NOVPUBChen Erba’s face reddened somewhat at that moment, being watched by so many people for the first time in his life, he involuntarily walked toward Chen Jie.
The crowd parted to make way, and Chen Erba looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, can I do it, can I?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Uncle Erba, I trust your character, you wouldn’t recommend someone to me for the sake of profit and against your conscience, as for whether that person has abilities in the future."
Chen Jie waved his hand, "Qi Chunhua."
"Jiu Si."
Qi Chunhua ran over, he was the captain of the fifteen-member squad, and at that time Chen Jie said, "I’m giving you a task, soon, Hu Zi will go with me to the county, I’m not comfortable leaving Uncle Erba alone in the village, come over more often when you’re free to help look after things."
"Don’t worry, Jiu Si, Brother Hu Zi’s dad is like our own dad, we will definitely take care of him just as we would our own father."
Chen Jie patted his shoulder and then said, "If Uncle Erba sees someone good in the future, you guys can get in touch, if it goes well, you can teach him Grand Ancestor Long Fist!"
"Understood."
The simplest and most brute force method Chen Jie used to identify talents was the Grand Ancestor Long Fist, if you could quickly master the Grand Ancestor Long Fist and become a Skin Buff Martial Artist, then you were a talent.
Uncle Erba checked personality and Qi Chunhua and his fifteen men checked if someone was a talent.
With both approaches, Chen Jie didn’t believe they couldn’t find a few proper talents in the vast Xiantao Town.
In fact, Chen Jie really needed the help of his fellow villagers.
In those days, villagers were very reliable, especially fellow clansmen, like Xiang Yu’s 8,000 troops, Liu Bang’s old-time friends, including in this era, Zhu Chongba, whose core generals were all fellow villagers of Huaixi Twenty-Four Generals.
If Chen Jie wanted to do something big, he needed his own core group, which was the villagers.
A farce was cleverly resolved by Chen Jie, while one person had been observing everything the whole time, that person was Si Xi.
Feng Xuan had two capable lieutenants, one was Si Xi, one was Fa Cai.
Si Xi was shrewd, mainly responsible for Feng Xuan’s communication, serving as Feng Xuan’s personal secretary.
While Fa Cai was one with martial power, serving as Feng Xuan’s enforcer.
And this time Feng Xuan had directly sent Si Xi to contact Chen Jie, he really wanted to see what sort of person Chen Jie was.
And as he thought, Chen Jie indeed stood out, quite a talented man, although handling this old uncle may seem trivial, you could still see how Chen Jie handled interpersonal relationships.
The result was indeed beyond Si Xi’s expectations.
This method of handling issues was logical and flexible.
Neither appearing aloof, nor losing his dignity to be underestimated, and his actions quite adept at grasping human nature, these were not the capabilities of someone inexperienced.
Thinking this, Si Xi narrowed his eyes, it seemed that Chen Jiusi, not only had notable martial power, but his tactics in dealing with matters were also very effective, indeed none of the Hall Master’s adoptive sons were simple!
Thinking this, Si Xi stayed silent, merely standing by the carriage.
Chen Jie then invited Uncle Erba and Aunt Erba inside to talk, while Xiao Hu led fifteen youths who stood guard at the Chen family’s gate, volunteering themselves as security.
Once inside the Chen family’s house, Chen Jie gave all of the leftover rice, flour, cooking oil, and other daily necessities to Uncle Erba’s family.
Chen Jie’s family couldn’t take these things to the city, so they conveniently left them for Uncle Erba’s family and also gave them the keys to the house, asking Uncle Erba to help look after it, which could also serve as a training ground for Qi Chunhua and his team.
Once everything was arranged, Su Yunjin changed into a new outfit that Chen Jie had bought for her.
Instantly, she seemed transformed.
She wore a blue ruqun with a pink to blue gradient on the lower part, embroidered with spring blossoms, the entire outfit accentuating her genteel and elegant demeanor.
It was hard to discern any trace of her rural origins.
This was the scholarly aura cultivated by Scholar Su for Su Yunjin from a young age.
A scholarly family indeed was apparent.
Daisy wore a small red dress, her head adorned with pretty hair ties, looking as if she had stepped out of a painting, a porcelain doll.
Truly beautiful.
It couldn’t be denied, that even at such a young age, this little girl already possessed the looks of a beauty.
Just like her elder sister, it had to be said that Master Su had done a great job in raising them.
Seeing the women transformed as if they were entirely different people, Aunt Erba couldn’t help but sigh.
"My gosh, after all these years, I never realized how beautiful Yunjin was, Jiu Si, you really found a treasure."
Chen Jie heard this and laughed, "Haha, yes, the heavens have favored me, sending down an angel to save me!"
Saying this, Chen Jie then said, "Uncle Erba, Aunt, we’re leaving now, Hu Zi is also coming with me, take care at home, once we settle down in the city, we’ll have Hu Zi buy you a small courtyard to live in."
Uncle Erba responded, "I can’t enjoy such fortune."
"Yes, Jiu Si, we’re unfamiliar with life in the city, staying in a small courtyard every day is like being in prison, it’s better here in the village where we know everyone, and life is much better than before," added Aunt Erba earnestly.
Chen Jie nodded and said, "Hmm, Aunt, Uncle, those fifteen people outside are our own people, the leader is called Qi Chunhua, you talk to them if you need anything, since Hu Zi can’t be around to take care of you, let them do it in his stead."
Uncle Erba said, "Got it, got it, and besides, with you, Jiu Si, as a connection, no one will bother us, and Doctor Bai and Manager Wu, in consideration of your reputation, will take care of us, we’ll be fine, don’t worry about it."
