MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 89 Zhou An: I quit

Chapter 89 Zhou An: I quit

 When Zhou An replied with "you", all the police officers present turned their attention.

 The expression on everyone’s face is different.

 Some were surprised, some were doubtful, and some were watching a good show.

This new official has three fires to take office, and the first fire has already started to burn.

 Zhou An's behavior at this time, in their eyes, was just making trouble.

This is the same as in the workplace. When a person starts to cause trouble, other colleagues will look at him with gloating eyes.

  “If you have any opinions, you can put them forward.”

Wu Youde tried his best to keep his expression friendly, but he started to sneer in his heart.

The first step when he comes here is to rectify all these unhealthy tendencies, especially this gang of sneaky people.

 He was very satisfied with the performance of this group of agents just now, which meant that he had achieved the first step.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An showed a different attitude at this time, which made him a little angry, but also very happy.

The angry thing is that Zhou An dared to raise his opinion at this time, and the happy reason is that he can kill the chicken to honor the monkey.

No matter what Zhou An says later, he will inevitably get scolded.

“That’s right, I was forced to make a living, so I went to the kitchen to be a chef.” Zhou An said.

Wu Youde sneered in his heart and said: "Is that so? The salary given to you by the court is not enough? As far as I know, the salary given to the catchers by the court is above the passing line in Anding County."

How could Zhou An not know what Wu Youde meant, but he already had an idea.

 “That’s enough, but I think the money is too little.”

When Wu Youde heard this, he immediately became angry: "How dare you, as a court agent, have such thoughts!"

 Okay, that’s great!

 He ​​originally thought that Zhou An would stop talking after he said a few words. Although the meaning of killing chickens and respecting monkeys was there, it was not profound enough.

 Unexpectedly, Zhou An actually contradicted him, which was interesting enough.

Since you want to talk back to me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

“Zhou An, do you know that what you just said is already challenging my bottom line.”

"I don't know." Zhou An shrugged and said, "Master Wu, since you think I have challenged your bottom line, then this matter can be easily solved."

"Oh? How to solve it?" Wu Youde said slowly: "Let's do this, I will deduct two months of your salary first, and this matter will be ignored..."

"I quit."

Before Wu Youde could finish speaking, Zhou An had to say something first.

Wu Youde was about to say what he wanted to say next, when the words "Zhou An" came out and he was confused.

Not only him, but also the police officers present were all confused, and they all focused their attention on it.

 Everyone is echoing the four words Zhou An said just now.

"What did you say, you quit?" Wu Youde wanted to make sure he heard correctly.

Zhou An smiled and said: "Since Mr. Wu doesn't let me do this, I won't do it. It's not interesting anymore."

 He thought very clearly just now.

This Wu Youde obviously didn’t want the fishermen to continue fishing.

 Perhaps for the fishermen, not fishing is a little tiring, but the salary is still the same.

 But for Zhou An, it is not necessary.

 The reason why he continued to work as a fast-tracker was mainly due to two considerations.

 First of all, it is natural to have an official status.

 Second, it’s because my life is good now and I can master the fish liver proficiency.

 The second one is the highlight.

If you keep yourself busy and don’t have time to improve your proficiency, then what’s the point of keeping it?

Just because you have the lowest-level official status, let yourself give up the chance of liver proficiency?

 He just wanted to say, you are thinking shit.

 As for the source of the money, there are many ways, and we can continue to consider it later.

Wu Youde's face quickly became extremely gloomy when he heard Zhou An's answer.

 “Zhou An, are you sure?”

 He found that his strategy did not work and did not achieve the effect of killing the chicken and respecting the monkey.

 Because the chicken has now flown out of the cage.

  Not killed at all.

More importantly, when the chicken flew out, it blinded his eyes.

Now is the time to establish prestige, and suddenly Zhou An quits. Isn't that a slap in the face?

“Sir, if you don’t want to do it, you just don’t want to do it. I’m sure of it.” Zhou An shrugged.

Wu Youde's face became even more gloomy.

 But he also knew that Zhou An had already said this, and there was really no need for him to say any more. If he said any more, it would only be more embarrassing.

He could even feel that several of the detectives were suppressing their laughter.

"Okay, you go find someone, collect this monthly salary, and then pack up and leave." Wu Youde waved.

 “Okay.” Zhou An didn’t have any regrets and agreed happily.

From now on, I will be free. I have plenty of time to improve my proficiency, and I can do whatever I want.

Moreover, whatever happens in the yamen has nothing to do with me.

 Thinking about it this way, it’s very beautiful.

"Is there anything else you can do? If there is anything else you don't want to do, just say it quickly. I'll stop here. If you don't say it today, you won't have this opportunity in the future!"

Wu Youde felt that he had to make amends, so he said what he just said.

 What he means is that it will be his loss if he quits Zhou An, so don’t think about it.

I thought that for the sake of salary, no one in this group of agents would dare to stand up in front of me, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I finished speaking, another hand was raised.

Wu Youde cast an angry gaze over him: "You don't want to do it either?"

Yu Hang raised his hands and said very calmly: "I want to study, and I don't have time to be a catcher every day. Besides, my brothers don't work anymore, so it's boring for me to work here."

 Just now when Zhou An said he would quit, Yu Hang also had this plan.

　　Since all my brothers don’t do it, why do I still do it?

What's more, if you really follow Wu Youde's method, how much time will you have to read?

 The selection will be completed in a short time, and then it will be the imperial examination, so time is very tight.

"Okay, okay, you go with him too!" Wu Youde waved his sleeves angrily.

He felt that the first fire he had started today was extinguished by a large basin of water.

 But the key is that he can't reason with him yet. After all, others have stopped doing it, so what's the use of trying to reason with him?

 If you quit, it means you are a common man. You really don’t dare to use your power to oppress others.

 The emperor of Chu State once said something.

This means that no matter whether they are people in the industry or people in the four major categories, they are not as important as ordinary people. Ordinary people are the foundation of the great Chu country.

At that time, there was an official who thought that this was just a show of words, and he did something to oppress the people.

It was okay if this happened secretly and no one noticed, but he came in the open and reported to the capital.

This guy thinks that he is a second-rate scholar, so he feels that the most he can do is punish him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news in the capital, His Majesty sitting in the palace issued an imperial edict.

 Not long after, the official was beheaded.

Since then, everyone knows that if these people commit crimes, it’s okay. If they don’t commit crimes, if you dare to provoke them, your head will be chopped off. Wu Youde felt that he had been humiliated today, so he waved his sleeves and left without paying attention.

Zhou An and Yu Hang looked at each other, silently completed the departure procedures, put down all their official uniforms, and then walked out in casual clothes.

Before doing it, Zhou An went back home, exchanged the knife he made with the ordinary long knife he kept at home, and put the knife and pan into the money bag given by Ye Shuang, and then completed all the procedures. Done.

If you leave, you will not do it, and the caughtrs will become less.

These things are like this. No matter how long you work in one place, the relationship between colleagues will always stop at colleagues.

 Of course, although there are some examples, most of them are like this.

For example, right now, everyone talks pretty well on weekdays, but after Zhou An and Yu Hang left their jobs, they didn’t want to talk.

 After going out, it’s mostly just a matter of saying hello on the road.

 After leaving the county office, Zhou An asked Yu Hang what his recent plans were.

“Studying, I have saved a lot of money recently, which is enough for me to pass the imperial examination. If I really fail to pass the examination, I will find another job and continue to take the examination.”

Yu Hang is very free and easy. In fact, he has always been a free and easy person.

“By the way, Lao Zhou, what are you going to do? Don’t do anything illegal, otherwise my brother won’t be able to handle it.”

Zhou An smiled and said: "Lao Yu, it's not like you don't understand me. How can I do anything illegal? Let's just relax for a while and talk about it later."

 He has a plan.

　　From now on, you can go to the blacksmith shop to strike iron throughout the morning, and then in the afternoon and evening, you can stay at home and practice the chef's skills.

After he has upgraded the Fusion Casting Technique to Level 4 and the Chef Ding's Blade Technique to Level 5, he will then develop several other Level 4 skills.

 According to his current speed, it probably won't take long. After all, he is now full-time liver proficient.

　　I will do it if I think of it.

 Zhou An is a person with strong action ability.

"Lao Yu, you go back first, I have to go shopping."

Yu Hang didn’t ask anything. He knew that his brother was probably quite busy now.

 Although I don’t know what I am busy with, I don’t ask much about these things.

Even good brothers have to have a sense of boundaries sometimes, right?

Yu Hang said this and left directly.

 After Yu Hang left, Zhou An went to the blacksmith shop.

　　It was not far from the yamen to the blacksmith shop, but on the way, Zhou An really encountered something.

 On the wide and clean street, a carriage was driving slowly.

 There are also horse-drawn carriages passing through Anding County, but they are rarely encountered. After all, it is a remote and small county.

Zhou An stood nearby, waiting for the carriage to pass by. He looked at it subconsciously and immediately discovered something was wrong.

This carriage is very luxurious, not in terms of size, but in terms of various decorations on the outside. Just the horses pulling the carriage look shiny.

 Besides, around the carriage, there were about a dozen people wearing uniforms and holding weapons in their hands.

There were small traders next to him, and Zhou An also heard their exchanges.

“How come we have such a big family in this small county town?” a commoner said in a low voice.

Even ordinary people can see the difference in this carriage.

 Another commoner said in a very gossipy tone: "I heard that the people living in this carriage are people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

“Hey, if you are really from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, that would be great. This is one of the best chambers of commerce in the Chu Kingdom. Why do you want to come here?”

“You don’t understand this. This was brought by our county magistrate. I heard that when our magistrate was in the capital, he had the support of people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.”

“So it’s like this. It seems that our lord wants to do something big in Anding County... The Chamber of Commerce has circulation!”

“Anyway, if Anding County becomes prosperous because of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, we can make a little more money.”

 …

 Listening to the words of the people around him, Zhou An also got a rough idea.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is one of the top chambers of commerce in the Chu Kingdom.

  Chamber of Commerce, it can be described in two words.

  —Have money.

 They cover a wide range of areas, they can do anything, and anyone who has money will make money.

Of course, these were not what he was most concerned about last night. He felt that there was a reason for what Wu Youde did.

"It seems that he is not willing to stay in this small county. He wants to build Anding County well and then build it up." Zhou An thought.

This matter should be clear to all. After all, he fell from the capital. He was promoted openly and demoted secretly. No one would be convinced.

But he didn't expect that this guy was running a pretty good business in the capital, and that there was even the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce supporting him.

 But these things have nothing to do with you.

 He was just thinking about it, he had more important things to do.

 “It’s still proficiency that matters.”

Zhou An didn’t stay long. He probably just understood it and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

There are still many things to do, and he doesn’t have time to waste here.

 Without the position of catcher, Zhou An felt much more relaxed.

 After leaving this street, Zhou An walked towards the blacksmith shop without stopping or leaving any ink marks.

 “How come there are marks of wheels?”

On the way to the blacksmith's shop, he found traces of wheels on both sides of the road.

This trace is very much like a carriage.

Having just encountered a carriage, and now seeing the wheel marks of the carriage, Zhou An was reminded of the scene he just saw.

But he didn’t think much about it and continued to rush to the blacksmith shop.

 The wheel marks go all the way forward.

 Zhou An also moved forward and finally arrived at the blacksmith shop.

 At the door of the blacksmith shop, not far away, he stopped.

 Outside the blacksmith shop ahead, a carriage was parked.

 The guards surrounding the carriage blocked the door of the blacksmith shop.

 It feels like there is a big secret.

“Old Zhao is not a simple guy, but is he related to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce?” Zhou An thought when he saw this scene.

Even a fool can tell that the scene in front of him is not simple.

Zhou An tried to walk to the door, but before he could get close, two guards stretched out their hands to stop him.

“Brother, there is something going on in the blacksmith shop, please come back later.”

 The guards were very polite and did not conflict with Zhou An.

 Zhou An touched his chin.

 Everyone else is smiling, so he can't go up and slap him twice. This is not a good thing.

 He planned to wait outside and see what happened later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had this idea, a voice came from the room.
