"Childe, is this Lu Hou's mansion? It's magnificent. Teng Bo said with envy.

"I repeat, don't call me Gongzi, there are only three people in this family who can be called Gongzi, and there is no other look like he has never seen the world, what about the eldest brother's mansion in the capital? It's just one of his estates. Nanxing had to correct Tengbo's slip of the tongue, and the older he grew, the more he knew how much kindness Lu Zifei had to him.

Shao Yong's voice came from behind the two of them, "Who said that you can't be called Childe, you stinky boy doesn't want you to go to the sea, you have to go, now it's dark and like a wild man, I see what you say when you see your brother." ”

"Sir" Nanxing first saluted respectfully, then peeked around and said, "Didn't you say that my brother is still herding sheep in Hejian Mansion?" How did he come back suddenly. ”

Shao Yong grabbed Nanxing's ear and scolded: "A good literati don't have to run a sea boat, you tell me what you think, who made you do this, and there is a trick to cut first and then play, your brother still doesn't know your situation?" It's strange that you wait for him to come back from the north and not pick your skin. ”

Nanxing pointed to Teng Bo and said: "This person is my brother's translator when he went to sea, and now he works for our family, this time I will bring him back to see the world, Teng Bo, this is my eldest brother's gentleman, you can call Mr. Shao." ”

Teng Bo made a four-like gesture and saluted, lowered his head and said, "Hello Mr. Shao"

Shao Yong didn't have any intention of discrimination, he knew how to translate, that is, a cultural person, and it was worth folding and intersecting by himself, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Teng Bo doesn't need to be polite, it just so happens that I have some foreign languages that need the help of a talent like you." ”

"Don't dare to be, discuss with each other"

Nanxing said: "Sir, I went to a meeting, I will come to you later to say goodbye, and if you are not there, you tell him that I brought him a gift." ”

"He can't go there when he's not there, but he's more concerned about a baby than I am, why don't I see you bring me any gifts."

"Your gift has been prepared for a long time, and I will bring it with me after the meeting, and no one can forget you!" For Lu Zifei and Shao Yong, Nanxing has the same respect, although they are not the parents who gave birth to him, but the grace of nurturing is even greater.

Shao Yong said: "It's your sister-in-law who is not presiding over the meeting this year, and you haven't seen her yet!" ”

Nanxing said ashamedly: "It may be a pity for me not to be able to attend my eldest brother's wedding, and I will ask my sister-in-law for a while." ”

"Xiaoyue is a good-tempered person, and she is not the kind of person with a small belly, don't talk about it at the meeting, you go first! Let's talk about it in the evening. ”

There were already a lot of people sitting in the conference room, and several bigwigs at the conference table, Nan Xing, knew each other, and to his surprise, Lu Ziyun was there.

"Is this sun coming out in the west? Our second son actually has time to have a meeting this year. ”

Lu Zifei didn't recognize who this was at first sight, took a closer look, and exclaimed: "Damn, Nanxing, you dare to come back." ”

Nanxing said: "Why can't I come back, this is my home, who won't let me come back." ”

"Brother said, he wants to kill you, I'll give you a reminder in advance." Lu Ziyun gloated.

Nanxing said that he was not afraid, but in his heart he was actually afraid to death, but when he turned his head and saw that Teng Bo, who was blind, actually went to sit on the main seat of the conference table, he quickly pulled the person down and confessed to the other people: "Forgive me, uncles, this person has just come out of the sea." ”

"Nanxing! I heard that you have done a good job this year, and you will have to support your Uncle Zhang in a while. The big shopkeeper of the Eastern caravan said.

Dongfang's opening, the remaining three parties were not to be outdone, and they all opened their mouths to win him over, Nanxing smiled bitterly: "Don't embarrass me, you guys, the rules of the family are clearer than me, and I can't play a role alone." ”

To say that the most nervous person must be Cai Mengyue, Pei Peipei has already done half an hour of work for her, but she is still timid, she doesn't even know what the meeting is.

"If I don't go, you can replace me, okay, Sister Pei."

"No, someone has already explained, and you will be in charge of these things at home in the future, I would like such an opportunity, but someone won't give it to me! My life is miserable, and there are no good lives. ”

Cai Mengyue begged for mercy: "My good sister! At this time, you don't forget to ridicule me, what will your meetings be like in the future, and if I don't do well, will someone say that I am not! ”

"It's said that your life is good, your husband has already arranged it for you, no one dares to say that yours is not, you can do it with confidence."

No one would have thought that Lu Jianuo's big business empire would be in the hands of two women, especially Pei Peipei, who is the top boss in the business circle of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see each other.

With their entry, the conversation in the conference room immediately stopped, and everyone took their places, because today is to decide the direction of the Lu family's business next year, and the big thing is to determine the general trend of Da Song and even the world's business.

Pei Peipei put down the folder in his hand and said: "This year, the head of the family is not here, this meeting will be presided over by Mrs., so let's simply introduce ourselves!" To save time, just say your name and job title. ”

"Eastern Caravan Zhang Fengyu", "Southern Caravan Liu Xu", "Western Caravan Yi Fan", "Northern Caravan Li Fangyou"

When it was Nanxing's turn, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sea Steward Lu Nanxing"

The sudden burst of laughter made Cai Mengyue a little confused about what was going on, and Pei Peipei said angrily: "Wait to be beaten, you are not ashamed but proud." Then he explained to Cai Mengyue.

Cai Mengyue also looked at Nanxing twice more for this reason, and listened to Sister Pei's meaning, this big boy's position in her husband's mind is not low! Being able to become a prince in the fiercely competitive Lu family at such a young age proves that his ability has been recognized by everyone.

"Isn't this also a contribution to my family? Sister Pei, don't hurt me, it's important to have a meeting. ”

Pei Peipei glanced at Nanxing and said: "The family workshop will not participate in the annual meeting in the future, and your four major caravans should pay attention to cultivating more newcomers, the number of people in the family who can control the overall situation is too small, of course this is what the head of the family means, I just convey his thoughts." ”

And then there is the elder brother's shopkeeper, the consul's report for a year, compared to the three years of Qingli, obviously this year's income is much worse, only the sea is unaffected, the capital is almost beyond its means, and it is coincidental that everything in the capital is managed by Pei Peipei.

The big shopkeeper in the north said: "The profit of this year's caravan is not much higher than in previous years There are various reasons, take the north as an example, there is no war on the border, and the soldiers at the pass turn a blind eye to the smugglers, which has a great impact on our business, and there are several places in the north that need to be invested in the early stage." ”

Pei Peipei said: "No one blames you for the decrease in the family's profits, you also understand what the head of the family means, for the invisible expenses in the future, it must also appear in the form of account books, which is a mandatory requirement, the east and west of your two big caravans are too cautious, our Lu family does not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of things, remember this." ”

Nanxing said: "The proceeds at sea are transported home and stored locally at sea"

Pei Peipei said: "Quanzhou is about to establish a branch of the Great Song Bank, when the time comes, it will be good to deposit in the bank, and the goods that are not used temporarily will be placed in the nearest warehouse, and I need to ask the owner of the family." ”

Yi Fan of the Western caravan said: "Whether the investment in Tibet is worth it, the money invested in two years is almost astronomical, but the results are not visible at all. This is like a wronged little daughter-in-law, most of the reason for the bottom of the Western caravans is because of Tibet.

Pei Peipei's face turned bad, it doesn't matter if the caravan didn't make results, but it's not right for you to say that.

"Shopkeeper Yi, are you questioning the decision of the head of the family? I can understand your heart, but I don't want to hear similar words again, the Lu family is more open-minded, but we have to have a degree ourselves, if it is not good, I will repeat it here, who dares to make his own decisions and affect the layout of the head of the family, you can think about the consequences. ”

The aura of the domineering president made everyone present dare not breathe, and they wanted Teng Bo's little minions to be put in the crotch of their pants, including Lu Ziyun, who sat upright and didn't dare to look around.

In the later meetings, most of the time it is remote to arrange the work after the year, to the delight of several big shopkeepers is that many things produced by the family workshop can be taken out and exported to other countries this year, and the things at home are too popular outside, which is also a little comfort to them.

Cai Mengyue was listening and taking notes throughout the whole process, but at the end she said a few words of summary official words, and she quietly asked after everyone was gone: "Sister Pei, is there so much money in the family in a year?" ”

Pei Peipei said: "It may be more than this, because today is only the steward of the caravan, like some people did not come to the meeting, they only listen to your husband, no one knows except him." ”

Cai Mengyue nodded as if he had realized something, this kind of thing will happen in almost every family, and it is also in line with the shape of a family, the only difference is that in the Lu family, Lu Zifei has absolute authority, and no one dares to disobey his meaning.

"He didn't tell you, I don't believe it."

Pei Peipei said: "I really don't know, the teacher probably knows, but he ran away from home, so..." ”

Cai Mengyue felt that she didn't know enough about the Lu family, and she didn't know a lot of things about her husband, just a simple Zhuangzi couldn't get into many places, and I was afraid that no one would believe it when she said it, and sometimes it was not easy for the housewife to do it here.

"Sister Pei, have you been in all those workshops?"

"Our family has been in, and only a few people in those families with military commanders can enter, don't fight this idea, it will really kill people."

"I'm just asking casually, I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, if you don't say it, I know it's about the emperor."

"It's good to know, it's over, and it's time for us to have a good New Year."
