Lin Wanjie took out a box, placed it gently on the table, and opened it in front of Mr. Liu.
A box of golden and heavy gold was neatly arranged in a row, which shocked both Liu Xiwen and the eldest lady.
"This is the deposit paid by the Xiao family. Mr. Liu only needs to print it as required."
"As expected of the richest businessman in Hangzhou, he is generous in his dealings." Liu Xiwen quickly regained his composure. After all, he had made some connections with various big shots. This was just a small occasion for Mr. Liu.
Liu Xiwen accepted the money and added: "Go back and tell Mrs. Xiao and thank her for her trust. Xizi Publishing House and the Xiao family will definitely have a happy cooperation."
Lin Wanjie knocked on the table and said calmly: "Mr. Liu, you don't understand what I mean."
"Um?"
"This business is not with the Xiao family, but with me."
"With you?"
Only then did Liu Xiwen realize that he was a little surprised. A servant came to discuss business with him? And he represents himself, not the Xiao family?
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing.
Lin Wanjie, however, continued calmly: "The manuscripts are all mine and have nothing to do with the Xiao family. If the Xiao family has any business that requires books in the future, I will definitely introduce it to Mr. Liu."
"Lin Da, you..." Xiao Yuchan was a little unhappy, pulling on the corner of Lin Wanjie's clothes and staring at him.
The eldest lady felt that Lin Wanjie's behavior was to take on private work behind the girl's back, which was a taboo in the family.
However, the eldest lady thought of another thing.
Lin Da's birthday will be in less than a month. After turning twenty-six, Lin Da can choose to leave the Xiao family. Now that he is starting to talk about business, is he leaving?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchan's expression immediately darkened. After all, everyone has their own choice.
Even if Lin Da wanted to leave, she couldn't find any reason to stop him.
At this time, Lu Waner was hiding outside and secretly looking at the living room. She saw that Lin Da was wearing a decent brocade dress today. It was obviously specially customized. It seemed to fit very well and was very decent. It was completely different from the clothes of servants she had seen before.
Although he is still the same big guy, he is talking in front of Mr. Liu without showing any timidity at all, and he is completely like a rich man.
This look, let alone, is quite handsome.
Lu Waner liked it inexplicably and laughed out loud.
"Does Mrs. Xiao know about this?" Liu Xiwen asked.
"What does this have to do with Mrs. Xiao? Don't you make money as a businessman?" Lin Wanjie asked back.
Liu Xiwen touched the brocade box in his hand, but this bit of gold was not in his eyes at all.
What he values is the feeling Lin Wanjie brings to him.
A seemingly simple servant has an air of not being simple. How can an ordinary servant have the courage to be on an equal footing with the master of a wealthy family?
I guess a few words will make you tremble with fear.
But Lin Da was full of style, not inferior to others in the slightest, and there was even a bit of innate pride between his features.
Such a character is not simple, but his book is too simple.
What fight breaks the sky?
What thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi...
There is no beauty of words at all.
However, since I have a deposit anyway and I won’t let Xizi Publishing House pay for it, let’s do it.
"Very good. Brother Lin is quite sincere. Xizi Publishing House will use this money to test the waters first. If there is really a market, we can discuss long-term cooperation."
"Looking forward to good news from Mr. Liu."
Lin Wanjie stood up and prepared to leave.
Things progressed so fast that Xiao Yuchan didn't even finish a sip of tea.
Seeing Lin Wanjie getting up, he quickly stood up: "Hey, hey, let's go? Are you leaving so soon? Wait for me."
Xiao Yuchan turned around, bowed politely to Master Liu, and then chased after him.
Lin Wanjie walked out of the living room and happened to see Lu Wan'er.
But Lin Wanjie pretended not to see it and passed her by.
When they arrived at the West Lake, Xiao Yuchan trotted up to Lin Wanjie and grabbed his arm.
"Wait!" Xiao Yuchan was very serious.
"how?"
"You have to explain it to me clearly."
"Explain what?"
"Are you planning to leave the Xiao family? Otherwise, how could you use your own name to negotiate business with Xizi Publishing House?"
"Um."
Lin Wanjie did not hide it. This was his decision after two months of thinking.
Leaving the Xiao family does not mean cutting off contact with the Xiao family. He has no plans to leave Hangzhou. He can help the Xiao family as long as they need it.
And as a time traveler, how can I live under someone else's roof my entire life?
It was only a matter of time before he left the Xiao family and established his own business.
Since it is a matter of time, there is no need to delay it.
No one paid attention to them by the West Lake. Xiao Yuchan suddenly threw herself into Lin Wanjie's arms and said in a tearful voice: "I don't want you to leave, so why don't you just stay in the Xiao family? Mother is so good to you and has always valued you. You, why do you want to leave?"
"alright!"
Lin Wanjie's tone contained the care of the elders for the younger ones. When he looked at the eldest lady, he felt an indescribable feeling of closeness, without the slightest hint of affection between men and women.
The big hand gently pressed the eldest lady's head and stroked it tenderly.
"Leaving the Xiao family does not mean leaving the Xiao family. In the future, I will settle down in Hangzhou and buy a new house. If the eldest lady needs company or encounters something, you can come to me."
"Really?" Xiao Yuchan sniffed, holding back the sourness, and looked up at Lin Wanjie.
"Really. I'm still planning to choose a house. If the eldest lady doesn't believe me, she can be my adviser."
"Then...then your future house should be next to the Xiao family."
Lin Wanjie thought for a while and said seriously: "It's all right."
"Great, then hurry up and secure the house today."
Xiao Yuchan jumped for joy.
It was said that he wanted to buy a new house, and the reason was naturally that half a year had passed.
The chief bodyguard of the Zhennan Bodyguard Bureau had already earned enough ransom money and was willing to pay double the price to redeem the house.
People in ancient times were very homesick, and if they were in need, Lin Wanjie would certainly not take advantage of them.
Today, the head of the Zhennan Escort Bureau returned to Hangzhou to deal with matters at the house.
Half an hour later, Lin Wanjie and Xiao Yuchan arrived at the Zhennan Escort Bureau again.
After the housekeeper went in to report, Xu Xiaoqi rushed out immediately.
"Brother Lin!"
Xu Xiaoqi has been living in the Zhennan Escort Bureau for the past two months and has been living a good life. He looks like an ordinary innocent boy. No one knows that he has been to Qingshan Village and worked as a bandit, with human lives on his hands.
After Xu Xiaoqi, Chen Xiaoman came out wearing a white-on-red belt with a high ponytail. After not seeing each other for a few months, Xiao Nizi seemed to have grown a lot taller.
"Big man, are you here?"
"No matter how big or small you are, please call me Brother Lin."
The chief escort also came to greet him personally and scolded him from behind.
Lin Wanjie didn't care and raised his hands to the group of people: "Everyone, are you okay?"
"Thanks to the blessing of the late festival, everything has gone well for the Zhennan Escort Agency in the past six months."
