Chapter 178: The Master is Angry, Second Watch (2)_1
No matter what, since she had spoken her words, he couldn’t insist anymore. After pausing for a moment, he sighed helplessly, "In that case, I won’t push for it. But Wei’er, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to seek me out."
Cai Wei laughed, "Of course, I already have a favor to ask of Young Master Huo!"
"What is it?" Huo Yuan asked.
Cai Wei said, "I want to ask Young Master Huo to help me find an elderly man from Canhangli to oversee my business. As long as this person is modest and upright, it’s alright to offer him a higher salary."
Huo Yuan pondered for a moment, and said, "There may not be an elderly person available, but there is a capable one."
Cai Wei’s interest was piqued at his words and she hurriedly asked, "Who is it, Young Master Huo? Please tell me!"
Huo Yuan shook his head with a smile, "Listen to you, calling me ’Young Master Huo’ all the time. I’ve been calling you Wei’er already, but you insist on keeping a distance from me. It’s really heartbreaking."
Cai Wei was not a stickler for formalities. Hearing his complaint, she cheerfully called out, "Big Brother Huo!"
Huo Yuan then nodded with a smile, and continued speaking.
"The person I want to recommend to Wei’er is the adopted son of Shopkeeper Situ from Canhangli in Bianzhou, named Situ Changge. Despite his young age of only twenty-one, he is remarkably astute, prudent and steady. Having been under the tutelage of Shopkeeper Situ since a young age, he has honed skills matching those of his father. I was thinking of transferring him to be the chief shopkeeper of Canhangli in the capital, but since Little Sister Wei’er has requested, I guess I have to give him up."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei was overjoyed and thanked him profusely, "In that case, thank you for your sacrifice, Big Brother Huo!"
