Lin Wanrong glanced at her and saw that she was holding the original copy of the three-page tabloid that he used to earn his first bucket of gold in this world. It was originally taken away by Xiao Yushuang, but then it fell into the hands of this Grand Mistress.
Why did she suddenly ask about this? Could it be that Xiao Yushuang told her? Lin Wanrong had some confidence in Xiao Yushuang. That girl was much more obedient than her older sister, so it shouldn't be her who revealed it.
This was strange. Lin Wanrong was puzzled. How did she know that this matter was related to him?
He and this Grand Mistress didn't have a good relationship. When they met, they quarreled a lot. If this Grand Mistress knew that he sold her portrait to earn five thousand taels of silver, who knew what would happen?
"What is this? Yi, isn't this a portrait of the Grand Mistress? That's not right. How can this portrait be as beautiful as the Grand Mistress? Could it be when the Grand Mistress was underage? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the Grand Mistress was already so beautiful when she was young. "Lin Wanrong took the booklet and spoke nonsense.
Xiao Yuruo looked at him acting and thought, You are looking down on me too much. Your painting technique is unique, how many people can imitate it? You just had to tear off your disguise, and you're still so dishonest.
She smiled and said, "I don't know which family this thief is from, but he learned other people's painting technique and made this booklet to slander me. If I find out, I won't forgive this person."
"That's right, that's right. We can't easily forgive him." Lin Wanrong said. Both of them had ulterior motives. Every word they said was full of knowledge, but they pretended to be ignorant. The atmosphere was very strange.
The Grand Mistress smiled and said, "I heard that this booklet sold for ten taels of silver. He actually sold it for ten taels of silver each. Since he took it from me, I'll charge him eight taels of silver for each book. That's not too much, right? Don't let me find him, or else I'll find this little thief and get my money back. "
Oh my god, this young lady even sent someone to investigate. It seemed like she had planned this long ago. He was obviously scolding the locust while pointing at the mulberry. Damn it, I can't even admit it. Lin Wanrong put on a fake smile and said, "Even if the Grand Mistress has a lot of money, it won't be any less than a few taels. How could she care about it? What's more, once the underwear and perfume businesses open, won't we be able to recoup our losses? "
What he meant was, "Don't hold on to this matter. I'll help you with the underwear business and perfume business. Your gains will be much greater than this booklet."
The Grand Mistress pursed her lips and smiled. She had been fighting with this evil man for many days, but today was the first time she had won like this. Her heart was naturally carefree. Seeing that Lin San's expression wasn't looking good, she became even happier. Two red clouds appeared on her face. She looked at him with great interest and said, "Lin San, to be honest, this booklet is really unique. I've never seen it before. I really want to meet this little thief with so many ideas. "
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and said, "There will be such a day. Who knows, he might also want to meet you. "
The Grand Mistress couldn't hold it in anymore and giggled. Her body actually bent over from laughing. Her heart was very carefree. She snorted and said, "Who told you, this evil man, to bully me again and again, making me lose my sense of propriety. I'm not someone to be trifled with."
She didn't know why, but she hated this Lin San more and more. Sometimes, she would gnash her teeth at him even in her dreams. Only by bickering with him every day could she relax. It was really strange.
Seeing this Lin San's expression, Xiao Yuruo's mouth hooked up into a smile. She opened a small bag and took out a shirt from it. She gave it to him and said, "This is for you."
"What is this?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously. He took a closer look. It was the shirt that he had asked Xiao Yuruo to wash on the day she visited the thatched cottage three times. Later, it was taken away by the Grand Mistress. He didn't expect that she would still remember this matter.
"Thanks." Lin Wanrong said with a chuckle. He took a look at the shirt in his hand and frowned. He said, "Grand Mistress, the old maid in your room is a bit lazy."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuruo asked curiously.
"Look, there are several places on this shirt that haven't been washed clean. If this isn't laziness, then what is?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Xiao Yuruo took a look. Sure enough, there were several dirty places that hadn't been washed clean. Her face was a bit hot. She angrily glared at him and said, "If you want to wash it, then wash it. Why do you have so many requirements? I promised to wash this shirt and return it to you. I've done it. I didn't break my promise. "
Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said, "Grand Mistress is really trustworthy. I really admire you. So, I'll just wear it. Anyway, it's going to get dirty. One or two more pieces won't make a difference. "
"Crash!" The Grand Mistress angrily threw the booklet in her hand at him. Lin Wanrong smiled and dodged it. He then pushed open the door and went out.
The Grand Mistress was stunned for a while. Then, she picked up the booklet and gently wiped off the dust on it. She looked at the familiar face on the booklet and snorted softly. She couldn't help but smile. She seemed to be annoyed and angry at the same time. Even she herself didn't understand her current state of mind.
In the next few days, Lin Wanrong was as busy as a mule. The perfume workshop added two more production lines, specializing in jasmine perfume and orchid perfume. He had to adjust them one by one before they could be used.
The Food for Immortals had been open for a few days. Its business was full, but there was a huge shortage of manpower. The perfume business had the help of the Xiao Family, but the restaurant business was his own child. Seeing Qiaoqiao busy every day until late at night, Lin Wanrong's heart ached. He couldn't bring himself to mention it.
Whenever he was free, he would go to Qiaoqiao's place to help. He didn't even have the time to chat with Xiao Qingxuan. Xiao Qingxuan waited for him every day, but he didn't return. Other than sighing in her heart, she didn't say anything else. On the other hand, Qin Xian 'er asked him out many times, but he still couldn't find the time.
Lin Wanrong thought about it. Special banquets, wild game banquets, fish banquets, all of which fundamentally differentiated the customers of the Food for Immortals. He also brought out all the promotional methods from his previous life, such as limited time purchases, 50% off, VIP cards, platinum VIP cards, and so on. The endless promotional policies that appeared every two or three days made people dizzy. The little song "Xi Xiang" was criticized by many, but it was loved by many. Xiao Olian and Xiao Qingxuan sang for a few more days, raising the restaurant's quality by quite a bit. In addition to the fact that no one has been able to match the Four Millennia Absolutes to this day, in a short period of time, the fame and prestige of 'Food is Immortal' was unrivaled. The daily flow of silver actually exceeded more than a thousand taels, and the daily net profit was around four to five hundred taels. He had become a real gold doll.
People fear fame as pigs fear being fat. Lin Wanrong understood this principle very well. Food for Immortals was too famous now, and it was inevitable that people would be jealous of it. With Lomin's words on it, and Hong Xing's secret protection, it could be said that it could be said that it could eat both sides. Normal people wouldn't dare to cause trouble, but it was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a stab in the dark. Moreover, there was the Black Dragon Society that was ready to make trouble. Lin Wanrong reminded Dong Qingshan and Luoyuan. They must not let their guard down.
Dong saw that the silver was increasing day by day, so he was anxious to return the remaining silver that Boss Wang owed in advance. Lin Wanrong didn't express his opinion. He only asked Dong Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think about this matter?"
Now that the business was getting bigger and bigger, and the perfume business was about to start again, Lin Wanrong couldn't sit here every day. Qiaoqiao was smart and quick-witted. Although she was gentle and considerate in front of him, she was a smart and capable girl outside. Lin Wanrong wholeheartedly wanted to nurture Qiaoqiao and make her a more outstanding woman than Xiao Yuruo.
Qiaoqiao thought for a while and said, "Father, I don't agree to return the silver first."
She saw her brother looking at her with a smile and an encouraging look. Qiaoqiao was even more determined in her heart. She continued, "Although we have some cash on hand, we have a lot of cash in circulation, so part of it needs to be used for capital costs. On the other hand, we can't be complacent just because our business is doing well. Now that the Food for Immortals has some reputation in Jinling City, I think we can use this reputation to prepare another branch."
Lin Wanrong was happy in his heart. This girl really had the appearance of a strong woman. He nodded and said with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, continue. Uncle Dong, let's listen to Qiaoqiao's opinion first. It won't be too late to decide. "
Qiaoqiao smiled at Lin Wanrong, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She said, "Now that our reputation in the city is very good, and with the Governor's words, if we prepare another branch, the location and price will be reasonable. The cash we have will also come in handy. If we return the silver to Boss Wang, not only will he lose interest, but we will also lose the opportunity to develop. "
This girl was really capable. Lin Wanrong praised in his heart. In his previous life, the real estate developers all used loans to accumulate capital. He didn't expect Qiaoqiao to also think of this level. Lin Wanrong also wanted to test her, so he deliberately frowned and said, "Qiaoqiao, what you said makes sense. But have you ever thought that we have just established a foothold, and if we want to expand immediately, isn't it a little too hasty? "
Qiaoqiao saw her big brother frown and panicked. She carefully thought about her words, and indeed, she was suspected of expanding too quickly. She blushed and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, this is Qiaoqiao's lack of consideration."
Lin Wanrong knew that Qiaoqiao was panicking because she cared too much about him. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, I asked you on purpose just now. You must believe in yourself. I have never seen a girl as smart as you. "
Qiaoqiao blushed, but her heart was sweet. She looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and her deep affection went without saying.
"Your expansion plan is actually feasible. We can first choose the location and negotiate the price. If we can't agree on the price, we can wait. We have time to waste. Once we agree on the price, we can also buy it and use it as a reserve. In other words, hoarding land. Even if we don't build a restaurant, we can still do other business. At the very least, we can sell the land and earn the price difference. This is better than letting the money rot in our hands. "
This was the so-called hoarding land and speculating. Although there was no such concept in this era, once a good place was chosen, there was no way to lose money. The Food for Immortals in front of them was a good example. Compared to the original restaurant, the value of the Food for Immortals had increased by at least 40%.
Dong Qiaoqiao's beautiful eyes lit up. She was a little regretful just now, but now that she heard her big brother supporting her, and many points that she didn't think of, her heart was filled with joy. She felt that this big brother of hers had a unique vision and knew everything. This made her even more infatuated with him.
"Qiaoqiao, don't underestimate yourself, and don't doubt your own ability. You can do whatever you want to do. Big Brother will always support you. "
"Big Brother — —" Qiaoqiao was emotional. She held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly. If her father wasn't beside her, she would have jumped into her big brother's arms.
Cough, cough. Dong pretended to cough twice to interrupt the two of them. Seeing that his daughter had completely become someone else's housekeeper, Dong sighed and said, "A grown girl can't be kept at home. I won't interfere. But Xiao Lin, when are you going to settle the matter between you and Qiaoqiao? This girl is stubborn. If you don't mention it, she will never say it herself. "
"Father — —" Dong Qiaoqiao called out. Her cheeks were red. She lowered her head and said softly, "Big Brother's matter isn't finished yet. Qiaoqiao isn't in a hurry."
Matter isn't finished yet? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. She had promised Uncle Wei that she would go to the Xiao Family with the mentality of playing around. Who would have thought that he would really be right? She was involved in the Xiao Family and wanted to help the Xiao Family in their business. Could it be that it was really the will of the heavens? As an educated modern man, he didn't want to believe in God's will. But what else could explain the matter in front of him other than God's will?
"Big Brother, Big Brother, what's wrong?" Qiaoqiao anxiously pulled his arm and said. Lin Wanrong came back to his senses and saw that Dong had already left. Only Qiaoqiao was leaning in front of him. She said with tears in her eyes, "Big Brother, is there something that makes you unhappy? You must tell Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao doesn't want to see you sad."
"You silly girl." Lin Wanrong gently pinched her little nose and said, "As long as you are with Big Brother every day, there is nothing that makes Big Brother sad."
Qiaoqiao softly answered with tears in her eyes and shyly buried her head in his arms.
Although he really wanted to eat Qiaoqiao, this cute little girl, but looking at her busy and tired figure, Lin Wanrong felt a little despicable. Qiaoqiao, that girl, was already satisfied just by leaning in his arms for a while every day. How could he bear to do it? His face was not thick enough. He had to continue cultivating.
It was already quite late when he returned to the Xiao Family. In the garden, he met a maid in the guest room and said, "Third Brother, you are back. Miss Qin Xian 'er sent several invitations a day. It seems that she is looking for you urgently. She also said that she must give you these invitations as soon as you are back. "
Only then did Lin Wanrong remember that he heard from Qiaoqiao at the Food for Immortals that Qin Xian 'er also sent people to look for him several times, but they couldn't find him. This lass, what's the matter that's so urgent?
Before Lin Wanrong could read the invitations, he saw a delicate figure standing in the middle of the garden. Her haggard face looked so pale under the moonlight.
"Second Miss?" Lin Wanrong was shocked.
