Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

() After Lin Xi heard this, he nodded subconsciously. It seems that Chang Jun's accident rang the alarm bell for Zhu Lianshan, and he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

The current situation seems to be a good thing for Dad on the surface, but it is not always the case when you look deeper.As the saying goes, the more you do, the more you go wrong.If Dad accidentally left a handle on the other party in the process of doing things, it would be a disaster!

Although he helped his father through the difficulties twice in a row, Lin Xi didn't think that from then on, he would have no worries about food and clothing. You must know that it is very important to be prepared for danger in times of peace when you are in officialdom. By the time you realize the danger, it is already too late. up.

Lin Xi felt that it was necessary to use the evening time to communicate with his father, which was also one of his important tasks when he came back this time.

Lin Jiaqiang did not break his promise, and stepped into the house around 06:30.When he saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa watching TV, he just said something lightly and came back.

Lin Xi knew his father's character well, so he didn't take it seriously. He got up and took his father's bag and put it aside, then turned around and prepared to help his father make tea.

After Wang Yueqin saw it, she said, "Lin Xi, don't make tea, let's eat, see you later!"

The Lin family was very deserted on weekdays. Lin Xi went to school in Minzhou, and Lin Jiaqiang had a lot of entertainment, and it was rare to eat at home at night. Basically, Wang Yueqin was at home alone. Today, the family finally got together, and there was a festive atmosphere.

Lin Jiaqiang was very happy when he saw Sunshine's handsome son, and said to his wife, "Yueqin, go get two bottles of beer. I'm happy today. My son and I will drink some."

After Wang Yueqin heard this, her face sank, and she said to her husband: "My son is still young, what kind of wine are you drinking with him?"

After Lin Xi heard this, he smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay, a bottle of beer is fine."

After saying this, Lin Xi stood up and went to get a beer.Wang Yueqin tapped her husband twice with chopsticks to express her reproach.

Lin Xi knew his father's drinking capacity, and seeing that he was in a good mood today, he walked over with a bottle of white wine.

After seeing the wine bottle in Lin Xi's hand, Wang Yueqin was about to speak out to stop her, but Lin Jiaqiang gave him a wink.After Wang Yueqin remembered what her husband said about her son's performance in his office some time ago, she suppressed the idea of ​​preventing the two of them from having a drink.

After Lin Xi opened the wine bottle, he first poured a glass for his father, then poured some for his mother, then filled the wine glass in front of him, then raised his glasses with both hands, and said to the two elders, "Dad, Mom, I offer you a toast. For so many years, for me and for this family, you two have worked hard!"

After saying this, Lin Xi raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.When he said this, what appeared in his mind was the hard work of his parents and elders in his previous life, and unconsciously, his eyes felt a little moist.

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Wang Yueqin said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you talking about, our Huaxia parents didn't come here like this."

"Hehe, good boy, I know I'm grateful, okay, I've done it!" Lin Jiaqiang said happily.

This night, the Lin family ate this meal for a long time, so that the spare rib soup that Wang Yueqin had cooked in advance was cold by the time they ate, so they had to reheat it.

Lin Xi just said vaguely when he had the last glass of wine with his father, "Dad, don't worry too much. We are in our position and we are working for our government. The body is the capital of the revolution!"

After hearing this, Lin Jiaqiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to stroke his son's head, the relief was beyond words.

At this time, the double-break system has not yet been implemented. Another purpose of Lin Xi's return to Qingyuan this time is to discuss with He Shengqiang about the Minzhou branch.During this time, although he and He Xuan often met, Lin Xi hadn't seen He Shengqiang for a few days since the end of the furniture fair.

After Lin Xi walked into Dongsheng, he saw He Xuan and Li Yuan introducing furniture to two different groups of people.Before that, He Xuan told Lin Xi that after the furniture fair in Minzhou, Dongsheng's business was much better than before.It seems that publicity is indeed very important for enterprises at this time, but there are not many businesses with such awareness these days.

When He Xuan saw Lin Xi coming, he winked at him and made a grimace by the way.Seeing this situation, Lin Xi felt a little funny.When he said the day before yesterday that he was going to return to Qingyuan this week, He Xuan didn't say anything.Unexpectedly, she was already introducing furniture to customers early in the morning.

Seeing that He Xuan was busy, Lin Xi stopped bothering her and walked to the processing area behind.Since He Shengqiang is not here, he must be behind. He didn't open his mouth and went directly.

Seeing Lin Xi going back, He Xuan couldn't help but pouted, and subconsciously reached out and tugged at the corner of the beige windbreaker on her body, thinking to herself, this dress looks good, and the effect is mediocre when worn, next time Be sure to pay attention to the actual effect before buying.

Lin Xi came here today mainly to find He Shengqiang, and didn't pay attention to He Xuan's little thought at all. She really wronged this new windbreaker.

After seeing the busy scene behind, Lin Xi couldn't help but nodded secretly. It seems that the joint-stock management model with the He brothers and sisters was indeed right, otherwise He Shengqiang would not be as dedicated as he is now.

When he saw Lin Xi standing at the door, He Shengqiang stood up immediately, explained a few words to He Xuejun casually, and then walked towards Lin Xi.

"The big boss came to inspect, hehe, how is it, are you satisfied?" He Shengqiang said with a smile.

After Lin Xi heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Brother He, I can't bear it when you say that. I got a cigarette from my dad and sent it here for you."

After saying this, Lin Xi handed He Shengqiang the Hongta Mountain wrapped in newspaper under his arm.

These days, Hongtashan, which costs ten yuan a pack, is a rarity, and He Shengqiang only uses it when entertaining big customers.Once you get it in your hand, you are ready to pinch it under your armpit.

Seeing this, Lin Xi gave the workers a wink, and He Shengqiang reluctantly disassembled the entire Hongta Mountain, and said to He Xuejun, "Xuejun, come here!"

He Xuejun had seen the Hongta Mountain in He Shengqiang's hand a long time ago, and trotted over after hearing the greeting.

He Shengqiang took out four packs of cigarettes and said to He Xuejun, "Two packs are for you, and the other two packs are for Dayong and the others. Let everyone smoke a cigarette and take a break before doing it!"

He Xuejun nodded at Lin Xi, took the cigarette and walked towards Wu Liuliu, the master carpenter.

After hearing He Shengqiang's words, Lin Xi asked, "Is Zhou Quanyong also there, then I have to go and have a look!"

"It's not Zhou Quanyong, his apprentice Zhao Yong, we all call him Dayong, although his skill is not as good as his master's, he is still one of the best in Qingyuan." He Shengqiang explained.

After hearing this, Lin Xi hummed lightly.

He Shengqiang continued: "Zhou Quanyong, I talked to him according to what you said before. He was a little worried, but Zhao Yong seemed to have some ideas. I'm negotiating with him. I'll wait until the orders are finished. He himself is also concerned. this means."

Lin Xi had always wanted to recruit Zhou Xianyong, so he had specially instructed He Shengqiang before, and he came here this time to ask about the situation.

"It's normal. After all, we are just starting out. You can handle this matter. If Zhao Yong is competent, then the salary will be paid to Zhou Xianyong according to the previous plan."

Lin Xi is well aware of the fact that children cannot be tied to wolves. Iron rice bowls are very attractive these days, and only young people like Zhao Yong dare to break out of this confinement and venture out, so the reward must be high, so that they can have attraction.

After He Shengqiang heard this, he thought about the bookstore at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.

After the two came to the office, He Shengqiang put the cigarettes in the drawer first, then locked it, and then asked Lin Xi: "I heard from He Xuan that the negotiation of the store in Mingzhou is almost done, and the loan has also been settled. Alright, when are you going to start work?"

"I think after signing the agreement for the storefront, we will find someone to decorate it. Now we have to race against time, so that the branch store can play its role as soon as possible." Lin Xi said, "Let He Xuan handle all these things. If she feels uncertain, You go to Minzhou to help him check it out."

After hearing this, He Shengqiang nodded.

Lin Xi thought for a while, and then said: "I will make a rendering of the store's decoration in the next two days. Then you and He Xuan will have a look. If you have any ideas, we will discuss it."

After He Shengqiang heard this, he nodded subconsciously. He was used to this way of Lin Xi saying he listened, and he didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

After Lin Xi finished talking about the relevant matters, he asked He Shengqiang: "How's the situation at Fuleju during this time? Do they know that we plan to open a branch in Minzhou?"

"They probably don't know about the branch store. So far, no one else knows about it except three or four of us." He Shengqiang replied.

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and continued: "Two days ago, when I went to Mingzhou to talk with the bosses of several other furniture stores, I heard something."

"Oh, what's the matter, tell me." Lin Xi said curiously.

"Lin Xi, do you still remember the Nanyue man who was kicked out by us at the furniture fair? The one surnamed Yuan." He Shengqiang asked.

After hearing He Shengqiang's question, Lin Xi immediately thought of Yuan Fucai's shiny three-seven haircut, and nodded subconsciously.

"I heard from them that Boss Yuan not only ordered [-] sets of modular furniture, but also paid off all the purchases at once. Now there is no one in the whole circle who doesn't know about this." When He Shengqiang said this, his face was full of disappointment.

The first thing Yuan Fucai went to was Dongsheng's showroom. If it weren't for Lin Xi, he would have been able to win the business with a high probability. Now that he heard the news, he naturally felt very bad.

When Lin Xi heard He Shengqiang's words at first, he thought Yuan Fucai had cheated Fu Luju out of a fortune, but he didn't expect such news.Lin Xi took a look at He Shengqiang and thought to himself, could it be that I was mistaken, but the embarrassment on Yuan Fucai's face at that time was real, it can't be fake!

Since Yuan Fu was determined to be a liar, and now he gave the payment to Fulleju in advance in such a high-profile way, Lin Xi felt that there was only one possibility, and that was to play a long-term game to catch big fish.

After seeing He Shengqiang's expression, Lin Xi didn't say it out loud. It's useless to say more at this time, just wait and see when the time comes.
