The next day, Gu Kaiyuan left with Chen Qingmu and the other three. Knowing that they were being taken to see the estates and taught how to manage them, the four members of the Chen Family felt a bit relieved. At least Gu Kaiyuan wasn't treating them as mere manual laborers.
However, they rejoiced too soon. As soon as they arrived at the estate, Gu Kaiyuan simply washed his hands of the matter and led his attendants into the mountains. He left the four of them behind to familiarize themselves with everything about the estate and handed over some ledgers for them to manage.
As descendants of the Chen Family, they were naturally well-educated. Handling a few ledgers was, of course, a piece of cake for them.
Once they started, they couldn't stop. Back in the Chen Family, they had never been given such an opportunity to show what they were made of.
