

As he spoke, he also carried a genuine sense of shame and inferiority.

Pei Chongyue had no interest in paying attention to his grandson's grievances.

After listening to the description of Gu Mingli, he squinted and stroked his goatee.

He took a deep breath.

In an instant, his entire demeanor became shrewd and composed.

"This Gu Mingli... is extraordinary."

Pei Chongyue stood up, walked to Pei Yu, and looked down at his grandson who was still wiping away tears.

"His Majesty, a man of such decisive and ruthless nature, tolerated Gu Mingli's outrageous behavior before him, without even uttering a single word of reprimand. What does this signify?"

Pei Yu was stunned.

Tears still clung to the corners of my eyes, and my mind began to work sluggishly.

"This shows...this shows that Gu Mingli is shameless."

Pei Chongyue raised his hand, intending to slap him.

Pei Yu was so frightened that she hid in her grandmother's arms.

Pei Chongyue sighed, frustrated and disappointed.

"This means that Gu Mingli may very well have become His Majesty's bedmate! Pillow talk can have a powerful effect. This concerns the royal family's reputation, so you must not speak carelessly in private."

"It seems the money we gave to the Gu family as a token of our respect wasn't wasted."

"More importantly, you insulted the emperor to his face twice, yet the emperor was still willing to employ you and put the task of transporting grain on your shoulders."

He turned around and his gaze fell on Pei Yu's face.

"This shows that our Pei family is also quite good-looking, it's just that His Majesty isn't interested in you."

"...Luckily, I'm not interested in you."

"However, this time our family has found the right big shot to rely on."

Pei Yu nodded repeatedly, her back straightening involuntarily.

Pei Chongyue turned to look at the night outside the door.

"From now on, you must treat Gu Mingli with respect. You must not show that you know about his relationship with His Majesty. Silently maintaining his relationship with His Majesty is maintaining the relationship between our Pei family and His Majesty."

Pei Yu nodded vigorously.

"Grandfather, don't worry! I definitely won't go around saying I know he's having an affair with His Majesty!"

Pei Chongyue nodded in relief.

He turned and walked to the window, his voice becoming somber.

A surge of vitality welled up in his eyes.

"Yu'er,"

His voice was filled with emotion, and his tone carried a hint of earnestness.

"Put away that arrogant air of a young master from a noble family and bury it at the bottom of your trunk."

"Work hard for Master Gu. Pujitang is not a simple trading company."

"Those logistics parks and canal transport will be powerful tools that can directly shake the foundations of powerful clans throughout the land."

"Our Pei family is not what it used to be; now we must firmly stand on His Majesty's side."

At this point, a deep and ruthless glint flashed in Minister Pei's eyes.

"The minor officials in charge of collecting taxes and silver from the government along the way should all be replaced with our own people."

"This is the time for the Pei family to show their loyalty to His Majesty. Grandson, go ahead and do your best; your grandfather will pave the way for you."

Pei Yu sat up straight, her eyes still red, but her fighting spirit was high.

"Grandfather, rest assured! Your grandson will definitely bring honor to the Pei family!"

The following morning, at the suburban logistics park.

Gu Mingyue stepped down from the carriage.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a neatly dressed, spirited young man jogging towards her.

Three servants followed behind.

One person was holding a cup of tea, another was holding a cup of pastries, and yet another was holding a palm-leaf fan.

"Good morning, boss!"

Pei Yu ran up to Gu Mingyue, stopped steadily, bent down, offered tea with both hands, and put on a warm, bright, and flawless professional smile.

"The boss is taking a sip of tea to soothe his throat, and that's it for another energetic day!"

His voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

The main character is a new employee, embodying the essential self-cultivation required.

Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow, took the teacup, and took a sip.

This secretary is good.

She didn't have time for pleasantries; she put down her teacup and strode into the construction site.

"Go and call Mr. Lu and Manager Qian. We'll have a meeting in the main workshop after a cup of tea."

"receive!"

Pei Yu immediately got to work.

……

After a while.

Inside the main work shed, Lu Qinghe and Qian Dajiang sat on either side.

Gu Mingyue walked to the main seat and sat down. She glanced at the three of them and spoke crisply.

"Today we will allocate the core business tasks for the remainder of the year."

She looked at Lu Qinghe.

"Master Lu, go to the vacant land next to the logistics park and set up a shipyard."

"At the same time, we issued a high-salary recruitment notice to recruit shipbuilding craftsmen from all over the world."

"Whether it's someone who came from an official kiln or someone who started out from the common people, as long as their skills are excellent, their wages will be 30% higher than the market price, and they won't be allowed to pay a penny less."

Lu Qinghe had grown accustomed to Gu Mingyue's decisive and efficient work style.

He nodded in agreement and quickly took notes.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll have the manpower and venue ready within a month."

Gu Mingyue said in a deep voice, "Twenty days."

Lu Qinghe was taken aback and looked up at his employer.

Then he quickly looked down and crossed out the record, and changed the date.

"Received! To be completed within twenty days."

Pei Yu listened from the side.

He swallowed hard.

This girl is so scary!

Gu Mingyue's gaze then turned to Qian Dajiang.

"Manager Qian."

"Yes, boss!"

Qian Dajiang was tense all over, sitting upright with his back straight.

He clenched his fists and placed them neatly on his knees, his eyes fixed intently on Gu Mingyue, waiting to receive his task.

Gu Mingyue said, "Take inventory of the existing canal boats. Based on the peak canal transport volume in previous years, list the required number of canal boats and the manpower and transport capacity required for maximum dock turnover."

"Yes, boss!" Qian Dajiang readily agreed.

Gu Mingyue waved her hand.

Lu Qinghe and Qian Dajiang received their assignments and immediately went out to get busy.

In the end, only Pei Yu remained waiting inside the room.

Gu Mingyue's mind was racing with calculations.

The entire shipyard setup, including the site, manpower, and equipment, would cost approximately 100,000 taels of silver.

There are still 200,000 taels of silver left in the account as a task balance.

She turned her head and looked at Pei Yu.

Pei Yu immediately straightened her back.

He imitated Qian Dajiang's posture meticulously, placing his hands neatly on his knees, his eyes burning with determination, ready to receive orders at any moment.

Gu Mingyue looked him over, somewhat satisfied.

For newcomers to the workplace, it's not that you don't know anything, it's that you're not proactive enough.

This energetic state is something she is happy to see.

and so……

She assigned Pei Yu an easy, beginner-level task.
