CH 28.1

At midnight, all sounds are still.

The lights in Wu’s house have gone out, leaving only the one in the back courtyard.

A figure suddenly leaped from outside the wall and stopped lightly in the courtyard.

In the room on the side, there is a bed on the left and right. On the bed on the left, Xuezhu, who was sleeping soundly with a pillow in his arms, opened his eyes. Then he picked up the broom next to him and walked out the door.

The person on the other bed also woke up, but he didn’t open his eyes.

The weather is so cold and it’s too arduous to get up at night. Besides, with Xuezhu around, he doesn’t seem to need to be too loyal to his duty.

Xuezhu thought to himself that he might have to sweep head again in the middle of the night, but as soon as he went out, he found out that the person who came was the maid next to Third Miss, called something Xiang.

He can’t sweep then.

Xuezhu can’t tell whether he is happy or disappointed now.

Is he feeling glad that he doesn’t have to sweep head at night, or is he feeling disappointed that he doesn’t sweep head at night?

Xuezhu returned to his room with the broom and picked up several dead leaves while passing by.

Wan Xiang looked at Xuezhu, and then glanced at the window of Wu Wei’an’s room.

Under the candlelight, Wu Wei’an’s shadow was reflected on the window. He was reading a book while resting his chin in one hand.

After seeing this, Wan Xiang quickly left the Wu family.

Wu Wei’an didn’t lift his eyelids at all in the room.

He is used to it. These days, the Third Miss of the Ji family would send her maid to keep an eye on him every once in a while.

Sometimes it’s early in the morning and sometimes it’s at midnight, just like now.

He also finally understood how the Third Miss of the Ji family had accumulated that tremendous wealth.

He estimated that she used to stalk others before this too. With such a stalk, what kind of business can’t be done by her?

When Wan Xiang came back, Ji Yunxi hadn’t slept yet.

Near the end of the year, there are many things to be managed, whether at the pawnshop, the auction house, or at home.

Earlier, Ji Yunxi had asked the shopkeepers of the pawnshops and auction houses to report the situation of this year.

She has to decide how many red envelopes to give her subordinates this year based on the earnings of this year and their daily performance.

It is equivalent to a modern year-end bonus.

To recruit talented people, to let the subordinates always work hard, and how to give the appropriate number, is also a great learning.

If she gives them too much, Ji Yunxi will feel distressed instead.

She is not a kind person and she has always defined her own position clearly. She is a businessman who pays great attention to profits.

If she gives less, she is afraid that the employees will run away or slack on their job.

“Miss.” Wanxiang bowed towards Ji Yunxi. “The Eldest Young Master is still reading by the lights.”

Ji Yunxi nodded: “I see. Go and have a rest then.”

Wan Xiang said yes and left the room.

Ji Yunxi stopped the brush in her hand and feels that she is quite in a good mood.

It is very difficult for others to get the First-Rank, and it is not something that can be achieved with only hard work.

But for Wu Wei’an, as long as he really works hard, it can be said that there is still play to look forward to.

And in the past few days, Wu Wei’an has indeed woken up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs.

She feels relieved now.

There are more than a dozen pawnshops and auction houses in the entire capital, as well as in various places.

For an entire day, Ji Yunxi calculated the year-end bonus but only completed one third of it.

But there is still time. Ji Yunxi tidied up her things and was ready to get some rest.

“Third Sister! Are you asleep?!” Ji Mingyan’s clear and excited voice came from outside the door.

Ji Yunxi did not hesitate to blow out the light: “Asleep already.”
