Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

In addition to the chemical plant, Lin Xi and He Xuan went to the other three families together that day. It was already evening when they returned to Xinghai Hotel, and Ni Lingwei had already prepared dinner.

At the dinner table, Ni Lingwei asked the two of them what they had gained after a day of running.Lin Xi looked up at He Xuan, and said, "He Xuan, what do you think?"

Lin Xi didn't want to speak at first, but since Lin Xi asked, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and express her thoughts.

Hearing He Xuan's general talk, Lin Xi didn't feel any dissatisfaction in his heart. This kind-hearted girl has very limited knowledge of the intrigues in the mall.If she didn't have to go down this road, Lin Xi would definitely not point it out, but since she chose this road, some things are destined to be unavoidable.

"He Xuan, regarding this batch of furniture, you just keep looking for the reasons from Dongsheng itself. Have you ever thought that maybe these problematic products are not produced by us at all." Lin Xi said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, not only He Xuan, but even Ni Lingwei felt extremely surprised, and subconsciously blurted out: "Lin Xi, what are you talking about, this furniture is not produced by Dongsheng, so where did he come from?"

He Xuan nodded subconsciously after hearing what Ni Lingwei said, and looked at Lin Xi with a puzzled expression.

"I looked at the furniture with problems everywhere, no matter the combination furniture or office desks and chairs. Although they noticed that the use of wood and boards was almost exactly the same as ours, they ignored one of the most conspicuous things!" Lin Xi said .

"What?" Ni Lingwei and He Xuan asked in unison.

"Paint!" Lin Xi said firmly, "I observed carefully. The paint they used is definitely different from ours. It may not look much different to the naked eye, but if you compare them together, you can definitely see it."

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Ni Lingwei and He Xuan looked at each other in blank dismay. Neither of them thought that there would be problems with the paint on the surface of the furniture.After these problematic furniture broke out, everyone's attention was focused on the panels, and no one paid attention to the paint. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi noticed it.

"Besides, that old Zhang who is the gatekeeper should know what happened. I plan to go there again later and have a good chat with him." Lin Xi said confidently.

"Oh, no wonder you gave him two packs of cigarettes. So that was the idea. Lin Xi, you are so..."

He Xuan originally wanted to say that you are really insidious, but felt that this was inappropriate, so she subconsciously took it back.

After seeing He Xuan's performance, Lin Xi rolled his eyes at him, and then said, "He Xuan, prepare an envelope for me in a while, put 500 yuan in it, I can use it!"

Neither Ni Lingwei nor He Xuan were outsiders, so Lin Xi would never hide his thoughts from them, and he could say whatever he thought.

He Xuan heard that the old Zhang Tou might know about this, and he was very dissatisfied with Wang Dapeng, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to bring this matter out of his mouth.After thinking of this, she blurted out subconsciously: "Don't stop five hundred, my sister will seal one thousand directly, and knock that old man unconscious!"

After Lin Xi heard this, he shook his head and said, "No need, five hundred is enough, and things will be reversed at the extreme."

Even if Ni Lingwei understood what Lin Xi meant, for the old janitor whose monthly salary was only two or three hundred, five hundred was enough, and one thousand was enough to frighten him.

That night, Lin Xi rushed to the Fifth Chemical Plant in Suzhou City again, but the driver was replaced by Ni Lingwei instead of He Xuan.He Xuan also wanted to go there, but Lin Xi didn't agree, and asked her to go to the furniture store to do some errands, and then rest early.

When the car drove out of the urban area, Lin Xi saw a deli, and asked Ni Lingwei to stop the car, and then went to buy some deli.

More than half an hour later, Ni Lingwei parked the car at the gate of the chemical plant.Before Lin Xi opened the car door, he said to Ni Lingwei: "Sister, just wait for me in the car, it may be a while, you..."

"I'm fine, you go!" Ni Lingwei said softly, "As long as you can figure this out, you'll be fine even if you wait until dawn!"

Lin Xi was very moved in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just nodded at Ni Lingwei, then took two bottles of wine and cooked vegetables, opened the door and got out of the car.

Looking at the pitch-black factory area, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then knocked on the door of the reception room.

Seeing Lin Xi carrying the food and drink in his hands, Lao Zhangtou felt hot, and quickly greeted him warmly: "Mr. Lin, you are so polite. If you want to drink, please say hello in advance. Why do you bring your own food and drink!"

"Mr. Zhang, it should be. I hit it off with you here this morning. Let's get drunk now!" Lin Xi said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, Boss Lin is interested in this, the little old man will definitely accompany you, please, please!" Old Zhangtou was very happy and greeted warmly.

Old Zhangtou is alone, since his wife left, he has nothing to worry about, and smoking and drinking have become his greatest hobby.The two bottles of Wuliangye in Lin Xi's hands hooked out all the wine worms in his stomach. Besides, being able to drink with the boss of a company is also the capital that Lao Zhangtou will brag about in front of others in the future, and he cherishes it even more. .

Lin Xi opened a bottle of Wuliangye, gurgled and poured it into the bowls in front of the two of them, half a catty each, not a single drop left.

"Come on, Mr. Zhang, let us become Wangnian friends!" Lin Xi said while picking up the wine bowl, and lightly touched the head of Mr. Zhang.

Lao Zhangtou took a sip. This was the first time in his life that he drank such a good wine. He needed to taste it carefully, not like Zhu Bajie who ate ginseng fruit. Not only did he not taste the taste, but it made people laugh.

Tobacco and alcohol are the things that can most shorten the distance between men, and have nothing to do with age.When half of the wine in the bowl was drunk, Lin Xi and old man Zhang gradually became acquainted.

Seeing the slightly drunk old Zhang Tou, Lin Xi realized that although he was greedy for alcohol, his drinking capacity was very average, so he decided to talk about business first, and then drink, the old man might have too much.

Lin Xi pushed the bowl to the middle of the small square table, handed a cigarette to the old man and said, "Mr. Zhang, to tell you the truth, I'm coming over tonight. Apart from drinking with you, I have something else I want to ask you about." .”

After hearing this, the old Zhangtou showed a troubled expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Boss Lin, old man, I have lived for a long time, if I don't understand why you are here, then my life will be in vain." No. Although I don’t like fat pigs, I’m from this factory after all, so please forgive me!”

While saying this, the old man took Lin Xi's cigarette and lit it with a snap.As he said, the old Zhangtou was well aware of Lin Xi's intention to come, and he was very conflicted in his heart. Although he rejected the other party's request, his tone was not firm.

Naturally, Lin Xi would not let go of such an opportunity. He reached out from his pocket and took out the envelope that He Xuan had prepared in advance, pushed it in front of Old Zhang, and said, "Old Zhang, it can be seen that you are too. Temperamental person, I just want to know that what you see is not made out of nothing, and I promise that no matter when it comes, I will not tell you!"

When the old Zhangtou saw the yellow-gray envelope folded in half, he was a little tempted, but he was a little worried, for fear that Lin Xi would reveal the matter. After all, he still needed to stay in the factory, and he didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

"Mr. Zhang, let me tell you the truth. These [-] sets of desks and chairs are only a few thousand dollars. I really don't care. The key is that I feel panicked." Lin Xi said angrily, " My personality should be similar to yours, I will do it with real swords and guns, it’s okay to lose, but stabbing a knife in the back is absolutely not allowed.”

After the old Zhangtou heard this, there was a gleam in his cloudy eyes, he picked up the bowl, took a big gulp of wine, then put the wine bowl on the table vigorously, and said angrily: "Fatty Wang, you first Don't blame Zhang Laosan for being unkind!"

After Lin Xi heard this, he was very happy, but he didn't show it. He just exhaled light blue smoke and waited for the next sentence.

"Mr. Lin, on the night when your company delivered the goods, a truck drove in from the factory, worked hard for half an hour, and then drove out. As for what they did, because they are far away, I I didn’t go to see it, I really don’t know.” Old Zhangtou said.

Lin Xi knew the meaning of the other party's words. It was impossible for the old man to not know what the truck was doing, but he was just afraid of getting into trouble, so he presumed that he didn't know.
