Luo Ning smiled gently and said, "Brother Lin, you don't have to be so courteous. Qiaoqiao is my sister after all. Besides, I have other matters to attend to today. That's why I came over. "
Lin Wanrong nodded. That's right. He wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Miss Luo came especially for him. Although he claimed to be the most handsome man in Jinling, he knew that his charm wouldn't work on Luo Ning. Luo Ning was cheerful and generous. She treated people sincerely. A woman like her would have many friends. However, it would be extremely difficult for her to fall in love with a man.
Lin Wanrong didn't care what her motive was. In any case, she took care of Qiaoqiao, so he should be grateful to her. He nodded and said, "Miss Luo, how about this. Later, you can tell us what happened. I will represent my Qiaoqiao to express my stance first. If we can help, we will definitely help."
Qiaoqiao was embarrassed and happy at the same time. She looked at Lin Wanrong but didn't say anything to object.
Lin Wanrong brought the bowl of medicine to Qiaoqiao's mouth and said, "Qiaoqiao, be good. Drink this medicine while it's hot. Big Brother will buy you some sweets."
Luo Ning held back her laughter. She thought to herself, 'His way of coaxing people is really strange.'
Qiaoqiao felt like she had eaten honey. However, when she smelled the medicine, it was extremely bitter. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Bitter …"
Lin Wanrong said casually, "Why don't Big Brother try a mouthful and then send it to your mouth?"
Luo Ning felt uncomfortable listening from behind. She thought to herself, 'This person is really not ordinary shameless. He didn't even blink when he said such words to take advantage of me.' Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, felt her whole body go soft. Under the supervision of her big brother, she raised her beautiful neck and drank the medicine in one gulp.
Seeing that Qiaoqiao's expression had recovered a lot, and a smile was hanging on the corner of her mouth, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh of relief. He thought, "It doesn't matter that I was caught, but I've implicated my Yushuang and Qiaoqiao. It's a great sin. I can't do such a stupid thing again." Now that he had divine skills and a pistol, it would not be easy for him to be captured again.
Qiaoqiao still looked a little tired. After taking the medicine, she fell asleep peacefully under Lin Wanrong's gaze.
Lin Wanrong gestured to Luo Ning, and Luo Ning followed him out of the room. Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "Miss Luo, if there's anything you need our help with, just say it."
As he spoke, he moved and opened the window in the room. The cold wind from Xuanwu Lake blew, and his heart felt a little better. This room was originally decorated luxuriously and elegantly. Looking from afar, the lake was glistening under the flickering lights. It was exceptionally gorgeous. It actually made him feel like he was walking on air.
Luo Ning, on the other hand, had the same feeling as him. Looking at the scenery of the lake outside the window, she couldn't help but smile, "Big Brother Lin, you really have a good eye for picking this place."
Lin Wanrong nodded, "It's not that I have a good eye, but I understand the psychology of a person."
"Oh, what does Big Brother Lin mean?" Luo Ning asked curiously.
"From a psychological point of view, everyone wants to be high and mighty, overlooking the masses. This kind of feeling can give people a greater sense of achievement. Just like the two of us standing here, everyone has to look up to us, so it feels good. "Lin Wanrong bragged about the mental theory.
Luo Ning thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Big Brother Lin, what you said is very reasonable. Since ancient times, kings, generals, and ministers have probably all had this kind of feeling. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "This has nothing to do with our topic today. Tell us what you need our help with first."
Luo Ning smiled, and thought to herself, 'This topic of mental theory was clearly brought up by you, and now it's unrelated to the topic. Your thinking leaps really can't be compared to ordinary people.'
"Actually, this time I came to find Qiaoqiao, because I have some difficult matters that I need her help with." Speaking of this matter, Luo Ning couldn't help but lower her head. It seemed that this matter was really difficult to talk about. Otherwise, with a generous person like her, she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Lin Wanrong thought to himself, 'What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that she's thinking of love and wants Qiaoqiao to introduce a boyfriend to her?'
He chuckled, "Miss Luo, if you have something to say, just say it. Luoyuan is my brother, and you are his sister. We are a family, so there's no need to be polite."
Luo Ning was silent for a long time, and then said, "This time I came to find Qiaoqiao, actually, there are two purposes, but to put it bluntly, they are all the same thing. I want to find her to raise some charity funds."
Raise charity funds? Lin Wanrong understood at once, 'Damn, what charity funds? To put it bluntly, it's sponsorship. I didn't expect her to have this kind of brain in this era. This Luo Ning is really the most talented woman in Jin Ling City, she can even come up with such an idea.' 'If this girl comes to do business, she must be like me, a big profiteer.'
"Oh, charity funds? What is charity funds? "Lin Wanrong pretended to be puzzled.
Since Luo Ning opened her mouth, she simply said it in one breath, "Charity funds is to collect some silver from the big families in the city, specifically for charity purposes. A few friends and I have organized a charity hall, specifically to help some orphans and widows. "
'Damn, isn't it just the Red Cross Society? This Luo Ning's idea is quite advanced, but she is the daughter of the governor of Jiangsu, and she is so beautiful. With a wave of her hand, won't people send gold and silver to her?' 'How can they raise charity funds like this?'
Luo Ning seemed to have seen through his doubts, she said in a serious tone, "Brother Lin, although my father is the governor of Jiangsu, he is an honest person, and he will not allow us to casually accept things from others. Although I am a woman, I also understand this principle. I will never accept money that is not righteous. "
Lin Wanrong smiled, he didn't expect this girl to have such a chastity character, this talented woman is quite interesting.
"In the past few years, we can still get some charity funds, but recently, we have looked for all the rich and powerful families, they have been sponsoring for a long time, and they have lost interest in these things, so it is getting more and more difficult to get charity funds." Luo Ning sighed and said.
Lin Wanrong thought in his heart, 'Of course, this is the first year you looked for them, because you are the governor's daughter, they have to take care of you. But no matter how many times you look for them, your father did not give them any benefits, naturally, they will not be so enthusiastic.' There are good people, but they do not do it like this.
Lin Wanrong is a big profiteer, naturally, he is not a good person. He thought for a moment and said, "How many children do you adopt? How old are they? "
Luo Ning nodded and said, "There are more than ten children, the oldest is eleven or twelve years old, the youngest is only three or four years old."
Lin Wanrong was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Luo, about this charity fund, I can pay —"
"Ah, really? Thank you so much. Brother Lin, I thank you on behalf of those children — "Luo Ning did not finish listening to him, but she thought that he had already agreed, she suddenly jumped in joy.
Lin Wanrong said with a bitter smile, "Miss Luo, you misunderstand, I do not want to pay money —"
Luo Ning let out an "ah", her face was full of disappointment. Lin Wanrong thought to himself, you little girl, do you think money is so easy to earn? This is Qiaoqiao's hard-earned money, how can I let you get it without putting in any effort?
"However, I can give you an idea." Lin Wanrong continued.
Luo Ning was not in a very good mood. She had gone to many places for this charity fund, but the results were the same, how could she not be disappointed?
Lin Wanrong sighed, he thought to himself, you Grand Mistress only want to do good things, but you did not think that the good things you do are taking advantage of others. How can it last?
"Let me give you an idea. Miss Luo, aren't you the most talented woman in Jinling? Your friends are also talented men and women, so your calligraphy and painting skills are naturally not bad. Why don't you collect your treasures, and regularly gather some wealthy families who like calligraphy and painting to hold some charity auctions? "Lin Wanrong said.
"Charity auction? What's an auction? "Luo Ning was surprised.
Lin Wanrong explained the concept of the auction to her. Luo Ning thought for a while, she thought to herself, this is indeed a good idea, not only will it increase the reputation of the talented men and women, but it will also increase the source of money, it is indeed very reasonable.
She nodded and said, "Brother Lin, I have never seen this auction, and I don't know what the result will be, but I can give it a try. However, will there really be people willing to spend a lot of money to buy our calligraphy and painting? "
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Of course, you are all talented men and women, the future masters of calligraphy and painting will be born from you, those who have foresight will definitely pay. In addition, you can also give them some benefits, for example, add some of the buyer's name to the calligraphy and painting, and then record their good deeds, put up a monument, this way, they will have a reputation, and they will also buy their favorite calligraphy and painting, it is the best of both worlds, why not? "
Luo Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will go back and try it out."
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead and try, I guarantee that you will be satisfied, if your calligraphy and painting sell too well, remember to leave a few pieces for me."
Luo Ning chuckled, but did not say anything.
Lin Wanrong said again, "How about this, since you are so caring, I will also do my best. However, you have to be careful about the matter of money, if you only give those children some money, you may be able to feed them now, but what about the future? You can't feed them for a lifetime, right? Give a man a fish, teach a man to fish, teach him to fish. Those children over ten years old that you adopted can be sent to this restaurant, we will be responsible for training them, let them learn to be chefs, waiters, and food every month. As for the monthly salary, because they are still apprentices, let's temporarily reduce it. Five silver coins every month, what do you think? "
Luo Ning said gratefully, "Brother Lin, you are really thoughtful. I only thought about how to feed them, but I didn't think that I should let them learn some skills to be independent. Thank you so much, Brother Lin."
Thank me? Hehe, Lin Wanrong found it funny, I am now employing child labor, in my previous world, I will be arrested and sent to prison, but in here, I am being thanked. He was a businessman, and he would never do a losing business. Anyway, now the restaurant was short of manpower, these little guys could not spend much money a month, with training, they will definitely become the backbone of the restaurant in the future, this is called talent reserve, long-term vision.
"Oh yeah, don't you have two things? This is the first one, it is considered settled, tell me about the second one. "Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ning lowered her head in embarrassment. Lin Wanrong looked at her posture and immediately understood. Well, this matter can't be avoided, they are here for the silver coins again.
"Brother Lin, our Jinling has a poetry competition every year, this year is already the tenth," Luo Ning said softly.
Poetry competition? F * ck, this thing is a bit interesting. However, this poetry competition has nothing to do with me. It's all you talented men and women who go up and make a scene. In the end, it turned into a group blind date. What does it have to do with me?
"Are you still short of silver coins?" What could make the usually cheerful and generous Luo Ning this difficult? It can only be about money.
Luo Ning lowered her head even more, and said embarrassedly, "I still lack a thousand silver coins."
Lin Wanrong jumped in fright. F * ck, so many? What kind of nonsense poetry competition is this to waste so much silver coins, damn, these young masters and young mistresses are burning money for fun. This Luo Ning must have seen that my restaurant makes a lot of money every day, so she specially came here to beg for alms. But this thousand silver coins can only be earned by the restaurant in two to three days, do you think it is so easy to take it out?
He shook his head helplessly, Kleinloh, you are quite an honest person, but your talented sister is a bit unkind. No matter what, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest. But she only looked for the soft persimmon to bully, does she think that Qiaoqiao doesn't know how to refuse? Damn, Qiaoqiao is my wife, she has to listen to everything I say.
While Lin Wanrong was thinking indignantly, he heard Luo Ning said, "Actually, I am also embarrassed to ask Qiaoqiao, but the time is tight, we have already looked for those rich families in Jin Ling city a few times before, it is very difficult to raise more silver coins."
A thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. In Jin Ling city, there were only a handful of rich families that could take out a thousand taels of silver to sponsor this bullshit poetry competition. They must have run into a snag somewhere else, and Luo Ning didn't want to rely on her dad's power, so she came to Qiao Qiao with no other choice.
"Isn't this poetry competition a membership-based competition? Why don't you look for them to collect silver coins, for example, the registration fee, and so on? "Lin Wanrong asked.
Luo Ning shook her head and said, "The purpose of this poetry competition is to find more talents, if they accept silver coins, it will be a bit unclear."
Lin Wanrong nodded, he had seen a lot of modeling competitions and talent shows in his previous life, which one of them didn't have some black money transactions, power transactions, etc. It was really rare for Luo Ning to be aware of this.
"Who do you invite for this poetry competition?" Lin Wanrong thought for a while and asked.
Luo Ning saw that his tone was a bit relaxed, so she quickly said, "This poetry competition is very famous, the people who come are all scholars from all over the Jiangsu province, and when the time comes, the Jiangsu Provincial Secretary of Education will also be there, it can be said that there are many scenes, it will be very lively."
The Provincial Secretary of Education was there, to those scholars, it was naturally like a flock of ducks. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Miss Luo, I will pay this one thousand silver coins, but I have a few conditions — —"
"Brother Lin, what conditions do you have, just say it." Luo Ning's heart that was originally a bit desperate immediately came back to life.
"My conditions are very simple." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "First, this poetry competition must be under the name of Food for Immortals, it will be called the Exclusive Sponsorship of Food for Immortals, Jinling Poetry Competition."
"This — —" Luo Ning hesitated for a while, she immediately thought of the key point, she thought, this is really a profiteer, he won't let go of any opportunity. But this kind of precedent has never happened before, she was in a bit of a dilemma.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Luo, this won't cause you any losses, and it will also benefit Food for Immortals, it's the best of both worlds, why not?"
Luo Ning hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree."
Lin Wanrong smiled faintly and said, "This is called a win-win situation, Miss Luo, there's no need to be so difficult. Other than that, I want all of your daily necessities, whether it's the four treasures of the study, brush, ink, paper, inkstone, official boats, lanterns, silk, toilet paper, all of them must have the logo of Food for Immortals printed on them. "
You want to squeeze my money, I want to advertise, let Food for Immortals be everywhere, live as long as the heavens, and earn back the money that I lost by ten times, a hundred times. Lin Wanrong thought fiercely.
Luo Ning was angry and annoyed. How can you raise conditions like this? Although the previous sponsors were also cunning, none of them were as thick-skinned as Lin Wanrong.
She sighed. This way, a very elegant poetry competition had been made full of the stench of money. She didn't know how this person in front of her could think of such harsh conditions.
Lin Wanrong didn't care about the stench of money. This is called taking what we need, business is king. F * ck, I'll let you f * cking geniuses play around, I like people who are cheap.
"Miss Luo, don't worry, to show our sincerity, Food for Immortals will specially provide some elegant gifts for this poetry competition," Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
"What gifts?" Luo Ning asked curiously.
"To all the geniuses and beauties who participate, Food for Immortals will give an oil paper umbrella for free," Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it'll have to be printed with your Food for Immortals logo," Luo Ning said angrily.
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. "We each take what we need, that's all."
Imagine a rainy day in Jinling, the streets were filled with oil paper umbrellas, and all of them had the words "Food for Immortals" printed on them. If Food for Immortals didn't want to be popular, it would be too difficult.
Luo Ning was completely convinced by this man in front of her. She used to think that he was quite knowledgeable and had a unique way of handling things. She didn't expect that this uniqueness would make her suffer so quickly.
She sighed and thought to herself, I don't know where he came up with these ideas. In this way, this poetry competition has become his exclusive advertising conference.
Luo Ning felt like a lamb entering a wolf's den. She wanted to cry but had no tears.
