Happy Little Scholar

Although the Lin family in Fengzhou is not as wealthy as the Qian family, there are dozens or hundreds of shopkeepers under their name, but the number of several shops combined, including members of the small chamber of commerce headed by the Lin family, is not small.

Every six months, the Lin family will gather these people together, firstly to keep in touch with each other, and secondly, to evaluate their performance, and reward or punish them accordingly, and occasionally make some personnel changes.

Although Lin Wanru personally handles the Lin family's accounts, as the official accountant, Li Yi is naturally qualified to participate in this meeting.

Except for staying here for the first two days, this was his second visit to the Lin family.

The Lin family is very lively today. Li Yi didn't know a few people in the Lin family originally, but now there are many new faces.

He has never been interested in such banquets. He just agreed yesterday without thinking about how to say goodbye to Lin Wanru. In fact, he still hasn't thought about it yet.

If the relationship was just mutual use from the beginning, there would be nothing to worry about. Just leave a letter without any explanation.

Any explanation is an explanation of the previous deception, which will always be a bit difficult to explain. After all, he is shy and embarrassed...

Lin Wanru is now the real person in charge of the Lin family. She is afraid of everyone who sees her. Naturally, she will have a lot of social activities this morning. Li Yi saw her walking back and forth several times, but he just nodded or smiled slightly and said something. There was no time to talk.

There were quite a few people's eyes scanning or lingering on him, and occasionally some gossip could be heard.

For example, what is the relationship between the back door accounting clerk and Miss Lin? Is it the pretty boy he raised outside?

It is really abnormal for Miss Lin to be unmarried at such an age. She looks like a flower and has a slim figure. This pretty girl has taken advantage of her...

Li Yi reached out and touched his face. He has been busy these days and hasn't been out in the sun much. His face may be a little paler, but it doesn't matter. If you go back to the sun for a month, the tan will go back... He really misses home. Small courtyard and rocking chair.

Lin Yong kicked over the stool of someone who was gossiping, sat opposite Li Yi, and said: "I hate these people who talk behind my back all day long. What's the point of talking behind my back? You have the guts to say it in front of the lady." go?"

Lin Yong glanced at Lin Wanru who was surrounded by countless people not far away, picked up a pot of tea on the table and took a sip. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "Miss plans to open a new shop today. Announce that these people all want to have the idea of ​​​​opening a new shop. It is simply a dream. The lady has already planned it, and their efforts are all in vain..."

Li Yi was absent-minded and asked casually: "How do you make up your mind?"

"Of course I am the shopkeeper." Lin Yong looked at him and said: "Being the shopkeeper brings a lot of money. Everyone knows this. The second master was in charge of the shop before, so he could be greedy for so much money... …”

"But, they were in vain this time." Lin Yong looked at him and said mysteriously: "You will know in a moment, the young lady is like a tigress at home now, no one in the family dares to roar. Just talk, this matter should be settled."

"Cough!" Li Yi coughed lightly, picked up the tea cup and moistened his lips.

Lin Yong glanced at the tea cup on the table, stood up naturally, and said: "The tea is cold, I will add some hot water."

He stood up, picked up the teapot, and walked straight forward.

Lin Wanru sat down where he had just been, with a rather helpless expression.

"Are you tired?" Li Yi pushed a fruit plate over and asked.

Lin Wanru said: "I've been doing this for the past few years, just get used to it."

"There is endless business and endless money." Li Yi shook his head and said, "There are still many things to do in life. Such a life is so boring..."

"But if you don't do business, you don't know what to do..." Lin Wanru shook her head, looked at him again, and said, "There is something..."

She was only halfway through her words when a commotion suddenly came from somewhere ahead. Lin Wanru looked back and said, "I'll go take a look first."

Li Yi nodded.

Before Lin Wanru had time to walk over, a group of people came over.

The expression on a man's face was a little anxious. As he walked, he looked at the three people in front of him and said: "Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Xu, and Nephew Bai Xian, if there is anything we can discuss, it's fine. Why can't we just break it off!" "

Shopkeeper Ma sneered and said, "You have to ask Wan Ru. The Ma family and the Lin family have cooperated for so many years, but in the end they were treated like this by the Lin family. It's really chilling..."

When the man saw Lin Wanru, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Wanru, do you have any misunderstanding with Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Xu?"

"Two shopkeepers, why are you here?" Lin Wanru looked at the two of them and asked calmly.

The man immediately said: "I invited the two shopkeepers here. You didn't discuss such a big matter with your family. It's simply outrageous. Without these three companies, where will our raw materials come from in the future?"

Lin Wanru looked at the man and said, "Third uncle, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

"What arrangement!" The man frowned and said, "If there is any misunderstanding with Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xu, apologize quickly. The Lin family will still cooperate with them in the future. Nephew Bai Xian is one of our own. We will discuss it later." explain."

"Uncle San, I know the Lin family's affairs, you don't need to worry about it."

"What do you mean you know the affairs!" The man's face showed anger, and he said: "Is the Lin family your Lin family or our Lin family? Do you really want to ruin the huge Lin family?"

He did not deliberately suppress his voice, and this sentence almost reached the ears of everyone present.

Today is the grand meeting of the Lin family. In addition to the Lin family members, the shopkeepers and other management talents gathered outside, which can be regarded as the backbone of the entire Lin family.

The scene in front of them made them a little confused and surprised. They didn't know why the third master was so angry.

The third master of the Lin family pointed at Lin Wanru and said loudly: "Tell me, tell me, for decades, our Lin family's supply has always been provided by the Ma family, the Xu family and the Bai family. Now she said to cut it off. Where will the Lin family get its goods from in the future? We handed the Lin family over to you, not for you to mess around!"

The Lin family had heard about the termination of cooperation with the Ma family, the Xu family and the Bai family these days, but on the one hand, the store was operating normally, and on the other hand, the silver distributed to them every month increased instead of decreased. Who would go against the silver and offend this strong woman?

The third uncle got so angry today that they felt a little puzzled.

The last person who spoke to her like this was the second uncle, the former second-in-command of the Lin family, who now did not even attend such an important occasion. Everyone was confused for a while, what medicine did the third uncle take today?

Lin Wanru looked at the third uncle of the Lin family in front of her, then looked at the three people next to her, and moved her eyes back and asked, "Is the third uncle finished?"

"What's your attitude!" The third uncle of the Lin family blushed and said, "You're rebelling. If the Lin family keeps letting you toss like this, it will be over sooner or later!"

After saying this, no one responded in the room. The third uncle of the Lin family showed a little embarrassment on his face, and his eyes glanced in certain directions obscurely.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "I think the third uncle is right. We have cooperated with these companies for so many years. How can we just break off? How can we do business in the future?"

Someone else responded, "Yes, Wanru, this matter concerns our entire Lin family. You can't make the decision alone."

Lin Wanru looked at them. She had seen this kind of palace-forcing scene countless times, but they had long been accustomed to the feeling of lying at home and getting money, and they would only talk.

This time, the third uncle might have found the wrong person again.

Shopkeeper Ma waved his sleeves: "If it weren't for the friendship with the Lin family for so many years, I wouldn't have come today!"

"Shopkeeper Ma, don't be angry, don't be angry..." The third master of the Lin family persuaded Lin Wanru and winked at her, saying: "Wanru, why are you still standing there? Apologize to Shopkeeper Ma!"

Shopkeeper Xu also frowned and said: "If the Lin family can't give us a satisfactory explanation for this matter, we should go our separate ways in the future."

Lin Wanru stretched out her hand to the door and said: "Then please."
