Chapter 79 Who do you think you are, to deserve my explanation?
I've given away way too much money lately.
Even though it was only ten thousand taels, Lei Tang's face showed undisguised pain.
"The position of hall master."
Senlao glanced at the silver note Lei Tang handed him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Ten thousand taels is hardly enough to even look at.
However, despite thinking this way, on the surface, Senlao quickly accepted the silver note; it was better than nothing.
"I've said it before, the position of hall master isn't something that can be decided so easily. Go back and wait for news."
Senlao skillfully began practicing Tai Chi.
Of course, this couldn't be said too directly, otherwise how would one get the other strong contenders for the position of hall master to send money?
"But.."
Lei Tang couldn't hold back any longer.
Normally, he could just play along, but Lei Tang's current situation was really too difficult. If he couldn't become the hall master, he would probably lose his current position as the leader.
Lei Tang felt he was still young and had plenty of time to enjoy life.
If I lose my current position, will my future position be any better?
simply put.
Lei Tang was eager to take over.
"Alright!"
However, before Lei Tang could finish speaking, Sen Lao waved his hand to interrupt him.
"I've said everything I needed to say. Go back and wait."
With that, Senlao got up to leave. He didn't take Lei Tang seriously at all.
His expression was extremely perfunctory.
"Master! Master!"
Seeing through this perfunctory attitude, Lei Tang became even more anxious. Thinking about the changes in his reputation recently, his once sure position as the hall master was really about to be in jeopardy.
In a moment of desperation, Lei Tang blurted out.
"No matter what, I gave the hall master hundreds of thousands of taels of silver before, so he should at least give me an explanation."
You have to give yourself something to look forward to. You can't just say you'll go back and wait, but you should at least give a timeframe. You can't just keep waiting like this forever.
"What did you say?!"
Lei Tang's words successfully made Sen Lao stop in his tracks.
When he turned to look at Lei Tang, his eyes were already filled with a fierce look.
Not long ago, Ye Tian offended me again. Damn it, Ye Tian dared to offend me before, and now you, Lei Tang, dare to offend me?
"No, I'm not..."
Senlao's gaze startled Lei Tang, who looked away as if trying to explain.
only.
"Explain yourself! What the hell do you want an explanation for?!"
In a few quick steps, Senlao arrived directly in front of Leitang.
Completely disregarding Lei Tang's reaction, he poked Lei Tang's forehead with his finger.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You think you're worthy of my explanation?"
"roll!"
The last word was shouted out directly by Senlao, without caring at all whether it would damage Lei Tang's reputation.
"..."
Lei Tang didn't look up, but he could feel a burning pain on his face.
This is Senlao's mansion, and there are quite a few servants around.
At that moment, Lei Tang felt that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, as if they were mocking or ridiculing his overestimation of his abilities.
His fist, hidden beneath his sleeve, clenched tightly.
"Hmph! What is that?!"
"Pooh!"
After spitting at Lei Tang's retreating figure, Senlao left immediately.
Originally, Senlao was already furious because of Ye Tian's matter, and Lei Tang just happened to walk in and gave him a good scolding, which made Senlao feel much better.
As for whether his words would anger Lei Tang.
Sen Lao didn't take it to heart at all.
What's there to be afraid of when someone only knows how to use money to climb the ranks?
,,,
I got scammed!
After returning to his residence.
Lei Tang sat silently on a chair in the front yard, his expression sinister and twisted, realizing that the hundreds of thousands of taels he had given away earlier had all gone down the drain.
Senlao never intended to help himself rise to power.
All those things they said before were just to deceive me, to get more benefits out of me.
If Lei Tang still can't react at this point, then he's really stupid.
"Morish! Morish!"
He was practically gritting his teeth, constantly muttering Senlao's name.
Ruined.
Not only did he lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but he also lost his position as the head of the hall. Lei Tang could imagine that once the new head of the hall took over, his good days would be completely over.
"Big brother, Red Tiger again..."
All I can say is that Chi Hu's news came at the perfect time.
It was truly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"roll!"
Lei Tang didn't want to hear any more bad news and roared it out.
It's nothing more than Chi Hu trying to take over my territory again. What's the use? Even if I knew, what way could I possibly stop him?
"..."
I instinctively shuddered; I was clearly startled.
Not daring to say more, he quickly bowed and left, afraid of being implicated by Lei Tang at this time.
In a short time.
The front yard was quiet; not a sound could be heard.
"Master...Master!"
It was the same person as before, giving Lei Tang advice to go find Sen Lao's servant.
After waiting a while, he smiled shakily and said.
"I have another way."
"Um?"
Frowning, Lei Tang looked over and saw that it was the servant who had just given him the advice. His expression softened considerably.
Although the previous idea was not very useful, it was mainly because Senlao was too unreliable, taking the money but not doing the job, so I didn't take my anger out on this servant.
"explain."
in contrast.
Lei Tang was still somewhat hopeful that he could come up with another good idea.
"My lord, I think that hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Given your current reputation, dragging it out for too long will probably be more disadvantageous for you."
The sinister look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a thoughtful gleam.
She looked up, gesturing for the servant to continue.
"Sir, why not just make it simple?"
As he spoke, the servant made a throat-slitting gesture.
"The Left and Right Elders are getting old. It doesn't matter whether they retire early or late. As long as they do things cleanly, no one will suspect the Master. If they wait too long, the Master's chances of taking over the position of Elder will only get smaller and smaller."
Although Lei Tang's reputation isn't exactly great right now.
But these things take time to accumulate; the longer it goes on, the more bad reputation you'll accumulate.
in contrast.
Once I sit in the position of hall master, all the bad reputation will disappear instantly.
"..."
He didn't speak.
But looking into Lei Tang's eyes, it was clear that he was smitten.
There was no other way. On one hand, he longed for the position of hall master, and on the other hand, he hated Sen for taking money but not doing his job and causing him trouble.
If it's not going to work, you should have said so earlier. You've already given away hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Isn't this money just wasted?
"Everyone, please leave. Leave me alone!"
After a moment of silence, Lei Tang suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, including the servant who had just spoken.
After a tacit departure.
Instead of going straight back to rest, the servant made several turns and, unnoticed, left Lei Tang's residence through the back gate.
