Chapter 234 Just Being Friends
As night fell, Li Yunye was still in his study looking at the account book of the dyeing workshop. However, the records in this account book were so trivial that he felt overwhelmed. So he had to use other paper to adjust and simplify it.
An Yun, who was standing by, could not help but be distracted when he saw the young master frowning while working seriously. In the past, the young master was always lazy and could not sit still when looking at the account book. Even if he was fully focused, he could not last for half an incense stick. But now, the young master can be busy in this study room all day without complaining of being tired, and no one would think of asking him to go out to buy food.
In just less than a month, this incident has made the young master seem like a different person. But it makes sense, the burden of being the famous Li in Jiangnan is too heavy for the young master to slack off. He must grow up as quickly as possible.
"Why are you staring at me?" After Li Yunye finished writing and drawing on a piece of white paper, he looked up and saw An Yun staring at him in a daze, so he raised his hand and waved it, asking curiously.
"Young Master, it's getting late." An Yun came back to his senses, turned around hurriedly, poured a cup of tea for Li Yunye, and reminded him.
"Ange hasn't come back yet, wait a little longer." Li Yunye put down the pen in his hand and stretched, then he told An Yun: "I've told you so many times, you don't have to stand by my side all the time, if you feel tired, just sit down or go for a walk outside."
"It is An Yun's duty to protect the young master. An Yun cannot leave the young master for even a step." An Yun said seriously.
"This is the Li Mansion, what can happen to me?" Li Yunye smiled helplessly.
An Yun didn't say anything else. Seeing that the young master was still staring at him, he hesitated for a moment and turned around to sit by the window.
"You are only fourteen or fifteen years old, can't you be more lively?" Seeing An Yun sitting stiffly with a mature posture, Li Yunye shook his head helplessly again.
"Sir, An Yun has been like this since he was young." An Yun scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment.
Li Yunye didn't say anything else. He also knew that a person's character is not formed overnight. An Yun has always been dull. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to suddenly make him lively?
"Young Master." When Li Yunye was putting his attention back on the account book, An Ge came back.
"How is it? Is everything arranged?" As soon as he saw An Ge, Li Yunye put down the account book and asked hurriedly.
"Well, in addition to Lu Zhi designated by the young master, there are two more employees who are all selected by Manager Yuan from the shop." An Ge said as he placed a thin booklet in his hand in front of Li Yunye.
"Well, I naturally believe in Manager Yuan's vision, but I'll let Brother Mu Liang take a look after he comes back." Li Yunye roughly flipped through the detailed records of the three newcomers' information, but did not pay full attention to it. Except for Lu Zhi, whom he had met, how could he know about the other two people just by relying on these?
"Yes, sir." Ange nodded in response.
"Tomorrow you will give this to the accountant and ask them to follow this model in their accounting. If you have any questions, please ask me directly." Li Yunye casually handed the paper he had just written to An Ge and instructed.
"Yes, sir." Ange took the paper and responded again.
"Sir, there is a young man named Zeng Si outside looking for you." At this time, a servant came to the door of the study and reported.
The three people in the study were all surprised when they heard Zeng Si's words. He was also the benefactor of the Li family. Why did he suddenly visit at this time?
"Please come in." Li Yunye quickly stood up and instructed the servant outside.
Seeing the young master's excitement, the servant also knew that the guest was an honorable guest, so he responded and turned to run to the gate of the mansion and invited the three people waiting outside to the front hall.
Although Xuanyu was once a well-known courtesan in Qile City, she was now dressed in dark clothes, holding a sword and wearing a veil. The servants in the Li Mansion naturally did not associate her with the former courtesan of Qile City.
"Xuanyu." When the servant in the mansion invited the three visitors to the front hall, Li Yunye had already been waiting there. After An Ge sent the servant away, he slowly called to Xuanyu.
Although he should be happy to meet his good friend again, but now when he sees Yan Yu he thinks of the tragic situation on the mountain road that day and his father's death... Li Yunye's eyes can't help but turn red again.
"Mr. Li has passed away. I hope Mr. Li will mourn for him." Seeing the sadness in Li Yunye's eyes, Yan Yu walked forward and comforted him in a gentle voice.
"How have you been lately?" Li Yunye nodded gratefully to Yanyu, holding back the tears in his eyes, and then asked.
"Xuanyu, the city gates are about to close, so let's talk about business first." Without waiting for Xuanyu to answer, Zeng Si on the side reminded her with a sullen face.
"Mr. Zeng, are you still going out of the city so late?" Li Yunye asked with concern upon hearing this.
Zeng Si said nothing, just turned his face away and nodded coldly.
Seeing that Zeng Si was still ignoring him, Li Yunye felt a little embarrassed, but the other party was the savior of the Li family, so he couldn't blame him for it.
"Mr. Li, I came to visit you suddenly today because I have something important to ask of you." Only then did Yan Yu hide the tenderness in her eyes and pulled Hong Nu to her side.
"You are the saviors of my Li family. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Just consider this as a chance for me to repay you." Li Yunye felt a little disappointed when he saw that Yan Yu was still so distant with him, so he had to be polite.
"I need to go to Southern Xinjiang, but the journey is long and I don't know when I can return. Hongnu is young, and I can't bear to let her go with me, so I want to entrust her to the Li family."
"I thought it was something important. Isn't it just asking the Li family to take care of Hongnu? Just ask. Why bother being polite with me?" After hearing what Yanyu said, Li Yunye sighed helplessly, then turned to Ange and said, "You and Hongnu are old acquaintances. You should take care of her more in the future."
"Yes, sir." Ange responded with his eyes slightly lowered.
He recognized Hong Nu at the very beginning. After not seeing her for a year, she had grown into a very beautiful young lady, so he dared not look at her directly as he did before.
"Girl, you must take good care of yourself in the future and be careful about everything. Remember to come and see Hongnu when you have time." Hongnu's eyes were filled with tears at this time, and she looked at Yanyu reluctantly.
"Don't worry, Hongnu, I will protect your girl." Zeng Si smiled at Hongnu.
Hongnu wiped her tears and nodded with relief.
However, Xuanyu ignored Zeng Si and looked up at Li Yunye.
Huanyu and Hongnu naturally understood Zeng Si's thoughts. He said it on purpose for Li Yunye to hear.
When Li Yunye saw that Huanyu had Zeng Si by her side to protect her, he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart. But since Huanyu didn't tell him clearly, he didn't dare to ask too much.
Seeing this, Ange finally understood why Zeng Si disliked the Young Master so much. It turned out that he regarded the Young Master as a love rival. But now the Young Master no longer had the same feelings for Miss Xuanyu as before and only treated her as a friend.
