Zhan Yan sat bewildered in the military camp, staring at the mound of official duties before him, still not having recovered fully.
This morning, suddenly a group of people had burst in, first inquiring about his na, and after confirming it, compared his appearance, then packed him up along with his entire family.
"Zhan Zhubu, work," Jiang Lu stared at Zhan Yan, curious to see what talents he had that could reduce Gu Shanhai’s lifespan by ten years.
"Mr. Jiang, this isn’t appropriate, is it? Just arriving and imdiately becoming Zhubu, it surely isn’t a match for my virtues." Zhan Yan also rembered; he had beco an accompanying military registrar, and furthermore, had a heap of work to do.
"Big brother, he’s unwilling, this might be troubling, otherwise, let’s extract juice from this kid, see if we can compensate the teacher." Wu Yan said with a heavy tone.
"I don’t eat humans..." Lying aside, Gu Shanhai spoke sowhat speechlessly, this lifespan wasn’t even given to Zhan Yan; squeezing juice could at most regain three to five years of lifespan, not actually a full ten years.
"Fellow heroes, perhaps... you could explain?" Zhan Yan was still confused up to this point.
Gu Shanhai looked at Jiang Lu rather peculiarly: "So you really didn’t explain anything before you kidnapped him?"
"Wasn’t it what you, teacher, said?" Jiang Lu looked back at Gu Shanhai with so confusion.
Gu Shanhai’s expression shook with shock: "Damn, didn’t you first try to recruit him? I ant that you should try to recruit him first and then kidnap his entire family if it doesn’t work out, how did you skip the first step?"
Hearing this, Zhan Yan was also shocked; the events he encountered today indeed caught him off guard.
Then, Jiang Lu finally started to explain to Zhan Yan, which settled his mind considerably.
"So Mr. Jiang thought I definitely wouldn’t agree, so you kidnapped ," Zhan Yan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, he hadn’t anticipated this developnt at all.
But upon reflection, the fact that they ca to him was a kind of recognition of his chance, after all, had they not co, he might have remained a downtrodden scholar just selling letters on the streets for his whole life.
"Exactly, my teacher thinks you have talent, so certainly you have it! Talented people always seek to join powerful forces, I thought I’d get a jump on it, so I had to use such ans," Jiang Lu replied with a rueful laugh.
"Since Mr. Jiang does not scorn , it is excellent for Zhan to seek a livelihood under Mr. Jiang’s command." Zhan Yan thought that although the other party was sowhat crude, they respected him and trusted him greatly, even entrusting him with handling all these military affairs.
Seeing this, Gu Shanhai also felt more at ease, at least he did not have to worry about him being targeted again for heavy labor, and the remaining few could spend ti studying military tactics, training soldiers, and other tasks.
Zhan Yan looked like a professional talent; initially, he was a bit unfamiliar with the job, but as he gradually beca acquainted with the various duties, he soon felt very adept.
What was supposed to be a day’s work for five people, Zhan Yan completed it within two hours.
"Mr. Gu? You’ve been lying down all day, you seem a bit lazy," Zhan Yan hesitantly asked.
"Yeah, I’m lazy, why else would I find you?" Gu Shanhai answered rather dismissively.
"..." Zhan Yan was speechless, so essentially, it was because you didn’t want to work, so you had him co.
"May I ask how you ca to know of , Mr. Gu?" Zhan Yan skipped the previous topic, curious, knowing Gu Shanhai had a peculiar status, and so things weren’t just sothing a newcor like him could casually inquire about, but he was too curious to help it.
"I divined to find you, even shortening my lifespan by ten years," Gu Shanhai answered truthfully; if the other party didn’t believe it, well, they didn’t have to, it wasn’t like he was forced to believe.
"Then why not find several more? Too costly in lifespan?" Zhan Yan asked.
"No, you are the only capable one nearby, the others just aren’t up to par." Gu Shanhai knew, now Jiang Lu’s temple is small, incapable of sustaining too many people; thus, naturally, quality prevails over quantity.
This made Zhan Yan sowhat moved: "Many talented scholars and nobles in the city, and they do not catch your eye, Mr. Gu?"
"That bunch of stinking fish and rotten shrimp? They are not worthy," Gu Shanhai expressed disdain.
Zhan Yan was an undiscovered SSR, not comparable to those aristocratic sons in terms of fa and power, but neither could those aristocratic sons asure up to him.
Though those sons of the nobility could rely on their resources to gain far more power and strength than Zhan Yan currently had, such undiscovered individuals, given a platform, could change the world.
Gu Shanhai’s high regard made Zhan Yan feel very comfortable, but also brought even greater doubts, like why he would choose him, over so fantastical things, he genuinely didn’t believe, in his view, a bigger likelihood was that Gu Shanhai had recognized his potential, hence recomnding him to Jiang Lu.
And to treat him as a core mber, not just as a simple registrar; though Jiang Lu was just a Colonel, and it was rely a nominal position, registrar was already the highest position.
"Then I thank Mr. Gu greatly for his appreciation," Zhan Yan said with a beaming smile, although his arrival wasn’t pleasant, upon actually interacting, he quite liked this pure environnt.
"My work here is done, ready to end my duty, Mr. Gu, shall we go together?" Zhan Yan picked up a pile of official docunts and stood to talk.
When he said end his duty, he actually ant to distribute these processing solutions for execution, otherwise, wouldn’t that just be like doing howork and then just leaving it there, what’s the difference?
