Chapter 477 (2/2)

When she told Chen Liang her idea, his heart instantly fluttered with bubbling joy since he had never been regarded so importantly by his boss.

The students who practiced martial arts in the academy had always possessed a special kind of reverence for Helian Wei Wei.

It was not only because she was the boss of Wei Ze World, but more importantly, everyone else only focused on the young masters and mistresses in the Superior Compound while treating the rest with a lukewarm att.i.tude.

However, Helian Wei Wei was different. She did not care which compound anyone was from, and would not marginalize them according to their backgrounds. She often explained the proper methods of using materials in order to perform lighter martial arts to them.

Even to this day, Chen Liang would still look at his boss starry-eyed.

He really did not expect Helian Wei Wei to become an official. After all, politics was not an easy career path.

He took dozens of tests but failed to pa.s.s any of them.

Who would’ve known that Boss would become a magistrate right after she graduated from the academy, she is truly impressive!

That’s why people say that children are too naive, they still don’t know how to use the back-door.

Helian Wei Wei caressed Chen Liang’s head and said, “It has been a tough journey for you to grow like this.”

“Governor Chen is the one who has it rough,” Baili Jia Jue casually interjected with snark.

Chen Liang was speechless…

Why do I feel like I’m constantly being teased?

It was almost dusk now.

The news of road construction in Fuping County traveled like wildfire throughout the provincial capital. Magistrate Liao was thrown into the spotlight, as officials from other counties begged to meet him. Even if they did not get a morsel of the prize, they could still use the chance to gain his favor. After all, he would surely be promoted when he finished the project. It would be wise to do it now rather than trudging to the Capital to meet him later.

Since Old Master Yan was Magistrate Liao’s long-time partner, his benefits were safely a.s.sured. Even Private Advisor Zhang was respected by people wherever he went.

He was holding a teapot when he saw Helian Wei Wei and the others walking into the yamen. He spoke loudly, “Our Lord Wei has returned after going to the provincial capital to raise funds for the villagers. How did it go? Did you meet anyone in the provincial capital?”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at him and merely smiled, without saying a word.

Private Advisor Zhang immediately knew the answer when he saw that only one more person came back with her. If Lord Wei had managed to meet anyone and received the money, she would not return in such a state. Someone would have at least accompanied her on her journey home.

Furthermore, he did not receive any letters from the provincial capital about any meetings. Thus, Lord Wei surely had not even scratched the surface in meeting them.

Private Advisor Zhang did not realize that Helian Wei Wei had not only obtained the money but also brought someone’s beloved son from the province. He thought that she returned with empty hands when he saw her and said sarcastically, “Sigh, that’s how life is sometimes. Not everything can be done by trying your best. Some doors would only open with the right connections. Lord Wei do not need to be depressed about this.”

Private Advisor Zhang poured some tea and sipped it arrogantly as he spoke, his gloating expression was utterly detestable.

Helian Wei Wei patiently responded to him, “Am I depressed?”

“Of course, I can tell.” Private Advisor Zhang put down the teapot.

Chen Liang thought to himself when he heard it. Who is this old man, why is he so arrogant?

Then, he heard Private Advisor Zhang opening his mouth again…
