113: Give me freedom or give me death!
When she was upset, Chang Xi, who was sitting by the window, saw the birds flying freely and chirping on the treetops outside, seeming to be laughing at her for being so fussy. As she watched, she suddenly laughed,
Yes, when did she become so unsure of herself?
Until now, she seems to be fearless, seems to be able to tolerate anything, and even uses other people as tools. In her place, there are only two types of people, useful and useless.
There is no third classification.
Some people may think she is cold-blooded, but how can she be full of emotions when her own survival is not guaranteed?
In fact, she knew that she was deeply wary of this feudal society. Even though she was familiar with the legal code, she knew that the rule of man was more important than the rule of law here. A little willfulness in power would not only bring about damage to the future, but also the possibility of failure.
It will be an eternity of death, so every step you take must be carefully considered.
But even if the road ahead is full of thorns, she must keep going, because behind her is a cliff, and she has no way out.
She is not willing to be a pawn wife for the rest of her life and be bought and sold at will. If she doesn't have freedom, she would rather die!
So, why should she be afraid of wolves in front and tigers in back?
The road is at her feet, and she, Chang Xi, has always been fearless. No matter what is waiting for her ahead, she will move forward.
Just execute the countermeasures you thought of before. There is no need for her to be easily influenced by anyone or anything. Although this is not the legal society she is familiar with, people are still the same people. As long as they understand human nature, there is no reason to fail.
After all, the boss never gives up.
Dong Li and Xiao Tao on the side looked at Chang Xi sitting motionless after finishing breakfast. The two exchanged worried looks, wondering what happened to Chang Xi?
After being scolded by Chang Xi last night, Mammy Luo didn't dare to enter the inner room to wait on her today. She kept waiting outside. When she was bored, she even whispered to Yun Duo and Xiao Su, the two second-class maids guarding the door.
, but she kept looking in from the corners of her eyes, fearing that she might not hear when Chang Xi called her.
After a long while, Dongli stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Ms. Chang, are the cicadas outside too noisy?"
Only then did Chang Xi realize that the noise in her ears was cicadas screaming. When she thought about it, she laughed out loud and reached out to pat Dongli and Xiaotao. When she saw the two women looking at her in confusion, she
She smiled and waved her hand, "Let them sing in the trees. They can only call twice in the summer, but they won't be able to call anymore in autumn."...
Dongli and Xiaotao looked at each other again. Madam Chang was so kind-hearted that she would say such a thing. If it were any other master, she would have ordered people to kill all these annoying bugs.
"Okay, let's pack up and we'll get ready to leave the house later."
She also wanted to personally check out the three suitable places for building workshops. These could not be left to others, so she still had to be busy. There was no need to waste time thinking about things. The ship would arrive at the bridge.
Xiao Tao was the first to respond and got ready first.
At this moment, the mind of interpreting the language came.
Chang Xi went to greet him personally and asked as soon as they met, "How was it?"
Jie Yuxin walked in with Chang Xi and said, "After seeing the conditions you responded to, Brother Lin's manager expressed his willingness to have an interview."
Chang Xi frowned, "Won't Third Brother Lin come forward?"
She really wanted to get to know this third brother Lin, not just because she was curious, but because this man's abilities made her jealous. She didn't have the connections to find so many skilled craftsmen for her to use, so she could only lay eggs first.
Jie Yuxin looked apologetic and said, "I tried to persuade him, but he never likes to meet strangers and has never agreed to come for an interview in person. Madam Chang, if you want to see him, I can only think of another way in the future."
arrange."
Being refused to meet again, Chang Xi didn't feel much frustration, but she became more curious about Brother Lin, and even speculated whether he might be autistic.
"There's no rush, let's finish this matter first."
Hearing this, Jie Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. By the way, I made an appointment with the steward at the teahouse in front of the mansion. It's almost time, so why don't we go over and talk later? I'll wait a minute, brother.
Come pick us up."
Make an appointment at the house
There seems to be something wrong with the meeting. Whether it is arranged at her place or at Chang's place, it is not appropriate. After all, this business is not owned by the government.
Chang Xi nodded, not going to bother with these details.
Sure enough, not long after, Jie Ming and Bai Shi came over together.
As soon as Mr. Bai came in, he smiled and said, "I will keep you company."
Chang Xi smiled and did not expose it. She probably came here to keep her sister-in-law Jie Yuxin company. After all, she wanted to meet her husband, and since Jie Yuxin Yunying was unmarried, she would be a bit taboo, fearing that Qian was nagging her.
Damn, Mr. Bai's move was just to silence her.
Besides, this situation is also good for her, at least it will be easier for her to get through when she asks Qin for instructions later.
Jie Yuxin couldn't pay attention to these details. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing to have his brother and sister-in-law accompany him when meeting guests, so he had no objections.
Chang Xi came to the teahouse opposite Jiefu for the second time. The tea here is full of fragrance and the environment is quiet. It is a good place for conversation.
As soon as they arrived, they saw someone standing up and hurried over to greet them.
"I've met Master Xie." The steward of the Lin Mansion recognized Xie Ming and immediately came over to greet him. Then he greeted Jie Yuxin. He obviously didn't recognize the remaining Bai family and Chang Xi, but he was afraid of offending others, so he would be respectful.
He bowed.
Xie Ming smiled and said, "Manager Lin doesn't need to be polite."
In fact, he didn't even know which manager of the Lin Mansion this was, so he called out like that.
Jie Yuxin smiled and introduced, "Bago, Eight Sisters, Mrs. Chang, this is Lin Shan, the manager of the Lin Mansion." Then he introduced his group to Lin Shan.
Lin Shan finally recognized the person, but compared to Xie Ming and his wife, he looked at Chang Xi a few more times, and he obviously knew that the person in charge of today's interview on cooperation matters was the unassuming Chang family.
Chang Xi's initial impression of Lin Shan was good, which shows that the Lin family should be a very well-behaved family, at least their management style seems to be very upright.
After everyone sat down separately, Manager Lin Shan immediately got to the point and put the difficulty in front of him, "This machine is too urgent and there are too many of them. We don't have so many manpower, and we definitely can't do it in the time you require...
…”
Only the third master of the Lin family likes to do this, and recruiting skilled craftsmen is also to meet the needs of the third master. Only in this way will he not run around, and he has never expected to make any profit from this.
Over the years, no one has laughed behind their backs that the third master of the Lin family is a fool. Even other people in the house have some opinions. They feel that the old master is partial and spends a lot of money for a fool to squander. After all, the third master has this hobby.
Big investment, little return.
This was the first time that someone was interested in something made by Mr. San and placed a large order. The old man was shocked when he got this huge order contract and hurriedly called him over to ask what this was.
Didn't Miss Jie San use it deliberately to make her third grandson happy?
In fact, he didn't know much about the inside story. He only knew that Miss Xie San came to the house to discuss this matter. The third master had always been the hands-off boss, so he had to force himself to talk. At first, he was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. This was
Treat Lin Mansion as a workshop.
However, this was the first time that Mr. San had seen rewards for his hobby. He did not dare to neglect and hurriedly made arrangements. However, no matter how he arranged it, it was impossible to supply a large amount of goods in a short time.
This is also where he is in trouble.
Chang Xi frowned and asked, "When will you be able to fully supply the goods?"
"A conservative estimate of at least half a year." Lin Shan thought to himself that this was still fast, but he didn't dare to say "a year" for fear of scaring away this customer.
Chang Xi frowned even more when she heard Lin Shan's answer. If the goods were supplied at this time, the contract signed this year would be colder than day lilies.
"No, it's too late." She shook her head and said, "I gave you one and a half months to fully supply the goods. Now you can relax it to three months. This is my minimum time requirement."
"There's no way, there's really no way. We don't have that many manpower." Lin Shan spread his hands and said, "Besides, you still ask for confidentiality, so it's even more impossible to recruit people casually. This construction period will never be met. Mrs. Chang, you have to understand.
Our problem is that this is not the main industry of Lin Mansion and we will not invest too much in this area..."
In other words, not for
With this order from you, we will expand the scale.
Jie Ming on the side heard this and roughly understood the contradiction between the two parties. So before Chang Xi spoke, he said first, "You didn't tell Grandpa Lin, will we have any orders in the future? There will definitely be more needs in the future.
If you invest more, you will definitely make money.”
Mr. Bai pulled her husband's sleeve and glared at him. Chang Xi hadn't spoken yet, so why did he interrupt? Besides, who knew better, or Chang Xi?
Even Fang Fan's *** can't see his true nature, so he shouldn't beeping casually. Of course, she herself is not much better than him in this regard.
Xie Ming looked aggrieved. Is he so bad and unreliable in the eyes of his wife?
Chang Xi's eyes lit up and she cast an admiring look at Xie Ming. That's okay. In the short time she has been with her, she has made rapid progress. She actually knows how to use her own advantages in negotiations.
However, seeing Mr. Bai's actions, she quietly pointed at Xie Ming, and then gave Mr. Bai a thumbs-up gesture to show her approval, so that Mr. Bai didn't need to worry too much about her crippled husband.
Mr. Bai leaned into Chang Xi's ear and asked, "Really?" Did you not deceive her?
Chang Xi nodded. Seeing Xie Ming's progress, she felt that the future professional manager she had chosen to train was gradually getting on the right track. This was a good sign.
When Bai got the answer in the affirmative, she no longer looked down upon Xie Ming. However, she still made up her mind to untie Ming's skin tightly from time to time to prevent him from having a chance to float. She still had to hold on to the string of the kite tightly, and returned
This is how her mother taught her back home.
Lin Shan over there didn't care about the lawsuits between these people, but was shocked by Xie Ming's words. This meant that he would place additional orders in the future. Is that what he meant?
Seeing that Xie Ming gave an affirmative answer, he immediately made a calculation in his mind. This could be a huge profit. Even if he recruits or buys people for this, the Lin family will not lose.
