His eyes were obviously closed, but he reached out and covered her hand.
"Are you tired?"
Lin Mengya raised her body slightly and touched the little thing's hands and feet.
Fortunately, the temperature had dropped.
The poison in his body was almost gone, but Lin Mengya felt helpless because it was the first time she encountered a situation where the ingredients of the poison were unknown.
What was going on with this little thing?
"It's okay, is he okay?"
Murong Xi's arms were sore after holding the child for nearly half a night.
Lin Mengya nodded and motioned for him to put the child down.
What was surprising was that the little thing was actually a little reluctant to part with it.
His brows were tightly furrowed in his sleep. In the end, it was only after she gently comforted him that his brows relaxed.
"Take off your coat and come up to sleep for a while."
For some reason, the ordinary conversation between husband and wife made Lin Mengya feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, the little thing covered for her, so Long Tianhao didn't notice her abnormality.
She blew out the candle and heard footsteps outside.
Shang'er and Baisu, who were guarding outside, had gone back to their rooms to sleep.
Long Tianhao also lay down in the quilt and held her with his long hands out of habit. But this time, there was a little thing between them.
Lin Mengya always felt inexplicably at ease when he was around.
But she didn't feel sleepy. There were too many things on her mind, and she didn't know where to start.
"Say what you want to say. You don't have to be like this between us."
She didn't expect to be discovered by him.
Lin Mengya sighed softly and turned to the other side of the bed.
"You told me before that you have a fiancée, is it true?"
She felt the man's arm stiffen, and then he hugged her even tighter.
"You don't have to worry about it, trust me."
Long Tianhao's reply made Lin Mengya suffer from insomnia even though it was not a direct answer.
Knowing that he was a sensitive person, Lin Mengya closed her eyes and hid her consciousness in the Shen Nung system.
Although her body was resting, her mind was very awake.
She searched the memory bank for the bits and pieces about her and Long Tianhao.
That night, she felt like she had watched a movie.
But she was the heroine in the movie.
In the early morning, she sensed that Long Tianhao had left, but she did not exit the system.
Instead, he waited until his aura dissipated in the air before he opened his eyes.
After a long while, she sighed faintly.
After all, she knew herself best. Even though she could not let go of her unforgettable feelings for Long Tianhao, she could not accept sharing a husband with another woman.
Since Long Tianhao had asked her to trust him, she had no choice but to do so.
Rubbing the corners of her eyes, she forced back the tears in her eyes.
"Woo … woo woo …"
What was that sound? She looked at the voice in her arms.
It was actually from the little thing!
He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, whimpering softly.
This was the first time the child had made such a sound since she brought him back.
He quickly checked the child and found that everything was normal.
Soon, the little thing woke up.
Then, he looked at her aggrievedly and rubbed his belly.
"Are you hungry?"
Lin Mengya asked tentatively, and the little thing immediately nodded.
Only then did he feel relieved. This kid …
She quickly asked someone to cook some soft meat porridge for him. The little thing ate two full bowls, then shook his head and refused to have another bowl.
He jumped off the chair and hugged Lin Mengya's thigh.
She gently wiped the child's mouth, and the little thing smiled at her.
She did not know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the skin on the child's face seemed to be a little lighter.
She used a handkerchief to wipe it a little harder, but still, nothing came off.
Could it be that she was thinking too much?
After all, the little thing had just been detoxified, and his body was still very weak.
After falling twice, Lin Mengya could not go out for the time being.
But she had to do something.
Over the past few days, Gong Si had officially taken over the family's affairs. Under his methodical command, everything was quietly carried out.
In the study, Lin Mengya sat on a pile of soft cushions, but she could not help but bear the bursts of pain.
She had to be there, because on this day, all the carefully selected shopkeepers, who were going to be sent to various places to reorganize the inn's business, were gathered in Dragon City.
And as the highest decision maker in the Gong family, she had to be there.
Although everything had been arranged by Gong Si.
After a brief introduction of the situation, Gong Si gave the right to speak to her.
After a moment of silence, Lin Mengya looked at the twenty people in front of her with gentle eyes and said.
"Today, I have invited all of you here because I have a very important thing to announce."
The shopkeepers looked at each other and felt a little uneasy. After all, no one had mentioned it to them before.
Lin Mengya saw the uneasiness in everyone's eyes, and she could not help but smile.
"Don't be nervous, it is actually a good thing for all of you. You may know that the Gong family's inn is a time-honored brand in Wei Country. Unfortunately, it was not managed well in the past few years, so it was temporarily closed. All of you are the best in the industry, so I am very relieved to leave the inn's business to you. "
After giving them some reassurance, the shopkeepers more or less understood what she meant.
"Since Miss Lin has said so, we will definitely work together to make the inn prosperous again."
These people were all veterans in the business, so they naturally knew what to say.
Lin Mengya nodded and continued.
"To be honest, I am indeed not as good as you when it comes to doing business. So today, I will not show my slight skill in front of an expert. I believe that before you came, you all know the commission that the Gong family will give. I wonder if you are satisfied with it. "
These people were gathered by Gong Si and Gong Bin with great difficulty. Many of them used to be rich businessmen, but now they were in dire straits.
Lin Mengya only had two principles when it came to choosing people. First, they must be honest. If there were people who were opportunistic and shoddy, she would definitely not hire them.
The Gong family was a long-term business, so they could not maintain their customers by doing this.
Second, they must hire people who, due to external reasons, failed or could not expand their business.
Such people had foresight and ability, but they lacked strength and means.
And this was exactly what the Gong family could offer them.
Almost all of these people had been invited by the Gong Family when they were at their lowest point in life, and they had been treated with great respect and treatment.
Therefore, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were very loyal to the Gong family on the surface.
And what Lin Mengya wanted to do next was to tie all their interests with the Gong family.
In this way, she could ensure that they would not go back on their word and turn to others.
"The Gong family is so generous, which is also beyond our expectation. Rest assured, Miss Lin, we have all been in business, so we will not ask for an exorbitant price. "
Some of them looked a little hesitant, probably because they were afraid that the Gong family would go back on their word.
Lin Mengya knew that the price she offered was indeed a little high, so it was no wonder that they had doubts.
"You've misunderstood me. What I'm saying is, with this amount of money, how can I hire capable people like you? So I have discussed with my brother, and if you don't mind, we would like to share the profits with you equally. Of course, I am talking about the net profit, which may not be much in the first and second year, so the commission to you can be used to supplement your living expenses. Once the amount of dividends exceeds the commission, you can choose whether to take the dividends or continue to take the commission. "
These people were a little surprised by her words.
Usually, the shopkeepers would get dividends, but it was rare for them to share the profits with their masters.
They were all cautious people, so for a moment, no one answered.
"You don't have to rush to answer. I have a contract here, on which the Gong family and I have written clearly. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Fourth Young Master. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you any longer. "
These people were also stunned, and each of them held a contract and left the Gong family in a daze.
Seeing that they had left, Lin Mengya was immediately helped back to her room by Baisu and Yong 'er.
After everything was settled, Gong Si knocked on her door.
"Little sister, I think we should reconsider the matter of splitting the profits with them equally, right?"
In fact, he knew about this beforehand, but he only knew that the shopkeepers would be given a high bonus.
"Sit down, don't worry, listen to me first."
Gong Si sat on the chair that Yong 'er had brought over, and Lin Mengya also told him her reasons.
"Fourth Elder Brother, do you think that Eldest Brother and I are stupid?"
Gong Si smiled faintly and shook his head.
Their eldest brother had a nickname, 'Silly and Clever'. Although he looked simple and honest, he hid everything in his heart.
Especially after his sister came back, Eldest Brother seemed to have a backbone, and he could do something amazing every time.
At the end of the day, when did Gong Ya come up with something new without his big brother's support?
It seemed that he was a frog at the bottom of a well.
"That's true, since we are not stupid, why do we do this? Fourth Elder Brother, in fact, Eldest Brother and I both know that although the inn can be opened, it is not as profitable as it used to be because it has been closed for the past few years. If we want to operate all the inns, we need to invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Even if our family is rich, these are still very depressing things. Whether it's you or Big Brother, both of you have a wider space for development. How can you let these things hinder your footsteps? "
Gong Si looked at his sister and knew that what she said was right.
