Chapter 40 040(1/2)
What?
The middle-aged man was stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction where Mr. Xie was looking. He actually saw a disciple in the corner writing with one hand and pressing random words in the air with the other.
The most important thing is that he flipped through the scrolls very quickly. While the two disciples next to him were still calculating hard with their abacus, he had already flipped through the scrolls a lot.
He is obviously messing around!
The middle-aged man felt a thump in his heart and thought: It's over.
Mr. Xie usually hates the kind of people who cheat and fish in troubled waters. When he suddenly asked this question, was he afraid that he was going to start an investigation?
So his face also darkened, he turned to look at the other person following them, and scolded him with all his might: "Manager Zhou, how do you usually discipline your disciples?"
"ah?"
"Ah, what? I told you before that you cannot be careless about the accounts, and you must choose someone who is careful. How dare you put a person like this who just pretends to be a fool into the Scripture Library? Do you usually receive a salary?
Is this how to do it?”
"..."
Manager Zhou was a little confused by his yelling.
Earlier, Mr. Xie suddenly called out the water curtain to check the situation inside the house, and he had a bad feeling.
But he thought that there were two or three elders above him, and even if something happened, it probably wouldn't have much to do with him, so he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that the fire would burn to him so quickly.
!
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart - he had clearly warned him repeatedly before, why were these outer disciples still so unreliable!
Even if you want to catch fish, don’t rush it at this time!
"Elders, calm down... Calm down, haha, calm down..." Facing several high-ranking officials at the same time, Manager Zhou could only apologize with trepidation, as humble as he could.
But when he mentioned Kong Fang, he put on a sad expression again, "This guy usually performs well, but I didn't expect him to be like this behind his back. It's really...sigh."
"This kind of atmosphere must not be tolerated. Don't worry, elders, I will drive him out right now!" He said and bowed to several people, turned around and went downstairs.
But at the same time, an old but majestic voice suddenly came from behind him.
"stop."
Manager Zhou's movements froze, as if he was restrained by something. His whole body was frozen on the spot, unable to move.
"Thank you, thank you, old man?"
Xie Yue ignored him, turned to look at the middle-aged man standing next to him, and said quietly: "You, repeat the question I just asked."
The middle-aged man was slightly startled and didn't understand why he suddenly said that, but he still repeated it carefully as required, saying: "You just asked, who is the disciple in the corner who is writing with one hand and pressing randomly in the air with the other...
"
Xie Yue nodded happily after hearing this, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "I thought you were old and had something wrong with your ears. Isn't this helpful?"
Middle-aged man:......
As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned red!
What he said was that in terms of age, who could be better than Xie Yue? This was clearly a mockery of his inability to understand human language!
After working on it for a long time, could it be that they got it wrong?
But what should an outer disciple be concerned about?
"Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. It was my fault." The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, turned around and coughed again, and said seriously, "Manager Zhou, Mr. Xie is asking you a question. What is your disciple's name?"
Manager Zhou:......
Why is he everywhere?
Manager Zhou was complaining in his heart, but he didn’t dare to be clever anymore, and quickly replied honestly: “Thank you, Elder Qian. This son’s name is Kong Fang. He is from Zhongzhou. He is eighteen years old and has five spiritual roots. Two years ago,
We’ve reached the sixth level of Qi training.”
"He is an outer disciple who worships at Panya Peak. Although he is not very proficient in swordsmanship, his arithmetic is pretty good. He has been in our Internal Affairs Hall for about two years and was just promoted from Group D to Group C this year."
After saying that, Manager Zhou secretly raised his head and glanced at Xie Yue. Unfortunately, the beard on the latter's face was too thick and there was no expression at all. Tsk!
Xie Yue: "Kong Fang?"
Manager Zhou: "Well..."
Xie Yue: "It's a good name."
Manager Zhou: Huh???
Xie Yue didn't explain much. He put one hand behind his back and stroked his beard with the other, and just looked on without blinking.
Kong Fang in the house was completely unaware of this.
Little did he know that in just one cup of tea, he was already on the verge of being expelled from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Now all he could think about was accounts.
Facing the mountains of scrolls, the senior brothers around them started to feel dizzy and complained incessantly within a short time;
He is the only one who can calculate faster and faster, and his spiritual platform is getting clearer and clearer. The combination of Arabic numerals and abacus mental arithmetic is like a divine help!
Others could not see any clues and only thought that he might have mastered some special method to calculate faster, but Xie Yue could tell it at a glance:
This kid clearly used his spiritual power when settling accounts.
But the interesting thing is that he doesn't seem to realize this himself.
…
On the other side of the wall that turned into a water curtain, the disciples were busy. On the other side of the wall, a group of management members stood silently with Xie Yue.
Xie Yue didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say anything either. They could only stand there silently as supervisors.
Until a moment later, Xie Yue suddenly threw a thunderbolt: "After this calculation is completed, the boy named Kong Fang will be mentioned to Group B."
Mention Group B?
Kong Fang?
Several people glanced at each other subconsciously.
The middle-aged man who had been replying before frowned and said: "Mr. Xie, I didn't mean to contradict you, but this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Several other elders who had been silent before now also stood up: "Yes, Mr. Xie, this matter is probably not appropriate."
Someone said: "This young disciple has just been promoted from Group D this year. If he continues to be promoted, I'm afraid it will be against the rules, and there will be no place in Group B this year..."
Xie Yue: "What position?"
The man was stunned: "According to the regulations of the Internal Affairs Hall, the number of disciples in groups A and B must be controlled to six and eleven respectively..."
Xie Yue suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out they are from the Internal Affairs Hall. I saw you were so nervous, and I thought you were talking about which family's ancestral throne."
"..."
Now few people dared not say anything.
Xie Yue then slowly put away his smile and said coldly: "It is not a trivial matter to make mistakes in the Lingmai accounts. Who is responsible, who bears the responsibility, and how to bear the responsibility. Do you still need me to teach you about such a trivial matter?"
"Perhaps you think it would be better to start from the position of deacon and elder?"
"I am old, but not dead."
The moment the words fell, the surrounding air suddenly became silent, and the powerful pressure was instantly thrown away. Several elders were shocked, and Manager Zhou, who was the weakest in cultivation, even knelt down on the ground!
"Thank you, sir, for calming down!"
"Calm down?" Xie Yue sneered, "Don't worry, I don't dare to get angry. If one day I accidentally make you mad to death, wouldn't I just do what I want?"
"..."
I can’t accept this!
Fortunately, Xie Yue was just planning to give them a blow at the moment and was too lazy to argue with them.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he gave up the pressure and said lazily: "Okay, everyone, get up. I can't stand being worshiped by others at my age."
He seemed to remind him unintentionally: "When you are in the Main Peak Internal Affairs Hall, stop playing with those frivolous things and settle the accounts in front of you clearly."
Several people nodded in agreement.
"What I want to thank you for teaching me is that the juniors expressed themselves inappropriately, but they never meant to favor anyone. The juniors will ask someone to investigate and deal with it!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he turned back and glared at Manager Zhou who was still shivering behind him: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go quickly?"
Manager Zhou: "..."
He doesn't understand!
Here he was nodding and bowing to others like a grandson, but it turned out to be a thankless job. On the contrary, that little outer disciple actually got promoted by trying his luck?!
Isn’t it just writing and smoking at the same time?
He can too!
