After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Jiang Xiaoqi was surprised to find that the family she had just randomly bought was very capable; Sister Li's cooking skills were really good.

At least every meal was cooked to his liking. Wenbin secretly said that Sister Li's cooking skills were much better than those of the cook in the Jiang family in Changshou Village.

Li Daniu, who was in charge of driving the carriage, was also strong and powerful. He looked just like his martial arts master, Lin Feng. Lin Feng had already moved into his new house and was looking for someone to install plum blossoms and archery targets.

Old Li, the doorman, was nearing fifty, but he was still sharp of hearing and sight. He could remember the name and relationship of anyone he had met only once. He was truly a born doorman.

Grandma Li was younger and worked efficiently and quickly. Jiang Xiaoqi originally wanted to hire a few more people to help clean the huge yard, but Grandma Li was actually equivalent to four or five people, keeping the yard extremely clean and tidy inside and out.

Even their youngest grandson is extremely clever and perceptive. Whenever they are asked to do something, he never misses a thing. When going to the bookstore to buy books or writing materials, no matter how complicated the book title is, he only needs to tell him once, and he never makes a mistake.

Jiang Xiaoqi had tested the boy several times, and it was true that he couldn't read, which only made things more astonishing. What kind of luck had he had to pick up such a family of scoundrels?

This family has so many amazing items!

Wenbin has been depressed these past few days, worried that his position in the young master's heart is in jeopardy. The reason is simple: his opponent is too cunning and too powerful.

That day, Jiang Xiaoqi was painting in his study when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He went out to see what was going on and found that Wenbin and Xiao Lizi were arguing.

"You brat, how dare you steal my job!" Wenbin said angrily.

"I just wanted to do something for the young master," Little Li explained, feeling wronged.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoqi chuckled inwardly; Wenbin was really acting like a child. However, he had to intervene now; if the servants weren't united, trouble would easily arise over time.

Jiang Xiaoqi stepped forward, patted Wenbin on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Alright, Wenbin, Xiao Li means well. There will be more and more things to do at home in the future, so why worry about not having a chance to work? Maybe there will be a lot of things that you two will need to do together."

Wenbin blushed upon hearing this, realizing he had embarrassed the young master. As an "old man" by the young master's side, he should set a good example and not let others think that the Jiang family was unruly.

Jiang Xiaoqi saw through his thoughts and said, "I know your loyalty, but as members of the Jiang family, we must not fight among ourselves. The fists of the Jiang family can only be swung outwards!"

"Well said! Hahaha, I never expected that young Master Jiang would be so knowledgeable about family management at such a young age. I'm truly impressed!"

Zhao Hongxuan barged in without being announced, and Uncle Li chased after him, sweating profusely. Jiang Xiaoqi naturally knew that this man was probably untouchable in the capital and was used to being lawless.

Tan Hao waved for Li Bo to step back, and then appeared behind Zhao Hongxuan in a few steps, leaving Jiang Xiaoqi speechless.

"Young Master Zhao is too kind; these are merely some of my humble opinions," Jiang Xiaoqi replied with a straight face.

“I’m not joking with you. What you just said was quite profound, not something a four or five-year-old child could say!” Zhao Hongxuan said seriously.

Jiang Xiaoqi thought to himself, "This young master from the capital must have a lot of free time."

“However… it would be even better if I could explain this principle to my father,” Zhao Hongxuan continued, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't understand what it meant, but thought it was probably some dirty business of family disputes. There has always been a lot of open and covert struggles among powerful families, for the right of succession and for resources.

Families like the Jiang and Liu families are rare, after all, not every family has a leader who is both clear-headed and able to control the overall situation of the clan.

Jiang Xiaoqi's lips twitched slightly as she thought: This Zhao Hongxuan is really a weirdo. It's better for family members to know their own affairs. Why bother telling outsiders?

Tan Hao was a little embarrassed: Ah Hong had fallen into his old habit again. They had only met Jiang Mingfei once, and it was indeed impolite for them to barge in like this. He should have held on tighter.

The three of them stood in the middle of the courtyard, staring at each other.

Jiang Xiaoqi: "May I ask what brings Young Master Zhao here?"

"Why are you asking me again? Didn't you say that once we move in and become neighbors, we should have a proper get-together, and you'd treat us?" Zhao Hongxuan said earnestly.

"Uh, I did say that..."

Jiang Xiaoqi: Then you should wait for me to come and invite you. It's not proper for a young master to show up uninvited.

Tan Hao seemed to see through Jiang Xiaoqi's thoughts and stepped forward to smooth things over: "Young Master Jiang, please don't be offended. Ah Hong is used to being unrestrained and is indeed a bit unconventional. Please forgive him!"

Jiang Xiaoqi: Young Master Jiang is fine, but you always have to add "Little" to it. Are you two really that big?! Huh?

"Wenbin, have Li Niangzi go and buy some vegetables and meat. We're entertaining guests today, so we can't be stingy," Jiang Xiaoqi instructed expressionlessly.

"Yes, young master, I'll go right away." Wenbin gave Xiao Li a wink, indicating that he should stay and serve. Xiao Li nodded, reassuring Wenbin.

The two, who were just moments ago at loggerheads, inexplicably became very tacit in the presence of outsiders.

Tan Hao, being observant, naturally noticed the interaction between the two servants. Zhao Hongxuan, upon hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's instructions to buy groceries, seemed smug and carefree.

Jiang Xiaoqi: These two have such different personalities, how did they become inseparable friends? Is it really true that people are attracted to each other's complementary personalities?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. After all, Yun Muze and Lin Xiao complement each other to some extent; one is gossipy and talkative, while the other is reserved and steady.

As for himself... he didn't want to find any close friends in this world. A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, which is most suitable for him. Maintaining an appropriate distance from everyone is the best thing for him.

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but in reality, only a moment had passed. Jiang Xiaoqi led the two uninvited guests to the reception room, where Xiao Li cleverly served tea.

Jiang Xiaoqi picked up his teacup, skimmed off the foam, and then fell silent. Lately, he had been preoccupied with the cement workshop and often found himself lost in thought.

Zhao Hongxuan gulped down his tea, as if he were truly thirsty. Tan Hao picked up his teacup, found it a bit too hot, and put it down. He then began to observe Jiang Xiaoqi sitting opposite him.

For some reason, he always felt a sense of unease about the child in front of him, and sometimes he even felt that the person sitting opposite him was a world-weary adult.

"Ah Hao, why are you staring at Brother Jiang? Is it because he's so handsome that you can't control yourself?"

"Pfft!" Jiang Xiaoqi sprayed the tea she was about to drink all over Zhao Hongxuan's face, not wasting a single drop.

"Serves you right! Serves you right for talking nonsense!" Tan Hao handed over a handkerchief, looking speechless.

"Is it really necessary? I was just joking, but you sprayed my face! My collar is all wet!" Zhao Hongxuan looked aggrieved. Who had ever dared to spray him with water since he was a child!

"Alright, that's all because of your sharp tongue. What's with all the fuss in this sweltering summer heat!" Jiang Xiaoqi wasn't going to put up with it. So what if he was a nobleman from the capital? He was still a hidden tycoon in Xinghe Prefecture! Was he arrogant?

Sigh, the thought of the temporary space for three months suddenly weighed heavily on my mind. Transferring assets and sealing the holes with cement were urgent tasks. I had enough money, but I needed more manpower.

Tan and Zhao couldn't understand why the man in front of them had suddenly fallen into a daze. Was he feeling sorry for the money he spent on the meat?

Jiang Xiaoqi thought of someone. He had initially overlooked this person's influence and connections. Now that he had moved to a new house, he should make full use of all the resources available to him.

No, it's not exploitation, it should be described as mutually beneficial...

After all, given that person's status, he wouldn't lack capable people; perhaps they were looking for a way out.
