The more she cared about Ms. Shanshan, the more difficult it would be for him to marry her.
Seeing Fan Teng behave himself, Lin Xiaoyue turned to look at Li Xiao.
She asked him with her eyes what his plans were for Fan Teng.
She had Shanshan and Zhao Kang under her. She could use Zhao Qiang, so she didn’t need Fan Teng.
Moreover, Fan Teng was obviously interested in Shanshan. By transferring him to her, wasn’t that inviting a wolf into the house?
A smile flashed across Li Xiao’s eyes as he looked at Fan Teng, who was bent over and did not dare to move.
“I do need an assistant. Are you willing to be by my side?” He asked.
Lin Xiaoyue and Zhao Shanshan were both shocked.
An assistant? This kid reached the heavens in one step!
Fan Teng was already beaming with joy.
“Yes! Thank you, Master!” The master actually wanted to take him in as an assistant. Wasn’t this too good to be true?
Being the young master’s assistant meant that he would be his number one confidant in the future. He could even stay at the Liu residence.
In the future, he would be able to see Ms. Shanshan every now and then.
Thinking of this, Fan Teng was just short of beaming with joy.
He wanted to raise his head to see Zhao Shanshan’s reaction, but he held back. Li Xiao noticed Fan Teng’s small movements, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
“Hmm. Go wait outside.”
“Yes, Master!” Only then did Fan Teng leave.
Seeing this, Fan Ming, who was by the side, had a face of joy.
His son had gained the favor of the master, and his future was promising.
“Thank you Master and Miss!” Fan Ming walked to the center and bowed to the two.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao looked at each other.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“You don’t need to thank me. Fan Teng got the position because he has the ability. It’s also you who have taught your son well.”
To be fair, it was indeed not bad for a servant to be able to teach his son to be all-rounded.
“Miss, you flatter me.” Head Fan replied with a smile. He was actually very happy.
Lin Xiaoyue was not interested in continuing the pleasantries.
“Let’s continue with the business. How many land deeds are there in total?
How’s the situation?” Lin Xiaoyue said as she knocked on the box beside her. Fan Ming quickly withdrew the smile on his face and answered Lin Xiaoyue’s question.
“There is 188 mu of land. More than half of it is high-grade land, and the rest is mostly medium-grade land. The low-grade land is less than 10 mu. Most of these lands are located between Zhou and Mao’er Manor.”
“When you obtain these lands, they connect the Zhou and Mao’er Manors.”
“If you want to merge them, you can do them at any time.”
The moment he said that, the expressions of Zhong Gui, the head of Mao’er Manor, changed.
If the Mao’er and Zhou Manor were to be merged into one, then there was a high chance that he would lose his position.
It was obvious that the Miss valued Fan Ming more. The master even promoted Fan Ming’s son to be his assistant.
How could he compete with Fan Ming?
Fan Ming was also thinking that he would soon be able to manage two manors.
For this reason, he was looking forward to it.
Cao De was unhurried.
Seeing Zhong Gui’s pale and nervous face, he felt lucky.
Fortunately, the Meng Village he was in charge of was not adjacent to these two manors.
As long as he didn’t do anything wrong, he would be able to hold his position as the manager.
“There’s no need to merge them, just keep them separate.” Lin Xiaoyue said. Zhong Gui’s heart skipped a beat. He almost thought he was hearing things. Only when he saw Fan Ming’s stunned expression did he confirm that he didn’t hear wrongly.
She had no intention of merging the two manors.
Ha! So he was able to keep his position?!
Thinking of this, Zhong Gui felt at ease.
At the same time, he straightened his back.
Since the Mao’er Manor was going to be preserved, he was like Fan Ming and Cao De, a head of a manor, and would not be inferior to others.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Fan Ming, who was still a little surprised, and continued, “if the two manors merge, there will be too much land to manage. The place is too big, it’s not easy to manage.”
“You have been managing your own manors for many years, so you are more familiar with the land and everything in it. After the change, it would be detrimental to management.”
“So, it’s better to maintain the status quo.”
Zhong Gui quickly stood up.
“Yes, Miss!” He responded to Lin Xiaoyue loudly..
