Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

Lin Shaowen ran to the study room and took out a pack of cigarettes, stuffed them into Xiaoman's pocket, and said, "Give some to your fellow apprentices... I'm leaving now."

"Brother Lin, take care."

Xiaoman and others immediately shouted with smiles on their faces.

"Ah."

Lin Shaowen turned around and took Ran Qiuye out the door.

"Master, what do you think our Brother Lin does for a living?" Xiaoman whispered, "This courtyard is already magnificent enough, but he is still constantly buying houses. If he continues like this, he will have to buy this courtyard."

"What did I tell you?" Lei Dali said with a straight face.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Xiaoman immediately stood up straight.

"If even a word of this gets out, I'll tear your head off," Lei Dali said. "Brother Lin has been very kind to us. If we cause trouble for him, are we still human?"

"I'm just curious." Xiaoman said with a guilty look on his face.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up." Lei Dali said angrily, "Put away your cigarettes quickly and let's get to work..."

"Yes."

Xiaoman and others responded and immediately started taking out tools.

Chapter 537 Lin Shaowen is crazy

There are four major department stores in the old city, namely Dafang Department Store, Xinjiekou Department Store, Yong'an Road Department Store and Hufangqiao Department Store. These four department stores were extremely popular and became the places that almost everyone yearned for.

Moreover, the sales clerks inside were all arrogant and didn't even raise their heads when they saw customers.

Above the four major department stores, there is another store.

That is the legendary Friendship Store.

The Friendship Store is very special. It is so special that it does not accept Chinese currency. Or rather, some products do not accept Chinese currency, but accept foreign exchange coupons. However, those foreign exchange coupons are all good things, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

As for televisions, watches... I don't even want to mention them.

Lin Shaowen was not yet so reckless as to go to the Friendship Store to spend money. Even though he had caught a lot of foreign exchange coupons, he still didn't dare to... after all, it was too sensitive.

Xinjiekou Department Store.

Ran Qiuye almost bit off her tongue when she saw the dazzling array of goods and the extremely high prices. A cashmere coat alone cost about 136 yuan, which was her five-month salary.

"Shao Wen, why don't we go to another place?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Shaowen asked, tilting his head.

"This price is too high." Ran Qiuye pulled at his clothes, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look..."

"It doesn't matter. We have to eat dumplings every year." Lin Shaowen smiled, "And we don't have to buy them. We can just take a look and learn something new."

"Well... let's make a deal first, we're only going to look and not buy." Ran Qiuye said with a stern face.

"Let's see it."

Lin Shaowen laughed and took her for a stroll.

But at this moment, a burly man came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, uncle, why are you here?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"I'm the manager here." Cai Shenxu glanced at Ran Qiuye, hit him lightly, and whispered, "What are you doing? Be careful or my brother-in-law will tear you down."

"Uncle, you won't do that, will you?" Lin Shaowen said in panic.

"That's enough. You can't even pretend." Cai Shenxu laughed. "If there really was a relationship, would you dare to bring it out so blatantly?"

"Hahaha."

Lin Shaowen also laughed and introduced, "This is our neighbor in the courtyard, Ran Qiuye, the elementary school teacher... This is my uncle, Cai Shenxu, Manager Cai."

"Hello, Manager Cai." Ran Qiuye said politely.

"Hello, Teacher Ran." Cai Shenxu nodded and put his arm around Lin Shaowen's shoulders. "Tell me what you like and I'll go to the front desk to get you a ticket. I know you have money... but you can't spend it like this."

"What's the point?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"Last time you sent a TV to my family and Lin Gang's family, we were checked over and over again... In the end, it was Minister Xu who came forward to guarantee that there was no problem with the source of the TV series tickets, and the matter was settled."

Cai Shenxu sighed, "You and Xiaoyu are too young and act rashly... Our location is very sensitive, and some things can't be taken home just by sending them."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Shaowen was shocked.

He really didn't know that Zhang Xiaoyu gave a TV to Lin Gang and Cai Shenxu.

"Don't underestimate our small department store. The situation is too complicated." Cai Shenxu lowered his voice and said, "Maybe there is someone behind them. If someone mentions this, you can expect to be investigated."

"Sure, I listen to you."

Lin Shaowen hurriedly said, "Help me get a watch, a bicycle, a wool coat... 20 pieces, oh, and a Dacron shirt? That's a good thing, 20 pieces too."

"Are you crazy?" Cai Shenxu looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. "I know you are rich, but are you unable to live like this?"

“Even if you spend all your money, it can come back again.” Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"you……"

Cai Shenxu was about to say something when suddenly a young man walked over.

He immediately restrained his expression and put on a dignified look.

"Manager Cai..."

"Manager Hou, this is the shift, where are you going?"

"I'm just taking a look around."

Manager Hou glanced at Ran Qiuye nonchalantly, then moved his gaze to Lin Shaowen. He couldn't help but shudder, "Lin...Brother Lin?"

"You are……"

Lin Shaowen tried hard to recall, and then asked in surprise, "Aren't you the monkey following behind Xie Hongjun?"

"Ahem...Brother Lin, this is my unit, can you please not call me by a nickname?" Manager Hou said with a bitter face.

"But I don't know your name." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Brother Lin, my name is Hou Jie, and I'm the deputy manager of the department store." Manager Hou said seriously.

"Do you know each other?" Cai Shenxu looked at Lin Shaowen.

"Of course I don't know him." Hou Jie said helplessly, "Last time, Brother Lin almost kicked me to death. I went back and lay down for three days before I recovered..."

"This……"

Cai Shenxu looked at Lin Shaowen with confusion.

Hou Jie has a prominent background, he was born in a wealthy family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the vice president of a department store at such a young age. How could such a person be almost beaten to death by Lin Shaowen?

"Let's not talk about the past." Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "You are doing well, the deputy manager must be a section-level cadre, right?"

"Deputy Section Chief, Deputy Section Chief..." Hou Jie said hurriedly, "Brother Lin, I heard that you beat up Du Wenbo?"

"What kind of beating? It's just a sparring match." Lin Shaowen said lightly.

"I heard that you beat Du Wenbo so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. A few days later, Minister Du sent him to the army."

Hou Jie looked like he was saying, "Don't lie to me."

"That's not true." Lin Shaowen said bitterly, "Who the hell spread such a rumor? Be careful that Du Wenbo will come back to settle accounts with you after he retires from the army."

"I heard it, I heard it."

Hou Jie immediately shrank his neck.

It seems that he is often beaten by Du Wenbo.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the office." Cai Shenxu suggested.

"to make."

Lin Shaowen is quick to accept advice.

Hou Jie hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

in the office.

After Cai Shenxu poured a few cups of tea, he looked at Lin Shaowen and said, "You want so many things, it's really hard for me to pay for them... unless there is proof from the company that it's almost there."

"Brother Lin, what do you want to buy?" Hou Jie asked curiously, "It doesn't matter if there are a lot of things. I can help you here, but you have to pay for it yourself. My salary is not very high."

"Small things."

Lin Shaowen took the paper on the table and wrote a list.

"Wow, this must be several thousand dollars in total?" Hou Jie looked at him in surprise, "No wonder Brother Hongjun said we were just a small-time gang... In terms of ability, none of us can compare to you."

"Bullshit." Lin Shaowen cursed with a smile, "At least I don't dare to lead a group of people to Lao Mo..."

"Brother Lin, can you please not talk about these things?" Hou Jie said with a bitter face, "Because of Lao Mo's incident, we were all scolded by our family. Brother Hongjun was directly put in solitary confinement."

"Is there still this?"

Lin Shaowen was immediately happy.

Chapter 538 Protection

"Shao Wen, you buy so many things, aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will investigate you?" Cai Shenxu frowned.

"When my father passed away, he left me 5,000 yuan." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "I have saved some money over the years...all clean."

"sharp."

Hou Jie stood in awe.

Why doesn’t he have such a good father?

"Can these things be done?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"Brother Lin, you and Manager Cai..." Hou Jie hesitated.

"He is my uncle-in-law, my biological husband." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Just now I saw that you two... were not getting along?"

"How can that be possible?" Hou Jie said helplessly, "Manager Cai is a serious official, so he naturally looks down on people like us who rely on our family to get to where we are. I respect him very much."

"You should stop taking on so much responsibility for your brothers." Cai Shenxu said unhappily, "At the end of every month, there are discrepancies in the accounts. How do you want me to explain this to the higher-ups?"

"Didn't we make up the money afterwards?" Hou Jie whispered.

"You also know it's after the fact?" Cai Shenxu said helplessly, "What is the first rule of our department store?"

"No credit." Hou Jie said with a red face.

"This money was temporarily paid by me for you. If it happens again, you will have to explain it to your superiors yourself," Cai Shenxu said with a straight face.

"There won't be a next time." Hou Jie said gratefully, "Since I was beaten by Brother Lin last time, I know I was wrong. I will work hard."

"That's more like it." Cai Shenxu breathed a sigh of relief. "Go and buy these things for him... split them up into several units to purchase them."

"no problem."

Hou Jie patted his chest and said, "This matter... I know everything about it."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

When they came out of the department store, Ran Qiuye looked at the things in the trunk and kept wiping his sweat.

Just a few thousand dollars, and you just spend it?

Lin Shaowen didn't care about it. He just took her to Quanjude for a meal, packed some roast ducks, and then parked the car in front of the yard.

"Push the bike back to your house. I'll wait here."

"Ah."

Ran Qiuye nodded obediently, looked around, and made sure there were no acquaintances before getting out of the car.

Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

At this time.
