Although the Lin family in Fengzhou is not as rich and powerful as the Qian family, there are tens or hundreds of shopkeepers in the shops under their name, but the number of several shops added up, and the members of the small chamber of commerce headed by the Lin family are not small.
Every six months, the Lin family will gather these people together, one is to connect with each other, and the other is to evaluate performance, and reward or punish them accordingly, and occasionally make some changes in personnel.
Although the accounts of the Lin family were handled by Lin Wanru himself, as the accountant on the surface, Li Yi naturally had the qualifications to participate in this meeting.
Except for staying here for two days at the beginning, this is the second time he has come to the Lin family.
The Lin family is very lively today. Li Yi didn't know a few members of the Lin family at first, and now there are many new faces.
He has never been interested in such banquets. Yesterday he just didn't think about how to bid farewell to Lin Wanru, so he agreed casually. In fact, he still hasn't thought about it until now.
If it was just a relationship of mutual use from the beginning, there is nothing to tangle with, just leave a letter, and there is no need for any explanation.
Any explanation is an explanation of the previous deception, and it will always be a little difficult to explain, after all, he is thin-skinned and embarrassed...
Lin Wanru is now the real head of the Lin family, the kind who is afraid of whoever sees her. Naturally, there will be a lot of entertainment this morning. When Li Yi saw her walking back and forth by his side a few times, he just nodded or smiled, saying something There is no time to talk.
On the contrary, quite a few people glanced or stayed on him, occasionally hearing some gossip.
For example, what is the relationship between the accountant who has gone through the back door and Miss Lin's family? Could it be the little boy he raised outside...
It's not normal for Miss Lin to be unmarried at her age. She looks like a flower and a jade, with an exquisite figure, and this little boy took advantage of it...
Li Yi stretched out his hand and touched his face. He was so busy these days that he didn't spend much time basking outside in the sun. Maybe his face turned pale, but it doesn't matter. After going back to the sun for a month, he would be able to turn dark again... I really miss my little one at home. yard and rocking chairs too.
Lin Yong kicked over the stool of a gossiper, sat opposite Li Yi, and said, "I hate these people who gossip behind their backs all day. What's the point of talking behind the scenes? If you have the guts to say it in front of Miss 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 wiped his mouth, and said: "Miss is planning to open a new shop, and we will open it today." It is a dream to announce that all of these people want to open a new shop. The young lady has already planned, and their efforts are all in vain... "
Li Yi was absent-minded, and asked casually: "How do you make up your mind?"
"Of course it's the shopkeeper." Lin Yong looked at him and said, "It's a lot of money to be a shopkeeper. Everyone knows this. The second master was in charge of the shop before, so he was able to greed so much money... "
"However, it's useless for them to think about it this time." Lin Yong looked at him, and said rather mysteriously: "You will know in a while, Miss is like a tigress at home now, and no one in the house dares to roar." Speaking of which, this matter should be settled like this.”
"Cough!" Li Yi coughed lightly, picked up his teacup, and moistened his lips.
Lin Yong glanced at the teacup on the table, stood up naturally, and said, "The tea is cold, I'll add some hot one."
He stood up, picked up the teapot, and walked straight ahead.
Lin Wanru sat down where he was just now, with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Tired?" Li Yi pushed a fruit plate over and asked.
Lin Wanru said: "It's been like this for the past few years, just get used to it."
"Business is endless, and money is endless." 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 only spoke halfway, when there was a sudden commotion somewhere in front of her, Lin Wanru glanced back and said, "I'll go and have a look first."
Li Yi nodded.
Before Lin Wanru had time to walk over, a group of people came towards them.
The expression on the face of a man was a little rushed, and he looked at the three people in front of him while walking and said: "Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Xu, Nephew Bai Xian, if there is anything we can discuss, it's good, how can we stop it! "
Shopkeeper Ma sneered, and said, "I have to ask Wanru about it. The Ma family and the Lin family have worked together for so many years, but in the end they were treated like this by the Lin family. It's really chilling..."
Seeing Lin Wanru, the man hurried over and said, "Wanru, do you have any misunderstanding with shopkeeper Ma and shopkeeper Xu?"
"Two shopkeepers, why are you here?" Lin Wanru looked at the two and asked calmly.
The man immediately said: "I invited the two shopkeepers over here. You didn't discuss such a big matter with your family. It's just too 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 made arrangements for this matter."
"What arrangement!" The man frowned, and said, "If there is any misunderstanding with shopkeeper Xu, the shopkeeper of the horse, please apologize quickly. The Lin family and them will still cooperate in the future. Nephew Bai Xian is one of his own, and we will discuss it in a moment." explain."
"Third Uncle, I know what's going on with the Lin family. You don't have to worry about it."
"What do you know!" The man showed anger on his face, and said: "Is the Lin family your Lin family or our Lin family? Are you really going to destroy the huge Lin family?"
He didn't deliberately suppress his voice, this sentence almost reached the ears of everyone present.
Today is a grand event for the Lin family. In addition to the Lin family members, managers such as shopkeepers and managers gathered outside, which can be regarded as the backbone of the entire Lin family.
The scene in front of them made them a little puzzled and surprised. They didn't know why the third master had such a big temper.
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 been provided by the Xu family and the Bai family of the Ma family. Where to buy from in the future, we handed over the Lin family to you, not to let you mess around!"
Everyone in the Lin family has heard about the cessation of cooperation with the three families of the Ma family, the Xu family, and the Bai family, but firstly, the store is operating normally, and secondly, the money distributed to them every month has not decreased but increased. Who would have trouble with the money? , to touch the mold of this strong woman.
They felt a little bewildered that third uncle lost his temper today.
The last person who talked to her in this way was Second Uncle, who used to be the No. 2 member of the Lin family, but now he didn't even attend such an important occasion. Everyone didn't know for a while, what kind of medicine did Third Uncle take wrongly today
Lin Wanru looked at the third uncle of the Lin family in front of her, then looked at the three people beside her, turned her gaze back, and asked, "Has the third uncle finished?"
"What's your attitude!" The third master of the Lin family blushed and said, "It's the other way around, if the Lin family keeps you going on like this, it will be over sooner or later!"
After saying this, there was no response from the audience. The third master of the Lin family showed a little embarrassment on his face, and he glanced vaguely in certain directions.
Finally one person stood up and said, "I think what the third brother said is right. We have been cooperating with these companies for so many years. How can we just stop and how will 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 coercion-like scene countless times, but they were already used to the feeling of lying at home and taking money, so they would only talk about it.
Third Uncle probably found the wrong person again this time.
Shopkeeper Ma waved his sleeves: "If it weren't for my friendship with the Lin family for so many years, I wouldn't be here today!"
"Treasurer Ma, don't be angry, don't be angry..." The third master of the Lin family persuaded him a few words, then quickly winked at Lin Wanru, and said, "Wanru, why are you still standing there, why don't you apologize to Shopkeeper Ma!"
The shopkeeper Xu also frowned and said: "If the Lin family can't give us a satisfactory explanation, we'll go our separate ways in the future."
Lin Wanru stretched out her hand outside the door and said, "Then please."
