Chapter 259: Bai Song Returns to Yangcheng
As usual, Mr. Sheng will hold a New Year's ball in the concession.
Nanchun and Baixun received the invitation.
Nanchun called Master Sheng.
"Thank you, Master Sheng."
Sheng Zexi sighed and said, "No, this is also for my own sake. I heard that Federico is going back to China, and I feel disgusted to let him get away like this.
However, Young Master Nan, you still need to be more careful. There have been frequent attacks on foreigners in the concession these days. Federico is very cautious and always has bodyguards around him. He must have weapons on him.
Nanchun said, "Yes. Mr. Sheng, please rest assured. I will not take action in your place. I will wait until he leaves your house before taking action. Even if the foreigners investigate later, they will not be able to trace it back to you. This matter has nothing to do with you, nor with the Sheng family."
Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "I trust you to do the job. I will have a few drinks with Federico that day."
Nanchun said, "Thank you!"
Although Bai Xun really disliked Nanchun's association with the ill-intentioned Mr. Sheng, it was indeed more reasonable to invite Federico through him.
Sheng Mansion.
Wei Zhong came over hurriedly.
"Master, the master came to see you. I see he doesn't look well. I'm afraid it's because of your New Year's ball."
"I had expected that he would come to call for punishment." Sheng Zexi spread his hands helplessly.
As soon as Sheng Yuqing stepped over the threshold, she said, "At this critical and awkward moment, you're actually planning to hold a New Year's ball? And you're inviting that Federico?"
"Dad, what's wrong? Isn't this a routine? I hold a New Year's dance every year." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.
Sheng Yuqing glanced at him and said, "Stop rambling. The situation in the concession is so serious right now, why are you still holding a ball? And inviting that foreigner... Do you want those people to point their guns at our Sheng family?"
Sheng Zexi poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Dad, don't be angry yet. Look, I've been holding this dance for several years. If it's because of this, I won't do it anymore."
Those foreigners must have thought that our Sheng family was doing this to show support for those who were causing trouble. I'll do it again next year, and I don't think any of those foreigners will come."
Sheng Yuqing took a sip of tea and said, "Then don't invite that foreigner!"
Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "It's just a formality. The people above and in the concession are all protecting that Federico. And he was a frequent guest at my dances before. It would be wrong not to invite him, right?"
I heard he was so scared that he hadn't even been to his usual restaurants and bars for a few days. He's packing his bags to return home. I gave him the invitation because I knew he wouldn't come.
Sheng Yuqing frowned: "In troubled times, we must be careful and cautious in everything we do."
Sheng Zexi nodded and said, "I understand, son. Don't worry."
In the evening, Taohua came over and gave Nanchun a box of snacks.
"Oh, it's so exquisite." Nanchun said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you downstairs to pick something."
After going downstairs and arriving in front of the shelves, Nanchun asked hurriedly while no one was around, "Fourth Master, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, the Fourth Master said everything is ready."
Nanchun handed her a letter: "Be sure to give it to the Fourth Master."
Bai Xun is about to take action here, so make sure he doesn't run into the Fourth Master's men.
The next morning, Young Master Bai returned.
Bai Xun and Nan Chun came down from upstairs, and Bai Song was having breakfast.
Nanchun felt a little depressed. Baisong came back so quickly. If he knew that they wanted to take action against the foreigner, he would definitely intervene.
He must not know about this under any circumstances.
"Brother." Bai Xun said.
"Young Master." Nanchun tilted her head and looked at him.
"Hey, it's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together." Bo Song said with a smile, "Although Yuncheng has a lot of delicious food, the taste is very different from ours. I don't miss anything else, just the dishes made by the chef at home."
"Then eat more." Nanchun said with a smile.
After dinner, Bai Song took out two brocade boxes and handed one to Nanchun and the other to Bai Xun.
Nanchun and Baixun took it out and looked at it. It was a pair of very exquisite dragon-shaped jade rings.
"Yuncheng produces jade. This piece of jade is of excellent quality, just right for making a pair of jade rings." Bai Song said.
Nanchun smiled and said, "Thank you, young master."
Bai Song said, "We're family, why are we being so polite? You've made a great contribution to the Bai family and run the business so well. I should be the one thanking you."
Nan Chun said modestly, "I am enjoying the shade under a big tree, thanks to the help of the Bai family and the help of noble people."
Bai Song said, "It's your ability to get such a noble person to help you. How about this, you will still be in charge of the business from now on. I have to go to Yuncheng from time to time, so I really can't take care of so many things."
Bai Song thought about it carefully and decided that this situation was the best for the Bai family.
He is in charge of the affairs of Yuncheng, Nanchun is in charge of the affairs of Yangcheng, and Xundi is in charge of the affairs of Jincheng, and also takes care of the affairs of Yangcheng.
My grandfather wrote to me saying that Aunt Han was also a good businesswoman. She managed the Bai family's business in He'an County very well, which made my grandfather less worried.
Fearing that Nanchun would refuse, Bai Xun added, "It's not that you have to bear all the responsibilities. Xundi and I will take care of anything. Just go ahead and do it without worry.
When I was in charge of Yangcheng, I was given 20% of the year-end dividends. You have done better than me, so I will give you my dividends at the end of this year, plus a 10% bonus."
Nanchun was naturally happy: "Thank you very much, young master."
After saying this, Bai Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard about Miss Wei. Alas, we fulfilled her wish and allowed her to go to school. Now it seems that understanding too much is not necessarily a good thing."
Nanchun subconsciously wanted to refute, but Bai Xun grabbed her wrist.
"Miss Wei likes this place, so I bought her a cemetery and buried her here. Old man Wei didn't want to stay in this sad place, so I have sent someone to send him back to Baijiazhai." Bai Xun said.
Bo Song nodded and said, "Alright! I brought this up to tell you not to act rashly and do irreparable things. This isn't as simple as seeking justice for one person. In troubled times, it's better to have less trouble than more."
Nanchun thought to himself: His guess was right. The young master came back in such a hurry, probably because he was worried that he and Bai Xun would clash with the foreigners and cause trouble.
Coming out of the house, Bai Xun said, "I stopped you because..."
"I understand. Actually, if you think about it, there is really nothing to refute. Everyone has different ideas, and there is no need to convince anyone. However, it is better not to tell the eldest young master about the killing of that foreigner. He will definitely not agree." Nanchun said.
"Ah."
