After Qiao Tianhao carefully put the Wanhong Fruit and Qinglan Fruit into the Storage Spirit Ring, and told him that Wanhong Fruit needed to be taken immediately, and Qinglan Fruit must also be taken within half a month, Lin Dong waved his hand.

"Get out, go to the lobby by the way and help me call Ma Chun over."

Qiao Tianhao nodded with a smile, he wanted to pat himself for a while, but remembering that the medicinal effect of Wanhongguo was constantly volatilizing, he immediately gave up this opportunity to pat himself on the back and rushed all the way to the lobby.

Lin Dong took the time to open the inn system, and when he called up Qiao Tianhao's surname, his loyalty had jumped from eighty-three to eighty-seven.

According to this level of growth, when Qiao Tianhao takes ten thousand red fruits, he will almost be able to run to ninety, and if he can't do it, it will be more than enough after eating the green and blue fruits.

Once one is done, the other remains.

For the guys at the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City, Lin Dong was busy cultivating all day long, and only met with everyone at the end of each month when his salary was paid. Then I usually meet when I go out, and I don't know much about it. In my impression, this Liu Hua is also articulate and diligent, and among the guys, he should belong to the upper middle level.

In a moment, Qiao Tianhao rushed out, said hello to Lin Dong, and shot all the way towards the door.

After a while, Ma Chun walked in quickly.

"Shopkeeper, are you looking for me?"

Lin Dong nodded and asked, "How is the inn business?" ”

Ma Chun smiled helplessly: "I keep eighty tables a day, and after the price is raised, the loss is not much, one or two hundred taels of silver a day." As for the Chamber of Commerce...... Every day, there is news that three or five counties will be selected for the presidents of the Supervisory Yuan, and tomorrow they will be selected for the presidents of the Supervisory Yuans in five or six counties. However, if it is really the same as the shopkeeper said, this is all a conspiracy of Fenglin Restaurant, I estimate that the list will definitely not be published......"

The irritability in his heart was surging again, and Lin Dong reluctantly diverted the topic and asked, "How is Liu Hua doing in the past two days?" ”

"Liu Hua?" Ma Chun was stunned, shook his head and said: "It's still the same, I have always let him be in charge of the table on the southeast side of the second floor of the lobby, his hands and feet are quite sharp, and he is also smart." ”

"Nothing else?" Lin Dong was also stunned, Liu Hua's loyalty declined, wasn't it because he was scolded by Ma Chun?

"Nope! I went home a few days ago. Ma Chun shook his head, thought about it, and said again: "The spirit is not very good in the past two days, and I finish work every day, soft, but I still work hard when I do things." ”

Lin Dong was relieved, there should be something at home.

As long as you know the reason, Lin Dong asked, "Have you asked him the reason for his bad spirits?" ”

"Yesterday I casually asked if it was uncomfortable." Ma Chun explained: "He just shook his head, and I didn't dig into it, but when it was a little hot in the summer, he might not be able to adapt to it." ”

Lin Dong nodded, waved his hand and said: "I have something to do with him, I will tell him later, you told me that he is not in good spirits, and he can't ask the reason, he is a little worried, he casually mentioned it to me just now, so I asked him to come and ask." ”

Ma Chun opened his mouth to ask the reason, hesitated, but chose to remain silent and nodded slowly.

After sitting in the backyard for a moment, a young man in his early twenties in a coarse cloth jacket walked in quickly.

Stopped four or five meters away from the stone table, looked at Lin Dong who was alone, Liu Hua was a little apprehensive, went up a few steps further, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, Steward Ma said you are looking for me?" ”

"Sit down and talk." Lin Dong gestured towards the opposite position.

Liu Hua nodded, he had been in contact with him a few times, but he also knew Lin Dong's easy-going surname, so he was a little more apprehensive, walked quickly to the stone table, and sat down cautiously.

"Ma Chun and I were chatting just now, and I asked him how the guys were." Lin Dong said with a smile: "He said that except for the fact that you are not in good spirits and are a little worried because the weather is getting hot, the guys are not bad." It just so happens that I'm idle, so I'll ask him to come over and ask you. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Liu Hua was suddenly grateful in his heart, and hurriedly got up and said: "It's just that there are some troubles at home, and I am not in a good mood these days, and I may be a little confused when I do things, and I ask the shopkeeper to forgive me." ”

Lin Dong shook his head: "Ma Chun said that when you do things, you are the same as usual, but you don't have any energy after closing the door, so he is worried that you are holding on." ”

Liu Hua was grateful, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to speak, but Lin Dong waved his hand to stop him: "If there is anything troublesome at home, let's listen to it and see if I can help." ”

"How dare you trouble the shopkeeper." Liu Hua shook his head busily: "There are a lot of things in the shopkeeper, just a little thing, and the shopkeeper is worried." ”

"Let's talk about it!" Lin Dong said with a smile: "You haven't been at the inn for a short time, and you don't know the inn's attitude towards every diner." Diners and guests encounter troubles, the inn can do what you can to help, you do things for me, if there is really any trouble, there is no reason to ignore it. ”

"Shopkeeper, it's really nothing." Liu Hua hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just that my brother is in some trouble, and in the past few days, he should have gotten a lot better." ”

"Your brother?" Lin Dong asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"This ......" Liu Hua hesitated.

"There's something going on at home, and you're not at ease at the inn. If you don't feel at ease, how can you do things well in the inn? Lin Dong smiled: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Liu Hua nodded helplessly and explained: "Actually, there are a lot of big things, and my brother was kicked out of the shop by the boss some time ago, and he has not been in a good mood. ”

"Kicked out of the shop by the boss?" Lin Dong was puzzled: "What is the reason?" ”

"It was my brother who stole the money from the shop." Liu Hua sighed heavily: "My brother is smart and diligent, and he is loyal to the shop, how can he do that kind of thing." In my opinion, it must be the other guys who saw that the boss often praised him, and they were not convinced, so they joined forces to frame him. The boss was too, he actually believed it, and insisted on deducting my brother's salary for a month, and asked people to beat him out. So far, the injuries on his body have not healed. And he didn't listen to any persuasion, and his mind was full of thoughts about proving his innocence, and as a result, he went to a shop and was beaten back once. ”

Lin Dong was relieved, no matter whether this was true or not, Liu Hua would definitely believe that his brother was innocent. In this way, it is reasonable that Liu Hua's loyalty will decrease.

A boss who usually praises his buddies, but when he encounters something, he changes his face again, not only deducting his wages, but also beating people out. Lin Dong believes that if this kind of thing happens to anyone's brother, he will definitely be heart-to-heart, and he will be a little dissatisfied with his boss. At the very least, there must be some influence on faithfulness.

This matter is not difficult to solve, even if it is left alone, Lin Dong believes that within a month or two, Liu Hua will be able to recover again. The easiest way to speed up the task is to help his brother get back on his feet.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Dong asked, "Are you sure that your brother didn't steal the silver?" ”

"Sure, sure." Liu Hua said without hesitation: "My brother, I know best, loyal to his boss, every time I meet with him, I listen to him say how the boss values him and how he plans to serve the boss." There were more than a dozen taels of silver lost, although it was a lot, but it was not to the extent that it made my brother red. What's more, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be so stupid that everyone will go away together, leaving him alone to steal silver in the shop. ”

Lin Dong was dumbfounded, at this moment, he also believed that Liu Hua's brother was framed. As Liu Hua said, no matter how stupid he is, he will not be so stupid that everyone can prove that he is the only one in the shop to steal silver.

However, it stands to reason that the boss will not believe it.

Lin Dong couldn't help asking: "Didn't your brother tell his boss this?" ”

"I said it, but what's the use of saying it." Liu Hua said helplessly: "I remember it clearly in the account book, everyone went to eat, and it was a fact that my brother was left alone. Saying that he didn't take it makes sense. It is said that he took it, and the reason is more reasonable, otherwise, the silver would never fly away. ”

Lin Dong frowned slightly, it was still an unsolved case.

Liu Hua sighed heavily: "My brother has been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and I don't know what his companions did." ”

"Could it be that his boss miscalculated?" Lin Dong asked.

"In the morning, the total is only twenty-three taels of silver." Liu Hua smiled bitterly: "How could it be wrong." ”

Lin Dong was silent, and he didn't bother to think about the reason. Since Liu Hua's brother is clever and diligent, and the boss used to praise him, he should be a buddy, and he will not be worse than other buddies after studying in the inn for a few days.

As long as you persuade the other party to come to the inn as a buddy, Liu Hua should go to this troublesome matter. Even if there is still some psychological shadow on the person who is the boss, it can recover in three or five days.

After thinking about it, Lin Dong decided: "You go home and bring your brother over." ”

"The shopkeeper wants to see my brother?" Liu Hua was surprised.

Lin Dong nodded and said, "Since you are so sure, I believe that your brother is not the kind of person with unclean hands and feet." Clever and diligent, this kind of guy, others don't want it, the more we Lin Ji Inn, the better. ”

Liu Hua was overjoyed and kept thanking him.

"Okay, go talk to Ma Chun and go back immediately." Lin Dong waved his hand.

"Huh!"

Liu Hua's face was full of joy, and he turned around to leave, but he stopped after a few steps, and turned around with an ugly face.

"Shopkeeper, my brother is now full of thoughts about how to prove his innocence to the boss, I'm afraid he won't come to our inn to be a buddy."

Lin Dong was stunned, this is a troublesome matter.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong resolutely said, "Whether your brother wants to be a buddy at Lin Ji Inn or not, bring him over first for me to see." If I look like I've been framed and wronged, even if he doesn't want to be a guy at the inn, I can consider whether I can help him find out the ins and outs of the whole thing. ”

Liu Hua couldn't help but be happy, the shopkeeper was really willing to help, with his relationship with Master Li, he could make the yamen come out of the nest with a word.

Among so many officials, there are always a few people with strong ability to investigate cases, and their brother's matter will definitely be revealed.

Even if he can't get to the bottom of it, as long as he finds a way to leave his brother in the inn for a few days, after he gets acquainted with the other guys in the inn, it is estimated that he will not be able to get rid of it.
