Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 333 - 325: Favoritism

"A good one, knowing people and making good use of them so that everyone’s talents can be utilized, in every profession there are champions. Listening to Mr. Cheng’s words makes a scholar like Xu feel ashamed."

"No wonder the 132th Regiment is managed so well. Mr. Cheng deserves to be called the female Yao and Shun, a true heroine, worthy of utmost admiration," Xu Zhifen praised.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he had read so many years of sage books in vain, yet he couldn’t comprehend as thoroughly or see as far as a young girl.

He must definitely have a good discussion with Mr. Gui later.

Only after hearing Xu Zhifen’s praise did everyone come to their senses. They had just digested Mingshan’s thought-provoking words and were then taught another lesson.

"All jobs rank low, only reading ranks high," they had always pursued scholars achieving success and fame as an honor and understanding the essence of legacy as pride.

Choosing people while insisting on putting virtue first, combining virtue and talent, observing virtue in big affairs, and noticing virtue in minor details - aiming to prioritize virtue; listening to words but more importantly observing actions to shoulder great responsibilities. While this method is good, it’s too limiting and fails to make full use of everyone’s talents.

Moreover, their perception of women is indeed insufficiently tolerant, and they have confined their thoughts, limited their vision, and shackled their minds.

If they had heard this statement before the disaster, they would have sneered.

Perhaps they would have cursed the girl in front of them for being ignorant and ungrateful, attempting to break ancestral teachings, without respect or filial duty.

Nonetheless, what they’ve seen and heard on this journey continually breaks their fixed thinking, forcing them to believe and admit that women can stand alone, not losing to men, and even capable of holding up half the sky.

In the 132th Regiment, whether they are married women or girls not yet betrothed, they live freely and elegantly, with flavor and zest.

The girl speaking boldly in front has also created countless miracles.

The shining points on her are too dazzling, outshining everyone else, how can one not be amazed, admire, respect, and even look up to her.

The most impacted at this moment was Ke Mengyao, who hated Cheng Xiaoxiao with clenched teeth, yet had to admire her for speaking such rebellious words, yet every sentence was reasonable and every word was pearls of wisdom.

In the secular world, women should not show themselves, once married they can only assist their husbands and teach children, trapped in the inner courtyard for life.

Yet Cheng Xiaoxiao said women can also stand alone.

Previously she was arrogant, insolent, and overbearing, all under the premise of her father’s support, which she was aware of.

However, this person walked step by step to her current position, lacking neither means, schemes nor power.

Suddenly realizing she and the woman in front aren’t of the same level, completely different realms, unable to compete, thinking of the foolish things she did before, suddenly she shed all her hostility.

A person’s mentality is such that when someone is evenly matched with you, you will compare and have a strong desire to win.

When someone less than you surpasses you, there comes anger and unwillingness, even wishing to press the opponent into the mud, never able to rise again.

When that person leaves you behind, unreachable, all attempts of retaliation and revenge are just self-deception and humiliation.

These words are so evocative, the tent fell silent.

The tall figure standing outside also fell into reflection and memory.

If mother had half her clarity and decisiveness, perhaps she wouldn’t have ended up with that fate.

But there is no "early knowing" in this world.

Zhou Yanlan silently retreated, her silhouette lonely and forlorn, taking away a melody of sorrow.

Cough, cough!

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw the positive response to the thought education class and was very pleased.

"Brother Xu overpraises me, I’m just wielding a broadsword in front of Guan Yu’s door, incomparable to learned scholars like you who read by lamplight through the night."

Someone humbly on the surface, internally remarked: I am standing on the shoulders of giants, surveying the world, naturally seeing further than you all.

Cough, cough!

Thinking too far...

"Xu feels inferior, and hopes to learn more from Mr. Cheng in the future." Though he didn’t know what wielding a broadsword before Guan Yu’s door meant, it didn’t stop him from admiring Mr. Cheng even more.

What!

Learning from her, learning to nitpick documents?

She’s not good at that, please don’t seek her out, just her bit of knowledge, sooner or later will be exhausted.

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. Brother Xu is the truly talented one, and my quirky ideas, who knows how people would laugh at them when spoken out."

Many people don’t understand her methods, even mocking and sneering behind her back, snubbing her.

During the current disaster, relying on her to resolve livelihood, they tolerate silently, but the hidden dangers and drawbacks will eventually rebound, today a small burst of benefits is evident, letting the entire camp understand the consequence of offending the parents of food and clothing.

Just now those words were also a reassurance for them, clarifying the purpose of acting this way, making future actions smoother, avoiding jumping out to question and then blabber opposition.

Feudal thinking isn’t easily shattered, a few people’s changes don’t represent much, but the subtle work must be done, accumulate gradually, slowly changing these people’s mindset, thereby gradually influencing more people.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, did she overuse her strength?

Indeed hearing it is good, no waste of her breath.

System: "..." The host’s thoughts are getting more peculiar.

"Mr. Cheng is too modest, I want to stay in the 132th Regiment as a teacher, is it feasible?"

"Of course, most welcome!"

Previously invited Xu Zhifen but was refused, unexpectedly this person came willingly, a truly delightful surprise.

"This regiment leader treats scholars with great favor, the remaining assessments are unnecessary, special talents receive special treatment, Brother Xu can take office tomorrow, ha!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao grinned, ignoring the crowd’s resentful and accusatory glances, immediately deciding, fearing the cooked duck would fly away.

Later on, children will only increase, Mr. Gui already overwhelmed, reacted several times, she could only play deaf and muddle through, now seeing Mr. Gui, no longer needing to detour.

Everyone: "..."

What about the promised equal treatment, same process for everyone?

Favoring one over the others face-to-face, is it really okay?

Someone brightened up, also paid more attention to Yang Ying’s disposal.

Since too light a punishment fails to achieve deterrence, too heavy will cause resentment, grasping the right measure is vital...

Though they claimed to let her decide, who knows if it wasn’t just pleasantries, one scheming woman involved two capable assistants, a terrible loss, a terrible loss.

Forget it... Better to fine, fining most pinches the heart.

Hmm, yes, that’s the way, killing two birds with one stone, also saving her a lot of supplies.

Cheng Xiaoxiao coughed twice, signaled everyone to refocus.

She is going to speak...

"In light of your good performance, I can show mercy beyond the law, but the nation has its laws, and the home has its rules. If you want to stay in the camp, punishment is indispensable."
