Although Fang Shuijie's steward is not a high-ranking person, his position is very special. He is equivalent to the captain of Lin's hunting team. As long as he can reach the rank of chief steward and his level is high enough, he will be assigned to other positions at least at the hall leader level.
Therefore, seriously speaking, although their administrative level is not as good as that of ordinary deacons, they are responsible for more affairs, have greater rights, and have better prospects. To a certain extent, their status is much higher than that of deacons.
.....................
It was night, in a restaurant on Fangshui Street, Qinglifang, Linyu County.
Linyu County is much more prosperous than Ningyang County, and Fangshui Street has recently been established due to the establishment of the first batch of experimental areas. The flow of people has increased and it has become a lot more lively. In terms of consumption places such as restaurants, compared to What Lin Mo had seen in the past was indeed a bit more advanced.
In the afternoon, a group of people came to the Fangshui Street stronghold. The chief manager of the stronghold was Lin Mo's fourth uncle, Lin Yuanjun of Dafang.
After arriving at his residence and waiting for all the chores to be arranged, Lin Yuanjun booked a few tables at the restaurant in the evening, with the purpose of welcoming Lin Mo and the others, and taking them along to get to know each other.
"These three are my nephews, Jun Hao, Jun Yang, and Jun Mo. They will stay in Fangshui Street for a while. After all, they just came out of the clan. They are still young boys. What will they do in the future? Those who need to control the eyes should use the palms of the eyes."
Lin Yuanjun sat at the front seat and introduced Lin Mo and others one by one.
When Lin Mo and the others saw this, they also stood up knowingly, picked up the wine glasses, turned around to everyone on the table, and then raised their heads and drank the whole drink.
The people who can sit at this table are all old people from the stronghold, who are more or less in charge of things, and not all of them are from the Lin clan.
Seeing that they are so young, they are not stupid if they come directly to the management position. They know that they are not ordinary people.
"A hero comes from a young age. These nephews of Manager Lin are very clever at first glance. They are like dragons and phoenixes. It is best to learn from each other. Maybe we will have to rely on you for food in a few years. How can we take care of you!"
Without any pretense, they all raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Lin Mo and others were obviously still a little uncomfortable with this kind of wine table culture. They only raised their glasses to drink when Lin Yuanjun greeted them, and the rest of the time they ate with their heads down, which was quite comfortable.
Of course, I didn’t just sit back and eat.
I don't know if Lin Yuanjun and the others are really used to talking about things at the dinner table, or if they deliberately want the three of them to know something. After two kilograms of white wine, the conversation started.
"Chief steward, you said during this period..."
"Calling me brother at the dinner table, don't be so frivolous. With this kind of morality, I haven't seen you accept less daughters in Zuichun Tower!"
Lin Yuanjun's eyes widened and he said loudly.
It made everyone laugh.
"Hey, Brother Jun, if it's my fault, I'll fine you a drink."
The man didn't hesitate, grinned, poured a full glass, drank it all, and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth afterwards.
In the Lin family lineage, the eldest Lin Yuantian is the head of the family and has the highest prestige in terms of status; the second eldest Lin Yuangao is in charge of the business and is in charge of the money bag, and is the most kind-hearted person; and the fourth eldest Lin Yuanjun is the youngest and the most generous. , the least pretentious.
"I know what you are going to say. Please take some time off during this period. You should know what you should and shouldn't do."
Lin Yuanjun's tone became a little more serious as he ate the food.
Then he glanced at Lin Mo and the others, and continued:
"The brothers at Zhou Shengjun's place have sent the message. There has been quite a fuss over the tax increase this time. They probably want to get some profit from us again. Don't be stingy with money when you should be careful.
In addition, let Lao Bao, Lao Miao and the others be more restrained recently. If something happens at this juncture, it will be difficult for me to handle it. "
"yes!"
.....
They all nodded.
"Lao Bao and Lao Miao are members of the gangs supported by our Lin family in Fangshui Street. They are the bosses of the Tsing Yi Gang and the Ax Gang respectively."
A tall man with an eyebrow next to Lin Mo whispered, explaining to them.
His name is Liu Sanshi. He is fat and strong. He speaks with a northern accent. He is the business elder of the stronghold. He specializes in selling goods and looking for sellers.
Seeing that the three of them were a little confused, he lowered his voice a little.
"Sometimes when doing business, you have to be honest on the outside, but you also have to be tough on the inside, otherwise the business will be difficult and you won't be able to continue doing it."
he said ambiguously.
Lin Mo was silent.
But it took him a moment to understand.
If you don't do something, others will do it, and others will do it to you. If you want to avoid being done by others, you can only do it yourself.
It's true.
Then Lin Yuanjun took Lin Mo and the others around to other tables, toasting where they should and building relationships where they should, which also allowed them to truly understand what kind of business Lin's business was.
Seriously speaking, it is centered on the cultivation of spiritual fields and the sale of mountain products, but it also includes comprehensive businesses such as restaurants, gambling stalls, and grain shops as supplements.
"Listen more and learn more from now on. Although many of the people drinking together today talk like their father and mother, they have very strict rules when it comes to doing things.
But after all, we must keep in mind that strength is the key. Why are there so many people surrounding your fourth uncle today? Isn’t it because I am loyal, have a strong fist, and am intimidating? "
Lin Yuanjun saw that they knew everyone well, so he sent the three people out of the door and warned them in a low voice.
The three people quickly said yes.
Seeing this, Lin Yuanjun's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand to indicate that he should leave first, then turned around and entered the restaurant again.
Lin Mo and others returned directly along the road to their stronghold on Fangshui Street.
The Fangshui Street stronghold is on the south side of the street. It is a large house owned by the Lin family. Next to it is the Lin family business, which is considered the Lin family's big industry on Lin Yu's side.
Halfway there, Lin Junhao made an excuse and took a step ahead. He didn't know what he was doing at night.
Lin Mo and Lin Junyang both had dull personalities, and they were not too familiar with each other. They returned home in silence all the way.
The guards who stayed at the stronghold along the way had obviously undergone strict training and knew people well. When they saw Lin Mo and the two of them, they opened the door directly. They were afraid that they would not know the way because they just came, so they called a guard to lead the way, which was considered thoughtful.
The room assigned to Lin Mo was a small courtyard, which was slightly beyond the layout of the steward. In addition to two rooms for one master at a time, it also came with a private practice place and a well, which satisfied him.
When they returned to the yard, the maid Lin Hongdie had already boiled the hot water. When she saw Lin Mo coming back, she happily started preparing a medicinal bath. Then she undressed and took off his clothes. After confirming that no one needed help with the bath, she went into the room again and started. hotbed.
This kind of extremely corrupt life made him uncomfortable for a while.
However, he did not reject everything out of self-righteousness.
This kind of life where people can take off their clothes and take off their clothes even when taking a bath is really enjoyable.
But the gentle town, the Tomb of Heroes.
Lin Mo sighed and watched as the color of the potion in the bucket became lighter and the water temperature dropped. He stood up directly, tapped his toes, and jumped out of the bucket.
It’s okay to enjoy, who doesn’t like to enjoy? A gentleman who really doesn't like the fireworks of this world has long since gone to heaven to become a god.
But it’s not the time yet.
'Establish a destiny, establish a destiny. '
He thought of the scene at the clan meeting a few days ago. He closed his eyes slightly and did not move. He saw only a light layer of lime gray clinging to his body, and a seated Buddha looming on his back as broad as a field.
One of his fingers pointed to the sky and the other pointed to the ground, with a compassionate face. Upon closer inspection, his face was somewhat similar to Lin Mo...
