Bad End

(Sorry State/ Downfall) 

---

Chen Lao Ye heard this, he then immediately remembered, when that guy from a family that ‘has gone down in the world’ came to the door, their Chen family did not want to return those bride prices, so they sent the ‘little value’ concubine’s son over. He didn’t expect that only after some period of time, he would actually regain his news again. 

 

Very soon, Chen Lao Ye remembered another thing. He also directly asked, “That shop, they rent it? They have money to rent that shop? Where did they get the money?” At that time, he had lowered the price a little bit for the sake of convenience, but the price was not cheap, and he did not think that his concubine’s son could afford to rent it.

 

Hearing that Chen Lao Ye finally asked the key question, Butler Zhou’s eyes immediately lit up, and at the same time looked at him with great excitement, “Master, you don’t know that Chen Xing, not knowing where he get those desserts and wine recipes, so just by relying on the desserts and the wine sales money, not only can they afford to rent that shop, it is estimated that after a while, I’m afraid that they even able to buy that shop!”

 

“Oh?” Originally a little absent minded old master Chen, after listening to Butler Zhou’s story, immediately became interested. “So valuable?”

 

Butler Zhou patted his own thighs and assured with unparalleled certainty, “That’s for sure, I dare to use my small life to guarantee that the formula is definitely worth money.

 

Chen Lao Ye looked at Butler Zhou’s excited look, but there was still a bit of skepticism in his eyes.

 

Seeing this, Butler Zhou’s eyes turned around as he quickly added: “Have you ever heard of the dessert called jelly and also the fruit wines that have recently become popular throughout the town?”

 

What Butler Zhou said, Chen Lao Ye naturally knew. That jelly, he didn’t know when it’s appear; not only its exquisite shape, expensive price, but also quite popular by young ladies, madam, even Mrs. Chen and her friends also bought a lot.

 

Chen Lao Ye naturally also tried (the jelly) but after trying it, he felt that the taste was not as good as that fruit wine to his liking. Just as much as he likes it, the price of that thing is still a bit expensive for him. It was a great pity that he couldn’t drink it from time to time.

 

There was a momentary regret in his mind, soon Old master Chen came back to his senses, suddenly as if he thought of something, fiercely looking at Butler Zhou at the ground, with a look of incredulity, “Don’t tell me that…?”

 

Butler Zhou saw that Old master Chen already guessed, he also not tucked away, nodded and then said, “Master, those few things are from that little restaurant.”

 

Chen Lao Ye’s heart is in shock, as a businessman, his first thought is not why Chen Xing will have those formulas, but how much profits those formulas can bring. After thinking of those prices, the old master Chen’s heart moved greatly, he vaguely had a few ideas.

 

Seeing Chen Lao Ye’s face showed a thoughtful look, Butler Zhou who was familiar with his temperament, immediately came closer and said: “Master, I just know this, so I connived with and through my nephew.”

 

Old Master Chen, who was immersed in how much money Chen Xing could make off of those things and how much profit he could make, heard Butler Zhou’s words and immediately came back to his senses, staring fixedly at him and waiting for what he would say next.

 

“Master, I thought about the formula when I learnt that my nephew was trying to frame him. I thought that if I could bring down that little restaurant, then they would have ‘no way out’. No matter what, you are his father, only then, the Master would ‘step in’ whether to take back or buy those recipes from him. Master, you will have to organize your staff to process them. At that time, it will definitely bring great wealth to the Chen family!”

 

When Old Master Chen heard what Butler Zhou said, his eyes flashed, and there were a few throbbing in the depths of his eyes, obviously agreeing with Butler Zhou’s words.

 

Just when the Old Master Chen saw Butler Zhou that curry favor expression, his face, as if suddenly thought of something, immediately cold again, looked at him and said: “Do you think if you say something like this, then I will not investigate your wrong?”

 

Originally he thought Old Master Chen was moved, thought he would agree to his request and will use this to let go of his Zhou Family. Upon hearing the words of Old Master Chen, the expression on his face at once became frozen.

 

Old Master Chen did not beat around the bush, and directly said: “Now, you say it nicely, at that time, your plan is that you must get rid of that small restaurant first and get that formula for your own, where will you still think of our Chen family?”

 

Seeing his own mind was bluntly pointed out by Chen Lao Ye. Butler Zhou’s face surfaced with a bit of shocked look, looked at him and quickly expressed loyalty: “Master, I don’t. I really think for the Chen family’s sake ah!”

 

But Chen Lao Ye is looking at him snorted coldly, and also no longer argues with him, therefore he called the young male servant in front of the door to come in and said toward Housekeeper Zhou: “Considering all these years, your heartfelt toward the Chen family, I, this time will not mention to kill you all!”

 

The anxiety on Butler Zhou’s face receded and immediately turned into an expression of ecstasy (wild with joy). 

 

Just before Butler Zhou could show his deep gratitude, he heard Elder Master Chen continue, “You’ll go to Qian Xi Village to help me guard the Chen Family House there!”

 

Qian Xi Village is a place with only a dozen or so families, the Chen family’s old mansion is there, although every year someone will go back to clean it, but overall it has already fallen into disrepair.

 

If he had been suppressed into a small steward, Butler Zhou thought that he would be able to come back if he struggled some more, but now that he had been sent there, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for the rest of his life.

 

Thinking that he will be far away from today’s prosperous life, Steward Zhou immediately screamed out in misery and begged Chen Lao Ye : “Master, don’t. I know I’m wrong. Let me stay by the Master’s side to make amends. Do not make me go that far away ah!”

 

However, Chen Lao Ye just fixedly looked at him and said in a cold voice: “You know that I am already merciful enough to you.”

 

Being looked at by the hazy eyes of Old Master Chen, Butler Zhou’s body was shaken, he knew that he was no longer able to save this desperate situation, he failed so he stopped shouting.
