Shen Hao also saw Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu walking toward him from the corner of his eye.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and disappeared very quickly, as if he had never appeared before.
The reason why Shen Hao had kindly helped Anna earlier was to fish.
Otherwise, why would Shen Hao be so kind?
As expected, the fish took the bait.
In this era, those who knew English were the top talents wherever they went. They were very rare and were popular everywhere.
Although Jin Yanxi was a young master, naive and simple, a love brain.
However, his identity was real, one of the shortcuts to the upper echelons.
If there was a shortcut, wouldn't it be foolish to take it one step at a time?
At present, Shen Hao's status was too low. If he wanted to take a step forward, not only would he have money, but he would also have to burn incense and worship Buddha. The key was that he had to worship the right Buddha.
Alright.
Soon, Big Head Yuan would be transferred from a temporary position to a permanent position. At that time, a new law would be enacted.
It meant that the appointment of the county magistrate had become two ways, examination and recommendation.
The first was an examination, but even if you passed, you would not be given an appointment.
Examinations were only one way to become a county governor, and 98 out of 100 county governors were recommended. Examinations could be given up.
Besides, Shen Hao did not believe that he could pass the examination of the people of this era. He only wanted to go out so that he could have military power.
In a few years, the capital would be in chaos. The plaited army, Zhang Xun, would even invade the capital under the pretext of restoring the throne. The direct and provincial factions would all come in, and the chaotic bureau chief might also be dragged in.
Shen Hao didn't want his life to be in the hands of others.
The second method was recommendation. Yuan Datou's government had stipulated that the director of the Civil Affairs Department of each province had the right to recommend two to three county magistrates.
These recommended candidates could directly take up their positions according to the legal procedures.
Power bred corruption. At that time, many provincial civil affairs directors directly auctioned their positions, and the highest bidder won.
Buyers of official positions were not afraid of poor political achievements, but they were afraid of a change in the provincial government.
Every time a provincial governor came to power, there would be a huge change in position.
There was a saying in society: " Change the chief once, give him a recommendation letter of three feet, bring dozens of people, and chase away half."
To be replaced meant that there was no one above him.
Although the Jin family had declined in the end, they were still only the Minister of Finance and had not yet reached the position of the cabinet.
There was still room for improvement.
In this short period of time, Shen Hao believed that his strength would definitely be able to dominate a region.
At that time, someone would have a gun and would have a hard time speaking. If they wanted to sit firmly, they would have to look at his face.
Shen Hao remembered that during the period of the Republic of China, the county magistrate implemented the "contracting system".
That is, he would bring his own section chief, secretary, receptionist, and other supporting personnel.
The appointment of each county governor was a major update of the county's management talents.
After becoming the county governor, Shen Hao would be able to do a great job.
However, even if you were capable, you still needed someone to support you.
Therefore, Jin Yanxi was Shen Hao's stepping stone.
It wouldn't be bad if he could take down Bai Xiuzhen. Her brother, Bai Xiongqi, was also a big-legged man.
At this moment, Jin Yanxi stepped forward and greeted,""Hey, your English is pretty good. Have you studied abroad before?”
Shen Hao glanced at Jin Yanxi and ignored him.
Jin Yanxi was stunned. When did he take the initiative to greet someone and no one responded?
Bai Xiuzhu, who was standing at the side, was displeased. She said proudly,"Hey, where are you from? Brother Yanxi is greeting you, didn't you hear him?”
"Do we know each other?" Shen Hao said disdainfully.”
Bai Xiuzhu snorted and raised her swan-like neck proudly."You're just a small police officer. Do you think I want to know you?”
" That's right. If you don't know me, why would I bother with you? If you don't want to know me, then why are you here?" Shen Hao asked.
Bai Xiuzhu was speechless for a long time.
Bai Xiuzhu was fuming." You're such a scoundrel. You're so annoying. It's not that Brother Yanxi thinks you're interesting. Who cares about you?"
The daughter of the Bai family was surrounded by people wherever she went. She was a respected character and knelt down in all kinds of ways.
This was the first time someone had ignored him and rebuked him in front of him. He hated Shen Hao to death.
Jin Yanxi's expression was also ugly.
" Although we don't know each other, we should at least have some manners," Jin Yanxi said unhappily.
The fastest way to get to know each other was to not give them face.
"Oh, in that case, tell me, which family's young master are you?”Shen Hao said,
Bai Xiuzhu snorted proudly and said,""I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, you'll be scared to death."
Shen Hao was amused.
"Are you the son of President Yuan?”
Seeing the two of them shake their heads, Shen Hao said,"Then why did you scare me to death?"”
His words were laced with sarcasm, and Bai Xiuzhu's face flushed red with anger.
How adorable!
How annoying. Why did this guy not follow the usual pattern?
Shouldn't you be curious about my and Brother Yan Xi's identities?
What right did a mere police officer have to be so arrogant?
Bai Xiuzhu was really not convinced.
Shen Hao, who did not play by the rules, put Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu on the spot.
"I don't look at status when dealing with people, I only look at ability."
It's not that I'm looking down on you young masters, but what else do you know besides eating, drinking, and having fun?
If you have the ability, I will immediately apologize for my rudeness just now."
Bai Xiuzhu wanted to retort, but she found herself powerless to do so.
Jin Yanxi was also embarrassed by the question.
He didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant.
Shen Hao was delighted when he saw the ugly expressions on their faces.
However, Shen Hao didn't make enemies with the two of them. He just wanted to deepen their impression.
"This young master looks handsome. I'm afraid that only Minister Jin of the Jinquan Department can have such a handsome face among all the high officials."
Jin Yanxi enjoyed the compliment very much. Although it was the same as the flattery he usually heard, it was very pleasant to hear.
Bai Xiuzhu sneered,"So, you knew about our identities from the start, and you're deliberately acting all high and mighty here to get to know us."
Jin Yanxi looked at Shen Hao suspiciously.
"I can already see the future of the Jin family from this young master." Shen Hao sneered again.
Although you are a high-ranking official, your family is in decline and will be defeated sooner or later. Is there a need for me to know you?”
Jin Yanxi's face turned ugly when he heard that.
Before he could get angry, Bai Xiuzhu mocked him,""Nonsense, Uncle Jin is healthy and has a good official career. The Jin family will definitely prosper and have a higher status. How can the family be in decline?"
"Although the Jin family has a noble background, none of the men in the family are reliable except for Minister Jin." Shen Hao shook his head.”
"Bullshit! If you can't give me a good explanation today, don't blame me for being merciless!" Jin Yanxi said angrily.
"Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you." Shen Hao said disdainfully.
The rise and fall of a family was closely related to their children.
Other than Minister Jin, the founding father of the Jin family, the second generation of the Jin family were all people who enjoyed life without any achievements.
Let's talk about the eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Fengju.
Usually, most of them wore old-fashioned robes and few suits. They could be said to be cultured scum.
Spending money, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, he was proficient in everything.
As the eldest son, he didn't look like the pillar of the family at all.
The second son of the Jin family, Jin Hesun, had a low sense of existence. He didn't do anything proper, but he didn't seem to have done anything bad either. He was just a good-for-nothing man who liked to smoke.
The third son of the Jin family, Jin Pengzhen, liked male actors and was another person who did not do proper business.
Rumor had it that he was number one in being henpecked.
Some of the brothers of the Jin family smoked, while others drank, drank, and gambled outside.
However, even though Jin Yanxi, the seventh brother, was untamed, he was the most talented among his brothers and did not have any bad habits.”
Shen Hao belittled the three Jin brothers and praised Jin Yanxi instead.
Hearing that, Jin Yanxi was not not annoyed. Instead, he felt pleased.
Because what Shen Hao said was right. The Jin brothers were not on good terms to begin with. They were not born from the same mother and had several concubines.
The corners of Bai Xiuzhu's mouth also curled up slightly, and she was very happy.
She couldn't help but say proudly," At least you know what's good for you. Brother Yanxi is the future of the Jin family."
Shen Hao could not help but mock," So you're the Bai family's daughter, Bai Xiuzhu, who likes the seventh young master of the Jin family. It's a pity that you won't have the chance to be Jin Yanxi's wife in this lifetime."
