If it were the lady of the house who gave him clothes, Zack would gladly accept them. With gratitude, he said, "Thank you, Madam! You are truly kind to me, the lady of the house. If there is anything in the future, just let me know. I may not read many books, but I have a strong arm and am skilled and hardworking!"
Ly Su Su smiled with amusement at Zack's slightly naive and simple-minded words, feeling a sense of warmth towards him.
At this moment, Ly Su Su looked around curiously and was surprised. "Why are there only two of you here? Are there no others?"
Zack shook his head. "No, it's just the two of us and the young master."
Ly Su Su was even more surprised. "In such a large courtyard, why didn't you invite someone to take care of it?"
Why didn't they invite someone to take care of it? Of course, it was convenient for running away, laziness, and wasting money!
Lion was about to make an excuse, but Zack answered, "The time when the lady of the house spoke, the young master said that we are both important elders, we can take care of ourselves and don't need to invite anyone!"
Ly Su Su was even more surprised. "You didn't invite anyone?"
How could they not invite anyone?
As officials, they had many duties to attend to, and if they didn't invite anyone, how could they handle them?
Moreover, even if it was just a small ceremony, they would still invite several people to represent them. As officials, they had to pay attention to such matters.
As a small example, a high-ranking official would invite people to take care of his daily life and entertain guests.
Again, you're so greedy for money, what's the point of spending some money to invite people back?
However, after thinking about it, I didn't ask in the end.
Because the two of them didn't have a close relationship, it would be annoying to push too hard.
At this moment, Lion took out some money and said: "Zack, no one comes to the house often, so why don't you go buy some good food and wine!"
"Okay, young master, I'll change into regular clothes and go buy them!" Zack accepted the money and ran off.
Only Lion, Ly Su Su, and Little Thuy were left.
Ly Su Su pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "Sir, can I take the little girl around for a while?"
"Of course!" Lion nodded.
Taking the opportunity, Lion took Ly Su Su on a tour.
As they walked together, Ly Su Su realized that there were no other people around and nothing worth buying or playing with her.
The only person who is allowed to be called "chief" is the manager who is considered clean and tidy.
Because the institute is large and has few people, the situation is clearly visible.
This is not to give her the impression that she only has a slight curiosity about Lion.
Outside, it is rumoured that Lion is a greedy official who embezzles large sums of money, even daring to take bribes. He is truly bottomless in his greed and disregards the law.
But now, it seems completely different!
Is there anyone who is greedy for money and power but doesn't enjoy it later?
Then no one wants to invite them!
Basically, there is no trace of an official demeanour!
Compared to other officials, he can be said to be extremely stingy!
At this time, Lion led them into an elegant room and said, "Miss Su Su, this is your room! It used to belong to the wife of Master Ta who was punished because of greed, but I have taken over the management and it is now available for you to use!"
"Thank you, sir!" Ly Su Su bowed slightly.
"And there's Little Thuy, your maid, right next door!" Lion said.
"Thank you, sir!" Little Thuy happily responded.
"If you have any problems, come to me for help!"
Ly Su Su shook her head. "Sir has already taken care of everything perfectly. How could we trouble you with small matters?"
"Alright, no problem. I'll call for you all later tonight!" Lion left with his figure, and a complicated expression flashed in Ly Su Su's beautiful eyes.
Dinner came very quickly.
Two tables were set up, with Lion and Ly Su Su at one, and Zack and little Thuy at the other. The table was filled with delicious food, including chicken, duck, and fish, as well as some fresh vegetables. The wine was high-quality rice wine.
However, Ly Su Su was surprised to see the food on one of the tables.
It was because she was used to eating only the best quality meats, with ten different kinds of delicacies on the table, and sauces that made one's mouth water. But now, there was no sauce, and even the meat was not cleanly prepared.
Normally, she drank the finest wines that were smooth and sweet, leaving one with a clear head. But this rice wine was a bit cloudy and bitter.
Ly Su Su put down her chopsticks and asked, "Sir, do you normally eat these things?"
Lion shook his head. "Normally, I don't eat these things! I can't even stomach all the meat, and the wine doesn't suit my taste! It's only because I have money now that I can afford to eat something better. And with you all here, we can have a more luxurious meal today!" He laughed.
Seeing Lion's innocent smile, Ly Su Su was shocked.
At this moment, Zack, who was chewing a large piece of meat, nodded and said, "That's right. I used to live with the young master, and we were both struggling. We could only afford to eat meat once a month, so it's not so bad to have meat every meal now! This kind of place is so different from before. Every meal has meat! This is still the first time we've had such a rich meal! That's why I say, reading books with money is still the best way to go! Haha!"
Ly Su Su became even more panicked.
If it were said that Lion could still lie, then Zack would not be able to do so. Because the viewer would be naive and foolish, unable to hide anything, unable to act like that.
Ly Su Su fell into contemplation. In the past, it was understandable that she had little money, and could barely make ends meet.
But now, why are you still suffering when you have so much greed for money?
You are so greedy for money, where do you spend it?
