Chapter 8 Do You Know How to Act?
Thinking of the lunch that Xu Shuhe had specially sent today, Chen Zhi felt a little touched.

He nodded and said, "It tastes good. Thanks for taking the trouble."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "Lunch is also prepared in the store, so you don't have to be so troublesome in the future."

"How can it be a trouble?" Xu Shuhe walked to the tea table, motioned him to sit down, and then continued while pouring tea, "It was fine when I wasn't here before, but now that I'm here, I naturally have to take good care of my husband's diet and daily life. The food in the shop is not as good as what we cook at home. I see that my husband is too thin, he should be well nourished."

As he spoke, Xu Shuhe glanced at Chen Zhi's waist.

I thought to myself that this child is really skinny but has a thick waist.

But when Chen Zhi saw her looking at his waist, his face turned red.

After sitting down, he took the teacup and whispered, "I only look thin, but I am physically strong."

"What did my husband say?" Xu Shuhe didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.

Chen Zhi was too embarrassed to repeat himself, so he just waved his hand and said, "No, nothing, I just said this tea is good."

"Really? I'm not very good at tasting tea." Xu Shuhe said casually.

After this sentence, the room became quiet.

I don’t know what to talk about since we’ve only known each other for a short time.

Fortunately, the awkwardness didn't last long, as the head maid Tinglan came in from outside and reported that Mother Qiu from Wanshuangzhai had come to deliver something.

"Please come in." Xu Shuhe ordered.

Soon, Mother Qiu came in with Tinglan, smiling.

It was Songqiu, Feng's personal servant. Now that she was middle-aged, she had become more respectable and was called Mother Qiu in the mansion.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, I am here to deliver the gift that Young Madam will bring back home tomorrow. Madam prepared it very carefully, so it has been delayed until now. It should have been delivered this morning."

"Oh, we had already arranged everything ourselves. Now that the mother-in-law has joined, there are a lot more things to take care of. We'd like to trouble Mother Qiu to make a trip." Xu Shuhe said with a smile.

Mother Qiu waved her hands hurriedly, "Third Young Master's wife is too polite. It is my responsibility. Preparing return gifts is also a proper etiquette. Madam has been thinking about it all the time. I am preparing it according to the example of the Second Young Master's wife!"

"It's said that mother-in-law loves us." Xu Shuhe also pretended to be happy, "Mother Qiu, come over and have some tea before leaving?"

"No, no, I have to go back to serve the Madam. I'm leaving now." Mother Qiu refused with a smile.

Xu Shuhe then said, "Then take care, Mom. Tinglan, please give Mom Qiu a good send-off for me."

After receiving her order, Tinglan, who was standing at the door, responded, turned around and accompanied her out.

At this moment, Xu Shuhe also quickly gave Xinyue a look, and the latter understood and immediately followed him out quietly without making any sound.

It was only after Mother Qiu left that Chen Zhi spoke in a cold voice.

"You don't need to be so polite to her."

"Then what should we do? Should we just turn our backs on them?" Xu Shuhe glared at him. "They haven't broken up yet. If we can't sit still, then when the news gets out, it will all be our fault. We will no longer be right. Do you understand, kid?"

"Ok?"

The word "child" made Chen Zhiwei stunned. He looked up at Xu Shuhe in confusion.

When Xu Shuhe realized what was happening, he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

It just comes out of my mouth.

In the original world, she had a young apprentice in the company, a kid who had just graduated from college. He couldn't hide his true feelings on his face and was too straightforward, so he suffered a lot.

Seeing Chen Zhi's dead face just now, Xu Shuhe got used to using that suffix while talking. "In short, in short, don't show your emotions on your face. Even if you don't like it, just deal with it now." Xu Shuhe interrupted hurriedly.

It’s not that Chen Zhi really doesn’t understand these principles, it’s just that he was cheated so badly in his previous life. Now that he has lived again, he feels a little angry when he sees these hypocritical people again.

But hearing the tone Xu Shuhe used to scold him just now, and thinking back to what he heard when he pretended to be drunk on the wedding night, Chen Zhi felt a little suspicious.

He looked the woman up and down, and then asked, "How old are you this year?"

"I just turned seventeen." Xu Shuhe sat down.

Thinking that Chen Zhi asked this, he was probably worried about what he had just said, so he pretended to be embarrassed and spoke in a low voice.

"I lost my father when I was young, and have been dependent on my mother for many years. Life is always harder for women, so my character may be a little strong. Husband, don't dislike me, I will change in the future."

As she said this, she bit her lower lip slightly and held the handkerchief tightly in her hand. Her eyes were wet, like a puppy who was afraid of being thrown away, so pitiful.

Why does it look like a dog? Because Chen Zhi raised one when he was young.

In short, Chen Zhi suddenly felt that he deserved to die. The other person was clearly doing this for his own good, but he still hurt her feelings.

So he immediately said, "How could that be? You are very good like this. Women shouldn't be so delicate."

"Really? I'm glad that my husband doesn't dislike me." Xu Shuhe curled her lips and smiled, looking innocent and cute.

Chen Zhi nodded, feeling a little impatient, and said, "You take your time to clean up first. I have a few account books in my study that I haven't finished reading yet. I'll go take a look at them now."

He still wasn't used to getting along with Xu Shuhe, and felt a sense of nervousness and awkwardness that he couldn't explain.

Xu Shuhe hadn't finished his own work yet, so he naturally nodded and let him go.

It's a good thing that children are willing to learn. From this perspective, it might be a good idea to train them in the business field.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhe immediately called out the system in his mind as soon as Chen Zhi left.

The system without the golden finger is very simple. The picture presented in Xu Shuhe's mind is Chen Zhi's basic information and four attribute bars, which are marked with the four words "scholar", "farmer", "worker" and "merchant" respectively.

As long as any one of these four attribute values ​​reaches 80%, Xu Shuhe's mission will be completed, regardless of time.

As long as she completes the task, she will be able to return to her original world.

As expected, the various values ​​presented in front of Xu Shuhe at this time showed that the merchant category had the highest value, which was 35%, followed by the scholar category, which had 15%, and the other two categories, agriculture and industry, had only a pitiful 5 each.

Xu Shuhe was puzzled, so he silently asked the system in his heart, "Why is Chen Zhi born in a business family, and he is already 20 years old, but his business attribute is still so low? Is it a mistake?"

"This value is a comprehensive assessment, consisting of three items: knowledge reserves, practical experience, and actual achievements. Therefore, when the host is training the task object, these three items cannot be missing~"

The system immediately gives a thoughtful answer.

When Xu Shuhe heard this, she thought, this is great, great. She had been thinking that if Chen Zhi earned a certain amount of money, she would be able to complete the task. Well, it's not that easy.

"Young lady."

Xinyue's voice came from the door, bringing Xu Shuhe's thoughts back to reality.

Xu Shuhe looked towards the door and saw Xinyue walking in quickly and closing the door.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?"

Just now she asked Xinyue to follow Mother Qiu and Tinglan to check it out, and it looked like there should be some gains.

"They are indeed cautious, but I followed them for a while and indeed got something out of it. The young lady was right. That Tinglan is a traitor!" Xinyue looked angrily.
