Chapter 345 The Choice of Lin He and Lin Jiang
"Hey, Boss Shen, wait a minute, wait a minute. I really want to join the milk tea shop. We will do everything according to Boss Shen's instructions, and we can sign the contract now." Boss Lu panicked and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
Boss Lu was envious when he saw Boss Qian making a lot of money after opening a milk tea shop.
"Wouldn't it have been better if Boss Lu had been so straightforward earlier? We wouldn't have to waste so much of each other's time." Shen Wanning said, and sat down again.
The next step was to sign the contract directly, and Shen Wanning left without even having dinner together.
After Shen Wanning left, Boss Qian patted Boss Lu on the shoulder and said, "I told you that with Boss Shen's personality, it's impossible for him to make concessions. Look, I was right!"
Boss Lu gave a wry smile, "I didn't expect Boss Shen to be so unwilling to give up even a cent. Fortunately, the deal was finally done."
After signing the contract, the two returned to Mingyue Tower.
As soon as Lin He arrived at Mingyue Tower, he couldn't wait to start looking at the account book.
While concentrating on reading the account book, a clear voice rang out, "Brother Xiaohe, why are you in the county town?"
Lin He looked up and saw that it was He Zhenzhen, who had just finished drinking milk tea and came down from upstairs.
"Zhenzhen, what a coincidence!" Lin He greeted with a smile.
He Zhenzhen skipped over to Lin He, pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Xiaohe, there's a new pastry shop that's opened on East Street. Their dragon beard pastry is especially delicious. I'll take you to try it."
"Okay, okay!" Lin He said happily, then frowned again, "But my aunt and I agreed that we're here to learn about business today, and I haven't finished looking at my account books yet!"
Shen Wanning happened to walk over and nudged him with a smile. "It's okay, go ahead! If your parents agree to you and I doing business together, you'll have plenty of time to study in the future! Go shopping, be safe, and come back early."
Lin He put down the account book and immediately walked over to He Zhenzhen. "Aunt, Zhenzhen and I will go out now. I will be back before the shop closes."
As Lin He was about to go out, Shen Wanning called him, "Hey, wait, do you have the money? Just run out!"
Lin He pinched the hem of his clothes embarrassedly and said, "No, auntie, can you lend me some first?"
Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head, then pulled out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to him. It contained some small change and copper coins. "Go ahead. You're a boy, don't let Zhenzhen pay."
Lin He nodded vigorously, "Okay, aunt, I'll remember it!"
He Zhenzhen was still mumbling, "Why can't you let me pay..."
But before he could finish his words, he was pulled out by Lin He. Yaohong followed behind and almost couldn't catch up with them.
Shen Wanning looked at their backs and shook her head. Auntie can only help you up to this point!
When she returned home in the evening, Shen Wanning brought up the matter at the dinner table.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, I have something I want to ask for your opinions on. It's about Xiaohe's future. What are your plans?"
As Lin He's aunt, she shouldn't have brought up this matter, but she was worried that she would have to go to the capital soon and no one would take care of her business affairs, so she could only see if she could train Lin He first.
Lin Jingce and Xu were confused, so Xu casually said, "Let him study now, and then he can do whatever he wants in the future!"
Aunt Zhang seemed to have seen through Shen Wanning's plan and didn't want to embarrass her, so she took the initiative to speak, "Since Xiao Jiang and Xiao He don't plan to take the imperial examination, let's ask them first. If they are willing to study, we will definitely support them. But if not, why not let them choose the path they want to take."
Aunt Zhang had her own reasons for saying this. She could see that Lin Jiang had feelings for Yue Mingzhu, but the child was taciturn and not very good at expressing himself.
Lin Jiang enjoys carpentry. He earned his position as an official through carpentry, and his future promotions will depend on carpentry. If he wants to be with Yue Mingzhu, he must at least become a high-ranking official in Beijing.
This means making more wooden products that benefit the country and the people, but making wooden products takes more time, so studying can be put aside.
Before Lin Jingce and his wife could say anything, Aunt Zhang immediately asked, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao He, are you two still willing to continue studying?"
Lin Jiang thought about it, nodded, and said, "I'm willing, but can I only go half a day and do carpentry at home for the other half?"
This answer was somewhat unexpected, so Aunt Zhang continued to ask, "Didn't you just want to do carpentry before and not study? Why did you suddenly want to study for so long?"
Lin Jiang stammered and replied, "Aunt is right. If you want to understand that book, you still need to learn more words."
In fact, he saw the gap between the Yue family and his family, and he was worried that the Yue family would look down on him for being illiterate. Of course, although he didn't dare to dream of Yue Mingzhu now, he always had a hope in his heart.
"Okay, boss, Xu, what do you two think? Should we force Xiao Jiang to go to school for a whole day, or should we follow his wishes and only study for half a day and do carpentry for half a day?" asked Aunt Zhang.
Xu was a little anxious, but seeing everyone was looking at her, she had no choice but to say, "Then let's do as Xiao Jiang says. Anyway, as long as he can produce more, his official position will be promoted higher and higher in the future."
"Well, that's fine. Let's go tell the teacher tomorrow that Xiaojiang will go to school in the morning and do carpentry at home in the afternoon. What about Xiaohe? Xiaohe, what do you think?" Aunt Zhang asked again.
Lin He said anxiously, "I don't want to study anymore. I want to learn business from my aunt. In the future, I want to expand my business to all parts of the country. Now I have learned enough characters and can understand many books."
"No, you have to at least study for half a day like your elder brother." Xu interrupted him immediately.
"I..." Lin He wanted to refute, but he was worried that Xu Shi wouldn't give him half the time, so he changed the subject and said, "How about this, I'll go to school one day, and go to the county town with Second Uncle to look at the milk tea shop the next day."
Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. It's true that a grown-up son is no longer under his mother's control!"
As for Lin Hu, everyone knew that he would continue to study, so Aunt Zhang did not ask him.
"Okay, now that it's decided, let's do it starting tomorrow!" Aunt Zhang made the final decision.
Lin He said quickly, "Then I will go to town with my second uncle and aunt to do business tomorrow, and go to school the day after tomorrow."
Everyone saw through Lin He's thoughts, but no one exposed him.
The next morning, Lin Jiang went to explain the situation to the teacher, and Lin Jingcheng and Shen Wanning took Lin He to Mingyue Tower.
Shen Wanning wanted to hand over Mingyue Tower to Lin He, so this time she told him everything about the operation, personnel, and everyone's salary of Mingyue Tower.
