HEROIC DEATH SYSTEM

Chapter 90: Covenantor (XIII)

这种做法，让家族原本就缩水的资产，在短时间内又缩水了两成，吓得其他成员心惊胆战，却又不敢直言顶撞，因为尚可这位守约人，压根没闲情理会他们的抱怨。

This way of doing things turned the family property that had already shrunk, to shrink even more. In short term, it shrunk by another one-fifth and frightened the other members, but they did not dare to step out to critizize Shang Ke. Because he was a covenantor, he did not bother to take heed of their complaints in the first place.

他处理家族事务的方式就像割除肿瘤，下刀干脆利落，毫不在意短期的阵痛。对他而言，越家就算最后只剩下一个公司，也不会影响到他的任务，所以别人不敢做的事，他都敢做，而且做得非常漂亮。

The way he handled family affairs was like cutting out tumors, he cut them off without hesitation and efficiently without care about short term pains. In his opinion, even if Yue Family only has a single company remaining in the end, it would not affect his mission. So the things that other people would not dare to do, he dared to do them all, and even did it beautifully.

一次雇佣这么多守约人，而且全部安排在重要位置，这一举措在整个帝国引起了轰动，就连陆修樊也被他震惊了一把。

As the first to employ so many convenantors, and even to place them in important positions, his move gave rise to a sensation throughout the entire Empire. Even Lu Xiufan was a bit shocked.

就在所有人都等着看这位守约人将越家玩完时，他却慢慢挽回了颓势，从混乱到稳定，从亏损到盈利，一步步走上正轨。很快，众人发现守约人们异于常人的工作能力。他们拥有很强的时间观念，从不迟到早退，即使个人能力有所不足，但他们勤于学习，会根据雇主需要调整自己的学习方向和工作目标。他们不贪污不受贿不徇私不抱怨不记仇，严格执行规则，公平公正。

Just while everyone was waiting for this convenantor to fully throw down Yue Family into destruction, he actually slowly recovered them from their decline. From chaos to steadiness, from deficit to profit. Step by step they went back onto the right track. Very soon, everyone noticed that covenantors’ working ability were different from ordinary. They have a very strong sense of time, they will never be late or early. Even if their individual skills are a bit lacking, they will diligently learn and adjust their education to their employer’s need. They did not embezzle, did not accept bribes, did not do things for private reasons nor did they complain or hold grudges. They strictly carried out the rules and were fair and just.

众人常常将他们比作机器人，却从未真正意识到“机器人”的价值。数百年来，不知道有多少能力卓越的守约人被当作奴役，磨灭了他们短暂的生命之火。

Everyone frequently likened them to robots but never truly realized the value of robots. In the past several hundred years, who knows just how many capable and outstanding covenantors were treated as servants, eliminating the flames of their short lives.

“大人。”监牢守卫见到陆修樊，立刻行了一个军礼。

“Sir,” the prison guard greeted Lu Xiufan as soon as he noticed him.

陆修樊没有理会，视线透过玻璃窗，看向幽闭室内的常夫人和越煊。

Lu Xiufan paid him no attention, his gaze piercing through the glass window, landing on Madam Chang and Yue Xuan within the detention room.

这两人被关进幽闭室已经半个多月，既没有被提审，也没有被处罚。他们开始几天还会喊叫，现在却是一脸颓丧和失神。
