After everyone finished eating, they were not in a hurry to leave. They all looked at the patched young man standing respectfully outside.
The patched young man kept his head lowered from beginning to end, and even the strong wind outside did not affect his standing posture.
Seeing the rough spots on the young man's hands, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but said:
"Boss, why don't you let him in? It's windy outside and his clothes are thin."
"Um~ I never told him to wait outside from the beginning to the end. As soon as he came, he stood at the door and looked into the inn and didn't come in. I thought he was waiting for others to come in together."
Qiu Sheng was stunned and looked at the patched young man again. Looking back, my boss never said anything about asking this person to wait outside. I couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy, he must not be a fool.
The patched young man naturally heard the conversation in the inn. He raised his head and met Qiu Sheng's eyes, and couldn't help but twitch the muscles in his face. What's with the sympathetic look in your waiter's eyes? You think I don't want to go in. Although I have never been in contact with your boss, there is a classic saying in the East Island: It is better to seize the grain and the sky than to disturb An Xin. Although your boss didn't say not to let me in, he didn't say he would let me in either.
When everyone saw that the patched young man was still in a daze, they immediately put aside the pity they felt for the young man. An Xin spoke so clearly and still stood in a daze at the door. There was something wrong with his brain.
After thinking about it, everyone dispersed and started busy themselves.
Qiu Sheng and Li Waner put away the dishes and chopsticks in the back kitchen and washed them. Qin Huai and Liu Ruyue took some money from the counter and went to Xijiekou to look at the new Rouge.
Chao Feng and Yin Ren consciously sat next to An Xin and looked at the patched young man outside the door like a fool. Since they are from the East Island, they naturally do not need to avoid matters on the East Island.
"No, why are you standing there? Come in and have a chat."
An Anxin saw that the patched young man was still in a daze at the door and couldn't help but call him in, but his psychological rating was lowered a lot.
After hearing An Xin's words, the patched young man quickly wiped the dust off his feet, dusted off his thin clothes, and stepped into the inn.
After entering the inn, the young man did not speak but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to An Xin respectfully. Then he knelt heavily on the ground.
An Xin was confused. What kind of player is this? It's not a good habit to kneel down all the time. After thinking about it, he said:
"Get up, you are a disciple of Qimen Island, and I am a disciple of Main Island. According to the rules of East Island, you don't need to kneel to me."
After hearing An Xin's words, Patch Youth quickly thanked him and said:
"Thank you, Uncle An."
An Xin didn't care about the young man's reaction and went ahead to open the letter and read it. The content of the letter was very simple, just a piece of white paper with Gu Tian's seal on it.
An Xin understood what his senior brother meant when he saw this piece of white paper. This makes me feel that I belong to Qimen Island. If the young man in front of him is qualified, he will be the next generation of Qimen Island owner. If he is not qualified, he will be just a blank piece of paper.
Of course, at this time, An Xin was already thinking about using this blank piece of paper to write an IOU of tens of thousands taels to his senior brother.
"Introduce yourself."
The patch young man heard An Xin's question and quickly replied:
"Uncle An, my name is Huang Yi. I joined the East Island 19 years ago. Currently, I have mastered the 3100 West Bureau of Qimen Bureau."
"Well, his ability is better than Shutian's. Do you want to be the island leader?"
An Xin looked at Huang Yi and asked seriously.
When Huang Yi heard An Xin's question, he raised his head and answered seriously:
"think!"
"Hmm! To be honest, I don't like you. In terms of professionalism, you are remarkable, but you don't know enough about the current situation in Dongdao. I have observed you from the first time you came to the inn, and there is nothing superior about you. But I am still willing to give you a chance. You only need to answer one question. If you satisfy me, you will be the owner of Qimen Island. If you are not satisfied, you can go back."
Huang Yi's heart sank when he heard An Xin's words, but then he managed to muster some strength and said seriously:
"Uncle An, please ask a question."
"Now I give you 100 taels of silver, what will you do?"
Huang Yi was stunned, subconsciously said "ah" and said uncertainly:
"Uncle An, what's the problem?"
"Think carefully before answering. You only have one chance."
Huang Yi was confused. What kind of question is this? How do you want me to answer it? Relief to the poor, filial piety and peace of mind, or... and what does this question have to do with being the island owner. Forget it, it's probably because this uncle doesn't want him to be the island master, so he should embarrass himself, so be patient. After thinking about it, he said:
"Uncle An, I will buy myself a good outfit and use the rest to improve my life."
"Well, the island owner is yours, just sign it yourself."
An Xin said and flew the white paper to Huang Yi using a hidden weapon.
Huang Yi took the paper and was confused. What is this? But looking at the white paper with Gu Tian's personal seal in his hand, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow down.
He had been waiting for this day for too long. As a disciple with no background, he was assigned to do odd jobs on Qimen Island. He thought he would gain Shutian's trust with his own efforts. But later I found that the more outstanding I was, the more displeased I was. I often found excuses to deprive myself of my salary. I originally wanted to expose Shutian, but in the end I endured it. Who would believe my words as a disciple with no roots and no feet?
An Xin looked at Huang Yi and was not in a hurry to disturb the young man's thoughts. After all, it would be like this if anyone made a qualitative leap in status.
But Yin Ren on the side couldn't see the man crying and cursed:
"It's just an island owner. I'll make you happy."
When Huang Yi heard Yin Ren's scolding, he quickly realized that he was a little rude and borrowed a pen and paper. Write the appointment letter on Qimen Island and sign it with your name.
When signing, he was obviously a little excited and his handwriting was crooked. But he didn't dislike it at all. Once he signed this, he squeezed into the top level of this world.
He dried the appointment letter and handed it to An Xin. After checking it An Xin, he returned it to him and said:
"You have just become the island owner of Qimen Island, and you have not yet achieved any impressive results. I will hand over Shutian to you. He has committed the sin of the old man suppressing the new man. Now there are many disciples who hate him on Qimen Island. You Take advantage of it.”
......
The wind was still blowing, mixed with the cold air from the south of the Yangtze River, causing passersby's faces to hurt.
Huang Yi left the inn and walked on the road facing the stinging cold wind. Instead of rushing back to Dongdao, he ran to a nearby clothing store and took out all his savings to buy himself an outfit.
He left the patched clothes in the clothes shop and walked to Dongdao. Walk away with your head held high and a smile on your face.
......
In the inn, Yin Ren asked in confusion:
"Boss, what does 100 taels have to do with being the island owner?"
An Xin waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. It's just that my senior brother wanted him to be the island leader, so I just asked him a random question and asked him to answer it. In fact, his answers were the same."
"Well, I'm not the boss. Are you a little sloppy?"
"There is nothing rash. Since my senior brother asked him to bring me this stamped white paper, it means that my senior brother has recognized him. Why should I refute my senior brother's reputation?
My senior brother is the owner of the island. He wants Huang Yi to be the owner of the island. Naturally, it is impossible for him to take fancy to his abilities. You have also seen that Huang Yi, apart from being somewhat professional, does not have the ability to be the owner of the island, neither in matters of work nor in the city. "
"Um~ So what does Gu Tian like about him?"
Yin Ren asked doubtfully.
"I don't care about anything, it's just that Shutian's incident happened. In order to stabilize the mood of the disciples on each island, he specifically wanted to promote Huang Yi to the top, so that each disciple would feel that there is room for promotion in Dongdao as long as you work hard.
Otherwise, just a dull disciple with no roots and no feet would want to be the island leader. It's just wishful thinking. Without background, it's useless to rely on hard work alone to turn things around. "
An Xin helplessly answered Yin Ren's question.
"But, I don't seem to have a background now. Why can I be the owner of the island? Am I both smart and different?"
"Well, you probably have some misunderstandings about the background of your ancestors. Your family has a wide range of interpersonal relationships in the world. Although your family has declined, it does not mean that it does not exist. As long as you are in power again, your family's previous interpersonal relationships will be restored. Come back. Even some of the island owners and cave owners on the East Island have some friendship with your family. Besides, your family background is much more knowledgeable than that of Huang Yi. It's natural for you to be the island owner."
