Chapter 504 Effective Management of Subordinates
Ye Qing'an nodded casually, still thinking about the secret she had just learned from Ye Qinghao.
Was Ye Huajin killed by Yi Yunkui?
If that's the case, then it's understandable that Ye Qinghao can still pretend to be completely unconcerned when working for Yi Yun Kui, since Ye Qinghao is quite the actor.
But Yi Yun Kui... Yi Yun Kui clearly knew that Ye Hua Jin was Ye Qing Hao's sister. After doing such a thing and killing Ye Hua Jin, why did Yi Yun Kui still dare to continue using Ye Qing Hao? Wasn't he afraid of Ye Qing Hao's revenge?
Or is it because Yi Yun Kui doesn't know that Ye Qing Hao already knows about this?
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly, and she narrowed her eyes. Very good. If that's the case, then she has grasped another secret. Moreover, she can use this secret to extract more unknown secrets from Gu Duo and Yi Yun Kui.
Thinking this, Ye Qing'an smiled, a smile so beautiful that Jiu Xiao was stunned: "You...you...you...what are you laughing at? Please stop laughing like that, it's kind of scary."
Good heavens, if he were a human being, a man, he would be smitten with Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an's appearance is just too good-looking.
It's a pity that he's a black-hearted and ruthless person inside.
Sure enough, he had no resistance to beautiful things. When Ye Qing'an smiled like that, he felt that he could forgive her terrible behavior.
"What are you laughing at? I'm laughing because I've discovered something extremely interesting."
Ye Qing'an stretched out her hand towards Jiu Xiao: "The potion."
Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue and quickly handed over the potion to remove the human skin mask. Ye Qing'an took off the human skin mask and said, "Since Ye Qinghao didn't find anything wrong, then there must be no problem. I'll wear it again tomorrow to see Gu Duo."
The next day, the weather had turned cold, and a stove was lit in the house. Ye Qing'an watched as Eleven practiced calligraphy.
Eleven lay sprawled on the table, tossing aside a newly written sheet of paper: "Mother, what does it mean that few are willing to be subservient to others? If one fails to manage them properly, they will either commit a crime or usurp the throne?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and picked up the words Eleven had copied: "You're copying the 'Luo Zhi Jing'?"
"Yes." Eleven o'clock nodded: "Father made me copy it. He said that the Four Books and Six Classics are just for casual reading, but the likes of Luo Zhi Jing will be more useful to me in the future."
Ye Qing'an clicked her tongue lightly. Is Yi Moxu really determined to groom Eleven into a high-ranking person?
Ye Qing'an glanced at the sentence that Shiyi copied and said, "This sentence means that there are not many people who are willing to be subordinate to others. If those in power do not have a plan or strategy when managing those in power, the result will be either that those in power resist those in power, or that those in power deprive those in power of their authority."
Eleven blinked: "Does this mean that one must be skilled in managing subordinates?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. You're quite clever; you can even apply what you've learned to other situations."
Eleven chuckled, "Mother taught me so well. However, I feel that this is easier said than done. Being good at managing subordinates doesn't mean you can use the same methods on everyone. You have to treat them differently and develop different approaches based on each person's personality and characteristics."
After Eleven finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Thinking about it this way, I feel that being in a position of power is actually very tiring, but why do so many people still want to be superior to others? Don't they find it tiring?"
"It is indeed tiring, but whether you are in a high position or a low position, it is tiring. Do you think the maids who sweep the courtyard are not tired? They have to think about how to serve the steward and the master well, otherwise, if the person above is displeased, they can take their life."
"Aren't the farmers on the estate tired? They have to think about how to make sure they have enough to eat, how to improve their harvest, how to deal with sudden conscription and cruel officials, and the heavy taxes every year..."
"That's true." Eleven rested his chin on his hand, looking worried. "Being a person is tiring."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Yes, being a person is tiring. But for those in power, at least they can hold life and death and power in their own hands and protect those they want to protect as much as possible."
Eleven nodded repeatedly, looked down at the book in his hand, and said, "I understand. I will study hard, strive to improve myself, and protect my mother well."
Ye Qing'an smiled and ruffled Eleven's hair. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Zi Xiao's voice from outside: "Miss."
Ye Qing'an's smile faded: "Come in."
Zi Xiao walked in from outside the door and said in a low voice, "Miss, a lot of rumors have suddenly appeared outside, saying that because you have been promoted to the Supreme Being, the Emperor and the Crown Prince are secretly trying to win you over, intending to promise you a great reward and have you do things for them."
These rumors were all part of her plan, and she remained calm upon hearing them: "Is that so? Then let them spread them."
Eleven continued copying, while Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the paper in front of Eleven: "The person who should be most anxious about these rumors is not me."
“But…” Zixiao paused, then continued, “There are also some other rumors circulating in the city, about Miss and Doctor Xu.”
"Oh?" Ye Qing'an finally raised her head: "What did Xu Yixiu and I talk about?"
"It is said that shortly after Miss returned to the manor from the estate, she became involved with a physician who was a retainer in the manor. At first, it was just flirting, but later she openly stayed in Miss's boudoir all night. After that, she even brought that physician to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet at the Ye family manor. Shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, she even had that physician move into Miss's courtyard. They ate, lived, and went out together, and were very intimate."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly: "These rumors are quite well-founded."
“Yes.” Seeing that Ye Qing’an didn’t seem anxious at all, Zi Xiao calmed down a bit as well. “Many things in this matter, as well as some details of Miss and Doctor Xu’s interactions, should only be known to people in the manor. Including what happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet that day, the actual situation is not much different from what happened, and it has already spread outside. It should be someone from our manor, and probably someone who attended the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. In this way, the scope has been narrowed down a lot, and it shouldn’t be difficult to investigate.”
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "I don't need to investigate, someone else will."
Zi Xiao asked, puzzled, "Of course someone will investigate?"
Ye Qing'an nodded gently: "No rush, we should have results soon."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "Miss, the steward requests an audience."
