"Everyone, Qianxue and I have come here today to thank Mister Lin. "I know that there has been a bit too much gossip about our store recently, and I took this opportunity to tell everyone about it. No matter what happens outside, our store will remain as usual."
At this point, Lin Jing turned to Feng Yuqing and said, "Manager Feng, shall we begin now?"
"Haha, Mister Lin, you don't have a problem, just a problem." Feng Yuqing smiled as he spoke, turning around to look at the others, "Everyone is here today, please bear witness. According to our boss's request, from today onwards, our Baolin Temple will officially sign a cooperation agreement with Mister Jiang Yuncai."
"From now on, Baolinzhai and the family will share resources and share them. The two families will be as close as family."
When they heard this, everyone was shocked. What was going on? The two shops opposite of each other hadn't fought, and they'd even become relatives? Just what did this boss of the Baolin temple actually think?
One had to know that Jiang Yuncai's Treasure House was a property owned by the Jiang family. Even if Baolinzhai had some ability, he still wouldn't be a match for the Jiang family. Cooperating with them, wasn't it equivalent to sending himself to someone to eat? Could it be that the boss of Baolingzhai was a fool?
"Shopkeeper Feng, have you guys thought it through yet? Cooperation with the Treasure House is not a small matter. Besides, Jiang Yuncai is not here right now. It's still uncertain if you and these two brats will sign the agreement or not!" Someone immediately said this.
"That's right. Although Jiang Qianxue is the young miss of the Jiang family, but there are still people like Jiang Tao up there. Moreover, this Lin Jing is a useless trash, and his status in the Jiang family is not even comparable to that of a servant."
"If Shopkeeper Feng really wants to find someone to work with, our Feng Ling Night's Lent is willing to talk to you. After all, the current Treasure House is no longer the same as before."
Voices rose and fell one after another. Some of the people who were thinking quickly wanted to snatch this collaboration away. The food was extremely difficult to watch.
Facing such a noisy scene, the expression on Feng Yuqing's face did not change at all, and he continued to speak with a beaming smile, "Everyone, I understand your thoughts, but the matter of cooperation was decided by our boss. I am just a shopkeeper, and do not have the ability to change it. "How about this, our boss is an open-minded person. If everyone is interested, we can wait for him to come back before talking."
At this point, someone from the audience changed his tone and asked: "Manager Feng, let's not beat around the bush. In the current Treasure House, we don't have the ability to cooperate, your boss must have been tricked by someone. Tell us, when will he be back?"
"Yeah, opening a shop is such a big thing, yet he's not even here. What's more important than this? Isn't it inappropriate to leave everyone here?"
Feng Yuqing's smile did not change. "That's not something I can ask. How about this? When the boss returns, I'll inform everyone immediately. When the time comes, you can ask for some time to chat with Mister Lin."
The shopkeepers saw that Feng Yuqing was adamant, so they had no choice but to give up. However, their gazes towards Lin Jing and Jiang Qianxue were filled with disdain, as if to say: You guys can only stay here for one or two days.
Jiang Qianxue was both angry and helpless. The reason these people dared to act so arrogantly in front of her today was because her father's position at home had plummeted. Eldest and Second Uncle were trying their best to suppress them. In the eyes of outsiders, the Treasure House didn't have any chance to make a comeback.
At this time, Lin Jing was actually laughing in his heart. Although these people seemed shrewd and shrewd, as if they were able to seize all the benefits in their hands, they were actually extremely stupid. Even the words of Feng Yuqing were so clear; this matter was decided by Boss Lin. They didn't even think about who Boss Lin was.
However, when he thought about it, he realized that no matter how much these people thought about it, they would never have imagined that the most useless and crippled son-in-law of the Jiang Clan was actually the boss of Baolin Temple.
In this world, it was normal to judge a person by his appearance. However, once an inherent concept was formed, it would be difficult to change it. Lin Jing had been in the Jiang family for so long that his image had become deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
However, this was exactly what Lin Jing wanted. Indeed, he could directly tell Jiang Qianxue that he was Boss Lin. He had a lot of priceless antique literature and he was no longer the same good-for-nothing as before. Perhaps Jiang Qianxue's attitude towards him would immediately change, but to him, this was meaningless.
What he wanted was sincerity, a sincerity that had nothing to do with wealth and status.
Although it was noisy for a while, the opening ceremony of Baolin Temple was successfully completed. Today, every boss could be considered to have experienced the power of Baolin Temple. In addition, they were also filled with curiosity towards the mysterious' Mister Lin 'behind the scenes.
Many people had already made up their minds before leaving. Once they returned, they would use all connections to find out just who this "Mister Lin" was. As for this matter, Lin Jing never thought about it. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
If they could find out who Mr. Lin was, it would be like seeing a ghost.
Jiang Qianxue had always been in low spirits. Even when she signed the cooperation agreement with Feng Yuqing on the spot, she only revealed a slight smile. Lin Jing knew that the important part wasn't the cooperation between the Treasure House and the Treasure House. It was the Jiang Clan's quarterly assembly, which was about to begin in two days.
The importance of this meeting was even greater than the final summary. For the three brothers of the Jiang family, at least, Jiang Yun had to put his life on the line to protect his remaining power and assets, and Jiang Yunsheng and Jiang Yunzhu had to trample him to death.
Both sides tried their best, and Jiang Qianxue happened to blame it on the weaker party. It was normal for her to be worried and anxious.
In the afternoon, the couple returned. When Lin Jing saw the smiles on their faces, he knew that they had reaped quite a harvest this time. Perhaps, they really did have some real treasures.
However, Lin Jing naturally didn't have the good fortune to be able to see it first. Jiang Yun covered everything up and locked it in the top safe in the Treasure House. Only then could he be at ease. As for the type, Lin Jing had no idea.
He called Jiang Qianxue and Lin Jing over, and said with a smile, "We don't need to worry about the family meeting the day after tomorrow. The things I said on the phone earlier were a bit too much, so don't mind them."
Qianxue, it's not that Daddy doesn't love you, but you should also know what your Eldest and Second Uncle's families want to do. If we don't go all out this time, we will lose all of our opportunities.
Jiang Qianxue still felt somewhat wronged, but she didn't insist. She nodded slightly and said, "I know that father is in a difficult situation, and my daughter is willing to give up everything for the family. However, I really can't do that kind of thing."
"Alright, alright, look at you, didn't dad admit his wrongs? Don't be sad, okay? This time, even if dad owes you, after the family meeting is over, I promise you, I'll make it up to you. For the next half year, as long as there's a good calligraphy and painting, I'll buy it for you, okay?"
Jiang Yuncai looked at Jiang Qianxue with a loving expression and said that she was his beloved daughter.
However, seeing that Jiang Qianxue's expression didn't soften, Jiang Yun's heart moved. He turned to Lin Jing and changed the topic. "Lin Jing, you did well this time. That twenty million saved our lives. But where did you get this money from?"
"To tell you the truth, dad, I borrowed this money." Lin Jing thought for a moment. There was no need to hide this matter, so he directly told the truth.
His expression darkened as he coldly said, "Lin Jing, you should understand that I have treated you well in the past few years. At that time, we really did lack money and thought of all the ways we could think of."
"But if you go and borrow it, you won't have to worry about one or two numbers if you are going to return it in the future. You are the one who borrowed the money, so don't drag us down with you!"
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment. What did that mean? Then, his brain spun and he immediately came to a realization. Jiang Yuncai had misunderstood that he went to borrow money from someone who was not in the right state of mind. Just as he was about to explain, Jiang Qianxue opened her mouth.
"Dad, how can you say that? Lin Jing borrowed money for the sake of our family. Not only did you not thank him, but you also wanted him to support himself. How could he possibly support himself?" Even if we have to return the twenty million, it should be us! "
Jiang Yuncai frowned and said to Jiang Qianxue, "Qianxue, why are you talking to Dad? I didn't say that I wouldn't pay the twenty million, but you know that I don't. Those fellows are people who eat people without spitting out their bones. They absolutely cannot be tainted. "
"If you pull our Treasure House down with you, then it will be a bottomless pit, and it will never be filled to the brim. Since Lin Jing was the one to borrow it, this matter should naturally be borne by him. As for the extra ones, we can't even get a single cent! "
"What makes you think that? The person Lin Jing is looking for is Elder Dong. Father, you've gone too far. How could you think of him like that!? " Jiang Qianxue's tone was filled with anger, and her expression turned ugly. After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran outside.
If it was any other time, Lin Jing would definitely chase after him, but not today. He had long since made up his mind that he would speak to Jiang Yun when he returned. Besides, he couldn't catch up to him right now. How could he possibly catch up to someone who was missing a leg?
With Jiang Qianxue gone, Lin Jing no longer had to bow and kneel. Since he was going to open his mouth and say something, he had to lift his aura up first. Thus, he took a stool and sat down across from Jiang Yuncai.
