Chapter 307  : Making An example of Him

Situ Huang was already angry that Tang Li hadn’t started the treatment of his son after taking the money. When he heard First Madam’s question, he replied angrily,

“What brought me here? I’m here to ask Fourth Madam to treat my son. Fourth Madam is in the Qi family. If I don’t come here to see her, where should I see her?”

Hearing that, First Madam didn’t know what else to say.

Tang Li looked at First Madam like she was an idiot, which made her even more angry.

Tang Li looked at Situ Huang and said with a smile, “Mr. Situ, how about this. I’ll return the money to you so that you can find someone else to treat your son, since you are in such a hurry.”

“You…” Situ Huang glared at Tang Li. If not for the fact that she was the only one who could cure his son, he would have killed her with a slap.

Tang Li snorted and said, “I went to look for the herbs to treat your son last month. Give me the money first. I’ll go treat Situ Jin in two days.”

“Why in two days!” He wanted to knock her out immediately and bring her back to treat his son.

“I just came back. I have to do my own thing.”

“You…” Situ Huang was furious. “You have no medical ethics!”

“Well, I’m not a doctor, so I don’t need to have medical ethics. If you really want to discuss medical ethics with me, then let your son wait. I’ll treat him in half a year.”

“You…” Situ Huang’s face was twisted with anger. He managed to control his temper and gritted his teeth. “Fourth Madam, you have to give me a specific time. How many days exactly?”

Situ Huang was really anxious. His son had not been managing the company for more than a month. The others in the family had been making moves, looking for ways to kill his son. His son had to recover quickly, or his position as the family head would be in danger.

Tang Li didn’t make things difficult for Situ Huang. “In three days.”

“Alright!” Situ Huang finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. “I’ll come personally to pick up Fourth Madam in three days. What do we need to prepare?”

“Prepare a separate courtyard with a herb room and a treatment room. Also I need a bath barrel. The barrel is best made of mahogany.”

“Great!” Situ Huang nodded and stood up to leave. “I’ll prepare these when I get back. I hope Fourth Madam won’t go back on your words this time.”

He obviously did not believe in Tang Li.

Tang Li looked at him coldly. “Don’t worry, I said I’ll treat Situ Jin. Don’t forget to transfer the money to my card.”

“I’ll get someone to do it when I get back.” Situ Huang was definitely not stingy with money.

With that, he strode out of the door.

The other three madams looked at each other in disbelief. “The Situ family head left just like that?”

Tang Li asked with a sneer, “Second Sister-in-law, do you think Situ Huang needs to stay and do something?”

Second Madam choked and said embarrassedly, “That’s not what I meant.”

“Humph!”

Tang Li sneered and suddenly said to Butler Zhang, “Butler Zhang, get someone to inform everyone to gather here.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Butler Zhang went out to inform the people.

The other three madams looked at each other but did not say anything.

There were many servants in the Qi family, so it took them some time to get here.

When all the servants arrived at the courtyard, they were stopped by a group of bodyguards standing around.

The Qi Mansion also had many bodyguards, but this group of bodyguards exuded an aura different from that of the Qi Mansion’s bodyguards.

These people all had sharp eyes and cold expressions, looking like they came from the army.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard and did not dare to speak. They were all waiting for Tang Li to speak.

Tang Li stood by the door with Butler Yang. After giving them a sweeping glance, she said, “I gather that the Qi family has 95 long-term servants and bodyguards. Including the part-time workers, there are nearly 200 people.”

“Previously, everyone’s salary and bonuses were managed by my three sisters-in-law. In the future, Butler Yang will be in charge of all these. Everyone, remember this.”

“If there’s anything serious in the future, you can look for Butler Yang directly. If there’s anything not so serious, you can look for Butler Zhang. If I find out that someone is up to no good and does something bad to the Qi family’s reputation, I won’t be merciful.”

The more Tang Li spoke, the more nervous everyone became. They all felt that this Fourth Madam was not someone to be trifled with.

However, there were also people who looked at Tang Li with disdain.

It would be strange if a woman in her twenties could manage such a large house.

Tang Li said a few things in a row. After finishing, she gestured at Butler Yang. “Butler Yang, you can say something.”

Butler Yang nodded and stood up to look at everyone in front of him. His face was impartial. “I hope that everyone will cooperate with me in the future. Next, I’ll get to know the wages and expenses in the Qi Mansion. If anyone has any objections, you can come over and talk to me directly, or you can send me an email.”

“I don’t like people gossiping about their masters in private. Once I hear it, I will not go easy with the punishment.

“Also, there will be an internal shake-up. Those who are capable can stay. Those who are not capable will be dismissed.”

These words immediately made some people unhappy. A young man with shoulder-length hair and wearing a green coat said unhappily, “All of us have worked in this position for many years. What right do you have to dismiss us?”

Butler Yang looked at him sharply.

The man looked back at him calmly with a hint of provocation in his eyes. He was Butler Wang’s nephew. Who would dare to touch him?

At that moment, Butler Yang withdrew his gaze and asked Tang Li, “Madam, when do my rights as the head butler start?”

Tang Li glanced at the young man and replied, “From now onward.”

“Alright.” Butler Yang looked at the young man, planning to make an example out of him. “You’ve been fired. Pack your things and leave the Qi Mansion immediately. If you don’t leave before noon, I’ll call the police on the crime of burglary. Also, when you leave, I’ll send someone to watch you. If you dare to take anything from the Qi family, you’ll end up in jail.”
