Qian Duoduo was really a clean stream among the rich second generation.
He used to be.
In terms of financial resources, there were few families in the entire Feng State that could compete with the Qian family.
In terms of background, the Qian family was backed by the third prince, Zhao Yi. Which poor scholar could afford to offend him?
Such a person had always suffered from the cold eyes and ridicule of others, but he just wanted to buy a poem to show off. How did the Qian God of Fortune teach his son?
If it was someone else, they would have lost a few lives.
When he encountered difficulties in the Qi Kingdom, it was because of Qian Duoduo that he survived two financial crises. Just because Qian Duoduo called him "brother", he would definitely help him!
In order to prevent him from walking down the wrong path, he had said those words after careful consideration.
Qian Duoduo obviously had not experienced the ugly baptism of the secular world. After Li Yi's words, he fell into deep thought.
"I understand."
When Li Yi was about to finish his cup of tea, Qian Duoduo suddenly stood up with a look of enlightenment on his face.
Li Yi glanced at him and asked, "What do you understand?"
"Spend the least amount of money and do the most things. You can't just think about throwing money. You have to do things cleverly." Qian Duoduo's face showed a thoughtful expression. "Every penny should be spent just right. That's what my father taught me."
Li Yi nodded. Qian Duoduo understood the essence of those words so quickly. The boy was worth teaching.
"So …" Qian Duoduo turned to look at him and asked, "When are you going to pay me back?"
This was a bit like burning the bridge after crossing the river. Just now, he had taught him so many life philosophies and guided him in the right direction. He hadn't even mentioned taking the money, but he was showing off first?
…
"This is different."
Qian Duoduo looked at him and said seriously, "Thank you for your advice just now. I have benefited a lot. How much is that worth? Brother, name a price and I will give it to you immediately."
He changed his tone and said, "But brother, you owe me a penny. You have to pay me back."
Seeing his serious look, Li Yi began to admire the God of Wealth's upbringing.
To be able to raise such a son, it was enough to show that the God of Wealth could climb to such a position in a short time, not entirely because of Zhao Yi.
Li Yi had a look of appreciation on his face. He nodded and said, "The return event is over. I don't have any money."
…
…
The nature of today's banquet could be considered as half a family banquet for the Lin family.
The members of the Lin family were only a small part of them. Most of them were the shopkeepers and managers of the shops under their name. Although the Lin family was not considered a big merchant, there were still some smaller merchants that depended on them, including the Bai family, the Ma family, and the Xu family. Due to the close business relationship between the four families, they would often attend such occasions.
At this time, most of the Lin family members had gone inside. Most of the people outside were outsiders.
Those small merchants and the shopkeepers and managers of the Lin family were chatting with each other. They looked in a certain direction from time to time, and their faces were full of doubt and surprise.
There were many rich families in Feng State City. There were also a few families that had dozens or even hundreds of years of history, which the Qian family could not compare with. However, those high and mighty families had nothing to do with them. The Qian family, whose businesses were all over Feng State, was closely related to them. If the God of Wealth was dissatisfied with them, he only needed to express a little bit, and these small businesses would face the danger of collapse.
The God of Wealth would not come to the Lin family for no reason and put on such an attitude. The Lin family was probably lucky this time. They had climbed up this high branch. Wouldn't they be rolling in money in the future?
The shopkeepers and managers of the Lin family were naturally delighted. The bigger the Lin family's business was, the higher their status would be, and the greater the benefits they would get.
Those small merchants were naturally excited. Although they could not directly connect with the Qian family, it was not bad to be indirect. The Lin family was eating meat with the Qian family, so there should be some soup for them to drink, right?
The Bai family, the Ma family, and the Xu family did not know what was wrong with them. Originally, with their relationship, they would definitely benefit the most this time. However, they chose to fall out with the Lin family at this time. It would be difficult for them to get on the same boat this time.
Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xu were still standing at the door. They did not know whether to leave or stay.
They had just fallen out with the Lin family, so it was not appropriate for them to stay here. It was too embarrassing.
However, they could not let go of their worries. The Lin family was obviously not the same as before. If they really joined forces with the Qian family to do something to them, how could they live in the future?
Bai Yu stood beside the two of them and looked in the direction that Qian God of Fortune had just gone. Then, she looked at the figure who was talking to Young Master Qian on the other side. Her expression was a little uncertain.
After a long time, there was finally some movement in the matter that everyone was concerned about. Surrounded by the crowd, Qian God of Fortune walked out from inside and said with a smile, "You're too polite. It's settled then. The manager will discuss the specific cooperation matters with you when the time comes."
The people present were not willing to let go of the opportunity to curry favor with Fengzhou God of Fortune. They all stood up and rushed over.
This time, Shopkeeper Ma and the other two were isolated. The three of them stood at the door, which was particularly conspicuous.
He didn't want to argue with him over the matter of a copper coin. Seeing Lin Wanru walk over, Li Yi waved his hand at her and said, "Even though that's the case, it depends on my mood. That copper coin doesn't belong to you. If I want to give it to you, I'll give it to you. If I don't, you can't take it."
"Young Master Qian."
Qian Duoduo still wanted to say something, but the woman behind him had already walked over.
"Miss Lin." Qian Duoduo returned the greeting and turned back to continue carrying out his justice.
Li Yi looked at Lin Wanru and then looked at Qian Duoduo. He signaled in the direction of the door with his eyes.
Qian Duoduo was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
How could he be so insensible? Li Yi looked at him again and said, "It means that you can go."
Qian Duoduo looked back again and finally realized something. He turned around and walked in the direction of the door.
After taking two steps, he turned back and reminded, "One coin."
After sitting down, Lin Wanru looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Young Master Qian, do you know him?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "I've seen him twice."
Looking at the situation just now, it did not seem like they had only met twice. Lin Wanru looked back but did not ask again.
There were too many things about him that she could not understand.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Have you negotiated with the Qian family?"
Lin Wanru nodded and said, "I don't know why the Qian family wants to cooperate with us, but according to the way they just said, it will only be good for the Lin family."
Seeing that there was still a trace of worry between her eyebrows, Li Yi asked, "What are you worried about?"
"I always feel that … these days, it has been a bit too smooth." Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "It's like … it's like someone is helping us. From the foreign merchants to the Ma family and the Xu family's source of goods, and today, the God of Fortune came to visit us. Everything is too smooth."
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Isn't it too smooth?"
"It's like being blessed by the gods." Lin Wanru smiled and said, "In the past, I didn't feel anything when I stumbled along the way, but now … I feel a little uneasy."
"Blessed by the gods …" Li Yi was stunned and said with some embarrassment, "You flatter me, you flatter me …"
"What?" Lin Wanru looked up at him with some doubt in her eyes.
"Nothing …" Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand.
Lin Wanru nodded and looked at him and said, "Actually, I have something to tell you today. It was decided yesterday, so I didn't have time to tell you …"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Just in time, I also have something to tell you."
"Then you first …"
"You first …"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled at the same time.
"I'm leaving."
"I want you to be the shopkeeper of the new shop …"
Lin Wanru paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you're leaving, you should go back first. Miss Liu really does need someone to take care of her. This matter, when I go back later, I'll talk to you …"
Li Yi looked at her and said, "I'm going back to the Jing Kingdom."
Lin Wanru's voice stopped abruptly. She looked up at him with an uncertain expression and said softly, "What did you just say … say?"
