Chapter 39: Shake hands and make peace
When he went up to the chairman's office on the top floor, Mr. Lin asked Wang Feng to sit down, Wang Feng was polite, and waited for him to sit down before he sat down. For the elderly, Wang Feng has always been respectful. But seeing that Lin Zixiong didn't dare to sit, just standing behind the old man, it seems that the Lin family is quite exquisite, as for Lin Jiaqi, he is responsible for serving tea and pouring water.
From this point of view, the Lin family's style should be good, how could he do such a ridiculous thing as burning other people's houses? Wang Feng was surprised, the old man Lin was also confused, looking at Wang Feng's dignified appearance, a talent, and polite, and he didn't seem to be a troublemaker, but he was undoubtedly targeting the Lin group here, what was the reason? When did the Lin family offend this kind of character?
"Mr. Wang must have come here to see something, please tell my old man clearly, if my Lin family has done anything wrong, I should apologize, I should apologize, and I should apologize, so what about getting such a field?"
"Hehe, don't dare. It's me who came to ask the old man, the Lin family pharmacy is so famous, and it is also a leading large enterprise in our Haicheng, the old man Lin has great medical skills and has saved countless people, and I Wang Feng has admired it for a long time. But she didn't pay a weak woman for medicine, burned down someone's house, left with 20,000 yuan, and didn't apologize a word?
Although Wang Feng's demeanor was respectful, his tone gradually became stern: "If this is the style of your old man Lin's family, I, Wang Feng, have nothing to say." If not, please ask the old man to administer justice to that little girl!"
"Hehe, Mr. Wang's words are extremely ridiculous, my Lin Group has been doing business for so many years, and my reputation is chiseled, and the payment for goods has always been settled on the spot, how can there be such a thing as arrears? It is really ridiculous to burn down other people's houses! Mr. Wang is only afraid that he will take it seriously after listening to other people's rumors, right? If he is so reckless, he will come to ask for the guilt, and where will the reputation of my Lin family be for a hundred years!" Lin Zixiong couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.
"Mr. Lin is a little restless, the house is what I saw with my own eyes, and there were many neighbors who were present to witness when the people of your group company burned the house, and now that little girl is in Haicheng, everything is conclusive, Mr. Lin actually said that he didn't know? Could it be that the Lin family has another name in Haicheng?" Wang Feng said in a deep voice.
"Zixiong, don't be in a hurry, since Mr. Wang said so, there must be a reason for him. Won't it be clear if you call someone from the raw materials department to ask?" Seeing that Wang Feng didn't look like he was lying, Old Man Lin secretly said in his heart that something might not be good. If such a scandal happened to the Lin family, once it spread, then the credibility in the business world would plummet, and this is not a trivial matter!
Lin Zixiong didn't dare to disobey his father's words, so he picked up the phone and ordered a few words, and asked the person in charge of the department in charge of purchasing to talk back.
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door, Lin Zixiong shouted and came in, and a thin and tall man came in after the door, obviously followed by someone, it should be his subordinates, he didn't know what was going on, but listening to Mr. Lin's stern tone, he didn't dare to slack off, just in case, he brought a few of his subordinates together.
"Come in. Old Man Lin said.
"This guest's name is Wang Feng, he said that our Lin Group owes people money?
"Back to the old man's words, there is really a batch of medicinal materials that have not been settled, that is, there is a scoundrel in the seaside fishing village, sitting on the ground and asking for money, my subordinates are not popular, so I temporarily freeze his money. But he didn't say no, he paid 18,000 yuan, and the scoundrel asked for 40,000 yuan, and when our goods were loaded, he stopped us from leaving, and our people ignored him and came back. ”
This is a fat man in his fifties, and it seems that he is also the head of a department, and it is probably rare to see Old Man Lin, so his nervous speech is a little unclear.
"And then. Old Man Lin was not in a hurry, he just continued to ask, he knew that there would definitely be a follow-up.
"When my subordinates came back, they told me about it, I knew the rules of our Lin family, scolded them, and asked them to pay them immediately with the money. Then I went to a trade fair in the city, and I didn't get a reward. The fat man said.
"Well, then get your men and ask them out, right away. The old man said: "Mr. Wang, please drink tea, this is Shifeng Longjing, it tastes good, right?" "Old man Lin sits upright like Mount Tai, and he is calm and relaxed.
Wang Feng nodded and smiled, Old Man Lin is really particular about doing things, investigating the ins and outs in front of him, and he is not afraid of the ugliness of his family, no matter what, at least he is very upright.
In fact, at this moment, maybe others don't know it in their hearts, Wang Feng and Old Man Lin can basically determine the truth. It seems that this fat man's subordinates are reckless, burning other people's houses to know the loss, thinking that losing money will be enough, of course, most of them are also relying on the power of the Lin family, and they think that the fishermen in the small village will definitely not dare to come to the Lin family to make trouble. I didn't dare to talk back to the fat man, thinking about getting by.
Sure enough, after a while, four or five dejected young people came, and under the fierce questioning of the fat man, the beans were poured into the bamboo tube, and all the things with Qi San's face were clearly explained. The situation is exactly the same as what Wang Feng knows, and it is not bad at all.
Old Man Lin was silent for a long time, and waved his hand to order everyone to go out. Lin Zixiong didn't say a word, and went out with a pale face, how the Lin family handled family affairs, Wang Feng didn't want to ask, but he believed that these boys would definitely not be better.
Lin Jiaqi, who had been silent, was the last to go out and closed the door gently.
Old Man Lin sighed, stood up and walked in front of Wang Feng, bent down deeply and was about to bow, Wang Feng hurriedly got up and supported him. It seems that the old man is very angry, although he is not angry, but his face is flushed, and his lips are trembling.
Wang Feng also understands medical skills, so he naturally knows that holding his breath like this hurts the most. "Those who don't know are not guilty, and besides, there are thousands of people in the Lin family group, it is inevitable that there will be individual black sheep, and the old man does not have to be too angry, so as not to hurt himself. Wang Feng reversed and comforted him.
"Hehe, having said that, it is also my old man's laxity, how can he be exempt from responsibility? Since this is the case, the old man has nothing to say. No matter what Mr. Wang draws, my old man has to continue. I just hope that Mr. Wang will look at my old man's thin face and let our Lin family have a way to live. Old Man Lin said bitterly.
"Why did the old man say this? I don't mean to force each other. Wang Feng was surprised, he just came to ask for an explanation, to seek justice, so far, everyone has finally talked clearly, how can he still say that the way to live is not to go to the road? How can it be so serious.
"Mr. Wang, what is the importance of doing business? It is a reputation, once you lose your reputation, it is worthless. Our Lin family has been in business for generations, and we have never done anything unpleasant, but now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, such things have happened. Burning people's houses? Oh, that's something that bandits used to do easily. Old Man Lin held his chest and gasped, he was really angry.
"I am speechless when Mr. Lin said this, how to end this matter, please show the old man, and the younger generation will obey all orders. Wang Feng sighed and said.
"Okay, then I'll mention a few and discuss it with Mr. Wang. First, my old man will personally come to the door to apologize to the little girl's family; second, I will send someone to rebuild the burned house as it was, and all losses will be compensated or discounted by 500,000 yuan in cash, depending on the little girl's meaning, I have nothing to say. The old man said.
"Hmm. Wang Feng nodded, he was still satisfied with these two items.
"The third is to give this girl ten times the price, and in the end, I will punish those bastards severely, and I will definitely let the little girl out of this breath. The old man's last sentence is interesting, burning someone's house is a crime, of course, this matter can be big or small, if it is big, it is arson, it is a felony, and if it is small, it is a misunderstanding, as long as Qiu Lulu does not pursue it, it will be fine.
Old Man Lin said that it was a severe punishment, but he did not say anything about the officials. Of course, it is not that he protects the calf, but once he goes through the legal process, no matter what the verdict is, the reputation of the Lin family will be gone. Those who know that it is a few boys who don't know the height of the sky, and those who don't know naturally think that the Lin family is bullying.
Coupled with the spread of rumors and the fanning of rivals, I am afraid that the reputation of the Lin family will plummet, which is what the old man is most concerned about. He said that he asked Wang Feng to let the Lin family go, referring to this matter. People are handled by the old man, but they can't be officials.
Wang Feng thought about it and nodded, thinking that it was okay to deal with it this way. Because there is a key point here, that is, these guys who set the fire are running for Qi San, and they really don't mean to bully Qiu Lulu. The mistake they made was not to deal with the aftermath in a good way, but to throw the money away and walk away.
The compensation given by Old Man Lin is okay, presumably Qiu Lulu's temper will not delve into this matter anymore, so it will be over. Qiu Lulu will develop in Haicheng in the future, and it is not appropriate to settle grievances with the Lin family. Especially Qiu Lulu is still doing medicinal herb planting, if there is the support of the Lin family, then there is almost no need to worry about sales.
"Everything is according to the old man's orders, but you don't have to apologize in person, just send a representative, otherwise it will be a bit shocking, and Qiu Lulu is afraid that a little girl will not be able to afford it. "Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. Wang Feng began to pave the way for Qiu Lulu.
"This, if I don't go in person, I'm afraid that I will ......," Old Man Lin hesitated.
"Old man Lin, when I saw it today, I realized that the time-honored brand of the Lin family is indeed worthy of its name, it is really everyone's demeanor, Old Man Lin is upright, and the style of believing in the ancients still exists in the world. The younger generations have offended a lot, and they are presumptuous to come, so please take care of Mr. Lin. He bowed to the old man.
"Oh, young man, it's really unbelievable, I was at fault first, how can I accept your courtesy?" Old Man Lin turned his worries into joy and said with a smile. It seems that this young man knows how to advance and retreat, understands the overall situation, talks about etiquette, is neither humble nor arrogant, and does things with a chivalrous style, and he admires it in his heart.
"I respect the old man's character, and I can be a model for the younger generation. Wang Feng also smiled.
"Hehehe, good, good. Old Man Lin said two good things in a row, and his face has returned to normal. Unexpectedly, this kid can fight and talk, and the old man who shoots on the back is also strangely comfortable. smiled: "If Mr. Wang has nothing else to do, how about having a drink with the old man?" He was sincerely invited, but not polite.
"The elder gives, don't dare to resign, the younger generation will naturally obey the order, but the old man will only call me Wang Feng in the future, if Mr. or something, the old man will never mention it again. Wang Feng said with a smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, and a storm turned into nothing.
