Chapter 85 I just want your body, why do I need your heart?
The sunlight came through the window and sprayed heavily on Tan Wenjie's face, making him blink his eyes involuntarily.
"Ah~" He sat up straight and stretched.
After last night, Tan Wenjie confirmed one thing: it is really uncomfortable to sleep while sitting.
The sound of abacus beads coupled with the rustling of account books is most hypnotic.
The room was empty and Xiaohong was no longer visible.
There were five piles of account books on the desk, but they were only for Tanjia Town. The account books of shops in the surrounding villages and towns had not been collected yet due to distance.
"Xiaohong?"
The voice came from under the table: "I was here. I was scared when the cock crowed, so I hid under the table."
She is truly a born secretary who can actually crawl under the table. It’s a pity that Mr. Tan pulled out a chair and leaned against it last night.
Tan Wenjie walked over, closed the window, and drew the curtains. When he turned around, Xiaohong had appeared behind him. As she turned around, Xiaohong was attracted towards his mouth like a magnet.
He quickly stepped back to keep some distance.
Xiao Hong just reacted, quickly floated back and bowed her head, saying: "Master, I just couldn't help myself."
"You've been dead for not long, so it's normal that you can't control yourself and absorb other people's Yang energy." Tan Wenjie didn't care. His master said that he would only become weak in the knees after a real fight with the female ghost, and it wouldn't shorten his life. It wasn't a big deal that Xiaohong sucked some of his Yang energy through the table.
He has too much yang energy and it is difficult for him to urinate in the morning.
Speaking of convenience, I don’t know what will happen to Zhu Dachang after taking the medicine.
Tan Wenjie: "When you become more advanced, you will be able to control this instinct."
Xiaoyu is a female ghost with relatively high spiritual power, and she even has the energy to play with romance. If it were Xiaohong, she would definitely follow her instinct and go for it directly.
"How's the bookkeeping going?"
Xiao Hong replied softly, "There are some problems with the accounts of two shops, and there are some minor problems with the other shops as well."
Tan Wenjie sat at the table and checked according to what Xiaohong pointed out. With her staying up all night to do the accounting, he indeed seemed a lot more relaxed.
It is very normal to steal things these days. For example, when Tan Wenjie's cheap uncle was still alive, he would either check the accounts or be on his way to check the accounts every day. However, the Tan Mansion became a private residence for Master Liu to enjoy.
Now that I have Xiaohong to help me, I feel less worried.
As for the problem of his subordinates stinging with money, just give them a beating. It's okay to take small advantages, but as for moving the boss's things to your own home, it happens that Tan Wenjie is also the captain of the police team. Not only can he send the other party to the police station as the boss, but he can also interrogate them directly. Even if someone dies accidentally due to torture, he can still provide a one-stop funeral and salvation to ensure that the entire process is compliant.
Tan Wenjie: "I see that you are very good at checking accounts, so I will leave the job of checking accounts to you from now on. If you have any questions or problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me. By the way, have you buried your body?"
Xiao Hong: "I have found a place to bury my body."
Tan Wenjie: "That's good. I'll find someone to help you move your grave and find a good feng shui spot. Do you like candles or incense?"
Xiao Hong: “I haven’t tried it yet.”
Tan Wenjie: "Then try them all."
He can purchase at the Zhu family's paper-making shop at an internal discount price.
He stood up and said, "I'll arrange for someone to take care of your old lady. Do you want to stay here until after dark?"
Xiao Hong: "Master, I can go out by hiding under the umbrella."
Tan Wenjie: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll make the arrangements."
He was told not to worry about the rest and turned back to the Tan Mansion.
As we walked in the morning sunlight, people kept greeting us along the way, including Boss Tan, Mayor Tan, and others.
Tan Mansion.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Bai Rourou, who was practicing martial arts in a plain training suit.
The training clothes highlight her figure, and even though they are a little loose, they can hardly hide her graceful curves. Her body trembles when she punches, and ripples can be faintly seen on the green peaks under the clouds.
What a set of exciting punches the gangster threw, Tan Wenjie couldn't take his eyes off it.
Bai Rourou's luck stopped and her chest rose and fell.
"Fellow Daoist Tan." Seeing Tan Wenjie again, Bai Rourou's expression remained calm. That handsome face was nothing special to her, but the fiery gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"What were you practicing just now?" Tan Wenjie's attention was already on Bai Rourou's practice.
"Kui Xing's kicking and fighting method to catch ghosts can also be used to activate tendons and bones on a daily basis."
"Can you teach me?" Mr. Tan has always asked this question. If you ask frankly, the price will be negotiable.
But her expression changed slightly: "This..."
Tan Wenjie: "Is it a secret that cannot be passed on?"
The secret must be very valuable. Pay the money first. He likes things that require extra money to buy the most.
Before he could even say the word "add money", Bai Rourou shook her head and said, "Not really, it's just that Kuixing's kicking and fighting to catch ghosts is a joint attack by a man and a woman. You need to find a golden boy and a jade girl to practice from a young age. When they have a mutual understanding, the man will catch the woman."
So that's how it is. Tan Wenjie nodded. He wanted to learn it, too. As long as he learned a skill to the maximum level, he could gain some insights. The more the better. He wasn't picky.
Bai Rourou wanted to persuade him that he was too old to learn the boy's skills, but after thinking it over, she decided not to force him. She had seen how ruthless Tan Wenjie was, and she only wanted to be friends with him so as not to bring trouble to her childhood sweetheart.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you later, but you have to find someone else, otherwise it'll just be for show."
"It doesn't matter. Even a fancy stand is fine. I'll learn it myself first."
Just after breakfast, Tan Wenjie was thinking about asking Bai Rourou where the Zhuge family was after learning the new skills, but he saw Bai Rourou squatting in front of a basin of water in the yard, talking to herself.
"What? My senior brother captured a thousand-year-old bronze-armored corpse?"
Caught now?
Tan Wenjie stopped immediately. His hearing was much better than that of ordinary people and he could hear things from a long distance, so it wasn't like he was eavesdropping. It was just that Bai Rourou spoke too loudly and the voice accidentally reached his ears.
"The best Mao in the world, he wants to cause trouble for my senior brother? Does that mean my senior brother's misfortune will come upon the best Mao in the world? What should I do?"
Bai Rourou stood up anxiously. She had always believed that Tan Wenjie was the source of the disaster, but she never expected that something went wrong.
"The best Maotai in the world?" Tan Wenjie couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, "What's the origin?"
Shi Jian did not even dare to claim himself as the best in the world, at most he considered himself the eldest brother of Maoshan.
"He is a Maoshan disciple, but like my senior brother, he likes to study ghost-catching instruments. He is also my senior brother's biggest enemy."
Tan Wenjie said, "Since you are so worried about your brother, why don't you go to his place and take a look? I also want to buy a zombie, so let's go together."
He has been coveting the bronze-armored corpse for a long time, but who knows how long Zhuge Kongping can protect the bronze-armored corpse? Picking up a corpse is always easier than fighting with real swords and guns.
"You..." Bai Rourou suddenly looked up at him, "You don't have to be like this. The world's number one Mao has the same skills as my senior brother, and he also learned some tricks from abroad. If you get dragged into this, you'll probably suffer."
Tan Wenjie: "It doesn't matter. I'm also interested in the No. 1 Maotai in the world."
Seeing how sincere and resolute he was, Bai Rourou turned her head away without saying anything, then buried her head in her chest again, not knowing what she was struggling with or thinking about.
Not refusing means agreeing, and Tan Wenjie was in a good mood.
"When do we start practicing the Kuixing kicking and ghost catching technique?"
I don’t know if it was because Bai Rourou was in an unstable mood or because Tan Wenjie was not talented enough, but he spent half an hour practicing several times but still couldn’t get started. He didn’t even get a reminder that he had failed. Seeing that Bai Rourou was absent-minded, Tan Wenjie took the initiative to stop studying.
She's quite infatuated. Could it be that Cha Cha is just in love?
For the next day, Tan Wenjie was busy with the shop affairs. In the evening, he took Xiaohong to invite the owners of various major shops to a banquet and officially confirmed Xiaohong's identity as Boss Tan's most trusted secretary in front of everyone.
The shopkeepers were overjoyed and had already thought about how to control her. It was not easy to deal with Tan Wenjie, but it was easy to fool a young girl.
It was already dark, and all the shopkeepers were already drunk. They were thinking about the big harvest this year and maybe they could get a lot of money from the Tan family. Suddenly, Xiaohong said, "Please send the account books tonight. I want to check the accounts overnight."
She paused and said, "From now on, we will check the accounts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and conduct random checks on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We will also summarize the accounts on the seventh day. Please cooperate with us, shopkeepers."
The shopkeepers sobered up instantly. A new official has three things to do upon taking office. Is he trying to establish his authority?
But soon they broke into smiles. The Tan family's businesses were fragmented, numerous and diverse, and were mostly related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even running a shop would take up most of the day. Could Xiaohong really stay up all night checking the accounts?
Let her suffer a little.
Not to mention how the shopkeepers yawned that night as they watched Xiaohong clattering the beads on the abacus, and how they watched one shopkeeper after another being picked out for making mistakes and being taken to the police station.
But when it was just getting dark, Tan Wenjie returned to the Tan Mansion. His physique was getting stronger and stronger, and he didn't get drunk so easily after drinking a little.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Bai Rourou squatting on the ground and talking to the basin.
"Brother, we are childhood sweethearts. I will definitely help you if you have any problem."
"Brother, you said you were not afraid of your wife, but I really can't stand you bullying me like this."
"No, I want to come out and discuss this with her."
"Brother, I will appear wherever there is water."
Your tea art training is really advanced. My senior brother already has a wife, yet you still come to try to get a girlfriend. You are not here to break up this family, you are here to join it, right?
Bai Rourou also noticed Tan Wenjie's arrival, and knew that Tan Wenjie had heard everything she had just said, so she stood up and took the initiative to say, "I was only thinking about my senior brother."
Tan Wenjie was puzzled. What does it have to do with me if you have a senior brother in your heart?
Nie Xiaoqian is still in my mind. Have I told others?
But the conversation has to move on: "He has a wife and children?"
Bai Rourou: "We have a son and a daughter, and we have been together for more than 20 years. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to be your concubine."
She said it firmly because she wanted to make Tan Wenjie give up. She thought about it for the whole day today, but her childhood sweetheart relationship still prevailed.
Tan Wenjie gave a thumbs up: "Well, I support you."
How come he has never met a woman whose life goal is to be someone else's concubine? People like Tingting, Zhuzhu, and Nianying, the heroines of the zombie movie Three Huan Shen, come from wealthy families, so it is easy to marry them as wives, but difficult to make them concubines. Even if they agree, the family elders behind them will not agree.
Bai Rourou's eyes softened a lot. Isn't it the same as her decision to quietly withdraw for the sake of her senior brother to silently support the person she likes and be willing to take risks for him/her?
Bai Rourou's voice softened a lot: "You don't have to be like this. Even if you get me, you can't get my heart."
Just want your body, why do I need your heart?
Wait, when did I ever want you? I just want the bronze-armored corpse.
