Chapter 418 South Bay Authority
Chapter 418 South Bay Authority
The next morning, before daybreak, there were clanging and banging sounds coming from the side of the Ju Garden.
Jiang Huashan was woken up by the noise and covered herself with the quilt, yelling, "Zhang Ma!!!"
"Here I come! Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
Zhang Ru quickly ran out of the yard to check the situation.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but when she did, she was really scared.
A hole had been smashed in the courtyard wall at the side door, and even the flower path next to it was half filled up. The road surface was piled with red bricks and gravel. Several workers wearing gray vests were putting cement into the mixer one shovel at a time.
Zhang Ru looked confused. She trotted forward and gently patted the foreman on the shoulder. "Master, who asked you to build a wall here?"
The mixer was making too much noise, and the foreman couldn't hear clearly, so he immediately ordered his colleagues to turn off the machine.
"what did you just say?"
Zhang Ru pointed to the yard and said, "I'm the manager of this yard. Who asked you to work here so early in the morning?"
The foreman was stunned and scratched his head. "I don't know. We are just following orders."
Another brick cutter stood up, wiped his sweat, and said to the foreman in his local accent, "That's the one who asked us to borrow a forklift yesterday."
"Forklift?" Zhang Ru didn't quite understand. When she heard the word forklift, she immediately thought of Shen Lanxi who came to her house yesterday with a forklift as a gift. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be Young Master Lan Xi?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the foreman was about to continue working. Zhang Ru quickly dissuaded him, "Master, you are disturbing my young lady's rest by working at this time. This garden is so big, you should go do other things first."
"Well..." The foreman also knew that the people living in this garden were all nobles and should not be offended easily, so he answered readily, "No problem. Then we'll go when the young lady is going to the bathroom."
Zhang Ru said, "My daughter doesn't wake up until around 10 o'clock. She has to rest from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. And at night, we can't make any noise. She needs to meditate."
"What?" The brick-cutting craftsman was shocked. "Your daughter only has three hours of rest a day?"
Zhang Ru had become accustomed to Jiang Huashan's biological clock and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Yes."
The master looked at the foreman and complained in his hometown dialect, "Hey, you're still laying screws~"
"Shut up." The foreman frowned and elbowed his coworker, then smiled again when he looked up. "Okay. But... this wall is already halfway built. If it's not finished, will it be unsafe?"
Zhang Ru waved her hands. "What's unsafe about this? This backyard is full of nobles and young masters. Even if we tear down the wall, it will be safe."
When the foreman heard this, he immediately told everyone else to stop working.
"thanks everyone."
Zhang Ru was still thinking about the pot of soup in the kitchen. After dealing with the chef's business, she turned back to the garden. As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Shen Zhi.
"Butler Shen?"
Shen Zhi smiled and looked towards the side door. There was a pile of materials for building the wall, which was very eye-catching.
Zhang Ru immediately explained, "Oh, the foreman wants to expand the outer wall. I didn't want to disturb Miss Jiang's rest, so I asked them to come back at a different time."
After hearing this, Shen Zhi nodded and looked away.
Zhang Ru was very enthusiastic. "Why are you here? Does the old man have any instructions?"
Shen Zhi, "There was a little kid in the front yard crying and saying she was looking for you. I asked a few questions and she said she was your niece."
Zhang Ru's face changed slightly. "Little Grape? What happened to her?"
Shen Zhi shook his head. "That child refused to speak, and only said she wanted to see you. I saw wounds on her face and arms."
Zhang Ru was completely flustered. "Butler Shen, I... I'll go take a look."
Shen Zhi nodded, "I have arranged for her to stay in a remote little pavilion, you can go."
"Thank you, Butler Shen." Zhang Ru was in a hurry to leave when she suddenly thought of something. "I'll go tell Miss Jiang."
After saying that, she rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, hurriedly poured the soup from the stove into the casserole, then tiptoed up to the embroidery building, looked carefully for a while through the window crack, and after confirming that Jiang Huashan was still resting, she tiptoed down the stairs again.
"Butler Shen, let's go."
Shen Zhi was silent for a moment, his expression serious. "Xiao Zhang, you know the rules of Shen Garden. You must deal with your family affairs cleanly and this will not happen again."
Zhang Ru wiped her apron and said gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
As the door of the Chrysanthemum Garden closed, the door of the Bamboo Garden opposite slowly opened, and Lei Xing walked out carrying a kettle.
Seeing this, Shen Zhi walked through the flower garden and headed towards the bamboo garden.
Lei Xing had seen Shen Zhi as soon as he came out. Originally, he wanted to pretend not to see him and turn back, but seeing that Shen Zhi was already walking towards him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet him.
"Butler Shen."
Shen Zhi nodded, "How is Master A Ling's injury?"
The whip marks on Shen Guiling were inflicted by Shen Zhi. Although he was acting on orders, he still had to say hello to him when he met him to maintain his dignity.
Lei Xing's eyes flickered, "Very good."
I could climb the wall last night.
Lei Xing was a boring, honest man who couldn't even fart for a long time. Shen Zhi was used to it. He greeted him, nodded, and left the inner courtyard.
Lei Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the direction of Juyuan with a sad face.
It is immoral for the young master to like Miss Jiang. Should he support the young master's immorality?
Before he could figure it out, Mo Ran showed up with a stack of information.
*
Three minutes later, in the main hall.
Shen Guiling took the thick stack of information and placed it on the coffee table without even raising his eyelids. "Thank you for making such a special trip."
Mo Ran's gaze slowly shifted from the information on the table to the young man in front of her. What she had just handed to Shen Guiling was all the resources and connections that Shen Qian had accumulated in Nanwan over the past few decades. This was not just a piece of information, but a transfer of power.
Seeing her standing still, Shen Guiling's eyes were gentle, "Secretary Mo, is there anything else?"
Mo Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Master, they know you are about to embark on the South Bay ship, and they have been clamoring to see you."
Shen Guiling's eyelids moved slightly.
Yao Ge was placed under house arrest in the Bay Mansion to recuperate due to emotional distress and has rarely appeared in public in the past two years.
She must want to meet Shen Qian at this time to reveal his true identity.
Back then, he was just a publicity secretary in Nanwan, but Yao Ge was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Now, let alone the Nanwan ship.
What the woman couldn't stand the most was him touching Shen Nian's things.
Shen Guiling thought for a moment, "What did my father say?"
Yao Ge, "Mr. is tied up with a bill and can't take care of that person right now."
The suppression of the proposal offended many forces. In order to prevent a fire in the backyard, Shen Qian will definitely find a way to appease Yao Ge. He can't take care of it now, but he will definitely go to see her after he is done with his work.
If Yao Ge tells the truth, he will definitely be kicked out of the Shen family.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Shen Guiling directly dialed Shen Qian's number.
Shen Qian was already extremely worried about the proposal, and his tone was even tired. "A Ling?"
"Father, I heard that mother wants to see you."
Yao Ge didn't make a fuss earlier or later, but at this moment. Both of them knew why.
Before Shen Qian could speak, Shen Guiling took the lead and said, "Father, why don't I go see Mother for you first?"
"You?" Shen Qian hesitated. Yao Ge wished Shen Guiling would die now. Wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire if he went?
Shen Guiling slowly turned loyal, "Father, Grandpa attaches great importance to this proposal dispute. You can't be distracted at this time. You just need to guard the front line well. I can handle the things in the backyard."
"Are you sure? That woman is not someone you can easily mess with."
Sensing that Shen Qian was a little moved, he continued to strike while the iron was hot, "The person who tied the bell must untie it. Is my mother's hysteria caused by me? Maybe I can be more useful than my father. Father, you can let me try. If it doesn't work, you can go."
Shen Qian looked at the pile of papers in front of him and frowned, "Let Mo Ran take you there."
Shen Guiling curled her lips and smiled, "Okay."
