Another person was planted in the big flower bed.
Jing Yi blinked and took a big step to the side – this time it wasn’t him who did the shovel.
A flower bed ambushed two people. Wen Su’an rushed into it without thinking and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up. Jing Yi estimated the distance and force of his fall and thought, well… maybe, he should have fallen badly.
Familiar posture, familiar place, familiar moans and cries of pain.
Wen Su’an finally managed to free himself from the flower bed. He turned around and cried to Li Mingzhi, “Mingzhi, my face is disfigured…”
A thin red mark was scratched from the end of his eye to his cheek by the flower branch. It wasn’t broken, but it looked a bit ugly. He was covered in dust and dirt, and it was obvious that he had fallen hard.
In the past, whenever Wen Suan had an accident, Li Mingzhi would rush to show concern and help resolve the difficulties. But today, Wen Suan waited and waited but Li Mingzhi’s concern did not come to him.
“Butler Jing.” Li Mingzhi said, “Please call a car for Wen Su’an. I am not feeling well, so I will not see him off in person.”
After Li Mingzhi finished speaking, he turned and went into the villa.
Wen Su’an stretched out Erkang’s hand: “Wait… Mingzhi, Mingzhi!”
Jing Yi curled his lips calmly. Who would he show his fake brotherhood to? His acting skills were so bad. He didn’t want to take on Wen Suan’s role[1]as of acting. He called a taxi to the door with his cell phone, pushed Wen Suan into the car, and that was it.
Jing Yi clapped his hands and was about to leave when the car window suddenly rolled down. Wen Suan was sitting in the car looking at him: “You did it, right?”
Jing Yi: ???
“You must have said something to Li Mingzhi. Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat me like this. Don’t tell me it’s a misunderstanding. We had a good relationship, but he changed when you showed up. What happened just now is related to you.” Wen Su’an said coldly, “Butler Jing, huh? I’ll remember you.”
Jing Yi pursed his lips and smiled: “That’s not right.”
Wen Suan: “What?”
“Do you see that big flower bed over there?” Jing Yi pointed behind him.
Wen Suan felt his face hurt again: “You fucking…”
“That flower bed is filled with evil spirits. If you do too many bad things, you will suffer retribution.” Jing Yi reminded, “Don’t disbelieve it. There are two human figures printed on it.”
Wen Suan: “…”
He looked over subconsciously, and there really were two human-shaped pits.
Jing Yi waved his hand and said with one of his rare politeness: “Go away, don’t come again, or the flower bed will punish you.”
The taxi slowly disappeared from sight.
Jing Yi stood there thinking for a few seconds, then took out his cell phone, went on Weibo, found a whistleblower website, and privately sent Wen Su’an’s negative information, including the time, place, and people involved. The information was rich.
There was only so much he could do, and he would leave the rest to karma.

When returning to the villa, Jing Yi always felt that the Li family looked at him strangely. Jing Yi blinked and looked back, what was wrong?
“Butler Jing.” Li Wenzhao suddenly spoke.
Jing Yi turned around: “Hmm?”
“I’m going out on a field trip today, come with me to the company.”
Got extra work?
His job title should not be housekeeper, but housekeeper-in-charge, right?
Why is my workplace always outside the Li family?
Jing Yi was slacking off in his heart, but on the surface he showed that he was concerned about the company, and said perfunctorily: “Boss Li, I’m just the housekeeper. Will it have a bad influence if I go to the company?”
Li Wenzhao: “Be my assistant for a while, and your salary will increase by 20,000.”
Jing Yi: “Okay, Mr. Li, you’re welcome.”
“…”
The original salary of the Li family’s housekeeper was 80,000 yuan per month, and with an additional 20,000 yuan, the monthly salary equals 100,000 yuan.
How could a poor college student have ever seen so much money?
Jing Yi quietly calculated that after working for the Li family for two years, he would be able to achieve financial freedom. Even if he lost his job one day, it wouldn’t matter. He could find a small city, buy a car and a house, and live a very comfortable life.
hey-hey.
Li Wenzhao went upstairs to change his clothes, and Jingyi waited obediently downstairs.
“Butler Jing.” Li Ting shook the newspaper. “You got a raise. Are you happy?”
“Happy.” Jing Yi’s smile widened: “If the Third Young Master also gives me some, I’ll be even happier.”
You know what I mean.
Li Ting stood up with a smile: “The Third Young Master is not as rich as the First Young Master, so you should just grab the First Young Master’s sheep. Second Brother, I’m going to work now.”
Li Xu also stood up: “Together.”
Li Mingzhi was the only one left in the living room, looking depressed. Jing Yi thought for a moment, pursed his lips and leaned over: “Young Master, if I say Wen Su’an is not a good person, will you believe me?”
Li Mingzhi was stunned, then raised his head. His dark eyes were motionless and his gaze was calm with no emotion visible.
Jingyi started to get nervous.
“I believe it.” Li Mingzhi said, “I believe everything you say. I will never have any contact with him again.”
He took out his cell phone and blocked Wen Suan directly.
Jing Yi:?
So easy to talk to?
In the original text, Li Mingzhi is the type who is stubborn and will not turn back even if he hits a wall. He is also raised to have a savage temper by his three brothers. He will smash bottles and bowls if he is not satisfied, forcing everyone to bow to him.
He is a complete dandy, brainless little idiot.
Now it seems that he is a good and obedient child.
Jing Yi was confused for a moment, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Ever since he entered the book, it seemed that all the plots did not follow the original text. The original plots became overgrown weeds and have now developed to a point where he cannot understand it.
Li Mingzhi did not elope with Ning Jiang and escaped certain death.
Li Ting did not invest in the amusement park and avoided a trap that fell from the sky.
The eldest son Li Wenzhao was not drugged at the banquet and avoided the vicious plot of the official spouse.
Everything is going in the right direction.
But why?
Have the characters in the book awakened? Or have the four young masters of the Li family also been possessed by someone?
Not really.
If he were to awaken or be possessed by someone else, he should also have a God’s perspective. In that case, Li Mingzhi wouldn’t be trying so hard to elope on the first day, Li Wenzhao wouldn’t be defenseless at the cocktail party, and Li Ting wouldn’t cancel his investment as a joke.
So what went wrong?
…
I can’t figure it out.
Never mind, it’s a good thing anyway, the reason doesn’t matter.
Jing Yi chatted with Li Mingzhi for a while, then went to the kitchen to have a simple breakfast. Just after he wiped his mouth, Li Wenzhao came down in a neat suit.
Jing Yi followed him out, and when he saw the car waiting outside the door, he let out a soft “hmm”.
Another difference from the original text.
In the book, the main villain Li Wenzhao lives a high-profile life, and his way of traveling is very consistent with his domineering president’s personality – he travels in and out by helicopter.
Li Wenzhao heard his surprised cry and stopped: “What’s wrong?”
Jing Yi looked at the car, then looked around: “Master, do you drive to work?”
Li Wenzhao: “Otherwise?”
Go on foot?
Jing Yi stated: “Don’t all bosses fly helicopters to work?”
“…”
Sometimes Li Wenzhao really didn’t know what was going on in the little housekeeper’s mind. “Housekeeper Jing, I’m a domineering boss, not a lunatic. Private helicopters are not allowed to enter the city.”
Jing Yi was surprised, what a law-abiding and domineering president.
It’s all the original author’s fault.
What nonsense are you writing?
Jingyi walked forward and tripped accidentally, then he stood firm by holding on to a pillar in a thrilling manner.
[What’s wrong with the Li family’s floor? Why is it so slippery? ]
Li Wenzhao was about to say something, but when he looked at Jing Yi, who was still in shock, the harsh look in his eyes disappeared and the corners of his lips curled up.
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes sharply: Hmm?
Why is the young master laughing so secretly again?
Don’t laugh at him.
“Young Master…”
However, just as Jing Yi opened his mouth, Li Wenzhao raised his chin as if urging him to enter the pen: “Get in the car.”
“…”
A silver luxury car slid out of the villa’s door.
·
·
The Li Group’s headquarters is located in the financial center within the Second Ring Road.
Two towering buildings stand majestically, demonstrating the Li family’s strong financial strength and status.
The driver drove the car directly to the company gate, and Li Wenzhao took Jing Yi into the gate. All the employees they met along the way looked at Li Wenzhao with awe, and they kept greeting each other.
Jing Yi followed behind Li Wenzhao and also felt the feeling of being watched.
The two walked into the elevator, and the transparent iron box began to rise. The street scenes on all sides were shrinking rapidly, and Jing Yi began to feel dizzy.
He clung to the elevator wall, shaking his legs to distract himself: “Young Master, do you really like looking at the vast mountains and rivers you have conquered in this ascending space?”
Li Wenzhao: “I don’t like it.”
Jing Yi trembled his lips: “Then why did you make the elevator transparent?”
Li Wenzhao: “To appreciate other people’s trembling.”
“…”
What a domineering boss with a bad taste, and he still says he is not a lunatic!
The elevator went higher and higher, and Jing Yi clung to a corner like a gecko. When the elevator finally stopped, Jing Yi felt his legs go weak.
When I was about to fall, a big hand held me up.
Jing Yi fell over and said, “Thank you.”
Li Wenzhao: “…”
The elevator door opens.
“President, today’s department meeting has already started…” Secretary Fan was standing at the elevator entrance reporting on his work. When the door opened, two people entangled and hugged each other were revealed inside.
Secretary Fan: “?”
In the elevator, Li Wenzhao stood there expressionless, his arm tightly held by someone. Butler Jing, with his eyes closed, used his hands and feet to cling to the boss like a koala.
“…”
“Butler Jing.” Li Wenzhao frowned and tore Jing Yi off his arm: “We’re here.”
“oh.”
Jing Yi held the elevator car and walked out of the elevator step by step, looking very depressed.
In the Li family, he was still a tender little radish, but after taking a ride in the transparent elevator, he was directly tossed into a dried radish.
It’s not easy to do field work for 20,000 yuan.
Secretary Fan kindly helped Jing Yi up: “Butler Jing, what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Luobo Gan[2]preserved and dried turnips or radishes waved his hands weakly: “The salary increase is too big, I’m too excited.”
Secretary Fan: “…”
Li Wenzhao: “…”
Jing Yi softly grasped Fan Ming’s arm: “Secretary Fan, you can understand me, right?”
Secretary Fan did not want to discuss the amount of salary increase with him, as this was not allowed in the company.
Fan Ming accompanied Butler Jing into the president’s office. Li Wenzhao had another board meeting in the morning and could not be absent, so he went straight into the meeting room as soon as he arrived at the company without even taking a breath.
After a while, Fan Ming came to Jing Yi with a pile of information, “Butler Jing, your job is here.”
“…”
Jing Yi looked at the half-man-high folder and said, “Secretary Fan must be joking.”
Secretary Fan said seriously: “Mr. Li’s instructions.”
“…”
A few minutes later, Jing Yi sat at the small desk and looked through the information Secretary Fan brought. “They are all artists.”
Secretary Fan nodded: “Boss Li said that he wants you to select the right candidates, and the head office will contact them to sign the contract.”
Jing Yi raised his eyebrows: “What is the basis for my selection…?”
As a housekeeper in charge of trivial matters, Li Wenzhao was not afraid that he would pick out a group of cats and dogs for the entertainment industry.
Secretary Fan didn’t understand this either. He was only responsible for relaying Li Wenzhao’s orders. He frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds: “Intuition?”
Jing Yi’s mouth twitched slightly: “…Secretary Fan is really humorous.”
Fan Ming said sternly, “Butler Jing, let’s get started.”
Jing Yi sighed. He accepted the offer of money. He pulled out a folder and glanced at the name: “This person is not good enough.”
Secretary Fan took out a notebook and began to record: “What is the basis?”
Jing Yi: “His forehead is black and his lips are purple. He looks like a bad guy and will definitely commit domestic violence in the future.”
“…” Secretary Fan’s grip tightened, and the tip of the pen shook to produce an unusual line.
“…”
·
In the conference room, Li Wenzhao sat down at the first seat with an expressionless face, listening to subordinate units report on the revenue of the previous quarter.
“…Boss Li, these are all the performance figures of our branch companies.” The branch manager bowed, returned to his seat, and waited for the big boss’s comments.
Li Wenzhao nodded: “Compared to the previous quarter, this time…”
[No, no, this will be addicted to drugs in the future]
Li Wenzhao: “…”
[This will lead to domestic violence and derailment in the future]
[This is a surrogate mother]
[This is even worse. Gambling and prostitution are both fatal. They will go away with AIDS.]
[This is even worse. People who should be taxed are not taxed, and people who shouldn’t sleep are sleeping.]
【……】
[…Is this a selection of artists? This is clearly a prison registration form.]
[Is the Li family company a garbage collection center? Why do they take all kinds of criminals home?]
[Li’s garbage shelter, criminals and below are not allowed to enter! 】
“…”
Li Wenzhao’s face became darker and darker, and the pen in his hand fell down lightly, so heavily that one could hear a pin drop in the conference room.
The department leader who was reporting wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Boss Li… is there something wrong?”
“No.” Li Wenzhao let out a breath of shock: “Let’s stop here for today, the meeting is adjourned.”
He had to deal with more difficult matters first.
