Chapter 35: Head-to-head
"Lin Xiang, even if the Jockey Club is in charge of the preparation, you only need to allocate the materials and personnel on the list to me for use, and you don't have to worry about other matters of the project, after completion, you can come in person or send someone to come for acceptance." Lin Lifu, whom Qi Ran went to see in person.
No one has ever talked to Lin Lifu like that.
"The court has invested a lot, and you just let the court leave it alone?" Lin Lifu was funny.
"Lin Xiang, you are a smart person, I have invested the most in this project, and I have also built a surrounding business district, if the project office is smashed, I will not be able to return my money. How could I, Qi Ran, do such a thing! ”
"Li'er understands everything, but people's words are terrifying!" Lin Xiang didn't eat him.
"Lin Xiang, just because Yanran is my second leader, you avoid suspicion everywhere? The ancients said well: the virtuous do not avoid relatives! You must force Yanran to leave, right? Qi Ran was in an unhappy mood. He has a pure heart, and he seems to be a mercenary villain here in Lin Xiang.
"If you know, why bother asking." Lin Xiang did not deny it.
Qi Ran was not calm when he heard this, and looked at Lin Lifu, who was holding a teacup and drinking water, and said: "I walked all morning, and waited at the gate of the official office for an hour, and now my mouth is dry, can you pour a glass of water first, this is the way of hospitality." ”
"It turns out that Boss Qi is also in a hurry." Lin Lifu was lukewarm and lost his sentence, but he didn't tell his subordinates to pour water for Qi Ran.
"The whole person doesn't carry this. As the saying goes: the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly. Now I see that a generation of good looks is also such a small chicken belly. Qi Ran really drank it, and he found a cup to pour water to drink, but found that there was no extra teacup.
"Bring me a glass of boiled water." Qi Ran said helplessly to Lin Lifu.
"Is this the attitude that Elder He should have?" Lin Lifu put down the cup in his hand and said.
"I Qi Ran has a personality, just like that, I can't get used to seeing you wear small shoes for me, besides, this is not the first time."
"It's getting more and more presumptuous." Lin Lifu put down the cup in his hand and shouted to the outside, "Come on, please let this person out." ”
"Lin Xiang, this is your mistake. The matters assigned by His Majesty have been pressed with you for a long time, and you are not afraid of rumors! Qi Ran said hurriedly before the people outside came in.
"Without you, this Jockey Club won't be able to do it!"
Lin Lifu was most annoyed that someone was pressing him with His Majesty.
"The plan is on your desk, of course it can be done, but whether it can be done is another matter." When Qi Ran came in and asked him out, he sat opposite the forest instead, looking like he didn't want to leave.
Lin Lifu looked at him with a malicious smile on his face, and really wanted to give him a few slaps, but he was now the prime minister of Chen Guo, and if he continued to deal with him, it would really be a little chicken's belly.
"Pour me a glass of water." The person Qi Ran looked at Lin Lifu embarrassedly, anti-guest.
Although Lin Lifu was so angry, he still endured it and motioned to pour him a glass of water.
"Refreshing." Qi Ran drank dry half-warm boiling water in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said.
"This prime minister will convene a meeting of six departments in the afternoon, and if there is a fart, let it go."
Lin Lifu was very unhappy when he saw Qi Ran behaving like this, but he also knew that those officials of the Sixth Department had already smelled the gold and silver smell of the Jockey Club, and the military department began to domesticate good horses, and the officers of various departments were also eager to try.
Cutting off people's financial means making himself a strong enemy, and he still knows this principle.
"If Lin Xiang is not at ease, or wants to avoid suspicion, the court will send a supervisor to supervise the work, this horse club, the court only cares about dividends; The royal and major members will also invest in dividends; If you don't make money, believe me Qi Ran won't be able to stay in Chen State, not to mention that Lin Xiang doesn't want to see me, even if I am a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, those officials won't buy it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"It's good to send me an errand supervisor to communicate with various departments of the imperial court, saving me a lot of time to communicate. Yanran chose a good horse to go, and communication with officials is not my strong point, so Lin Xiang sent an official who is good at diplomacy to supervise the work. ”
Qi Ran bargained with Lin Xiang.
"Is Yanran okay?" Lin Xiang coldly lost a sentence.
"You kicked her out of the house, and I didn't do any bad to the second leader. Now she is in charge of finances, and the income and expenditure have to go through her, although I spend a lot of money, but she watches it, and she also knows that it has converged, and she is a good master. ”
"If you fail her, you will never forgive."
Qi Ran heard the 13 words of the hard shed collapse in Lin Xiang's mouth, and coaxed down: "Xiangye, I don't know why Yanran quarreled with you and why she left home, but I am innocent with her, and I have no personal relationship." ”
"What?" Lin Lifu didn't expect to hear a completely different answer from Qi Ran.
"This Xiaoyu knows, and everyone in the White Crane Tower knows." Qi Ran didn't want to miss the opportunity to explain.
"This dead girl is becoming more and more unsuccessful." Lin Xiang's hands trembled when he heard this, and he couldn't hold a cup of tea.
"Yanran is rude and willful, she is favored by Lin Xiang, but she is a righteous person and a widow, if she doesn't have this good character, she can't be our second master. The rules of the White Crane Tower, the capable prevail. ”
Qi Ran was really afraid that Lin Xiang would throw it at him if he stabilized the water in the cup, so he hurriedly explained.
"Do you really only think of Yanran as a business partner?" Lin Xiang asked after being stunned for a moment.
"For now, it's true, don't dare to deceive Lin Xiang."
"But she threatened me, the father, with the confession of her daughter's family, and did not hesitate to sever the father-daughter relationship and run away from home, just to become your business partner?"
Of course Qi Ran won't say it, this is just Lin Yanran's wishful thinking, if he says so, the Lin family's face will be lost, and Miss Xiangye in Lin Xiang's mind will really not be successful.
Yanran knew that Lin Xiang was dedicated to the country and the people, and as a daughter, she always wanted to share her worries for Xiangye, but her daughter's family could not enter the court as an official, and she could not join the army to protect her family and defend the country, so she chose to do business with me. Qi Ran thought that as long as Yanran had serious things to do and didn't idle around, this would be to share Lin Xiang's worries and make her the second master. ”
Qi Ran thought that what he said was reasonable, and he felt that he was really a righteous gentleman with noble character.
"Hmph, what you like is that she is not deeply involved in the world, so I can take the lead for you to establish a firm foundation in Chen State." Lin Xiang snorted coldly. He didn't appreciate it.
"Xiangye, you are a righteous gentleman, how can you say such a thing. I, Qi Ran, am not such a person. ”
"Are you saying that I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" Lin Xiang's face sank like water.
"I, Qi Ran, never wanted to take advantage of Yanran, and it would be impossible to say that it was not stained." Qi Ran plans to have a good chat with Lin Xiang, this matter must be clarified, otherwise it will be a pimple in Lin Xiang's heart at all times.
"The business that I Qi Ran does is all legitimate business, when Xiangye asked me to open a store on Erli Street, I was optimistic that I was smart and had a good character, and I didn't know Yanran at that time.
Yanran entered the White Crane Tower to take care of everything, and did not use her identity as a young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, there is no need, our products are in short supply, and it is also her good sisters who want to use them through the back door and want to get more of our products.
I am going to set up a Jockey Club, this plan is the first time, no one approves, Yanran is to Concubine Lin Niangniang, but it is only mentioned, Concubine Lin has a vision, and the royal procurement arranged this procurement.
The medicinal herbs and flower merchants are the joint ventures of the White Crane Tower, and I have no intention of making them royal buyers, which will inevitably affect the business of the White Crane Tower, but Yan Ran somehow signed up in her own name. I have already criticized this after I knew this, but I didn't expect you to punish her. As far as her sex is concerned, I know that I am wrong, I criticize her for having no face, and you still scold her, rebellion is inevitable.
Of course, she didn't expect that the Yi family brothers and sisters would embarrass Concubine Lin, she can only say that she is simple, and she doesn't think about whether she can control the situation by herself, she just wants to be an adult.
In order to prevent Yan Ran from doing foolish things again, after this incident, she was not allowed to come forward in business matters related to the imperial court, and now she is much more mature and can take charge on her own.
As for the officials of the DPRK and China, seeing that Yanran will give us business convenience in terms of face, it is limited to not making it difficult and doing official business! Isn't this exactly what Lin Xiang has always hoped to see the effectiveness of the imperial court? Perhaps, other businessmen have to work a little harder than we do, and this is not in my consideration, because there is nothing I can do about it. ”
"It sounds like you're still aggrieved." Lin Xiang still snorted coldly, and his attitude did not get warmer.
"It's already very aggrieved. The imperial court does not prohibit the children of officials from doing business, who Yanran cooperates with, and how to cooperate is her own business, why should Lin Xiang interfere? ”
"The man should get married, the woman should get married, and she is a big girl who mixes with you all day long, like what."
"Lin Xiang, this is your mistake." Qi Ran slapped the table and got up, "If you don't kick her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't have to live with us if she has a place to live." If you don't recognize her as a daughter, will I, the big boss, ignore my second master! You can be ruthless, I can't be unrighteous. ”
"If it weren't for you, how could Yan Ran be so bold and reckless!"
When Qi Ran heard Lin Xiang say this, he thought that he was making trouble unreasonably, this parent's face can't be erased, and he doesn't need to take the blame.
"Yanran has never been timid, she dared to open the ring in the capital at the age of ten, this initiative is comparable to my building a horse club.
Don't underestimate Yanran's IQ, she knows that no one dares to provoke her because she has a father who is the prime minister, so she has never given a good look to the nobles who have shown favor to her.
Why did she obey me? You think I'm a talent to be made, does she think there's a future with me? ”
"What a scoundrel." Lin Xiang's tone finally softened.
"You give in to Yanran, she will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"It's not too big or too small, you tell her that her father told her to come home." Lin Xiang finally bowed to his daughter.
"Okay." Qi Ran was in a good mood when he left the prime minister's office.
