Chapter 1636: Developing Oneâs Own People (1)
Jiang Zhen hurriedly saluted, "Young Mistress, youâre too kind. Weâre all Young Masterâs people, how could we possibly deserve your thanks? If you need any of us, please just give the order. Itâs our honor to be of service."
"I understand, I wonât stand on ceremony with you." Yang Ruxin raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhen. "Weâre all part of the same camp. When things go well for us, they go well for everyone." She paused for a moment. "From now on, wherever we go, try to develop our circle as much as possible. Let them gather information locally and then consolidate it for us..."
"The escort agency has six branch offices. That side is no issue, but developing in other places will take some time..."
"Taking time is fine, but precision is key. And those people must be utterly loyal. Even local hooligans, beggars, and street children can be recruited..."
"Understood. I will make sure this task is done properly."
"Good." Yang Ruxin nodded. Gu Qingheng had mentioned that Jiang Zhen was exceptionally capableâsomeone to whom significant responsibilities could be entrusted.
That same evening, Du Yunpeng also returned from Hangzhou. Business at the two Fuji Hotpot Restaurants there had stabilized. Zhongxia was quite capable and eager to learnâquick to grasp new ideas. With some experience, heâd make an excellent shopkeeper.
"However..." Du Yunpeng suddenly hesitated.
"Whatâs the matter?" Yang Ruxin noticed Du Yunpengâs expression and chuckled, "Did something happen with Ye San? I havenât seen him come back yet."
"He..." Du Yunpeng scratched his nose. "He volunteered to stay behind and serve as Zhongxiaâs guard, so I agreed."
"Not bad." Yang Ruxin laughed. "Ye San certainly has a good sense." Previously, she had asked Gu Ming to temporarily assist Zhongxia. After all, a young lady wouldnât know martial arts. But once Du Yunpeng arrived, she told Gu Ming to return. Now that Ye San was accompanying Zhongxia, she could rest easy.
"Miss, this matter should have been reported to you first before being decided, but..."
"Apeng, you and your family are among the people I trust most. Otherwise, I wouldnât have entrusted you all with my household and my business." Yang Ruxin interrupted him. "You work for me, but it doesnât mean you need to report everything before acting. Just remember that you are one of my people, and trust in yourself not to make mistakes. Of course, if something falls outside your ability or decision-making scope, you mustnât act rashly..."
"Miss, please rest assured, I fully understand." Du Yunpeng felt deeply moved. As a servant, one typically had no autonomy, but here he felt none of those restraints. The trust his mistress placed in him was the greatest reward she could give.
"Take Ye Sanâs case, for example. If someday he truly wins over the beauty, heâll owe you his gratitude." Yang Ruxin gave Du Yunpeng a pat on the shoulder. "His token of thanks must be generous. After all, you took the risk of being scolded by me just to fulfill his wish."
"Miss is absolutely right. If the thanks arenât substantial, I wonât accept them..."
That evening, Yang Ruxin instructed the kitchen to prepare a lavish meal to welcome back Du Yunpeng and Hui Dabao.
The next day was the day to visit the Shen Family. Yang Ruxin leisurely enjoyed her breakfast before taking Du Juan and heading into town by carriage.
However, she didnât immediately visit the Shen Family. Instead, she stopped by the shop to lend a hand for a while and only then headed to the Shen Family at a relaxed pace.
