The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 13: Willing to Become an Adopted Father (Please collect and read)

"Competition management?" Li Xuan's eyes showed curiosity.

He knew that the Leng Palace was divided according to positions, from top to bottom: general manager, general manager, steward, and handyman.

There is only one general manager and general manager, which is equivalent to the president and secretary.

There are two stewards, who are equivalent to department managers.

These two stewards took the public area of ​​the dining hall as the north-south dividing line and managed the areas on the left and right sides of Leng Palace respectively.

Eunuch Chen manages the area on the left, and the other steward, Eunuch Xu, manages the area on the right.

Now that Eunuch Chen said that the stewardship was about to be vacant, he naturally did not refer to his own stewardship, but that of another Eunuch Xu.

Li Xuan heard Xiao Jizi say that Eunuch Xu was over fifty years old and had already reached the age of retirement and might retire at any time.

Mr. Chen said: "General Manager Lin has decided to allow Mr. Xu to return to his hometown after the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. At that time, all the handymen who have reached a certain level in "Strong Ox Demon Fist" will have the opportunity to run for the position of manager. "

"Xiao Xuanzi, although you have just come to Leng Gong, you do things in a measured way. As long as your "Strong Bull Demon Fist" can achieve a small success, our family will also recommend you to the general manager."

"Of course, whether you can win this managerial position depends on your own ability."

Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Chen, for your appreciation. I will practice hard and make "Strong Bull Demon Fist" a success as soon as possible. If I can win this position of manager, I will definitely pay homage to Eunuch Chen. As a foster father, I will listen to Eunuch Chen’s orders from now on."

He knew that Eunuch Chen recommended him not simply because he admired himself, but because he worked under Eunuch Chen.

After all, it is better for him to take the position of steward than for a handyman under Eunuch Xu to take the position of steward.

If I show my loyalty appropriately now, I can win the favor of Eunuch Chen.

As for the position of steward... Li Xuan naturally wants to compete for it.

Once he becomes a steward, he will have access to more useless concubines, and these are all experience points.

Hearing this, Eunuch Chen laughed and said, "As long as you have the heart, practice hard. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come and ask us."

He has no children, and there are many people who want to be his adopted son, but not everyone is qualified.

If Li Xuan couldn't master "Powerful Bull Demon Fist" to a small degree within two months, then he would naturally regard what Li Xuan said today as fart.

"Thank you, Eunuch Chen." Li Xuan said respectfully.

He knew that Eunuch Chen had not just chosen him as a candidate for stewardship.

However, within two months, he was confident that he would stand out from the crowd of candidates.

"Well, go and get busy." Eunuch Chen said with a smile.

"Yes."

Li Xuan bowed and left slowly.

As usual, breakfast meals were delivered to the four ladies one by one.

Then I chatted with the ladies for a while to enhance our relationship.

Unfortunately, the favorability seems to have reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve it just by flattering and talking.

'It seems that we still need to do something substantial based on the identity and character of these empresses. Li Xuan thought to himself.

He took a rough look at the current favorability of the four empresses.

Empress Duanmu's favorability rating: 80, ranking first.

Empress Xiao’s favorability score: 75, ranking second.

Luo Niangniang and Zhao Niangniang both have a favorability score of 70, tied for third place.

If you want to increase the favorability of the four empresses to 100, I'm afraid it will take some time.

……

Around eight in the evening.

Li Xuan and Xiao Jizi walked out of the house and headed to the small night market.According to Xiaoyoshi, Xiaoye Market is located in a palace one mile outside Lenggong.

This palace once imprisoned Queen Xiaozhuang. After the death of Queen Xiaozhuang, the palace was abandoned.

Nowadays, it can be regarded as a waste utilization and serves as a venue for holding night markets of various sizes.

Xiao Jizi looked like he was asking for credit and said, "Brother Xuan, let me tell you something."

"what?"

"I heard that in a few months, Eunuch Xu will retire from his position as a manager. At that time, all the handymen who have practiced "Strong Bull Demon Fist" to a small degree will have the opportunity to compete for this position. It’s a stewardship position.”

Li Xuan curled his lips and thought to himself that the news spread really fast.

There are absolutely no secrets in this cold palace.

He glanced at Xiao Jizi and said, "Why are you so excited? You haven't even entered the door."

Xiao Jizi sneered: "Aren't I happy for you, Brother Xuan? With Brother Xuan's talent, he will definitely be able to practice "Strong Bull Demon Fist" to a small degree within a few months, and then he will be a strong candidate for management. If Brother Xuan becomes a steward in the future, I hope to support and support my younger brother."

Of course, he said this purely out of flattery.

According to the normal speed of cultivation, it would take at least half a year, or even longer, to go from beginner level to a small level of cultivation.

Unless you ignore the injuries caused by martial arts training and take drugs like crazy.

Li Xuan didn't care about Xiao Jizi's flattery and said calmly: "How can it be so simple? If you want to seize the position of manager, practicing "Strong Bull Demon Fist" to a small degree is just the most basic condition, right?"

He was determined to compete for the position of steward, so he also wanted to know the twists and turns.

Although Xiao Jizi has only joined the Cold Palace for about half a year, he is well-informed and may know some things.

Xiao Jizi thought for a while and said: "Indeed, in addition to practicing "Strong Bull Demon Fist" to a small level, you also need to be recommended by the manager. After that, there is the general manager assessment. I don't know what specific assessments will be carried out. Yes, there might be a competition."

If it's just a duel, I won't give in. I just have to hold back and fight, so that I don't get caught out. It's best to practice one or two more martial arts... Li Xuan thought in his heart and couldn't help but say:

"There won't be any handyman who got this management position through connections, right?"

Li Xuan knew very well that coming out to hang out was all about being a worldly person.

If someone comes through the back door, there's nothing he can do.

Xiaojizi scratched his head: "This shouldn't be possible. If someone really had a connection, the news of running for steward would not have spread, and the quota would have been determined long ago."

Li Xuan held his chin and nodded slightly: "That's right, let's wait and see."

Although he wanted to get this stewardship position, he was not in such a hurry.

Even if he can't get it, with his current progress, he can reach the Xiantian realm in less than a year, which is considered to be more than most warriors.

Of course, you still have to work hard.

During this time, I have to find ways to please Eunuch Chen, at least to make myself have a good impression on him.

'All transactions of favors are money. Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

He now has no more than ten taels of belongings in his body, most of which were left over from the original owner when he entered the palace.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Xuan and Xiao Jizi stopped not far from a remote and deserted palace.

There were thick weeds all around, giving off a cold feeling.

"Brother Xuan, this is it. Let's put on a mask and go in." Xiao Jizi put on the mask he had prepared long ago on his face.

In small night markets, most people are afraid of bumping into acquaintances, so they basically wear masks to hide their identities.

Li Xuan also put on a monkey face mask, followed Xiao Jizi, and walked slowly towards the palace in front.
