CH 35.2

Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart, and every profession has its own doorway too. Ji Yunxi has never been in contact with a gambling house. Although she has been preparing these days, in the end it is only an empty phrase on the paper.

The Feng family also guessed this one right. Their actions of also giving the guys working here together along the gambling house to the Ji family so generously, is naturally not with the thought of doing good things.

These old fellows are deeply tied up with the Feng family. If they put them in the gambling house, they will be the eyeliner of the Feng family. Not only that, but also to disgust the Ji family, especially Ji Yunxi.

And the Feng family is confident that Ji Yunxi dares not kick out these old fellows.

One has to know that once these old fellows leave, no one has the skill to manage these gambling houses anymore.

“Third Miss, can the gambling house be opened today?” The head of the old fellows continued to ask, “If the door is to be opened, there should be money in the gambling house. At least ten thousand taels of gold should be put here first. There is no shortage of rich customers in Dechang Gambling House. If the gambling house loses and there is no money to pay the guests, how can we continue this gambling house business then?”

That head is a man in his forties and everyone calls him Master Ye. The reason why Dechang Gambling House can now become the largest of the eight gambling houses, it is also inseparable from Master Ye. Master Ye is good at arithmetic and has a flexible mind. He has studied several new gambling methods by himself and also made Dechang Gambling House prosperous. Although the manager is the one in charge of the gambling house, in fact, Master Ye is the real big shot in Dechang Gambling House.

Ji Yunxi chuckled lightly.

Master Ye looked at the little girl with great disdain in his heart and waited for Ji Yunxi to speak. He even started to think about what Ji Yunxi would say and how he would ridicule her back.

After all, only a mere little girl but wants to interfere in the gambling house business? Isn’t she just relying on her status as a member of the Ji’s family and tyrannically abusing her power?

Ji Yunxi didn’t say anything. She just tilted her head and glanced back: “Fang Yuan.”

There were eight men that followed behind Baofu and Wan Xiang. Before she called, people didn’t pay much attention to these eight men.

It wasn’t until they saw Ji Yunxi looking back that everyone’s eyes also followed.

Master Ye was quite surprised when he saw the people in the crowd.

Because there was someone he knew. That person usually liked to open small gambling games with the neighbors but in the end, he was arrested by the constable and imprisoned for three years. He was just released not long ago.

Among the eight men, one was the shortest and thinnest. After hearing Ji Yunxi’s call, he immediately walked out and trotted to Ji Yunxi’s side: “Yes, Third Miss.”

The man was dressed in black, with patches all over his clothes and a hole in his shoes.

He is not tall, even a head shorter than Ji Yunxi and he is also very thin. His face was also very small, and his skin was not in very good condition due to being exposed to the sun and wind, but the eyes were quite smart.

This person was the one Ji Yunxi took a fancy to in Fuman Building on the day the list of the Spring Imperial Examination was posted.

She asked Baofu to contact the other party privately, and these past few days she had also negotiated the terms with him.

Ji Yunxi said to the crowd in Dechang Gambling House: “This is Fang Yuan and he will be the manager of Dechang Gambling House from today on. He will be in charge of everything in the gambling house. When the gambling house will open and how much money it needs, Manager Fang will naturally tell me. So there is no need for other people to worry about it. “

Master Ye immediately stood up straightly: “Third Miss, how old is this man? You let him be in charge?!”

Fang Yuan looked at Master Ye, and said rascally: “I am not that young anymore. I am already eighteen this year.”

Ji Yunxi completely ignored Master Ye and explained to Fang Yuan: “You will have to take care of the rest, but you can just do it confidently. I will bear all the responsibility.”
